"What?" Skylar asked.
"How is it possible to give birth to such a well-behaved child?" Jamie asked.
She stood at the door of Hendric's bedroom and observed him lying down trying to put himself to sleep
by shutting his eyes.
"I don't know," Skylar answered.
"Alas, the children that I've seen before are always making a scene. None of them would put
themselves to sleep like this," Jamie said.
Jamie closed the door of Hendric's bedroom and returned to the office.
"He's already grown up, so there's no need for me to put him to sleep," Skylar commented.
"Already grown up? He's still very small, alright? Did you bring him along when you went to sign the
contract just now?" Jamie asked.
"No, he waited for me outside."
Skylar answered her questions truthfully.
Among the younger generation of the Holland family, he liked Jamie's character the best. She was also
one of the few people who liked Coralie. Skylar, however, did not bother much about her.
However, Jamie was sulking when she heard that and said, "Skylar, you took all the trouble to bring
Hendric up single-handedly but do you know that Coralie is currently in A city? I just saw that she
brought Wayne to buy clothes."
"I know."
Skylar said without any emotion.
Skylar knew everything about Coralie's whereabouts, including Hera's illness, the transferral of
hospitals, and even Coralie's visit to the Zac family. He knew it all.
"You know? Then why did you not look for her?" Jamie became more anxious after hearing that Skylar
knew about it all along. She continued asking frantically, "Can you tell me what she is doing? Why is
she not meeting you and Hendric? What's happening between the both of you?"
As she mentioned before, she found the relationship between both of them odd. Exactly because of
this, she had always been curious about the reason behind it all this while.
She finally got hold of this opportunity to question Skylar thoroughly.
"Don't worry about it. You better worry about your future work. You have already graduated for a few
months, right? Have you thought about which company to do your internship at? You can also come to
Skyton Corporation but you have to start from the bottom."
Skylar straight out interrupted Jamie.
It would take forever for him to explain what had happened between Coralie and him.
Moreover, there was no need for outsiders to know about what had happened between them.
"Skylar!" Jamie objected.
"I won't force you if you don't want to come to Skyton Corporation," Skylar said.
He had already made things clear that if she continued to dwell on this, there was no chance of her
getting into Skyton Corporation anymore.
Jamie was stunned by his threat. She suddenly stopped. It was her utmost dream to work at Skyton
Corporation. However, it wasn't because of Skyton Corporation's reputation. It was because she knew
that Skylar would help her to cover up if she was absent or neglected work due to her side hustle.
"Alright Skylar, I'll stop asking," Jamie said.
She decided to compromise.
Actually, Jamie's interest was to become a trainer for competitive E-sports. She had not stayed idle
over the past two years while she was studying abroad. She had been busy coming up with the tactical
analysis for one of the high-ranking competitive E-sports. Currently, she was also somewhat famous in C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
the circle and there were even some smaller teams who wanted to recruit her. However, she didn't dare
to agree because she was afraid of her family's objection.
"President Holland," said a man's voice.
Jayson came in at this moment and saw Jamie standing beside Skylar. He held back what he initially
wanted to say.
"You go out for a moment," Skylar told Jamie.
He knew that Jayson wanted to discuss Coralie.
He didn't want Jamie to know that he had been sending people to keep an eye on Coralie all this while.
"What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?" Jamie asked.
She pouted unhappily but she still walked out of his office obediently.
She went out and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.
However, the door of the president's office was obviously specially designed. How was it possible that
she could eavesdrop so easily?
In the office.
"Coralie was kidnapped just now," Jayson reported.
Skylar was furious listening to that.
"What happened?"
He stood up and exclaimed loudly.
Even though she was standing outside the room, Jamie could clearly hear Skylar's response.
"I'm not too sure yet for now. The kidnappers took action when Coralie went out with her brother. Our
people have been following them," Jayson answered.
"Kidnapped? How many people were kidnapped?" Skylar asked again.
"It was only Coralie and they completely knocked Wayne out. When our people rushed to the scene,
they had already driven away," Jayson replied.
"What about Wayne?" Skylar questioned.
"He was sent to the hospital," Jayson responded.
"Notify me immediately if there is any news," Skylar said.
He clenched his into a fist and smashed them on the table.
"Ok," Jayson answered.
When Jayson was about to leave, Skylar stopped him and said, "By the way, cancel the flight tonight."
"Noted."
Jayson replied and stepped out of the room.
Skylar was trapped in a state of unprecedented fear and panic.
He had no idea who the kidnappers were and the reason behind this kidnapping.
Coralie's interpersonal relationships were extremely simple in recent years. According to Skylar's
investigation, Coralie barely stepped out of the house in S Country.
Furthermore, there were not many people who knew that she had returned to A Country.
Who would kidnap her?
What was their motive?
Jamie, who had been waiting outside the door, went back into the office after seeing Jayson come out.
She realized that Skylar's face was icy and his room was as cold as an igloo even without turning on
the air conditioning unit.
"Skylar, what happened......"
Jamie asked cautiously.
Was this still the Skylar that she knew all this while?
Skylar was always this icy cold whenever she saw him and he always had everything under her control.
However, at this moment, Skylar was panicked as he looked for his mobile phone.
"You won't be able to help anyways, so go back," Skylar demanded,
He didn't want to say anything else to Jamie.
He had made plans for many things. However, he was unsure if this sudden incident would disrupt his
original plans.
"Skylar," Jamie called.
"Go back!"
Skylar instructed loudly.
After that, he turned off his computer and left his office immediately. Instead, he went to Jayson's office
and asked, "Which hospital is Wayne in? I will go there."
"President Holland, our people have informed me that Yohan has already headed there," Jayson
replied.
Skylar understood what Jayson meant with his statement.
He had always been keeping a low profile in order to lower Yohan's guard towards him.
However, if he went over now, all his effort over the past year would have been in vain.
Skylar remained silent for a moment.
However, he was determined. "I will go over."
"I understand," Jayson replied.
Jayson couldn't defy Skylar's instruction, so he had no choice but to lead Skylar to the hospital.
Wayne was sent to an ordinary hospital when he fainted.
When Skylar arrived, he was already awake and was sitting alone on the bed.
"Skylar!" Wayne exclaimed.
His eyes lit up when he saw Skylar.
"Have the kidnappers contacted you?" Skylar asked.
He went straight to the point.
"Not yet......" Wayne replied.
"What does the kidnapper look like? Are there any obvious characteristics?"
Skylar continued to ask a few questions one after another. The main reason for his worry was that the
motive of this kidnapping wasn't clear.
"I don't know, but it's a silver van. A very ordinary type," Wayne recalled.
Silver van. Forget A City, this kind of van was abundant across the country. If they covered up the car
plate, it would be impossible to trace them.
"Do they have guns?" Skylar asked.
"Skylar, if I were you, I would definitely not show up here shamelessly. After all, you were the one who
lost the match back then."
Yohan's voice came through the door while Skylar was in the middle of questioning Wayne.
