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
Skyler’s handsome face darkened. Skyler: [Can you not be so happy when I’m facing trouble? Can you give me some constructive suggestions?] Jim: [Alright, alright, I’ll try my best. I don’t have any good suggestions either. However, you must resolve this situation as soon as possible. Regardless of everything, you must think of an idea to bring her to tonight’s business gala. She can’t keep ignoring you!] Skyler: [Do you have any good ideas?] Jim: [Think about it yourself. Humans always come up with good ideas. You understand Jocelyn better than I do. The ideas that you come up with will definitely work better than what I come up with!] Skyler did not bother Jim anymore. He pondered upon it for some time. Finally, he opened his text messages. If he could not send her messages on Instagram, he could still text her! Although that was what Skyler planned to do, he still felt rather anxious. He was afraid that Jocelyn had really blocked his number! “Jocelyn, I’ll t
Skyler and Jocelyn arrived at the business gala right on the dot. Jocelyn followed Skyler into a large hall. Countless gazes landed on them. Jocelyn was not used to the feeling of being the center of attention.She followed Skyler around for a while. She then suggested, “Mr. Moore, I’m a little tired from walking around in heels. Can I rest somewhere?” Skyler hummed affirmatively and helped her to a quiet corner. There were not many people seated on the sofas in this corner.As soon as Jocelyn sat down, one of Skyler’s business partners eagerly dragged him over for a chat.Jocelyn sat down on a sofa quietly. She took out her phone and glanced at it. Suddenly, a sharp and mean voice rang out. “So you’re Jocelyn White?”Jocelyn raised her gaze. She recognized her at first sight. Although she had never seen this woman before in real life, this woman was a famous celebrity. She was extremely popular right now. Most people knew who she was. Nevertheless, it was normal fo
Ilona immediately turned around after hearing Skyler’s voice. She stammered slightly, “President… President Moore!” Skyler cast an icy gaze upon her. It was as if he were looking at a condemned person. Ilona’s heart froze under his gaze. Skyler’s voice was terrifyingly cold. “Ilona Yates, be cautious of what you say. You should know what to say and what not to say!” Ilona’s face paled as she said, “I… I was just joking with Miss White just now!” Skyler huffed coldly and ignored her. He then told Jocelyn, “Come on, I’ll introduce you to some of my business partners within the jewelry industry!” Jocelyn nodded and left while holding onto Skyler’s arm.Skyler’s voice was rather stiff. “What did she tell you just now?” He was afraid that Jocelyn would be infuriated when he heard Ilona mentioning the words “replacement” and “Josie”. After all, Jocelyn had just thrown a tantrum at him after he misunderstood her last night.However, Jocelyn’s reaction differed from hi
Skyler scoffed. “Mimi’s temper is much worse than yours!” Wayne let out a dry laugh. Skyler glanced at Jocelyn and said, “Aren’t you curious who spread rumors about you behind my back yesterday? It was the man in front of you!” Wayne did not expect this to happen. His expression stiffened at once. Jocelyn frowned. “Did you see me yesterday, Mr. Zimmer?” An unnatural expression appeared on Wayne’s face. “Yes, I had dinner at Tingo Restaurant with my friend last night!” Jocelyn recalled what Skyler had told her last night. The tone of her voice instantly turned unpleasant. “I hope that you can verify the truth of your words before speaking in the future and take responsibility for what you say! Don’t spout nonsense after seeing something!” An unpleasant expression appeared on Wayne’s face. Jocelyn was just a mere jewelry designer. What gave her the right to talk to him like that? However, Skyler was in a better mood after hearing what Jocelyn said. He raised hi
Jocelyn's eyes widened in shock as she reached her arms out to push him away. However, her strength was no match for Skyler. Her behavior inflamed Skyler's desire and he felt that he was crazy and completely ignored her little actions. He grabbed her slender waist tightly and kissed her fiercely. Jocelyn's body was getting increasingly relaxed and the words Skyler said suddenly flashed in her mind, ‘I would not mind if you gave your heart to me.’ It was as if she was hypnotized and did not reject Skyler as much. Her breathing was hot and fast and her brain was foggy as her eyes turned red.Skyler's feelings were moved when he saw how her eyes were red and how she was being soft and sweet. He suddenly got the impulse to grab Jocelyn and carried her upstairs.Jocelyn's body relaxed and her foggy brain suddenly cleared up. She struggled vigorously this time and shouted Skyler's name, "Skyler Moore!"Skyler was stunned and stopped in the middle of the stairs. There was a
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
