Chapter 386Skyler's expression became stilted. He avoided Jocelyn's gaze. "Nothing special! I just asked casually!"She frowned. She was anxious to clock in, so she didn't notice his strange reaction but said in a hurry, "I don't know if I'm available this Friday. If I'm not available, I will tell you!"He nodded. "Got it!"Hearing that, she closed the car door and rushed towards the elevator.Looking at her back, he sighed. He didn't get out of the car until he sat in the car for a long time.As soon as Jocelyn arrived at the design department and sat down, Yvie came up to her quietly.Yvie said, "I heard that you had gotten hurt. Have you recovered yet?"Jocelyn thought that Yvie was caring about her health. She said with a smile, "I have recovered. Thank you for your concern!"Yvie smiled awkwardly, blinked, glanced at her secretly and said nervously, "I heard that Lexie of the IT department had resigned!"Jocelyn didn't take what Yvie had said seriously. She sorted out h
Chapter 387Hearing what Yvie had said, Jocelyn sighed. "Alright. If I get any news about Jim, I will tell you. But please do not say that you won't snatch Jim from Lexie. Lexie hasn't been with Jim. It's only Jim's own wishful thinking!"What Jocelyn had said was straightforward. Yvie felt surprised and said, "How is it possible? Mr. Rand is so nice. Why doesn't Lexie like him?"Jocelyn frowned. Then she thought that Yvie was always the first one who stood up to defend her no matter what had happened, so she said sincerely, "Although you think that he is nice, it doesn't mean that all the others will think that he is nice. Different people have different opinions. Do you understand?"Yvie was a little listless and nodded in confusion. "I understand roughly!"Jocelyn nodded. "Alright. Now that you have understood my meaning, you can go to work now. Don't think too much!"Yvie was in a bad mood and went to work.Jocelyn had promised Yvie to tell her Jim's news.To Jocelyn's surp
Chapter 388Lexie let go of Jim's arm and walked toward Jocelyn.Seeing Lexie walking towards them, Skyler said in a low voice to Jocelyn, "You can have a chat with Lexie. I will go somewhere else!"Jocelyn nodded.As soon as Skyler left, Jocelyn couldn't help but ask, "Why do you come here? You always avoided Jim. I thought that you wouldn't come here with him!"After Lexie heard that, a trace of irritation flashed through her cold face. "If you had been badgered by him for the whole day, you would compromise too. Besides, he told me that you would come here. Thus, I come here and would like to confirm if you have recovered or not!"Skyler kept an eye on Jocelyn tightly before, and Jocelyn didn't want Lexie to see her wounds all over, so she refused Lexie's visit.Jocelyn didn't expect Lexie to be worried about her for so long. She felt sorry for Lexie.Thinking of Yvie, Jocelyn asked, "Jim is pursuing you. Do you have any feelings for him?"Lexie glanced at Jocelyn. "We're j
Chapter 389Ilona held the glass and froze.She didn't expect someone to help Jocelyn in such a situation. She gritted her teeth in anger.Jocelyn didn't have the time to avoid the wine and thought that she would be splashed. Unexpectedly, Zayn showed up in time and blocked the wine for her.She raised her head and saw Zayn looking at her with concern. He asked, "Are you OK?"She shook her head, got rid of his arms, glanced at his back and said resignedly, "Your suit is stained!"After she finished speaking, she turned around to look at Ilona. Jocelyn's eyes were filled with disgust. She said coldly, "Are you out of mind? Don’t make a scene here!"'If she splashed the wine on me, I would let it go.''After all, I pissed her off. However, she splashed the wine on Zayn. He is my friend. I'm not able to keep calm.'When Ilona was about to say something, someone said in a cold and clear voice, "Why are you all gathering here?"Zayn saw Skyler walking over. Zayn glanced at him and
Chapter 390Skyler said coldly, "In the morning, didn't you say that we would get a divorce sooner or later? I haven't given you any decent gifts yet. Choose one!"Jocelyn was reluctant to accept it. "There is no need for you to buy a gift for me indeed!"He said peremptorily and coldly, "Now that you refuse to choose one, I will regard it as that you want me to choose a gift for you!"Jocelyn's face froze. 'I have never meant that!'He knew that she might feel unhappy, so he glanced at her and explained kindly, "Don't think too much. Even if I buy it, I may not give it to you!"Hearing that, she was relieved indeed.'But it means that he will give it to another woman!' After she thought it over, she felt bitter.'I'm bitchy indeed. When he said that he would like to buy a gift for me, I felt unhappy. After he said that he might give it to another, I still felt unhappy!'Soon, the auction was nearly finished. Skyler hadn't seen the item that he was interested in yet.He was i
Chapter 391The host smilingly said, "Does anyone else want to continue to bid? If not, I will put the hammer down to determine the final winner. 100 million dollars, going once, going twice, sold. Congratulations to Mr. Moore, you won the coronet. After the auction, the staff will contact you to hand over the coronet!"The charity auction ended. Jocelyn went to the restroom.Skyler was waiting for her outside.At that moment, Ilona came over, her face livid. "Skyler, do you have to stand against me for Jocelyn?"Skyler looked at her casually, and his tone was cool. "Who are you to make me stand against you?"Ilona's hands trembled slightly in anger as she sobbed, "Skyler, why do you have to be like this? What do you see in Jocelyn? The girlfriend you talked about at your house that day is Jocelyn, right? Her family background is not as good as mine, and her face and figure are not better than mine. Why do you..."Skyler did not want to bother with her, so he directly interrupte
Chapter 392Jim had a curious look on his face. "Don't look at me like that. It creeps me out. I'm just curious. Are you planning to give that to Jocelyn?"Skyler's eyes flashed as he said calmly, "I know her well. She won't accept it now!"Jim was confused. "Then why did you buy that? Just for fun? I thought you had bought such an expensive thing to please her."He heard that Skyler had bought the coronet, partly because he was cross with Ilona. Perhaps Ilona had upset Jocelyn, so Skyler went against Ilona.Skyler looked at Jim as if Jim were a retard. "Even though she doesn't accept it now, it doesn't mean she won't accept it in the future. Be smart!"When Jim heard this, he understood. "So you're planning to give it to her later?"Skyler gave Jim a look and told him the truth. "I want to start over with her!"Jim's face was full of confusion. "You guys are married. How do you want to start over?"Skyler looked at Jim as if Jim were an idiot, but because Jim was his old frie
Chapter 393Now, Jocelyn knew Skyler's temperament.If she asked him now, Skyler would not tell her the reason.Up till the end of the day, Jocelyn didn't receive any messages or calls from Skyler.She guessed that Skyler might just be upset that she would go to see Abel and that Skyler had no arrangements for her.Abel booked a room at Serene Court, where he had once played billiards and lost to Jocelyn. He had been attracted to her since that time.So he chose this place today. After dinner, he could play billiards with Jocelyn.When Jocelyn went over, Abel was already in the private room.Seeing Jocelyn come in, Abel stood up with a smile and pulled a chair for Jocelyn.Jocelyn and Abel became close friends after going through the difficulties together, so she directly began to order food without ceremony.After that, Jocelyn remembered that Abel had not attended the charity party.She glanced at Abel. "By the way, why didn't you go to the charity party two days ago?"Sh
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
