You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 147

"Excuse me, sir..."

Valerie Rae and Lorraine Thomas were sitting outside. When they saw the police coming, they were

frightened and they stood up instantly.

By the time they rose to their feet, the police had already made their way into the President's office.

"You are suspected of being involved in a smuggling case. Please come with us to the police station."

The police declared to Skylar Holland as soon as they stepped their feet into his office.

When Skylar saw the police, he was not surprised at all. He got up and notified Jayson Lowell, who

then came in with Valerie and Lorraine, "Jayson, take care of the company for the time being."

"President Holland, what happened?"

In the company and in front of the police, Valerie still addressed Skylar as President Holland.

"I'm fine."

He then left with the police.

Since he was only a suspect, the police spared him from the handcuffs.

Watching as Skylar's back vanished from her sight, Valerie was stunned.

They were going to get engaged the next day. What was happening?

She quickly picked up the phone and called her father, Hector Rae.

"Dad, the police just took Skylar away. Please find out what's going on!"

Valerie panicked. Uneasiness overwhelmed her when she thought that the engagement ceremony

might be canceled.

"What?"

Hector had no idea about this since it had not been exposed to the news and the Internet. However,

when he heard Valerie's words, a bad feeling simmered in him.

"The police who came just now said that he was suspected with a smuggling case."

Valerie was about to cry on the other side of the phone.

She was particularly concerned that there would be last-minute changes to the engagement party. After

all, she had given her all to get engaged to Skylar.

"Don't worry, I'll get someone to check it out right now."

"Dad, what about the engagement ceremony and banquet tomorrow..."

When she mentioned the engagement banquet, Hector became even more upset. At the request of

Valerie and Amelia Harington, Hector had invited a lot of elites. He didn't expect this interruption to

happen.

"Let's talk about it later!"

There was nothing more they could do.

After hanging up the phone, Hector asked his friends from all fields to investigate the matter. Soon, he

caught wind of the news.

Subsequently, Skylar's arrest was also released on the news broadcast and the Internet.

"The President of Skyton Corporation, Skylar Holland, has been taken away by the police. He is

suspected to be involved with the smuggling case of the bodies of babies.

The news caused a sensation everywhere.

The Holland family, the Rae family, and the upper class of City A were all stirred in an uproar.

After all, nothing terrified them more than the curses that he might inflict on his competitors and to

make more money for himself.

Everyone was shocked.

Skyton Corporation's staff was among the first to know about this matter. Although no one knew about

the engagement between Skylar and Valerie, the two of them were together every day. Seeing how

Coralie Charriot was sitting in the office every day, they naturally knew that Skylar and Coralie had

broken up.

"Oh my God, is it true that President Holland is involved in the smuggling case?"

"Who knows? But I don't think that President Holland is that kind of person."

"Same here. President Holland is such a capable man. He doesn't have to curse his enemies with such

wicked means."

Several colleagues gathered together and talked about this matter.

Everyone was in the mood of gossiping. Moreover, it was their own boss who was in hot water. There

was no way that they could sit unbothered.

"Coralie, it can't be true, right? What should we do if President Holland were to be caught? Will Skyton

Corporation close down?"

At this time, no one was in the mood to work.

Felicia York pulled a chair to Coralie's table and darted her a bunch of questions.

Coralie's heart was sinking. She had been feeling down because Skylar would be engaged to Valerie

soon. Valerie had purposely leaked it to her a few days ago.

However, she didn't expect things to take such a downturn.

"President Holland won't do that! Someone must have framed him."

Coralie said with certainty.

She was sure that Skylar was not the kind of person. It was impossible for him to smuggle the corpses

of babies.

"Yes, I also believe that it's false," Felicia nodded, "I could finally rest assured. At least, I could keep my

job."

However, Coralie was still worried sick, her mind thrashing violently like the ocean waves on a stormy

day.

She was not sure if Skylar was being framed. Furthermore, Skylar was a rich young man and he had

never been to prison before. If he really stayed in prison for a few days, he probably wouldn't make it

out unscathed.

Coralie got even more excruciatingly conflicted at the thought of this.

......

"President Lanes, I'm really sorry. Tomorrow's engagement banquet is canceled... You've heard about

Skylar, haven't you? I didn't expect that to happen either."

Valerie finally got off work. As soon as she stepped into the house, she heard Amelia making a phone

call.

"Mom! What do you mean?" Before Amelia could hang up, Valerie had grabbed her phone away, "I'm

not going to cancel the engagement! Absolutely not!"

When Amelia saw that Valerie had snatched her phone, she reprimanded her quickly, "I haven't

finished talking with President Lanes yet. Give me my phone back."

"No, I don't want to."

Valerie hung up the phone the next second.

"Valerie, your father and I had overlooked this matter. Look, there are plenty of good men in the world.

You will always find someone suitable, perhaps better."

When Amelia saw that the call had been disconnected, she had no choice but to sit there and advised

Valerie.

"Mom, I don't want to marry anyone but Skylar!"

Valerie had sacrificed so much to make the engagement happen.

She even lost her leg to seize Skylar from Coralie. How could she give up now?

"Valerie, I know how hard it is for you to accept it. In fact, it's hard for me to swallow it either," In order

to calm Valerie, Amelia sighed and pretended to blame herself, "It has never crossed my mind that

Skylar would be this corrupted. Indeed, we can't judge a book by its cover. We watched him ever since

he was a child, but..."

"Mom, who doesn't want to make a fortune? Business is all about money, lawful or not. What's the

difference between Dad and him?"

Valerie was different from Coralie.

Valerie did contemplate about the veracity of his action. Perhaps Skylar really had a dark side to him

that she wasn't aware of. However, she was willing to turn a blind eye to it. She wanted to marry him no

matter what.

"What's the difference? Don't you know that what he did is pure evil? It's absurd and unacceptable!"

It was not unusual for corporates to employ tactics and strategies in business battles.

However, Skylar had crossed the line. He had broken a taboo in order to gain more fortune.

"I don't care!"

"You can't marry him!"

Hector entered the house, greeted by Valerie and Amelia's argument. Without hesitation, he vetoed

Valerie's insistence.
