Chapter 372


    "Mom, Skr treats me well. Marrying him will definitely bring me happiness. Please rest in peace."


    Coralie joined the conversation.


    They went on talking endlessly.


    Hera stood by the side, without saying a word.


    When they came out of the cemetery and sat in the car, Hera finally said, "Coralie, please don''t me


    me. I''ve always wanted to tell you about your biological mother, but I don''t have the courage."


    "Mom," Coralie spoke while holding Hera''s hand, "You will always be my mother. No matter what


    happens, this will not change."


    Although the Chariott family was not wealthy, they were very blessed. There were no shorings or


    traumas in Coralie''s childhood, and that was the best.


    Hera looked at Skr and said, "Skr, do you still remember the jade pendant you saw in Coralie''s


    photo album back then? That jade pendant was given to Coralie by her biological father. He is in B


    City."


    Hera was not aware that Coralie had long realized her background, and she wanted to take this


    opportunity to tell Coralie everything.


    Before Hera could say anything, Coralie chimed in, "Mom, I have met my biological father, and I know


    about what happened between my mother and him. Although he gave me life, he did not raise me. My


    life has nothing to do with him."


    Coralie did not have much affection for Houston, even though he was her biological father.


    "You have met him?"

    Hera did not expect that Coralie had already met Houston.


    "Yes, I did. When I went to B City for a business trip, he recognized me immediately because I looked


    so much like my mother."


    Coralie did not intentionally hide the truth from Hera.


    After hearing her words, Hera nodded and said, "Yes, your mother and I were like sisters. When you


    were a child, I didn''t think that you resembled her. But as you grew up, I found that you looked more


    like Madison. Your tempers are simr too."


    "Yes, I''ve heard, and I know that my mother was a great woman. I''m very grateful to her. After knowing


    that Houston deceived her, she decided to leave him, and yet she still decided to keep me..."


    If Madison did not carry on with the pregnancy after leaving Houston, Coralie would not be here today.


    "Well, Madison and I were ssmates, and we had a close rtionship. When she went to B City, I


    visited her and even had a meal with Houston. However, I did not expect..."


    Every time Hera thought of Madison, she could not help but sigh.


    In her opinion, Madison was an excellent person, but she died at a young age because of a scumbag.


    It was such a waste.


    "Yes, Mom, I have nothing to do with the Zac family in the future. I am the daughter of the Chariott


    family, and I am your daughter."


    Coralie said with certainty.


    "Yes, you will always be my daughter."


    Hera held Coralie in her arms and realized that she was overly sensitive. She was worried that Coralie


    would look for her biological father after knowing the truth.


    The auction was on the next day.


    This time, Coralie followed Skr into the legendary VIP lounge. Thest round when she auctioned


    her bracelet, she was only seated at the bottom, looking up at the VIP lounge, but that day, she was


    sitting inside.


    There were dedicated service staff members in the VIP room, who served them tea and coffee and


    assisted with the bidding.


    When she sat inside and looked through the auction list, she realized that the diamond was at the


    bottom of the list. She couldn''t help but persuade Skr, "Skr, if this ring gets too expensive, can we


    stop bidding?"


    "I''m only getting married once in my life. I''m not afraid to spend more."


    Skr knew that Coralie was worried that he would spend too much money, but he had already


    decided to give Coralie the best diamond. How could he give it up so easily?


    Besides, the price of this diamond waspletely within his range.


    "But others usually buy a diamond ring for hundreds of thousands of dors, yet this is worth tens of


    millions of dors... It''s not worth spending so much money on a diamond ring."


    Upon hearing from the manager of the auction house that the diamond would cost 30 to 40 million


    dor at the auction, Coralie made up her mind to persuade Skr to give up on the diamond ring.


    "This is a good deal."


    "How is this a good deal?"


    When Coralie heard Skr said it was a good deal, she could not understand what he was thinking.


    "Think about it. D- grade diamonds are colorless diamonds. I checked it the other day. This kind of


    diamond has a lower chance of being produced than a 40-carat diamond, and diamonds are


    nonrenewable resources. Diamonds are bing fewer in quantity due to mining activities, and it will


    be more and more expensive. Don''t you think it is worth buying?"


    Skr gave Coralie an analysis.


    In actual fact, he did not investigate it at all. Instead, he yed on Coralie''s miser-mentality and used


    this to fool her.


    However, Coralie did not know these things. After hearing what Skr said, she immediately looked it


    up on her mobile phone and found that the D-grade diamonds were indeed fewer. Since they were


    fewer in quantity, they might be more expensive.


    "This is really the case..."


    Coralie nodded as she read.


    After hearing Coralie''s words, Skr breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified that what he said was


    not written on the Inte, and Coralie would get so angry that she would not allow him to bid on it.


    "Of course, I will not lie to you." Skr took Coralie into his arms and put her phone aside. "Okay, the


    auction has begun. Let''s see if you like anything else. I''ll buy it for you."


    He was afraid that Coralie would find something that was inconsistent with what he said.


    "There''s no need for that. Just bid on the diamond ring." Coralie was in no mood to look at other things.


    She only looked at the diamond ring they were going to bid and said, "I will keep this ring with me. Is it


    alright if we sell this ring if yourpany is in urgent need of money in the future?"


    "Yes, we can."


    Although Skr had said so, he had already made up his mind. Even if Skyton Corporation closed


    down and went bankrupt, he would never sell the diamond he had given to her.


    The auctioned items would either be auctioned away or kept for future bidding during the auction. It


    was finally time to auction the diamond ring after two hours.


    At the time of the diamond ring''s auction, the manager of the auction house specially came to Skr''s


    VIP room to remind them.


    "Our final auction for today''s item is from the most famous Tanzanian diamond mine..."


    The host gave a detailed introduction of the diamond ring, such as the origin, carats, purity, color grade,


    cutting, etc.


    At the same time, he also did not forget to mention that the diamond ring was an unreserved auction.


    "10 million!1''


    When the host had just announced the start of the auction, someone already named their price.


    "12 million!"


    "13 million"


    Anyone from the industry would know the value of this diamond, including its appreciation value.


    Therefore, the buyers were eager to buy the diamond, and they would continue bidding.


    "Aren''t you going to bid?"


    When Coralie saw Skr was sitting next to her, watching the intensepetition with a calm


    expression, she couldn''t help but ask that.


    After reassuring Coralie, Skr turned around and asked the VIP lounge service staff, "How many


    people are there in the VIP lounge today?" "Three."


    The service staff member next to him replied.
