Jocelyn said sullenly, “A senior of mine. When I got into the car accident yesterday, he was there on the scene. Both he and Mimi sent me to the hospital together. He went to the hospital to look for me today, but he didn’t know that I’d already been discharged. So, he called me to ask!”Jocelyn explained it all very clearly. Skyler had originally wanted to ask her a few questions, but now he did not even know what to ask.The atmosphere within the car suddenly became especially solemn.When they reached Villa No. 1, North Court, Skyler suddenly blurted out, “Jocelyn, if it bothers you, I can cancel Rhode’s ambassadorship!”Jocelyn was shocked and shook her head instinctively. “It’s fine!”Since there was nothing between Rhode and Skyler, she did not have to interfere. Otherwise, if she was too bothered by it, Skyler might notice something else.Skyler frowned silently and did not say anything else.The Crain Villa.Abel had just gone through a drug withdrawal. His body was cov
Shaun froze, and he looked at Abel in disbelief. “Skyler’s…”Abel harrumphed. “And here I thought you were going to stay stupid forever. Yes, Skyler is the second son of the Keele family and the heir to Lilac City’s Moore family!”Lilac City’s Moore family only gave birth to a daughter, who married Zachariah Keele and gave birth to two sons.The older son would take up the Keele family while the second would continue the legacy of the Moores.However, the public knew almost nothing about the Keele family’s second young master.Six years ago, before his brother Dean died, Abel was still good friends with Skyler and was slightly aware of the other’s family situation.Shaun looked like all his energy had been sucked away as he sat limply.He finally understood why Abel said his whole family would have to pay for Skyler’s death, and their lives would still be ruined even if Skyler was still alive.Abel could not help but frown when he saw the pitiful expression on the man’s face. “
Jocelyn instinctively let go of the door.Extremely nervous, she started to stutter, “W-What are you doing?”Skyler took a step forward and Jocelyn took a step back.Skyler’s smile grew. “Are you that afraid of me?”Jocelyn’s heart thumped in fear.Ever since she developed feelings for Skyler, she realized that she was no longer able to face the man head-on.She understood why people said that love was something a person could not hide.She looked down and away from Skyler, but stubbornly replied, “Why should I be afraid of you?”Skyler chuckled and as if by magic, he pulled out a bottle of ointment. “You got a scratch on your face from the car crash last night. This ointment can relieve scars. It’s pretty effective, give it a try.”Jocelyn glanced up in shock. She did not expect Skyler to pay attention to such detail.She took the ointment with pursed lips and thanked him sincerely, “Thank you.”Skyler continued to look at her deeply, “That’s it?”Jocelyn replied stubbornl
Jocelyn only snapped back to reality when she heard the door close.Her cheeks were red when she sat by the foot of the bed.She had accepted Skyler’s kiss just now and not only had she not pushed him away, but she had subconsciously kissed back as well.She did not feel the awkwardness she did before.She could not help but raise her hands to cover her face in embarrassment. ‘Is this the difference between liking and disliking someone?’The next day, Jocelyn was eating when she saw Skyler descend the stairs and felt the urge to slam her head on the dining table.Skyler glanced over at her happily. “I’ll send you to work once you’re done eating.”Jocelyn’s face might as well be buried in her food as she stuffily replied, “No need!”Skyler’s tone was mirthful. “Of course, there’s a need. I heard that people who’ve just been in car accidents develop a subconscious fear of cars. Let me fetch you to work.”When Jocelyn heard Skyler, she reflexively thought back to the scene of the
Renee did not expect to be caught red-handed by the person she was talking bad about.She immediately felt afraid when she saw Jocelyn but remained stubborn and glared at the latter. “Rhode and Hailey canceled their orders and are asking for compensation. They said you hit them in public. Are you going to tell us that such a thing never happened at all?”Hailey and Rhode had a shooting mission yesterday, so they had only come to Prosperity Jewelry after everyone had clocked out.Only Renee was in the office then, and after she knew what happened, she held Davis back this morning and requested punishment for Jocelyn.Davis frowned and looked at Jocelyn. “Jocelyn, can you tell us what happened?”All Davis knew was that Rhode and Hailey wanted to cancel their orders. He was not in the office when they dropped by yesterday, so he had no idea what happened.Their jewelry was almost finished yet they were asking for a refund and pushing the blame on the company. Davis refused to cause
Mimi walked in.She had come to look for Jocelyn and sign the contract for the canceled order, but she did not expect the department to be in too much of a ruckus to receive clients.The first thing she heard when she walked in was that someone was going to fire Jocelyn.Mimi was instantly angered. Jocelyn was her friend and anyone who wanted to target Jocelyn must first go through her.Jocelyn felt lightheaded when she saw Mimi, “Why’re you here?” Mimi pouted. “Am I not your company’s client? Why can’t I be here?”Jocelyn looked at her exasperatedly, she did not want to reply.Renee immediately approached them with a flattering tone. “Miss Keene, Jocelyn hit a client and now the client and her friend are both canceling their orders. We’re currently discussing her punishment, so I don’t think she’ll be able to follow up on your order. However, please feel free to consider other designers to finish your order.”Mimi looked at Renee sarcastically. “By other designers, you meant
Renee did not expect to find Yuni disliking Jocelyn as she did, seeing how Yuni had helped her target Jocelyn since the beginning.Renee quickly nodded, “Miss Shaw is right. You can praise Jocelyn’s character, Miss Keene, but you cannot stop our company from punishing her. It’s a different matter altogether.”Jocelyn could not help but frown when she saw the blatant targeting from the two.Mimi chuckled in anger. “Sure, let’s talk about this issue, then. How much is the jewelry those two ordered? I’ll put an order for twice the amount. That way, Jocelyn isn’t causing any financial losses, hmm?”No one expected this from Mimi and everyone in the design department wore shocked expressions on their faces.After all, no one would have thought that Mimi would be willing to spend so much more money on making jewelry just for Jocelyn.Davis wanted to protect Jocelyn and after hearing Mimi’s offer, he immediately spoke up. “Now that the loss from the order has been filled, there’s no nee
“What’s worse is that he actually had the gall to come to my house and say that I misunderstood him. He and Hailey were just friends, ordering something at the coffee shop to talk about business. You don’t even know how angry I felt. If I can’t come out with evidence, our families won’t be able to call off the engagement since they had already come to an agreement in the beginning.”Jocelyn’s eyes twinkled. “Why did you come and look for me?”Mimi chuckled and tugged on Jocelyn’s arm. “Because I need a plan. You would never leave me to die alone, right?” Jocelyn looked at her numbly but said nothing. Mimi continued, “Jocelyn, I know you wouldn’t want me to get engaged with a playboy like him, right?” Jocelyn looked at her lightheadedly. “What do you have in mind?” Mimi immediately smiled and leaned over Jocelyn’s ear to whisper her plan. At the same time, in the bathroom, Yuni was washing her hands as she glanced at Renee’s twisted expression.Yuni chuckled. “There’s no po
