"Sure."
Coralie agreed.
"Coralie, please buy me a few bulbs of garlic downstairs. We ran out of them," Hera requested.
"Okay."
Coralie was glad that she only had a slight fever but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She took the money and hurried downstairs.
When she finished buying the things and went back, she saw a commotion in the neighborhood. There was a large group of people surrounding it.
"Give it to me! You b*tch!"
"You're crazy!"
"Mom, Mom!"
Coralie paid no attention at first, but the more she listened, the more she felt that the voice was similar to Josephine Lowell's.
She saw the teacher of the kindergarten, Jessica, standing there watching the scene too. She suddenly remembered what she had said before, that there was a lady in the neighborhood whose husband was incompetent, unemployed and who only played games at home all day. He even had an affair with another woman and started gambling. Now the child had gone to primary school...
She didn't sense anything out of the ordinary at that time, but now she felt that it was a summary of the problems between Josephine and Andrew Jordan!
"What's the password? Tell me the password!"
"You can't take it! It's Kevin's tuition fee!"
The argument continued to run, and most of the people were bystanders watching the scene. It seemed that no one was going to stop them.
Hearing Kevin's name, Coralie immediately squeezed into the crowd.
She squeezed through and saw a man, a woman and a child. The man was wearing a set of ragged sportswear while the woman was in a decent suit. However, her hair was tousled from the quarrel just now and there was a red palm print on her face. It was obvious that she had been beaten by the man.
"Josephine, what happened?"
Coralie shouted and quickly walked over to help Kevin up. He was crying on the ground.
"Coralie?"
"Coralie Chariott?"
Andrew and Josephine were dumbfounded when they saw Coralie. Four years ago, Coralie was announced dead on TV; it was well known by the public. Although Josephine believe that Coralie wouldn't commit suicide, she had disappeared for four years. Everyone had gradually come to terms with her death.
However, at this time, Coralie appeared out of nowhere.
"Holy sh*t, are you a human or a ghost?"
Andrew was terrified when he saw Coralie.
He knew Coralie was dead. Although it was daytime now, Coralie's appearance still gave him the creeps!
"Coralie, you didn't die. I knew you wouldn't commit suicide!"
Josephine went up to hug Coralie.
"Josephine, what's going on?" Coralie asked.
She went light-headed at her tight hug and hurriedly held on to Josephine to regain her footing.
Andrew didn't remember until she asked...
Who was Coralie? She was Skylar's wife.
Who was Skylar? The boss of Skyton Corporation, the big boss of A City!
"Hey, Coralie, lend me some money. Your husband has plenty of it, right?"
Immediately, a rapacious expression appeared on Andrew's face.
"Andrew, Skylar and I have divorced, I haven't been in touch with him for a few years. You'd better keep your evil thoughts to yourself."
Because Coralie was just going out to buy some groceries, she dressed very casually. She wore a set of old sportswear and a long down jacket. What's more, she had a fever now and didn't wear any makeup. It indeed acted as a testimony to her miserable life.
Andrew immediately believed her and said to Josephine, "Hmph, I've told you that all men in the world are the same. You used to tell me how good Skylar was to Coralie and how much he loved her. How about now? He dumped her at last! Men would only go for the young and beautiful girl."
"At least Skylar didn't spend all his money and he didn't steal his child's tuition fee!" Josephine shouted back.
