Skyler was a little unhappy. “What? Do I embarrass you? He helped my wife, and I can’t thank him?”Seeing that Skyler was taking this too personally, Jocelyn could not help but tactfully said, “No, that’s not it. I’ve already paid back Abel’s favor. So this matter has already ended.”Skyler snorted softly and frowned in displeasure. “Alright, I’ll just believe you.”Jocelyn was having mixed feelings. She could sensitively feel that Skyler was not the same as before.He never used to say things like ‘You are my wife’ or ‘I’ll just believe you’. Not only did he respect her thoughts, but he also took the initiative to apologize to her!However, she genuinely was not used to this.This was no better than when he was always cold to her and would always separate their affairs clearly.Jocelyn was a little flustered when she was looking at Skyler like this.Skyler seemed to notice her uneasiness and he frowned. “Jocelyn, you can treat me as a friend in the future.”Skyler was daydrea
Jocelyn said, “Mr. Moore, I swear to God that I really didn’t do that!” Skyler loosened his grip on Jocelyn’s hand at once.There was a tired expression on his face. “Do you dislike me that much?”“...” Jocelyn was speechless. How could she reply to this question? If she told him that she did not dislike him, that meant that she had ulterior motives toward him!Skyler’s expression wilted when he noticed that Jocelyn was not saying anything. “Never mind, you should head upstairs first!” When Jim received Skyler’s call, his men had just told him that Derek and Yvonne had been escorted onto the plane. Skyler relayed his conversation with Jocelyn to Jim once. “Do you think she really can’t tell that I have feelings for her?” Jim laughed mockingly and said, “You deserve all of this. Why did you call me a fool during the gathering? You’ve received karma now, right?” Skyler was speechless. “Can you speak properly?” Naturally, Jim knew that Skyler had purposely made things
Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly. If she rejected Walter again, this would be the third time she did so! She thought about it for a while. Finally, she agreed to his request in an exasperated manner. “Alright, where at? Send me the location!” Walter finally let out a sigh of relief. “Come to Tingo Restaurant. I’m over here right now. I remember that you liked having the pasta over there in the past!” Tingo Restaurant was a Western restaurant. When they were in university, Jocelyn and Walter often ate there. Back then, Jocelyn thought that although they had not confessed their feelings to each other, they looked like a couple in a relationship. After that, Snow’s appearance shattered all her naive assumptions and turned her hopes into nothing. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll be there!” After hanging up on the call, Jocelyn headed to Tingo Restaurant. Lexie left the house as well. Ever since she showed off her skills in the gaming company that day, Jim had been c
There was a complicated expression on Jocelyn’s face. However, she hesitantly said, “Walt, we’re just friends!” There was a look of disappointment on Walter’s face. When he noticed the serious expression on Jocelyn’s face, he felt slightly exasperated. “Alright, alright, we’re just friends! I’m hungry. I’m afraid that I won’t be full enough if I order a single set meal!” Jocelyn nodded and remained silent. She had expressed her stance extremely clearly.Walter understood her well. He stopped trying to make it seem like they had a close relationship and took the initiative to bring up some topics that Jocelyn was interested in. Both of them chatted happily. If they disregarded the incident that happened two years ago, the both of them could still get along like a close senior and junior that had not seen each other for the past two years. Meanwhile, Skyler had prepared a table full of dishes at home. However, he did not have an appetite at all. He sat down on the sofa and
Jocelyn ate extremely quickly. After finishing her single set meal, she made to leave. Walter tried to make her stay. “Don’t you want to sit here a little longer?” Jocelyn shook her head and said, “No, my boyfriend called me!” Walter felt terrible. However, he resisted it and asked, “Does he treat you well?” Jocelyn thought about Skyler’s uncharacteristic behaviors lately. She then smiled and said, “He treats me pretty good!” Walter was mesmerized by her smile. Perhaps that man really treated her well. That might be the reason why she had instinctively smiled so radiantly for him.He forced a smile and said, “That’s great. You can go first. I’ll sit here for a while!” Jocelyn nodded, got up, and left. Tingo Restaurant was located on the fifteenth floor of a commercial building. There were two elevators for guests to travel upstairs and downstairs. Jocelyn did not know that someone had taken the elevator up when she was headed downstairs. Jocelyn went downstairs and drove
Skyler felt even more frustrated when he thought about his behavior today. When Skyler returned to Villa No. 1, he did not feel like going in when he thought about how empty the house was. He started smoking in the car alone. He smoked a few cigarettes. Finally, he put out the last cigarette once he got a headache. He then got down from the car. Initially, Skyler thought that Jocelyn was not back yet. He assumed that she had gone somewhere else on a date with that mysterious man.However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jocelyn’s shoes by the door. His expression changed as he took large strides into the house without even taking off his shoes. He saw Jocelyn sitting in the dining room at first sight. She was eating the dinner that he had prepared. Skyler looked at Jocelyn. A complicated expression appeared on his face. Jocelyn raised her head to glance at him after hearing the noise. “Mr. Moore, you’re back! I didn’t know that you knew how to cook!”Skyler did no
Skyler had never expected things to take such a turn. A surprised expression appeared on his face momentarily. Jocelyn spoke to him in an angered tone, “I don’t know who said such nonsense about me in front of you and made you think about me that way, but let me tell you this. I, Jocelyn White, have not done anything to wrong you. On the other hand, you have been having an ambiguous relationship with Rhode Ginn. The scandal between both of you has spread everywhere. Did I ever say anything about it? “What gives you the right to accuse me like that? We’re married, and I should keep my distance from other men. I don’t have anything to say about this. However, I shouldn’t be the only one being restricted by our marriage certificate. Skyler Moore, although I’m a nobody, I have feelings too. Don’t go overboard!” This was the first time Jocelyn had spoken like that to Skyler. Skyler was stunned. Suddenly, he felt that he was at a loss for words. An awkward expression formed on his f
Skyler: [Is it too late if I start trusting her now?] Jim: [Don’t be so full of yourself. If you see her hugging another man the next time, what will you think?] Skyler: […]Jim: [I knew that you were just all talk and no action. Why didn’t you think that person could’ve been her biological father or someone like that? Didn’t you say that Michael White isn’t Jocelyn’s biological father? There are many possibilities. Don’t be so narrow-minded and jump to conclusions straight away!]Skyler: [I got it! Should I still bring Rhode to tonight’s business gala?] Jim was the one who had suggested for Skyler to do so. He had asked Skyler to bring Rhode to the gala to make Jocelyn jealous!Jim: [Why would you bring her there? You must bring Jocelyn White along. If you bring Rhode over to the gala today, you should just cut ties with Jocelyn at once! Jocelyn’s thoughts are beyond clear after everything that happened last night!] Jim: [She’s angry at you because of your double standards
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
