Skyler could not describe what he felt the moment he caught sight of the scene within the room. If he were one step late, Jocelyn would have been violated by this man. She was unconscious as she lay on the bed quietly like a child. It was as if she were oblivious to everything happening in her surroundings. He could not imagine that one could actually fall for such a scheme even within the confines of one’s own house. Somehow, Skyler recalled her lively gaze and unyielding attitude when she argued with him this afternoon. If she knew about what had happened, what would her reaction be then? He walked up and dragged Chad down from the bed. He then threw him by the side like a piece of trash. He quickly put Jocelyn’s skirt back on her. Chad was stunned. “You…Who are you? What are you trying to do? Why are you disrupting my happy hour?” In the twenty years or so that Skyler had lived, he reckoned that he had experienced all sorts of hardships and obstacles. Regardle
After Skyler finished speaking, he turned around with Jocelyn in his arms. “Yale, let’s go!” Skyler carried Jocelyn and left with large strides. Michael’s face turned as white as paper. He lost his balance. “Did I hear wrongly just now? He…what did he say?” There was a terrible expression on Yennis’s face as well. She spoke up in a bitter and unwilling tone, “He said that…Jocelyn is his wife, but…but when did all of this happen? Why didn’t we know anything about it?” Michael felt beyond regretful right now. He closed his eyes in mortification and said, “It’s no wonder all of this happened!” It was no wonder Prosperity Jewelry would help Jocelyn to such extents. He had brought utter doom upon himself by offending Skyler Moore this time around! Yennis snapped angrily, “Jocelyn is getting wilder nowadays. Marriage is such a huge affair in one’s life, yet she didn’t even notify us about it. She doesn’t even see you as her father!” Michael was beyond angered right now. H
Skyler woke up after getting kicked off the bed. He hit his head heavily against something when he landed on the ground. The blow was so painful that he instantly woke up. Skyler rubbed the back of his head as he opened his eyes with a gloomy expression on his face. He then got up from the ground. After that, he caught sight of Jocelyn, who was staring at him with a hateful expression on her face. Her eyes were teary and red-rimmed. Skyler felt the urge to murder someone early in the morning. “Jocelyn White, are you out of your mind?” He did not expect this woman to repay his act of kindness by kicking him off the bed after he just rescued her last night! Jocelyn froze the moment she saw the angry expression on Skyler’s handsome face. She stopped crying as well. Her face was filled with shock. She stuttered slightly as she spoke. “Skyler…Skyler Moore, you…why are you here? Wasn’t Chad Jones with me last night?” Skyler’s expression darkened as he asked, “What’s wr
Jocelyn was genuinely grateful toward Skyler. If he had not saved her last night, Lily would be in total control of her life right now. She felt extremely regretful when she recalled the mess that she had caused in the morning. She cast a cautious glance at Skyler while having breakfast. “Thank you for everything last night!” Skyler raised his head to glance at her. He looked like he did not want to bother her at all. Jocelyn pursed her lips and blinked her eyes. “Everything that happened this morning was an accident. I’m sorry!” Skyler huffed lightly and got up. “I’m full!” Jocelyn sat by the dining table dejectedly like a loser. After Skyler put on his shoes, he asked her in an icy tone, “Are you leaving? I’m going to work right now!” After hearing what Skyler said, Jocelyn immediately sprung to action. He was implying that he would be fetching her to work! She immediately stood up and said, “I’m coming! I’m coming right now!” She changed her shoes in a hu
The girl was dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt. After catching her breath, she spoke up, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, something came up while I was on the way here. That’s why I was late! I’m really sorry!” Everyone fixed their gazes on her. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Someone spoke up first. “Are you Jocelyn White?” The person asked with a heavy tone of distaste. “You’re late on your first day of work. How admirable!” “Also, why are you dressing like this? Do you think that this is a university?” “Tsk tsk tsk…Is this the legendary jewelry genius that everyone’s been talking about? Hah!” The people gathered by the side spoke in sarcastic tones. The girl was stunned. After some time, she came to her senses and waved her hands. “No, I’m the new designer assistant, Yvie Claude!” Fiona stiffened after hearing Yvie’s words. She cast a hesitant glance at Jocelyn, who was sitting by the side. Her voice was full of shock and uncertainty. “Isn’t she the designer ass
Yvie shook her head in fear at once. She spoke in a fluster, “No, no, I didn’t mean to say that!” Jocelyn laughed and said, “I was just teasing you. You actually took it seriously. You can just call me Jocelyn. Since you’re my assistant, make sure to work hard under me and fight for the opportunity to become an assistant designer as soon as possible!” Yvie nodded repeatedly in an anxious manner and said, “I’ll definitely work hard!” Although the title of designer assistant and assistant designer sounded similar, the work scopes were completely different. Designer assistants could only help out in miscellaneous chores whereas assistant designers could produce their own design drafts. They were eligible to participate in all sorts of design competitions as well.Jocelyn gave her a once over and said, “Also, dress more formally when you come to work tomorrow!” Yvie was dazed. She nodded at once. The top floor of Prosperity Jewelry. As soon as Skyler walked out of the
Impatience filled Skyler as everyone stared at him. He tore off the plaster straight away. However, not only did everyone stare at him even more blatantly, but they even started gossiping among each other. Perhaps they were not gossiping about Skyler, but in his eyes, they were discussing where he got his wound from. He then recalled everything that had happened in the morning once again. Rage surged within Skyler as he announced the conclusions of the meeting grumpily. He told everyone that the meeting was adjourned and left the room. Not long after the meeting, Yale looked for Skyler and said, “President Moore, Jocelyn…” Skyler interrupted him coldly before he could finish his sentence. “Don’t tell me anything about Jocelyn White today. I don’t want to hear anything related to her today, got it?” Yale was stunned. He looked at the unpleasant expression on Skyler’s face. He had no choice but to nod and leave the room. When it was time for lunch in the afternoon, J
“Besides, Howard Jung wants to cut ties with me and get a divorce as soon as he saw me being attacked by everyone online. My parents have scolded me terribly as well. They wonder why they have a daughter like me since I did something so unethical by plagiarizing someone else’s work. Everyone has abandoned me. There’s no reason for me to be alive anymore!” Lily had a look of desperation on her face. Lily finally finished speaking. She buried her head in her arms and cried out loudly. The reporter hugged her and said, “Don’t be sad, Miss White. This isn’t your fault. You have simply been fooled by Howard Jung. You’re a young girl that has been blinded by love. Your mistakes are understandable. However, regardless of everything, you need to stay strong. You cannot easily give up on your life just because of this!” After the reporter finished speaking, he let go of Lily and looked at the camera with an emotional expression on his face. “I believe that all the netizens would certai
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
