Chapter 160
"Everywhere, of course. Every corner that the superiors might check!"
Jackson pointed at the weeds around him.
"Are they going to inspect the factory next Monday?"
"Yes!"

"Am I going to clean this ce all by myself? What about you?"
Coralie Chariott nearly lost her temper. She wasn''t trying to shrug off any work, but Uncle Victor had
just said that the factory had not operated for the longest time, and people in charge would rarely
However, an inspection sprung up just after she reported for work. It waspletely unfair.
"Me? I''m the managing chief here. You couldn''t possibly count on me to clean this ce. could you?"
Jackson then around at the factory. He felt an inexplicable chill brushing past his skin before heading
back to his car, "It''s really cold."
It was November.
The temperature was low.
"Jackson, I could only clean up so much in such a short time. I couldn''t possibly clean this whole ce
up alone before next Monday. I bet even five people wouldn''t be able to clean up the whole factory
here."
Coralie was just stating the truth.
Jackson retorted, "I don''t care. If you don''t do your work well, you will get fired."
After that, he stepped on the gas and disappeared.
Coralie heaved a long sigh.
She ran to Uncle Victor, who was guarding the factory at the reception area, and told him what
happened just now. Then she asked, "Did the staff get fired in this way all the time?"
After all, she was unfairly asked to clean up the whole factory in a week. Instead of getting fired after
working hard, it would be better to do nothing and wait for her turn to beid off.
"I don''t know. There hasn''t been anyone here for a long time."
Uncle Victor shook his head.
Coralie had no choice but to walk around the whole factory alone. It was enormous, perhaps even
She thought for a moment. Although she didn''t n to scrub the factory shiny, she still cleaned the
office.
After that, she made a cup of tea and settledfortably in the office. Then, she looked at her mobile
phone, wondering if she should send a message to Skr.
At this moment, a notification suddenly popped up on her mobile phone.
"New progress in Skyton Corporation''s President''s smuggle case."
Coralie clicked on it. The article clearly stated that the corpses found weren''t of babies, but of monkeys.
There were also manyments on the matter.
Most of them had guessed that Skr Hond had been framed.
Coralie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up her mobile phone to call Wayne Hond, hoping
that he would deliver food to Skr, who was still in the hospital.
After all, Skr had gotten injured because of her.
......
At this moment, Hector Rae had caught wind of the news.
Valerie Rae was not at work as her injury had yet to heal after hurting herself a few days ago. She
would onlymute between the hospital and her home.
Valerie was watching the television when Hector got home.
"Dad, have you seen the news yet?"
She sprung up happily the moment she saw Hector.
After all, her father had called off the engagement because of Skr''s alleged misconduct. Now that
Skr had been proven to be innocent, Valerie was ecstatic.
"That''s enough."
Hector put down his bag and made his way to the study.
However, Valerie was displeased with his answer. She caught up with him, grabbed his hand, and said,
"Dad, please. I still want to get engaged to Skr. I assure you that there won''t be a problem this time."
After all, the pretense of being mentally disturbed came at a high price.
She had to hurt herself just so that Skr would cast one nce at her. Otherwise, there was nothing
else she could do to pull Skr''s attention away from Coralie.
Even Valerie herself didn''t know how long she could sustain on her trick.
"We were all fooled. Skr is the one behind this matter!"
Hector found out that the alleged aplice in the smuggling case was very likely to be one of
Skr''s men.
"That''s... that''s impossible. Why would he do that to himself? What good would it bring to him?"
Valerie was in disbelief.
Hector had also thought about this before, "What would Skr get out of this?"
This would precipitate an unsightly effect on both the Hond family and Skyton Corporation.
However, now that the corpse was discovered to be fake, Hector seemed to have understood
something. He stood still and looked at his daughter, who was still stuck in her wishful thinking. He was
furious, "He did this just to cancel the engagement."
Valerie was stunned.
"That''s impossible. There''s no way Skr would do that."
Hector was about to go to the study, but when he saw the distressed look on his daughter, he had no
choice but to stay andfort her. She patted her on the shoulder, "Valerie, I''ll find a good family for
you to marry into. The Hond family is bad news. I think that the eldest son of the Zac family is not too
bad. I''ll introduce you to each other soon."
In Hector''s eyes, everything would be fine and dandy as long as Valerie married a man whose family
was at the same level as the Rae''s. As for the man, it would be best if Valerie liked him, but it didn''t
matter even if she didn''t.
After all, her marriage would serve for the expansion of the influence of the Rae family.
"He, he woulde to like me. I know it for sure. Look at those boys in the past. Some of them didn''t
like me at first, but in the end, they fell for me, didn''t they?"
Valerie spoke in a hushed tone, which brought forth an almost sinister meaning.
She had always been in the center of attention ever since she was a child. All the boys adored and
liked her, and she was also willing to y the part of a considerate little princess.
She enjoyed the exhration of being surrounded by boys.
And among these boys, Skr stood out the most.
"Nothing is certain in this world."
Hector would not have said that if he hadn''t seen Skr recently. However, when Skr came to him
and made his stand clear thest time, the firm look in his eyes surmounted Hector''s threats. Valerie
had no ce in his heart at all.
"I..."
"Well, you should dress up when the Young Master of the Zac familyes to A City. Maybe, you will
Compared to the Hond family, Hector was hoping that Valerie bond a tie with the Zac family.
The Zac family owned a higher financial strength than the Hond family. Furthermore, they might be
able to help the Rae family in expanding their business in B City.
......
Valerie went to the hospital to visit Skr after that conversation with Hector. As his injuries were rather
severe, Skr was asked to stay in the hospital for further observation.
As soon as she entered the ward, she stered a happy expression on her face, "Skr, I''ve seen the
news. That''s great, your innocence has been proven."
She wore a shirt with three-quarter sleeves to show the gauze on her arm.
Skr lowered his head and nced at the gauze on her arm. The next moment, he turned away to
stare at the tablet in front of him. He replied faintly, "Okay."
He thought that he could finally cut Valerie if their engagement was canceled. However, it seemed as
though Valerie didn''t intend to keep any distance from him.
On the contrary, she seemed to have kicked her concern up a notch.
Furthermore, with her psychological disorder baring stubbornly at his face, Skr was almost at his
wits'' end now.
Their families were old friends with links in their businesses. It was almost impossible for Skr to
ignore Valeriepletely.
"Skr."
At this moment, another person walked in from the door.
Skr knew who it was without even looking up. He smiled and said to Wayne, "You''re here."
