You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 147

"Excuse me, sir..."

Valerie Rae and Lorraine Thomas were sitting outside. When they saw the police coming, they were frightened and they stood up instantly.

By the time they rose to their feet, the police had already made their way into the President's office.

The police ignored them.

"You are suspected of being involved in a smuggling case. Please come with us to the police station."

The police declared to Skylar Holland as soon as they stepped their feet into his office.

When Skylar saw the police, he was not surprised at all. He got up and notified Jayson Lowell, who then came in with Valerie and Lorraine, "Jayson, take care of the company for the time being."

"President Holland, what happened?"

In the company and in front of the police, Valerie still addressed Skylar as President Holland.

"I'm fine."

He then left with the police.

Since he was only a suspect, the police spared him from the handcuffs.

Watching as Skylar's back vanished from her sight, Valerie was stunned.

They were going to get engaged the next day. What was happening?

She quickly picked up the phone and called her father, Hector Rae.

"Dad, the police just took Skylar away. Please find out what's going on!"

Valerie panicked. Uneasiness overwhelmed her when she thought that the engagement ceremony might be canceled.

"What?"

Hector had no idea about this since it had not been exposed to the news and the Internet. However, when he heard Valerie's words, a bad feeling simmered in him.

"The police who came just now said that he was suspected with a smuggling case."

Valerie was about to cry on the other side of the phone.

She was particularly concerned that there would be last-minute changes to the engagement party. After all, she had given her all to get engaged to Skylar.

"Don't worry, I'll get someone to check it out right now."

"Dad, what about the engagement ceremony and banquet tomorrow..."

When she mentioned the engagement banquet, Hector became even more upset. At the request of Valerie and Amelia Harington, Hector had invited a lot of elites. He didn't expect this interruption to happen.

"Let's talk about it later!"

There was nothing more they could do.

After hanging up the phone, Hector asked his friends from all fields to investigate the matter. Soon, he caught wind of the news.

Subsequently, Skylar's arrest was also released on the news broadcast and the Internet.

"The President of Skyton Corporation, Skylar Holland, has been taken away by the police. He is suspected to be involved with the smuggling case of the bodies of babies.

The news caused a sensation everywhere.

The Holland family, the Rae family, and the upper class of City A were all stirred in an uproar.

After all, nothing terrified them more than the curses that he might inflict on his competitors and to make more money for himself.

Everyone was shocked.

Skyton Corporation's staff was among the first to know about this matter. Although no one knew about the engagement between Skylar and Valerie, the two of them were together every day. Seeing how Coralie Charriot was sitting in the office every day, they naturally knew that Skylar and Coralie had broken up.

"Oh my God, is it true that President Holland is involved in the smuggling case?"

"Who knows? But I don't think that President Holland is that kind of person."

When Amelia saw that Valerie had snatched her phone, she reprimanded her quickly, "I haven't finished talking with President Lanes yet. Give me my phone back."

"No, I don't want to."

Valerie hung up the phone the next second.

"Valerie, your father and I had overlooked this matter. Look, there are plenty of good men in the world. You will always find someone suitable, perhaps better."

When Amelia saw that the call had been disconnected, she had no choice but to sit there and advised Valerie.

"Mom, I don't want to marry anyone but Skylar!"

Valerie had sacrificed so much to make the engagement happen.

She even lost her leg to seize Skylar from Coralie. How could she give up now?

"Valerie, I know how hard it is for you to accept it. In fact, it's hard for me to swallow it either," In order to calm Valerie, Amelia sighed and pretended to blame herself, "It has never crossed my mind that Skylar would be this corrupted. Indeed, we can't judge a book by its cover. We watched him ever since he was a child, but..."

"Mom, who doesn't want to make a fortune? Business is all about money, lawful or not. What's the difference between Dad and him?"

Valerie was different from Coralie.

Valerie did contemplate about the veracity of his action. Perhaps Skylar really had a dark side to him that she wasn't aware of. However, she was willing to turn a blind eye to it. She wanted to marry him no matter what.

"What's the difference? Don't you know that what he did is pure evil? It's absurd and unacceptable!"

It was not unusual for corporates to employ tactics and strategies in business battles.

However, Skylar had crossed the line. He had broken a taboo in order to gain more fortune.

"I don't care!"

"You can't marry him!"

Hector entered the house, greeted by Valerie and Amelia's argument. Without hesitation, he vetoed Valerie's insistence.
