Chapter 401


    "Well, it''s etiquette..."


    Coralie felt a little itchy when she was teased by him.


    "You smell good. Come on, let me have a closer scent," Skr said as he pulled Coralie from her chair


    and ushered her to sit on the desk. "My love, can you continue with your work after I''m done with my


    business?"


    "No! I won''t have any time left after you are done with your business."


    Coralie protested.


    She knew what Skr meant.


    "Then you don''t have to do it. Let me trante it for you this time and then you can do it yourself the


    next time."


    Skr was not aware of her assignment''s deadline. He thought it was an urgent assignment thus he


    offered to help her.


    "This is my responsibility," Coralie huffed.


    "Be a good girl. You can do it at night. I don''t think we have tried doing it in the study room before."


    As Skr spoke, his hands carried on with their movements.


    The originally cold atmosphere in the study room had turned enchanting and lustful.


    After Coralie and Skr were done, it was almost 4 o''clock. Coralie knew that she did not have much


    time left to continue with her work, thus she took a bath, put on light makeup and a decent dress, and


    followed Skr to meet his parents.


    In fact, she was really nervous.


    "Skr, what if both your parents strongly oppose us?"


    Coralie held Skr''s hand in the car, her palms sweating slightly.


    If it was only Lilian who opposed her, Coralie could still deal with it, but what if Anthony opposed as


    well?


    She still remembered what Anthony told her in the hospital many years ago.


    "Poor people like you love to talk about feelings, but we are businessmen, and businessmen only look


    at benefits."


    If his thoughts were still the same, Anthony would still hope that Skr would marry a woman who


    would be helpful to their business.


    Many women fulfilled his criteria, but she definitely did not.


    "No, they won''t. This time, I''m not asking for their approval. I am merely informing them."


    Skr ced his hand on Coralie''s shoulder tofort her.


    Coralie did not speak anymore. At this point, it was useless to escape. She had to face the obstacle


    together with Skr.


    "Tell me, who is that woman? Is that Evelyn fromst time?"


    When Skr and Coralie arrived at the restaurant, the waiter led them to their private dining room.

    However, before they could push the door open, they heard Lillian''s screaming from the outside.


    Skr''s hand, which was about to open the door, halted.


    "She is my assistant. How many times do I need to tell you?"


    It was Anthony''s voice.


    His tone was full of impatience for Lilian.


    "Assistant? How many times have I told you to stop looking for a female secretary or assistant? But


    look at you, how many did you hire? It was Linda before and now Evelyn. Can''t you find a male


    assistant? Your son also hired a male assistant!"


    Lillian babbled furiously inside the room.


    "Should we go inter?"


    Coralie nced at Skr and asked for his opinion.


    If they went in at that moment, both Anthony and Lillian would know that they had heard them


    quarreling. They would feel embarrassed.


    "It''s fine. Let''s enter."


    Skr pushed the door open as he spoke.


    Anthony initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Skr walking in, he swallowed his words


    and put on a serious expression.


    "Morn, Dad."


    Skr greeted them and dragged Coralie in.


    "Uncle, Auntie."


    Lillian and Anthony both had a stern face, as if Coralie owed them 100 million dors. Looking at them,


    Coralie did not dare to say anything.


    After they sat down, Lillian pointed at Coralie. "What are you wearing? Do you wish to be the daughter-


    inw of the Hond family with such tastes?"


    Coralie was a little dumbfounded by her words.


    Obviously, Lillian was furious and she had nowhere to vent her anger. Therefore, she vented her anger


    on Coralie.


    "Morn, I bought the dress for her."


    Skr took the me.


    "You bought it for her?" Lillian became even more enraged. "Son, you are the president of Skyton


    Corporation. How can you buy clothes for a woman?" "Why not? She is my wife," Skr shrugged.


    "Of course not! So what if she is your wife? She is supposed to serve and take care of you, not the


    other way around!"


    Lilian behaved like a madwoman, attacking everyone.


    However, her attitude towards Skr was still good. She only treated Coralie poorly.


    "Auntie, I will not let Skr buy anything for me in the future. I will take good care of him."


    Coralie was afraid that Lillian and Skr would start a fight over this matter, thus she immediately


    ced the me on herself.


    "Whoever Skr marries will take good care of him. Why must he marry you?"


    Lilian nned to vent out her frustration.


    "I love her and I will only marry her." Skr ced his hands on Coralie''s chair and said, "If you want to


    continue talking like this, we have nothing to talk about anymore. We don''t have to meet in the future."


    "That''s enough! Let''s eat. Instruct the waiters to serve the dishes!"


    Anthony, who kept silent, finally opened his mouth.


    During the meal, no one spoke a word.


    After venting out her anger, Lillian was starved. She busied herself, gobbling down the dishes. After


    she was satisfied, she put down her cutlery and said to Skr, "Skr, Valerie lost a leg to save


    Coralie. She cant get married now. We, the Hond family, can''t be so ungrateful."


    Lilian''s sentences circled around Valerie.


    "Really? Did she tell you?"


    "Yes."


    Lillian nodded.


    "Great timing. I wanted to speak to President Zac about the matter he promised me before. I will give


    him a call now."


    Skr remained calm and collected. He dialed a number on his phone and ced it on speaker mode.


    Coralie, who sat next to him, saw that he called Houston.


    Immediately, the call was connected.


    "Hello, President Hond."


    Houston answered the call, sounding very enthusiastic.


    "President Zac, the thing is, my mother has always treated Valerie as her goddaughter. She heard that


    Valerie was going to marry Young Master Zac, thus she asked me to inquire about the progress of this


    matter."


    He spoke tactfully.


    Houston immediately understood what Skr meant. "The couple took their wedding photosst week,


    but as the hotels are packed, the wedding will need to be arranged for the end of next month."


    "That''s great. Please send us an invitation card when the timees."


    "Sure, definitely!"


    When Skr hung up the phone, Lillian felt extremely awkward.


    Valerie had even taken wedding photos with Jasper, yet she still tried to persuade Skr to marry


    Valerie.


    "Just continue ying your poker. Do not interfere with Skr''s marriage matters anymore!"


    Anthony nced at Lillian with a disgusted look.


    Coralie discovered that since they came in, Anthony had not looked at Lillian. Whenever he nced at


    her asionally, he was either disgusted or displeased.


    "Miss Chariott, if I remember correctly, you are rted to Houston, the one on the line just now. Am I


    right?"


    Anthony suddenly spoke.


    Coralie was taken aback. She did not expect Anthony to mention it.
