Chapter 290


    "Okay," Coralie replied.


    She was freezing now but there wasn''t any indication of grievances on her face. She followed Jayson


    and entered the Skyton Corporation building once again.


    Jayson was silent along the way.


    He was only here to lead her the way.


    At this time, there was not a single soul in Skyton Corporation. The whole building was surprisingly


    quiet, with only the clinking of Jayson and Coralie''s footsteps.


    Coralie followed him to the top floor of Skyton Corporation.


    When the elevator door opened, she was greeted with the unchanged top floor.


    When Jayson led Coralie to the president''s office, she felt that her heart almost stopped beating; she


    was almost winded. However, she couldn''t help but quicken her pace.


    They entered the president''s office together. Jayson followed her and spoke to the figure behind the


    table, "President Hond, Miss Chariott is here."


    Coralie''s eyes were fixed on Skr, who was sitting on the chair. His face did not change much, but he


    was a little thinner than thest time they met.


    "Sky... President Hond."


    Coralie had almost called him Skr, but she swallowed it halfway.


    Skr was originally looking at theputer screen, but when he heard Coralie call him, he pulled his


    dark eyes away from theputer and settled his eyes on Coralie.


    She had been standing in the cold rain for too long. Although it was warm in the president''s office, there


    was still a thinyer of frost on her windbreaker. Her body was enshrouded in ayer of mist.


    "When Jayson sent you backst time, he forgot to take back Grandma''s emerald bracelet from you.


    Since you''re here, take it off and put it here."


    Skr stared at Coralie with an unreadable expression for a long time before he spoke to her.


    However, his words were as sharp as a knife, piercing into Coralie''s heart.


    She had imagined what Skr would tell her when they met, but this sentence was not in all the


    possibilities she had ever contemted.


    "Why?"


    Coralie watched Skr, her face nk.


    Back then, Grandmother Hond bequeathed the emerald bracelet to Coralie who was her


    granddaughter-inw. However, Skr was now going to take it back. He was being mercilessly clear


    with his intention.


    "I think Jayson had explicitly passed my words to you. Do you want me to repeat them?"


    Skr looked at Coralie with his impassive ck eyes. That icy gaze could even quash the cold rain


    and chilly wind outside.


    "Then please do."


    Coralie said directly.


    It seemed that Skr hadn''t expected such a reply from Coralie and was slightly rattled. Then, he


    looked up at Coralie and said, "Coralie, I have already divorced you. If you have any objection to the


    amount of pension, you can speak to Jayson about it. We won''t have anything to do with each other


    anymore."


    "We won''t have anything to do with each other anymore?"


    Coralie repeated his cruelest sentence, word by word.


    "Yes."


    Skr nodded.


    "Skr, tell me the real reason. I don''t want to listen to your decision. I want the reason."


    Coralie was incredulous. He was not like this thest time she saw him. At that time, he had clearly


    expressed his love for her, so why...


    How could a person transform into a different character in a heartbeat?


    She didn''t believe it!


    "It''s because I don''t love you anymore," Skr replied inly.


    "You''re lying! You can''t suddenly toss away your love for someone!"


    Coralie could not ept this fact at all.


    It was harder to ept this reason.


    "Coralie, I think you seem to overestimate yourself." Skr looked at her with his eyes spilling


    contempt. He said sarcastically, "I am the President of Skyton Corporation. I have plenty of women


    circling around me. Why must I be fixated on you? You faked your death, deceived me for three years,


    and left me for another year. Those were four long years. Do you still expect me to be loyal to you?"


    "But..." She wanted to exin.


    "If that''s not enough, you were with Yohan for thest year. Don''t tell me nothing happened between


    you and him. Why should I be obsessed with you?" Skr added.


    "Nothing happened between Yohan and me. Really! Trust me!" Coralie screamed.


    "So what?" Skr looked at Coralie and said in exasperation, "I still have work to do. If there''s nothing


    else, leave the bracelet and go."


    "Then why did you save me that day?"


    Coralie was imcable!


    How could she be willing to ept that!


    That day, Skr had risked his life to save her. He was so worried and concerned about her, but in the


    blink of an eye, he became like this?


    "Based on our past rtionship." After saying that, Skr added, "If I knew that I would fall after I


    saved you that day, I would have rather not save you."


    "Past rtionship..." Coralie murmured. She smiled bitterly and began to slip the bracelet off her hand.


    This time, the bracelet felt so tight that it couldn''t be taken off no matter how hard she tried.


    Skr saw that she couldn''t take it out, so he waved to Jayson beside him and said, "Jayson, help


    her."


    Jayson was standing at the door. He came over after Skr''s order and helped Coralie to take off the


    bracelet.


    However, the bracelet was still firmly fastened to Coralie''s wrist.


    "If you can''t take it off, break it."


    Skr sat there and irritation rippled across him when he saw that neither of them could remove the


    bracelet.


    "Then you do it," Coralie said and walked to Skr.


    She had been wondering why Skr had been sitting behind the table and wouldn''t let her see him.


    Maybe Skr had broken his legs like Valerie did, or he might have problems in his body.


    When Coralie walked over and stretched her hand in front of Skr, she kept focusing her eyes on him.


    At a nce, there was no problem with his body...


    Skr lifted his hand off the keyboard, gripped Coralie''s wrist with one hand and the bracelet with the


    other.


    When Skr grabbed her hand, Coralie felt a surge of warmth from it. She suddenly leaned down


    boldly and kissed Skr''s lips, trying to please him.


    She wanted to see if Skr was really like what he imed to be...


    Both of them stayed unmoving for two or three seconds. After that, Skr immediately pushed her and


    eximed, "Get out of here!"


    Although Skr pushed her away, Coralie had clearly felt that Skr was clenching her hand tightly at


    the moment she kissed him. He responded before he refused her.


    "Skr, you haven''t forgotten me. You still love me. You''re lying to yourself," Coralie said.


    "Oh, Coralie, you gave yourself too much credit. I have always thought that you were different from


    RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    others. Now it seems that you are just so-so. You are willing to do anything for the title of Mrs. Hond."


    Skr pulled open the drawer, took out a handkerchief, and wiped harshly at his lips. Then, he threw


    the handkerchief mercilessly into the trash can.


    His eyes were brimming with scorn.


    "You''re right, I''m willing to do anything for Mrs. Hond''s title." Coralie nodded and added, "Unless you


    make me believe that you don''t have feelings for me anymore."
