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
Jocelyn looked at Skyler in disbelief and her expression unchanging. “Skyler… I…” She wanted to apologize and thank him but did not know how to say it at that moment. She stayed silent for a while before finally asking a brainless question, “Didn’t Michael say that the letter is a fake?” As soon as she said it, Jocelyn wanted to hit herself. Why did she not know what was the right thing to say! Now she finally understood why Skyler was not curious at all when he heard the servant tell him that Lily had threatened her with the letter. He had already known about it! Skyler looked at her mockingly. “At this point, don’t tell me that you don’t know that it was me that made him say that!” Jocelyn bit her lip. “Mr. Moore, I’m sorry. Thank you!” Skyler knew what she meant by that. She was sorry for misunderstanding him and thanked him for retrieving the letter. He snorted coldly. “You don’t have to say anything, I don’t need your thanks either! Initially, I was hesi
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while. The family doctor was a bit embarrassed. “Mr. Moore, Miss White said that you were clawed by a cat and she invited me over to give you the vaccine for rabies and a tetanus shot!” Skyler’s expression was incredibly foul. “It won’t kill me!” Jocelyn pursed her lips helplessly and struggled to understand Skyler’s awkward personality. He was not actually as cold as he appeared yet he insisted on making himself unapproachable. The family doctor laughed. “Mr. Moore, under normal circumstances, it’s true that it won’t kill you since the possibility of getting rabies after being injured by a cat or dog is very slim but who would know if they’ve been infected? The injection is just a prevention method!” Skyler’s expression was so upset. “Come in!” Skyler sat on the study’s sofa and the doctor quickly took out the antiseptic solution to help him clean the wound. Jocelyn quiet stood at the side as the doctor gave Skyler the shot and
Yuni had yet to notice Jocelyn walking over. Her eyes flashed as she said to Davis with a small smile, “Director Lang, since I can’t bring breakfast for you anymore, then can we go get breakfast together in the future?” Davis was stunned for a moment before smiling and nodding. “Sure!” Jocelyn was furious when she heard his response. They just agreed to have breakfast together in the future just like that? Yuni had the freedom to pursue Davis but she should not take advantage of Lexie’s loving breakfast that she put in a lot of effort for. Jocelyn was so angry. Davis had never been in a relationship so he had no experience in this aspect whilst Yuni looked like the type of woman who could manipulate a man’s mind. It was said that it was easy for girls to pursue guys so if this went on, would Lexie still have hope? As Jocelyn was pondering, she suddenly heard Yuni’s greeting. “Miss White, good morning!” Jocelyn could feel the insincerity when she looked at the smile o
Davis hesitated for a moment but still ended up speaking truthfully, “The company has decided to have you and Yuni attend the competition together. You have any thoughts about this?”Jocelyn pursed her lips. Did Davis think that she had quite an opinion about Yuni?She felt a little helpless internally. “Since it’s the company’s decision, I have nothing to say about it!”Davis could tell that there was still something weighing on Jocelyn.Since Jocelyn was unwilling to voice them, however, he did not pry. Jocelyn left Davis’s office. She had forgotten about meeting Skyler because of that matter with Davis and Yuni.During lunch, Jocelyn kept staring at Lexie. She wanted to say something but kept stalling. Lexie could not stand it any longer and her cold little face was taut. "Jocelyn, what is it you want to say? Don't keep staring at me. I can't even eat!"Jocelyn pursed her lips. "Lexie, I mentioned before that you should find a time to explain your intentions to Davis. Have
The sound of Jocelyn opening the door startled the individuals in the office.Both pairs of eyes turned to look at her simultaneously.There was a faint change in Jocelyn’s expression, she could mistake the person kneeling on the ground. It was Michael.Seeing clearly that the visitor was Jocelyn, Michael was about to stand up, but then he noticed Skyler’s cold and dark gaze. He gritted his teeth. He did not get up, his head bowed.Jocelyn's expression shifted again and again. She walked in and immediately closed the door.While she did not know what was going on, it was obvious that she was somewhat involved in this matter with Michael.Skyler looked at Jocelyn as if he saw no other person in the office. His expression was indifferent. "What are you doing here?"Jocelyn looked at Skyler and then at Michael, who was kneeling on the ground. Without answering Skyler's question, she asked, "What’s this about?"Skyler's gaze darkened. “It’s exactly as it looks!”Jocelyn's eyes fla
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
