Chapter 411
"What did you say?"
The three kidnappers in front of Coralie glanced at her in surprise.
"It's true. My phone is right here. There is a wedding photo of me and Skylar, and... and..." Coralie
thought for a moment, "I'm 2 months pregnant. As long as I'm unharmed, my husband will definitely
pay the ransom money."
She deliberately mentioned 'unharmed' so that the kidnappers would not touch her.
Lilian did not expect that Coralie would help her. Just now, her head was still in a daze, so she didn't
think of selling Coralie out.
However, Coralie had admitted her identity instead!
"Oh my, why didn't you mention this earlier? If we had known, we would not even need to kidnap this
old hag!"
After they knew of Coralie's identity, the kidnappers did not look at Lillian at all. They gathered around
Coralie.
"You mean, you're Skylar's wife?"
One of the kidnappers squatted down and lifted Coralie's chin up with his fingers.
"Yes."
Coralie nodded. She looked at the kidnapper in front of her. Although he was covered with a black hood
on his head, she felt that his voice sounded familiar.
She seemed to have heard it before.
"What should we do? We can't touch her now, can we?"
A kidnapper asked from the side.
"Of course not! Money is our priority, not women. After we receive 10 million dollars each, we can have
as many women as we want."
One of them reprimanded.
Coralie sat there quietly without another word.
"Okay, let's call him when we get the message!"
"Okay! Let's play two rounds of poker first."
The kidnappers talked as they went outside.
After they left, Coralie inched little by little to Lillian's side and asked, "Auntie Ford, are you okay?"
Lillian laid there wordlessly.
Coralie thought she was unconscious so she quickly moved towards her front to check on her. When
she was in front of her, she saw that Lillian's face was swollen.
Lilian saw Coralie come over and then looked up. "Don't think that I will approve of you just because
you helped me. Valerie is the only daughter-in-law in my heart!"
"Skylar and I don't need your consent at all."
Hearing her stubborn words, Coralie moved away from Lilian. She was used to Lillian's ignorance.
After that, Lillian did not speak anymore. Perhaps it was because her face hurt too much.
After the incident happened, the waiter from the cafe was about to call the police, but Valerie came in
and took out a stack of money from her bag, throwing it in front of the waiter.
"This is..."
The waiter looked at Valerie in surprise.
Valerie pushed the money to the waiter and said in a low voice, "Don't call the police. Just pretend
nothing happened. Do you hear me?"
The waiter looked at the stack of money, which would accumulate to his annual salary. He quickly
nodded, "Okay." "Smart." As Valerie spoke, she pulled up the zipper of her bag and left quickly.
She drove to Skyton Corporation immediately. Just as she reached the entrance, she received a text
message.
"If Skylar involves the police, I will spill out everything about that year!"
Valerie took a glance and was very annoyed. Then, she deleted the message casually. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
She locked her car and ascended the stairs.
Valerie reached the reception, and she was about to rush in when the receptionist immediately stood
up. "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Valerie was dressed luxuriously. The receptionist did not dare to offend her because she could tell that
Valerie was a rich person.
"I'm looking for Skylar, President Holland! I have something urgent to discuss with him. Please inform
Lorraine; she knows who I am. My name is Valerie Rae!"
Valerie pretended to be in a hurry, speaking incoherently.
Seeing her situation, the receptionist immediately called Lorraine's extension. After confirming Valerie's
identity with Lorraine, she let Valerie in.
Valerie took the elevator and went straight up to the top floor.
As soon as she went up, Lorraine was there, waiting for her. She asked, "What happened? Why are
you looking for President Holland? He is in a meeting right now."
"I have something urgent to tell him. I must see him right away."
Valerie knew she could not tell others about the kidnapping. The fewer people knew about it, the better.
She could only keep Lorraine guessing.
"What's the matter? Tell me. I'll pass the message to President Holland."
Lorraine said as she saw Valerie's anxious expression.
Valerie had always been good at acting. She could fool Lorraine in minutes.
As everyone was in the meeting at the moment, Valerie said, "You can just inform President Holland
that lives are at stake. Please ask him to come out for a moment!"
"Lives are at stake?"
"Yes, lives are at stake!"
Valerie tugged Lorraine's arm, brewed her emotions and was about to cry. The rims of her eyes were
already red.
Seeing her state, Lorraine hesitated for a moment. "Okay, wait for me. I'll go in and inform him."
"Okay, thank you."
Valerie held onto Lorraine's arms and increased her strength as if she was really very anxious.
Lorraine struggled to pull her hand away and then walked towards the stairs to the conference room on
the lower floor.
Outside the meeting room, Lorraine saw that the leaders from various departments were all in a
meeting. When she saw Dominic talking, she quickly slipped into the conference room through the
back door.
"President Holland, Miss Rae is looking for you."
"Tell her I'm busy," Skylar frowned.
Sure enough, after Lorraine mentioned Valerie, Skylar's expression remained unchanged and became
even colder. As if the woman had nothing to do with him at all.
Seeing his expression, Lorraine immediately said, "Miss Rae said lives are at stake, maybe it's best
that you could..."
Hearing Lorraine's words, Skylar looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Lives are at stake?"
"Yes, lives are at stake."
Lorraine believed Valerie as she had seen Valerie's expression just now.
"Alright."
Skylar felt that since she said lives were at stake, he will need to know more about it.
He stood up and left with Lorraine. The meeting went on without him.
When Skylar arrived at the top floor, Valerie stood there without saying a word and followed him into his
office.
"Go ahead, what's the matter?"
Skylar sat down at his desk and glanced at his watch. He was thinking about picking Coralie up later.
He sent a Whatsapp message to Coralie. As he pressed the keyboard, Valerie said, "Skylar, Miss
Chariott and Auntie Ford have been kidnapped."
"What?"
Skylar's hand froze in the air. He raised his head to look at Valerie, trying to capture the reliability of the
news from her expression.
Valerie was always talented in fooling people with her acting skills. At that moment, she fixed her eyes
on Skylar, looking extremely sure.
"It's true. Just now, Auntie Ford asked me to go shopping with her. When we were halfway shopping,
she said that she had a date with Miss Chariott and we went to meet her immediately. After that, Miss
Chariott and Auntie Ford quarreled with each other. Soon after, Auntie Ford began to feel unwell and I
hurried to the car to get her medicine. At that time..."
Hearing her words, Skylar narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He asked word by word, "How could
the timing be so coincidental?"
