After the host finished announcing the list of winners, the expressions on the faces of the designers in this circle were very interesting.They glanced at Bella, then at Jocelyn.In the next second, everyone tried to distance themselves from Bella.There were different expressions on their faces. Contemptuous, ridicule, speechless…Bella stared at the host on stage in disbelief, her mouth crooked with anger, and her delicate little face became distorted. She never thought that this would be the result.A circle of pragmatic designers came to congratulate Jocelyn. Yet, Jocelyn's expression was always indifferent.The group of reporters also reacted and hurriedly took pictures of Jocelyn.Some of the smart reporters remembered just now that this group of people said Jocelyn had an allergic reaction during the competition. She could still win after getting an allergic reaction, what an antic!Hence, they quickly and carefully asked someone to inquire about the situation at that t
Jocelyn choked. Could she refuse?Skyler stared at Jocelyn and did not say anything.He lost his temper that night and never showed up in front of Jocelyn again.Now, he knew very well that he was bothered by that. Jocelyn is willing to listen to his words and talk to him just because she remembered his life-saving grace.However, in her heart, they were still in the relationship dictated by the agreement.Skyler felt agitated. It was what he wanted in the first place, and now he did not want it anymore.He was upset when he saw Jocelyn because her cold attitude toward him made him uncomfortable, and he wanted to find a place to vent his emotions.However, he started missing Jocelyn when he could not see her.When he recalled the various warnings he made to Jocelyn at the beginning, Skyler finally felt what it was like to shoot himself in the foot.They had not seen each other for two days. When Skyler looked at Jocelyn at this moment, his mood seemed to calm down.Jocelyn did not noti
Skyler slowly took the phone a little further away, a trace of impatience flashed across his eyebrows. “What do you want?”Josie's voice sounded angry and aggrieved. “Fiona meant something to me, how can you treat her like that? What heinous thing did she do? Do you need to cut off her hands like this? She won’t be able to hold a paintbrush in her life anymore!”Skyler completely ignored her anger and said indifferently, “It's her fault so she can't blame anyone else.”She hurt Jocelyn, so it was more than heinous.He almost lost Jocelyn from the anaphylactic shock. So, this was lenient by his standards.Skyler's attitude was a huge blow to Josie.Her voice dropped and she said with deep sadness, “Skyler, you've changed. Since you got the marriage certificate with Jocelyn, you've turned into such a stranger to me.”After he heard Josie mentioning Jocelyn, Skyler's expression turned completely cold, “This has nothing to do with her. Fiona is jealous of her and wants to take actio
For some unknown reason, Abel stubbornly believed that Skyler must have something to do with the death of his elder brother Dean.He always believed that Skyler killed Dean and that friend in order to avenge his girlfriend.He also refused to believe Skyler’s explanation.Since then, Abel's emotions towards Josie had become extremely complicated, and he would always cause trouble for Skyler.He knew that his elder brother was at fault, but it was not enough for him to die. So, his friendship with Skyler had ended since then.Dean died and Abel was the only child left in the Crain family.The living would continue to live.Since then, the relationship between Skyler, Abel, and Josie had become what it was later.Skyler was in a tepid relationship with Josie for a few years and he hyped her to the admiration of everyone in the jewelry industry.He even… He even planned to marry her in the end as compensation.It was a pity that she was never content. She wanted fame, fortune, s
Jocelyn froze when she heard this voice.She had already met Walter at the airport, even though Walter did not see her at the time.Jocelyn bit her lip. She really did not expect that she would meet him again in two years in such an embarrassing situation. Walter appeared when she was being insulted so much that she could not raise her head.Walter could not bear to look away from Jocelyn when he saw her lowering her head, not looking at him.He only heard Renee's last sentence just now, but even so, he could guess that Renee must have said something mean.Moreover, it must be something that satirized Jocelyn so that was why she was powerless to refute.Walter was angry and distressed when saw this little girl whom he protected for so long getting bullied again. Lexie was glaring at him with a straight face. Her eyes were burning as if she was feeling injustice for Jocelyn.Walter was a little helpless. He looked at the reception indifferently and said in an unassailable tone,
Walter had always been a gentleman, and he had never been so ungentlemanly or so unkind to a girl.However, today, his behavior was the exact opposite of what he used to be.Walter knew what she meant, and his tone was indifferent, “Jo, that was nothing when it comes to protecting someone I care about.”Jocelyn pursed her lips; her expression was tense.For a while, she did not know what to say.She really could not get used to how Walter was still as nice to her as he was two years ago.Obviously, their relationship was long gone, so why was he still doing this?Jocelyn bit her lip, feeling inexplicably depressed.Walter saw that something was wrong with her, and he told himself that he had to take this slow.He changed the subject, “Jo, I heard that you are working at Prosperity Jewelry now, right?”Jocelyn nodded absently. “Yeah.”Walter smiled; his tone as gentle as a spring breeze. “If you need anything in the future, you can ask me for help. If someone causes trouble f
Walter looked at Jocelyn with a smile on his face. It was as if everyone was making a joke that did not really matter.Jocelyn's eyes sank. Her voice was clear and emotionless when she said with an extraordinarily serious expression, “I will drink ten shots as punishment.”Upon hearing this, everyone froze. Even Jordan was dumbfounded.He said, “Jocelyn, don't. How disappointing will this be? Isn’t that just a kiss?”Jocelyn raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly. “I have a boyfriend and Walter also has a fiancé, so this is inappropriate.” Walter frowned as if trying to explain something. “Jo…”Jocelyn did not pay attention to him. After she finished speaking, she took the wine bottle in one hand and the wine glass in the other before drinking directly.Ten shots were not a small amount nor was it a large amount. Yet, she still finished them without a word.Walter's expression was unreadable, and no one could tell what he was thinking.When he recalled Jocelyn saying that
Jocelyn ignored everyone's gaze, pursed her lips, and said softly, “Are you busy?”She did not call him President Moore or Mr. Moore, and she did not call him by his name too for fear of exposing herself.It was quiet on the other end of the phone. Skyler was silent for two seconds before he said, “I'm not busy, what's the matter?”Someone jokingly mouthed with a smile on their lips, “Ask him what he’s doing.”Jocelyn saw everyone's look of anticipation and continued, “Are you…”Before Jocelyn could ask, Skyler answered, “I’m in a bar.”“It's pretty quiet over there.” Jocelyn was a little surprised.Skyler's voice seemed to be tinged with a chuckle, “I’m in the private room.”Jocelyn suddenly remembered that Skyler's private room in Vintage Bar was so soundproof that no noise could penetrate the walls. It was pin-drop silent from the outside.She hesitated for a second and said, “Well, if you’re at a bar, I'll hang up first.”The alumni were getting anxious. Their faces chang
