Jocelyn’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Skyler instinctively.Skyer remained expressionless. He spoke in a light tone. The tone of his voice made it seem like he was talking about some everyday matter instead of such cruel words!Giada’s body weakened as she raised her head to look at Skyler frantically. Tears spilled down her eyes. She grabbed Abel’s sleeve and choked out, “Cousin, I was wrong! I really made a mistake! Save me!” Abel turned around to look at Skyler with a stiff expression on his face. He said in a flat tone, “She’s a designer. Don’t you think that you’re being way too harsh on her?”No matter what mistakes Giada made, she was still his cousin! No matter how much he disliked Giada, he could not watch as her future got ruined just like that. Skyler asked softly, “Am I being harsh on her?” Nobody replied to his question. Skyler added, “Abel, I initially wanted both of her hands. After all, why would she need her hands if she loves acting
Jocelyn froze and sat down while gritting her teeth.Giada suddenly looked at Jocelyn. She crawled toward her and said, “Jocelyn White, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I was the one who ordered Millie to switch your design draft. I know that her father is sick, and she’s in urgent need of money. I bribed the people by my cousin’s side and used his account to transfer the funds to Millie!“I was naive for thinking that you wouldn’t do anything to my cousin if you found that he was behind everything. I was the one who asked someone to delete the company’s surveillance camera recordings as well. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t be jealous of you. I shouldn’t have gone against you. I really know that I’m at fault. Ask Skyler to forgive me, alright?”There was an unpleasant expression on Jocelyn’s face. She sat there stiffly without saying anything. Giada pulled at the cuff of her pants as her voice broke, she continued, “Jocelyn White, you’re a designer. You know how important a designer’
Jocelyn stared at him without saying anything. There was an unpleasant expression on her face. Somehow, Skyler felt rather uncomfortable under her stare. He laughed sarcastically and said, “Do as you wish!”After speaking, he got up and walked outside.Jocelyn knew that Skyler was definitely unhappy with her. After all, he had spent plenty of effort to find out the truth to help her out. However, she had rejected his help.Skyler would definitely feel enraged since she was not appreciating his efforts. However, she really did not want Skyler to take action himself. Jocelyn would feel terrified if he broke someone else’s hand like it was an everyday matter. Jocelyn did not know that people like Giada would not mind her so-called punishment at all. Not only will Giada not appreciate her actions, but she would only hate her more and do crazier things in the futureHowever, Jocelyn did not think of any of this right now. She had never encountered someone like Giada before. Sh
Jocelyn stiffened as her face paled. She looked at Skyler in disbelief. She felt extremely awkward.She did not expect Skyler to blurt out such words. She knew that Skyler was unhappy that she had insisted on refusing to let him punish Giada in the afternoon. He must have thought that she was a joke.However, even so, he could just have told her that he did not want to help her. Why must he humiliate her like that?Jocelyn gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red-rimmed. Her pride would not allow her to lower herself to beg for Skyler’s help. She took in a deep breath and tried her best not to lose her composure. “Right, Mr. Moore. You’re right. There isn’t any relationship between us. I was way too full of myself. There’s no reason for you to help me out, Mr. Moore. I was being rash. Let me apologize. In the future, I won’t cross the line anymore. I’m sorry!” After speaking, Jocelyn walked upstairs hurriedly. Skyler was stunned. He did not know what he had just said.
Jocelyn’s hand froze mid-air. Yale looked at Jocelyn in shock. “Miss White, are you here to look for President Moore?” Jocelyn put down her hand rather unnaturally and nodded. “Yes, I’m here to get some documents from President Moore!”Yale nodded and left the office. Jocelyn walked into the office. Skyler did not raise his head at all. His head remained lowered as he looked at some documents. He had told Davis to ask Jocelyn to come over to his office to fetch the documents regarding the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition, which will be held in Greene City, when she was free. However, he did not expect Jocelyn to come over after everything that he had told her last night.Jocelyn noticed that Skyler was completely ignoring her. She instantly thought about everything that happened last night. She pressed her lips together in a self-mocking manner. As expected, she had been way too full of herself previously. She was so naive to assume that he cared for her a little after
Lexie glanced at Jocelyn and thought that her idea was not a bad one.Then, she calmly asked, “When are you planning to go, and do you roughly know where it is? What do you plan to do if you run into a locked safe? Have you considered these problems?”Jocelyn was a bit stunned since he just had that thought but have not thought it through yet. She felt that she had lived in the White Mansion for long enough that as long as she used an excuse to go back and grab something, the servants would not notice. She intended to sneak into Michael’s study when he was not home to grab the envelope.However, after listening to Lexie, she suddenly realized that there was a good chance that Michael had placed the envelope in a safe. Lexie saw her expression and knew that she had not thought the plan through and only had an idea of it. She said calmly, “I knew you were hopeless. We’ve got no choice but to go with the last resort. I can help you open the safe but before we go, we must properly
