Chapter 151
"That''s not true. Of course, ayman like you would say something like that. It''s normal for
businessmen to use some tactics in business wars. You haven''t seen much of the world."
Valerie Rae didn''t want to give up and she retorted.
In fact, both of them were actually speaking for Skr Hond from their own perspective.
"This is different from the tactics you speak of!"
"Isn''t it the same, Skr?"
When Valerie said that, she deliberately turned to ask Skr, hoping that he would take her side.
However, when she looked over, she noticed that Skr was sitting there and staring at Coralie
through the iron window. There seemed to be some special meaning in his cold eyes.
"Both of you should leave now."
Skr broke his silence when he saw the two women quarreling. He tried to drive them away.
"Skr, I..." Valerie didn''t expect that he would drive them away. She looked at Coralie and said, "Your
presence annoys Skr."
"I''ll go then."
Coralie Chariott originally intended to sit here and talk to Skr, but she couldn''t even gratify such a
simple desire.
Since Valerie was here, the whole dynamic was steeping in awkwardness. Their roles were vaguely
defined. Perhaps she had no right to stay here.
Coralie left first.
Seeing that Coralie had left, Valerie thought Skr would feel at ease now. She said, "Skr, how are
you doing in there? Why don''t I ask my father to bail you out?"
"There''s no need for that. It''s nice here."
Skr got up with Coralie''s lunch box in his hand. There was a trace of impatience in his eyes when he
looked at Valerie, then, he returned to the detention center.
In fact, if Skr wanted to be out, it would have been very easy.
However, he had to stay inside for the time being and stir the outside world with their spections. With
the support of the media, his image would be stered negatively and the Rae family would inevitably
be eager to get rid of him.
When Valerie left the detention center, Coralie was nowhere in sight.
......
Over the weekend, Skr did not reveal anything in the detention center and the police could not find
any more evidence either. The case eventually came to a standstill.
The media, on the other hand, were excited. They analyzed Skr''s interview in the past, word by
word, hoping to find some clues.
Once there was a menial discovery, it would be magnified infinitely.
Therefore, on Monday, the stock of the Hond Group plummeted because of Skr''s incident.
Thepany held an emergency meeting at once.
Anthony Hond, who was abroad, had no choice but to return to H Country.
Under the pressure of the shareholders, Anthony had to go and meet Skr.
Anthony''s first sentence in the detention center was, "You must get out of here today."
There wasn''t any conclusive evidence to prove that the smuggled items belonged to him, so it was
easy for him to be released.
However, Skr had no intention of leaving the detention center.
"That''s my business."
The rtionship between Skr and Anthony was neutral.
Anthony had always trained Skr as a sessor, and his requirements to him were much stricter
than that of a normal father. This traumatized Skr during his childhood years.
However, Skr did not expect that Anthony would return to H Country. After all, his overseas business
was huge, and his rtionship with Lillian Ford was stiff. Therefore, Anthony tried his best to avoid
"The shares of Hond group has dropped significantly. The shareholders are chaotic. What''s the
matter with you?" Anthony''s face darkened, "Tell me, what''s going on? From your attitude, I''m sure that
you''re in control of everything. What are you nning?"
Anthony doubted this matter when he first heard of it. He knew his son well.
Now that Skr was in the detention center, he could see just calm Skr was. Anthony became even
more certain in his reasoning.
"I know what I''m doing."
Of course, Skr would not tell Anthony about the details.
If he were to tell Anthony that everything was done just so that he could cancel the engagement, and if
Anthony were to discover the rtionship he had with Coralie, he was not sure what would his father
do.
"I don''t care what you''re nning. I will bail you outter and provide evidence to the police so you
could be acquitted. You''d better listen to me."
Anthony had only one purpose, which was to resolve the turmoil and for Skr return to thepany
as soon as possible.
Half an hour after that, Skr was bailed out.
Although Skr did not say anything, he sent a message to Harvey Felton and Timothy Young, telling
them that his father had bailed him out.
......
After Skr came out of jail, Anthony did not return home with him. They went to thepany first.
Anthony wanted to appraise the condition of Skyton Corporation.
It was not until Skr had arrived at thepany that he noticed that Anthony had brought a secretary
and an assistant with him.
The secretary was a woman, and Skr knew that Lillian would be furious at the fact that Anthony had
hired a female secretary.
"Hello, Young Master."
Anthony''s assistant was called Barrett Yeager. He had been working for Anthony for a long time and he
was about ten years older than Skr. When he saw Skr, he naturally came to greet him.
However, the female secretary remained silent.
"Hello, Uncle Yeager."
Skr greeted him back.
The young secretary stared at Skr, but she didn''t say anything.
"I remember that Mom doesn''t like you hiring a female secretary."
Skr looked at the secretary who was staring at him. Although he was not an expert in love, he felt
very ufortable under her gaze.
"Mind your own business."
Anthony scowled, flipping through the documents of thepany.
Skr sat on the side and said nothing. After all, there were no problems with thepany''s ounts
or business development. He was confident about this.
He stood beside Anthony for a while and gradually felt a little bored. Then, he went outside to talk to
Jayson Lowell about thepany''s situation.
However, as soon as he left, the female secretary followed him.
"Young Master Hond."

"Yes?"
Skr stopped and looked at her. This secretary seemed to be a mixed-blood beauty. Her hair was tied
back, like a ck waterfall. She had distinctive facial features and she wasn''t wearing professional
clothes. Instead, she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. It was a casual look.
Anthony had a very high standard for the appearance of those who worked with him. Even on casual
asions, she would anger him if she had dressed like this.
Skr realized that this woman''s identity was special.
"Nothing important. I just want to tell you that my name is Evelyn Simpson."
Evelyn''s voice was gentle. It was the kind of voice that most men loved to listen to.
"I''m not interested in your name."
Skr didn''t know what this woman had in her mind. Besides, she seemed to have an unusual
rtionship with Anthony. That was enough for Skr to keep her at an arm''s length.
