Chapter 185
What Coralie said were actually out of Houston's expectation.
After all, ordinary people would yearn to born in rich families. Although Zac family wasn't considered an
extremely wealthy family, they still had a good reputation in B City.
"I've already confessed to my wife."
Houston said.
Although he acted on impulse that day, Coralie's reaction was out of his expectation.
"Uncle Zac, I am very glad that you told me these, but I love my parents very much. They treat me very
well, I don't want to hurt them."
In Coralie's view, even if Houston was really her biological father, it was merely a blood relationship.
The grace of nurturing is greater than the grace of childbearing.
"If anyone else got hold of such an opportunity, they would never let it go. It is because you are married
to Skylar that you..."
"No, Uncle Zac. You're right. Because I married Skylar, I realized how incompatible I am with someone
like you."
Facing Houston's suspicions, she spelled everything out.
If she hadn't married Skylar, she wouldn't have known she was a fish out of water in the circle.
She only wanted a simple life. If it not for the love she had for Skylar, she would have avoided the circle
long ago.
"Okay, I see."
The car arrived at the restaurant.
There was a doorman who opened the door for them. Then, the two of them went to the second floor
and then sat down on the best seat in the restaurant. The night view of B City was right outside.
The waiter in a neat suit brought the menu over for them.
Houston asked Coralie to order first. Coralie skimmed through the menu and ordered a single meal set.
Then, she told Houston frankly, "Uncle Zac, I'm sorry, since I have never been to such a high-end
restaurant, I could only order a set meal."
"You've never been here?"
Houston was a little surprised. He thought that after Coralie married Skylar, she would have come to
places like that very often. After all, Skyton Corporation was a large enterprise in A City. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"No, I don't like places like this. I feel very out of place."
Coralie said frankly.
However, she used 'out of place' to describe the situation.
Houston looked at Coralie. She bore a resemblance to Madison, as well as her stubbornness and
uncompromising character.
If Madison wasn't stubborn, she wouldn't have left when she was pregnant after knowing Houston was
married and went to A City by herself.
After dinner, Houston sent Coralie back to the hotel where she stayed.
When Coralie got out of the car, he followed her. He tidied up her coat for her and said, "Coralie, I
respect your decision, but no matter what, you are still my child. I owe you and your mother for what I
did in the past. Now that your mother passed away, I could only make up to you. If anything happens to
you in the future, no matter how big or small, I will help you as long as I'm able to."
"Thank you, Uncle Zac."
Coralie bowed respectfully at Houston.
Houston nodded, "Coralie, you're going back to A City the day after tomorrow, aren't you? Just take it
as me being selfish, it's not too much to hear you call me Dad for once, is it?"
Houston was reminded of Madison when he looked at Coralie.
He reminisced about his youth. Although he developed wrong feeling at a wrong time, it was his true
feelings.
Coralie thought about it for a long time before saying, "Good night, Dad."
Hearing that, Houston felt that his heart was full and complete. He was very satisfied. He opened his
arms and hugged Coralie before getting back in the car.
Coralie watched as his car left, turned around and then entered the hall.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw a woman wearing a short coat with a short skirt and
stockings coming over.
Even though B City was not as cold as A City, it took courage to wear silk stockings in that weather.
"Coralie, did Skylar dump you? Why are you humiliating yourself with an old man?"
The person in front of her was Corrine Quincy.
After Skylar drove her away, she couldn't stay in A City anymore. That was why she was in B City.
"As you're dirty, so you think everyone else is the same."
Coralie glanced at Corrine and then walked to the elevator.
Looking at Coralie's reaction, Corrine was upset, "Why are you so hostile? Didn't Skylar dump you?
Well, I knew it. After Valerie came back, Skylar would not look at other women at all."
At that time, Coralie was already in front the elevator. She walked into the elevator without looking at
her.
After all, something like that happened before. Coralie avoided Corrine so that she would not embroil
herself in any trouble.
Corrine looked at the phone in her hand. Just now, when she saw Coralie get out the car with Houston,
the first thing she did was to take out her phone and recorded a video.
It was very clear that Coralie and Houston were standing face to face. Houston was tidying the coat for
Coralie intimately. In the end, the two of them even hugged each other. It was obvious that there was
an improper relationship.
If Coralie was still with Skylar, she could send it to Skylar. However, she was not sure about her
relationship with Skylar now.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to tried her luck and send the video to Skylar through
email.
......
In A city, Skylar was working overtime in the company. There was going to be a big project after new
year. It was a bidding for a project in the development area in A City. Skyton Corporation was working
hard for the entire development plan.
A lot of companies were going to participate in that project. There were even foreign companies, so
Skylar had to ensure that everything would go well.
Skylar was on his email when he received an email attached with a video, so he just clicked on it.
From the thumbnail, it could be seen that there was a man and a woman standing face to face, the
distance was not far.
Skylar recognized Coralie at a glance, so he clicked on it to have a look.
He also knew Houston. Jasper's behaviors before had hinted that Coralie had some kind of relationship
with Houston, but he wasn't very sure.
After all, if Coralie was a child of the Zac family, with Houston's ability, how could Houston neglect her
for so long?
In the video, Coralie and Houston were being too intimate, if they were not father and daughter...
Seeing the video, Skylar immediately called Coralie.
The first thing Coralie did when she returned to her room was to take a bath.
Lisa was applying a mask outside. When she heard Coralie's phone ringing, she yelled for her to pick it
up.
Without hesitation, Coralie asked Lisa to pick it up for her and let the person call back again later.
Lisa went over and saw the name clearly on the phone — Skylar.
She was stunned for a moment, but she still picked it up, "Hello."
"Where is Coralie?"
Skylar immediately knew that it wasn't Coralie who answered the phone.
As a senior manager of Togsom Accounting Firm, Lisa knew every detail of the bosses in A City. When
she heard that voice, she was sure it was the CEO of Skyton Corporation, Skylar!
