You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 152

Evelyn Simpson was a mixed-blood who had grown up abroad.

Most men abroad would respond when an attractive woman like Evelyn introduced herself.

From the moment when Anthony Holland and Skylar Holland came in, Evelyn's gaze had never left Skylar. Therefore, when he left the room, she wanted to express her admiration for him.

However, she didn't expect Skylar to treat her coldly in return.

"Skylar, you're out! That's great."

At this time, Valerie Rae had come up to them. When she saw Skylar coming out of the office, she immediately scurried over.

"Yes."

Skylar's attitude towards Valerie was no better than how he had treated Evelyn.

He was only focusing on asking Jayson Lowell about the company's situation for the past few days. Thus, he walked past the two women and headed into Jayson's office.

After he left, Valerie and Evelyn glanced at each other and returned to their respective offices.

......

In the evening, Lillian Ford had prepared a welcome feast for Anthony.

When Skylar and Anthony rushed to the restaurant from the company, they found Lilian and Valerie sitting in the room.

As soon as they came in, Valerie greeted them politely, "Uncle Holland, I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't changed at all."

"Valerie, you're getting more and more beautiful."

Anthony returned the compliment.

The relationship between the Holland family and the Rae family was good from the very beginning, and Skylar and Valerie often spent time together when they were children. Hence, he was not surprised that Valerie was there.

"Honey, Valerie is your daughter-in-law now," Lillian got up and arranged for Anthony to sit in the main seat, "They were supposed to hold an engagement ceremony on October 29, but we canceled it because of the things that had happened to Skylar."

Anthony looked at Skylar, his son's cold expression remained unmoved. He knew that Skylar was not happy about the engagement.

When Skylar heard Lillian's words, he said, "Mom, since the engagement ceremony has been canceled, we should stop talking about it. Otherwise, people are going to misunderstand."

What he was annoyed most was not the Rae family or Valerie. Instead, it was Lillian who kept claiming one-sidedly that Valerie was her daughter-in-law.

"Skylar, did my father say something to you? I know that you are looking for me, but please believe in my feelings for you. No matter what happens, I am willing to be with you and believe in you."

Valerie was taking advantage of Anthony's presence to showcase her loyalty.

Anthony was most likely the person to make the final decision on the matters of the Holland family.

Lillian did not tell Anthony about the engagement between Valerie and Skylar as she was afraid that he wouldn't agree to it.

"Look, Skylar, where else would you get a good girl like Valerie?"

Lillian kept praising her.

Anthony saw that Valerie was very considerate of Skylar, thus, he asked, "Is there any new project under the Rae family in A city recently?"

"Well... I don't know much about it. I heard from my father that he has just gotten a greening urban engineering project in A City."

Valerie knew that Anthony was a businessman who valued money.

His ideal daughter-in-law was completely different from Lillian's. He wanted to see if she could be helpful to the Holland family.

"Really? It seems that the Rae Group is faring well."

Anthony nodded and said.

An urban engineering project, especially a greening project, was a popular project that many corporates were after. This had also proved the status of the Rae family in A city.

"I heard my father talking about this last time. I don't know any more than that. After all, I don't know much about my father's business."
