You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 188

"It's Grandma's decision."

When Skylar saw Elsa's reaction, he did not care about the fact that she was an elder. He pulled Elsa's hand away and stood in front of Coralie.

"My mother had always been biased toward you and your father. When did she ever care about us and Queenie? I'm not satisfied with the distributions!" Elsa was shouting.

Queenie stood aside and looked at them. Although she wasn't saying anything, her expression showed that she agreed with Elsa.

"If you're not happy about it, you can talk to the lawyer. It's useless to talk to us."

After Skylar said that, he held Coralie and left.

As expected, they received the lawyer's phone call the next day, saying that Elsa and Queenie objected to the distribution of the will and asked for an appeal. Coralie felt a little guilty. After she knew about it, she spoke to Skylar, "Skylar, is it because of the five percent of my shares? Shall I just give it to them?"

Coralie felt that those things did not belong to her anyway.

"You don't have to. Since Grandma gave it to you, you should just keep it."

If the 5% was sold, it was a lot of money. However, it would be nothing if it was just shares.

The issue of the Holland family's inheritance went on for a month, everyone in the Holland family were involved in a lawsuit.

They were an esteemed family in A City, but they became the topic of gossip.

During that month, as Skylar had a project going on in March, he had to also simultaneously take the time to deal with the lawsuit, even Coralie could only see him on TV. Skylar had been staying at the company, he didn't even go back to home.

There were reporters surrounding the company.

However, during those days, it was not Skylar's assistant, Jayson, who stayed for the longest time in the company every single day. It was Valerie.

Everyone knew that Valerie liked Skylar, so no one was suspicious about that.

"Brother Skylar, today's stock price..."

At one night, Valerie saw that Skylar was still dealing with the development project, so she made him a cup of coffee.

"I know. You don't have to worry about it."

Skylar was agitated. The company's stock was a ticking bomb planted at the bottom of his heart.

The Holland family was a big family in A City. Hence, whenever they got into trouble, a lot of families would be affected. Now that they were engaged in a lawsuit, the share price of Holland Group's companies had plummeted abruptly. The shareholders were anxious, forcing them to come up with a solution.

On Skyton Corporation's side, the pressure was so great that Skylar was on at the verge of collapse.

Now, he put all his hope on the development project in March. If they managed to get it, not only he would be able to restore Skyton Corporation, but the business would also grow bigger.

Therefore, Skyton Corporation had to take over that project. It was the only ideal solution.

"Brother Skylar, if you marry me, my father can help you."

Valerie stood aside and said quietly.

She knew that Skylar was at his most vulnerable right now. If he married her, he could get support from the Rae family. It was clearly a shortcut...

Upon hearing what Valerie said, Skylar raised his head and looked at Valerie in front of him.

She kept herself in a tip-top condition every time. She would always dress up and put on exquisite makeup.

However, there was coldness in Skylar's eyes that he couldn't hide, "It's time to get off work. You should go back now."

It was obvious that he was having a hard time, but Skylar was reluctant to marry her. She couldn't help saying, "Brother Skylar, where is Coralie when you're in such a difficult times? What can she do for you? She will only become your burden and drag you down. Only I can help you, only the Rae family can help you!"

"That's our business."

Skylar put down his pen and then pinched his nose bridge, resting his eyes.

"If Skyton Corporation falls, you are going to have a lot of debts. Let's see if Coralie wants to be with you then!"

"That's still our business."

When Skylar uttered the word 'our', it was obvious that he was trying to draw a line, Valerie couldn't stay calm anymore.

She clenched her fists, looking at the man in front of her, who she had always thought was hers. She couldn't conceal the cruelty and anger in her eyes anymore, "You will regret this!"

After that, she turned around and scurried out of the president's room.

When Valerie arrived downstairs, she dialed a number, "I want you to kill Coralie. You can get anything you want!"

The person on the other end of the line was stunned and then said, "You should just ruin Skylar."

"No, I can't ruin him!"

Valerie's first reaction was refuse.

She clearly wouldn't want to destroy Skylar. In fact, she couldn't bear seeing Skylar going through such a difficult time. He could just marry her and everything would be solved, but Skylar insisted on solving it himself!

"Miss Rae, isn't there a saying that you can never defeat a deceased? Don't you think so?"

After listening to that, Valerie was stunned. However, she still said, "But if she is dead, she wouldn't be able to compete with me!"

The person on the other end of the line realized how determined she was, so he began speaking his own mind, "Skyton Corporation is going to compete for a government project in March. Send me a copy of the project details, from the proposal to the stakes. As long as he failed to get it, Skyton Corporation would be defeated. After that, Skylar would be nothing more than an ordinary person. Oh no, maybe even worse than ordinary people."

"That's not good. Brother Skylar has put in a lot of effort into this project... Not only him, some of the managers have been working with him overtime every day. I can't..."

Valerie was still slightly hesitant.

She could harm Coralie, but she couldn't bear to do it to Skylar.

"Miss Rae, it's not too late for me to kill Coralie after this matter. But before that, you have to show enough sincerity."

After speaking, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

Valerie looked at the screen of the phone and was at a loss.

She took the car home. Although it was late, Amelia wasn't asleep yet. She was waiting for her to come back.

When she saw Valerie at home, Amelia asked a servant to bring her a bowl of bird's nest. She said pitifully, "Girl, Jasper treats you so well, why must it be Skylar? You must know what's going on in the Holland family, you'd better stay away from them."

Everyone in A city was in a crisis, Hector naturally did not want Valerie to marry Skylar, so he specially asked Amelia to persuade her.

"Mom, if Skyton Corporation fell apart, would Brother Skylar marry me?"

Valerie held the bowl of bird's nest, looking at Amelia.

She had been considering that problem along the ride. If Skylar had nothing left, other people would certainly keep a distance from him. If he could regain his status by marrying Valerie, would he do it?

"If it falls apart, he will come begging for you. When men have no money, dignity is all they have. When they have no money, they will realize that dignity is worthless." After Amelia finished saying that, she only realized why Valerie had asked her that question and immediately warned her, "Don't you think about it. Even if Skyton Corporation goes bankrupt, your father won't let you marry him."
