Giada extended her pointer finger and gestured for her father to keep quiet. “Father, keep it down!” She picked up Abel’s phone and realized that the screen was still lit up. The screen showed Abel’s chat with Jocelyn. Giada skimmed through the page rapidly and memorized all the key details. A cruel gaze flashed across her eyes. Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out from upstairs. She placed Abel’s phone back in its original position, turned around, and sat down while acting as if nothing had happened. Abel came downstairs and spoke in a cold tone, “Uncle, I’ll ask the servants to prepare some food if you feel like eating something. As for the collaboration, I’m sorry for not being able to do anything about it!”He would not work with his uncle anymore. It was time for Giada to learn a lesson! Shawson’s lips trembled slightly. In the end, he did not manage to say anything. Jocelyn’s flight was at noon on Friday. She arrived at the airport at 10 a.m. Yuni and Davis had
Jocelyn’s steps slowed down as the person before her walked closer, his handsome face growing clearer before him. Jocelyn found herself rooted to the spot. Although Jocelyn had not seen Walter in two years, she still recognized him at first sight. Walter was someone that was extremely familiar to her. Jocelyn suddenly reacted as Walter walked close to her. She turned around frantically and faced the wall as her body stiffened. After their separation two years ago, she had never expected to see him again in her lifetime. She caught sight of Walter passing by her from behind in the corner of her eye. Jocelyn immediately turned around and took large steps toward the lounge. It was as if someone was chasing her from behind. Walter took a few steps forward. He then seemed to sense something as he suddenly slowed down and turned around. He could not help but frown when he saw those frantic steps. The girl’s silhouette resembled Jocelyn. However, Jocelyn was not as tall as she w
Skyler Moore? Jocelyn’s emotions were beyond complicated. Was he one of the judges for the competition? She had not seen Skyler in almost a week. She suddenly recalled everything that had happened the last time they met when she caught sight of him. Some indescribable feelings rose to her mind. Davis was stunned when he saw Skyler as well. He had no idea that the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition had invited Skyler to be one of their judges this time around. Yuni grabbed onto Davis’ arm in excitement. She exclaimed in a hushed tone, “It’s President Moore!” The other designers were beyond excited as well. Skyler stood out the most among all the middle-aged and old judges. He was the youngest judge, and he was extremely handsome as well. Jocelyn saw a few female designers looking at him with bedazzled gazes in their eyes.Skyler pretended not to notice any of the gazes directed at him. There was a calm and nonchalant expression on his face. He became the center of ev
Yuni turned around frantically. She stammered as she said, “President…President Moore!” Jocelyn looked at Skyler in a daze. She was shocked by his sudden appearance.Skyler looked at Yuni icily and said, “Jocelyn White is right. I’m married!” Yuni’s jaw dropped in shock. Skyler took a step forward and cast a heavy gaze at Yuni. “Miss Shaw, am I required to make a full-on report to all of you about my marriage?” Yuni had already been feeling guilty. When she saw the cold expression on Skyler’s face, she was terrified. “No…no, President Moore… I… I didn’t mean that. I was just…” Skyler huffed coldly and said, “I don’t care what you meant. Let me tell you this. Whether I’m single or married has nothing to do with you. Do you know what type of people I hate the most?” Yuni was completely stupefied. She stared at Skyler in shock and shook her head in a daze. There was a terrifyingly dangerous expression on Skyler’s face. “I hate people that discuss my private matters the m
Skyler’s expression darkened. He must be a fool to try to test out Jocelyn’s reaction.She even mentioned Abel. How annoying!He spoke to her coldly with a stony expression on his face. It was as if Jocelyn owed him a fortune. “I got it!” Jocelyn nodded and repeated, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the room first!”Skyler ignored her. Jocelyn pursed her lips, turned around, and left. As soon as Jocelyn entered the room, Skyler kicked the wall angrily. A grey footprint appeared on the wall, which was embossed with white patterns. Just then, a waitress passed by. When she saw Skyler kicking the wall, she could not help but say, “Sir, you’re vandalizing the hotel!” There was a terribly unpleasant expression on his face. Even a mere waitress was trying to go against him!His face darkened as he shouted, “So what if I vandalize it!” The waitress frowned. Skyler seemed to be a reputable man. He was well-dressed as well. Why was he asking such a foolish questio
Jocelyn frowned tightly. Her neck felt rather itchy. She reached out her arm to scratch at it.Her neck grew even itchier. After a while, her face flushed red. She reached out her hand to feel her face. She felt extremely uncomfortable.She closed her eyes in pain. She felt like her entire body was heating up.Jocelyn was not a fool. She could clearly feel that something was wrong with her. This feeling felt extremely familiar. It felt like… she was allergic! The more Jocelyn suffered, the clearer her mind was. She thought about how everyone in the design department had a gathering in Serene Court when she previously won an award in a competition. Back then, everyone found out that she was allergic to seafood. She then recalled the bowl of pork congee that Yuni had taken for her today morning. She thought that the congee tasted weird back then, but she did not think much about it. That was because she usually did not eat seafood due to her allergy. Now that she thought about it,
Jocelyn was shocked. “Mr. Moore, what are you doing?” There was a cold expression on Skyler’s face. “If you were a stranger, I’d still send you to the hospital given how terrible you look right now!” Jocelyn resisted the urge to throw up and said, “You can put me down! I can walk myself!” Skyler felt like choking her in rage. “Your legs are trembling so badly. Are you sure you can walk on your own?” Jocelyn kept quiet for a while. Skyler exuded an icy aura as he carried Jocelyn and took large strides toward the car park. Jocelyn’s face was pressed up against Skyler’s chest. She caught a whiff of the faint scent of mint on his body. At this moment, she felt rather at ease. Skyler knew that Jocelyn had held on for such a long time only after eating some allergy pills. Her condition had not improved much. She must be suffering badly. He drove extremely quickly and sent Jocelyn to the nearest hospital. Jocelyn found it harder and harder to breathe. She frowned and bit
Davis rushed into the room with a panicked expression on his face. “Jocelyn, are you alright?” Yuni had just told him that Jocelyn was feeling unwell. He felt highly regretful. If it were not for his carelessness, this might not have happened to Jocelyn. Skyler was extremely dissatisfied with Davis. An unpleasant expression appeared on his face when he recalled that Jocelyn had had breakfast with him. He cast a dark look at Davis and spoke to him in an angered tone, “She would have lost her life if she waited for you to find out about it and send her to the hospital! Do you still think that she’s alright?!” Davis looked at Jocelyn with a guilty expression on his face. “I’m sorry, Jocelyn. I just found out about it!”Jocelyn shook her head and said, “It’s alright, this has nothing to do with you. I wasn’t careful!” Skyler felt extremely irked when he heard what Jocelyn said. He frowned and glanced at Jocelyn. He then huffed coldly, turned around, and walked outside. D
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
