You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 151

"That's not true. Of course, a layman like you would say something like that. It's normal for businessmen to use some tactics in business wars. You haven't seen much of the world." Valerie Rae didn't want to give up and she retorted.

In fact, both of them were actually speaking for Skylar Holland from their own perspective.

"This is different from the tactics you speak of!"

"Isn't it the same, Skylar?"

When Valerie said that, she deliberately turned to ask Skylar, hoping that he would take her side.

However, when she looked over, she noticed that Skylar was sitting there and staring at Coralie through the iron window. There seemed to be some special meaning in his cold eyes. "Both of you should leave now."

Skylar broke his silence when he saw the two women quarreling. He tried to drive them away.

"Skylar, I..." Valerie didn't expect that he would drive them away. She looked at Coralie and said, "Your presence annoys Skylar."

"I'll go then."

Coralie Chariott originally intended to sit here and talk to Skylar, but she couldn't even gratify such a simple desire.

Since Valerie was here, the whole dynamic was steeping in awkwardness. Their roles were vaguely defined. Perhaps she had no right to stay here.

Coralie left first.

Seeing that Coralie had left, Valerie thought Skylar would feel at ease now. She said, "Skylar, how are you doing in there? Why don't I ask my father to bail you out?"

"There's no need for that. It's nice here."

Skylar got up with Coralie's lunch box in his hand. There was a trace of impatience in his eyes when he looked at Valerie, then, he returned to the detention center.

In fact, if Skylar wanted to be out, it would have been very easy.

However, he had to stay inside for the time being and stir the outside world with their speculations. With the support of the media, his image would be plastered negatively and the Rae family would inevitably be eager to get rid of him.

When Valerie left the detention center, Coralie was nowhere in sight.

Over the weekend, Skylar did not reveal anything in the detention center and the police could not replace any more evidence either. The case eventually came to a standstill.

The media, on the other hand, were excited. They analyzed Skylar's interview in the past, word by word, hoping to replace some clues.

Once there was a menial discovery, it would be magnified infinitely.

Therefore, on Monday, the stock of the Holland Group plummeted because of Skylar's incident.

The company held an emergency meeting at once.

Anthony Holland, who was abroad, had no choice but to return to H Country.

Under the pressure of the shareholders, Anthony had to go and meet Skylar.

Anthony's first sentence in the detention center was, "You must get out of here today."

There wasn't any conclusive evidence to prove that the smuggled items belonged to him, so it was easy for him to be released.

However, Skylar had no intention of leaving the detention center.

"That's my business."

The relationship between Skylar and Anthony was neutral.

Anthony had always trained Skylar as a successor, and his requirements to him were much stricter than that of a normal father. This traumatized Skylar during his childhood years.

However, Skylar did not expect that Anthony would return to H Country. After all, his overseas business was huge, and his relationship with Lillian Ford was stiff. Therefore, Anthony tried his best to avoid coming home.

"The shares of Holland group has dropped significantly. The shareholders are chaotic. What's the matter with you?" Anthony's face darkened, "Tell me, what's going on? From your attitude, I'm sure that you're in control of everything. What are you planning?"

Anthony doubted this matter when he first heard of it. He knew his son well.

Now that Skylar was in the detention center, he could see just calm Skylar was. Anthony became even more certain in his reasoning.

"I know what I'm doing."

Of course, Skylar would not tell Anthony about the details.

If he were to tell Anthony that everything was done just so that he could cancel the engagement, and if Anthony were to discover the relationship he had with Coralie, he was not sure what would his father do.

"I don't care what you're planning. I will bail you out later and provide evidence to the police so you could be acquitted. You'd better listen to me."

Anthony had only one purpose, which was to resolve the turmoil and for Skylar return to the company as soon as possible.

Half an hour after that, Skylar was bailed out.

Although Skylar did not say anything, he sent a message to Harvey Felton and Timothy Young, telling them that his father had bailed him out.

After Skylar came out of jail, Anthony did not return home with him. They went to the company first. Anthony wanted to appraise the condition of Skyton Corporation.

It was not until Skylar had arrived at the company that he noticed that Anthony had brought a secretary and an assistant with him.

The secretary was a woman, and Skylar knew that Lillian would be furious at the fact that Anthony had hired a female secretary.

"Hello, Young Master."

Anthony's assistant was called Barrett Yeager. He had been working for Anthony for a long time and he was about ten years older than Skylar. When he saw Skylar, he naturally came to greet him. However, the female secretary remained silent.

"Hello, Uncle Yeager."

Skylar greeted him back.

The young secretary stared at Skylar, but she didn't say anything.

"I remember that Mom doesn't like you hiring a female secretary."

Skylar looked at the secretary who was staring at him. Although he was not an expert in love, he felt very uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Mind your own business."

Anthony scowled, flipping through the documents of the company.

Skylar sat on the side and said nothing. After all, there were no problems with the company's accounts or business development. He was confident about this.

He stood beside Anthony for a while and gradually felt a little bored. Then, he went outside to talk to Jayson Lowell about the company's situation.

However, as soon as he left, the female secretary followed him.

"Young Master Holland."

"Yes?"

Skylar stopped and looked at her. This secretary seemed to be a mixed-blood beauty. Her hair was tied back, like a black waterfall. She had distinctive facial features and she wasn't wearing professional clothes. Instead, she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. It was a casual look.

Anthony had a very high standard for the appearance of those who worked with him. Even on casual occasions, she would anger him if she had dressed like this.

Skylar realized that this woman's identity was special.

"Nothing important. I just want to tell you that my name is Evelyn Simpson."

Evelyn's voice was gentle. It was the kind of voice that most men loved to listen to.

"I'm not interested in your name."

Skylar didn't know what this woman had in her mind. Besides, she seemed to have an unusual relationship with Anthony. That was enough for Skylar to keep her at an arm's length.
