You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 203

"What's wrong? Are you trying to give me a lecture here?"

Howard knew better than anyone else that his present situation was owing to his affair with Alison at that time.

Coralie was indeed a commendable wife. He understood it clearly.

However, Coralie was still the wife of a rich person while he had become like that now. Originally, he thought that Skyton Corporation was going to close down, he didn't expect Skyton Corporation would be able to procure an investment and was developing gradually. He was even more annoyed.

"Howard, I'm not trying to lecture you. To be honest, I don't care about everything you've done. You'd better turn over a new leaf. You're a graduate from esteemed A University..."

"Stop it! Running your mouth is easy. I'm blacklisted by the public security, do I still have a chance to change? What do you want me to do? Moving bricks?"

Howard interrupted Coralie rudely when she was speaking.

Howard knew that even if he turned over a new leaf, his criminal records were already indelible in the system. Any HR would easily find it out.

At that time, Howard was very agitated, Coralie knew that he was about to hit her. At that time, Coralie prayed that a security guard or neighbor would come. However, it was too late at night. No one passed by.

"Howard, if you're willing to, there are still a lot of opportunities. I'm serious, you can start everything again."

"Don't talk nonsense! I want money! Skylar's company is doing well now, don't you have money now?"

Howard had been beating around the bush. In the end, he still wanted money.

However, Coralie was not who she used to be. She shook her head and said, "Howard, Skylar and I had a divorce. With my background, it's impossible for me to be in a rich family. You know that." When Coralie said that, she was hoping that Howard would let her go if he felt that she was miserable too.

However, when Howard heard that, he seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed her arm and smiled obscenely, "Is that so? Coralie, it means you're alone now, right? How about marrying me again and continue to serve me? What do you think?"

"Howard, we're over. You..."

"You're f**king looking down on me, aren't you? Do you think that you're different now that Skylar slept with you? Do you think I'm not worthy of you?"

Coralie realized perhaps Howard was not in his right mind as he had been having a hard time.

He would get easily triggered. He also seemed to be very sensitive. He would get agitated by just a few words.

"No, no..."

Coralie tried her best to placate him. At the same time, she was looking for an opportunity to escape.

"No? Let me tell you Coralie, you can only be with me. Who else would want you?"

Howard looked at Coralie's face, she had not changed much in the past two years, and he had not tasted a woman for several months. The last time he enjoyed himself was with Alison.

As he was thinking, his hands began to grow restless, his whole body had some reaction.

As soon as he let go of Coralie, she found the right timing, lifted her leg and then kicked him right in his crotch. She tried to escape while Howard was covering at his crotch.

But after a few steps, Howard caught up to her.

Fortunately, at that time, Coralie ran from the entrance of the corridor to the road of the community.

Howard knew that he couldn't drag Coralie away again. In a fit of anger, he began to beat and kick her like crazy. While he was beating her up, he cursed, "B*tch, you think you're strong now? You are a f**king jinx. Every man with you didn't end up good. Look at me, and then Skylar. He almost lost Skyton Corporation after marrying you!"

Although Coralie was being beaten up, she didn't run away anymore. She curled up in a ball, covering her belly with her hands instinctively.

She knew that she had the most important treasure in her stomach. She couldn't let Howard injure it.

Howard didn't know at all and continued shouting, "Why aren't you speaking? Why aren't you running away? D*mn it, where did your strong will go? Anyway, I'm not afraid of anyone right now. I would still have a scapegoat if I killed you."

Howard was no longer the same person he was. He was a complete hooligan, his mouth was full of vulgarities.

Coralie was in pain. Although her head was hurt, she still chose to protect her belly.

Finally, a security guard of the community passed by. He heard someone cursing from a distance. When he came over, he saw Howard was assaulting Coralie. He rushed over, "What's going on?"

With Howard's current identity, he was most afraid of the police. Even if it was the community's security guard, he was shocked. He no longer cared about Coralie and fled.

The two security guards ran over and saw Coralie lying on the ground with wounds all over her face. They quickly dialled 911, searched for her identity's information, and then handed it to the medical staff in the ambulance.

After that, according to her previous medical information, she was sent to the hospital she often went to...

Coralie had already passed out by the time the security guards arrived. Hence, she did not know that she was sent to the hospital.

However, she woke up in a daze and saw the white walls around her, she recalled what happened the night before and was basically sure that she was in the hospital.

Coralie saw many parts of her body was being bandaged, her first reaction was ask about her child.

She pressed the bell. When the nurse got there, Coralie's first question was, "Nurse, is my child..."

"Don't worry. The child is safe."

Before the nurse continued speaking, a man's voice came from the door.

Coralie looked up and saw Harvey leaning against the door wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, looking helpless.

"Why did you send me here?"

Coralie looked at Harvey, realizing where she was.

Logically speaking, that hospital was not the nearest one from her house, there was still even some distance away. The ambulance would not have sent her there logically. "The internet has evolved. After confirming your identity, they found the hospital you visited most often, so they sent you here."

Harvey explained.

In fact, Coralie was very reluctant to come to the hospital which had something to do with Skylar because she would never let Skylar know about that child.

"Dr. Felton, the child is not Skylar's. So, don't ever tell him!"

Coralie knew that Harvey and Skylar were good buddies. She was worried that Harvey would blabber, so she just made up a lie. "It's not his?"

"Yes. It's me... I cheated on him. What's more, we are divorced now. Could you please keep it a secret for me!"

Coralie saw how surprised Harvey was, so she knew that he must have believed what she said. Hence, she deliberately exaggerated. "Miss Chariott, don't lie to me. You had a good relationship with Skylar."

Harvey looked at Coralie's nervous expression. Although he didn't believe it, why would a woman lie about something like that normally?
