When Coralie Chariott returned home, she saw Wayne Chariott and Hera Jean in the living room.
"How is Skylar?"
As soon as she entered the door, she was first greeted with a question from Wayne, regarding Skylar.
After all, Skylar had suffered a serious injury that day.
"He's had a successful operation, but he still needs to rest for two days."
Coralie's mind was in a mess because of her job transfer.
Although her mother was receiving retirement pay, it was only a meager amount. Wayne was still in university. He could take care of his living expenses with his scholarship and his part-time job, but they would not be able to cover the tuition fees.
At this moment, Coralie was really glad that she still had the money that was given by Skylar last year. Otherwise, her family might have to scrape by on the breadline.
"Coralie, is this my fault? I was at my wits' end that day, so I sent him an email with your computer."
Coralie patted his shoulder, "No, maybe things would end up messier with Howard if Skylar hadn't arrived at the nick of time."
"Then... is the Holland family treating you badly? If they don't like you, you don't have to be with Skylar. When I graduate, I will support you and Mom."
Wayne patted his chest and promised.
"Where did you hear these? This is between me and him. You're still young, don't involve yourself with this."
Coralie smiled unnaturally. She put on her coat and had the urge to flee from everything.
Whether it was work or the matter with the Holland family, Coralie felt that this was her own business and she should resolve them all by herself. She wanted to keep Wayne and Hera out of this.
"Coralie," Wayne pulled her, "Do you remember the senior whom I had told you before? When she saw your photo that day, she told me that Skylar was her cousin. She was the one who filled me in, and I know how the Holland family had treated you badly."
"Senior? Is she Skylar's cousin?"
Coralie frowned.
She remembered that Wayne had told her about his senior before, and they had a good relationship. Even though Wayne hadn't come clean about his admiration, she could see that he liked his senior.
"Yeah. Her name is Jamie George. She said that she had seen you before."
As soon as she heard her name, a thought sprung into Coralie's mind.
When Grandmother Holland was discharged from the hospital, she came across a girl with short hair. Different from the others in the Holland family, Jamie showed a good attitude towards her.
"It's her..."
"You do remember her, right? A few days ago, I confessed to her thanks to your encouragement. She told me that she would consider it."
When Wayne was talking about this, his handsome face was slightly flushed, looking exactly like a young boy speaking about his first love.
However, when Coralie heard this, she got slightly concerned. After all, Jamie was Skylar's cousin. She asked, "Is their family wealthy and reputable?"
Coralie didn't know much about the rich families in A city.
However, if Jamie's family turned out to be equally rich, her parents would probably not be much different from Lillian Ford.
They must have made plans for their daughter.
Coralie couldn't figure it out. A City was so big, and it was never short of girls. Why did Wayne have to fall in love with Skylar's cousin?
"No way? I don't know much about it either. She never mentions it."
"Is that so?"
Skylar did not mention his family during their university days either. At that time, she had foolishly assumed that Skylar was just an ordinary person who was slightly more outstanding than his peers.