Lexie frowned. “Someone’s back!”Jocelyn’s expression shifted and she immediately closed the document. “Lexie, let’s go!”“He’s coming up now! We’ll run into him if we go out!” Jocelyn looked around. “We can’t hide in the study or we’ll be found out quickly. Let’s…”Her gaze fell on the window next to the study. “Let’s go through the window! Quick, you go first!”Lexie glanced at Jocelyn and did not refuse as she quickly opened the window and climbed down the water pipe. Jocelyn walked to the door of the study and locked it from the inside before quickly going to the window.Lexie was halfway down and sighed when she saw Jocelyn climb out of the window.The two girls had never done such a dangerous thing before. Lexie struggled to finally climb down the water pipe and not only did she cut her hand but her arms were slightly shaking too. Jocelyn just climbed onto the water pipe when she heard someone kicking the door of the study. She guessed that it was definitely Michael
“You’re despicable!” Jocelyn was furious at Michael. She did not understand how someone she had admired since she was a child could turn into someone so hateful. It was said that a daughter is the lover of her father’s previous life but in this case, she must have been his enemy!She really did not understand why Michael would treat her like this!Michael said indifferently, “Despicable or not does not matter as long as I get to my goal. Jocelyn, my patience is limited!”Jocelyn was angry and sad to the point where Lexie could see her eyes redden. She could not hold back her anger as her tone was cold and vicious. “Mr. White, are you still human? Jocelyn is your daughter!”Michael frowned. “Who are you?”Lexie was furious. “Didn’t you just say you wanted to sue me? How can you not know who I am? I’m telling you, don’t go too far and don’t underestimate the weak. It’s just a letter so do you really think that you can control Jocelyn for life?“As for sending me to jail, pfft
Chapter 825Skyler then left.Marcel turned to Georgina, and Georgina immediately hunched her back in fear.Marcel shook his head resignedly. He couldn't believe Georgina would do such a nasty thing with Josie. If Georgina had not been his daughter, he would never have defended her.However, Georgina was his daughter. He was looking forward to Raina’s coming back one day, so the family could get back together!Marcel feared that if something happened to Georgina, Raina would not forgive him!...In the evening, Skyler and Jocelyn pack their stuff for their trip. They planned to take a vacation to an island the next day.Skyler was arranging Jocelyn's underwear and Jocelyn felt embarrassed. She got up from the couch and said, "I'll do it myself!"However, Skyler seated her back on the couch. "Stay here. I'll pack them for you!"Jocelyn blushed and complained, "I'm pregnant, not crippled. I can pack my stuff!"Skyler raised his eyebrows. "I know you can do this, but I want to
Chapter 824Jocelyn knew Skyler wasn't always as kind as he was in her face, but she didn't mind!...Before they went to the island for a trip, Skyler went to Marcel's house after work.As soon as Skyler got into Marcel's house, he saw that Marcel had a grave face.Skyler's eyes were cold. "Uncle Marcel, I suppose you should know why I'm here today!"Marcel looked at Skyler with guilt and nodded, "Yes, Georgina told me about it!"Skyler tried hard to get his rage under control, "I don't understand why Miss Sonnet would want to harm my wife. Miss Sonnet tricked my housekeeper away and gave the bad guys the opportunity to murder my wife!"Marcel had never felt so humiliated.He looked at Skyler with embarrassment. "It is Georgina's fault. I will teach her a lesson. Skyler, I know Georgina has gone too far, and I will punish her. But I hope you can give her a chance!"Skyler's eyes clouded over. "Can I have a word with Miss Sonnet?"After a few moments of silence, Marcel nodde
Chapter 823Abel laughed out loud, "Forget about it! You don't have feelings for me. I won't humiliate myself anymore!"Abel then stood up and stared at Jocelyn seriously. "I wish you and Skyler to be happy. He's really a good man!"Jocelyn smiled, "Thank you. I know that!"...When Skyler came back in the evening, Jocelyn told him that Abel had come earlier in the day.Skyler nodded as he hugged her, "I knew that!""We talked alone. Willa and Wilmer were not around!""I told them to leave you guys alone!""You don't mind me talking to Abel alone?""I used to mind it, but today I don't!""Why?""You've been in a bad mood lately. I hope talking to him can cheer you up! I want you to be happy!" Skyler said in a casual way. Jocelyn knew he meant it.Her eyes welled up with tears. She put her arms around Skyler's waist and buried her head in his chest. "Skyler, why are you so good to me!"Skyler stroked her hair and replied, "You're my wife. Of course, I'm good to you. I prom
