Skyler raised his eyes lazily. "Tell them to wait in the guestroom. Go and call Jocelyn!"Yvonne was a cousin sister from Jim's extended family. Skyler would give Jim face.Yale nodded and left.Skyler sat in his seat for a moment, threw a mint into his mouth, and got up to go to the guest room.The moment Skyler entered, he saw Chad kneeling on the ground.The night before, Skyler had whipped him with the belt. He was beside himself. He fell to his knees and hissed in pain.Skyler sat on the sofa expressionlessly.An infatuated look flashed across Yvonne's eyes. She heard that Josie had gone abroad and this man was single again.She smiled and looked at Skyler. "Skyler, I heard that Chad made you unhappy last night and specially brought him here today to apologize to you!"Skyler lazily raised his eyelids. "Offering a humble apology, where's the humbleness?"The smile on Yvonne's face froze. A humble apology was just an excuse. She really did not expect Skyler to be so serio
Hearing Chad's words, even though Jocelyn knew the whole story, she still felt a little upset.She said expressionlessly, "No need, this matter ends here!"She knew very well that without Chad, there would have been a Tom, or Dick, or even Harry last night.In any case, it was Michael who had plotted against her last night. He wanted to create something that could threaten her.Skyler’s pupils constricted. He did not expect Jocelyn to forgive Chad so easily.Yvonne smiled at Skyler. "Skyler, Miss White has already forgiven Chad. Please let the Jones family off on my account!"Skyler was silent for a few seconds before he said slowly, "I am not doing this for your sake. I am doing this for Jocelyn’s sake. I hope the Jones family will behave themselves!"Yvonne immediately understood what Skyler meant. He was giving face to Jim because she was his cousin sister. Chad was her cousin as well, although they were not close.However, Skyler still gave Jim face.She quickly nodded and
Jocelyn shook her head and analyzed calmly. "There's no need, President Moore. Even if Howard managed to divert the public's attention this time, Skyward Jewelry's reputation is still ruined. His own reputation is even worse. If he wants Skyward Jewelry to rise from the ashes again, the only way for Skyward Jewelry is to change its president."However, based on his personality, he might not give up all his years of hard work to someone else. Therefore, Skyward Jewelry is destined to be nothing but mediocre in the future. If he can't make a name for himself in this industry, there's no hope. This is already the best punishment for him!" Jocelyn said calmly.Skyler's eyes flashed. "You understood the situation quite well!"Jocelyn nodded slightly. "Thank you for your praise, President Moore!"Skyler felt that the low and cold atmosphere was a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly. "If there's nothing else, you can go back to the design department first!"Jocelyn nodded. "Then I'l
Jocelyn's expression changed. This sort of thing happened several times in the past three years.She could not help but ask, "Could you have seen it wrongly?"After all, if it was that easy to find someone who had disappeared for three years, they would have found him long ago.Lexie quickly shook her head, her expression serious. “No, I definitely didn't see wrongly this time!”Seeing how determined she was, Jocelyn said, "Then let's go take a look inside the bar!"At the bar, in the VIP private room.Jim looked at Skyler with a cheeky smile. "You really don't like that Jocelyn? She looks quite attractive!"Skyler frowned slightly. This was the third time he had been questioned today.He was slightly displeased. "You've seen her before?"Jim smiled and said, "On the Internet, of course. Although the picture is not clear, based on my research on women over the past twenty years, she must be a beauty!"Skyler looked at him coldly, not wanting to answer his meaningless words.
Jocelyn sniffled and immediately covered her nose, looking up at the person.The man in front of her had wine-red hair, and under the light, there was a hint of ostentatious dark red. The expression on his handsome face was arrogant and uninhibited.There was a purple ear stud on his left ear that reflected the light. Jocelyn noticed it immediately.She quickly lowered her head and apologized. "I'm really sorry, I entered the wrong room!"With that, Jocelyn turned around to leave.In the end, the other party grabbed her arm. "Who let you go!?"Jocelyn's expression changed slightly. Had she encountered an unreasonable tough nut?She tried her best to be humble. "Then what do you want?"She looked up at the man in front of her.The other party saw her face clearly. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jocelyn's chin. "Raise your head!"Jocelyn froze, feeling displeased. "Please let go!"The other party narrowed his eyes and sized up Jocelyn. Suddenly, he laughed playfully. "Sin
Abel looked at her with a faint smile. "If you don't know how to drink, you can learn. I'll give you your first lesson today!"He continued to speak meaningfully, "Don't worry, this is the brandy that you saw just now. There's no problem with it. As long as you finish these eight glasses of brandy, you can leave. Otherwise, you won't even be able to leave this door!"After saying that, Abel let go of Jocelyn's arm.No one was pulling her, but Jocelyn felt as if there was a heavy weight on her feet, and she could not walk out.She was pretty sure that if she did not drink, she would not be able to rush out of the private room under the eyes of so many people.She took a deep breath and looked at Abel seriously. "Mr. Crain, are you sure I can leave after drinking?"Abel curled his lips. "I never lie!"Jocelyn's expression changed. "Alright, I believe you!"Upon hearing this, Abel's eyes flickered and a strange feeling flashed across his heart.Jocelyn had a tense expression on h
Jocelyn followed Skyler. She felt rather anxious. She did not expect to meet Skyler’s enemy so soon. His enemy had even used her to provoke Skyler since she was his person. Everyone in Mauve City knew that Skyler was the king of jewelry in Mauve City. He was the top figure in the jewelry industry. However, not many people knew about his background. Everyone only knew that he had appeared six years ago and brought Prosperity Jewelry all the way to the peak.Some people had tried to sabotage him in the dark whereas some others had offended him. However, it was said that all these people were finally met with terrible deaths. Throughout the years, nothing happened to Skyler despite how much trouble he got into. Some people said that there was a powerful and mysterious force behind him. After that, more people started fearing him. Just then, a sarcastic laugh rang out. “Skyler, you came out so quickly!” Skyler said coldly, “I don’t need any time to defeat trash like you!”
Lexie was stunned. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her despondent face after hearing what Jocelyn said. Her expression looked quite odd. She seemed rather pitiful.Jocelyn reached out to hug Lexie. She could only comfort her silently and give her courage. Jocelyn returned to Villa No. 1 at North Court. She took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She then heard the sound of the door opening outside. She thought about what happened in the bar tonight. She then looked at the packaged box on the bed. She pursed her lips, picked up the box, and walked outside. Skyler was hanging up his coat when he saw Jocelyn walking over with a small black and blue-colored box in her hands. He frowned. “You’re not asleep yet?” Jocelyn nodded and handed the cuff box over to him. “This is for you. Thank you for saving me last night!” As soon as Skyler saw the box, a voice rang out in his ears. Have you fallen in love with this woman? His expression darkened immediately. The tone of
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
