You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 151

"That's not true. Of course, a layman like you would say something like that. It's normal for businessmen to use some tactics in business wars. You haven't seen much of the world."

Valerie Rae didn't want to give up and she retorted.

In fact, both of them were actually speaking for Skylar Holland from their own perspective.

"This is different from the tactics you speak of!"

"Isn't it the same, Skylar?"

When Valerie said that, she deliberately turned to ask Skylar, hoping that he would take her side.

However, when she looked over, she noticed that Skylar was sitting there and staring at Coralie through the iron window. There seemed to be some special meaning in his cold eyes.

"Both of you should leave now."

Skylar broke his silence when he saw the two women quarreling. He tried to drive them away.

"Skylar, I..." Valerie didn't expect that he would drive them away. She looked at Coralie and said, "Your presence annoys Skylar."

"I'll go then."

Coralie Chariott originally intended to sit here and talk to Skylar, but she couldn't even gratify such a simple desire.

Since Valerie was here, the whole dynamic was steeping in awkwardness. Their roles were vaguely defined. Perhaps she had no right to stay here.

Coralie left first.

Seeing that Coralie had left, Valerie thought Skylar would feel at ease now. She said, "Skylar, how are you doing in there? Why don't I ask my father to bail you out?"

"There's no need for that. It's nice here."

Skylar got up with Coralie's lunch box in his hand. There was a trace of impatience in his eyes when he looked at Valerie, then, he returned to the detention center.

In fact, if Skylar wanted to be out, it would have been very easy.

However, he had to stay inside for the time being and stir the outside world with their speculations. With the support of the media, his image would be plastered negatively and the Rae family would inevitably be eager to get rid of him.

When Valerie left the detention center, Coralie was nowhere in sight.

......

Over the weekend, Skylar did not reveal anything in the detention center and the police could not find any more evidence either. The case eventually came to a standstill.

The media, on the other hand, were excited. They analyzed Skylar's interview in the past, word by word, hoping to find some clues.

Once there was a menial discovery, it would be magnified infinitely.

Therefore, on Monday, the stock of the Holland Group plummeted because of Skylar's incident.

The company held an emergency meeting at once.

Anthony Holland, who was abroad, had no choice but to return to H Country.

Under the pressure of the shareholders, Anthony had to go and meet Skylar.

Anthony's first sentence in the detention center was, "You must get out of here today."

There wasn't any conclusive evidence to prove that the smuggled items belonged to him, so it was easy for him to be released.

However, Skylar had no intention of leaving the detention center.

"That's my business."

The relationship between Skylar and Anthony was neutral.

Anthony had always trained Skylar as a successor, and his requirements to him were much stricter than that of a normal father. This traumatized Skylar during his childhood years.

However, Skylar did not expect that Anthony would return to H Country. After all, his overseas business was huge, and his relationship with Lillian Ford was stiff. Therefore, Anthony tried his best to avoid coming home.
