Chapter 317Jocelyn started the car and drove to Villa No. 1 at North Court.She drove very steadily along the way. When she arrived at Villa No. 1 at North Court, she saw that Skyler’s eyes were still closed, as if he was asleep.She couldn't help reaching out to poke his arm, trying to wake him up.However, before she could speak, Skyler suddenly opened his eyes, frowned at her and said in an unhappy tone, "Dad, I’ve said that I know what I should do. I'm still young. I can strive for my own career! Don't treat me as a child all the time, okay?"Jocelyn was shocked. ‘Is Skyler regarding me as his dad?’To tell the truth, if Skyler hadn’t talked nonsense to her, she couldn't believe that he really got drunk!She looked into his eyes and said, "I'm not your dad!"Looking at Jocelyn, Skyler couldn't help frowning again. "It's you, Walter!"Well, Skyler mistook Jocelyn for his mom first, then his dad, and now his brother.Skyler was really drunk. Not only did he talk nonsense,
Chapter 318Thinking of this, she asked carefully, as if a big bad wolf had been coaxing a child. "On the day when Lexie was hurt, was there another woman in your car?"Judging from Skyler’s expression, he seemed to be trying hard to recall what had happened that day. "Another woman? Lexie was hurt..."Listening to his words, Jocelyn guessed that he couldn't answer her question!However, several seconds later, Skyler suddenly said, "Yes. It was Rhode. She came to me that day and sat in my car!"Jocelyn felt that she was riding a roller coaster. Several seconds ago, she was in low spirits while now, she was in high spirits.She never thought that she would elicit an answer from Skyler.But thinking of Rhode, Jocelyn became unhappy.Since Rhode met Skyler for the first time, she had pretended to be docile, mild and tender. This made Jocelyn angry.Staring at Skyler, she asked him in a nervous tone, "Why did she come to you?"Jocelyn didn't even notice that she looked like a lia
Chapter 319Jocelyn felt a little helpless, but she knew that she couldn't reason with a drunken person who couldn't listen to reason. She said with a frown, "I'm Jocelyn. Really!"Skyler looked at her up and down. He didn’t speak until she felt embarrassed. "Come here. Let me smell you!"Jocelyn was about to scold him. ‘Smell me? Are you a dog?’However, before Jocelyn could make a reaction, Skyler grabbed her arm suddenly, and then she fell into his arms unsteadily.Skyler put his head around her neck, and his breath blew onto her neck, making her feel hot and itchy.Jocelyn became a little uncomfortable. She tried to stand up when she was pulled back by Skyler. "Don’t move!"Jocelyn felt annoyed and said impatiently, "Have you finished smelling me? I'm standing up!" She knew that she shouldn’t get angry with a drunken person.But Skyler became disobedient, and he said in a stubborn and upset tone, "Don’t leave. I’ve smelled it. You are Jocelyn, and she has this kind of sce
Chapter 320Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head. ‘What am I thinking about? If Skyler knows what I’m thinking about, he will definitely think I am cursing him and teach me a lesson!’Sighing, she bent over, tied the bath towel around his body and pulled him up without complaint. She helped him stand up and then moved him to the bed with difficulty.She was about to put him down onto the bed when his body suddenly fell forward. Before Jocelyn could make a reaction, she was directly dragged onto the bed by him.Then half of Skyler's body fell down on Jocelyn and pressed her, his breath tinged with alcohol blowing onto her face.Although Skyler was in a deep sleep, Jocelyn still felt nervous, and her heart was about to jump out.She flushed with shyness and wanted to push Skyler away. However, at this time, she saw Skyler's lips move and heard him whispering.She subconsciously put her ear close to his lips and heard him whispering in a coaxing tone, "Don’t be angry with m
Chapter 321The expression on Skyler's changed slightly, and then he thought on his feet. "Nancy is in charge of the show. She contacted you through me, so I know when the show will start shooting!"Jocelyn felt that something was strange. She just felt confused and thus asked him casually. Why did he explain so much?But she didn't pay much attention to it but nodded. "Alright, thank you!"He looked at her in surprise and felt flattered. To his surprise, she easily agreed with him to drive her to the shooting site.She had been aloof towards him before, but her attitude towards him was totally different now. He even felt as if it was his illusion.When Jocelyn had breakfast, her eye twitched. She had a bad feeling and felt uneasy about it, but soon, she forgot about it.After breakfast, Skyler drove her to the shooting site.When it was a block away from the shooting site, Jocelyn said that she would like to get out of the car.Skyler agreed. Before she got out of his car, he
Chapter 322Jocelyn snorted and kept silent.Nancy saw Jocelyn's reaction and kept calm. She was clear about why Jocelyn felt unhappy.'Our program wants to take the conflicts of Jocelyn and Lily as a publicity stunt, and Lily wants to return to the jewelry circle through our program.''Thus, Jocelyn is the most innocent one among us. It's understandable that she feels angry.'Nancy said with a smile, "Let's go to have a seat!"Jocelyn nodded but still felt unhappy. She bypassed Nancy and walked inside directly.Nancy didn't care about it at all.Lily looked at Jocelyn's back, and a trace of resentment flashed through Lily's eyes.'It's all Jocelyn's fault that I have been disabled, but what Dad has said is right. I'm no match for Jocelyn. I need to be patient and wait for a chance to take revenge on her.''Taking part in Beauty Busters is a good chance for me to resume my career. I can't make any mistakes!'After Jocelyn entered the shooting hall, she found a place to sit c
Chapter 323Yvie frowned. "200,000 dollars? Why don't you go to rob?"200,000 dollars was not much for the Claud family, but she would rather donate it to people who were in need than be wangled by the old man.The old man lay on the ground shamelessly, grabbed Yvie's arm and raised his voice to attract more people's attention. "Her car has crashed into me! My legs have gotten hurt!"Yvie's face clouded over. 'The old man is feigning injury!'She said angrily, "Alright, now that you say that your legs have gotten hurt, I will call the hospital. If the hospital confirms that your legs are fine, I will accuse you of wangling!"After Yvie finished speaking, she planned to call Lexie and ask her to send the design drafts to Jocelyn.After all, Yvie didn't believe others.She wouldn't compromise today and let the old man wangle 200,000 dollars from her!However, as soon as she took out her phone, someone said in a careless and casual voice, "If I have 200,000 dollars, I would rathe
Chapter 324When Yvie thought of the scene in which Jim helped her and saw his handsome face shining in the sunlight, her heart beat fast involuntarily. "Thank you so much today, sir. May I have your name please? I would like to treat you to a meal!"Although Jim often came to Prosperity Jewelry to see Skyler, Jim always took the president's exclusive elevator. When Jim went to see Lexie, he always stayed in the IT department. Thus, Yvie had never seen Jim before.Also, even though the Claud family was among the high-society circles, Yvie was introverted and indoorsy. She was reluctant to attend various dinner parties. It was the first time that she saw Jim.Jim said with a smile, "Never mind! There is no need for you to treat me to a meal!"After he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the car door and got the car started.Yvie felt surprised. 'He doesn't tell me his name.'She felt a little disappointed, but she still needed to send the design drafts to Jocelyn.After
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
