You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 272

It was Tom who was dragging Coralie along.

"Tom, it's almost time. Do you think Leonardo will come? Will he return it to us?"

Jerry asked worriedly.

"I'm sure he will. His wife is in our hands," Tom answered.

However, he wasn't that confident himself.

Coralie looked back and saw the faces of her kidnappers, Tom and Jerry, for the first time.

They were very different from what she imagined them to look like.

It was obvious that they were brothers. They looked alike but Jerry was skinnier.

Tom was tall and muscular.

Both of them looked young; Tom seemed to be in his late twenties. From their appearance, they looked

like any other youngsters out there, with fair and smooth skin. They didn't look like they were from a

poor family.

"Who told you my identity? That person wasn't helping but harming you."

Even at this moment, Coralie still wanted to figure out this matter.

She vaguely felt that she might know the person who leaked the information to Tom and Jerry.

"Shut up! We voluntarily kidnapped you, so what does it have to do with that person?" Tom said.

"I advise both of you to leave now. Even if Leonardo comes alone later, there will surely be police

around this area. If you are caught, not only would you not be able to face your late father, but your

future will also be gone," Coralie said.

She realized that Tom had dragged Jerry into this and at that time, Tom also seemed to have thoughts

of pulling out.

She wanted to persuade them to leave because she realized that both of them weren't bad in nature.

"Tom, I think she's right."

"Right? I've told you before that birds of the same feathers flock together. She wants us to leave so that

the patent would belong to them," Tom responded.

He still didn't believe Coralie, and moreover, he was unwilling to give up just like this.

"But, what if Leonardo really called the police? I don't think he will just return the patent to us like this,"

Jerry said.

He was starting to back out at this point.

The sky was getting brighter. Judging from the time, it was around 7 a.m. already.

In the empty ruins, only the sound of cars whistling past could be heard.

Tom dragged Coralie with him. Standing at the edge of the building, she didn't dare to look down.

"Tom, I suddenly feel that I don't want the patent anymore. I feel that no matter what, we will definitely

go to jail."

Jerry suddenly blurted out.

He was really afraid and felt regretful of his actions at this moment.

"It's too late to say anything now," Tom said in a weak voice.

Tom was still dragging Coralie.

"It's not too late. Just tie me to the pillar. I'll say that I didn't see anything," Coralie suggested.

She also wanted this incident to end so that she can question Yohan on how he managed his business.

She also wanted to find out what was actually going on.

"Really?"

Jerry asked emotionally.

"Yes, really."

Coralie replied calmly.

"Tom."

Jerry looked at Tom.

Coralie also looked at Tom. His expression changed from being determined to slightly swayed.

Obviously, he didn't want to go to jail.

Perhaps, this decision was made out of an impulse.

However, at this very moment...

There were rustling sounds around them all of a sudden.

"Someone is coming!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Jerry shouted.

Tom quickly dragged Coralie to the edge of the building.

As expected, in less than a few minutes, around eight policemen went up the third floor and surrounded

them.

"Tom, they really did call the police!"

Jerry was frightened.

"D*mn it!"

Tom cursed.

Coralie could obviously feel that Tom's hand was trembling, which indicated that he was afraid.

"Don't come over! If you come over, I'll grab her and jump off!" Tom yelled.

Although he was afraid, he had to frighten the police as there was no other way out.

Initially, the police wanted to launch a surprise attack. However, they didn't expect Tom and Coralie to

stand at the edge of the building. They might fall off if they leaned on their sides.

"Don't be impulsive!"

The police urged him.

"Ask Leonardo to come and see me!"

Tom cursed.

"You're looking for me?"

Just then, Coralie saw Yohan in a windbreaker similar to the color of the police uniform. He walked up

the stairs wearing huge black sunglasses. She couldn't figure out his facial expression at the moment.

"You said that you wouldn't call the police."

"You believed me?" Yohan smirked. He turned his face slightly and looked at Coralie's face. He said,

"Let her go and I'll give you the three million dollars."

"Three million dollars? You swindled my family, so what do I need that three million dollars for? I want

the patent. If you don't give it to me, I'll jump off with her!" Tom shouted.

He was a little scared just now, but he was no longer afraid now.

There was already no way out for him.

Coralie did not speak nor ask for help from Yohan.

Ever since Tom and Jerry told her what had happened, she truly despised Yohan and didn't want to talk

to him.

However, at this moment, Yohan said, "Don't be afraid. They won't dare to do anything to you."

"Is that so?" Coralie asked.

She looked at Yohan, who was full of confidence.

He was taking a bet, betting on Coralie's life.

"Yes, I know them. They're just rich playboys."

Yohan spoke.

He seemed to be comforting Coralie. However, in fact, every single word he said disheartened Coralie.

Every single word he said also upset Tom and Jerry.

"Leonardo, shut up!" Another voice sounded.

Someone else came from behind them at this moment.

Coralie immediately recognized this voice at once.

"Skylar..."

She murmured. She didn't know why Skylar was here.

However, her heart skipped a beat when she looked at Skylar.

"Skylar, why do you like meddling in other people's business?" Yohan asked.

He never expected Skylar to come and he didn't know who informed him about this.

"Leonardo, Coralie exchanged her life for mine a year ago. That's why her life is also my life. This is not

considered meddling in other people's business," Skylar responded.

"Her life is also my life..."

Coralie was standing far away. She repeated this sentence and was stunned.

Why did something which was said so casually by Skylar sound so warm to her?

"Cut the crap! Leonardo, I want the patent. Give it to me now, or I'll jump off the building with her!"

Tom screamed.

Right after, Yohan looked at Skylar and said, "I told you that you are a busybody, right? You won't be

able to solve this matter at all."

"You played dirty tactics and snatched someone else's patent then forced their father to the point of

death. Did you think that nobody will investigate it?"

Skylar clarified without allowing Yohan to finish his words.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about this. However......" Yohan paused for a moment. Then he

continued, "I don't intend to give up the patent. I'll at most pay three million dollars as ransom."

He spoke casually.

"Look, I've told you that you've caught the wrong person, right?"

Coralie told Tom while mocking herself.

"I am Skylar, the president of Skyton Corporation. I don't have the patent that you want, but if you let

her go, I will fully support your lawsuit and help you get back your patent."

Skylar stood beside Yohan and spoke confidently.
