Chapter 187


    The next day.


    When Coralie woke up in a daze, it was already the next morning.


    She sat on the sofa and looked around quietly. It was not until then that she recalled that she fell asleep


    on the previous night while she was waiting for Skr.


    Looking at her room, it seemed that Skr still hadn''t shown up.


    After Coralie washed up and put on a light makeup, she left the room.

    Instead of worrying that there was something between Skr and Valerie, she was more concerned


    about what happened to Skr.


    As she had been working overtime, Coralie was having a day off from work that day. She held the


    phone and decided to call Harvey.


    After all, Harvey was in a hospital designated by the Hond family. If Skr was hospitalized because


    of an ident, he would definitely be there.


    The phone rang for a long time before Harvey answered.


    "Dr. Felton, is Skr with you?"


    When the phone was connected, Coralie asked first.


    On the other end of the line, Harvey was silent for a long time before he replied, "Yes, you shoulde


    here."


    "Come?"


    "Yes,e to the hospital."


    Coralie could hear that Harvey''s voice was a little heavy. She then supposed that something must have


    happened!


    Did Skr get into a car ident on the previous day?


    Coralie hung up the phone and hastened all the way. As it was peak hour, she could not hail a taxi.


    Moreover, she was still some distance away from the nearest subway station. Coralie had no choice


    but to run to the nearest subway station as fast as possible.


    After two stations, she arrived at Harvey''s hospital.


    Outside the hospital, the bodyguards in ck were standing in several lines, barricading the hospital.


    "You can''t go in."


    Coralie did not care about them. Just when she was about to run inside, she was stopped by the


    bodyguards.


    "I''m looking for someone."


    "Even so, you can''t go in."


    When the bodyguards were stopping her, Harvey came out and told some of the bodyguards, "She is


    President Hond''s wife."


    Hearing what Harvey said, two bodyguards stepped aside.


    When Coralie entered the hospital, she followed Harvey and asked nervously, "Did anything happen to


    Skr?"


    She knew that Skr would never stand people up for no reason.


    "Let''s go in first."


    Harvey didn''t say much.


    As Coralie followed Harvey along the way, she saw that the corridor was hushed and empty while


    Skr was sitting on a long chair in the hospital. He was facing down, like he was in a lot of pain.


    However, when Coralie saw that Skr was fine, she finally felt at ease.


    Just as she was about to walk over, Harvey suddenly pulled her sleeve and said, "At 5:32 a.m. in the


    morning, Grandmother Hond passed away."


    "What?"


    Coralie was stunned. Although she knew that Grandmother Hond had liver cancer, she did not


    expect it to be that soon...


    It was only about ten days since thest time they met... Why would she suddenly...


    Coralie walked over to Skr and crouched down in front of him. Seeing he was depressed, thinking


    that she had even suspected him being with Valerie on the previous day...


    She felt she was unreasonable.


    "Skr, I''m sorry I''mte. I didn''t know..."


    Coralie held Skr''s hand, trying to think of some words tofort him.


    She knew that Grandmother Hond had doted on Skr since he was a child. He was even closer


    with Grandmother Hond than Anthony or Lillian.


    Now that Grandmother Hond passed away, he must be the most sorrowful person.


    "I broke my promise yesterday."


    Skr looked up at Coralie in front of him and apologized.


    On the previous day, when he received a call from the servant at Grandmother Hond''s house, he


    rushed to the hospital. When he came out of his trance, he realized he had left his phone at the


    "It''s okay, I..."


    Coralie didn''t know what to say at that moment.


    Skr had always been so strong. It was the first time she saw him in such a state of despair. Coralie


    felt sorry for him and was clueless, didn''t know what to do.


    ......


    Coralie apanied Skr in the hospital for a day. In the afternoon, Lilian came alone as Elsa,


    Queenie, and Anthony were not in the country and couldn''t get there in a short time.


    It could be said that Grandmother Hond''s funeral was magnificent. Coralie attended the funeral as


    Grandmother Hond''s granddaughter-inw.


    At the funeral, everyone consoled and gave each other support.


    It could be said that it was one of the rare asions where everyone in the Hond family got along


    peacefully.


    However, that peacefulness felt more like the calm before a storm.


    Everyone was having evil intentions.


    They were guessing if Grandmother Hond had made her will before she died. Most of them did not


    know that Grandmother Hond was in thete stage of liver cancer, they thought she passed away


    suddenly.


    After all, Grandmother Hond was an elderly, it was very likely that she had made a will.


    On the tenth day after the death of Grandmother Hond, which was also the third day after the funeral,


    awyer responsible for Grandmother Hond''s will contacted everyone who had a part in it.


    To everyone''s surprise, Coralie was also notified.


    When Coralie received the notice, she thought everyone would have attended, but when she entered


    the conference room, there were only Elsa, Queenie, Anthony, Skr, and herself.


    Skr was the only grandson of the Hond family. It made sense for him to be there, but she was...


    "Why is Coralie here?" Elsa was not happy to see Coralie there, "Isn''t this the Hond family''s affairs?


    How could an outsider like her step her foot in here?"


    "She''s Skr''s wife, isn''t she?"


    Queenie was thinking that way.


    "So what? Weren''t our daughters left out too? Is granddaughter-inw more important than


    granddaughters?"


    Elsa was very discontented.


    Coralie felt bad too. She poked Skr, "Skr, why don''t I wait for you outside?"


    "Miss Chariott, I''ve called out people who are involved in the will, there is no need to withdraw


    yourself."


    Thewyer spoke up when he saw that Coralie wanted to leave.


    What he said blew Elsa up!


    She mmed the table, "What do you mean? She''s named in the will? What does that mean!"


    They were covetous of Grandmother Hond''s inheritance. They were already dissatisfied with the fact


    that they had to share amongst themselves, how could Coralie share it too?


    "It''s Grandmother Hond''s decision. I''m only responsible for disposing it."


    Thewyer exined.


    "But..."


    "That''s enough! Let''s listen to what thewyer has to say!"


    "Coralie is your family, of course you would say so!"


    Elsa showed that she was the most frustrated person with the arrangement.


    "Then you should just continue making a fuss here. Why don''t you ask mother toe back and


    change her will?"


    Elsa immediately became quiet when she heard what Anthony said.


    Indeed, Grandmother Hond had passed away, her will was also set in stone already.


    Coralie sat there, taking in the hostility from the several people in the Hond family as they rolled their


    eyes. She could only hide behind Skr.


    Thewyer soon began to read out the inheritance distribution, and most of it was almost the same as


    what everyone had guessed.


    Coralie only received five percent of Hond Group''s shares.


    Although no one seemed to protest, as soon as it was over, Elsa''s anger finally erupted. She walked


    over and grabbed Coralie''s cloth, "Coralie, what kind of ck magic did you use on my mother? How


    could she give you five percent of the stock? Yeah, five percent of the stock is not much, but who are


    you to have it?
