Coralie's heart was a mess when she called Houston on the phone.
She could not think of how she should address Houston anymore.
Houston, who was on the other end of the line, heard Coralie was silent. Then, he asked, "You and Skylar..."
"I'm divorced."
Coralie's voice was extremely calm.
However, only she knew that she felt like a piece of her heart had been dug out when she got the divorce certificate.
Even breathing was painful.
"Divorced?"
Hearing her answer, Houston was a little surprised.
After all, a few days ago, Coralie still acted like she had a good relationship with Skylar. How could they divorce so soon?
Was it because Coralie was willing to sacrifice? Or did Skylar give up on his wife for the company?
"Yes, President Zac. I know it's difficult, but I still hope that out of respect for my mother, you can schedule a meeting for me with the people from Watson Group as soon as possible."
Coralie changed the topic.
At that time, she cleverly mentioned 'her mother'. Of course, she was referring to Madison Carter.
After all, despite the fact that Houston and Coralie were blood-related, they were nothing to each other. Coralie could only use Madison if she wanted to sway Houston, hoping that Houston could keep an eye on that matter.
Bringing up Madison, as expected, Houston quickly said, "I know. I will arrange a meeting for you with them as soon as possible."
"Then, when we meet, we can also talk about the investment in Skyton Corporation..."
Coralie felt that she was impertinent, but she had no choice.
After all, one more day the matter was delayed, one more day Skylar would have to drink for Skyton Corporation. Coralie only hoped that she could do her best to avoid things like that that.
However, she didn't know that Houston was more eager to get things settled than her.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment and let you know."
Houston promised her, but there was a hint of cunningness in his expression.
After hanging up the phone, Houston immediately called Yohan and made an appointment.
The appointment was set three days later. It was a Saturday, at a hidden clubhouse in A City.
Coralie felt that since she was going to meet the man she had to marry, so out of courtesy, she put on light makeup and a set of proper clothes. Then, she got into the car Houston had prepared and arrived at the hall.
She entered the hall and saw three people sitting in a small room.
They were Houston, Jasper, and a foreigner.
Coralie looked over. Judging by the foreigner's face, he looked to be in his forties. He was not young anymore. She guessed that was the man she was going to marry.
Although she felt very reluctant, thinking that for Skylar, even if it was an old man sitting there that day, she would marry him.
"Sorry, I'm late."
She was not late, but as she was the last one to arrive, Coralie apologized politely.
"It's okay. Coralie, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Martin, the CEO of Watson Group Eastern District."
"Nice to meet you."
Coralie was stunned when she heard that, but she still politely greeted Martin and they shook hands.
She looked around the room. There were only four chairs in the room, which meant only those four people would be present that day.
However, it was obvious that Martin was not the person she was going to marry. Did it mean that the person she was going to marry was not going to come that day?
Martin looked at Coralie with a friendly smile and said politely, "Miss Zac, I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to finally see you in person."
That day, Coralie came there as Houston's daughter. Hence, naturally, Martin would address her as Miss Zac.
