Coralie had no choice but to turn her head at her, but she still kept her head low.
Xenia Lowell's grandfather was less adamant. He only said, "It's okay. Do you prefer cash or bank transfer?"
"I want cash!"
As soon as Coralie heard this, she answered immediately.
However, at this time, Xenia saw her. She looked at Coralie and said incredulously, "You look like a friend of mine... You guys are two peas in a pod, and she also had a bracelet."
Xenia lowered her head to look closely at Coralie. The more she looked at her, the more she found that this woman in front of her, was Coralie in actuality!
"Coralie! You're Coralie, aren't you? You're not dead? You're alive?"
Xenia scrutinized Coralie thoroughly. Based on what she said just now, and this emerald bracelet...
She had no doubt that the woman was Coralie!
Coralie was recognized by Xenia. If it was on another occasion, she would definitely walk away in an instant, but now she had to stay if she wanted to sell the bracelet to Xenia's grandfather.
"I'm sorry, I'm not dead."
Coralie said as she lifted her head helplessly.
When the boss saw that Coralie actually knew Xenia, he quickly flattered her and asked, "Would you people like to talk inside?"
As he spoke, he opened the door of the pawnshop and let the three of them in.
The reception room in the pawnshop was rather unique.
There were glass cabinets on all four walls of the reception room, and various things were displayed inside them.
When Xenia's grandfather was checking out those things, Xenia pulled Coralie and asked her, "At that time, I saw that you committed suicide on TV. I found it hard to believe. I was right..."
"Well, I had no choice."
Coralie said, embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you Skylar's wife? Do you know? In the past two years, Skyton Corporation has been reaching for the sky. He's even more powerful than he used to be. Why can't you ask him for help? Why are you pawning your bracelet?"
In the past two years in A city, Xenia, as the granddaughter of the Lowell family, knew about these things. She watched as Skyton Corporation fell apart and then it was faring better again, until it achieved its success today.
However, Coralie didn't know any of these.
"I can't go to him and I don't know how to face him."
Other than not knowing how to face him, she also felt sorry for the ten-fold compensation.
However, in order to deceive Yohan, she had had no choice but to lie to him and to everyone else. Now that Hendric had leukaemia, Coralie did not know whether Skylar would forgive her if she went to see him in this way.
"That's true... In fact, Skyton Corporation has been developing very well recently. Now the Internet says that he is engaged to Sabella Jakeman, the daughter of the head of the Commercial Union. They show up together on many public occasions."
Xenia said as she took out her mobile phone and searched the news for Coralie.
She thrived on the Internet. She literally looked at her mobile phone all the time.
Xenia showed Coralie the photos of Skylar and Sabella on her mobile phone. Coralie looked at the photo, at the clear image of Skylar on the screen.
They hadn't seen each other for more than two years, but Skylar was still the same. He was still handsome and mature.
She couldn't help reaching out her fingers to touch the man in the photo, and her heart ached.
Coralie had always thought that as long as she had Hendric beside her, nothing else would matter. As long as Skylar was fine, she would be content.
However, when she saw Skylar's photo and saw him standing next to another woman, she still couldn't help but feel crestfallen. The pain was more than she could bear.
Despite this, Coralie still said, "As long as he is fine, it'll all be good."
He was doing well, and everything she had done was worth it.
"Ah, you, why are you pretending to be dead? Now, if you are in need of money, just tell me. I will help you. I mean, I don't have anything else but money."
