Chapter 224
Coralie had no choice but to turn her head at her, but she still kept her head low.
Xenia Lowell''s grandfather was less adamant. He only said, "It''s okay. Do you prefer cash or bank
transfer?"
"I want cash!"
As soon as Coralie heard this, she answered immediately.
However, at this time, Xenia saw her. She looked at Coralie and said incredulously, "You look like a
friend of mine... You guys are two peas in a pod, and she also had a bracelet."
Xenia lowered her head to look closely at Coralie. The more she looked at her, the more she found that
this woman in front of her, was Coralie in actuality!
"Coralie! You''re Coralie, aren''t you? You''re not dead? You''re alive?"
Xenia scrutinized Coralie thoroughly. Based on what she said just now, and this emerald bracelet...
She had no doubt that the woman was Coralie!
Coralie was recognized by Xenia. If it was on another asion, she would definitely walk away in an
instant, but now she had to stay if she wanted to sell the bracelet to Xenia''s grandfather.
"I''m sorry, I''m not dead."
Coralie said as she lifted her head helplessly.
When the boss saw that Coralie actually knew Xenia, he quickly ttered her and asked, "Would you

people like to talk inside?"
As he spoke, he opened the door of the pawnshop and let the three of them in.
The reception room in the pawnshop was rather unique.
There were ss cabs on all four walls of the reception room, and various things were disyed
inside them.
When Xenia''s grandfather was checking out those things, Xenia pulled Coralie and asked her, "At that
time, I saw that youmitted suicide on TV. I found it hard to believe. I was right..."
"Well, I had no choice."
Coralie said, embarrassed.
"What''s wrong with you? Aren''t you Skr''s wife? Do you know? In the past two years, Skyton
Corporation has been reaching for the sky. He''s even more powerful than he used to be. Why can''t you
ask him for help? Why are you pawning your bracelet?"
In the past two years in A city, Xenia, as the granddaughter of the Lowell family, knew about these
things. She watched as Skyton Corporation fell apart and then it was faring better again, until it
achieved its sess today.
However, Coralie didn''t know any of these.
"I can''t go to him and I don''t know how to face him."
Other than not knowing how to face him, she also felt sorry for the ten-foldpensation.
However, in order to deceive Yohan, she had had no choice but to lie to him and to everyone else. Now
that Hendric had leukaemia, Coralie did not know whether Skr would forgive her if she went to see
him in this way.
"That''s true... In fact, Skyton Corporation has been developing very well recently. Now the Inte says
that he is engaged to Sabe Jakeman, the daughter of the head of the Commercial Union. They show
up together on many public asions."
Xenia said as she took out her mobile phone and searched the news for Coralie.
She thrived on the Inte. She literally looked at her mobile phone all the time.
Xenia showed Coralie the photos of Skr and Sabe on her mobile phone. Coralie looked at the
photo, at the clear image of Skr on the screen.
They hadn''t seen each other for more than two years, but Skr was still the same. He was still
handsome and mature.
She couldn''t help reaching out her fingers to touch the man in the photo, and her heart ached.
Coralie had always thought that as long as she had Hendric beside her, nothing else would matter. As
long as Skr was fine, she would be content.
However, when she saw Skr''s photo and saw him standing next to another woman, she still couldn''t
help but feel crestfallen. The pain was more than she could bear.
Despite this, Coralie still said, "As long as he is fine, it''ll all be good."
He was doing well, and everything she had done was worth it.
"Ah, you, why are you pretending to be dead? Now, if you are in need of money, just tell me. I will help
you. I mean, I don''t have anything else but money."
Xenia was rich and generous. She held Coralie''s arm as she approached her and asked, "Tell me, why
did you pretend to be dead? Why are you short of money now?"
Coralie looked at Xenia and felt that she could no longer hide the fact that she wanted to sell the
bracelet. "Actually, I gave birth to a child after I went missing. He fell ill when he was a little older than a
year old."
"What''s the disease?" Xenia asked.
"Leukaemia."
After listening to this answer, not only Xenia, but the boss of the pawnshop and Xenia''s grandfather
were all staring at her.
They showed sympathy in their eyes.
"Why did he get this disease at such an age? Where is your child? Is he in the hospital next to this
ce? Will he be fine? Why don''t we transfer him to another hospital?"
Hearing this, Xenia felt utmost sympathy for Coralie.
"I guess he''ll be fine."
Coralie was not sure, but she was too embarrassed to make a fuss for Xenia. After all, it was her own
business.
"Grandpa, don''t you know an expert in this field? Could you ask one to take a look at Coralie''s child?"
Xenia was overjoyed to know that Coralie was not dead.
Xenia''s grandfather looked at Coralie and asked her, "You are Skyton Corporation''s owner, Skr''s ex-
wife, aren''t you?"
"Yes."
Coralie nodded.
"So you were also engaged to Mr. Leonardo of the Watson Group, weren''t you?"
Hearing Xenia grandfather''s question, Coralie nodded shamefully. "Yes."
Xenia, who was listening, was stunned. She eximed, "Wow, Coralie you are impressive! Watson
Group and Skyton Corporation are literally the two biggest groups in A city now."
"Uhm, what happened that year..." Coralie said faintly.
Seeing that Coralie didn''t want to say it, Xenia''s grandfather responded, "I know something about your
past. The bracelet was given to you by the Mistress of the Hond family when she was alive, right?"
Although A City was big, the upper ss of the society was rather small. The rumors of love and hatred
between Coralie, Yohan, and Skr had long been heard. For the past two years, Skyton Corporation
and Watson Group had been each other''s enemies .
However, he also admired Coralie''s wit to be able toe up with her fake death as a solution.
"Yes."
Coralie admitted.
"Grandpa, you know it? Tell me."
Xenia was very curious about what had happened, she wanted to know why Coralie would pretend to
be dead.
"It''s not good to know too much." Xenia''s grandfather scolded her with a serious face and then said to
Coralie, "How about you give this bracelet to me for my auction? I''ll get an expert to treat your child,
and I''ll pay all the medical expenses. What do you think?"
After Xenia''s grandfather confirmed Coralie''s identity and the origin of the bracelet, he could ept it
with ease.
Because of its extraordinary value, it was absolutely more than enough to cure Coralie''s child.
"Yes, yes!"
Coralie nodded repeatedly.
As long as she could cure Hendric''s illness, she was willing to do anything.
......
Xenia''s grandfather found an expert. The doctor took a ne to A City and checked Hendric''s illness.
After that, the doctor not only proposed a treatment n, but also called Coralie to the outside of the
ward and asked, "Is his father still alive?"
Initially, Coralie was nning to make up a lie again, but when she thought that the doctor might need it
for some important information, she replied, "Yes."
"For Leukaemia, there is a possibility of rpsing even if the child has received a new bone marrow,
and it will affect his life, but if you can have another baby with the child''s father and give birth to the
baby before the patient is three years old, the baby''s cord blood can be used to treat the disease. The
child''s illness may be cured in this way."
The doctor exined to Coralie.
