"Sure."
Coralie agreed.
"Coralie, please buy me a few bulbs of garlic downstairs. We ran out of them," Hera requested.
"Okay."
Coralie was glad that she only had a slight fever but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She took the
money and hurried downstairs.
When she finished buying the things and went back, she saw a commotion in the neighborhood. There
was a large group of people surrounding it.
"Give it to me! You b*tch!"
"You're crazy!"
"Mom, Mom!"
Coralie paid no attention at first, but the more she listened, the more she felt that the voice was similar
to Josephine Lowell's.
She saw the teacher of the kindergarten, Jessica, standing there watching the scene too. She suddenly
remembered what she had said before, that there was a lady in the neighborhood whose husband was
incompetent, unemployed and who only played games at home all day. He even had an affair with
another woman and started gambling. Now the child had gone to primary school...
She didn't sense anything out of the ordinary at that time, but now she felt that it was a summary of the
problems between Josephine and Andrew Jordan!
"What's the password? Tell me the password!"
"You can't take it! It's Kevin's tuition fee!"
The argument continued to run, and most of the people were bystanders watching the scene. It
seemed that no one was going to stop them.
Hearing Kevin's name, Coralie immediately squeezed into the crowd.
She squeezed through and saw a man, a woman and a child. The man was wearing a set of ragged
sportswear while the woman was in a decent suit. However, her hair was tousled from the quarrel just
now and there was a red palm print on her face. It was obvious that she had been beaten by the man.
"Josephine, what happened?"
Coralie shouted and quickly walked over to help Kevin up. He was crying on the ground.
"Coralie?"
"Coralie Chariott?"
Andrew and Josephine were dumbfounded when they saw Coralie. Four years ago, Coralie was
announced dead on TV; it was well known by the public. Although Josephine believe that Coralie
wouldn't commit suicide, she had disappeared for four years. Everyone had gradually come to terms
with her death.
However, at this time, Coralie appeared out of nowhere.
"Holy sh*t, are you a human or a ghost?"
Andrew was terrified when he saw Coralie.
He knew Coralie was dead. Although it was daytime now, Coralie's appearance still gave him the
creeps!
"Coralie, you didn't die. I knew you wouldn't commit suicide!"
Josephine went up to hug Coralie.
"Josephine, what's going on?" Coralie asked.
She went light-headed at her tight hug and hurriedly held on to Josephine to regain her footing.
Andrew didn't remember until she asked...
Who was Coralie? She was Skylar's wife.
Who was Skylar? The boss of Skyton Corporation, the big boss of A City!
"Hey, Coralie, lend me some money. Your husband has plenty of it, right?"
Immediately, a rapacious expression appeared on Andrew's face.
"Andrew, Skylar and I have divorced, I haven't been in touch with him for a few years. You'd better keep
your evil thoughts to yourself."
Because Coralie was just going out to buy some groceries, she dressed very casually. She wore a set
of old sportswear and a long down jacket. What's more, she had a fever now and didn't wear any
makeup. It indeed acted as a testimony to her miserable life.
Andrew immediately believed her and said to Josephine, "Hmph, I've told you that all men in the world
are the same. You used to tell me how good Skylar was to Coralie and how much he loved her. How
about now? He dumped her at last! Men would only go for the young and beautiful girl."
"At least Skylar didn't spend all his money and he didn't steal his child's tuition fee!" Josephine shouted
back.
"Give it to me. I'll make a lot of money tonight. Tomorrow, I'll get back the amount of tuition fees for six
years!"
Andrew looked exactly like a gambler when he said it. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"That's what you said the last time you took away our family's savings, but what happened then? I'm
not asking you to make a lot of money, I just want to live a good life."
"Stupid woman! Tell me the password!"
After listening to Josephine's word, Andrew was infuriated and directly came up to her to grab the card!
"What's going on? What's going on?" A voice was heard.
At this time, the security guards of the neighborhood were finally here.
As soon as they arrived, Andrew immediately gave in. He chuckled and said to the security guards, "It's
only our family matter, family matter!"
"It's not family matter; it's domestic abuse!"
A woman, who had been watching the scene for a long time, finally stood up and spoke.
"Yes, domestic abuse! This man is shameless. He was eyeing the child's tuition fees for his gambling!"
"That's right! We're all watching!"
After one person started speaking, the others who had been silent just now also echoed.
Seeing this, Andrew glared aggressively at Josephine and said, "Just wait and see!"
Then, he scampered away.
When Andrew left and the crowd dispersed, Coralie stood there and said to Josephine, "Josephine,
you haven't divorced him yet?"
"Coralie, I..." Hearing what Coralie said, Josephine burst into tears. "I really regret not listening to you in
the past!"
"What's wrong?" Coralie asked.
"I...actually I used to have a small business making and selling hand-made bracelets. Later, a company
took over my business and they gave me a sum of money. I only needed to design for them from then
on and the days were looking better. Then, Andrew somehow got addicted to gambling. I have no
choice but to take my child back to my parents' place..."
Josephine wailed as she spoke.
It seemed that the good days had been ruined again and again by Andrew.
"Then why don't you divorce him? What are you waiting for? Do you want to be his ATM?"
Coralie had experienced life and death in the past few years. After all these things, she found that, to
live was to be with the person who loved her and the person whom she loved.
Otherwise, everything would be in vain.
"Yes, I have decided to do it no matter what. However, what if he doesn't agree to the divorce?"
Josephine cried.
"Then file a lawsuit. For a man like him, the court will definitely approve of the divorce. What's more, if
he borrows money from a loan shark in the future, you'll be in trouble!"
In the years when Coralie faked her death and hid in that town, there was a man who borrowed from
the loan shark to gamble. In the end, he was harassed by the loan sharks every day as they came to
his house to collect the money. His family couldn't be at peace too.
Coralie knew a little about this matter.
"Okay," Josephine nodded.
"Mom, you divorce Dad. I'll protect you."
Kevin, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
He was now about six or seven years old. He was quite tall, but he was on the thinner side.
"Yeah. Kevin is such a blessing." Josephine held Kevin in her arms. Then she asked Coralie, "Coralie,
how have you been these years? You just said that you have nothing to do with Skylar anymore?
What's going on?"
"I don't even know myself. I'm actually single now. However, when I saw him yesterday, he told me he
didn't love me anymore. I don't know why."
Coralie shook her head helplessly.
She didn't know what the problem was.
She didn't know how to unearth the reason as to why Skylar would want to draw a clear line with her.
"No way... I went to see him the last time you committed suicide. I could see that he had deep feelings
for you."
Josephine was in disbelief too.
