Chapter 216
The policewoman was shocked since she did not expect Skylar Holland to be so agitated all of a
sudden.
After all, Skylar had always been in control before this.
"Mr. Holland, we'll look into the whole investigation. You just said that Coralie would not wear these
kinds of clothes. What do you mean by that? Can you elaborate more?"
After listening to Skylar's words just now, the female policewoman caught an important message.
After all, the video was dark, and a lot of clues might have been washed away by the heavy rain. As
Coralie Chariott's ex-husband, Skylar would be able to bring up important clues.
"Her clothes, and her pants. I'm sure she doesn't have those clothes."
Skylar answered without any hesitation.
He must prove that Coralie was not the woman who jumped. She only looked slightly similar to Coralie.
"Perhaps it was her new clothes?" The policewoman asked.
"No, she likes wearing skirts."
In fact, when Skylar said this, he didn't think it was possible.
However, according to his understanding, Coralie would never buy those kinds of clothes.
"Well... I've noted that, Mr. Holland. That's the progress we have for now. If you think of something else,
please contact us again."
The policewoman took Skylar's words as his justification for not being able to accept the death of his
ex-wife.
After that, she sent Skylar away.
Skylar Holland didn't return to the company this time but went to the dam in the heavy rain.
He went to the spot where Coralie fell into the water in the footage.
Although Skylar was unwilling to admit it, he could be said to be the person who knew Coralie the best
in the world. When he saw the petite figure on the video, he knew it was Coralie.
However, he didn't know why Coralie was wearing such a strange shirt and pants, like the clothes worn
by a teenager from decades ago. Most importantly, he didn't know why she came here alone.
When Skylar reached the dam, there was no one around.
He stood there alone for a long time, looked at the surface of the water and asked repeatedly, "What
the h*ll are you hiding from me?"
A staff member of the dam passed by and saw Skylar standing there. He was frightened by the sight
and immediately ran over to pat him on the back. "Sir, every problem has a solution. You don't have to
end your life."
Skylar looked at him and asked, "Do you know that someone jumped down from here a few days ago?"
The man nodded as soon as he heard that. He said, "Of course I know. Well, my job was easy before,
but since she jumped down from here, my leader asked me to patrol three times a day. I can't even
sleep on the night shift because of the patrol. What a shame!" He complained.
The staff didn't know who Skylar was, so he poured out all his complaints when Skylar asked him.
"Is there anything else?" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"No, the police have been investigating in the rain for the past two days here but they couldn't find
anything. It seems that they only found a mobile phone, but all the things in it were deleted."
The staff said as he thought about it.
He turned his head and looked at Skylar, who was only using an umbrella in such heavy rain. His whole
body except for his head and shoulders, was soaked in rainwater.
"I'll go to the car and get you twenty thousand dollars. If you encounter anything strange, just inform me
immediately."
Skylar looked at the staff who was over forty years old. Although the staff might not be a big help to
him, he was still unwilling to give up.
As he said, he went back to his car and took out a paper bag from the car. There were exactly twenty
thousand dollars in it, and he handed it to the staff.
The staff took a look and found that there were real banknotes inside the paper bag!
Twenty thousand dollars! It was more than half a year's salary!
The staff hurriedly hid the money under his raincoat. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you
mentioned that, I remembered that I did see something weird on my patrol these days."
"What is it?" Skylar hurriedly asked.
"In the midnight right after the day when the woman committed suicide, I happened to work on the night
shift. I saw several cars here that night, and a lot of foreigners in black suits got off the cars. They
searched around for some time. I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter."
The staff knew that he had no other news, but he couldn't take the money without any contribution. So
he could only tell Skylar something he saw, although he was not sure if it was related.
"Thank you!"
After hearing this, Skylar seemed to have known something.
He had always felt baffled at Coralie's suicide.
She lived well with her mother and brother. Why would she commit suicide all of a sudden? There must
be someone forcing her to do so.
Skylar even began to question if it was Yohan who forced Coralie to her death.
......
The news of Coralie's disappearance was soon broadcasted on TV.
Finally, Hera Jean knew about this matter. She fainted when she knew about the news.
After Wayne sent Hera to the hospital, Skylar came to visit her.
At that time, Hera was still in the emergency room. Skylar paid for her medical bill before asking the
hospital to transfer her to the hospital Harvey Felton was working in when she got better.
When Wayne saw Skylar coming, he said, "Brother Skylar, my sister said that she would not die. She
said that she would come back after a while. Is it possible she isn't dead yet?"
When the TV reported this matter, they proclaimed that Coralie had drowned to death. It was also
because of this word that Hera fainted.
"I know. I believe that she will be fine."
Skylar's heart was sinking when he said this. In fact, he had seen the video footage. He was almost
certain that Coralie had drowned...
Unless there was a miracle in the world.
"Brother Skylar, I believe in you, and I have a hunch that my sister is not dead at all."
Coralie's words from before had given Skylar the courage in the face of sorrow.
......
Since there were still a number of projects under Skyton Corporation, Skylar Holland returned to the
company after visiting Hera.
As soon as he entered the company's lobby, he saw a woman quarrelling with the receptionist at the
entrance.
"I want to see President Holland! I must see him!" She shouted.
"President Holland is not in. If you want to see him, you must make an appointment first." The
receptionist replied.
"An appointment? Didn't you just say that the appointment has to be scheduled for three months later?
This is an emergency!"
Skylar stood at the door and looked at the woman who was arguing with the receptionist. She was
Josephine Lowell, Coralie's good friend.
Skylar did not have a good impression of her.
However, he still walked towards Josephine and asked, "What can I do for you?"
When the receptionist saw Skylar coming over, she immediately stood up and complained, "President
Holland, this woman insists on seeing you no matter what. I told her you were not in, and she needs to
make an appointment before meeting you, but she won't listen to me!"
Josephine turned her head and saw Skylar. She grabbed Skylar at once and said emotionally, "Skylar,
Coralie would never commit suicide. She is pregnant with your baby, there is no way that she would
commit suicide."
Her words were like a bomb exploding in the hall of Skyton Corporation.
The clamoring environment had already quieted down.
Skylar stood there and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he asked sharply, "What did you say?
Say it again!"
