Even so, Amelia did not give up. She decided to rely on her own strength to save Valerie.
Even if there was only a sliver of a chance.
The next day, the first thing Amelia did was to go and see Valerie.
Valerie, who had been locked up in the detention center for a few days, had already lost weight. Her
hair was disheveled and she did not wear any makeup. It seemed like she was not angry at all.
"My Valerie, how did you become like this?"
Tears streamed down Amelia's eyes as soon as she saw Valerie's state.
"Mom, you and Dad must find a way to save me!"
Valerie couldn't stop her tears from falling when she saw Amelia. She had suffered a lot in the detention
center in the past couple of days.
"Yes, wait for me. I won't let you stay in there for too long!"
"Okay, Mom..." Valerie struggled to speak through her sobs. In order to make Amelia sympathize with Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
her, she quickly said, "I am so miserable here. Everything I eat here is spoiled. It is worse than pigs'
food. The bed is only a thin quilt. Lying on it is no different from lying on a hard board, and..."
Valerie told her what had happened to her there.
Hearing her words, Amelia's heart ached even more. She was crying so hard that she wanted to take
away Valerie's suffering.
"Don't worry, I won't let you stay in there for too long!"
"Well, Mom, I'll wait for you!"
Valerie was very clear- headed and realized that Amelia did not ask her whether she was the one who
had done those things. After all, at this time, Valerie was not sure if she wanted to lie to her family.
When Amelia left the detention center, she cried so hard she could no longer speak. Her eyes had also
swelled up.
She returned home and asked around. After learning that Coralie had been discharged from the
hospital and was directly sent to Harvey's hospital, she quickly took a taxi there.
Ever since she had been admitted into the hospital, Coralie had been treated as a VIP. In addition,
Skylar had also served her very well since he hired the servants for her.
When Amelia entered the ward, she saw that Coralie, who was lying on the bed, had a rosy color in her
complexion and had gotten a little plump.
Next to her was a bowl of chicken soup and there were all kinds of fruits beside it. Moreover, the
temperature of the ward was just right and the bed was comfortable.
The difference between this and Valerie in prison was like heaven and earth!
Amelia went into the ward. She had made up her mind and knelt down in front of Coralie.
"Auntie Harington."
Coralie had not seen Amelia in a long time but what she did not know was that Amelia frequently knelt
down as a trick. She took advantage of her age and often used this method as a form of manipulation.
Last time, she had done the same thing when she forced Skylar to take Valerie.
Coralie was lying in bed. She immediately wanted to get out of bed and help Amelia up. At this time,
the servant, Clarice, who had been hired by Skylar for Coralie, witnessed the scene. She immediately
held Coralie down.
"Madam Holland, please lie down," Clarice said as she went to help Amelia up. "Auntie, is there
anything you need from me and Madam? Please get up and tell us."
Clarice had not been in the room earlier. Now that she had entered, Amelia felt even worse when she
heard her call Coralie 'Madam Holland'.
Kneeling there, she shook off Clarice's hand and said, "Miss Chariott, I'm not a person who would
simply beg for help. I hope you can talk to President Holland and convince him to be the bigger man
and let Valerie go."
Hearing this, Coralie realized that Amelia was doing this for Valerie. She quickly sat up and said,
"Auntie Harington, I don't have a say in this matter. Everything is decided by Skylar."
"He's doing it to avenge you. He feels aggrieved that you were kidnapped but Valerie has lost one leg
in order to save you. What else can you do? Do you want her to go to jail? She was forced to collude
with those kidnappers. Think about it. She is a young lady. How could she do such a thing?"
When Amelia spoke, she was crying so hard that she could not even speak.
Her implication was that Valerie was her pitiful daughter.
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I really don't have a say."
Coralie remembered that Skylar mentioned that he had found the driver who had crushed Valerie's
legs. From his words, Coralie also figured that she had guessed correctly; Valerie had indeed staged
the accident.
If that was the case, then Valerie really didn't deserve any sympathy.
"No, you see, now you and President Holland are together and happy. Why do you have to drag Valerie
into the mire? Isn't it a good thing that she won't bother you?"
Amelia knelt down and took a few steps forward. She held Coralie's hand and pleaded with her
tearfully.
Coralie looked at the woman in front of her who was about the same age as Hera, kneeling and
begging her. She didn't know how to deal with it, although she knew in her heart that it was impossible
to forgive her.
However, she didn't know how to drive her away at that moment.
"Auntie, please get up first. It's not good for your knees if you continue to kneel like this."
"I won't get up. I promise you that as long as Valerie comes out this time, I will send her abroad and
she will never bother you again, okay?"
Amelia took Coralie's hand and her tears fell on the back of her hand.
If it was someone else, Coralie might have felt a little sad, but when Amelia's tears fell, Coralie felt a
little awkward.
She wanted to wipe her hand, but Amelia was tightly gripping it.
Clarice saw the uncomfortable expression on Coralie's face and immediately understood what she
meant. She picked up the tissue next to her and wiped the spot where Amelia's tears had fallen.
"Thank you."
Coralie expressed her gratitude.
Amelia got very angry when she saw this scene. She was the lady of the Rae family. How could she be
looked down upon?
However, he was also aware of her own position.
"Miss Chariott, I will bow down to you! I'm begging you!"
Amelia did not care about her dignity anymore. She knelt down and bowed low to Coralie.
Coralie was so scared that she quickly got out of bed. She half knelt and said, "Auntie, you're making
things very difficult for me. Get up quickly. If you need anything, you can find Skylar. I really..."
"Auntie Harington, I didn't expect you to approach my wife and cause trouble!"
Before Coralie could finish her words, a man's voice came from the door.
Coralie immediately recognized Skylar's voice. She quickly raised her head and looked at the man with
pleading eyes. She said to him, "Skylar, quickly come and persuade Auntie. No matter what I say, she
won't listen to me."
Amelia's dignity had already been thrown out of the window so she was no longer afraid. She simply
knelt and crawled toward Skylar. She begged, "President Holland, please be forgiving and let my
Valerie go. She's still young and immature."
"She's already thirty years old. Isn't she capable of being accountable for herself?"
Skylar lowered his eyes and looked at Amelia. He felt that she didn't deserve to be in that position.
"She was confused for a moment. Please, for the sake of our familys' friendship, I beg you to let Valerie
go. I promise that I will send her abroad once she comes out and never let her come back."
Amelia repeated her promise to Skylar.
The man walked past her exasperatedly. As he went to help Coralie up, he said, "Auntie Harrington, if
you don't leave now, don't blame me for calling the police."
