Chapter 231
When Skr heard what Jayson said, his expression became even worse. "You believe in such a
thing?"
"No," Jayson denied.
"When I went to the club yesterday, I knew the manager was obviously lying, but I don''t know who is
behind this," Skr said.
Skr would only believe in his own guess and judgment in this matter. He never gave others the
benefit of the doubt.
However, Jayson did not think so. "President Hond, even if Miss Chariott is still alive all these years,
and even if she''s powerful, she''ll never be able to manipte the manager into lying for her. That
manager is not an ordinary person."
Jayson''s analysis was reasonable, but Skr was unwilling to believe it.
He was holding on to his belief. The person on that day was Coralie, and Marian was lying.
While they were discussing, Sabe Jakeman stood at the door for a long time.
When she met Skr for the first time, she had decided to marry him. In order to marry him, Sabe
had investigated everything about Skr, whether it be Valerie Rae or Coralie Chariott.
She was positive that Skr loved Coralie.
In Sabe''s opinion, she would never be able to surpass a dead person, but she could try to imitate
Coralie.
Sabe listened to them for a long time at the door. Knowing that the two of them were in a stalemate,
she pushed the door open and entered. She looked at Skr and Jayson, then she smiled faintly and
said, "It seems that it''s not the right time for me toe. I''ll go out and wait for a while."
Skr looked at the time and found that it was not the time to get off work yet.
Sabe knew what he was thinking, so she exined, "The auction is far from here. I''m worried that
we''ll get caught in a traffic jam on the road, so I wanted to ask if you could leave earlier."
When Jayson saw Skr talking to Sabe, he put a stop to his words and silently left the office.
Skr remembered that he had promised to attend the auction with Sabe the previous day.
"Give me a moment," he said.
So far, his work today was almost done. He went to the changing room, switched into a more formal
coat, and then left with her.
Today, Sabe was wearing a beige dress with her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her outfit had

been adapted based off of Coralie''s preferences in the past.
......
Today, Coralie also came to the auction with Xenia Lowell.
Originally, she had had no intention toe here. After all, staying with Hendric was more important
than such activities. However, Xenia had been persuading her and said, "At least we should see who''s
going to get this today. If you regret it someday, you can also buy it back from the person, right?"
In the end, she dragged Coralie all the way here.
Coralie knew that with her financial ability, she would never be able to spend hundreds of thousands or
even millions of dors to get this bracelet back.
That would just be reaching for the sky.
The people who attended the auction were dressed formally. The men were in suits, and the women
were in dresses. Coralie was dragged away by Xenia from the hospital. Thus, she was only wearing an
ordinary coat and linen pants, but that made her even more conspicuous in the crowd.
"I''d better leave."
As soon as Coralie entered the auction hall, she regretted it.
She did not fit in with the crowd.
"It''s okay, it''s okay, let''s sit in thest row!"
Xenia pulled her to thest row.
The auction was held by the Lowell family, so they had their own entrance passes.
The two of them sat down. The usherette gave them a list of the items that would be auctioned tonight.
Coralie took a look at it. Although her emerald bracelet was one of a kind, it was very ordinary among
these auctioned items. It was arranged to the front of the list, as the third item. As the list stretched,
there were also some vases, valuable antiques, bronze statues, and so on, which looked luxurious at
first nce.
"What''s on the second floor?"
Coralie pointed to a smallpartment on the second floor and asked.
"It''s a VIP box generally for the rich people," Xenia exined. "Do you want to go and take a look? I''ll
ask if they''re upied. If we can get a seat there, we can go up too."
After all, she was the daughter of the Lowell family. She could go wherever her heart desired.
"No, you don''t need to do that. I''m just asking."
Coralie quickly waved her hand and refused.
They came early. In the beginning, the seats were all empty. After waiting for about half an hour, the
hall was packed.
Soon, the auction began.
After the auction of the first two items, it was the turn for Coralie''s emerald bracelet.
The deal price for the first two items were three hundred thousand and four hundred and fifty thousand
dors respectively. Coralie thought that her bracelet would be valued at around a million dors, if not
less.
Before the value of the emerald bracelet was announced, the host shed a photo of the bracelet on
the big screen and introduced it in detail. After the introduction, the host began the bid with a price at
one hundred thousand dors.
"One hundred thousand."
"Three hundred thousand."
Someone had offered three hundred thousand. Xenia and Coralie were sitting there. Coralie was very
nervous, hoping that the price would not be too high. In this way, it would be easier for her to reim it
if she really wanted to in the future.
The bids increased until it reached seven hundred thousand dors.
After confirming that no one was willing to raise the price again, the auctioneer began to shout, "Seven
hundred thousand, going once."
"Eight hundred thousand!"
As soon as the auctioneer dered it for the first time, someone offered eight hundred thousand
dors. The audience burst into an uproar. Coralie turned her head and found that it was Xenia who
offered the bid!
"Xenia! You don''t have to bid for it!"
Coralie was anxious. She didn''t expect that Xenia would buy her emerald bracelet.
"Hey, it''s okay. I''m notcking any money. When you have money in the future, you can just reim it
from me!"
Xenia stuck out her tongue and said to Coralie.
Listening to her words, Coralie was so grateful that no words could express her gratitude.
The auctioneer saw that someone offered eight hundred thousand dors and said, "Thisdy offered
eight hundred thousand. Is there any higher price?"
After repeated confirmation, the auctioneer began to shout, "Eight hundred thousand, going once."
"Eight hundred thousand, going twice."
When the auctioneer was at the second shout, Coralie felt that her heart was going to jump out of her
throat.
As long as the auctioneer sealed the deal, this bracelet would belong to Xenia.
However, at this moment.
"No.1 VIP, two million."
In the speaker, the bidder of the VIP room suddenly announced the price.
All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar again.
Everyone knew that although this bracelet was exquisite, it was definitely not worth two million dors!
Xenia leapt to her feet in surprise and looked up to see who was the No.1 VIP that actually offered two
million.
"Who on earth is it? What the hell! Who''s trying to take my stuff!"
Xenia didn''t know who offered the price. She originally wanted to get it for Coralie, but now she couldn''t
afford to pay two million dors.
The VIP private room was covered with a one-way mirror. The person sitting inside could see through
the mirror but the person outside couldn''t see who was inside the room. It served as privacy protection
for the VIP guests.
"Coralie, I''m sorry, I can''t afford it now." Xenia sat down, turned around, and wanted tofort Coralie
who was sitting next to her, but she found that the seat next to her was empty. Coralie had already
gotten up and left.
"Coralie!"
Xenia thought that Coralie was angry, so she quickly chased after her.
By the time she caught up with Coralie, she had already left the auction room. Xenia quickly said,
"Don''t be angry. Since the bracelet is sold at a high price, I''ll ask my grandfather to add up some
money for you."
Coralie shook her head and said, "There''s no need. The person who bought the bracelet must be
Skr."
At the moment when the speaker broadcasted that someone offered two million dors, Coralie knew
that that guy must be Skr.
