You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 315

"Miss Chariott, we haven't seen each other for several years. I thought that ordinary women like you would get old quickly, but I didn't expect you to be in such good shape." Queenie saw that Coralie did not mention anything about her being late, so she continued.

Although her words seemed to sound neutral, they had in fact already given Coralie a hard time.

"Oh please, Auntie Holland. You've thought too highly of me," Coralie replied.

Although Coralie did not know what Queenie was trying to say, she still expressed her modesty to avoid offending Queenie.

"Miss Chariott, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I think you should know why I'm here today."

Queenie saw that since Coralie was so polite to her and did not try to start a fight, she went straight to the point.

"It should be about the matter between my brother and your daughter," Coralie said.

No matter how dense Coralie was, she knew that with Jamie's personality, she would definitely tell her parents about her relationship after the meal that day.

According to Skylar's previous phone call, since Queenie had already arranged for Jamie to marry another person, she wouldn't allow Jamie to act so recklessly anymore.

"Yes." Queenie nodded. First, she ordered a cup of coffee and continued to say, "In fact, my daughter told me about Wayne a long time ago. At that time, they were still in college, so I didn't object to it. I only asked her to think it over. I thought she would eventually be with your brother, but I didn't expect that that was the end of the matter."

Coralie knew about what Queenie had said.

At that time, Wayne told her that he had confessed to Jamie, but then he had never mentioned it again. Coralie knew that he must have failed.

However, later, she had too many things to deal with and couldn't care too much about Wayne, so she didn't know what had happened.

"Yes, I know that," said Coralie.

"Good. In fact, you knew me before, so I think you should also have a rough idea that I am not the kind of bad parent who would force their daughter to marry into a rich family or become a tool for me," Queenie continued.

"I understand that."

While Queenie was talking, Coralie replied to her from time to time to show that she was still listening.

However, Queenie was right. She and Elsa Holland had an entirely different personality. Elsa was rather selfish and would only think about her benefits all the time.

Queenie had interacted with her a few times, especially with the matter of Grandmother Holland's inheritance distribution last time. She didn't voice anything when Grandmother Holland gave Coralie 5% of the shares, and Coralie was very grateful to her.

"However, during the time when my daughter was single, your brother didn't contact her or make any real moves. Instead, when I had already arranged a blind date for Jamie and they were moving toward the stage of engagement, your brother took it upon himself to say that he liked Jamie. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Queenie spoke word by word, reasonable and rational.

"You're right," replied Coralie.

Coralie wanted to hear what Queenie had to say before she thought about how to deal with it.

"I've already discussed this with her fiance's family. Now, my daughter is making a fuss and trying to break off the engagement, saying that she won't marry anyone else except Wayne. If this continues, our Holland family will definitely be looked down on by others. I hope that you can go back and persuade your brother not to do anything meaningless. If he wants money, we can consider giving him some, but advise him to let Jamie go."

Queenie finished all her words in one breath.

Coralie listened and waited for a while. After confirming that Queenie had nothing to add, she said, "Auntie Holland, I'm Wayne's sister. I can convey your words to Wayne, but I can't make a decision for him. I'm sorry."

"You're his elder. Why can't you decide for him?" Hearing Coralie's words, Queenie felt that she was very irresponsible and immediately spiraled into displeasure. She said, "Jamie has been wasting her time with Wayne for about six or seven years, since her sophomore year. It wasn't easy for her to agree to go on a blind date. Now that they're engaged, why should he pop up again? What has he been doing in the past six or seven years? To be honest, the reason why I objected is that I think Wayne is utterly unreliable."

Queenie doted on her daughter and loved her. While she respected her daughter's decisions, she also hoped that she could choose a decent husband.

She didn't want her daughter to be miserable in the future.

"Auntie Holland, I can vouch that Wayne is a good man. He will be responsible for his behavior and he will treat Jamie well. Maybe his business is still in the making, but he will improve and become better." Coralie tried her best to speak for Wayne.

"Coralie, don't be in such a hurry to speak for him. I advise you to talk to Wayne. If you insist on it, I won't be so nice next time." Queenie drank the coffee in front of her and said, "I am just a mother who wants my daughter to be happy."

After she said that, she left.

Coralie knew that there was nothing to compete between her family and the Holland family.

However, she did not wish to make a decision on behalf of her brother.

Coralie stayed for a while before returning home.

When she got home, Wayne had already arrived home. Coralie relayed to him a part of Queenie's words.

After hearing this, Wayne sat on the sofa and looked at his phone in a daze. He suddenly said, "I couldn't contact Jamie all day today. With her character, she'll definitely contact me. I wonder if their family has locked her up."

"Heaven forbid," she said immediately after hearing Wayne's pessimistic thought. "Although Queenie doesn't like you, it's mainly because she assumed that you can't give Jamie a happy life, but she's a good mother, she won't go that far."

"But..." Wayne wanted to say something but then he changed, "Then I will contact her at night. I will also work hard to prove to her parents that I can guarantee her a happy life!"

Wayne and Jamie had just begun their romantic relationship, and everything they did now was brimming with enthusiasm.

After Coralie chatted with Wayne at night, she tucked Hendric into bed before she went to Skylar's house in a taxi.

Because Skylar lived in the Golden Town by himself and had no servants to tend to him, Coralie was very worried about him.

She stayed in Skylar's villa for an entire day. On Saturday night, Coralie received a call from Wayne.

"Coralie, I really can't reach Jamie. Could you ask if Skylar if Jamie has been grounded by her family?" he asked worriedly. "You still can't get in touch with her?" Coralie repeated.

"Yeah," he said.

It was not until this moment that Coralie realized that Wayne might have been right.

She glanced at Skylar, who was working next to her, and thought for a moment before saying, "Let me just ask for you."

After hanging up the phone, Coralie did not ask Skylar directly but hid in the bathroom first and called Queenie.

She memorized Queenie's number the last time she called her.
