Chapter 364


    "Sure, no problem. I''ll go and make the necessary preparations."


    Houston was a businessman. He had promised to let Coralie marry Yohan because he wanted money.


    This time, there was definitely more money aspared tost time, so he had no reason to refuse.


    "I shall be waiting for your good news."


    After Skr finished speaking, he hung up the phone.


    Valerie was gritting her teeth in anger as she listened to their conversation from the side. However, she


    still pretended to be apologetic and said to Skr, "Skr, I''m sorry, I''ve caused you to lose such an


    important project for my sake. How should I thank you?"


    She did not mention that Skr''s sacrifice was for the sake of her and Jasper, and only chose to


    mention herself.


    Skr replied, "I''m just trying to make Coralie feel better."


    Ever since the incident at the rehabilitation center, Skr had lost even the slightest bit of good


    impression that Valerie had left on him.


    In fact, Skr felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Jasper. He was in the same situation as Skr was

    back then.


    Back then, Skr had once thought that Valerie was a kind girl. If the family had wanted him to marry


    her, he would not have any objections.


    Butter, he met Coralie, and everything became different.


    Later on, Skr gradually realized that Valerie wasn''t who he thought she was. Everything that she


    presented was merely a facade.


    "No matter what, thank you, President Hond."


    Jasper was in a good mood.


    Even though Amenda had a ce in his family, Houston was the one who had the final say in all


    matters.


    At this time, the dishes of the two tables were served.


    The two parties did not converse any further.


    Coralie and Skr took their leave first after finishing their meal.


    When they were outside, Coralie asked, "Is the Central Square project very important? Are you going


    to give it to the Zac family just like that?"


    She knew that Skr''s reason for saying those things was to reduce the guilt in her heart. It was also


    to prevent Valerie from bringing up the matter repeatedly.


    "Forthem, it''s a big project. For me, it''s nothing big."


    Skr replied as he took her into his arms and left.


    Originally, Coralie had thought that Skr would take her to a jewelry shop to buy some jewelry.


    However, the car stopped at the entrance of an office building.


    "Is it here?" Coralie asked.


    Coralie stood downstairs and looked around. It didn''t seem that there would be a jewelry store here at


    all.


    "Well, you''ll know when you go upstairs."


    Skr knew that she was confused, but he didn''t offer any further exnation. He just took her to the


    elevator and waited till they reached the top floor of the office building.


    When the elevator door opened, Coralie saw a ss que hanging on the wall, which read ''Hampton


    Auction House''.


    "Is this the ce?" Coralie asked curiously.


    "That''s right." Skr nodded.


    Looking at Coralie whose eyes were still full of doubts, Skr still had no intentions to offer her any


    exnation.


    When he pulled Coralie to the front of the door, the receptionist immediately came out and greeted


    respectfully, "President Hond, Mrs. Hond, wee to the Hampton Auction House."


    "Thank you."


    Skr nodded.


    The receptionist led Skr and Coralie all the way inside. A man who looked like a manager, who was


    dressed in a suit, came over and said, "Mr. Hond, we have gathered all the best diamonds that are


    about to be auctioned in the country."


    "Is there anything good?"


    Skr asked as he walked.


    "There are a lot of them. Come in and I''ll let you have a look."


    As the manager spoke, a staff member with gloves on, who was walking at the very front, opened an


    iron door.


    Coralie noticed that even though the iron door was open, she still couldn''t enter. There was a small


    space inside with cameras everywhere. Then, there was another door leading to the security room


    inside.


    After the manager verified their pupils and fingerprints, the staff opened the door of the security room.


    Coralie followed Skr into the room. The room was dark, and the manager stood by the side and


    turned on the light.


    When the light was turned on, Coralie saw that there was arge space inside, surrounded by beautiful


    exhibition counters. Each exhibition counter was filled with ck boxes, in which there were diamonds.


    In the middle was a counter, and on top of it was an eye-catching box that had a rtivelyrge


    diamond in it.


    "President Hond, this is the best diamond here. Every cutting on it is perfect."


    As the manager spoke, he walked to the cab in the corner and nned to introduce the diamonds


    to Skr from the beginning.


    However, Skr wasn''t listening. He went straight to the counter that was in the middle of the room,


    pointed to the diamond inside and said, "That is the one i want."


    The manager''s face fell when he saw Skr asking for it. "President Hond, if you want that diamond,


    you''ll have to participate in the auction."


    "Why? Let the expert evaluate it immediately and I''ll buy it at the highest price."


    Skr said without hesitation.


    Before he came here, he had already made a deal with the manager that the diamond he liked would


    be directly evaluated by the expert. He could choose to not participate in the auction and purchase it at


    the highest price. Although it might be more expensive, at least he didn''t have to wait.


    Seeing how determined Skr was, the manager said, "President Hond, do you know why this


    diamond looks so much more eye-catching than the others?"


    "Why?"


    Skr knew nothing about diamonds.


    However, this diamond was indeed very eyecatching. Clearly, its colour was not special nor was it


    much bigger than the other diamonds. However, it was very dazzling and different from the rest.


    "Because it''s a diamond of D-grade database quality, which is the best quality of a colourless diamond.


    The manager exined.


    "Aren''t most of the diamonds sold on the market colourless?"


    Coralie was a little confused.


    The diamonds she usually saw were all white, colourless.


    "No, most of the diamonds are colored, just like this one." The manager pointed to the diamond in a


    cab next to him and said, "This is level G, three levels lower than D.


    In addition, this diamond was cut in the most perfect proportion. It could be said to be the most perfect


    diamond in the market in recent years.


    Director Hond, you have to know that D- grade diamonds themselves are very rare."


    The manager was afraid that Skr would not understand, so he told him how rare and pure the


    diamond was. He wanted him to understand that it was too rare.


    "So, I would have to participate in the auction?"


    After listening to the manager''s words, Skr understood his intentions.


    "Yes, you''d have to participate, because although this diamond is not thergest, it is the rarest. Any


    ring made out of this diamond will dazzle wherever it goes."


    After listening for a long time, Coralie finally understood what the manager meant; this diamond was


    very expensive.


    She pulled Skr''s hand and said, "Skr, why don''t we choose something else? It''s not that we need


    this one, the rest are pretty good too."


    Moreover, there were a few other diamonds that were as big as this one, and some were even bigger


    than this one.


    "No, I want this one." Looking at the diamond, Skr asked the manager with an expression of


    certainty, "When will the auction be held?"


    "It will be on the 30th of May."


    The manager replied.
