Chapter 192


    Skr was slightly sober when he said that, Coralie immediately teared.


    She thought Skr would say that she would not be with him if he had no money.


    Or asking her to leave as he was poor.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay. I am all right with anything."


    Coralie half-knelt on the ground, stroking Skr''s fringe with her hands. Looking at his haggard and


    drunken look, she felt extremely distressed.


    "Believe me."


    Skr looked a little like a child when he was drunk. He held Coralie in his arms, her hair gently rubbed


    against his ear.


    "Alright, goy on the bed. I''ll make you a hangover soup."


    Coralie patted his back like she was coaxing a child.


    "Okay."


    Skr got up and gargled.


    Coralie held him as they went to the second floor.


    After she helped Skr get changed, she was about to leave and make the hangover soup. However,


    he pulled her to his side and said, "Stay with me for a while."


    "I''m going to..."


    "Just a while."


    Coralie was in Skr''s arms. She dared not to move.


    After a while, Skr turned over and pressed Coralie under his body. His lips smelled like alcohol, he


    was trying to take off her clothes. He murmured, "Give me."


    "Um... Okay."


    Coralie flushed when kissed.


    As he was drunk, his strength was greater. He didn''t show anypassion at all, very overbearing.


    Moreover, he pressed himself on Coralie''s body. Coralie could not move at all, letting him go down on


    her.


    Coralie did not resist. She did not know if Skr had been under too much pressure recently. If he


    could only vent it that way, she was willing to bear it.


    ......


    On the next day, it was already ten o''clock in the morning when he woke up. Skr gave Coralie a


    taste of his drunkenness the night before.


    Coralie took a leave to keep himpany.


    However, Skr looked at the time and the countless missed calls. He was about to go out after he


    was dressed, but he came back and sat down on the sofa in a daze.


    "Aren''t you going?"


    Coralie thought he was going out, so she was also ready to leave.


    But she found Skr sitting in the living room.


    "I''ll stay for a while. You can go first."


    Skr sat there and didn''t move.


    Coralie put down her bag and made a cup of coffee for him, "You''re so smart. Everything will be fine."


    Skr was just sitting there, without speaking.


    After a long time, he unlocked his phone again and began calling back.


    Coralie was relieved to see him like that. She opened the door and was ready to go to work.


    "Madam."


    When she stepped out, she saw Jayson standing at the door.


    "Assistant Lowell."


    Coralie said hello to Jayson. She was about to walk out, but she turned back and asked him, "Could


    you tell me about the situation at Skyton Corporation?"


    If there was someone else knew about the situation at Skyton Corporation and was willing to exin it


    to her, it must be Jayson.


    Jayson knew how important Skr was to Coralie, so he didn''t hide it from her. He said frankly, "It


    could be said that Skyton Corporation is in a critical situation. We lost the bid, and the procedures for a


    loan from the bank is very troublesome. It will be difficult to be approved in such a short time."


    "Is there no other way?"


    "Yes. We could use some investment from otherpanies, but with everything happening in Hond


    group and Skyton Corporation''s current situation in A city right now, it''s almost impossible to get an


    investment unless from thosepanies had a good rtionship with."


    Jayson also looked distressed, "This may be the biggest crisis in Skyton Corporation''s history. If it''s not


    handled well, it''s very likely that..."


    Jayson didn''t mention the word ''closed down''.


    "That means it''ll do as long as someone is willing to invest, right?"


    "Logically, yes."


    Hearing what Jayson said, Houston was the first person who came to Coralie''s mind.


    The Zac family was wealthy. If he was willing to help Skyton Corporation, Skr would definitely pull


    through!


    ......


    When Coralie was working during the day, she kept thinking of a way to meet Houston.


    Previously, she did not get Houston''s number.


    Moreover, as the head of the Zac family, it was impossible to see him as she wished.


    Lisa happened to be beside her desk when she saw Coralie spacing out. She asked kindly, "What''s


    wrong? Are you worried for your husband now that there''s something wrong with hispany?"


    "Lisa."


    When Coralie saw Lisa, she immediately came out of her trance.


    "It''s alright. There is no smooth sailings forpany forever. However, Hond group is currently


    trapped in a storm. Your husband once had a rumor about the smuggling incident. Although it had been


    cleared, everyone still retained a degree of doubt on it. That''s why."


    Although it was an ounting agency, they still had some knowledge of the situation of eachpany.


    Listening to Lisa''s analysis, Coralie suddenly asked, "Lisa, could you possibly get someone from the


    branch office in B City to ask for Mr. President Houston''s phone number?"


    "What are you doing? Are you going to sacrifice yourself just to save your husband?"


    "No, Lisa, please help me. I have no other way to help him now. This is my only bet."


    In fact, Coralie didn''t know if Houston would help her.


    They were father and daughter, but their rtionship was best kept under the table. After all, she was a


    illegitimate daughter.


    Anthony once said that interest was a businessman''s priority.


    Although she trusted Skr, Houston had no reason to believe in Skr. What if his money went to


    waste?


    Seeing Coralie make up her mind, Lisa had no choice but to say, "Fine. I''ll get it for you, but don''t do


    anything stupid."


    Lisa didn''t know Coralie and Houston were father and daughter. She thought Coralie was going to offer


    herself to Houston in order to save Skr.


    Lisa made a phone call on the spot and asked the office in B City for Houston''s phone number.


    After telling Coralie the number, she urged her, "Call him now. This is not Houston''s private number.


    You won''t be able to reach him after 5pm."


    "Okay. Thank you, Lisa."


    Coralie looked at the phone, she did not call immediately. Instead, she thought about what to say.


    After all, based on her rtionship with Houston, it would be rude to speak rashly.


    Coralie rephrased for a long time before she dialed the phone.


    As soon as the phone was connected, Coralie immediately introduced herself, "Hello, this is Coralie."


    Coralie honestly didn''t know how to address Houston. Should she call him father? It would seem like


    she was deliberately trying to curry favor with him, but it was also not suitable to call him Uncle Zac


    either.

    There was no other way. In the end, she could only say ''Hello''.


    After she introduced herself, the person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before he


    said, "Why do you want to speak to my father?"


    Coralie immediately recognized Jasper''s voice.


    "I..."


    "My dad told you that you''re his illegitimate daughter, didn''t he?"


    "Yes."


    Coralie knew that Jasper hated her the most.


    However, unexpectedly, Jasper was the one who answered the phone.