Chapter 822Abel gave a bitter smile, "Don't worry. I heard what happened at your house!"Jocelyn showed a surprised look and asked, "How can you know what happened at our house?"The corner of Abel's mouth twitched and then he sighed resignedly and told Jocelyn everything that happened yesterday, and he also told her what happened between Skyler and him years ago.After hearing Abel's story, Jocelyn froze, a complicated look on her face. "So you actually wronged Skyler for all these years?"Abel felt sorry about that. He used to be good friends with Skyler!Abel nodded glumly, "Yeah, I was stupid. I blamed everything on Skyler before I found out the truth. I didn't expect Skyler would be the one to find out the truth in the end!"Jocelyn glanced at Abel and snorted, "You really were a fool for so many years!"Abel was speechless. He mentally spat, 'Did she need to laugh at me? I still felt awful when I learned that Josie was the one who caused my brother’s death.' But as he ha
Chapter 821Skyler froze. He didn't know what to say.He also loved Whitie and knew there was no other cat that could replace Whitie, but he couldn't let Jocelyn be overcome with grief forever!Especially now that she was pregnant!Skyler looked at Jocelyn with concern and took her into his arms. "Baby, don't drive me away. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. You were right. I just don't want you to be so sad, so I want to find another cat to cheer you up. Since you don't want another cat, I'll finish my work as soon as possible and take you on a trip. I'll stay with you, okay?"Skyler's voice was extremely soft. He tried to pacify Jocelyn.Jocelyn looked at him. "OK."Then after a moment of silence, she murmured, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me so much. I'm strong. I just feel sad! It feels like when my mom left me. Something was gone when they left me. But I have to move on eventually! I'll be fine in a few days!" Jocelyn was looking blankly into the air as
Chapter 820Dean had been dead for many years. Now Skyler learned the truth, but he didn't feel much too angry. He had mixed feelings in his heart.As Skyler was silent, Jake timidly asked, "Mr. Moore, can you let me go? I've told you everything I know."Skyler glanced at Jake and responded, "You're just Josie's pawn, but you're responsible for Dean's death. I've done enough to your men. I'm not going to do anything to you."Jake thought Skyler was going to let him go, and he rushed to thank Skyler. But Skyler ordered, "Jude, take him to Abel and tell Abel what happened. Then he'll be at Abel's disposal. Also, send more people abroad to find Josie!"Jude nodded and then took Jake out.Jake got really scared. He screamed, "Mr. Moore, you can't do this. I’ve told you everything. Can't you let me go?"Skyler cast an indifferent glance at him, without saying anything.He could let Jake go, but Abel should know how Dean died. Abel must still be angry about his brother's death, even
Chapter 819Skyler's eyes twinkled. He glanced at Jude and gestured for him to let go of Jake.Jake then rushed to the couch, got on his knees, and begged Skyler, "Mr. Moore, I did two things for Josie. And the other thing... involved a person's life. But it was all Josie's idea. If I tell you about it, will you let me go?"Skyler didn't say anything, his eyes stern.Did Josie make Jake kill someone? This woman was out of her mind! She had tried to hurt Jocelyn before, but accidentally got Renee killed. Skyler didn't expect she had some other crime.From Jake's tone, Skyler sensed that Josie was far more cruel than he thought.'She's such a vicious woman! I can't let her get away with this.'Skyler demanded, 'What is it? Tell me straight! I'll think about it!"Jake took a deep breath and continued, "Do you remember the car accident with Dean and his friend?"Skyler's eyes immediately narrowed. "Yes. What's about it?"Jake continued with a grave face, "Actually, the accident w
Chapter 818Jude was silent. After a few seconds, he shook his head, "I'm not sure. Jake has been in the Mauve city gang for years. He can't be trusted. But even if he doesn't tell the truth, I have a way to make him tell the truth!"Skyler leaned back on the couch, his expression grave. "OK. Someone must be behind Jake. I won't let any of them off the hook!"Jude nodded, "I'll bring Jake in!"When Jude entered the basement, Jake was standing next to Gary and Gale.Gary and Gale were awake at that moment. Seeing Jake, they groaned in pain, "Sir, did you come here to save us?"Just as Jake was about to answer them, Jude came down the stairs.Jake shivered with fear and he snapped, "What are you talking about?"Jude glanced at the two men lying on the floor like they were a pile of garbage. ‘These two guys tried to hurt Jocelyn, and there's no way Mr. Moore is going to let them go.'As for Jake...' Jude's eyes twinkled, 'It depends on whether he's smart or not.'Jude took Jake
Chapter 817Jake was stunned. In a trembling voice he asked, "Mr.…. Mr. Moore, what do you want?"Skyler cast a cold glance at him as if he were looking at an ant, and Jake felt a chill run down his spine.Skyler then nonchalantly said, "Gale tried to hit my wife with his elbow, so I got one of his arms chopped off. And Gary tried to beat my wife with a steel pipe, so I had five of his fingers cut off. They say cutting fingers hurts the most, but Gary is lucky and he's still alive. I was going to let him go. However, he kicked my cat to death, so I had to take his leg. But he's tougher than I thought. He's still alive! Jake, do you think I went too far considering what they did in my house?" Skyler said in a slow pace, but Jake was terrified.If Jude hadn't been holding on to the rope tied to Jake’s hand on his back, Jake might have collapsed to the floor.He turned to Skyler with a bitter smile and swallowed. "Mr.… Mr. Moore, what they did was outrageous! You should kill them! I
