You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 435

"So you've found out?"

It surprised Skylar that Lillian knew about this.

The lawsuit had not been publicized, so outsiders should not know about it.

"Yes, good things don't spread, but bad things spread far and wide. Our circle in A City is so small.

Someone already informed me on the day the verdict was read."

Lillian put her cell phone aside, and it was evident that she was in a bad mood.

"Let bygones be bygones."

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the ward, Coralie couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, you just need to take good care of yourself and be discharged. Since these things have passed,

let's not mention them again."

Skylar also thought the same.

Now that Valerie had been sentenced and had begun her prison life to pay the price for what she had

done before, it would only be meaningless to hold on to the matter.

"Don't mention it?" Lillian sat in a daze. "Tell me, how could such a good child like Valerie do such a

thing? Did they make a mistake?"

Lillian's good impression of Valerie had accumulated little by little. It was impossible for it to disappear

in a flash.

She still could not help but address Valerie fondly.

"My staff have investigated this matter very clearly, and there were recordings from that year. Since

Valerie had cooperated with the Watson Group to frame me and harm Coralie, it's not a surprise that

she would do something like that when she was young."

In order to convict Valerie, the recording had been released, and it clearly explained everything.

Hendrick Chariott had been run over repeatedly by the same car. That was to say, Valerie was afraid

that Hendrick had not died, so she had run over him a few times.

For someone to be capable of such a thing, it was evident that she was cruel beyond belief.

However, Skylar did not tell Coralie about this matter as he was afraid that she would not be able to

take the blow.

Coralie still believed that the reason why Hendrick had died was because Valerie had left the scene.

"She's the daughter of the Rae Group, so she doesn't need to do something like this at all. Besides,

she used to treat me..."

"Auntie Ford, Valerie ran over my father years ago. Why is it that you just won't believe that she's a bad

person? She killed my father, and he died so innocently."

When Coralie heard Lillian continuously call Valerie a good girl, she could no longer hold herself back.

From Coralie's point of view, Valerie was extremely cruel. She had schemed against her time and time

again, schemed against Skylar, and even used her to make things difficult for Skylar.

She should pay the price for everything she had done.

"I didn't say anything. Your father has been dead for so many years, but Valerie is still alive. She is still

young..."

Lillian just couldn't believe it.

"Mom." Skylar could sense the tension between Coralie and Lillian. He helped Coralie and said, "If

Skyton Corporation had fallen because of Valerie, what do you think would happen now?"

"How could it..."

"How could it happen? The reason why Skyton Corporation didn't fall was because Coralie had gone to

look for the Zac Group and Watson Group. Otherwise, Skyton Corporation wouldn't exist in A City now,

and I'm afraid that you wouldn't even have a house, let alone your bags, clothes and shoes."

Skylar immediately brought up what Lillian cared for the most.

"Son, you're so capable. Skyton Corporation won't fall because of your skills."

Lillian sounded a little guilty as she spoke.

"What? If Coralie hadn't helped me the last time, Skyton Corporation would have been long gone and it

would have been because of Valerie's selfish desires. If you sleep under the bridge, have no food or

warm clothes to wear, would you still speak up for Valerie?"

Skylar was the best at being a mediator when things started to sour between Coralie and Lillian. He

would stand on Coralie's side and let Lillian realize that she was wrong.

Hearing this, Lillian felt a little frustrated.

Yes, she didn't want anything else but to live a good life. If Skyton Corporation fell, Anthony's company

would also be affected, though she would not suffer to the extent of being homeless as Skylar had

described.

However, days like the present would definitely be gone and people might even mock them.

"Alright, I know now. If she's sentenced, then so be it. Let's not talk about it since this matter has

passed."

It was impossible for Lillian to admit her mistake, but she also knew that Valerie was not suitable to be

her daughter-in-law.

"Yeah, then take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell the servants."

Skylar was afraid that Coralie would be angry if she stayed, so he wanted to take her away.

Coralie stood next to him and said nothing.

Lillian looked at Coralie's pregnant belly and did not say goodbye. Instead, she asked her, "Have you

gone for a check-up recently?"

"Me? Yeah."

Coralie nodded.

"Watch out for this matter. Nothing can go wrong with this child. Otherwise, I won't let you into the

family."

Lillian looked at Coralie's stomach and raised her voice, but it was not aggressive.

Coralie didn't know whether Lillian did this for the sake of her pregnancy or because she had already

planned to accept her.

"Whether she enters our family or not, your approval is not required." Seeing Lillian still suppressing

Coralie with such an attitude, Skylar was very unhappy. "My grandmother had never been unkind to

you. If you treat Coralie like this now, I won't come back to see you in the future."

Back when Grandmother Holland was still alive, even though Queenie and Elsa didn't see Lillian's

worth, Grandmother Holland didn't say a word about it.

That was the reason why Lillian could stay in the Holland family. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"I asked her to take good care of the baby. What's wrong with that? Am I wrong?"

In fact, because Lillian had been scolded by her son in front of her daughter-in-law, she felt wronged.

"Forget it, Skylar. I'm going to the toilet. You guys continue chatting. Don't argue."

Coralie didn't want to cause Skylar to have a rift with Lillian because of her. Even though there was a

toilet in the ward, she still went out.

As soon as Coralie left, Lillian immediately softened and said, "Son, how can you talk to your mother

like this? If I don't show her my dominance now, she will get into my head next time. How would I be

able to live then?"

"Coralie isn't that kind of person at all. Look at how you treated her before. She still suggested come

and see you today. If you don't want to think positively, then there's nothing I can do."

Skylar stuck his hands into his pockets.

"Fine, I'll be kind. Is that okay now?" Lillian softened and continued, "As long as she safely gives birth

to the child and adds more children to our family, the past... I will treat it as my mistake."

In fact, there was one thing in Lillian's mind that she did not talk about.

Lillian knew very well that Anthony had cheated on her. They were husband and wife, but they had no

romantic feelings for each other. It was normal for him to have an affair.

Lillian understood that she and Anthony were not on good terms. Hence, if she did not have a good

relationship with her son, there was no one else she could rely on.

"Yes, by the way, I want to tell you the truth of the car accident..."

In order for Lillian to see Valerie's true colors, Skylar told his mother what had happened years ago.

When Valerie saw that Hendrick was still alive, she did not hold back and had repeatedly run him over

with her car. He even conveyed some exaggerated information to her.

Lillian sat on the bed as she listened, and her face started to pale.

How could she believe that Valerie could have done such a cruel thing at such a young age?
