You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 422

Skylar and Ned could not help but feel amused after they heard what Amelia said.

"Atone for it? Madam, why don't you listen to the end?"

Ned was the first to speak.

"What? You don't want to admit this, do you? My Valerie is good- natured. She had even injured her

legs to save Coralie and had suffered depression for a while. She was in such a miserable situation.

You won't turn your back on her, right? "

Amelia was immediately annoyed when she saw the both of them behaving that way.

However, Hector was different. He saw Skylar and Ned's behavior and soon realized something. He

pulled Amelia aside and whispered, "Listen to what they have to say." "Hector, why are you acting like

this? Your daughter is in such a state now. We can't forget what happened to her back then while she

was trying to save Coralie!"

Amelia still had not grasped the situation.

"Madam, we have arrested the driver of that case a few days ago and he has admitted to what he had

done in the past."

Amelia's expression became much more relaxed when she heard Ned's explanation. She said calmly,

"I knew it. Valerie was doing this out of kindness..."

"He admitted that it was Valerie who had paid him to crash into Coralie, but because he had lost control

of his strength, it resulted in

Valerie breaking her leg instead."

Ned finished his sentence without waiting for Amelia to finish hers.

Amelia and Hector's expressions fell after they heard about it.

"Impossible!" Amelia took a step forward. She wanted to see what was written in the record in Ned's

hand. "My Valerie is not that kind of person. It's impossible for her to do that!"

"Auntie Harington, that is not up to you to decide."

Seeing how agitated Amelia was, Skylar knew that it was impossible for her to believe the truth at that

moment.

"There was a large sum of money deposited into the driver's bank account and it was from

Valerie. Furthermore, the time of the deposit was exactly a few days before the accident."

"So what? Maybe they had known each other from before. Maybe it was just a coincidence!"

Amelia felt a little embarrassed as she said that.

However, she still did not believe that Valerie would do such a thing. In her opinion, Valerie was a well-

behaved child. How could she ever do such a thing?

"There was a witness who confirmed that Valerie had met with the driver at the entrance of the temple

three days before the accident."

Ned continued.

When Amelia saw that their expressions were firm and Hector was silent, she knew that they had

concrete evidence on Valerie.

However, she was still her mother. If she did not help Valerie, then no one would. Amelia picked up her

courage and said to Skylar, "Maybe it was you, Skylar, who had purposely forced the driver to say

something like this in order to take revenge on Valerie?"

Skylar did not expect her to say that.

"All the evidence is here. I did not expect that you, Auntie Harington, would still retaliate."

Skylar shook his head with a smile but his expression was calm and relaxed.

"Retaliate? I think that you just want to use your money to get him to confess so that my

Valerie will go to prison."

Amelia was desperate.

"What's in it for me?"

"You can avenge Coralie."

"Yes, at the same time, it's to take down our Rae family. Finley is dead and only the driver is left. Do

you have any proof that you did not ask someone to create fake evidence?"

The more Amelia spoke, the more that she felt that there was hope.

However, Amelia's move was very effective. At least, she managed to stall time.

If the police wanted to prove this theory, they would need to gather more evidence.

However, Ned believed Skylar. He could only say, "We will search for new evidence and also use a

polygraph to prove that the driver is not lying."

Hearing this, the corner of Skylar's thin lips curled up. He casted a glance at Amelia and said, "Oh,

Auntie Harington, you really think very highly of the Rae Family. Do you really think that I would spend

so much effort to take down your family?"

"Don't you agree, President Rae?"

Hector's expression changed drastically after he heard Skylar's words!

"Alright, you have said enough. Don't make a fool of yourself. Let's go!"

Skyton Corporation was no longer the same. Hector understood Skylar's meaning and quickly pulled

Amelia away.

"No, I'm not leaving! I..."

Slap!

Before Amelia could finish her sentence, Hector slapped her in the face. Amelia lost her balance and

fell onto the table.

Hector ignored her and dragged her out.

The only sound left in the police station was a string of a woman's cries and shouts.

After Hector dragged Amelia into their car, Amelia covered her face and cried loudly. "Hector, I want to

divorce you!"

"Fine! Let's get divorced! Did you know that you have just tried to ruin the Rae family?"

Hector's previous slap had been out of impulse and it was for Skylar to see. He slightly regretted his

actions now.

"What do you mean? How dare they accuse Valerie of committing those crimes?"

Amelia was not convinced.

"First of all, do you know how powerful

Skyton Corporation is now? If Skylar wanted to take us down, he could have done it easily. He would

not need to go through so much trouble. Secondly, it was indeed our daughter herself who had created

a mess last time!"

Amelia's expression suddenly changed after she heard Hector's words. "W-What do you mean? You

believe them too, don't you? You don't believe in your own daughter?"

"Back then during the car accident, I had suspected that someone wanted to kill Valerie so I had

investigated further, but Valerie took the initiative to ask me for a favor. She asked me for a few

hundred thousand dollars. Do you think our family was short of a few hundred thousand dollars? I

forced her to tell me the truth after that and she did."

Hector patted his hands on his knees and let out a long breath.

That was also the reason why Hector had been very calm. He believed that Valerie could indeed do

such a thing.

After the incident, he realized that his daughter was no longer the same person he had remembered.

"You're lying..."

"It's true! So let's not get involved in this matter. Let's just pretend that we never had this daughter!"

Hector started the car as he spoke.

Amelia felt numb after she heard Hector's words. She put one hand on Hector's arm and asked him

nervously, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I said, let's just pretend that we never had this daughter!"

Hector's words were resolute this time.

He was a businessman. In his eyes, Valerie could be considered as an abandoned child. If they were to

take any further actions, it would only endanger the Rae family.

"She is our daughter!"

"So what? There are thousands of employees working for the Rae family. Do I have to shut down the

Rae family business and starve thousands of households just because of one person?"

Hector spoke to Amelia and used the responsibility of an entrepreneur as an excuse.

"But do you have the heart to let your daughter go to prison?"

"Wasn't it all her own choice?"

Amelia was choked with sobs after she heard that Hector had made up his mind. It

was not easy for her to help Valerie by her own abilities.
