When Skylar heard what Jayson said, his expression became even worse. "You believe in such a thing?"
"No," Jayson denied.
"When I went to the club yesterday, I knew the manager was obviously lying, but I don't know who is behind this," Skylar said.
Skylar would only believe in his own guess and judgment in this matter. He never gave others the benefit of the doubt.
However, Jayson did not think so. "President Holland, even if Miss Chariott is still alive all these years, and even if she's powerful, she'll never be able to manipulate the manager into lying for her. That manager is not an ordinary person."
Jayson's analysis was reasonable, but Skylar was unwilling to believe it.
He was holding on to his belief. The person on that day was Coralie, and Marian was lying.
While they were discussing, Sabella Jakeman stood at the door for a long time.
When she met Skylar for the first time, she had decided to marry him. In order to marry him, Sabella had investigated everything about Skylar, whether it be Valerie Rae or Coralie Chariott.
She was positive that Skylar loved Coralie.
In Sabella's opinion, she would never be able to surpass a dead person, but she could try to imitate Coralie.
Sabella listened to them for a long time at the door. Knowing that the two of them were in a stalemate, she pushed the door open and entered. She looked at Skylar and Jayson, then she smiled faintly and said, "It seems that it's not the right time for me to come. I'll go out and wait for a while."
Skylar looked at the time and found that it was not the time to get off work yet.
Sabella knew what he was thinking, so she explained, "The auction is far from here. I'm worried that we'll get caught in a traffic jam on the road, so I wanted to ask if you could leave earlier."
When Jayson saw Skylar talking to Sabella, he put a stop to his words and silently left the office.
Skylar remembered that he had promised to attend the auction with Sabella the previous day.
"Give me a moment," he said.
So far, his work today was almost done. He went to the changing room, switched into a more formal coat, and then left with her.
Today, Sabella was wearing a beige dress with her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her outfit had been adapted based off of Coralie's preferences in the past.
......
Today, Coralie also came to the auction with Xenia Lowell.
Originally, she had had no intention to come here. After all, staying with Hendric was more important than such activities. However, Xenia had been persuading her and said, "At least we should see who's going to get this today. If you regret it someday, you can also buy it back from the person, right?"
In the end, she dragged Coralie all the way here.
Coralie knew that with her financial ability, she would never be able to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to get this bracelet back.
That would just be reaching for the sky.
The people who attended the auction were dressed formally. The men were in suits, and the women were in dresses. Coralie was dragged away by Xenia from the hospital. Thus, she was only wearing an ordinary coat and linen pants, but that made her even more conspicuous in the crowd.
"I'd better leave."
As soon as Coralie entered the auction hall, she regretted it.
She did not fit in with the crowd.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's sit in the last row!"
Xenia pulled her to the last row.
The auction was held by the Lowell family, so they had their own entrance passes.
The two of them sat down. The usherette gave them a list of the items that would be auctioned tonight.
Coralie took a look at it. Although her emerald bracelet was one of a kind, it was very ordinary among these auctioned items. It was arranged to the front of the list, as the third item. As the list stretched, there were also some vases, valuable antiques, bronze statues, and so on, which looked luxurious at first glance.
"What's on the second floor?"
Coralie pointed to a small compartment on the second floor and asked.
"It's a VIP box generally for the rich people," Xenia explained. "Do you want to go and take a look? I'll ask if they're occupied. If we can get a seat there, we can go up too."
After all, she was the daughter of the Lowell family. She could go wherever her heart desired.
