Jocelyn immediately started acting. An upset expression formed on her face as she said, “Howard, why are you still blaming me when things have come to this point? It looks like I cannot expect you to restore justice for my sake. Right, you have married Lily. Why would you help me?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Howard was so enraged that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

A reporter spoke up at once, “Miss White, why did you think of saving your original design drafts? After all, Lily White has taken them all and submitted them to the competitions that she has joined. There won’t be a reason for you to keep them either. If you really want to sue her, you could’ve sued her countless times in these two years!”

Jocelyn rubbed her eyes. It was as if she were rubbing tears from her eyes. “Actually, I kept these original design drafts as a memory of the past. After all, I designed them myself. I only wanted to keep a copy of them. However, I didn’t expect them to come in handy in such a situation!”

Jocelyn looked even more aggrieved when she mentioned this. “I’ve never thought of suing Lily in the past. I can draw design drafts. If she wants them, I can give her a few. However, I didn’t expect her to sue me instead. I feel completely heartbroken!”

Another reporter spoke up at once, “Miss White, you said that you believed in Mr. Jung and both of you were in a loving relationship. Back then, you didn’t know that he had already married Lily White, right?”

Jocelyn nodded with “red-rimmed” eyes. “Back then, I said that because I didn’t know about the truth. I only got to know that I’ve been tricked after my friends sent me the photos of them leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau!”

After Jocelyn finished speaking, she turned to Howard, who was beyond outraged. “Howard, I’ve always believed in you. In the previous press conference, I even told everyone that we’d be getting married. Why did you trick me?!”

Howard was so furious that he started trembling all over. Jocelyn must have known that he was married back then. Otherwise, she would not be able to prepare such a complete set of evidence. What a treacherous woman!

Another reporter asked, “Right, Miss White, why would you have so many audio recordings?”

Jocelyn spoke up in a shy tone, “Actually, I’ve always had the habit of making audio recordings. When I’m bored, I felt like listening to Howard’s voice!”

Jocelyn almost vomited after hearing her own words. However, she tried her best to maintain her performance. “As for the videos, there has always been a pinhole camera at my desk. That’s because a lot of my design drafts have disappeared in the past!”

After she finished speaking, a reporter guessed, “Howard and Lily must have taken them. They act as those drafts belong to them!”

Jocelyn whimpered sadly. She looked as pitiful as a small sapling that was shaking in the wind. “I don’t know. I’ve always believed in Howard, but I didn’t expect him to have gotten married to Lily. He hid all of this from me just to steal my design drafts…”

After Jocelyn finished speaking, she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Almost everyone thought that Jocelyn was crying.

Howard was mad with fury. He disregarded the occasion and jumped up in anger at once. “Jocelyn White, you b*tch! You knew about it a long time ago! I’ll kill you!”

Jocelyn retreated pitifully. Some righteous people grabbed hold of Howard immediately.

The reporters present watched the scene while taking photos. At the same time, they gossiped among each other.

“How can there be such a treacherous man?”

“He has ruined the pride of all men! Such people shouldn’t be called men! He isn’t worthy at all!”

“How dare he try to hit Miss White when things are already at this point. I pity Miss White. She must be blind to have fallen for him in the past!”

A vague smirk formed on Jocelyn’s lips when she heard these words.

She covered her face and ran backstage. Almost everyone thought that Jocelyn was feeling extremely tormented right now. She must not want everyone to see her dejected expression.

Howard started throwing a fit from sheer rage. He flung off the two men that had grabbed him and chased after Jocelyn.

There were not many people backstage. Howard was about to chase after Jocelyn. He shouted out without thinking twice, “Jocelyn White, let me tell you this. Don’t think that you’ve won just like that. Just wait for it. You’re still a designer at Oasis Jewelry right now. I’ll sue you till you lose everything!”

After Jocelyn heard what he said, she could not resist turning around and scoffing at him. She glanced at him and retreated while she spoke, “Really? I’m so afraid of you!”

In a moment of carelessness, she collided against someone’s chest.

After that, a man’s low and raspy voice rang out, “Really? I’d like to see how you intend to sue a designer from Prosperity Jewelry and make her lose everything!”

    Howard stiffened in shock. Jocelyn immediately turned around. She was then faced with the close-up sight of Skyler’s handsome face. She was so stunned that she forgot how to speak. Skyler’s melodic voice filled her ears. Skyler raised his brow and cast a brief glance at her. “What’s wrong? Have you become dumbstruck?” Jocelyn immediately returned to her senses. She lowered her voice and asked, “No…You…Why are you here?” She lost the haughty and commanding demeanor that she had in front of Howard. She instantly transformed into a pure and innocent little rabbit. Skyler was amused. “Why can’t I be here?” Jocelyn puffed up her cheeks. Alright, she could not think of any way to refute his words. Howard glanced at Skyler. He was completely stunned as his expression changed slightly. After some time, he finally squeezed out a few words. “President Moore, why are you here?” Skyler raised his gaze and spoke in an icy tone, “I heard that you’re going to sue one of Pros

    Jocelyn stiffened at once. She turned around instinctively to glance at the cold silhouette of Skyler’s back. Her expression darkened as she glared at Howard angrily. “I’m not part of your family. You’d better stop talking so highly about yourself!” Howard gritted his teeth and said, “Jocelyn, don’t say that. I know that you’re angry. You can vent your anger at me however you wish to. Besides, I’ll divorce Lily as long as you come back. You’ll still be the boss of Oasis Jewelry. I’ll treat you well in the future. Lily’s reputation has been ruined now. You can’t leave Oasis Jewelry. If you leave, Oasis Jewelry will be done for!” Jocelyn did not expect Howard to cut ties with Lily as soon as something happened to him. She smirked sarcastically and was about to say something when Lily suddenly walked in from another door. She fixed a glare upon Howard. The expression on her face was extremely ugly.Howard stiffened in shock. “Li…Lily, why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to sta

