Skyler turned around in shock as he swept his gaze across her like a radar. “Give me information about her!”

The assistant glanced at Jocelyn and instantly knew what her name was. After all, he knew all the renowned designers in the jewelry industry.

The assistant immediately made a call to start an investigation about her. After a while, he received Jocelyn’s information. He handed the information over to Skyler.

Skyler’s eyes flashed slightly when he saw her name. He read out her name while deep in thought. “Jocelyn…White!”

He placed his emphasis on “Jocelyn”. Jocelyn immediately nodded and said, “That’s me!”

Skyler ignored her and fixed his gaze on that photo while he pondered upon it.

Jocelyn White is a designer from Oasis Jewelry. She is the girlfriend of the CEO of Oasis Jewelry, Howard Jung. She designed a jewelry piece that sold well overseas. However, she did not produce any work in these two years.

Was this considered...the death of a genius?

However, among the people related to Jocelyn, her stepsister, Lily White, had won grand prizes several times in these couple of years. Yesterday, she had just won first place in the municipal jewelry competition.

Besides, her design style was…extremely similar to that of Jocelyn White!

Skyler instantly had an idea of what was going on. He had seen all sorts of dirty tricks in this industry.

He glanced at Jocelyn and said, “Alright!”

Jocelyn finally let out a sigh of relief. She was only marrying Skyler because she wanted Howard to regret everything that he had done.

She wanted him to understand that from today onwards, she would not bother to even look at men like him!

Since Skyler was the one registering for a marriage certificate, the employees opened up a special passage for them so that they could do everything smoothly.

While they were signing the documents, the employees of the Civil Affairs Bureau teased them for being a perfect match and wished that their relationship would last for a long time.

Jocelyn blushed shyly after hearing their words, but Skyler simply disagreed with what they said coldly.

Half an hour later, Jocelyn came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She was now Skyler Moore’s wife.

She saw Lily and Howard through the glass door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. They were still queueing up in front of the building.

Skyler glanced at her expressionlessly and said, “Get in the car. Let’s have a meal first!”

Jocelyn pursed her lips and said, “Alright!”

As soon as they got into the car, Jocelyn saw Howard walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau while holding Lily’s hand. He was looking at his phone with an unpleasant expression on his face.

Lily was holding two newly administered marriage certificates in her hands.

Just then, her phone rang.

Skyler glanced at her and gazed outside the window.

Jocelyn opened the camera and took a photo of them both. Just then, she received a phone call. She then continued making an audio recording.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Jocelyn, where are you?” Howard asked in a dire tone.

“I’m at the hotel. Did you need anything?” Jocelyn asked calmly.

“Jocelyn, I saw a media company reporting that I came to the Civil Affairs Bureau just now. They even posted photos. The woman in the photo isn’t you, so they speculated that I’ve betrayed you and came to get a marriage certificate with someone else. This is a massive joke. Don’t ever believe in it!”

Jocelyn’s gaze flashed as she asked, “So who’s that woman? Why are you at the Civil Affairs Bureau?”

“I…She’s just a friend. She asked me to send her over. She’s going to get a marriage certificate with her boyfriend! I was just doing a good deed, but I got into trouble instead!”

“Do I know that friend of yours?” Jocelyn asked coldly. It was as if she were devoid of any emotions.

“She…You’ve never seen her. I was classmates with her boyfriend in university. I don’t know her well!” Howard was still explaining himself with lame excuses.

Jocelyn said calmly, “I got it. I’ll hang up first!”

“Wait, Jocelyn, since you believe in me, let’s hold a press conference in the afternoon to make things clear. Otherwise, the current situation would affect Oasis Jewelry greatly! You don’t even know how badly those foolish netizens have been scolding me. You must stand on my side!”

A sarcastic sneer formed on Jocelyn’s lips. Yes, she should really stand on the side of her traitor boyfriend!

She tried her best to remain calm as she said, “Alright, see you in the afternoon!”

After hanging up on the call, Jocelyn lowered her head silently.

Skyler cast her a sideways glance and asked, “Was that your ex-boyfriend?”

Jocelyn let out a soft hum.

Skyler spoke to her like he was speaking to his subordinate. “I hope that won’t have too many involvements with him after we get married!”

Jocelyn nodded and looked at Skyler calmly. “Don’t worry, I won’t. However, you need to promise me this as well. I want to keep our marriage a secret. You attract way too much attention. I don’t want to receive so much attention!”

“I’ll let you do as you wish!” Skyler seemed to be talking about something completely unrelated to him.

