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

    A sense of indignance filled Yvie’s heart when she heard the discussion going on among the employees in the design department. These evil people did not know what a nice person Jocelyn was. Jocelyn picked up her phone in the stairway. She spoke to Michael expressionlessly, “Hello, is there anything that you need?” Michael huffed coldly. “What’s wrong? Are you not even going to bother calling me your father now?” Chills erupted in Jocelyn’s heart when she heard his voice. She replied in a sarcastic tone, “Are there fathers that drug their own daughter and try to gift them to other people?” Michael choked when he recalled everything that had happened last night. There was an uneasy expression on his face as he asked, “Jocelyn, what’s the relationship between you and Skyler Moore?” “Does this have anything to do with you?” Jocelyn asked in a harsh tone. “Are you not afraid that I’d touch your uncle’s company?” Michael’s voice was laced with a sense of threat.

    Yvie’s face paled as she puffed out her face in aggravation and spoke angrily, “I wasn’t buttering up anyone. I knew her a long time ago. She’s definitely not the type of person that you’re making her out to be!” Sadly, nobody listened to her at all. Everyone was influenced by Fiona’s words. “Ignore her. She’s Jocelyn White’s assistant. Of course, she’d speak for her. Anyways, if I had her capabilities in drawing designs, it’ll be nothing for me to gift a few drafts to my sister. She doesn’t have to force her own biological sister to such extents. She must have lost her conscience!” “Besides, did you guys realize that she always wreaks havoc in her wake? Because of her, Oasis Jewelry’s reputation is now down the drain. The company’s facing plenty of lawsuits as well. I didn’t expect something to happen as soon as he joined Prosperity Jewelry!” “Tsk tsk tsk, what an inauspicious person!” …“You guys are spouting nonsense!” Yvie was so enraged that she started shaking.

    Howard turned around in rage. “D*mn it! Who dares to f*cking…” He turned around and was met with the sight of Skyler Moore’s expressionless face. He instantly choked on his words. Jocelyn started acting slightly unnaturally when she spotted Skyler. “You…why are you here?” Skyler glanced at Jocelyn and said curtly, “I’m here to eat!” After speaking, he flung off Howard’s arm and took out his handkerchief from the pocket of his business suit. He wiped his fingers slowly as if there were some dirt on them. An unpleasant expression appeared on Howard’s face. The corners of Jocelyn’s lips twitched uncontrollably a few times. He threw his handkerchief into the rubbish bin and pulled Jocelyn behind him protectively. He raised his head lazily and glanced at Howard. “How do you know that I married Jocelyn?” He caught sight of Howard and Jocelyn having an argument from the distance when he came over to have lunch. Howard was spouting terrible words with an evil expression o

    Howard’s rebuttal rendered Lily speechless. “Anyways, I won’t come out. Come inside if you want to get the divorce agreement signed!” Howard thought of Skyler’s words. His gaze flashed as he said icily, “Tell me your ward number!” After telling him, Lily hung up on the call straight away. Howard unbuttoned the second button of his collar. Skyler Moore had prepared these props for him. He could not return without any gains. He laughed at himself as he looked at the hospital building. He did not expect him to act as a spy when he was the president of a company. He suddenly regretted everything. How did things get to this point for him and Jocelyn?Back then, he had gotten together with Lily White since Jocelyn kept rejecting him. However, he did not expect that he would have to pay back so much in return! There were two bodyguards standing by the door after Howard went upstairs. Not only did they search his body, but they also took his phone away. Lily was eating an

"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.

"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.

    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

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

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.

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.
