Chapter 175


    Anthony didn''t expect that Skr would be next to his car. He pushed Evelyn away and tidied up his


    clothes.


    When Evelyn looked up, she was frightened to see Skr standing by the window. She quickly


    buttoned up her blouse.


    About a minuteter, Anthony rolled the window down, embarrassed. "Why are you here?"


    Skr raised his chin slightly and pointed to the car not far away, "Coincidentally, my car is stopped in


    front of you. I''ve been watching you for a long time."


    Anthony used to be a strict father in front of Skr. However, he didn''t know how to continue wielding


    his strict image after such incident.


    "All right, let''s go back and talk about itter."


    Anthony said.


    Now that Skr had such a good opportunity, he wanted to take it slow. Instead, he said leisurely,


    "Well, okay, see you in thepany tomorrow. By the way, I took a video just now."


    After that, he took a nce at Evelyn, who was blushing, and then returned to his car.


    "How did it go?" Harvey asked.


    Harvey witnessed the scandalous behaviour. He knew that Anthony had been oppressing Skr. Now


    that such a thing was revealed, he was considered thoroughly discredited.


    "It''s okay. I lied to him that I took a video."


    Skr exined.


    "By the way, I think there''s someone who might know more about Valerie''s car ident in the past."


    Harvey said.


    "Who?" Skr asked.


    "Franklin Moore."


    Upon hearing that name, Skr looked at Harvey with confusion.


    Harvey said as he recalled, "Back then, Franklin was obsessed with Valerie. At that time, Valerie


    suddenly decided to go abroad. He swore to go abroad with her at first, but in less than two days, it


    was as if he had changed into another person. He didn''t mention Valerie anymore but took a turn in


    dating celebrities."


    Hearing what he said, Skr also felt that it happened before.


    Back then, everyone knew that Franklin had feelings for Valerie. He had threatened Skr more than a


    dozen times. However, after Valerie went abroad, he acted as if he had never known her.


    ......


    The next day, Skr arrived at Skyton Corporation early in the morning.


    Anthony had been waiting there, in a suit and leather shoes, sitting in the president''s seat.


    At first, Evelyn was standing aside. When she saw Skring in, she closed the door and went out.


    "Let''s get straight to the point. I suspect that what happened to Coralie this time has something to do


    with Valerie. It''s impossible for me to marry her. As for other things, I can only take things one step at a


    time."


    Seeing that Evelyn had left, Skr got straight to the point.


    Now that he found out Anthony''s affair, he had more say in their transactional rtionship.


    "Skr, I told you before. You are the president of apany. You should take the long view. Don''t


    prioritize feelings, it''s all temporary."


    At that moment, Anthony still tried to convince Skr.


    Skr sat on his desk and looked at Anthony with his head tilted, "I''m not going to marry her."


    His expression was full of certainty.


    "Skr, don''t be reckless. Even when Skyton Corporation would remain standing and you would not


    starve, but when changes befell the Hond family, you would have toy off employees. They have


    their responsibilities to cater to. They have houses and car loans, living expenses and so on. You can''t


    cast them aside because of your wayward behavior!"


    In fact, Skr admitted that what Anthony said was right.


    If Grandmother Hond really passed away, stocks market would plummet, other incidents would arise


    too. There must be otherpanies eyeing them amid themotion. If Skr had a strong backer,


    he could stabilize hispany, but if not...


    A lot of things would be thrown into the unknown.


    "Except for marriage, I can consider anything else." Skr looked at Anthony, "However, don''t expect


    me to give in on this matter."


    Anthony did not expect Skr to be so stubborn.


    "President Hond, your coffee."


    Valerie pushed the door open and walked in. She put a cup of coffee on the table. Sensing that the


    atmosphere was awkward, she left without saying anything more.


    Skr took a sip of the coffee and found that it had gone cold...


    It''s not freshly brewed.


    Skr''s guess was right. In fact, Valerie was going to send coffee when Skr first came in.


    Unexpectedly, she overheard the conversation between Skr and Anthony. Thus, she did note


    in.


    Seeing Valeriee out of the office, Evelyn, who was outside, said sarcastically, "I thought you were


    very capable, but now it seems that you''re just so-so."


    "You''re just a mistress. How dare youpare yourself to me?"


    Valerie looked at Evelyn and retorted.


    "Oh, if I remember correctly, President Hond hasn''t divorced his wife yet."


    Evelyn and Valerie had not been on good terms ever since they met.


    "So what?" Valerie refuted, "There''s nothing that I can''t get. Brother Skr only lost his judgement for


    now, he will soone back to me."


    Valerie had been popr since she was a child. She was good at pretending, and she knew how to


    tackle other people''s preferences.


    She was lost a few days ago. However, she managed to deceive Jasper into hating Coralie and make


    him fell irredeemably in love with her, Valerie regained her confidence.


    Evelyn looked at her, "You''re not doing this out of a fit of pique, are you?"


    Evelyn and Valerie were pr opposite. Evelyn came from a destitute family so she only valued money.


    "I''ve loved him for more than ten years. Why should I let others take him away?"


    In Valerie''s point of view, Skr was her man. Just like her dolls, he was destined to be hers. She could


    discard him, but others should never take him away!


    "I don''t understand rich people like you."


    Evelyn sat in her seat and said as she touched up her makeup.


    Soon, Skr came out from the president''s office. He nced at Valerie and left without saying


    anything.


    Anthony was helping him run thepany. Skr was not worried about it.


    Seeing Skr leave, Valerie knew that he must be going to see Coralie.


    Her eyes shed with anger. She took out her mobile phone from her bag and rushed to the bathroom.


    When the door was locked, she made a phone call. She began to shout minutes after the line was


    connected, "Your people are unreliable! He didn''t manage to take pictures and even got caught!


    They''re useless!"


    The person on the other end of the line did not get angry listening to her reproach. Instead, the person

    waited for Valerie to finish her words before saying in broken English, "Miss Rae, at least we''re working


    on it. You haven''t given us what you promised at all."


    Hearing that, Valerie''s hand, which was holding her mobile phone, was trembling. She gritted her teeth


    and said, "Why are you in such a hurry! I''ve only been in thepany for less than a year. How would


    the Hond group give such an important information to me?"
