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

    Jim's eyes widened immediately. “What? It's not Rhode? Then why are you so nice to her?”Skyler's eyes flashed. “I’m not nice to her. She’s from the countryside and it wasn’t easy for her to get to this point. I don't need to eradicate her over such a trivial matter.”In fact, the truth was that Skyler kissed Jocelyn that night while depending on the alcohol for courage.For the first time, he acted according to his heart.As a result, he was slapped by Jocelyn.Skyler left the North Court Villa and returned to the villa Jim hosted the party in.Rhode was still in the villa at the time, and when she saw Skyler come back, she poured him a drink without saying a word.Skyler was emotional for the first time in years that night.He asked Rhode why she came to this kind of party.Rhode then told him about her situation.She said that she was from the countryside, and she had six sisters.

    Jim was rather stunned. His almond-shaped eyes widened as he asked, “That can’t be. You like her and would like to pursue her, but you aren’t willing to confess to her? Dude, what in the world are you trying to do?” A regretful expression appeared on Skyler’s cold and elegant face. He added, “Previously, I told her not to harbor any ulterior motives toward me. I can still come up with an excuse to give her presents and eat with her without explaining things to her. If I confess to her straight away, won’t I be a hypocrite?” Jim looked at Skyler with an irritated expression on his face. “How can you make her fall for you if you don’t want to lose your composure?” Skyler did not say anything as he silently admitted to everything. Jim stared at him with a complicated gaze in his eyes. “Speaking of which, this is the first time you went against your own words. You said that you’ll just get married without falling in love. However, you fell in love after getting married. You aren’

    Jocelyn’s face stiffened as she called out, “Miss Sonnet!” Snow Sonnet turned around and leaned against the basin. She cast a languid gaze at Jocelyn and said, “You’re really refusing to leave my side! Walter and I ran into you when we just returned to the country. Can you not live without men by your side?” There was an awkward expression on Jocelyn’s face. She straightened herself stiffly and looked at Snow. “Pay more attention to what you say!” Snow raised her freshly-manicured nails on one hand and caressed the gems on her nails with her other hand. She laughed nonchalantly. “Pay attention… What should I pay attention to?” She paused and stared straight at Jocelyn. She spoke in a sarcastic tone, “To be honest with you, if I were to pay attention to something, I should be cautiously watching you to prevent you from seducing my fiancé instead!” Jocelyn’s pupils constricted as an unpleasant expression appeared across her face. “Miss Sonnet, I have a boyfriend. I hope that you

    Walter laughed as his expression softened. He smiled and said, “All of a sudden, I didn’t feel like going to the washroom anymore.” “Hohoho…. That’s interesting bladder control!” “Hahaha… Did you control your urge to go to the toilet after seeing a pretty girl?” All of them teased Walter. Walter simply smiled without saying anything. Jordan clearly knew that Walter had gone out just to look for Jocelyn. He cast an ambiguous smile at Walter. Everyone chatted for a while. Walter’s phone rang when Jordan suggested that they should play a game of truth or dare.Everyone exclaimed out loud and called him a busy man. As soon as Walter left, Jordan tried to speak up again. However, Jocelyn’s phone rang as soon as she spoke up. Jordan was amused. “Jocelyn, are you and Walter here to cause trouble for me?” Jocelyn smiled in exasperation when she noticed that Skyler was calling her. “No, my boyfriend is here to fetch me!” Jordan’s smile faltered slightly. “I see!

    Snow felt somewhat awkward. Filled with rage, she spoke up emotionally, “She’s not that weak! She isn’t made of glass!” Walter’s expression turned icy. “Snow Sonnet!” Snow immediately made a gesture with her hands. “Okay, okay! I’ll listen to you. I’ll avoid her as best as I can in the future!” She was confident that Jocelyn would not tell Walter about what she had told her just now. In her eyes, Jocelyn White was a fragile girl that valued her own dignity. She was not a match for her! Walter glanced at her, turned around, and left with a heavy expression on his face! When Walter returned to the event hall, he realized that Jocelyn had already left. Jordan glanced at him in annoyance. “Where did you go? You didn’t pick up your phone either. I’ve been looking for you outside for such a long time!” Walter said expressionlessly, “Something came up!” One of the juniors had a starry gaze in her eyes. “Senior, Jocelyn’s boyfriend is extremely handsome!

    “Is that so? Invite her out one day so that we can have a meal together. Anyways, I’ll be staying in Mauve City in the future!” Skyler glanced at Jocelyn, who was daydreaming with her head tilted to the side. He nodded and said, “Yes, sure!” They arrived home at night. Jocelyn took a shower and lay down on her bed. She turned around on her bed, but she could not fall asleep. She thought of how Walter treated her. It was as if nothing had changed from two years ago. She felt rather upset. Initially, she thought that she would be extremely nervous tonight. However, after seeing Walter, she suddenly realized that she had already put down her bitter crush on him after knowing that he had a fiancée back then.However, she still could not treat Walter like an ordinary friend. Walter was not just someone that she had once had a crush on. Disregarding the crush, Walter was still like family to her. Michael had been giving her a difficult time back then. She got bullied eve

    Skyler’s gaze darkened. He knew that this was probably Jocelyn’s voice recording. He could vaguely guess what had happened as well.When Jocelyn woke up, the car was parked in the underground car park. Her voice was rather languid as she spoke in a dazed tone, “Have we arrived?” Skyler leaned back against the driver’s seat and stared at the steering wheel expressionlessly. It was unclear what he was thinking about.Since he was silent, Jocelyn spoke up, “Since we’ve arrived, I’ll head upstairs first. Thank you for sending me to work, President Moore!” Jocelyn opened the car door while speaking.Skyler suddenly looked at Jocelyn. “Wait!” Jocelyn looked at him in confusion and asked, “Huh?” Skyler stared at Jocelyn’s delicate face with a complicated expression on his face. “I want you to hear something!” There was a curious look on Jocelyn’s face. “What’s that?” Skyler clicked on the audio play button, and the recording that he had heard just now repeated once again.

    There was a look of shock on Jocleyn’s face. “How is that possible? When did this happen? Does Yuni not care about the audio recording that I have?” Lexie cried desperately. Jocelyn had never seen her so upset before. She looked at Jocelyn and started crying even harder. “Why does she have to care about that? They’re already together. If I tell Davis then I like him right now, do you think they will break up? I’ll just be putting myself in a more difficult position. Yuni must have guessed that this would happen!” Lexie hugged Jocelyn and cried out loud, “Jocelyn, what should I do? I’ve liked him for almost seven years. It’s been seven years. How can I let go of him? I can still comfort myself when he didn’t have a girlfriend back then. I can’t even comfort myself right now. Am I way too weak? Am I being a coward for not daring to confess my feelings to him? Is that why someone else got together with him first? I’m such a fool, right?”This news was way too sudden. Lexie cried

"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.

"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.
