Chapter 184
"I'm not, I don't know him!"
Coralie immediately pleaded innocent. Although something similar had happened in the company
before, this time, Coralie was genuinely not acquainted with President Zac.
But she could guess who he was.
"Anyway, you should be careful. Whatever the reason is, President Zac had a son older than you. If you
want to work, don't have any stupid thoughts later at night."
Lisa looked at her, her face hinting warning.
In fact, Lisa still liked Coralie a lot. Although she did not possess any expertise, she was willing to work
hard. Besides, at such a critical timing of the year, if there was a lack of manpower, things would take a
downturn.
"Is he the CEO of Samaith Group?"
"You really don't know him?" Lisa looked at Coralie and saw that she was really confused. Then, she
said, "He is the CEO of Samaith Group, Houston Zac."
"So, am I going for the dinner alone tonight?"
Coralie was extremely nervous. After all, she had just entered Togsom Accounting Firm and was
suddenly invited to dinner by the president himself. If something really happened, would she lose her
new job?
"You have to keep your promise. Just be smart, but bear in mind, President Zac's wife is still alive.
Don't have any crooked thoughts!"
Lisa repeatedly reminded her, but she was not sure what Houston would want from Coralie.
He only took a glance at her before inviting her to dinner. If Houston was interested in Coralie, wasn't it
too obvious?
About ten minutes later, Houston came out. He was very satisfied to see Coralie waiting outside.
"Let's go."
Houston saw Coralie was still standing there in a daze, so he called her.
"Go ahead."
Lisa pushed Coralie so that she could keep up with Houston.
Coralie took the elevator down with Houston helplessly. When they got into the car, Coralie couldn't
wait to ask, "President Zac, why do you want to treat me to dinner?"
Actually, if Houston couldn't explain why, she wouldn't even dare to eat that meal. She was afraid that it
would be a set up.
Coralie was cognizant of where she stood. As the president of Samaith Group, Houston must have
encountered all kinds of beautiful women. With her appearance, she knew that she wasn't the type who
would lead someone to decide anything at first sight.
"It's nothing. I just feel that we clicked. Don't be nervous."
One of the assistants was driving while the other was sitting in the passenger seat. Houston and
Coralie were sitting in the back seat.
Houston looked at Coralie, who was sitting away from him, her body sticking to the door.
"President Zac, I, I think this is the first time I've met you. It shouldn't be fate... Even if you recognize
me as President Holland's wife, you don't have to specially treat me to dinner. After all, I have no say in
President Holland's business."
Coralie just sat there and thought.
She even suspected that Houston was going to kidnap her and use her against Skylar in business
affairs.
"So your husband is President Holland of Skyton Corporation?"
As soon as Houston said that, Coralie realized that he had no idea about her relationship with Skylar.
"Then, President Zac, why did you suddenly ask me to have dinner..."
"Come here, look at this person."
Houston noticed that Coralie really did not know anything. He guessed that Jasper didn't tell her
anything, so he took out an old photo from the innermost layer of his wallet.
It was a monochrome photography. At first glance, it looked like it was produced from an old photo
studio decades ago.
Houston turned on the light in the car. Coralie then saw clearly that there was a young man and a
young woman in the photo. The man should be Houston, and the woman...
As she looked a little closer, she noticed that the woman looked a little like herself.
"This is... President Zac, do I remind you of someone?"
Coralie could see that the woman in the photo was about the same age as she was, and their
appearance looked slightly similar.
She guessed that the woman must be Houston's first love. Maybe she died when she was young, so
when Houston saw her that day...
"Haha. Sort of."
Houston did not deny.
"President Zac, a dead person cannot be restored to life. There is no substitute in this world. No matter
how much I look like her, I am not her..."
Coralie said hurriedly.
Of course, she never would have thought that she was Houston's daughter. At that moment, she
completely misconstrued that Houston was treating her as his first love. Did he want to get close to
her?
"She is Madison Carter. She was a woman I met when I was young. I lied to her back then, and to
punish me, she ran away with my child in her belly. When I tried to look for her, I found out that she
died giving birth to the baby."
"People can't come back to life. President Zac, please accept my condolences."
As she listened to Houston reminiscing his past, Coralie had no resonance with him at all.
She could only say those words to comfort him.
"At that time, I was just a foreman. I was poor and work was busy, so I didn't have time to look for her.
Later, my business grew bigger and bigger. When I finally had some time, I asked my men to find out
about it. Then I discovered that although she passed away giving birth at that time, the child survived
and she gave it to a close friend with the family name Jean..."
Houston continued.
Coralie sat aside, listening to what he said. It seemed like he was implying something.
Jean?
Her mother's family name was Jean, and it was a very rare one...
"That friend wouldn't be my mom, would she?"
Coralie felt that she would be stupid if she still couldn't draw an inference from it at that point.
Everything happened for a reason in that world. Since Houston wanted to see her, it must have
something to do with Madison's child...
"Yes."
"And then?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
In fact, Coralie had already started imagining things, but she did not dare to overthink.
After all, how could she say that her brother or herself was not a child of the Chariott family?
"And then your mother raised Madison's child. I'm very grateful to her."
"Madison's child is..."
"It's you."
When she got the answer, Coralie suddenly grew emotional. "President Zac, I think you are mistaken.
I'm my mother's child. People always say that I was a spitting image of my father."
Hera and Hendrick were so kind to her, how could she believe that she was not a child of the Chariott
family?
"I have looked into this matter for many times." Knowing that Coralie couldn't accept it, Houston still told
her the truth, "Actually, I was not sure if I should tell you, but the first time I saw you today, I decided I
want to reconcile with you."
Coralie looked very similar to Madison when she was young.
When Houston saw Coralie, he immediately thought of Madison.
However, Coralie seemed to have figured something out. She was younger than Jasper, and if Jasper
was the son of Houston's current wife...
"President Zac, thank you for telling me. However, with your current status, I don't think I have the right
to be your daughter. Besides, you have your own wife. I think she wouldn't want you to reconcile with
me."
Coralie expressed her own thoughts clearly.
