The next two days passed by rather quietly.Jocelyn sought inspiration while preparing for the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition that would be held in Greene City. At the same time, she started designing Yvonne’s custom jewelry. Unexpectedly, Yvonne did not play any tricks on her this time around. She was extremely cooperative with her throughout the entire process. She liked all the designs that Jocelyn came up with as well. After completing the design draft, Jocelyn started the customization process. Everything seemed to be progressing in a good direction. However, Skyler was acting rather abnormal lately. He had developed a new hobby after coming home from work, and that was playing with their cat. He would spend time petting Whitie’s fur and fostering a closer relationship with it every day. Jocelyn was speechless toward his behavior. After all, he had brought Whitie home. He could pet it if he wished to. She had no right to interfere.However, other than petting Wh
Jocelyn clearly saw the speeding car colliding into the passenger’s seat of the other car maniacally. The two cars collided against one another, and a loud crash resonated through the air. The cars broke as fresh blood splattered across the car windows. The scene before Jocelyn was gruesome and terrifying. Jocelyn never knew that a human being could bleed so much. She was stunned for a few seconds. She then stood on the brakes at once. However, the car behind her was yet to realize what had happened. It continued driving forward and collided with the back of her car. It had been driving at a rather high speed. Jocelyn’s car got pushed forward by the car behind. Her car then collided with the car in front of her. Jocelyn’s car shook. She hit her forehead against the steering wheel, and she felt a piercing pain in her forehead. There must be an open wound on her forehead. She did not pass out, but she felt rather dazed. It felt like she could not control her limbs. T
There was a terribly unpleasant expression on Skyler’s face. He stumbled a couple of steps back.The nurse left in a hurry after speaking.Skyler’s body swayed. He held onto the wall for balance. He then slumped down on the bench next to him. He stared at Yale, stunned. “What did she say just now? Jocelyn White lost both her legs? How is that possible? She must be lying to me!”Skyler could not imagine how would someone as prideful as Jocelyn live after being handicapped! There was a pained expression on Yale’s face. He did not know how to comfort Skyler. “President Moore, take care of yourself! Nothing bad will happen to Miss White since she’s a good person!” Skyler let out a mocking laugh. “Nothing bad will happen to her… The car collided with her car although there’s only a terribly small chance of something like that happening!” Skyler suddenly wondered if this was karma. If he had not schemed against Lynn, Lily, and Howard, this might not happen right now. Yale look
Lexie stood by the side while waiting for Jocelyn. She did not walk forward either.Jocelyn raised her brow. “Director Claude!” Zayn was beyond worried. “Jocelyn, are you alright?” Jocelyn shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I just have a wound on my forehead. The doctor was afraid that I’d suffer from a concussion, so he asked me to get a scan of my chest and head.” Zayn sighed in relief and nodded. “The doctor was right. You should receive a thorough examination. After all, some people experience concussion a long time after getting into a car accident!”Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll receive all the examinations!” Zayn looked at Jocelyn and tried to say something. However, he stopped himself before he could ask her anything. “You should get examined first. After that, there’s something that I’d like to discuss with you!”Jocelyn frowned. “What is it? Can’t we talk about it here? It’s late now. I think the sky will be dark once it’s all over. She had gotten off work
Jocelyn believed most of what Zayn had said. However, she still insisted on being stubborn. “He’s not God. How can he know that all of this would’ve resulted in such an outcome? Do you think that he was behind Lynn’s miscarriage and rape as well?!” Jocelyn took Skyler’s side instinctively. Even if this incident really had something to do with Skyler, she would still take his side in front of Zayn. Zayn sighed in exasperation and said, “That’s why I think he’s extremely skilled. Three of them were met with terrible outcomes, but Skyler did not do anything illegal. Lily was the one behind Lynn’s rape and miscarriage. Lily deserves everything that happened to her. Jocelyn, Skyler is a terrifying person. You… you should keep your distance from him!”Lexie glanced at Jocelyn instinctively after hearing what she said. Jocelyn pursed her lips as she looked at Zayn. “Director Claude, these are all just your guesses. You can’t deem him guilty just because of your personal views!”Zayn
Zayn stared at Skyler. There was a hostile gaze in his eyes. Jocelyn felt rather exasperated. Zayn was obviously just worried about her. She was afraid that Zayn would say something inappropriate in front of Skyler. She immediately explained things to him. “Director Claude! Mr. Moore purposely came over to visit me after he found out that I got into a car accident!” After speaking, she explained things to Skyler again. “Director Claude found out that I got into a car accident. He used his authority to help me receive a full body examination in advance!” Skyler looked at Zayn expressionlessly after hearing what she said. He spoke in a lukewarm tone, “Thank you, Director Claude!” Zayn, who was always calm and gentle, had a dark expression on his face. “Jocelyn got into a car accident because of Lily White!” Skyler seemed to sense something strange as well. He took one step ahead and stood in front of Jocelyn instinctively. “Is that so? If that’s the case, this doesn’t ha
Jocelyn’s heart lurched. She then spoke up and started stammering, “Mr.… Moore!”She looked at Skyler’s icy but handsome face fearfully. She was extremely anxious. Skyler walked down the staircase step by step with a calm expression on his face. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Jocelyn wanted to ask him about the accident, but she did not have the courage to ask him about it directly. She tried to start the conversation with another topic. “Mr. Moore, you asked me to meet you at Jubilee Club in the evening. May I know if anything happened?”Skyler did not look at Jocelyn. He walked over in his sleeping robes and sat down on the sofa. Whitie no longer feared him after receiving plenty of cuddles from him in the past two days. After seeing Skyler walk over, White raised its eyes to look at him lazily. It did not run away from him. Skyler took Whitie into his arms and looked at Jocelyn. “That’s not what you wanted to ask, right?”After seeing Zayn’s attitude toward him today, he g
Jocelyn had a feeling that if she were she say that she sympathized, Skyler would come forward and pinch her. She shook her head with a dazed look. “No, I did sympathize with her before but, that was because I didn’t know that she was willing to let people die for her own selfish desires. After knowing how malicious she was towards me, my only regret is that I sympathized with someone like her!”A light flashed in Skyler’s eyes and he snorted softly. “You’re so dumb!”Jocelyn glared at Skyler with a frown. “Then why are you doing this? The one they’re after is me and it has nothing to do with you!”Skyler's expression turned sour. “Jocelyn, did you forget who you are?”Jocelyn pouted. “So, you’re doing this because of me?”Words could not describe the complicated feelings in Jocelyn’s heart. Skyler was rather hypocritical since he had a soft expression yet his words were harsh. “You’re overthinking it. As long as I’m accountable for you, I wouldn’t let anyone do something like
