Chapter 186


    "Coralie is taking a bath. Why don''t I ask her to call you back after she''s done?"


    Lisa knew that Skr definitely would not know who she was, but she still unconsciously talked in a


    polite manner.


    "Shower? All right."


    When Skr hung up the phone, Coralie came out of the bathroom. Lisa sat on the bed and took off


    her mask. She asked seriously, "Coralie, who are you really?"


    In that afternoon, when Houston saw Coralie and wanted to treat her to dinner, Lisa was already


    puzzled.


    Now, the CEO of Skyton Corporation, Skr, actually called Coralie personally?


    "Me? Oh, you mean because President Zac brought me for dinner today, right? s, it''s my fault that I


    look like someone he used to know, I reminded him of her.


    Coralie wanted to tell her briefly.


    After all, it was impossible for her to tell Lisa that she looked like Houston''s old sweetheart, and it was


    even more impossible for her to say that she was Houston''s illegitimate daughter.


    "Just that simple?"


    "Really!"


    Coralie looked serious.


    Lisa picked up her phone and held it in front of Coralie, "Then exin this to me. In the middle of the


    night, why would the CEO of Skyton Corporation, Skr Hond, call you?"


    Lisa was in her early forties that year and had always been single. She would say that she sacrificed


    her love for work, but the actual reason was that as she got to that position, she wasn''t attracted to


    average men anymore, but sessful men didn''t like her.


    For a man to call at that hour?


    She had never encountered something like that.


    "He..." Coralie felt that it was really hard to lie at that point, so she simply told the truth, "He is my


    husband."


    "What?"


    Lisa was stunned at first, but soon she came out of her trance and realized what Coralie had said.


    "Lisa, I''ll call back first."


    Coralie was really afraid that Lisa would bombard her with questions. Moreover, if Skr called at that


    hour, he must have something important, so she just took her phone and went to the corridor.


    As soon as she called, Skr asked, "Just now, I received an anonymous email which contained a


    video of you and Houston."


    As a man, Skr would not beat around the bush. He would say whatever he wanted.


    "It must be from Corrine, right? I knew there was nothing good meeting her."


    Coralieined about her first.


    "I don''t know about that. I just want to know if you and Houston knew each other before. Why are you


    so close?"


    Although B City and A City was so far away, Coralie could still smell jealousy.


    She giggled yfully and tried to keep him guessing, "Jealous? Are you jealous of an old man?"


    "That old man is not the main issue here."

    "Alright, it''s just a joke. It was because he said that he is my father."


    Hearing Skr''s nervous voice, Coralie didn''t want to continue breaking a jest.


    "Father?"


    "Yeah, I was also surprised. He said that I was a child with another woman named Madison Carter. My


    biological mother died duringbour. Apparently, my mother was the best friend of my biological


    mother''s."


    "Then what did you say?"


    "Of course I chose my current life. He only thought of looking for me now that I''ve grown up, if I went


    with him, my mother would die of anger. Besides, if I go with him, I''m going to be just an illegitimate


    daughter. I won''t be treated well there."


    Coralie was thinking that she was already miserable enough in the Hond family. If she went to the


    Zac family, wouldn''t the misery be kicked up a notch?


    "That''s good."


    Although it was the most unexpected result, it put Skr''s mind to rest. After all, Coralie had nothing to


    do with other men.


    "I''m going back the day after tomorrow, let''s spend New Year''s eve together, okay?"


    Coralie acted coquettishly.


    Recently, she had not spent much time with Skr. On such a special day as December 31st, she


    wanted to spend it with Skr.


    It meant that they would spend the night together on New Year''s eve.


    How could Skr not understand?


    "Okay, I''ll book the best ce to watch the fireworks for New Year. I''ll send you the addresster."


    ......


    On December 31st.


    Skr booked a presidential suite of the best hotel in A City.


    Coralie had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she went to the hotel early. When the staff member led


    her to the door of the room, Coralie realized that the whole floor had only one room...


    "Here?"


    Coralie looked at the only door on the whole floor, spacing out.


    "Yes."


    The staff member nodded.


    After opening the door for her, he handed the room card over to Coralie.


    After Coralie entered, she immediately ran to the balcony. On the huge balcony, there was a table.


    Skr was right. It might be the best ce in A city to watch the fireworks for New Year.


    On the bed next to her, there was a piece of very beautiful dress in champagne color. It was obvious


    that it was prepared for her.


    Coralie sat on the bed and sent a text message to Skr, "Skr, I''m already here. Take your time."


    Soon, she received a reply.


    "I have some work left to do. I''ll be there before dinner."


    "Okay."


    "If you are hungry, get something to eat first. I may arrive a littleter."


    "It''s okay. I''ll wait for you."


    After replying to his message, Coralie went to take a shower and then put on a beautiful makeup with


    the cosmetic she had brought.


    However, until eight o''clock at night, Skr did not appear yet.


    Coralie couldn''t wait any longer, so she sent a message to Skr.


    After more than ten minutes, the phone beeped again. Coralie thought it was a text from Skr, but


    when she looked at it, it was from Xenia.


    It was a screenshot from Valerie''s Facebook page.


    There was a photo on the screenshot. They were holding each other''s hands and their fingers


    interlocked. The finger, which looked like a woman''s, had a dazzlingly beautiful egg-shaped diamond


    ring on it.


    There was a caption for the photo, "I hope I''ll be with you on this day of every year."


    She didn''t know who that was for.


    Skr didn''t appear on time. With Xenia''s screenshot of Valerie''s Facebook page, Coralie was very


    confused.


    Soon, Xenia sent a message, "Valerie has a new boyfriend?"


    Coralie was not in the mood for texting back, she kept calling Skr on the phone. However, the


    system prompt kept returning her with the notification that no one was there to answer.


    "Is it true that Skr and Valerie are together?" She thought.


    Coralie stood in front of the bed and looked at her beautiful champagne dress. He obviously poured


    effort in that. Why wasn''t he there?


    Did something happen to his family?


    She waited until 12 o''clock at midnight.


    There were fireworks exploding, celebrating New Year. Coralie stood on the huge balcony, the best


    ce in A City, watching the fireworks. As she looked at the fireworks and the night scene, she felt a


    little miserable.


    Coralie stood there and called Skr again.


    That time, without waiting, the system immediately informed her that the phone had been turned off.


    After seeing the fireworks, Coralieid down on therge double bed alone, staring at the ceiling in a


    daze. The jade bracelet on her hand seemed a little blue and colder than usual.


    She didn''t know how long it took before she fell asleep.
