Skylar looked at it for a long time. Out of curiosity, he walked over at last.

Since Coralie had sent the letter from here, it meant that she stayed nearby before. This place was far from her house, the company, or any other places. Why did she come here?

Skylar went up to the second floor and knocked on the door.

After a while, an old lady opened the door.

"Hello, grandma."

When Skylar spoke, he couldn't help but look into the house. The things in the house were old furniture from decades ago. It could be said that the skirt did not fit in well with the furniture in this house. Considering the fact that someone was here looking for Coralie a few days ago, the old lady's first reaction when she saw Skylar was to deny everything, "No, no, please leave."

It was very strange to see the old lady behaving like this. Skylar asked, "Grandma, was Coralie Chariott here before?"

"I've told you, no."

The old lady was about to close the door.

Skylar saw her reaction and was even more certain that Coralie had been here before. He blocked at the door, and because of the difference in their strength, the old lady could not close the door at all. Skylar apologized and expressed his intention, "Grandma, don't get me wrong. I am Coralie's husband."

Hearing this, the old lady who was about to close the door, stopped in her act. She looked at Skylar with a sad expression and said, "What are you doing here after she is dead?"

After saying that, she didn't try to close the door anymore. It meant that she allowed Skylar to come in.

After Skylar entered the house, he looked at Coralie's skirt hanging there and asked, "Can you tell me what happened before?"

He was very polite to the old lady.

The old lady sat on the bench and looked at the skirt. She let out a long sigh and told Skylar about what happened to Coralie that day.

When Skylar knew that Coralie was chased and had injured herself along her way here, he was full of regret. He blamed himself, "I'm the one who failed to protect her."

According to the old lady's recount, Skylar was sure that the people who chased Coralie were Yohan's men.

The old lady stood up and slowly picked up Coralie's skirt from the balcony. She handed it to Skylar. "Originally, I thought the girl might visit me after her death. I was afraid that she couldn't replace me, so I hung her clothes there. Now that you are here, I shall give them back to you."

Skylar took the clothes and said, "Grandma, you have helped my wife. I will pay for your stay at the nursing home so your future life can be taken care of."

Although Skylar didn't know why Yohan's men would chase after Coralie and why Coralie would run away, there was no doubt that this old lady had helped Coralie.

The old lady shook her head, "No, I am so old now, and I'm used to living here alone. However, thank you for your kindness."

Skylar wanted to continue saying something, but his phone rang at this time. It was a call from Wayne.

"Brother Skylar, can you come to my house? Yohan and his men are going to take away my sister's belongings."

When the phone was connected, Wayne said on the other end of the phone.

"Wait for me," Skylar said.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Skylar raced his car to the Chariott's house.

He had intended to ask Yohan what he wanted to do. He wanted to know why he chased after Coralie.

If Coralie was really forced to her death, then there was a great chance Yohan was the person responsible.

When Skylar arrived at the Chariott family, he saw two bodyguards blocking at the door.

Skylar did not say anything but went up to them immediately. Although the bodyguards Yohan hired were all tall and strong men, Skylar had been trained in martial arts since his childhood. Even when he had been busy with the company's business in recent years, he did not leave his training behind.

He was fighting them outside, and at the same time, Wayne was also doing his job in the house. After the both of them had taken down all the bodyguards, Yohan and another bodyguard had almost finished packing up all of Coralie's stuff.

"Put them down."

Skylar went in, stretched his body, and ordered the bodyguard and Yohan to put Coralie's belongings down.

Yohan looked at Wayne who was helping Skylar. He then put on a sad expression and said, "Oh my brother-in-law, why are you helping an outsider?"

"Pfftt, who is your brother-in-law? My brother-in-law is Brother Skylar!"

Wayne was neutral towards Yohan at first, but today he came in and robbed Coralie's relic without saying anything. He was utterly repulsed by it.

After all, Coralie was dead. Her things must belong to the Chariott family. Even though Hera was in the hospital now, she would certainly stop Yohan from taking the things away if she was at home. "They are divorced. Your sister is now my wife," Yohan said.

"We don't acknowledge it!" Wayne fired back.

"So what? I have the prenuptial agreement she signed."

Yohan had nothing to fear, so he let his bodyguard take Coralie's things away.

"Put it down!"

When Skylar saw that the bodyguard was about to go out, he kicked at his leg and he stumbled to the ground.

"Piece of sh*t!" Yohan said. He glanced at the bodyguard with disdain and then said to Skylar, "President Holland, are you curious as to why Coralie would commit suicide out of the blue?"

"Yes."

Skylar held the bodyguard with both his hands to prevent him from running away, and then he looked up at Yohan.

"Skylar, it's you who forced her to her death."

Yohan looked at Skylar with hatred, anger, the most terrifying of all, jealousy.

He walked up to Skylar. Skylar got up and kicked the bodyguard twice to stop him from running away for the time being. Then he looked into Yohan's eyes and asked, "What did you say?" "Do you know why Coralie committed suicide?" Yohan asked again.

"Why?"

Yohan drew his lips close to Skylar's ear and whispered, "She married me for you, and in order to marry me, she had to get rid of the child. She committed suicide as a resistance to it." Yohan's words stunned Skylar.

The next second, his waist felt cold. Yohan took out a pistol from his pocket and pressed it at Skylar's waist. He looked at him with a horrible gaze and said, "If it wasn't for you, Coralie wouldn't have committed suicide. It's all because of you. You are the person who shouldn't have appeared."

"Shut up!"

Skylar quickly clenched Yohan's neck with one of his hands.

Without hesitation, Yohan shot him at his abdomen to protect himself.

"Bang!"

Although it was attached with a sound suppressor, the sound was not low.

Wayne was stupefied on the spot as he called out, "Brother Skylar!"

However, Skylar did not care about it at all. He directly grabbed Yohan's wrist and forced him to put down the pistol. The two of them were caught up in a mad brawl.

Perhaps because Skylar had just known the truth of Coralie's death, he was greatly provoked. Although he was injured, it was obvious that he had the upper hand in his fight with Yohan.

At this time, the bodyguard next to him also stood up. In order to help Skylar, Wayne tried his best to restrain the bodyguard.

Skylar pressed Yohan down on the ground and punched him repeatedly in the face. His killing desire was boiling. He said as he punched him with all his strength, "Leonardo, you're going to die for Coralie today!"

"Well, that's not bad. I'll go to hell and continue to look for her."

Upon hearing Yohan's words, Skylar was even angrier. He looked at Yohan, whose face was covered in blood, and strangled his neck again. "You dare to!"

"Police! Don't move!" Suddenly, a voice was heard.

When the few people in the room were still fighting, seven or eight policemen with guns rushed out of the lift and went straight into the room, subduing everyone in the room.
