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.

    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

    Everyone shared a look and said nothing.Renee frowned and quickly approached her. “Mrs. Leeds, what…”Before Renee could finish speaking, Mrs. Leeds slapped her across the face. “You wretched little woman! I can’t believe you worked with my husband to lie to me just for money! I can’t believe I made an order with you!”Renee cupped her cheek and looked at Mrs. Leeds in disbelief. “How could you hit me?”“What’s wrong with hitting you?” Mrs. Leeds glared at Renee domineeringly as if she was looking at an ant.Renee shook in anger over the fact that she was slapped in front of her colleagues. “Why are you so unreasonable? Your husband was the one who betrayed you, how is it my fault?”Mrs. Leeds grabbed Renee’s hair. “You wretched little woman! Finally admitting it, huh? You knew what my husband was doing behind my back, so how can you say that this has nothing to do with you?”Renee bent over awkwardly as Mrs. Leeds pulled on her hair.

"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

"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

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.
