You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 43

Hearing the sound of screams, the people around the plant, as well as the employees from Skyton

Corporation, came over quickly. They surrounded Corrine Quincy.

When they looked up, they saw Coralie Chariott standing on the balcony of the sample room on the

second floor. She seemed shocked and horrified.

All of this seemed to indicate that she had pushed Corrine off intentionally.

"No, I didn't push her!"

Coralie was frightened.

She ran downstairs, but several security guards surrounded her quickly and blocked her from leaving.

"I'm sorry. You can't leave before the police arrives."

Two security guards held both of Coralie's arms.

The onlookers immediately gathered around her as soon as they saw her coming down.

"I didn't push her. She jumped down by herself!"

Coralie explained.

"She fell from such a height, and might killed herself!"

"Yeah, who would be so stupid as to jump down from such a height?"

"Oh my god, I really didn't expect that there would be a murderer in our company!"

Coralie was dragged out by the security guard. She looked helplessly at the people around her.

Previously, she was regarded as a thief, but now, she was considered a murderer!

Why was she always in such predicaments?

She was certain that Corrine had jumped down on purpose. She didn't expect Corrine to go to such

extremes to make Coralie disappear!

At this time, the police and ambulance had arrived at almost the same time.

The shrill sound of ambulance and police vehicles drowned out the noise from the crowd.

Skylar Holland appeared at the same time as them.

Coralie looked at Skylar. Her first thought was to make sure Skylar knew that she didn't push Corrine

down! It was Corrine who had jumped down by herself!

If there was one person there who would believe her, it would be Skylar.

However, Skylar did not walk toward her. Instead, he followed the paramedics and walked toward

Corrine.

Coralie stood where she was, with her arms held by the security guards. The little hope that she had

turned into despair.

At this time, the policemen came over.

"Police! This is the murderer!" A man ran over and identified Coralie. "When we first arrived, she was

standing alone on the balcony."

"Yes, yes, I saw her as well!"

Someone beside him added.

"No, I didn't push her. She jumped down by herself!"

Coralie repeated the same words to the policemen.

However, who would believe that Corrine had jumped down on her own?

At this time, the medical staff had rescued Corrine from the bushes and placed her on the stretcher,

ready to carry her onto the ambulance.

Coralie and the policemen turned their heads at the same time.

They looked at Corrine, who was on the stretcher. There were scratches from the branches on her face

and her body. On the right side of her face, there was a very clear palm print.

It was obvious that she was slapped by someone else.

Coralie looked at the palm print and immediately explained, "She slapped herself with her left hand!"

As soon as she said that, the people around her looked at her with contempt.

"You want to shirk the responsibility that badly? Who would be so stupid as to slap themselves, and

jump off a building?

As expected, no one believed her.

Coralie raised her head and looked at Skylar, who was in the distance.

He didn't even want to be near her. It seemed that he also believed that she had pushed Corrine.

"That's right." Coralie smiled bitterly. It was clear who Skylar felt was more important, between Corrine

and herself.

Coralie's tiny wrists were secured by the cold handcuffs. "Alright, come with us to the police station."

The policemen pushed Coralie into the police car.

Coralie sat in the police car and looked back. She saw Skylar standing there with a serious expression,

but he seemed to be looking at her as well.

She quickly turned her head away.

His doubtful expression gave her hope. Hopefully, he believed her.

...

At the police station, the policemen took Coralie's statement.

She told the police what had happened before, but she could see that they were suspicious of her.

They did not believe her words.

As expected, after she gave her statement, one of the policemen informed her, "We can't allow you to

leave until we have cleared you of suspicion, and there is strong evidence to prove that the victim

jumped down by herself. However..."

As he said this, the policeman had a sardonic expression.

It was clear that no one believed that Corrine had slapped herself and jumped off the balcony.

......

Corrine woke up a few hours later, after she was taken to the hospital.

When she opened her eyes and saw Skylar next to her, her expression softened. She raised her hand

to hold Skylar's hand and said, "Skylar, I'm sorry for causing you to worry."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Her voice was soft and weak.

Skylar saw that she had woken up, but his indifferent expression did not change at all. "You jumped out

by yourself, didn't you?"

His voice was deep, and every word was cold like ice.

Corrine's hand froze suddenly, and she was stunned. She immediately denied this. "No! I am not crazy.

Why would I jump off the balcony on my own?"

She was certain that no one would believe that she would jump down by herself.

Skylar stared at her as if he wanted to see if he could pick up some clues from Corrine's reaction.

Corrine had goosebumps. She continued to say, "Skylar, I'm not trying to frame Coralie. At that time, in

the sample room, I didn't say or do anything. I know that I have an agreement with you, and I wouldn't

interfere with your life, but she scolded me and accused me of seducing her husband!"

As she spoke, her eyelashes trembled slightly and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Skylar got up and turned around after seeing her reaction. "The police will investigate this matter

thoroughly."

After that, he turned around to leave.

Corrine sobbed and said, "Well, Skylar, I do hope that they investigate this matter thoroughly. You must

believe me. She did push me."

Before she had finished speaking, Skylar left the ward.

He went to ask the doctor about Corrine's condition.

"She was lucky that there were bushes in the place where she landed. If it was somewhere else, she

would definitely be injured or even dead after falling from the second floor."

This was the doctor's answer.

Skylar had gone to inspect the place, and he found some bushes under the sample room. Beside these

bushes were flat grassland. He couldn't help but suspect that Corrine had chosen this place in

advance.

When Skylar returned to Skyton Corporation, the company was already in an uproar. Everyone knew

that there were two women in Forest Paper Company quarreling over Skylar. One of them had tried to

murder the other.

Skylar's mother also heard this news.

As soon as he sat down in the office, his mother, Lillian Ford, called him.

"Son! What have you been doing recently? Why are you involved with such crazy women?"

As soon as he answered the phone, Lillian immediately asked him this. She had some spies in Skyton

Corporation who reported matters to her. Now, Skyton Corporation's newly acquired company was torn

apart by women fighting over her son. She was notified immediately, as this incident was a major

incident.
