You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 364

"Sure, no problem. I'll go and make the necessary preparations."

Houston was a businessman. He had promised to let Coralie marry Yohan because he wanted money.

This time, there was definitely more money as compared to last time, so he had no reason to refuse.

"I shall be waiting for your good news."

After Skylar finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Valerie was gritting her teeth in anger as she listened to their conversation from the side. However, she

still pretended to be apologetic and said to Skylar, "Skylar, I'm sorry, I've caused you to lose such an

important project for my sake. How should I thank you?"

She did not mention that Skylar's sacrifice was for the sake of her and Jasper, and only chose to

mention herself.

Skylar replied, "I'm just trying to make Coralie feel better."

Ever since the incident at the rehabilitation center, Skylar had lost even the slightest bit of good

impression that Valerie had left on him.

In fact, Skylar felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Jasper. He was in the same situation as Skylar was

back then.

Back then, Skylar had once thought that Valerie was a kind girl. If the family had wanted him to marry

her, he would not have any objections.

But later, he met Coralie, and everything became different.

Later on, Skylar gradually realized that Valerie wasn't who he thought she was. Everything that she

presented was merely a facade.

"No matter what, thank you, President Holland."

Jasper was in a good mood.

Even though Amenda had a place in his family, Houston was the one who had the final say in all

matters.

At this time, the dishes of the two tables were served.

The two parties did not converse any further.

Coralie and Skylar took their leave first after finishing their meal.

When they were outside, Coralie asked, "Is the Central Square project very important? Are you going

to give it to the Zac family just like that?"

She knew that Skylar's reason for saying those things was to reduce the guilt in her heart. It was also

to prevent Valerie from bringing up the matter repeatedly.

"Forthem, it's a big project. For me, it's nothing big."

Skylar replied as he took her into his arms and left.

Originally, Coralie had thought that Skylar would take her to a jewelry shop to buy some jewelry.

However, the car stopped at the entrance of an office building.

"Is it here?" Coralie asked.

Coralie stood downstairs and looked around. It didn't seem that there would be a jewelry store here at

all.

"Well, you'll know when you go upstairs."

Skylar knew that she was confused, but he didn't offer any further explanation. He just took her to the

elevator and waited till they reached the top floor of the office building.

When the elevator door opened, Coralie saw a glass plaque hanging on the wall, which read 'Hampton

Auction House'.

"Is this the place?" Coralie asked curiously.

"That's right." Skylar nodded.

Looking at Coralie whose eyes were still full of doubts, Skylar still had no intentions to offer her any

explanation.

When he pulled Coralie to the front of the door, the receptionist immediately came out and greeted

respectfully, "President Holland, Mrs. Holland, welcome to the Hampton Auction House."

"Thank you."

Skylar nodded.

The receptionist led Skylar and Coralie all the way inside. A man who looked like a manager, who was

dressed in a suit, came over and said, "Mr. Holland, we have gathered all the best diamonds that are

about to be auctioned in the country."

"Is there anything good?"

Skylar asked as he walked.

"There are a lot of them. Come in and I'll let you have a look."

As the manager spoke, a staff member with gloves on, who was walking at the very front, opened an

iron door.

Coralie noticed that even though the iron door was open, she still couldn't enter. There was a small

space inside with cameras everywhere. Then, there was another door leading to the security room

inside.

After the manager verified their pupils and fingerprints, the staff opened the door of the security room.

Coralie followed Skylar into the room. The room was dark, and the manager stood by the side and

turned on the light.

When the light was turned on, Coralie saw that there was a large space inside, surrounded by beautiful

exhibition counters. Each exhibition counter was filled with black boxes, in which there were diamonds.

In the middle was a counter, and on top of it was an eye-catching box that had a relatively large

diamond in it.

"President Holland, this is the best diamond here. Every cutting on it is perfect."

As the manager spoke, he walked to the cabinet in the corner and planned to introduce the diamonds

to Skylar from the beginning.

However, Skylar wasn't listening. He went straight to the counter that was in the middle of the room,

pointed to the diamond inside and said, "That is the one i want."

The manager's face fell when he saw Skylar asking for it. "President Holland, if you want that diamond,

you'll have to participate in the auction."

"Why? Let the expert evaluate it immediately and I'll buy it at the highest price."

Skylar said without hesitation.

Before he came here, he had already made a deal with the manager that the diamond he liked would

be directly evaluated by the expert. He could choose to not participate in the auction and purchase it at

the highest price. Although it might be more expensive, at least he didn't have to wait.

Seeing how determined Skylar was, the manager said, "President Holland, do you know why this

diamond looks so much more eye-catching than the others?"

"Why?"

Skylar knew nothing about diamonds.

However, this diamond was indeed very eyecatching. Clearly, its colour was not special nor was it

much bigger than the other diamonds. However, it was very dazzling and different from the rest.

"Because it's a diamond of D-grade database quality, which is the best quality of a colourless diamond.

The manager explained. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Aren't most of the diamonds sold on the market colourless?"

Coralie was a little confused.

The diamonds she usually saw were all white, colourless.

"No, most of the diamonds are colored, just like this one." The manager pointed to the diamond in a

cabinet next to him and said, "This is level G, three levels lower than D.

In addition, this diamond was cut in the most perfect proportion. It could be said to be the most perfect

diamond in the market in recent years.

Director Holland, you have to know that D- grade diamonds themselves are very rare."

The manager was afraid that Skylar would not understand, so he told him how rare and pure the

diamond was. He wanted him to understand that it was too rare.

"So, I would have to participate in the auction?"

After listening to the manager's words, Skylar understood his intentions.

"Yes, you'd have to participate, because although this diamond is not the largest, it is the rarest. Any

ring made out of this diamond will dazzle wherever it goes."

After listening for a long time, Coralie finally understood what the manager meant; this diamond was

very expensive.

She pulled Skylar's hand and said, "Skylar, why don't we choose something else? It's not that we need

this one, the rest are pretty good too."

Moreover, there were a few other diamonds that were as big as this one, and some were even bigger

than this one.

"No, I want this one." Looking at the diamond, Skylar asked the manager with an expression of

certainty, "When will the auction be held?"

"It will be on the 30th of May."

The manager replied.
