Chapter 9
As soon as the nurse held Coralie Chariott's arm, she immediately leaned forward and touched her
forehead. After confirming it, she asked her worriedly, "Why did you come to get the marriage certificate
when you are having a fever?"
Coralie was embarrassed and asked the nurse, "Will this affect the blood test?"
"That's possible."
Answered the nurse.
Alison laughed and said, "Sister Corrie, are you so afraid that the other party will break off the
engagement, that you came to get the marriage certificate when you're sick?"
Upon hearing Alison's mockery, Coralie clenched her fingers and asked the nurse for help, "Can you
draw my blood first? If there is any problem, we can try..."
When the nurse heard of Alison's constant ridicule towards Coralie, she was also irritated and agreed
to take her blood first.
Fortunately, the test result came out normal. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Coralie came out of the examination room and as soon as she stepped out, she saw Howard standing
not far away, looking embarrassed.
She wanted to avoid him, but she heard her name as soon as she took a step.
"Coralie?"
At this point, Coralie could only turn around awkwardly.
Howard was wearing a formal suit and leather shoes. Under his white shirt, she could see that there
was a brand-new Longines watch on his wrist.
"Howard."
Coralie straightened up and greeted him with a smile, but she couldn't help but think of a sentence—
"I'll always meet the person I don't want to meet the most on my worst day."
"You're dressed like this. Don't tell me you're here..."
"I'm here to get my marriage certificate."
Before Howard could finish his words, Coralie replied and tied her hair up at the same time.
"How are your mother and brother?"
Howard asked her.
"It has nothing to do with you, isn't it?"
Coralie sneered. The time when she needed help the most and had asked for the money that she had
put into their matrimonial home so that she could save her family, but in the end, what she had gotten
was a heartless rejection instead.
But now he was pretending to care for her? It only made her feel even more disgusted.
"Sister Corrie, don't tell me that you are married to an old man just to save your family, would you?"
Alison had just gone to the bathroom to fix her makeup. When she saw Howard and Coralie talking,
she quickly came over.
She had specially picked out a beautiful dress and matched it with high heels just for this occasion.
When she stood beside Coralie who was dressed plainly, there was an obvious difference between
them.
After hearing Alison's remarks, Howard's face darkened. He looked at Coralie and said, "Coralie, you
don't have to do so. If you are really in trouble, I can help you if I can."
"Howard Schultz, what's the use of you pretending to be such a kind and caring person?"
Coralie felt ridiculous. If Howard had drawn a clear line with her, she might actually feel better.
"Honey, since Sister Corrie is married to a rich guy, she won't need your money anymore." Alison
hooked Howard's arm and asked Coralie scornfully, "Sister Corrie, where is your husband? Is he that
old that he had to wait outside for you to push him in? Hahaha."
Alison strongly believed that Coralie, who was a divorcee and was in urgent need of money, would not
be able to find a decent man.
It would be good enough if she could even get herself an old man.
"Alison, you wouldn't want to quarrel with me when you are here to get your marriage certificate, would
you?"
Coralie looked at her coldly and clenched her fists.
"All right, we got the marriage certificates. Let's stop talking."
Howard tried to persuade her.
"Hmph, honey, don't you want to see what kind of husband your ex-wife has found? Is he in his 40s or
50s?"
Alison laughed evilly.
She was confident that Coralie couldn't find a decent man.
"That's her choice." In fact, Howard was also uncomfortable, so he said to Coralie, "Coralie, even if you
are desperate for money, you don't have to rush to get married. You will not only have to take care of
your family but also your old husband."
In fact, Howard wasn't actually concerned about her.
Obviously, he just didn't like the idea of another person having what he once owned.
"Do you all think that I will look for an old man?"
Coralie looked at the b*tch couple in front of her with a mocking look.
She felt that what they had said was very ridiculous.
All of a sudden, she felt fortunate that the person she had married was Skylar Holland but not some old
man.
For whatever reason, she had married a man who would make them jealous.
"Isn't that so?"
Alison asked.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing your reaction when you meet him."
Coralie smiled coldly.
In fact, she didn't know if they would find out. After all, her marriage with Skylar was only for a year.
It was just that at this moment, she wanted a small win for herself.
"Honey, look at you. You still care about her family and wanted to raise money for her but she has
already found a rich husband." Alison said deliberately.
She had no idea who Coralie had found.
But when she saw Coralie's calm expression, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.
"Alright, let's go get our marriage certificate."
Howard had no intention to find out who Coralie was going to marry.
He grabbed Alison and dragged her to get their marriage certificate.
It was not until Howard and Alison left that Skylar came out of the examination room.
"I just saw your ex-husband inside."
That was the first sentence Skylar said when he came out.
"Well, I saw them too."
Coralie looked at Skylar. The man she married had a handsome and cold appearance. He was really
perfect. It was so perfect that it made other people jealous.
Unfortunately, their marriage was not because of love, but because of their own needs.
It was just a deal for both of them to get what they wanted.
"After we've gotten the marriage certificate, you would have to sign an agreement with me."
Skylar said as he walked ahead of Coralie.
"Isn't it just a premarital agreement?"
Coralie asked in confusion.
"It's just a formality. Whether you sign it or not, it's impossible for you to take away any money that
doesn't belong to you from me."
Skylar's tone was icy cold. Even at the marriage registration counter, something that is so romantic, but
Coralie could only feel the coldness in his voice.
Coralie laughed at herself. "I'm becoming cheaper and cheaper. All just to get a marriage certificate."
She looked at the affectionate couples who were there to get their marriage certificates but she had
forgotten about her own situation.
"I understand. I'm already very grateful that you can give me that 5 million dollars. I won't covet
anything else from you."
As Coralie was moving forward, her eyes suddenly blacked out. Her head suddenly felt a little heavy
and she couldn't help but lean into Skylar's arms.
He was the closest to her so he naturally held her up with both hands.
"Thank you."
Coralie thanked him.
"If you are thinking of changing anything by throwing yourself onto me, then I can only say that you've
made a mistake."
Although Skylar's words were cold, he didn't let go of her hand for even one second.
Even so, Coralie did not dare to stay in his arms for too long. She quickly moved away once she felt a
little better.
"Thank you, I won't."
Although Coralie could walk by herself, she still felt a little dizzy. In order to avoid any other
misunderstandings, she tried to keep a distance from Skylar, so that she wouldn't fall into his arms
again.
Just to receive another humiliation in return.
After the two of them had gotten their marriage certificates and left, Skylar kept a cold face and did not
smile at her at all.
Coralie put the certificate into her bag silently and followed Skylar into his car.
"To the hospital."
He ordered the driver with his cold voice as soon as he got onto the back seat of the car.
