Chapter 332Moreover, Kaleigh was a distant relative of the Yates family, and her surname was also Yates, which made Kallena feel disgusted.But her husband said that their son might like who they disliked.That was why she agreed to arrange this blind date under the guise of a dinner.She was a bit hasty. As soon as her son broke up with Josie, she wanted to introduce another woman to him. The Yates family was not bad.Unexpectedly, her son had a new girlfriend so soon.She stared at Skyler. "Are you lying to me?"Skyler shook his head. "No!"Kallena finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her face suddenly softened.She smiled and turned to smile at Kaleigh. "Sorry, I didn't know that my son had a girlfriend. I've made a fool of myself. Just take it as an ordinary dinner, okay?"Since Kallena had apologized with a smile, Kaleigh couldn't continue to blame her. Besides, Kallena was Skyler's mother.Thus, even though Kaleigh was furious, she couldn't lose her temper.She suppres
Chapter 333Jocelyn immediately regretted what she had said.Why did she have to lie as if she had done something wrong?However, if she told the truth, Skyler might be angry.After all, Skyler was unhappy because she had gone to dinner with someone else today. If she said yes, he would think a lot.Hearing Jocelyn's reply, his tone softened but was still full of doubt. "Really?"Jocelyn thought, 'He went on a blind date. How could he have the nerve to ask me that?'She answered angrily and coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate. You're so smart and resourceful. I'm sure it's easy for you!"Jocelyn lost her temper. Although it was not obvious, Skyler was stunned for a moment. "I just asked. Why are you so angry?"Jocelyn sarcastically curled her lips. "Then let me ask you. How was your dinner?"Skyler frowned when he heard Jocelyn's strange words. "What do you mean by that?"Jocelyn grunted. "Nothing. I'm hanging up."Jocelyn ended the call. Even though she w
Chapter 334It was only then that Skyler recognized that the man was Howard, Jocelyn's ex-boyfriend.Skyler's face darkened as he said coldly, "Keep your eyes on the road."After saying that, he was about to walk into the bar.However, Howard suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Moore, you and Jocelyn are not divorced, right?"Skyler's gaze suddenly went cold.He turned to look at Howard sullenly. "What do you mean by that?"Howard thought of Walter's punch and felt a little indignant.His eyes flashed. He gathered the courage with drunkenness and said, "I saw Jocelyn had dinner with someone tonight. Do you know who it was?"Skyler had turned around. He stared at Howard, looking frosty in the light at the bar entrance. "What the hell are you trying to say?"Howard was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Skyler again. "Remember not to play tricks on me. I know she went to dinner with one of her seniors at college. If you dare to slander her, I won't let you get away wit
Chapter 335Howard shook his head in a hurry. "No. I mean that she couldn't swim before that accident. Now she's learned to swim. After that accident, she overcame her fear of going into the water. Now she is a very good swimmer."Skyler stood there in silence with an obscure look.Howard continued, "As for what happened between Lily and me, I'm very regretful about it, but I cannot deny it. Anyway, I love Jocelyn wholeheartedly. Otherwise, I would not have chased her for so long or have been with her."Howard looked at Skyler gloomily. "But you know what? It still rankles with me that she has never liked me. Can you understand? She had been with me for two years, but I didn't even touch her finger. I don't know if she was keeping her virginity for that person or if she thought I wasn't worthy of her. Anyway, I cheated on her, but she was not innocent."Skyler looked at Howard with a complicated expression, holding back his unhappiness. "You don't have to tell me about your affai
Chapter 336Skyler scowled, slowly took out a cigarette, and lit it without saying anything.Jim drank too much. He usually gave Skyler advice, but he discouraged Skyler today.He said, "To be honest, you just can't accept that Jocelyn doesn't like you, so you want to do something to save face. After all, you are always chased by other women, but she is different, so you are naturally attracted to her. I don't think you like Jocelyn very much."Lexie ignored Jim, so Jim was frustrated and pessimistic.After saying that, he held the bottle and took a gulp of wine.Skyler looked icy and took a puff at his cigarette thoughtfully.Perhaps Jim's words were reasonable. Skyler had never suffered any setbacks before. Even though his family was wealthy, he hid his identity and started with nothing. During that period, he had met some difficult problems but had easily solved them.However, Jocelyn made him learn what failure felt like.In the past, he had never taken any women seriously
Chapter 337Skyler interrupted Jocelyn directly in a mocking tone, "Because you had dinner with someone more important than me, right? You don't need to tell me. I knew that. Anyway, you're dispensable."As Jocelyn heard the last sentence, her expression changed, and her face blanched. "What did you say?"Skyler's gaze was obscure, and his tone was harsh. "Didn't I make it clear enough? Or do you have a problem with your comprehension? My parents have never met you. Do you think it matters if you go to their home or not? Who do you think you are?"Jocelyn's face darkened as she stared at Skyler with wide eyes in disbelief. "So that's what you think?"Skyler's expression was indifferent. "Of course. Do you think my parents and I couldn't have dinner because you didn't come?"Jocelyn's face turned livid. "Skyler, you bastard!"Skyler snorted and walked up to Jocelyn. His eyes narrowed menacingly, and his expression was cold as he said word by word, "Jocelyn, before you curse me, y
Chapter 338Jocelyn looked up at Jim. "She's back in the IT department now. Go and find her."After Jocelyn said that, Jim breathed a sigh of relief.As soon as he turned around, he ran into Yvie who had just come in.When Yvie saw Jim, her eyes widened. She thought, 'Isn't this the handsome guy who helped me yesterday?'She couldn't stop staring at Jim, but unfortunately, Jim had something on his mind, so he walked straight past her without looking at her.Yvie's face flashed with a trace of gloom. She couldn't help but clench her hands.However, she quickly consoled herself. He came to the design department, which meant that someone in the design department knew him, so she could also easily learn his identity.Thinking of this, Yvie hurriedly went to Jocelyn and said in a hesitant and apprehensive voice, "Jocelyn... Who did that man come to see?""You're talking about Jim? He came to see me for something." Jocelyn glanced at Yvie and asked in surprise, "Don't you know him?
Chapter 339In the corridor.Jim's voice was deep. "Lexie, why have you been avoiding me in the past two days? Aren't we friends?"Lexie looked up at Jim, her face expressionless. "Yes, so we should keep each other at a distance."Jim frowned. "What are you talking about? Why should one keep their friends at a distance?"Lexie wrinkled her brows slightly. "Because men and women are different. If you were a girl, I would probably be your best friend."Lexie had implicitly made it clear that she could only be friends with Jim and that they would never be a couple.Jim understood her meaning. He was stunned, and his face darkened. "Why do I have to keep my distance from you, but Davis didn't need to?"Lexie's little face was cold and annoyed. "Do you have to remind me how pathetic I was in my emotional life?"Jim was flustered. "Lexie, you've misunderstood. I mean..."Jim looked at Lexie with chagrin, suddenly not knowing what to say.Yvie's heart trembled slightly. She felt th
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
