As soon as she heard that, Coralie immediately knew who had come even without turning her head.
The only people who could come to this restaurant and be addressed as 'President Zac' and 'Miss Rae'
were none other than Jasper and Valerie.
Valerie held Jasper's arm and entered the dining room. When she looked up and saw Skylar sitting in
front of her, the smile on her face instantly froze.
"Skylar, you're back? Have your legs already healed?"
Valerie only took a second to realize who it was before she quickly pulled herself away from Jasper and
rushed to Skylar. Her tone was filled with worry.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Jasper's eyes behind the pair of glasses.
However, Skylar didn't pay any attention to her. Instead, he slightly frowned and said, "I really should
have booked the entire restaurant." After saying that, he looked at Coralie and said apologetically, "My
wife, I'm sorry."
The word "wife" rang in Valerie's ears. It stung her heart.
Coralie nodded and smiled. "I'm fine."
Valerie was filled with jealousy as she looked at the affectionate couple who was completely ignoring
her. She turned around and sat down at the table on the side without saying a word.
Jasper had been watching from the side. When he saw the unfamiliar jealousy and viciousness in
Valerie's eyes, he was slightly stunned. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
The Valerie he knew should be kind.
He had never seen such an expression on her face.
"Jasper, I'm sorry. I saw Skylar and got too excited just now."
Valerie saw Jasper's confused expression and knew that she had lost her composure just now. She
quickly apologized to him.
Jasper saw that Valerie had reverted to her usual self and shook his head. "It's my fault for booking a
table here."
"No, it's very nice here. It's beautiful. Thank you."
Valerie looked at Jasper sitting down and flashed him a beautiful smile.
Coralie glanced at Jasper. Technically speaking, Jasper was Coralie's brother. However, due to the
status of both her and her mother, in addition to Valerie's presence, the both of them had never spoken
to each other, and never would in the future.
The two tables were very close to one another.
Coralie, Skylar, Jasper, and Valerie sat in their respective seats. The four of them appeared to be very
awkward to be seated in that manner.
The dishes on both tables hadn't been served yet.
Coralie didn't know what to say to Skylar. After all, Valerie was sitting next to her. If she wanted to talk
about wedding rings, she was afraid that it would agitate Valerie.
However, Valerie had other ideas.
She sat opposite of Jasper and said, "Jasper, I intend to see your mother in the near future. I would
love to talk to her."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Jasper immediately turned to look at Coralie.
In his eyes, everything was Coralie's fault.
If Valerie's leg was fine, Amenda wouldn't have objected to them being together.
Valerie also saw Jasper looking at Coralie, and she went on to say, "Jasper, I know that you blame
Coralie, but please, don't blame her. Even if it were to be repeated again, I would still save her,
because she is the person whom Skylar loves. Isn't love supposed to be selfless?"
Every word she said made Coralie feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles in the restaurant.
In the incident that happened a few years ago, Coralie had always felt that something was strange. She
even suspected that Valerie had directed and acted it out on her own. However, she had no evidence,
which was why Valerie had always used this incident to threaten her.
When Jasper heard what Valerie said, he opened his mouth and said, "You helped them and lost a leg
from doing so, but they don't appreciate it at all!"
After he spoke those words, Skylar and Coralie were at an obvious disadvantage.
Only then did Skylar turn his head to look at Jasper. "Tell your father, didn't he always want to take on
that project at A City's Central Square? If he agrees to your marriage, I'll give him that project."
"Really?"
Jasper looked at Skylar in disbelief.
Central Square was a very good project and it was incredibly promising. Not to mention, the property
alone could bring in a huge sum of profit.
Houston had been after it for a long time, but in the end the Skyton Corporation had bought it over.
Houston had initially accepted this.
After all, Skyton Corporation had always been at the top of the development plan in A City, and even in
the whole country.
"Yes, I've always been a man of my words."
Skylar replied.
Coralie did not know how big of a project they were talking about. When she looked at Valerie's face,
she only saw that Valerie's expression had fallen.
It was as if Valerie had wanted to play the victim card to remind Skylar that she had saved Coralie back
then, but now she was digging her own grave.
In the past, if Skylar's legs could not have been healed, Valerie would probably be willing to marry
Jasper. But now, Skylar's legs were healed, and Skyton Corporation was immensely powerful.
Of course, her primary goal was to marry Skylar.
Furthermore, she had originally wanted to marry Skylar. That was what she had said to Skylar from ten
to twenty years ago!
"Okay, I'll call my father later." Jasper nodded.
"Call him now," Skylar stated. "Allow me to quickly return this favor in place of my wife, so that she
won't be in a terrible mood to pick out our wedding rings later."
Skylar had blatantly stated that they were going to pick out a wedding ring.
Upon hearing that, Valerie's heart clenched.
Although Skyler and Coralie had a child together and their relationship was great, they were divorced.
Now that he had clearly stated that they were going to pick out wedding rings, didn't it mean that they
were going to get married?
"Are you getting married? Congratulations."
Jasper was naturally happy when he heard that Skylar was going to marry Coralie.
As long as they got married, then Valerie would not even consider Skylar any longer.
"Thank you."
Coralie nodded.
Although Valerie's heart was filled with hatred, when she heard the news, she still smiled and said,
"The both of you are going to get married. Congratulations! Skylar, you're finally going to get married.
You're going to be a good- looking bridegroom. I've always dreamt of seeing you as one..."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, and her voice also sounded a little choked up.
Coralie looked at her and even if Valerie didn't say anything, Coralie knew what she wanted to say.
It would be something along the lines of, "It's just that I've wanted to be the bride who was standing
next to you."
Skylar acted as if he didn't hear what she said and went to urge Jasper, "President Zac, hurry up and
call your father."
"Alright."
Jasper quickly took out his phone and called Houston.
When he mentioned Skylar's decision, Houston almost couldn't believe it. He asked again, "Did
President Holland really say that himself?"
This was like cash falling from the sky. As a businessman, how could he believe in such a miracle?
In order to prove it, Jasper could only pass the phone to Skylar.
Skylar took the phone over and said, "President Zac, although you have done a lot of bad things
behind my back, but since I've said it, I'll definitely keep my promise. As long as they get their marriage
certificate and hold a wedding ceremony, I'll hand you the project."
One of the 'bad things' that Skylar was talking about was the incident where Houston had agreed to
give Coralie's hand in marriage to Yohan a few years ago...
