You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 177

"By the way, a few days ago, Howard stayed for a long time at our house. He kept bad-mouthing you to

Andrew. As he drank with Andrew until very late at night, I came back because I'm scared that they

would disturb Kevin."

As soon as Coralie heard what Josephine said, her nerves stood up.

"Who?"

"Howard Schultz..."

After Coralie confirmed it, she grabbed Josephine's hand and looked around to make sure that Kevin

wasn't around, and that no one heard what she had just said. Then, she asked, "Do you know about

Howard's current identity?"

"What's wrong with him?"

"He is a fugitive! He barged into our house to rob that day, and even stabbed Skylar."

Coralie picked up her mobile phone and confirmed with Josephine repeatedly before she called the

police, "Are you sure he is at your house?"

"He was there a few days ago, but I'm not sure about now..." Josephine was a little bewildered, "He, he

is now a wanted criminal? Does Andrew know about that? Would he hurt Andrew?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Andrew must have known that, right?"

Coralie said to Josephine while she called the police officer with whom she had contacted before.

When Coralie was explaining the situation to the police, Josephine sat on the bed with her palms

slightly sweaty, "Coralie, I, I have to go. Is it okay if I leave Kevin at home for a while?"

"Wait a minute!" Coralie stopped Josephine while she was still talking to the police officer. After hanging

up the phone, she asked, "Where are you going?"

"I don't think Andrew knows that Howard is a wanted criminal judging by the way he acted... What if

Howard had no money and wanted to hurt Andrew?"

Josephine murmured. At that time, she was imagining a murder scene.

Coralie began to feel sorry for her again, "Andrew must have known about Howard's situation. I guess

you are the only one who is being kept in the dark. You don't know anything about it, you can't go back.

What if Howard holds you hostage again?"

"He won't! No, I want to go back, I'll leave Kevin at your place for a while!"

At that time, Josephine did not take in Coralie's advice at all. After she stepped out of the door, she

held her son and said, "Kevin, you can stay at Auntie Chariott's house for a while. I'll go out and buy

you some candies, okay?"

"I want to go with Mommy!"

Kevin was Josephine's son's nickname.

When he heard that Josephine was about to leave, he wanted to go with her. After all, he was closest

to his mother.

Josephine couldn't care much then. She only wanted to go home and tell Andrew about it.

"Josephine, Josephine." Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Coralie said, "When you get home,

don't be too frank. Just say that you're there to get something."

"I know! Don't worry."

After saying that, Josephine left regardless of her son's distress.

However, it had been half a day since she left.

In the evening, Coralie tried her best to coax Kevin to sleep. She fell asleep too.

When she woke up in a daze in the morning and looked at her phone, there was no notifications at all.

She could not help but feel a little nervous.

While Kevin was not awake yet, Coralie ran out of the house and called Josephine.

However, the call was not connected because the other end of the line was turned off.

Coralie's first reaction was to call the police officer she contacted before.

As it was too early, it seemed that the police officer had not got up yet. When he answered the phone,

he sounded like he was in a daze, "Miss Chariott, we have sent someone to monitor the place you

mentioned. If we catch the criminal, we will let you know immediately."

"Actually, that is my friend's house. She went back yesterday, and I have not been able to reach her

until today."

Coralie said nervously.

However, as she did not explain it clearly, the police officer felt that it was not something important, "If

she had gone home but her husband did not see her, only then would she be considered missing."

"No, when my friend left yesterday, she left her child with me. She said she would come back soon, but

unexpectedly, I can't contact her today."

Coralie was anxiously explaining.

After talking for a long time, the police agreed to go to Josephine's house with her.

After all, as a mother, it was impossible for her to neglect her own child.

Before Coralie went out, Kevin had already woken up. When he opened his eyes and saw that Coralie

was beside him but not Josephine, he burst into tears, "Mommy, I want Mommy!"

"Kevin, your mommy went out to buy you breakfast, she will come back soon. Auntie is going to look

for her now, okay?"

Coralie did not have a child. When she saw Kevin crying, she had no idea what to do so she could only

lie to him first.

"That's a lie!"

Although Kevin was young, he knew that Josephine had always cooked for him.

At that time, Hera also got up. When she saw Kevin crying, she hurriedly picked him up, and then

asked Coralie, "What's wrong with Josephine? She doesn't want the child anymore?"

"Mom, I..." Coralie wanted to tell her the truth, but Kevin was by her side, so she could only made

gesture at her, "I'll go look for her."

After that, she hurriedly put on a coat and went out.

Josephine's phone couldn't be reached. It gave her a premonition.

......

Coralie took her phone and bag, and then hailed a taxi to the gate of Josephine's community. The

police officer who had been handling the case was already there.

"Let's go."

When the police saw Coralie coming, he stepped forward and was ready to go upstairs.

Coralie followed the policeman and went upstairs.

The policeman first knocked on the door. After a long time, the door opened, the smell of smoke was

filling the whole room.

Andrew stood at the door and looked at the policemen. He didn't look particularly surprised. Instead, he

asked Coralie, who was behind him, "Coralie, you should live your rich life and let us live our average

life. Why do you always want to give me trouble?"

In fact, Coralie was unwilling to come. After all, both Andrew and Howard were tarred with the same

brush.

However, she was worried about Josephine.

She had a good relationship with Josephine since they were in university. Now that Josephine was

cheated on by Andrew, she felt really bad for her.

"Andrew, where is Josephine?"

Coralie stood behind and asked.

"Josephine? How do I know?"

A look of disdain appeared on Andrew's face.

The police and Coralie entered the house and saw that the house was quite clean. There were newly

washed bowls and chopsticks by the kitchen sink.

Josephine said that she had been staying at her parents' home for several days already, and Andrew

did not look like a hardworking person at all. Coralie looked up and saw the coat Josephine was

wearing the day before hanging on the hanger next to her.

She wanted to say it on the spot, but when she saw Andrew's fierce look, she was worried that he

would do what Howard had done last time, so she did not say anything.

After the police searched around and confirmed that Josephine was not there, he said, "Let's go to the

community to check the surveillance."

When Andrew heard that, he immediately said, "This community has been here for more than 20 years.

How could there be any surveillance? When a robbery happened upstairs, the police didn't find any

clues after coming in for so many times."

The policeman ignored him.

When everyone came out and went downstairs, Coralie said, "Josephine must be home. The coat

hanging beside me was the one she was wearing yesterday."
