Skylar clearly knew that Coralie was lying, but he did not expose her.
He brought Coralie back to the room, poured her a glass of hot water, and insisted on calling the doctor to check on her.
After confirming that she was fine, Skylar said, "Go to bed early. I will take you out tomorrow."
Coralie could tell that Skylar had suspected that she was lying, but she did not know how to explain Yohan's matter to him.
She remembered the video and the medicine that Yohan gave Skylar...
There was nothing but hatred between them.
"Okay, thank you."
Coralie said, and then covered herself with a blanket and intended to sleep.
She did not notice that after she said 'thank you,' Skylar's facial expression changed slightly.
However, he did not disturb Coralie. He just sat on the reclining chair outside the house and looked at the sea under the night sky, lost in thought.
When he thought about it, Coralie seemed to be avoiding something. He looked back and thought that she started to act strangely after seeing the other couple on the beach.
Skylar thought about it and said to Coralie, who was
sleeping soundly, "I'll go out for a walk."
Then he left.
He went straight to the front desk and asked, "I want to know the names of the guests on the island."
The reception heard his request and declined, "I'm sorry, sir, we cannot provide the list of our guests to private individuals. This is to protect the privacy of our guests."
If they were at home, Skylar would have easily gotten it with his own connections. However, on that island, he did not know anyone...
Thinking about this, Skylar used the room's phone and contacted the housekeeper.
Since Skylar had booked the largest room, the housekeeper would naturally respond to Skylar's request immediately.
The housekeeper was also a citizen of Country A. After he saw Skylar, he gave him a coconut juice before asking, "Mr. Holland, is there anything I can assist you with?"
"I want to have a look at the names of the guests on the island, just the names will do."
Seeing the hesitation on the housekeeper's face, Skylar immediately took out a handful of 100-dollar bills from his pocket and placed them on the table.
At first glance, it was at least 2000 dollars.
The housekeeper looked at the stack of money and asked, "Just the names, right?"
"Yes, I only want the names, nothing else."
As Skylar spoke, he pushed the stack of dollars to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper quickly put the money away and happily said, "Okay, please wait a while."
Less than 20 minutes later, the housekeeper quickly returned.
He held a thin piece of paper with the list of all the guests on the island. The list clearly stated the accommodation place and time of departure for all guests, as well as their room number.
Skylar took a rough look at the list.
A familiar name appeared on the list!
"Leonardo Watson!"
When Skylar saw the name, he understood the reason for Coralie's strange behavior.
She did this to prevent him from meeting Yohan!
"Do you have the itinerary for this guest?"
Skylar pointed at Yohan's name and asked the housekeeper.
The butler shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Holland. I'm not in charge of the guest in this room. I do not know their itinerary."
"Okay, thank you."
Skylar did not make things difficult for the housekeeper. He only remembered Yohan's room number.
