You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 232

"Skylar Holland? He's here? No way! He's never been to a small auction like this."

Xenia frowned.

Skylar was an esteemed figure in A City. Logically speaking, he wouldn't attend such an insignificant auction.

"It can't be wrong. It must be him."

Coralie couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster when she thought that she was in the same auction with Skylar.

She was very worried that Skylar would be angry because she was stealthily selling Grandmother Holland's bracelet.

"If he bought it, the bracelet would return to its rightful owner. I've also saved money."

Holding Coralie's arm, Xenia thought it was a good thing.

"I'll go back to the hospital first. Thank you for today."

Coralie looked at Xenia next to her.

Although the bracelet was bought by Skylar in the end, Xenia's initial intention was good.

Coralie had to thank Xenia no matter what.

"You're welcome. I didn't help much anyway."

Holding Coralie's arm, Xenia walked out and drove Coralie back to the hospital.

......

Just now, Skylar was in the VIP room upstairs. On the huge screen in the private room, Skylar examined the emerald bracelet and confirmed that it was the one which Grandmother Holland gave Coralie.

He knew this because there was a stain of amber on the emerald bracelet. The shape, size, and position of the amber stain were exactly the same as the one on the bracelet belonging to Grandmother Holland.

After Skylar won the bid for the emerald bracelet, he went down to hand in the money and took it away.

He found the auction manager backstage and demanded, "Where is President Lowell now? I want to see him."

The manager of the auction saw that it was Skylar and Sabella, the leading figureheads in the business world. Neither of them were easy to deal with. He quickly said respectfully, "President Holland, please wait a moment, I'll ask for you."

Sabella saw that Skylar's expression was very harsh. She guessed that this bracelet had something to do with Coralie.

She had been with Skylar for a while and found that Skylar had always been poised, but he had an exception—

It was Coralie Chariott.

He would be capricious when it came to matters pertaining to Coralie.

The manager made a phone call. After confirming it repeatedly, he came over and said to Skylar, "President Lowell is attending a business banquet in the Hilton Hotel. Do you need me to call..."

"I'll go now."

Before the manager could finish speaking, Skylar had already left his office.

Sabella trailed behind silently.

When Skylar walked to the side of the car, he looked at Sabella beside him and said, "Go back to bid on the oil painting. I have something to do."

Sabella shook her head with a worried expression on her face. "President Holland, that painting is not a big deal. Let me follow you. I'm familiar with President Lowell, so I may be able to speak to him for you."

Sabella's tone was very gentle. She didn't pressure Skylar but brought up her own use.

Skylar and Augustine Lowell, Xenia's grandfather, had not socialized with each other. After hearing Sabella's words, he unlocked the car and said, "Sorry, I'll buy the painting for you later."

"It's my honor to help you, President Holland."

Sabella smiled and got in the car.

She had always been gentle. When Sabella was with Skylar, she never put on heavy makeup. It was always light makeup.

Sabella thought this was what Coralie looked like.

Skylar drove the car all the way to the Hilton Hotel. On the way, Sabella cleverly called the hotel's reception and asked which banquet hall Augustine was in.

When Skylar went with her, Sabella, like a guide, took Skylar all the way to the banquet hall where Augustine was.

When Skylar entered, Augustine was talking to others, but Skylar could not care about it anymore. He went directly to Augustine, took out the emerald bracelet and asked, "President Lowell, could you please explain where this emerald bracelet is from?"

Augustine was a little surprised when he saw Skylar walking towards him with the emerald bracelet in his hand.

After all, Augustine was just auctioning the thing and he didn't want to get embroiled in Skylar's and Coralie's business.
