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
Chapter 343The place where Mimi had a car accident was not far from Prosperity Jewelry.When Jocelyn reached the place, the ambulance hadn't arrived. Mimi held her waist in silence and stood beside the car with an angry expression on her face.She glanced at Jocelyn and said in a sulky tone, "Wait with me for a bit more while. The ambulance hasn't come yet!"Looking at Mimi, Jocelyn couldn't help frowning. "You..."Mimi curled her lips and then explained, "My waist and ankle were hurt!"Jocelyn felt that Mimi made a mountain out of a molehill. "There seems to be no need to call an ambulance!"Hearing this, Mimi felt abashed, but she was still a little angry. "If that man hadn’t angered me, I wouldn’t have called an ambulance!"Then she told Jocelyn Zayn's evil deeds. "You don't even know how hateful that man is. If I see him again in the future, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"Jocelyn had no choice but to say, "Maybe he is a doctor, and he is not stupid. Even if he wante
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
