Jocelyn did not expect that Skyler would not be mad at her even when she spoke so indifferently.At this moment, she could not tell what she was feeling in her heart.She looked at Skyler and asked, “Why? You want to help me?”Skyler's expression was vague, and he parted his thin lips slightly. “As long as you ask for it.”Jocelyn made up her mind and shook her head. She said, “No need, I'll figure it out myself.”Skyler's hands instantly clenched into fists, and they were clenched tightly.He tried to control his emotions. His eyes darkened and he looked at Jocelyn without speaking.Jocelyn pressed her lips together. “That settles it. President Moore, you should go back to work, I'll go upstairs.”After Jocelyn said that, she left.As Skyler watched her leave without any reluctance, he stood there like a stone statue, motionless.He was too complacent. He thought that there would be no problems with this contracted marriage in just one year.Unexpectedly, in just two months, he lost t
Chapter 301Lexie interrupted him, "Jim, I take you as a friend."There was a glint of disappointment in Jim's eyes. He then laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? I mean that ever since we stayed in the same hospital, I've taken you as a friend!"Jim teasingly looked at Lexie and curved his lips. "Did you think that I would say that I like you?"Some people preferred to say the sincerest words in a teasing tone, which made people unable to take their words seriously.Lexie pursed her lips without speaking.Jim cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I did not expect someone to be more thick-skinned than me. How can you, a young woman, be so narcissistic?"Lexie was annoyed. Her face turned cold. "Get out!"Jim pursed his lips. "Alright, I'm going to have my wound bandaged. I know you are worried. Do not try to hide it from me!"Lexie ignored him.When Jocelyn returned to the door of the ward, she saw Jim and Lexie chatting and smiling.Jim's finger was wrapped w
Chapter 302He calmly said, "Jim said that he would take care of Lexie at night, so I came to take you home."When Jocelyn heard the word "home", her heart trembled slightly.Since Skyler had come over to pick her up, even though she wanted to keep her distance from him, she wouldn't embarrass him in this situation.She nodded, got up, and left with Skyler.At the same time, the Vintage Bar.The bar was not busy at this hour. A few people were drinking together, and the dance floor was empty.Davis sat alone in the corner.He closed his eyes and took a sip of wine, uncontrollably thinking of Lexie's sad face.She said she had liked him for six years.She said that he was blind and that she gave up because she was too tired.Davis had long known that he cared a lot about Lexie.However, he never thought about his feelings for her.After Yuni had sex with him, he chose to be with her even though he was reluctant.This morning, Jocelyn sent him a recording of a conversation.
Chapter 303Jocelyn couldn't help but frown. He pulled the seat belt, bent down, and took out the thing that had hit her heel from under her foot.When she saw what was in her hand, her expression changed.It was a lipstick, Chanel's latest matte lipstick.For a moment, Jocelyn was sunk in thought. This kind of thing could not belong to Skyler.This meant that another woman had sat in the passenger seat.Jocelyn had an indescribable feeling. She was upset and jealous.Skyler noticed Jocelyn's change in mood and couldn't help but give her a sideways glance. "What's wrong? Did you drop something?"Just now Jocelyn bent down to pick up something. After that, she looked strange.Jocelyn pursed her lips and looked at Skyler with a complicated expression. "You went back to your parents' home?"Skyler was stunned, not expecting Jocelyn to ask this.The good thing was that her tone and words were not as cold as in the day.He shook his head. "No. Why do you ask that? Do you want to
Chapter 304No matter who Skyler would be with, he wouldn't be with her.Jocelyn calmly bowed her head and ate dinner with Skyler.After dinner, Jocelyn stood up. Her voice was even colder than in the morning as she said, "I've finished. I'm going up and taking a shower."Jocelyn was about to leave.Hearing this, Skyler scowled, strode over, grabbed her arm, and stared at her with an obscure expression. "Jocelyn!"Jocelyn's eyes flashed. She looked down. "Anything wrong?"Skyler said through clenched teeth, "Did I offend you today?"Jocelyn looked serene. "Why did you say that?"Skyler was enraged by her words. "If I hadn't offended you, why would you have upset me today?"Jocelyn pursed her lips and glanced up at Skyler.Even though he was now angry, he was still devilishly handsome. It was hard for her to resist his charm.Jocelyn answered, "You think too much. I'm always like that."Skyler almost laughed in anger. "You're always like that? You're talking nonsense!"In
Chapter 305Walter's eyes flashed as he sat down beside Skyler on the sofa and said, "Since you have time to drink with me, why don't you go home and deal with Mom? She asks my opinions of the girls she has picked for you as soon as I go back home!"Skyler's face was sullen. "I already have a girlfriend."He had wanted to drink with Jim, but Jim was taking care of Lexie in the hospital.Skyler had no choice but to ask Walter to come over and drink with him, but unexpectedly, Walter urged Skyler to go on blind dates immediately after sitting down.Walter glanced at Skyler and said, "Then take her home and let Mom and Dad have a look. They are not satisfied with Josie, and you've broken up with her, so they can't wait to find you a new girlfriend."Skyler took a sip of wine, looking gloomy. "I want to find an opportunity to take her to you and then bring her home, but ... not now!"Walter raised his eyebrows, glanced at Skyler, picked up his glass, and shook it. "Why?"Skyler dra
Chapter 306Skyler could not understand why Walter, who had a fiancée, was in love with another woman.Skyler said with a frown. "Don't you have a fiancée? But you like someone else..."He thought for a while and continued, "Is it proper?"Skyler felt that this was not fair for Walter's fiancée and the woman Walter liked.Walter did not mind what Skyler said. He nodded. "No, but Snow knows that I do not like her and that I like another woman. We've made an agreement. I will call off the engagement with Snow when the woman I like accepts me."Skyler finally understood it.He noticed that Walter looked affectionate at the mention of that woman.Skyler was confused. "How long have you and that woman known each other?"Walter thought about it and replied, "About 7 years."Skyler was surprised. "So long?"Walter sighed softly with a reminiscent look. "Yes, it's been a long time..."Unexpectedly, after so long, Walter still couldn't be with the woman he liked. Skyler was curious.
Chapter 307Skyler did not understand. "Just go and tell her how you feel. What are you afraid of?"Walter asked, "So have you told the person you like how you feel?"Skyler shook his head.Walter continued, "Then do you dare to do it now?"Thinking of Jocelyn's attitude towards him, Skyler immediately shook his head.If she knew what he had in mind, she might ask for a divorce at once.Walter raised his eyebrows. "That's right. You don't dare. As long as you like someone, you won't dare to tell her your feelings for her. If she refuses you, you two can't even be friends. Do you understand?"Skyler was silent for a moment and then nodded.He finally understood it.As Skyler was thinking that he must not easily tell Jocelyn how he felt, Walter said, "I dare not tell her I love her mainly because ... she is dating someone now."Skyler frowned. "Not the one before?"Walter shook his head. "No. He's said to be excellent."Skyler raised his eyebrows. "You have not seen him?"W
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
