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 394However, Skyler came alone.When Skyler came in, Jim had even stared behind Skyler.Yet Skyler came over and sat on a sofa with no one else behind him.Jim's face changed. He strode over to Skyler and whispered, "Where is she?"Skyler scowled and asked knowingly, "Who do you mean?"Jim elbowed him. "Jocelyn, of course!"Skyler's voice got even colder. "I don't care where she is."Jim looked at him incredulously. "You told me this morning that you had told her about your birthday. She stood you up?"Jim knew Skyler well. Skyler minded being stood up, so Jim was a little worried about Skyler and Jocelyn.Yet Skyler gave him a cool look. "Who told you I was stood up?"Jim frowned. "If not, what else could it be?"Skyler's eyes darkened, and his expression was somewhat unreadable. "I just asked her if she was free today. I was going to bring her to the party, but she had arranged to have dinner with Abel today!"Jim froze. "So you didn't say anything else?"A hint
Chapter 395At Serene Court.After the dishes were served, Abel put the plates in front of Jocelyn as if she had suffered from hunger.Seeing Jocelyn eat seriously, Abel couldn't help but curve his lips while staring at Jocelyn.Jocelyn glanced up and saw that Abel was smiling playfully in the light, and with a purple diamond on his ear, he looked quite dashing.She ate and raised her eyebrows. "Why don't you eat? What are you staring at me for?"Abel smiled and said, "Jocelyn, do you think I'm handsome?"Abel seemed to be casual, but he was a little nervous.He had just been attracted to Jocelyn at first.But after Jocelyn saved him, he fell in love with her.Although he rarely cared about anything, he took his feelings for Jocelyn very seriously.Jocelyn felt a little uncomfortable under Abel's gaze. She could not help but glare at him. "Don't peacock in front of me!"Abel seemed a little aggrieved. "Jocelyn, you scolded me!"Jocelyn gave him a cool look. "Did I?""You
