You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 247

Before going to the banquet, Skylar specially bought a lovely suit for Hendric.

He also bought a gown for Xenia as well.

The driver arrived at the venue of the Chamber of Commerce Anniversary celebration held by Sabella's

father according to the location that Sabella had sent to Skylar. The three of them got out of the car,

stunned.

It was a private club, with a large swimming pool at the front.

At that moment, there was music playing aloud by the pool accompanied with beautiful ladies in bikinis.

There were also men dancing and drinking. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The whole scene was not child friendly.

"Here?"

Xenia looked at Skylar in disbelief.

"I'll ask again."

Skylar turned around with Hendric in his arms. That scene was not appropriate for Hendric to watch.

As soon as he took out the phone, he heard Sabella's voice coming from behind, "I'm sorry, President

Holland. This clubhouse belongs to my father's Chamber of Commerce. The son of one of the bosses

is celebrating his birthday here today. The anniversary celebration is held upstairs."

When Sabella spoke, she fixed her eyes on Xenia, who was standing beside Skylar.

Xenia was a few years younger than Coralie. She came from a wealthy family. She had a good body

figure, looking even more beautiful in a gown.

"Hi, Miss Jakeman."

Xenia took the initiative to greet Sabella, but not to flatter her, she deliberately said so because she felt

that Sabella was hostile to her.

After all, she knew what Sabella did to Coralie in the hospital a few days ago.

"Hello."

Sabella responded even though she did not feel good.

She was planning to be Skylar's partner for the night and let the media upload some photos on the

Internet. Now that Skylar had brought Xenia and Hendric along with him, it would not have been

appropriate for her to show up.

Skylar realized that it was a right decision to bring Xenia there.

They passed by the pool and reached the club. When they took the elevator to go upstairs, the music

slowly faded but it was still audible.

There were not many people at the anniversary celebration, but most of them were big shots in A city.

Due to the influence of Skyton Corporation in A city, when he entered the hall, all the bosses came and

greeted him.

"Is this Mrs. Holland? It's my pleasure to meet you."

As the boss beside saw that Xenia and Skylar were together, and he had never met Coralie, he

assumed Xenia was Mrs. Holland.

"No."

Skylar denied it.

"Yes, I'm just helping President Holland look after Hendric."

Xenia did not introduce herself. She just casually found a role for herself, which was a babysitter for

Skylar's son.

"President Holland, please excuse me to look for my father."

Sabella felt very uncomfortable that some bosses came one by one and asked if Xenia was Mrs.

Holland.

If Xenia had not attended, she would probably have been the one who was questioned.

After Sabella left, Xenia stood there for a while. Nevertheless, people still kept approaching to ask the

same question. After some time, Hendric helped to clarify before Xenia spoke, "She is not my mother."

"President Holland, I'll bring Hendric out to have some snacks."

Xenia could not stay there any longer. Hence, she excused herself and told Skylar that they would

leave together later.

After Xenia left with Hendric, Sabella came with her father, Stephan Jakeman.

Stephan had a big belly, a typical look for an experienced entrepreneur. When he saw Skylar was

alone, he asked, "Didn't you bring your child along, President Holland?"

"Yes. He went out to play for a while."

Skylar answered.

He planned to leave after greeting Stephan. After all, Hendric was still young and had a low immunity,

hence it was not a good idea for him to stay in a crowded place.

"Oh, I see." Stephan saw Xenia just now. Now that Xenia had left, he immediately took the opportunity

to ask, "President Holland, our recent cooperations are mostly because of Sabella, what do you think of

my girl?"

As a father, Stephan knew very well about what Sabella was thinking.

In addition, he only had a daughter, it was reasonable for him to dote on her.

Hearing Stephan's question, although Skylar understood what he wanted to talk about, he still said,

"Well, Miss Jakeman is very considerate and thoughtful."

He answered formally.

"President Holland, to tell you the truth, my daughter adores you. I heard that you don't have a wife..."

"President Jakeman, I have a wife."

Skylar interrupted Stephan when he was talking.

"Dad, haven't I told you about President Holland's wife? Why did you forget about it?" Noticing that

Skylar had interrupted, Sabella immediately clarified with her dad to avoid awkwardness. After talking

to Stephen, she said to Skylar, "President Holland, ignore my father. I told him about Miss Chariott

before; he is forgetful."

Sabella was clutching Stephan's arm as she spoke, still being affectionate to her father.

"It's okay."

Of course, Skylar noticed that it was a show they were trying to put up. It would be great if things went

as planned. If not, Stephan would be blamed.

Even if Skylar didn't know that Coralie was still alive, he would not have chosen Sabella, let alone the

fact that he had already found Coralie.

"Is it? Now I remember. Your wife is just an ordinary person without a strong family background. If

Skyton Corporation wants to develop, it'd be better if stronger corporations worked together. President

Holland, you're a smart person, why not..."

Stephan had already made up his mind to persuade Skylar on behalf of Sabella. Although he was

embarrassed, he did not give up.

"Dad," Sabella pouted unhappily.

"You are shy, can't I even help you with this? What's wrong with our family? Although we are not on the

same level as Skyton Corporation, we're still not too bad!"

"This is my own business, don't get involved in it."

"Get involved? You're 24. I'm worried about you even if you are not."

Skylar enjoyed the show that father and daughter were putting up.

However, to his surprise, Stephan still did not give up after knowing that he had a wife.

"Come here, waiter." Sabella raised her hand while talking to Stephen and called out to the waiter, who

was carrying a champagne.

When the waiter approached, she handed a glass casually to Skylar and said, "President Holland,

please excuse yourself. I will talk some sense into my father."

As she spoke, she brought Stephan away.

Skylar held the glass of champagne, as the waiter looked odd, he was extra cautious and did not intend

to drink it. After all, he did not intend to drink any alcohol as he brought Hendric out.

In the distance, Sabella talked to Stephan angrily while looking at Skylar from time to time.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

"Someone jumped off the building!"

There was suddenly a loud noise which came from the direction of the pool downstairs. All the guests,

who were enjoying the anniversary celebration, suddenly burst into an uproar.

The people attending the anniversary celebration upstairs also gathered around the window.

Only Skylar remembered that Xenia had brought Hendric out. He put down his glass and then went

downstairs.

When he arrived at the pool, it was already a mess. Skylar made his way through the crowd and saw

two figures lying by the pool.

It was a grown-up and a child, which were Xenia and Hendric respectively.
