You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 187

The next day.

When Coralie woke up in a daze, it was already the next morning.

She sat on the sofa and looked around quietly. It was not until then that she recalled that she fell asleep

on the previous night while she was waiting for Skylar.

Looking at her room, it seemed that Skylar still hadn't shown up.

After Coralie washed up and put on a light makeup, she left the room.

Instead of worrying that there was something between Skylar and Valerie, she was more concerned NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

about what happened to Skylar.

As she had been working overtime, Coralie was having a day off from work that day. She held the

phone and decided to call Harvey.

After all, Harvey was in a hospital designated by the Holland family. If Skylar was hospitalized because

of an accident, he would definitely be there.

The phone rang for a long time before Harvey answered.

"Dr. Felton, is Skylar with you?"

When the phone was connected, Coralie asked first.

On the other end of the line, Harvey was silent for a long time before he replied, "Yes, you should come

here."

"Come?"

"Yes, come to the hospital."

Coralie could hear that Harvey's voice was a little heavy. She then supposed that something must have

happened!

Did Skylar get into a car accident on the previous day?

Coralie hung up the phone and hastened all the way. As it was peak hour, she could not hail a taxi.

Moreover, she was still some distance away from the nearest subway station. Coralie had no choice

but to run to the nearest subway station as fast as possible.

After two stations, she arrived at Harvey's hospital.

Outside the hospital, the bodyguards in black were standing in several lines, barricading the hospital.

"You can't go in."

Coralie did not care about them. Just when she was about to run inside, she was stopped by the

bodyguards.

"I'm looking for someone."

"Even so, you can't go in."

When the bodyguards were stopping her, Harvey came out and told some of the bodyguards, "She is

President Holland's wife."

Hearing what Harvey said, two bodyguards stepped aside.

When Coralie entered the hospital, she followed Harvey and asked nervously, "Did anything happen to

Skylar?"

She knew that Skylar would never stand people up for no reason.

"Let's go in first."

Harvey didn't say much.

As Coralie followed Harvey along the way, she saw that the corridor was hushed and empty while

Skylar was sitting on a long chair in the hospital. He was facing down, like he was in a lot of pain.

However, when Coralie saw that Skylar was fine, she finally felt at ease.

Just as she was about to walk over, Harvey suddenly pulled her sleeve and said, "At 5:32 a.m. in the

morning, Grandmother Holland passed away."

"What?"

Coralie was stunned. Although she knew that Grandmother Holland had liver cancer, she did not

expect it to be that soon...

It was only about ten days since the last time they met... Why would she suddenly...

Coralie walked over to Skylar and crouched down in front of him. Seeing he was depressed, thinking

that she had even suspected him being with Valerie on the previous day...

She felt she was unreasonable.

"Skylar, I'm sorry I'm late. I didn't know..."

Coralie held Skylar's hand, trying to think of some words to comfort him.

She knew that Grandmother Holland had doted on Skylar since he was a child. He was even closer

with Grandmother Holland than Anthony or Lillian.

Now that Grandmother Holland passed away, he must be the most sorrowful person.

"I broke my promise yesterday."

Skylar looked up at Coralie in front of him and apologized.

On the previous day, when he received a call from the servant at Grandmother Holland's house, he

rushed to the hospital. When he came out of his trance, he realized he had left his phone at the

company.

"It's okay, I..."

Coralie didn't know what to say at that moment.

Skylar had always been so strong. It was the first time she saw him in such a state of despair. Coralie

felt sorry for him and was clueless, didn't know what to do.

......

Coralie accompanied Skylar in the hospital for a day. In the afternoon, Lilian came alone as Elsa,

Queenie, and Anthony were not in the country and couldn't get there in a short time.

It could be said that Grandmother Holland's funeral was magnificent. Coralie attended the funeral as

Grandmother Holland's granddaughter-in-law.

At the funeral, everyone consoled and gave each other support.

It could be said that it was one of the rare occasions where everyone in the Holland family got along

peacefully.

However, that peacefulness felt more like the calm before a storm.

Everyone was having evil intentions.

They were guessing if Grandmother Holland had made her will before she died. Most of them did not

know that Grandmother Holland was in the late stage of liver cancer, they thought she passed away

suddenly.

After all, Grandmother Holland was an elderly, it was very likely that she had made a will.

On the tenth day after the death of Grandmother Holland, which was also the third day after the funeral,

a lawyer responsible for Grandmother Holland's will contacted everyone who had a part in it.

To everyone's surprise, Coralie was also notified.

When Coralie received the notice, she thought everyone would have attended, but when she entered

the conference room, there were only Elsa, Queenie, Anthony, Skylar, and herself.

Skylar was the only grandson of the Holland family. It made sense for him to be there, but she was...

"Why is Coralie here?" Elsa was not happy to see Coralie there, "Isn't this the Holland family's affairs?

How could an outsider like her step her foot in here?"

"She's Skylar's wife, isn't she?"

Queenie was thinking that way.

"So what? Weren't our daughters left out too? Is granddaughter-in-law more important than

granddaughters?"

Elsa was very discontented.

Coralie felt bad too. She poked Skylar, "Skylar, why don't I wait for you outside?"

"Miss Chariott, I've called out people who are involved in the will, there is no need to withdraw

yourself."

The lawyer spoke up when he saw that Coralie wanted to leave.

What he said blew Elsa up!

She slammed the table, "What do you mean? She's named in the will? What does that mean!"

They were covetous of Grandmother Holland's inheritance. They were already dissatisfied with the fact

that they had to share amongst themselves, how could Coralie share it too?

"It's Grandmother Holland's decision. I'm only responsible for disposing it."

The lawyer explained.

"But..."

"That's enough! Let's listen to what the lawyer has to say!"

"Coralie is your family, of course you would say so!"

Elsa showed that she was the most frustrated person with the arrangement.

"Then you should just continue making a fuss here. Why don't you ask mother to come back and

change her will?"

Elsa immediately became quiet when she heard what Anthony said.

Indeed, Grandmother Holland had passed away, her will was also set in stone already.

Coralie sat there, taking in the hostility from the several people in the Holland family as they rolled their

eyes. She could only hide behind Skylar.

The lawyer soon began to read out the inheritance distribution, and most of it was almost the same as

what everyone had guessed.

Coralie only received five percent of Holland Group's shares.

Although no one seemed to protest, as soon as it was over, Elsa's anger finally erupted. She walked

over and grabbed Coralie's cloth, "Coralie, what kind of black magic did you use on my mother? How

could she give you five percent of the stock? Yeah, five percent of the stock is not much, but who are

you to have it?
