Chapter 208


    "Coralie, this child is a schemer. He''s different from all of you."


    Hera didn''t know how to tell Coralie.


    "Mom, how could he possibly like me? I''m poor. I have nothing to offer him."


    From Coralie''s point of view, Hera''s worries were unwarranted.


    "That''s right. She has Brother Skr; she won''t like him either."


    Wayne said, as he took a set of clean clothes and was ready to take a bath.


    When she heard ''Brother Skr'', Coralie''s eyes darkened. She was racking her brain to figure out a


    way to tell her mother and brother about her divorce with Skr.


    And that she was about to marry someone else.


    Most importantly, she was pregnant.


    "Ugh."


    Coralie was standing there when she retched. She rushed into the bathroom before Wayne did, but she


    nothing came out. She then rinsed her mouth and left the bathroom.


    "Are you pregnant?"


    Hera had been through this before hence she knew what Coralie was experiencing at a nce.

    "Mom, I''m not... I just have a bad appetite these days."


    "You''re still lying to me?"


    Hera didn''t believe what Coralie said. Even though there were a lot of sicknesses that would cause dry


    retching, it was the mostmon symptom in the first trimester of pregnancy.


    "Coralie, are you pregnant?"


    Hearing this, Wayne also came over.


    Coralie was silent for a while. After a tug of war in her mind, she still said, "I''m not! If I''m pregnant, why


    would I hide it from you guys? It''s something to celebrate about!"


    There were too many things that had befallen her. Her mother would certainly be unable to ept it, so


    Coralie chose not to reveal it for the time being.


    ......


    That night, when Coralie was still helping Hera with the house chores, her phone rang.


    Although it was an unknown number, she still decided to answer it.


    "Hello, is this Coralie?"


    As soon as the phone was connected, a man''s voice with a slight ent came from the other side.


    "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are..."


    Coralie thought for a moment. She didn''t seem to know this voice. The first thing she thought of was


    that it was a scam.


    "Hello, I am the security guard of Golden Town. Mr. Hond is drunk and seems to have fallen asleep


    at the door of his house. Your number is on his emergency contact list. Could you pleasee and


    take care of him?"


    After the guard finished speaking, Coralie remembered that she had to register the name of the owner


    and the emergency contact for the property at Golden Town annually. At that time, Coralie was still on


    good terms with Skr, so she left her contact.


    "Okay, I''ll go now."


    Coralie agreed without thinking.


    She originally thought that it would not be a breach of contract for her to leave after bringing Skr


    inside the house.


    Coralie went out after notifying Hera and Wayne. When she arrived at the door to Skr''s house, she


    saw that he was sitting on the floor, leaning against the door and appeared to have fallen asleep.


    Several security guards stood aside.


    "Sorry to trouble you."


    Coralie ran over and apologized. As she said it, she wanted to help Skr up, but because he was


    drunk, his whole body was weighing her down. With her petite body, it was impossible for Coralie to


    hold him up.


    "Let us do it. You open the door."


    Seeing Coralie like this, the security guards took the initiative to help Skr up.


    "I, I don''t have the fingerprint..."


    Coralie said awkwardly.


    In the end, they opened the door with Skr''s fingerprint. The security guards put Skr on the bed in


    the guest room on the first floor before leaving.


    Coralie sat beside him and breathed in the pungent smell of alcohol around him. She couldn''t imagine


    how much alcohol he had imbibed.


    "Skr, why can''t you take good care of yourself?"


    Coralie looked at him in his drunken state. She felt harrowed by it. In the past, Skr''s stomach was


    not very healthy. Obviously, thepany''s situation had improved, but he was still drinking.


    With his condition, how could she be assured that he would be alright if she left him alone in the


    future...


    "Skr, you must find someone to take good care of you. Only by then can I rest assured."


    She didn''t take off Skr''s clothes but only covered him with a quilt. Just as she got up and wanted to


    leave—


    Skr clutched her hand tightly.


    "Coralie, don''t go."


    His voice was hoarse, but Coralie still heard what he said.


    Skr wasn''t actually asleep just now. He wanted the security guard to call Coralie. He wanted to see if


    Coralie woulde.


    He wanted to see if this woman was really heartless.


    In the end, Coralie came, and she even said those words just now. He was convinced that Coralie must


    have her reasons.


    "Since you''re not asleep, I''m going to go first."


    Coralie could also see through his tricks at a nce.


    Skr was supposed to be drunk, but when Coralie was opening the door with Skr''s fingerprints just


    now, she clearly felt that he was holding her hand. At that time, Coralie felt that she was mistaken, but


    now she realized that Skr was not drunk at all.


    "Don''t leave. Tell me what happened."


    Skr grabbed Coralie and dragged her into the room.


    After all, a man had a better strengthpared to a woman. Coralie knew that she would not be able


    to break free, so she sat on the bed. However, she hid the heartache she felt. Instead, she said, "I don''t


    know what you''re talking about."


    "Did someone force you to do this? You didn''t agree to the divorce at first, why did you agree so


    decisively all of a sudden?"


    Skr had doubts about Coralie''s decision to divorce him.


    However at that time, Skyton Corporation was in a critical state. He couldn''t worry too much about it.


    Now that Skyton Corporation''s situation was getting better, he had the time to figure it out.


    He was grabbing Coralie''s wrist. At this time, other than bitterness, what was bothering her was her


    nerves. She was afraid that she would retch at this time. If Skr knew that she was pregnant...


    She looked at Skr, bit her lip and said, "Skr, don''t think too highly of yourself. Now I am with


    someone richer and more handsome than you. Why should I be entangled with a half-dead president of


    a smallpany like you?"


    "Half-dead president of a smallpany?"


    Skr stared at Coralie with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart from her eyes to


    gauge if she was lying.


    Coralie was flustered, but she pretended to be calm. "Yes, you cannotpare to him at all. Look at


    me, of course I have to get married to someone better. After all, even if you''re special, there''re still


    plenty more fishes in the sea."


    After she said that, she felt his grip on her wrist loosen.


    It seemed that Skr didn''t expect Coralie to say such a thing. This was not the Coralie he knew at all.


    Coralie looked at him as he was in shock. Looking at the man''s expression, she continued amid her


    heartbreak, "Are you wondering why I am like this? How did I be like this? Actually, I have always


    been like this. You''re right that day, I was good at acting." She paused and said, "And, you''re stupid."


    Coralie brought forth her best acting skills at this moment.


    When she finished saying that, Skr''s hand hadpletely let go of her. Coralie pulled back her hand


    and turned her head to leave. However, her tears were already falling from her eyes.


    She knew that she and Skr were over. They werepletely done.
