Chapter 378
Hearing this, Hera quickly stood up and went over to Lillian and said, "Lilian, I think we should let the
two children decide. Let's not..."
When Lilian heard Hera's words, she did not wait for her to finish, but instead, she stood up and
pushed Hera aside. "Of course you would think so! Poor people like you are definitely eager to leech off
rich people like us. Who are you to advise me? Don't take advantage of me here!"
Coralie, who was on the stage, hurriedly got off to help Hera when she saw that Lillian had pushed her.
At this time, Wayne and Hendric also went over.
"Marriage is between the two of them. Why are you making a scene here? You can't even control your
son yourself, so how could you push my mother?"
Wayne became angry when he saw that Lillian had shoved Hera and immediately supported her and
argued with Lilian.
Hendric, who stood by the side, had also become angry and voiced, "Bad Grandma, you want to break
up my mom and dad, and you even scolded my grandmother. I don't like you!"
"Son, can you see this? Can you see this?" Lillian pointed at Wayne and Hendric. "Look at how Coralie
educates the Holland family's heir, and take a good look at the Chariott family."
"Madam Ford, if you continue to make a scene here, it doesn't matter if you signed the agreement or
not; I will drive you out."
Skylar had also stepped down from the stage and stood in front of Lillian condescendingly, looking
down at her.
Lillian was shocked when she heard her son addressed her as Madam Ford!
"Son, what are you talking about? I'm your mother. You can't abandon your mother for your wife!"
Lillian stood up and pulled Skylar.
Valerie also spoke up for Lillian, "Skylar, Auntie Ford had carried you for ten months and given birth to
you. She gave you life. How can you do this to her? Why can't you listen to her for once?"
Upon hearing Valerie's words, Skylar looked at her and retorted, "What is it that I should listen to?
Should I listen to her and marry you?"
"No, Skylar, it's not necessary for you to marry me..."
Valerie was also a little flustered by Skylar's straightforwardness.
After all, Lillian showed up that day because Valerie went to the Holland family to inform her about
Skylar and Coralie's engagement that day. She even exaggerated about the event.
She made it seem like everyone in A City knew about the engagement except Lilian.
Lillian couldn't control her restlessness and dragged Valerie over.
"Son, how can you be heartless? Look at Valerie's legs. How did she end up like this? It is all Coralie's
fault, and it is only right for you to marry her. You have to take responsibility for her!"
Lillian furiously said as she pulled Valerie by her side.
She felt that her argument was tenable.
"Is that so?" Skylar looked at Valerie coldly and said," The driver was originally sentenced for causing
the car accident that year, but because the Rae family was willing to settle, the driver was released.
After that, the driver, who was from ordinary family background, suddenly immigrated overseas."
Hearing what Skylar said, Valerie's face suddenly turned pale.
"Son, are you doubting the truth of what happened back then? No one can be as foolish to gamble with
their own leg."
Lillian did not know anything. When she heard what her son said, her first reaction was to defend
Valerie.
"It's impossible, but what if it was an accident?"
Skylar held Coralie in his arms and looked at the two people in front of him.
At that moment, Coralie was speechless.
She had long suspected the truth behind the car accident, but she could not find any clues because the
driver's whereabouts were unknown.
"Skylar, I sincerely wanted to save your child at that time. Even though the accident had caused me
major mental trauma, I didn't blame you. How could you suspect me now?" Valerie played along. She
looked pitifully at Skylar with tears streaming down her face.
None of the guests dared to speak.
Even Wayne did not speak further. He returned to his seat with Hera and Hendric.
"You don't have to cry so soon. I have found the exact location of the driver. Everything will be clear
once we get him over here."
Skylar was very calm.
At first, he still treated Valerie as a friend. He also felt a little sympathetic for her because of the
accident.
However, after so many things had happened, Skylar was finally clear about Valerie's true colors.
Due to the events that followed, he believed that the car accident back then might have been planned
by Valerie, but the result was out of her control.
"Skylar, are you suspecting me?"
At this time, Valerie was so frightened that she felt slightly paralyzed. She had relied on the fact that
she lost one of her legs to save Coralie. However, if the matter was uncovered, she could no longer
pretend anymore.
"Yes, I'm suspecting you."
Skylar said with certainty.
Lillian, who had absolute trust in Valerie, stood in front of Valeria in an attempt to protect her. "Skylar,
Valerie is a good lady. How could you say that to her? You are truly blinded by Coralie and have lost
your soul!" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"I will repeat this. Today is my engagement banquet with Coralie. If you wish to attend, you can attend
it. If you don't, you can leave. If you cause a scene again, sign this, and I will drive you out."
Skylar's patience had already reached its limit.
He stood there, his handsome face full of anger, and his body emitted a menacing aura.
Valerie became mindful after hearing Skylar's words. She wiped her tears, pulled Lillian, and said,
"Auntie, let's sit down first. Today is a big day for Skylar and Miss Chariott, so let's not..."
"Valerie, you are a good lady. It is Skylar's loss for not marrying you."
Lillian was also afraid of Skylar as he was very similar to Anthony in certain areas. When they were
angry, they would definitely put their words into action.
"Auntie, don't say that."
When Valerie went over to Lilian's side, she noticed the ring on Coralie's finger. The sparkly and shiny
diamond ring.
She recognized it at first glance. It was the rare D-grade colorless diamond that was broadcasted on
TV a few days ago. At that time, she wanted to ask Jasper to buy it for her, but she was afraid that it
would scare him away, so she kept it to herself.
Seeing that, Valerie took the opportunity and said, "Skylar is so kind to Miss Chariott. That is the
colorless diamond worth 35 million, isn't it? It's definitely any woman's dream."
After she had finished, Lillian was shocked and asked, "What? 35 million? Skylar, are you crazy?
Buying such an item for this woman!"
Initially, Lillian had planned to wait until the banquet was over before continuing her conversation with
Skylar.
But now that she heard that Skylar had given Coralie a diamond worth more than 30 million dollars, she
was definitely more restless and couldn't stand it any longer!
