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 400Jocelyn shook her head with a wry smile. "I didn't!"Skyler scowled. "That means you're planning to give me a bag of noodles and vegetables as a birthday present."Jocelyn listened to his odd idea and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I won't just give them to you. I just think that I can make noodles for you on your birthday. I think you have already eaten the cake. So I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles for you. I knew there was a kitchen here. But I guessed there were no vegetables and noodles here, so when I came over, I bought them."Hearing Jocelyn's explanation, Skyler instantly felt comforted.He finally said, "You're not that heartless. I'll take you to the kitchen."Jocelyn nodded with a smile and followed Skyler to the kitchen.There were indeed no ingredients to make noodles in the kitchen, but fortunately, Jocelyn had bought noodles, vegetables, and eggs.After walking into the kitchen, she turned on the burner to make noodles.Skyler felt that the crow
Chapter 401Then Skyler stretched out his hand to take the phone charm in Jocelyn’s hand.When their hands touched, Jocelyn’s hand trembled suddenly.After getting the charm, Skyler immediately hung it on his phone.He even waved his phone to show off in front of Jocelyn. "It looks great, right?"Looking at his flamboyant gesture, Jocelyn couldn't help raising her lips. "Yes!"She had been afraid that Skyler would not like it!Jocelyn finished making the noodles within ten minutes, and it was only half past eleven.Looking at the time, she put the noodles on the table and said, "Have a try. There is still half an hour before midnight, so my present for you comes in time!"When Skyler heard it, he cast a glance at her. Then he sat on the high stool and began to eat the noodles.Jocelyn felt a little surprised. "Don't you go outside to eat them?"Shaking his head, Skyler answered, "No. As there are many people outside, it's too noisy!"He just wanted to stay with Jocelyn in t
Chapter 402Skyler answered the call with a hard voice. "Hello!"Josie said on the end of the phone in a surprised voice, "Skyler, you’ve finally answered my call. I thought you wouldn't answer it!"When Skyler heard Josie's words, he fell silent. As Jocelyn sat in the same car with him, he didn't want to explain to Josie now.Josie continued, "Skyler, I know that though you have a sharp tongue, you’re soft-hearted. You also miss me, right?"Skyler still kept silent, as if he hadn't heard Josie’s words.Josie was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are you listening to me?"Skyler's face was dark, and he answered in a cold voice, "Yes!"Josie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Great! Although I'm not the first person to wish you a happy birthday today, I can be the last one. It's almost twelve o'clock. Happy birthday!"Skyler snorted even without a word of thanks.Josie didn't seem to mind his indifference, as she had known that Skyler was such a cold man.When she re
Chapter 403Jocelyn handed her phone to Skyler. "Look. The news has grabbed the headlines. It reports that although Renee’s parents were not seriously beaten, they couldn’t recover within less than half a month! "Skyler's eyes flashed with guilt, but he replied in a calm voice, "Really? But this is what Renee’s parents deserved."Jocelyn nodded with a smile when she thought that Renee’s mother had slapped her. "I think the same! God punished them."Leaning on the sofa, Skyler nodded. But he looked expressionless, and no one could guess what he was thinking about.Jocelyn rolled her eyes and asked suddenly, "Did you ask someone to beat Renee’s parents?"Skyler became stunned and turned sharply to look at Jocelyn. "Don't take a wild guess. Why did I do such a thing?"Jocelyn glanced at Skyler suspiciously. "I just think that it’s your style of teaching people a lesson. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t do it!"Skyler fell speechless. He considered that Jocelyn would think he had a
Chapter 404When Skyler saw Jocelyn answering a call, he picked up his phone, as he planned to call Nancy, the show planner.When Jocelyn noticed Skyler was walking towards the balcony with his phone, she didn’t think much and continued talking with Lexie.Lexie had been a detached person, but the show really angered her.She suggested, "Find out what's going on. You’d better not participate in the second episode of the show!"Jocelyn knitted her brows tightly. "But the contract I’ve signed requires me to take part in the second episode!"On the balcony.The second Nancy answered Skyler’s call, she heard him say angrily, "Nancy, give me an explanation. Is your show deliberately targeting the designer of my company?"Nancy replied in an apologetic voice, "President Moore, I’m sorry. This is not the case. The show did this to create a highlight and attract people's attention. If the show is not popular, your investment and sponsorship will be wasted!"Skyler knitted his brows an
Chapter 405At this, Skyler felt confused. He couldn't help frowning when he saw Jocelyn lower her head after saying these words.She didn’t vent her feelings, but just sat thoughtfully, as it was not the first time that she had been scolded by netizens.However, she could reverse netizens’ opinion of her when they blamed her for plagiarizing Lily’s designs, as she had evidence.But now, she was totally at a loss to deal with this matter.When Skyler noticed that Jocelyn kept silent and gawked at nothingness, he felt very worried, because he had never seen she look so dispirited before.The moment his eyes fell on her phone, he saw at a glance some hashtags, and his face hardened immediately.#Jocelyn is so fierce##Drive Jocelyn out of the show##I feel sorry for Rhode#After he took out his phone and flipped through Twitter’s hashtags for only several seconds, he wanted to scold the netizens.Though the show hadn’t come to an end, Jocelyn had been scolded by a majority 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
