You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 295

In her heart, Valerie comforted herself over and over again. "No one knows about that incident, no one knows about that incident."

The incident she referred to was when she ran away after hitting Coralie's father with her car. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Originally, she thought that the matter had passed and would never resurface again. However, coincidentally, the victim had actually been Coralie's father. "Valerie, what's wrong with you?"

Lillian saw that Valerie was being unenthusiastic with her help and immediately became unhappy, and it showed on her darkened face.

"I'm okay, Auntie Ford."

It was only then that Valerie realized she was with Lillian now. In fact, she hadn't seen Lillian for a while. She didn't expect that Lillian would suddenly ask her to grab a meal together.

Lillian didn't pry about her behavior just now but instead asked, "Valerie, how have you been recently? I heard a few days ago that you are in a relationship with the Young Master of the Zac family?"

Now that Skylar was faring better, Lilian was blithely leeching off his achievement. All the ladies in the community flattered her and sent a lot of gifts to butter her up.

She was indeed living a great life now.

"No..." Valerie replied. She was smart. When Lillian mentioned it, her eyes immediately turned red and tears started to well up in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lilian asked immediately.

"To be honest, ever since I knew that Skylar was steadfast in his love for Coralie, I decided to give up on him. Plus, I am not young anymore. My parents wanted me to marry Jasper, and he treats me well too. thought I should go ahead with their plan, but I didn't expect..."

Tears dropped down Valerie's cheek as she spoke.

She was ingenious at convincing Lilian that marrying Jasper was not her purpose at all. It was instead because of her age and the pressure from her parents, and besides, Jasper treated her well too. She made it seem like Skylar was the main reason that she was together with Jasper.

"Didn't expect what? What happened?" Lilian asked curiously.

"Amenda refused to acknowledge me as the Zac family's daughter-in-law because of my leg disability. She didn't agree with the marriage between me and Jasper, so Jasper asked Coralie to persuade his mom."

"Why Coralie?"

Lillian clearly didn't know about the relationship between Coralie and the Zac family.

"Well, you probably don't know that, but Coralie is Houston's child with his mistress. Jasper thought that Coralie was a member of the Zac family too, and he wanted her to talk to Amenda. However, Coralie stabbed me in the back by saying that I had caused her miscarriage. Amenda wouldn't agree to my marriage with Jasper."

Valerie whined and sobbed.

She knew what ticked Lillian off the most: a mistress. She didn't allow Anthony to hire a female secretary because she was afraid that he would cheat on her. Valerie deliberately made up some story to make Lillian despise Coralie even more.

She was the same age as Coralie this year, 30 years old. She was not young anymore. In addition, her leg was injured when she schemed against Coralie last time. Looking at her current condition, Skylar was probably her best choice.

When Lillian heard Valerie's words, she was immediately agitated. She said, "No wonder; the mistress's child would turn out to be a mistress too. You had a good relationship with Skylar at first. If it wasn't for her interference, would the both of you end up like this?"

She said, sighs punctuating her sentences, "I...actually I didn't have any relationship with Skylar at that time, but Coralie's mother was different. I heard from Jasper that her mother knew that Houston had a wife and a son in his hometown, but she still slept with Houston for the sake of money. When she was pregnant later, she wanted to threaten him with her child. Who knew that she gave birth to a daughter, so she had no choice but to throw the child away."

In fact, Valerie only knew the bare minimum of what happened that year; it was Jasper who told her about it.

Now, she was only spinning stories to get Lilian's sympathy.

However, this move was actually an effective bait for Lilian.

"It'll be fine! Even if the Zac family refused you, our Holland family wants you. Skyton Corporation is not any worse than the Zac family now!" Lillian said. She looked at the crying Valerie, grabbed her hand and said, "You are my daughter-in-law, a mistress like Coralie will never replace her way into our family!"

"Auntie Ford!" Valerie cried and threw herself into Lillian's arms. "You are so kind to me. If I ever become your daughter-in-law, I will definitely repay you."

The atmosphere in the room was harmonious.

Lillian was relieved when she heard Valerie's words. She sighed and said, "Silly child, why did you think I asked you to come here today? Now is the time when Skylar needs you the most."

"Needs me?"

Valerie raised her face and looked at Lillian with her beautiful eyes.

"Skylar's too stubborn. He didn't tell me anything. However, last time when his secretary went home to fetch some things for him, I accidentally saw his report. It was then that I knew that Skylar had broken his leg."

Lillian told her and sighed deeply.

"He broke his leg?" Valerie thought that Lillian's so-called leg injury was only a fracture, so she immediately volunteered and said, "Then he must be having trouble with his daily life now. I can take care of him. Besides, I also have experience in this aspect. After all, I was ill and had gone through physiotherapy before."

"Okay, great!"

It hadn't occurred to Lilian that Valerie had misunderstood things.

"Auntie Ford, which hospital is Skylar in now? I'll go to visit him soon!"

Valerie felt that she had won a big prize. She was so excited that she wanted to fly to Skylar's place immediately.

"This child has such pride. He is now in a rehabilitation centre in the suburbs. He rented the whole rehabilitation centre and is alone there," Lilian told her.

"Okay, please send me the address. I'll go there tomorrow!"

"Okay. Valerie, Skylar has been keeping it a secret until now. If he hadn't been found out by me and I hadn't grilled him on it, he wouldn't have told me, so this is a good opportunity for you."

In fact, Lillian was also worried about Skylar's marriage and was desperately yearning for a grandson. The rich ladies in her community had all become grandmothers.

Skylar was obviously the most outstanding one among all the children. Until now, she didn't even have a daughter-in-law, never mind having a grandchild. Lillian felt that she lacked something to show off, so she thought that Valerie should quickly give birth to a smart child with Skylar so that she could show it off.

Skylar's rehabilitation centre was far away from the city in a very remote place on a mountain. Early the next morning, Valerie packed up a few clothes and asked the driver to bring her there.

After arriving at the place, Valerie found that the door to the rehabilitation centre was closed.

She had knocked on the door for a long time before a nurse came over and asked her, "Who are you looking for?" "Hi, I'm here to see Skylar Holland," Valerie said.

The nurse was surprised when she heard that Valerie was looking for Skylar.

Skylar mentioned that he hadn't told anybody that he was undergoing rehabilitation there.
