Surprised, Jocelyn turned around to look at Skyler. "Do you need anything else?"Hearing her flat tone, Skyler’s mood soured completely!How would he not know that the only reason why Jocelyn thanked him honestly was just because he helped her?Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped. Did he want anything else besides her gratitude?Skyler's expression turned dark. He really felt like he had gone out of his mind!Skyler calmly asked, "Do you wish to look for your own biological parents?"Jocelyn pursed her lips and shook her head. "For the time being, no. They threw me away so maybe they didn't want me at all. They might not even want me looking for them as long as I’m still alive.”Skyler said calmly, "I understand, you can go now!"Yvie greeted Jocelyn the moment she returned to the design department. "Jocelyn, there is a customer looking for you to customize some jewelry. They are in the reception room right now!"Jocelyn nodded as she restrained her emotions. “Bring in the c
Seeing this situation, Jocelyn did not intend to let her leave.She turned around and looked at the people in the box seat coldly. “Which one of you is Mr. Dan Lester?”Their gazes shifted evenly toward the man sitting in the dark.The man was decent looking; he had a crew cut but there was a scar on his forehead. He looked a little fierce and his gaze possessed a little ferocity as well.He coughed lightly. “Miss White, you’re here!” Jocelyn looked at him blankly. “So, you’re Dan Lester!”Dan smirked. “That’s right, Miss White, take a seat!”Jocelyn noted the foul atmosphere in the box seat and had no intention to take a seat whatsoever. She said, “I’m afraid this is not a good place to discuss jewelry customization details. Let’s chat another day!”Jocelyn was about to leave after saying that when a yellow-haired man immediately grabbed her. Jocelyn quickly grasped his wrist and broke his hand in retaliation. There was the sound of broken bones and the yellow-haired man
Abel rushed in with a murderous look on his face. He glanced at Jocelyn, whose clothes were still intact, and sighed with relief.He was followed by several others.Seeing this, Dan raised his eyebrows and said, "President Crain, what are you..."Before he could finish speaking, Abel walked up to him and immediately picked up a wine bottle. Without saying a word, he smashed it on his head.Blood trickled down Dan's head, but Abel was so angry that he kicked Dan to the ground.Dan came to and got up to fight back but in the end, Abel did not even give him the opportunity to retaliate at all. He just grabbed another wine bottle and threw it at him.Dan lost the chance to strike. Coupled with Abel's fury, he was immediately beaten to a pulp. Abel threw another bottle of wine at him. His voice was cold. "If you want to die, get up and fight me. I wouldn’t be Abel Crain if I don't kill you today!"The others were stunned and so frightened that they dared not move.Abel turned arou
Jocelyn shook her head with a smile and said sincerely, “I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have my own principles in doing things, and I will be careful in the future. Thank you again for tonight's matter. I won’t forget your life-saving grace.”Abel snorted arrogantly.Jocelyn smiled and opened the car door.Jocelyn returned to North Court Villa and Skyler was not there. Jocelyn felt a little aggrieved when she thought of what happened tonight.However, after calming down, she still felt that she was the one to blame as she was too impulsive.She should discuss Dan’s contract with Davis tomorrow and she must cancel it. She did not want to get into this mess again.She did not have such good luck to have someone save her again the second time.At the same time, Vintage Bar.Skyler drank silently while Jim raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, laughing wholeheartedly. “Say, Skyler, there is a lot of buzz in the circle, are you the one behind what happened to the
Jocelyn froze. As she felt the warmth of her collarbone, her whole body seemed to heat up.She blushed and struggled with an unpleasant expression. “Mr. Moore, let me go. You are drunk, I will take you back to your room so that you can rest.”Skyler trapped Jocelyn and was smelling the sweet fragrance on Jocelyn's body. Suddenly, his eyes shone. Did she think he was drunk?She seemed to have a higher tolerance for his drunk self than his regular self.Skyler's eyes were gloomy, and he did not know what he was thinking. He put on an act and pretended to be drunk. Then, he said in a muffled voice, “Don't move, I'm not drunk, I can still drink more later.”Jocelyn did not know if she should laugh or cry. He was indeed drunk!She felt helpless and she figured that Skyler would be in a bad mood when he woke up the next morning and found out how much of a rogue tonight.Jocelyn felt Skyler's strength loosen a little and she reached out to push Skyler away.As a result, Skyler immedia
“It's not a big deal. I heard people say yesterday that Skyler is related to what happened to the Quirrel family. I have had a good relationship with Lynn before, so when I heard this, I was a little curious. Some people said that this was because the White family had offended Jocelyn, so Skyler took care of the Quirrel family for Jocelyn,” Yvonne thought for a while and said tentatively.When Jim heard this, he snorted softly. “Yvonne, I should warn you to stay away from Jocelyn in the future. Get rid of your guesses and don't cause any trouble. It’s not just the Quirrel family, Lily and Chad also offended Jocelyn. You better grow some brains or else I can't protect you if something goes wrong!”Upon hearing this, Yvonne's face instantly paled.Thinking of Chad's tragic death, her hand holding the phone trembled. “Did Chad offend Jocelyn too?”Jim frowned and said in a displeased tone, “Did you forget that you’re the one who asked Chad to offer Jocelyn a humble apology after he of
Skyler's handsome face suddenly looked a little off-colored. His voice was stiff, “I was just asking, don’t overthink it.”Jocelyn's voice was lukewarm, “Okay, I didn’t. President Moore, what else can I do for you?”Skyler almost vomited blood, he had never felt so aggrieved before. Why did he feel like he was in a hurry to talk to her?He said bluntly as if he did not care, “No, but Jim said he wanted to get together tonight. He hopes that I can ask you over and it depends on you if you want to go or not.”Jocelyn frowned. “Will it involve alcohol again?”Skyler’s expression was unpredictable. “What do you mean again?”Jocelyn's tone sounded more helpless, “President Moore, you were drunk last night, did you forget everything?”Skyler instantly thought of what happened last night and his voice suddenly sounded a little uncomfortable. “I drank too much last night and I blacked out.”Jocelyn was even more helpless. She knew that this person must have forgotten, otherwise, he wou
“Oh, how come I never heard of this?”“If you haven't heard of this designer, then you should know about the Quirrel family. It's rumored in the circle that Skyler was so furious because of this designer.”“How do I know if what you said is true or false?”“That’s easy. You don't dare to offend Skyler, but isn’t it easy to take action against a small designer? Give it a try and you will know how important she is to Skyler.”“Why are you so kind to tell me this?”“Of course, it's because… I can’t get the man I love. I like Skyler, a lot of people in Mauve City know about this, but unfortunately, even though I like him so much, he only has another woman in his heart. He even stood me up on my birthday because of that woman. I hate her and I want so badly to tear that woman to pieces…”“Hehe... You women are really interesting, by the way, what's that woman's name?”“Jocelyn White.”…Yvonne's face was extremely off colored. She stared at Dan. “You recorded me. How despicable!”
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
