Chapter 408
Chapter 408
Xenia ran away after the incident the day before and Harvey had no choice but to think of how to
convince his parents.
The next day, Xenia got off work and habitually wanted to send a message to Harvey with her phone.
After looking for his name for a while, she realized that she had blacklisted him.
She was about to put away her phone when she suddenly recalled something. She then added Yoel's
name and profession into her friend's list.
As Xenia drove home, she glimpsed a familiar figure on the side of the road while she was waiting for
the traffic light.
"Valerie and the man from before?"
She saw Valerie and Finley.
She quickly took out her phone to record a video of them and sent it to Coralie.
At this time, Coralie and Skylar were home. Coralie started playing the video and she watched Finley,
who looked different from how he was in the restaurant.
Was he harassing Valerie? It seemed that Valerie was not very happy but she did not do anything to
him.
"This was the waiter from before."
Coralie handed her phone to Skylar as she said.
The quality of Xenia's phone was great. The video was in high resolution and was able to zoom closer
to the target. It was obvious that Finley looked completely different compared to the time they met him
in the restaurant.
One could say they were twins in different attires.
"It's the same person?" Skylar asked.
"Yes, I've seen him several times. I've also seen him when I accompanied Xenia to buy clothes last
time. I'm not mistaken."
Coralie answered with certainty.
Hearing this, Skylar frowned slightly. "How did Valerie and such a person cross paths?" This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Although Skylar did not like Valerie, he knew she was very arrogant. She would always look down on
this kind of person, treating them as inferior beings. She would not even look at such a man, let alone
talkto him.
"I don't know. Is there a hidden agenda?"
"For sure there is a hidden agenda!" Skylar forwarded the video to himself before he returned the
phone to her. "I'll have someone investigate this." Skylar then picked up his phone and forwarded the
video to William. He left a message, saying, "Investigate this man."
"How did you know such an expert?"
Coralie looked at the message Skylar had sent and was a little curious. It looked like what they would
say in the movies.
"IT worker."
Skylar put his phone away.
Coralie put her phone aside too and was about to cook when her phone rang.
Hearing it, she asked Skylar while walking, "Is it Xenia?"
Skylar, who was sitting by the side, picked up her phone and saw the name of the caller. His
expression changed slightly. Coralie walked over curiously when she saw his reaction.
When Coralie saw the caller's name on her phone, she was startled. She took the phone from Skylar,
hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Auntie Ford."
Coralie said cautiously.
The last time they had dinner, Lilian did not say much, which made Coralie a little worried.
"Coralie, I want to talk to you privately tomorrow."
Lillian said straightforwardly after she heard Coralie's voice.
"Okay, what time should we meet? Should I go to your house or..."
"You dare set foot in my house? We will meet up at the cafe near the community entrance at three
o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
Lillian immediately hung up the phone when she heard that Coralie had agreed. It was as if it was a
waste of breath talking to her.
After she hung up the phone, Coralietold Skylar what Lillian had told her. Skylar said, "I'll go with you."
"No, it's fine. She said that she wanted to talk to me privately. If you come along, she will definitely be
angry..."
Coralie said that everything was fine but she was in fact worried. She did not know what Lillian had up
her sleeves. She feared that Lillian would do something extreme to force her to break up with Skylar.
"Don't worry. You will meet her at three in the afternoon, right? I'll pick you up at four. Your talk should
be over in an hour."
Skylar saw that Coralie's hands were clenched slightly, so he knew that she was a little nervous.
However, it was obviously inappropriate for him to intervene in this matter. No matter what, he had to
wait until they were finished talking the following day before he could think of a countermeasure.
"No, five o'clock is better. Auntie Ford will definitely blame it on me if she saw you before we finish
talking."
Coralie couldn't risk further worsening her terrible relationship with Lillian.
"Okay, five o'clock it is. Call me if something happens, but you don't have to worry too much. In reality,
my mother is a timid woman. She will only scare you with words, but she will not dare to take any
action."
Skylar put his hand on Coralie's shoulder to comfort her.
"Okay, I'll go back to the kitchen now."
Coralie placed her phone next to Skylar and strode towards the kitchen.
At half-past two the next day, Coralie arrived in front of the cafe at the community entrance of the
Holland family estate. The Holland family estate was located on the edge of the suburbs. The cafe was
only the size of a bar, with three tables inside.
Coralie casually found a seat and sat down. The only staff member of the cafe went over to her with the
menu. "What would you like to order?"
"Orange juice, thank you."
Coralie did not look at the menu and casually ordered a drink. She did not have a habit of drinking
coffee.
Their meeting was set at three in the afternoon. Coralie arrived half an hour earlier, but Lillian still has
not appeared half an hour after their agreed time.
Coralie was worried that Lillian had forgotten but she did not dare to urge her. She could only sit and
wait. After finishing the glass of orange juice, she ordered another glass.
She sat there until it was four, and then she picked up her phone to send Skylar a message. She told
him of the situation and told him not to come. If Lilian still did not show up by five, she would leave.
Hearing this, Skylar immediately replied. "You can come back. I'll pick you up right now."
Seeing that he wanted to come, Coralie quickly stopped him. "No, don't come. Auntie Ford is
deliberately testing me."
She was used to assuming the worst.
At the moment she sent the message, a burst of laughter came from outside the door.
Coralie looked up and saw two women coming in. One of them was Lillian, but the other was Valerie.
Looking at the scene, Coralie was in a foul mood. Lillian had said that she wanted to have a private
conversation with her, but she did not mention that Valerie would also be here.
The two of them came in and saw Coralie. They walked to her table and sat down and then ordered a
cup of coffee each.
"Oh, I thought you were gone."
After Lillian ordered a cup of coffee, she looked up at Coralie without a trace of guilt.
Beside her, Valerie seemed to have known that Coralie had arrived in advance. She smiled, "Miss
Chariots must have been waiting for two hours. We wanted to arrive at three, but we lost track of time
while shopping. Don't take it to heart."
Coralie would not be angry about Lillian's late arrival, but Valerie's explanation suddenly made her
angry.
