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
Chapter 396Jocelyn was so sad. She must like Skyler very much.Even so, Abel could not let Skyler have a chance.Abel liked Jocelyn, and he was skeptical of Skyler's character.Abel looked straight at Jocelyn, put away his phone, and continued, "Jocelyn, I know Skyler likes you, so he is my rival!"Jocelyn closed her eyes. Her mind was occupied by the picture of Ilona and Skyler.She felt that she was a bit emotional now, as she was guessing from the picture, not like her usual self at all.She should believe that there was nothing between Skyler and Ilona. He had explained it before.Yet thinking about Skyler's attitude today made her a little unsure.She shook her head sadly and confusedly. "You're wrong. He doesn't like me!"If he liked her, he wouldn't have asked her not to have feelings for him, and he wouldn't have denied it without thinking when she asked if he liked her.Abel took a deep breath with his hands clenched, his expression a little nervous.He gazed at J
Chapter 397Jim was relieved, looking at Skyler, who had been sitting on the sofa like a statue. "My goodness! Jocelyn, you finally saw my post."Jocelyn's voice was apologetic. "Sorry, I just knew it was Skyler's birthday today.""Skyler hates being stood up. If you don't come over, he'll be mad." Jim peeked at Skyler while leaning against the window, talking to Jocelyn on the phone.Jocelyn nodded. "I'm so sorry. I'll be right there and try to make it before midnight!"Jim nodded. "Okay, I'll send you the location!"Jim hung up the phone. Just as he walked over to Skyler, Skyler looked up at him. "Who are you talking to on the phone?"Jim smiled awkwardly. "Just a client!"Skyler looked at him sullenly. "Jocelyn is your client?"Jim looked at him in shock. "How do you know it was Jocelyn?"Skyler grunted coldly. "You've admitted it!"Skyler felt Jim strange when seeing Jim looking at him nervously, so Skyler made a guess.He had not expected that it would indeed be Jocely
Chapter 398The seconds ticked by.Thinking that Jocelyn was coming over, Skyler wanted to take the chance to introduce Jocelyn to Walter.However, before Jocelyn could arrive, Walter and Snow came over.Walter said, "Skyler, we've eaten the cake, and your birthday is almost over. We have work tomorrow, so Snow and I are leaving."Skyler looked at the clock. It was already eleven o'clock.When he thought that Jocelyn had not come yet, his handsome face darkened, and his voice turned cold. "Then you guys can go now."He did not want to tell Walter that the person he liked had just known it was his birthday today and was hurrying here.Walter, who noticed that his brother was strange, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "What's up? Today is your birthday, but you are not happy."Skyler's voice was icy, without a trace of emotion. "My birthday comes every year. Is it necessary to be that happy?"Walter knew Skyler's character. Skyler was always cold. Walter resignedly shook hi
Chapter 399Ilona curved her lips and gave Jocelyn a provocative look. Just as Ilona was about to lean on Skyler's shoulder, Jocelyn froze.Before Ilona could rest her head on Skyler's shoulder, Skyler suddenly moved his shoulder and got up.Ilona lost her balance, and she did not expect Skyler to do that, so she fell onto the sofa.Jim was stunned, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter.Jocelyn was originally a little sad, but now she was surprised and amused.Ilona got up from the sofa in a mess, glaring at Skyler's back. Ilona's delicate face distorted.She was so angry.Skyler ignored Ilona. He looked at Jocelyn and directly walked toward her.Seeing Skyler approaching, Jim couldn't help but curve his lips. "I've got the person for you, and I can leave now!"Skyler looked at him askance, his voice cold. "You can get lost!"The corners of Jim's mouth twitched in annoyance. "You chase me away after getting what you want. You're so heartless!""I don't know what you
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
