Houston had such thought.
Although Coralie was Madison's daughter, Zac Group had been looking for an opportunity to establish its business in A City. That development project was indeed a rare opportunity.
Houston thought for a moment and then looked at the time. Then, he decided to ring Coralie.
After all, he had to tell her a lot of things so that she could be mentally prepared.
When the phone call was made, Coralie was just driven out of the house by Skylar.
"Hello."
Houston used his personal number to call, Coralie didn't know whose number it was.
"Coralie, it's me."
Hearing Houston's voice, Coralie immediately became excited, "Hello."
Hearing Coralie's voice, Houston paused and said, "I just discussed with the shareholders of the company. Well, we have found a company who is willing to invest in Skyton Corporation."
"Really?"
Coralie was over the moon when she heard that.
Although Skylar treated her that way just now, she couldn't give up on Skylar.
"However, this company is owned by Watson Group. Watson Group is a large corporation abroad."
Houston didn't want to give Coralie false hope, he had to tell her about the marriage.
"Go ahead."
"I met the people from Watson Group before. Although they agreed to it, they requested for an arranged marriage with Zac family, but I don't have a daughter."
Houston's words could not be more obvious!
Unless Coralie was stupid, she would understand what he meant.
"Pres, President Zac..." Coralie stammered, "You know that, I am Skylar's wife... I..."
Coralie never expected she was the bargaining chip for that investment.
However, after giving it some thought, why should someone invest in Skyton Corporation? She had nothing left but herself...
"I know, but this is the other party's offer. It doesn't matter if dont agree, but this investment will be..."
Houston also understood that Coralie was in a dilemma.
He didn't want to force Coralie, but he knew better than Coralie that it might be the best chance for Skyton Corporation.
"President Zac, actually I divorced once before I married Skylar. So, my marriage with Skylar is my second marriage. Watson Group must be a big family. How could it be possible for a woman like me to be married into such a family?"
When she married Skylar, Lillian had already made a commotion.
Moreover, Coralie was hoping that by belittling herself, the other party would reconsider.
"I know, but Watson Group is a foreign company. They are different with us, they don't care about it."
Listening to Houston's explanation, Coralie stood still, didn't know what to do.
Her hand was trembling while holding the phone.
After thinking for a while, he said to Houston, "President Zac, I, I'll think about it."
"Okay, this is my personal number. Let me know when you made up your mind."
Houston did not force her.
Coralie hung up the phone, turned around, and went back to the outside of the villa. She stood under the window of Skylar's study and looked at the faint light from the study.
She felt excruciatingly sad.
She stood there and watched until the lights went off in the middle of the night. Then, Coralie turned around and left.
When Coralie returned home, it was already late at night. Wayne and Hera were already asleep.
She curled up on the bed and covered her head in the quilt, but her hands couldn't stop trembling. Tears ran down from the corners of her eyes, dampening a large part of the pillow.
