Chapter 179
"Are you okay?"
Jasper, who was sitting next to Valerie, instantly held her arm and asked with concern.
"I... I'm fine." Valerie said as she stood up from the table. Without even raising her head, she told
everyone, "Sorry, I have to go out and tidy up."
As she spoke, she suppressed her panic and walked out of the room.
After she exited, Valerie rushed all the way to the bathroom and hid in one of the compartments. She
locked herself up with her pale face and murmured, "How could there be such a coincidence? Hendrick
Chariott was Coralie's father?"
Hendrick was the person whom Valerie had killed in the car accident that year.
Valerie was drunk at that time. She still remembered that when she hit Hendrick, he was not dead yet.
At that time, she got out of the car and saw Hendrick asking her for help with his eyes opened. Valerie
was stunned. When she saw that there was no one around and confirmed that there were no cameras,
she quickly got in the car, wanting to flee from the scene because she was drunk driving. It was
impossible for her to call the police because she would have ended up in jail! NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
However, as soon as she started the car, Valerie realized that Hendrick had seen her face. What if he
didn't die and recognized her as the perpetrator later?
Valerie instantly had an intention to kill. She reversed the car to about a hundred-meter away and
charged forward again. As she sped up, the whole car eventually ran over Hendrick's body.
The turbulence under the wheel made Valerie's heart tremble.
However, since she had done it, there was no turning back.
When Valerie drove the car away, she was shocked. At that time, she was still young and was terrified,
she dared not to go back and tell her parents. The first thing she thought about was to go to Franklin
and ask for his help.
When she was studying abroad, Valerie would dream of how Hendrick looked at her when he was
asking for her help. Sometimes she could even feel the bed shaking when she was sleeping, just like
how a car would shake when it ran over a person.
The nightmare had been mitigated recently, but that name appeared again.
Valerie couldn't accept that truth.
Valerie stayed in the bathroom for a long time until the door to the compartment was knocked on.
Jasper's voice came from outside, "Valerie, are you inside?"
When Valerie heard Jasper's voice, she quickly comforted herself, "It's okay, it's okay. It's over and no
one will know about it. It's all just a coincidence."
After comforting herself over and over again, she opened the door and looked at Jasper who was
outside, trying not to lose her composure, "I'm sorry. I made you worried."
Jasper lowered his head and saw Valerie sitting on the toilet seat. The wine stain on her dress was still
visible. It seemed that she had not dealt with it at all. Her face was pale and her hands were slightly
trembling. He asked with concern, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I... I have hypoglycemia. I was a little dizzy just now."
Valerie made up a lie.
"I'll send you back then."
"No, I, I can go back by myself."
Valerie shook her head desperately.
Jasper was particularly concerned. He said, "Don't force yourself. Let's go, I'll send you back. I'll just go
and inform them first."
As he said so, Jasper took Valerie's hand and helped her back to the room.
Jasper did not conceal his love for Valerie at all, and he was already treating Valerie as his fiancee.
Jasper took Valerie back to the room. He briefly notified Skylar and Anthony before he sent Valerie
home.
Seeing as Jasper left with Valerie in his arms, Anthony's face immediately darkened, "Look, now
someone else got it?"
"I told you I'm not going to marry her."
Skylar was not bothered with that matter but the reason for Jasper to suddenly ask about Coralie's
parents.
Other than that, Franklin also said that Jasper and Coralie looked alike, and with the Zac family's
golden lock on Coralie's photo when she was a baby, it seemed that...
"Ding-dong."
Skylar was thinking about that matter when there was a text message on his phone. It was from
Franklin.
He briefly informed that he saw Coralie at the gas station in the morning.
......
Instead of driving his own car to A City, Jasper rented one that time. Of course he had his driver with
him.
He sat in the back seat with Valerie.
Valerie sat in the car. She seemed better. She was in Jasper's arms and did not struggle to loosen
herself from it, "Thank you for sending me off."
Seeing that Valerie did not avoid him, Jasper continued to hold her in his arms, did not want to let her
go.
"If you don't feel well, you can just tell me next time. You don't have to force yourself to come with me."
Jasper said.
In fact, Valerie requested to come that day. It was because she knew that Jasper was going to see
Skylar. She wanted Skylar to see how close she was with Jasper and be jealous.
However, she didn't expect Skylar to be indifferent.
"You don't know anyone in A City, how could I leave you alone?"
Valerie said smartly, hiding her selfishness well. She said it as though the only reason she came was
for Jasper alone.
"Well, when you go to B City with me next time, I will take you wherever I go since you don't know
anyone there."
Jasper's voice was gentle.
The car was originally running steadily, but at that moment, a kitten suddenly came from the roadside.
Due to high speed, the car couldn't stop immediately. The car hit the kitten directly and ran over it...
Thud thud! Thud thud!
That feeling frightened Valerie again. She suddenly shouted, "Stop! Stop! It ran over something!"
The driver didn't take it seriously when he saw that it was a kitten. He didn't intend to stop, but Valerie's
screams scared him and he quickly pulled over to the roadside.
"What did you run into?"
Jasper also felt that he had ran over something just now. He didn't care about it at first, but after
Valerie's shouting, he asked the driver.
"President Zac, it's a wild cat. It suddenly jumped out from the roadside. It was too sudden."
The driver explained.
Jasper brought that driver with him from B City. He was an experienced driver and had been with him
for many years.
Valerie got out of the car like she was deranged. She saw the kitten gushing with blood after it had
been ran over, it was not moving at all. At first glance, it was obvious that it was dead.
Jasper looked at Valerie's behavior and thought that she was just feeling pity for the animal. He said,
"Get a plastic bag and find a place to bury it."
"No... No..."
Valerie looked at the kitten lying on the ground, suddenly plunging into great fear. Her mind went blank
and she was yanking her hair with her hands. She curled up and muttered, "I didn't do it on purpose. I
didn't do it on purpose..."
When Jasper saw Valerie, he immediately hugged and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. We didn't do
it on purpose, the kitten would surely know it. Let's bury it so it gets a new life, okay?"
Valerie was in Jasper's arms. After a long time, she came to her senses. She seemed to have
distinguished the present from the past. Then, she slowly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's bury it. It,
it won't blame us, right..."