    Skyler remained expressionless. “I won’t know about that. I can’t read his mind!” Jocelyn frowned and asked, “Then why did you say that just now?” Skyler’s brows furrowed slightly as he said, “I was just making a logical guess. Didn’t you think that Howard Jung would give you a taste of your own medicine? How foolish!” “You’re…” Jocelyn did not dare to scold Skyler. She shouted out angrily, “Even if he has an audio recording of it, I have an audio recording of the entire exchange between us just now! If he dares to cut out parts of the audio and post the snippet where I admitted to setting him up, I’ll release the entire audio to prove my innocence. By then, let’s see who everyone will choose to side with!” Jocelyn took out her phone while she spoke. The audio recording interface was still open on her phone screen. She had learned a lot during this period of time. She had to be careful in all situations! Skyler did not expect Jocelyn to continue with her recordings eve

    @ProsperityJewelryOfficial: After this plagiarism incident, whereby the official organizer of Starlight Jewelry Competition blacklisted designer Jocelyn White before carrying out a thorough investigation, Prosperity Jewelry has decided to ban all of the designers that have participated in Starlight Jewelry Competition from participating in Century Jewelry Competition. At the same time, they will not be eligible for employment in Prosperity Jewelry! As soon as Prosperity Jewelry released its statement, the official account of Century Jewelry Competition shared the post immediately. Jocelyn stared at the social media site in shock. Her voice was slightly dry as she asked, “This…Prosperity Jewelry posted this?” Lexie spoke up in a clear voice, “They’re helping you!” Jocelyn nodded repeatedly and said, “Of course, I know that. Century Jewelry Competition is one of the thresholds for a designer to enter the World Jewelry Competition. Prosperity Jewelry is the dream company of co

    Jocelyn told him the truth. “I’m moving out!” Michael spoke to her in a cold tone, “Did we mistreat you in any way? Did we not give you a room to live in?”Jocelyn pursed her lips and was just about to say something when Lily interrupted her. “Jocelyn White, you b*tch! Stop acting like you’re a good person after getting everything that you’ve wanted! You’ve sued me in return now that you’re part of Prosperity Jewelry. Since you’re doing so well now, how dare you be so pretentious and act so arrogantly in front of father?!”Lily’s gaze was so furious that it felt like she was about to burst into flames any moment.Michael shouted coldly, “That’s enough, Lily!” Lily stared at Jocelyn with red-rimmed eyes. She did not say anything.Michael continued staring at Jocelyn. “Must you leave?”Jocelyn recalled Skyler’s words and said, “I must!”Michael’s gaze flashed as he asked, “Since when did you know Skyler Moore?”Jocelyn told him truthfully, “Two days ago!” “How’s the relat

    An evil smirk formed on Chad’s lips. He looked like he was drooling as he cast a lustful gaze upon Jocelyn. He carried Jocelyn like a groom would do a bride and went upstairs quickly. Lily watched as Chad carried Jocelyn upstairs. She finally showed a sinister smile. Hmph, how dare she go against her? She was not a match for her yet! Michael cast a doting gaze upon Lily and asked, “Did this help to vent your anger?” Lily pouted and said, “Wait till we get our hands on the video. Besides, we might really be able to blackmail her through that!” Michael’s gaze flashed as he hummed heavily. “If she doesn’t want her reputation to be completely ruined, she should know what to do!” Lily smiled as she grabbed Yennis’s arm. “Mother’s idea is truly the best!” It turned out that Michael was infuriated after knowing that Jocelyn had outwitted Lily with her scheme in the afternoon. However, he pondered upon it for a while after calming down. It would not work if he tried t

    Skyler could not describe what he felt the moment he caught sight of the scene within the room. If he were one step late, Jocelyn would have been violated by this man. She was unconscious as she lay on the bed quietly like a child. It was as if she were oblivious to everything happening in her surroundings. He could not imagine that one could actually fall for such a scheme even within the confines of one’s own house. Somehow, Skyler recalled her lively gaze and unyielding attitude when she argued with him this afternoon. If she knew about what had happened, what would her reaction be then? He walked up and dragged Chad down from the bed. He then threw him by the side like a piece of trash. He quickly put Jocelyn’s skirt back on her. Chad was stunned. “You…Who are you? What are you trying to do? Why are you disrupting my happy hour?” In the twenty years or so that Skyler had lived, he reckoned that he had experienced all sorts of hardships and obstacles. Regardle

    After Skyler finished speaking, he turned around with Jocelyn in his arms. “Yale, let’s go!” Skyler carried Jocelyn and left with large strides. Michael’s face turned as white as paper. He lost his balance. “Did I hear wrongly just now? He…what did he say?” There was a terrible expression on Yennis’s face as well. She spoke up in a bitter and unwilling tone, “He said that…Jocelyn is his wife, but…but when did all of this happen? Why didn’t we know anything about it?” Michael felt beyond regretful right now. He closed his eyes in mortification and said, “It’s no wonder all of this happened!” It was no wonder Prosperity Jewelry would help Jocelyn to such extents. He had brought utter doom upon himself by offending Skyler Moore this time around! Yennis snapped angrily, “Jocelyn is getting wilder nowadays. Marriage is such a huge affair in one’s life, yet she didn’t even notify us about it. She doesn’t even see you as her father!” Michael was beyond angered right now. H

"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.

"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.

    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

"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

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.

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.
