"Ding."

His cell phone rang. Coralie Chariott knew that it was a text message.

It was already past midnight. Who would send a text message to Skylar at this time?

It was not until then that Skylar was finally willing to let go of her.

He loosened his grip on her hair and went for his phone.

It was a text message from Valerie Rae.

Coralie didn't care one bit about it as she got up and washed her face.

Before she went to the bathroom, Skylar Holland suddenly dropped his mobile phone and rushed to the master bedroom. Soon, there was a loud noise coming from the master bedroom.

Coralie was struck silent. She cleaned her face and rushed to look at Skylar's mobile phone. It was a text message from Valerie.

"Skylar.

This message is sent on a timer. So when you see this, I have already left this world. Sorry, I know that my existence is an obstacle between you and Miss Chariott. But I can't control myself, and I don't want you to worry about me. I think that leaving is the best way to end this.

By the way, there's one thing that I've been keeping in my heart for a long time. I'm sorry, and I love you."

"You should leave then!"

Coralie was a little confused. When she went out, she saw that Skylar had left the house.

The servants chased after him too.

In an instant, she was the only one left in the house.

Coralie went to the master bedroom and saw a pool of red water in the bathtub. It seemed that Valerie had slashed her wrist after knowing that Skylar was in her room.

Now, Coralie suddenly felt that Valerie was really mentally ill.

Otherwise, how could a person inflict such a cruel thing on herself?

Thinking of this, Coralie suddenly felt a little guilty. She called for a taxi and rushed to Harvey's hospital.

"Miss Chariott, Young Master Holland is requesting you to have dinner downstairs."

Coralie stood at the door and looked at Skylar, who was standing beside Valerie's bed. She handed his mobile phone to him and said, "Since the contract has expired, just let me know when you could make time to sign the divorce agreement. I'll go home and pack up."

Skylar panicked when he heard that she was going to leave. He pulled Coralie out of the ward, pushed her against the wall, and told her fiercely, "Coralie, if you want to leave, then just leave. You don't have to tell me!"

In fact, Skylar was also very frustrated. Valerie was already getting better, but now, she had suddenly made a ruckus by attempting suicide. What would the Rae family think about this?

Would he still be able to get rid of Valerie?

"Well, I won't say it anymore. This would be the last time. You won't hear it from me in the future," After Coralie finished speaking, she freed her wrist from his big palm. After walking away for a few steps, she turned her head to look at Skylar, who was standing there and said, "Skylar, even if you don't believe me, I have to make myself clear for the last time. Nothing happened between me and Franklin. You shouldn't misunderstand, I'm only telling you this because... Forget it, it's nothing."

She had hoped Skylar would think of her good side whenever he thought of her in the future. She did not want him to recall the misunderstanding that she had cheated on him.

Halfway through her words, Coralie thought that it would be better for Skylar to never think of her in the future.

Coralie walked away silently. Every step she took was so heavy that she felt as though her feet were dragging her to the ground, farther and farther away from Skylar. This could really be their end.

She felt so distressed that she couldn't breathe.

Skylar stared at the gray wall in a daze. He knew very well that nothing happened between Coralie and Franklin.

A few dishes were sprawled over on the dining table downstairs. There was also fresh watermelon juice. It was indeed an assorted menu for a dinner.

Valerie had become such a mess. Instead of dragging all three of them into such misery, it would be better for him to endure everything alone and let Coralie go.

Coralie went back home and packed her things. Among the things that she packed, she took the pile of lipstick that Skylar had bought for her. It wasn't because of the tangible value, but because that was the first time Skylar had bought a gift for her. The first and the only time.

As the servants had gone along to the hospital, Coralie put her things at the door and sauntered around the villa again and again. Every corner of this villa reminded her of the memories she shared with Skylar In the end, Coralie found herself in the study. She looked at the desk that Skylar had bought for her. She sat there for the last time and fixed her eyes at Skylar's empty table. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She would never get to see him sitting there as he burrowed his head into his work ever again.

"Skylar, don't miss me, and don't think about me."

The memories that were swimming inside Coralie's mind became too painful for her. She cried her heart out, hollowing everything until it felt excruciatingly empty. Perhaps leaving was the best choice. As an ordinary girl, she would never be able to measure up to a rich and powerful family like the Holland Family.

Coralie sat for a while more before leaving with her stuff. She left her access card behind.

Although Skylar was still angry at Coralie, he still knew which side he had to stand on.

The next day, although Coralie had left, the Rae family received news that Valerie had attempted suicide and was currently hospitalized.

Coralie was at a loss for a moment.

As soon as Amelia entered the ward, she saw Valerie lying on the bed with a drip. When she caught sight of Valerie's pale face, her tears poured immediately. She sat down in front of the bed and reprimanded her, "Valerie, why did you do this? What happened that you have to kill yourself?"

Seeing Amelia's tears, Valerie quickly wiped it away and said, "Mom, don't cry. I didn't know what happened too. I just felt like I was a burden to Skylar and Miss Chariott. I'll be a burden as long as I'm alive. If I die, I could release them from such a burden."

Upon hearing this, Amelia looked at Skylar beside her and knelt before him. She said through her tears, "Skylar, please, I beg of you. Please cut off every contact with Coralie and marry our Valerie. We'll give you whatever you want."
