Chapter 380
Chapter 380
Coralie had been going around with Skylar to give toasts, but when she heard what Valerie said, she
immediately turned around to see what was happening.
Hera was wiping her mouth, and there was some tension in her eyes.
"Mom, what happened?"
Coralie quickly walked over. While she was asking Hera, she glanced at Valerie with watchful eyes.
She noticed that there was no wine in Valerie's glass, and the wine in Hera's glass was also finished,
so she could have guessed what had happened just now.
However, Valerie would not be so kind as to propose a toast with Hera?
Anything Valerie said was a lie!
Hera thought that she had misunderstood. She could tell that her daughter and Valerie's relationship
was not good. She hurriedly pushed Coralie and said, "It's okay. It's alright. I misunderstood."
"What did you misunderstand?"
Coralie asked.
Valerie looked at Hera's embarrassed look and felt very proud!
That was her intention. She wanted everyone to know that the Chariott family was not in the same
class as them. They did not even know that the basin water was used to wash their hands.
"I'm sorry, I was here to propose a toast with Auntie Hera, but she accidentally choked. So, she picked
up the lemon water in the basin and took a sip."
Valerie's face was full of guilt, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Coralie. I've embarrassed you..."
Hera took Coralie's arm and said softly.
How could Coralie not see through Valerie's intention?
She picked up the basin of lemon water and poured it on Valerie's face without hesitation!
Before Valerie could react, she had already been splashed with water!
"Coralie, what are you doing? I'm not the one who asked Auntie Hera to drink this water."
Valerie did not expect that Coralie would act so impulsively!
She used her hand to wipe the water off her face. Her makeup had also been ruined.
"What am I doing?" Coralie's heart ached when she looked at Hera. "Did my mother offend you? Why
are you treating her this way?"
At this time, everyone came around.
Because they were all acquaintances, they tried to calm the situation.
However, Lillian was unwilling. She felt that she must seize the opportunity. She held Coralie's hand
and said, "Son, look at your wife. What has she done? Coralie, you must apologize to Valerie!"
"No, I won't."
Coralie pulled her hand away from Lillian's.
Although she was weak and had no temper, she would never allow anyone to hurt the people who
mattered to her.
Whether it was Skylar, Hera, Wayne, Hendric, or Xenia and Josephine. No one could hurt any of them.
"Auntie Ford, forget it. I did not express myself clearly."
Valerie used her special skill again. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked as though she had
been wronged. She pretended to be a peacemaker and made others think that she was very pitiful.
Then, they would unconsciously stand on her side.
Jamie and Wayne walked in from outside. When they saw the situation, they partially understood and
immediately chimed in, "Can you stop pretending? When Wayne and I were here, why didn’t you come
to propose a toast? Why did you wait until we were gone?"
"Actually, I thought that Auntie Hera was bored by herself, so I went and made a toast with her."
Valerie explained, as though she had been wronged.
She understood Jamie's personality, and with her family background, she absolutely would not go head
to head with her.
"Forget it, forget it. It's my fault." Seeing how everyone was arguing because of her, Hera felt very guilty
and blamed herself again.
She felt that her daughter's engagement party was previously disturbed by Lillian, but it had turned
better. She felt guilty as it was disrupted again because of her.
"Valerie, why are you actually here?"
The more Hera was acting this way, the angrier Coralie became.
She took out her mobile phone from her handbag, found the backup call recording in her mailbox, and
wanted to press the play button directly.
Valerie did not respond initially, but she suddenly realized something when she saw Coralie doing this.
She rushed over and grabbed Coralie's hand. In a split second, she knelt in front of Coralie and said, "I
was wrong.”
Her reaction was so great that everyone couldn't respond in time.
Valerie pulled Coralie's hands, and therefore she did not press the play button.
Valerie said, "It's my fault. I was jealous when I saw Skylar treating you well. I've loved him for so many
years, and I had intended to let him go. But today, Auntie Ford called me over, and when I saw your NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
engagement, my heart felt uncomfortable. I wanted Skylar to see that I'm the one who matched him
best."
She knelt there, crying as she spoke.
She was choked with sobs.
As Valerie finished speaking, she was almost lying on the floor. Her crying became louder and louder.
The people around were frightened.
Coralie held the recording in her hand and was uncertain whether she should play it or not.
Skylar watched from the side for a long time before saying, "It's time to call it a day."
"Skylar..."
Coralie turned to look at Skylar and was a little surprised.
Actually, the banquet had just begun, but it ended in such a hurry...
"You must be tired, right? Take a rest."
Skylar walked over and turned his sight to her phone as he spoke.
He saw from the screen that it was at an email attachment page. He was inquisitive about what could
make Valerie, who had been pretending, suddenly kneel and cry for mercy, but he did not ask on the
spot.
However, there was one thing that Skylar was extremely certain of.
The harm that this thing could do to Valerie was far greater than her admitting to hurting Hera.
Lillian was dumbfounded, but she did not know what Coralie was going to do. She did not know why
Valerie would suddenly admit the mistake.
Moreover, if Valerie would admit to her mistake, then it would also set a trap for her.
Lillian, who still stood by Valerie, spoke, "Son, look at what you have done to Valerie! Do you still want
to marry Coralie? The day you two get married is also my funeral!"
Lillian could not hold on any longer. She immediately used the death threat against Skylar.
Skylar didn't spare her a second. Instead, he returned to the stage and said to the guests, "Thank you
all for coming to my engagement ceremony with Coralie today. I apologize for the little hiccups. I hope
everyone here will attend our wedding ceremony as well."
All the guests said, "Of course, of course!"
No one paid any attention to Lillian's threat just now.
She stood there. Even though she was Skylar's mother, she had turned into a joke.
Valerie was the center of the joke.
Hera could not bear to look at Valerie, who was still crying on the floor. She wanted to help her but was
stopped by Wayne. Coralie came over and said, "Mom, don't blame yourself. You did not cause any of
the problems today."
"Coralie, it is my fault for being ignorant. Otherwise, this won't happen."
Hera still felt very sorry.
"Mom, it's really not your fault. It's just a trivial matter. Take Hendric home and have a good rest."
Coralie was about to walk over to Skylar's side and carry Hendric when he suddenly grabbed her hand.
He crashed his body straight to hers.
