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
