Chapter 333
Ten days after New Year''s Day, Howard was finally sentenced to life in prison for his crimes, such as
breaking into someone''s house and hurting people with a knife. It was also because he had escaped
for many years after the crime and during the time he was out, he hadmitted many other crimes.
After listening to the police''s exnation, Coralie realized the reason behind Howard''s actions, where
he had fled for five years, was despair.
He wouldn''t let Coralie live peacefully even if he went to jail.
Fortunately, he was sentenced to a lifetime in prison.
Coralie thought that the matter would be over once and for all.
Skr was going overseas in a few days to receive his treatment. Coralie had been packing his
luggage for the past few days.
Although she was forced to be on leave, she didn''t dare to tell Skr about it. She was afraid that he
would be worried about her.
After all, Skr had already used his power to suppress the critics of the colleagues in her office.
"Wifey, when Ie back, we''ll buy a new house. You can decide on the decoration style then."
Skr sat there, watching Coralie pack his things for him bit by bit.
"It''s pretty nice here."
"I had this house to live on my own. I didn''t n to live here after getting married."
Skr''s meaning was already very clear.
When he returned, they would tie the knot.
Skr had already hinted at her many times before. However, because of his leg injury, he definitely
wouldn''t mention their marriage at this time.
He had to wait until the operation was sessful.
"I''ll wait for you toe back." Coralie understood what he meant. She got up and took out a set of
dark blue indoor clothes from the wardrobe and asked, "Do you want to bring this along?"
"It''s up to you."
Skr didn''t need to pack up. If he needed anything, he could just buy them. Since Coralie wanted to
do so, he just let her do whatever she wanted.
"I know that you don''t need to take anything with you, you can buy it over there, but I just wanted to do
something for you."
Coralie uttered as she put the indoor clothes in the suitcase.
She knows that Skr could buy anything he needed no matter wherever he went.
"Of course, the new ones are not going to be asfortable as these."
"How about... I''ll go with you." Coralie spoke again, but after she said it, she immediately knew that she
said the wrong thing. "I just simply said it. I''ll wait for you toe back."
"Yes, wait for me toe back."
Skr could see Coralie''s contradicting emotions, but he didn''t refuse, because he was afraid.
He was afraid that if the operation failed this time, everything might return to how it was before.
This time, Skr had very high expectations for this operation.
"By the way, I''ll go back to the Hond family in the afternoonter. I''ll be back in the evening."
Skr was going to send his greetings to Lillian before he left the country. After all, it was going to be
more than half a year, so he had to at least inform her.
"Okay, do you need... me to go with you?"
Coralie asked symbolically.
She hadn''t seen Lillian for a long time already. However, Coralie knew that their rtionship would only
be worse if they met again.
In Lillian''s eyes, not to mention Skr''s lower body was unable to move, even if he was paralyzed, or
even in a vegetative state, Coralie was still not worthy of him.
"No, you should stay here. I''ll be back very soon."
Skr knew that it was not good for Coralie and Lillian to meet.
......
Skr returned to the Hond family in the afternoon.
He arrived at the door in a wheelchair, and then the servant pushed him in.
"Why have you be like this? Oh my god, that woman must be crazy!"
As soon as Skr entered the house, he heard Lillian''s exaggerated voice.
He went into the living room and saw Queenie, and Lillian as well, who was dressed in thick indoor
clothes.
When the two of them saw Skr entering the room, they both shut their mouths at the same time.
Their gazes towards Skr were a little awkward.
"My son, you are back."
Lillian greeted Skr first.
"Skr, your leg injury... is it more serious than what you described?"
Queenie was a little surprised to see Skr sitting in a wheelchair.
Lillian had her pride and ego. She previously told Queenie that Skr''s leg only had a minor injury, but
now that Queenie saw him in a wheelchair, how could it be just a minor injury?
"It''s just a minor injury." Lillian couldn''t keep her face straight as she quickly winked at Skr, "Am I
right, my son?"
"No, it''s not."
Skr was quite upset when he saw Lilian acting as if he was an embarrassment to her.
His denial made both Lillian and Queenie feel awkward.
Queenie then quickly changed the topic. "Skr, what''s your rtionship with that Coralie? I saw the
news a few days ago, that woman is not a good person..."
"I do not need yourments regarding my woman."
Before Queenie could finish her words, Skr immediately interrupted her.
He used the words "my woman" which directly stated his rtionship with Coralie.
"Yes, yes, I was just casually talking about it, but you''re such an excellent man, so don''t get fooled so
easily by a woman..."
Queenie was doing this out of her own goodwill.
Originally, she had no prejudice against Coralie. However, now, the matter between Wayne and Jamie,
in addition to Valerie and Lillian''sments, and the audio recording from the news, made Queenie
feel that Coralie was not worthy of Skr.
Skr nced at Queenie and said, "Auntie Queenie, I thought you were smarter than Auntie Elsa and
wouldn''t believe these unnecessary gossips. It seems like I was wrong."
His words were cold, and his tone was as cold as ice. He didn''t say anything else, but Queenie
immediately stopped talking.
Although Queenie was like this, Lillian, who was beside her, was not afraid at all. "Skr, are you still
with Coralie?"
"Mom, I came back to tell you that I will be going abroad in a few days and maye back after half a
year. In this half a year, I hope that you will behave yourself. Don''t care about anything you shouldn''t
and don''t bother people whom you shouldn''t disturb."
Skr did not answer her question.
But his words had already exined everything.
Who could be the one she should not disturb if not Coralie?
Hearing her son say such a thing to her in front of Queenie made Lillian feel even more embarrassed,
she immediately said, "Skr, Coralie made you this way, why are you still not giving up on her? Are
you only willing to give up after she kills you?"
"Mum, it''s my own business about who I want to marry. You''ve seen that Skyton Corporation can grow
without anyone else''s help. You just need to live a good life. Enjoy yourfortable life and travel
around."
It was impossible for Skr and Lillian to argue too much. No matter what, Lillian was still his mother.
"You are my son. You must obey me!"
Lillian was exasperated.
If there wasn''t anyone else there, it wouldn''t be a big deal. In front of Queenie, it would be so shameful
if she couldn''t even discipline her own son!
"I''ve said all that I wanted to say. If you don''t listen, I''ll take care of it in my own way then."
Skr didn''t want to argue with Lillian, so he asked the servant who had pushed him in to push him out
of the house again.
This time, he didn''t even stay in the Hond''s house for ten minutes.
"Skr!" Looking at Skr acting this way, Lillian gnashed her teeth in anger. "What kind of sorcery
does that Coralie do? My son was allured by her that he had lost himself. Do you know why he became
like that? It''s because there was a time when Coralie jumped off a building and my son tried to save
her!"

Lillian did not know about Coralie''s abduction. She only eavesdropped on a phone call and knew that
Skr was trying to save Coralie from falling off the building.
