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 340Mimi was stunned and annoyed. "What do you mean by that? You act as if I'm blackmailing you!"She didn't want to ask for compensation, but after the cab driver said that, she got angry.Before the cab driver could say anything, the back door was opened.Seeing the person who got out of the cab, Mimi froze for a second. How could there be such a good-looking person? He was like a prince in the novel.Mimi was a face-judger. She was charmed by the man, staring fixedly at him.Yet as soon as the man spoke, Mimi wanted to hit him with her shoe.The passenger was none other than Zayn. He was rushing to the hospital.He had to operate soon, so he had urged the cab driver several times.The cab driver would not have scratched Mimi's car if not for him. Zayn had heard Mimi blow up at the cab driver and finally couldn't stand it.Zayn looked at Mimi with a cold face. "Aren't you blackmailing him? You are pretty, and your clothes are expensive. Why do you have to make thing
Chapter 341Zayn decided to ignore this woman who was causing trouble. Anyway, she wasn’t seriously injured.He handed his business card directly to the cab driver. "Hey, buddy. She's not seriously injured, and I have something urgent to deal with. Please help me handle the scratches on her car and pay the medical expenses for her sprain. I'll give you the money later!"Then Zayn was about to leave. Enduring the pain, Mimi grabbed his arm immediately. "Whether I’m seriously injured or not doesn’t depend on you. My ankle and waist hurt a lot. I want to call an ambulance!"Zayn could sense that this woman was deliberately pestering him, so there was no need for him to waste time on her.With a hard face, Zayn pushed Mimi's hand away and said indifferently, "Call an ambulance if you want!"Then he walked away without looking back.Mimi's waist and ankle hurt so badly that she couldn't chase Zayn, so she could only glare at his back.The cab driver stepped forward and wanted to n
Chapter 342Yale didn't know why Skyler suddenly decided to meet Rhode. Moreover, he found it more and more difficult for him to guess what Skyler was thinking about.Seeing Rhode walk towards him, Yale didn't greet her.Rhode successfully entered Skyler's office again.Looking at Skyler touchingly, she greeted him in a soft voice. "Hello, President Moore!"Skyler glanced up at her and asked in an indifferent voice, "What on earth do you want to tell me?"If Rhode hadn’t said that she wanted to tell him something about Jocelyn, Skyler would never see her again.When Rhode heard Skyler's words, she lowered her head, a trace of jealousy flashing in her eyes.‘Both Jocelyn and I want to snare Skyler. But why does Skyler treat Jocelyn differently?’‘However, it’s inappropriate to dwell on it now.’Raising her head, Rhode had held back her jealousy. She replied softly, “During yesterday’s shooting, something wrong happened to Miss White. Did she tell you about it?"Skyler's brows
