"Sure, no problem. I'll go and make the necessary preparations."
Houston was a businessman. He had promised to let Coralie marry Yohan because he wanted money. This time, there was definitely more money as compared to last time, so he had no reason to refuse.
"I shall be waiting for your good news."
After Skylar finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Valerie was gritting her teeth in anger as she listened to their conversation from the side. However, she still pretended to be apologetic and said to Skylar, "Skylar, I'm sorry, I've caused you to lose such an important project for my sake. How should I thank you?"
She did not mention that Skylar's sacrifice was for the sake of her and Jasper, and only chose to mention herself.
Skylar replied, "I'm just trying to make Coralie feel better."
Ever since the incident at the rehabilitation center, Skylar had lost even the slightest bit of good impression that Valerie had left on him.
In fact, Skylar felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Jasper. He was in the same situation as Skylar was back then.
Back then, Skylar had once thought that Valerie was a kind girl. If the family had wanted him to marry her, he would not have any objections.
But later, he met Coralie, and everything became different.
Later on, Skylar gradually realized that Valerie wasn't who he thought she was. Everything that she presented was merely a facade.
"No matter what, thank you, President Holland."
Jasper was in a good mood.
Even though Amenda had a place in his family, Houston was the one who had the final say in all matters.
At this time, the dishes of the two tables were served.
The two parties did not converse any further.
Coralie and Skylar took their leave first after finishing their meal.
When they were outside, Coralie asked, "Is the Central Square project very important? Are you going to give it to the Zac family just like that?"
She knew that Skylar's reason for saying those things was to reduce the guilt in her heart. It was also to prevent Valerie from bringing up the matter repeatedly.
"Forthem, it's a big project. For me, it's nothing big."
Skylar replied as he took her into his arms and left.
Originally, Coralie had thought that Skylar would take her to a jewelry shop to buy some jewelry.
However, the car stopped at the entrance of an office building.
"Is it here?" Coralie asked.
Coralie stood downstairs and looked around. It didn't seem that there would be a jewelry store here at all.
"Well, you'll know when you go upstairs."
Skylar knew that she was confused, but he didn't offer any further explanation. He just took her to the elevator and waited till they reached the top floor of the office building.
When the elevator door opened, Coralie saw a glass plaque hanging on the wall, which read 'Hampton Auction House'.
"Is this the place?" Coralie asked curiously.
"That's right." Skylar nodded.
Looking at Coralie whose eyes were still full of doubts, Skylar still had no intentions to offer her any explanation.
When he pulled Coralie to the front of the door, the receptionist immediately came out and greeted respectfully, "President Holland, Mrs. Holland, welcome to the Hampton Auction House."
"Thank you."
Skylar nodded.
The receptionist led Skylar and Coralie all the way inside. A man who looked like a manager, who was dressed in a suit, came over and said, "Mr. Holland, we have gathered all the best diamonds that are about to be auctioned in the country."
"Is there anything good?"
