When Skylar returned home, Coralie had been sitting on the sofa for a long time. She didn't expect that the murderer who had killed her father hadn't been imprisoned, and was still alive.
Moreover, she had appeared in front of her countless times, but Coralie did not know!
"You knew about this, don't you?"
When she had called Skylar earlier, he didn't seem surprised. At that time, Coralie already had a feeling that he knew it already. Skylar didn't elaborate on the matter or even mention it. Logically, that was not his style at all as he had always cared about her matters. Thus, Coralie knew that Skylar must have already known about it.
However, at that moment, she wanted to confirm when Skylar had found out about it.
"Yes." answered Skylar.
"How long have you known?"
"After rescuing you, we left a recording device in the kidnapper's car. Later, Finley talked about this matter after driving away."
Skylar did not intend to hide anything. After all, this matter was related to Coralie's father. He also knew that Coralie had always been unable to let go of her father's death.
"I...I want to see her,"
Coralie said.
"You want to see her?"
"Yes, I want to ask her why she didn't save him at that time. Why did she run away!"
She had been holding this in her heart for many years. She wanted to ask Valerie why she was so cruel back then.
Why didn't she save her father after hitting him!
If she had, her father might not have died!
When Skylar heard this, he walked over and embraced Coralie, whispering, "Now, except for Valerie's lawyer, no one can meet her."
"Will she be sentenced?"
This was what Coralie cared most about.
Valerie had been free for too long! It was obvious that she had knocked someone down and escaped, but she had lived a free and unfettered life because of her wealth. She had not paid any price. It was unfair!
"Yes, she will," Skylar nodded with certainty. "I've hired the best lawyer in A City. They won't have any chance."
"Then... Can I attend the trial next time?"
Coralie looked nervously at Skylar. She wanted to see Valerie's downfall with her own eyes so that she could give a sense of peace to her dead father.
"No way!"
However, considering that Coralie was pregnant, Skylar immediately refused.
"Skylar, just this once. Let me attend the trial. I want to hear what she has to say about this." Coralie promised him as she leaned into his embrace. "I won't get too agitated and I won't do anything to hurt our baby."
"Well, only this time. Even if Valerie appeals after losing the court case next time, you can't go."
"Okay."
Coralie nodded quickly.
This time, Valerie lost the court case. Amelia saw with her own eyes that Valerie was taken to court. As soon as she saw a sliver of hope, she saw it vanish again in her own eyes.
"It's all your fault. Are you even capable?"
