Morgana did not expect Skylar to loathe her so much. She was scared and she stood up. She glanced at Lillian and said, "Please, please help my son." After that, she left in a hurry.

Although Morgana had left, Lillian was still unhappy.

She had planned to break up Coralie and Skylar's relationship from the beginning. Even if Morgana was not there, she had an idea.

"Son, how could you marry a divorced woman?"

Lillian said.

"Mom, that's enough. Go and get some rest. Coralie is going to her home as well."

After all, Lillian was Skylar's mother. He couldn't treat her like how he treated Morgana.

"Coralie, what kind of trick did you use? My son had a good relationship with Valerie. How did you do this? Did your mother teach you all the time how to seduce a rich person at school?" "Mom, stop talking."

Skylar wanted to stop Lillian.

"Stop talking? When you're deceived to the point of losing everything, it would be too late then."

Lillian had always favored Valerie, a daughter-in-law that would give her luxury presents. As long as she could drive Coralie away, Valerie would definitely become her daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Coralie did not retaliate, Lillian added, "You women from small families think about seducing rich people every day. You want to change your fate by marrying someone rich. Your parents don't work hard and don't want to make any progress in life. They only think of using their daughter to seduce rich people to change their lives. Aren't they ashamed of this?"

"Auntie, your son was the one who came to me, and he wanted to sign an agreement with me to marry him for a year to bring good luck to his grandmother." Coralie couldn't bear it, and she finally decided to tell her this. "At that time, I didn't agree, but there was a fire in my house, and my mother and brother were in the hospital, I needed money so I agreed to do this. I'm sorry, but it is only going to be for a year. When Valerie comes back, he will still be Valerie's. Are you satisfied?"

"Coralie, what are you talking about?"

Skylar was angry. He immediately grabbed Coralie to his side, and he was obviously furious.

He didn't expect Coralie to tell Lillian about the agreement!

"One year? An agreement? What do you mean?" Lillian couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"It's none of your business." Skylar pulled Coralie and said, "Follow me upstairs."

"Skylar, I know that I have an agreement with you. Granny is in poor health for the time being, and I can't regain my freedom. However, I can't listen to her insult my parents all the time. It's okay if she insults me, but not my mother."

When Coralie said this, her heart was in a great pain.

She knew that by saying that, she had made her choice. One year later, she would have to separate from Skylar, regardless of what happened.

"Son, is she telling the truth?"

"It's true."

Without waiting for Lillian's reply, she answered her question, and then left with her bag.

However, before she left, she did not bring along the access card.

Seeing Coralie leave, Lillian was even happier. "Oh, so that's how things are. Son, why didn't you tell me this earlier? I was so worried. It was my fault for insulting Coralie's mother. But if you had made things clear in the beginning, there wouldn't have been so many issues,"

Lillian said as she took off her coat.

"Mom, I chose not to quarrel with you in front of others just now. I just wanted to show you some respect. If this happens again, I won't care that you are my mother."

Did Skylar not know that Lillian had gone too far just now?

He wanted to get Lillian to stop talking and then advise Coralie. However, he didn't expect Coralie to lose control and blurt out about the agreement.

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. It's my fault for blaming you for your filial piety. Come, let mom cook for you."

After hearing about the agreement, Lillian's mood was relaxed.

"There is no need for that. Just go home. I'm going to chase after Coralie. Maybe I won't come back today."

After Skylar finished speaking, he took his coat and went out of the door.

Lillian was angry when she saw her son chasing after Coralie. However, when she recalled that their relationship was only going to last for a year, she felt satisfied. Looking at the limited-edition watch that Valerie had bought for her, which was on her wrist, she felt even happier.

"Oh, so Valerie will definitely become my daughter-in-law. She has such good taste. I will have more limited-edition products in the future,"

Lillian said to herself.

She wanted Valerie to be her daughter-in-law just to save money. After all, Skylar's father gave her limited pocket money every month.

Coralie held onto her coat and she felt sad.

However, when it came to love and family, she had to choose her family.

Although she was a little impulsive when she mentioned the agreement just now, it was the best outcome. In this way, the relationship between Skylar and herself would no longer have any obstacles. There was no need for her to worry that Lillian would stop them.

Perhaps this was the best outcome.

"Coralie!" Coralie walked ahead, and Skylar caught up from behind her. He grabbed Coralie's wrist and held it tightly in his hand. "Who allowed you to tell my mother about the agreement?"

He could already imagine Lillian bringing up the agreement whenever she wanted to.

"I told you the reason just now. You are very important, but my family is also very important,"

Coralie said.

"I'm sorry that my mother acted in this manner. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"You don't need to apologize. It's true. In fact, I have already known that you and I are totally different people. You are President Holland of Skyton Corporation, and I am just an ordinary woman. I don't have any skills or beauty. I am no better than Valerie in any aspect."

Coralie felt extremely inferior.

She had always known that the difference between Valerie and herself was like heaven and earth. Especially after seeing her the last time, she felt that Valerie and Skylar were like a prince and a princess together.

"So what?"

"So what? Our relationship won't last for a long time, but if it only lasts for one year, everyone will be very happy, right?" Coralie looked up at Skylar. He was perfect in all aspects, with his symmetrical facial features, gorgeous eyebrows, and bright eyes. He was so intimidatingly perfect.

When she was in college, she might have been on par with Skylar, but after so many years, she had wasted her time, whereas he had become even better.

"Are you happy?"

"Me? I'm happy. I'm willing to spend this year with you. Don't worry about anything. But after a year, please divorce me. We won't interfere with each other's lives." This was Coralie's biggest wish.