Jocelyn withdrew her gaze and lowered her head. She continued daydreaming.

She thought that given Skyler’s cold and cool personality, he would not continue speaking. However, she did not expect him to suddenly ask her, “Did Lily White use your design drafts in the competitions that she joined?”

Jocelyn suddenly raised her head to look at him. There was an extremely shocked expression on her face. “How did you know that?”

This was a top-secret matter. Nobody knew about it except her and those two scumbags.

Skyler said coldly, “Only fools wouldn’t be able to tell!”

Jocelyn was yet to calm down from her shock. “Really? I thought that…everyone wouldn’t recognize it!”

Skyler did not reply to her question. Instead, he asked, “Do you need help?”

Jocelyn shook her head immediately. “I don’t need help. I can take revenge on my own. However, you need to give me some time. I can only cut ties with Howard Jung after I take my revenge on him! You must believe me. I won’t do anything to betray you!”

Skyler glanced at her with a slightly shocked gaze. He did not expect this woman to be so headstrong. “Since you don’t want me to take revenge for you, what’s your purpose of getting married to me?”

“I need to find another path for myself!” Jocelyn said honestly.

He hummed affirmatively as he started gaining a sense of liking toward her. “I don’t care how you take your revenge, but since you’ve decided to marry me, you must carry out your responsibilities as my wife! Not only do I want you to be my wife on paper…”

The tone of Skyler’s voice remained nonchalant although he was saying such outrageous words. It was as if he were describing how good the weather was today.

    Jocelyn’s face instantly flushed red. She said stiffly, “Yes, I got it!” Since she dared to marry Skyler, she had already prepared herself for this. She was not a woman of loose morals, but she was not a highly conservative woman either. Since she had become his wife to avoid a disaster, she naturally had to sacrifice something. However, she wished that that day would come later. After all, both of them were still strangers before today. Skyler did not say anything on the way. He remained silent even while they were eating. After eating, Jocelyn suggested that they should leave. After all, she still had to fight in a battle in the afternoon! Skyler glanced at her and said, “Regardless of what you intend to do right now, I’ll ask my assistant to fetch you at 7 p.m. Don’t forget that it’s our wedding night tonight!” Jocelyn blushed and said, “I got it!” She left in a hurry as soon she finished speaking. Skyler’s assistant looked at Jocelyn’s silhouette and

    Jocelyn’s gaze flashed as she said, “Yes, I know what to say. Didn’t you tell me everything during our call this afternoon?” Howard nodded in satisfaction. At the venue of the press conference. Howard sat beside Jocelyn shamelessly. “Everyone, please calm down. We’re going to clarify the truth about the rumors that broke out in the entertainment news today afternoon. I was just sending a friend over to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I didn’t get a marriage certificate with someone else like everyone has accused me of doing.” “My relationship with Jocelyn has always been perfectly well.

Everyone can start asking questions now!” A reporter immediately cut to the chase. “Miss White, do you believe in President Jung’s words?

    Skyler picked up the call with a cold expression outside the door. “Hello.” “Skyler, don’t marry someone else. Can you wait a little longer for me?” Josie asked. From the tone of her voice, he could tell that she had been crying. “It’s too late!” Skyler’s voice was cold and heartless. Josie seemed to have been triggered by his words. She roared out in a furious and distraught tone, “Skyler Moore, don’t regret this! I’ll never come back to you for the rest of my life!” Skyler had an icy and haughty expression on his face. He hung up on the call immediately. Regret? Hah, regrets did not exist in Skyler Moore’s life. He turned around and opened the door of the room. He then walked toward Jocelyn, who seemed to be deep in thought. “Are you ready?” He asked her in a deep tone. Of course, Jocelyn knew what he was referring to. Things that were meant to be would eventually happen. She nodded and said, “Yes.” Skyler picked her up and walked toward the large bed, which h

    There was an icy glint in Jocelyn’s gaze. She turned on her phone’s audio and screen recording function at the same time. Jocelyn walked into Howard's office. Howard cut to the chase at once. “Jocelyn, I heard that you drew a new design draft. It seems to be even better than the one that you gave Lily yesterday!” Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes, I thought of an excellent design, so I just sketched my ideas out!” “Give the design draft that you just drew to Lily then. Anyways, you won’t be using it!” Howard did not even bother to conceal his hideous words and attitude. He spoke to her in an almost imperative tone. Jocelyn suppressed the rage and sorrow in her heart. Why could she not tell that Howard was such a scumbag in the past? She did not give him her usual reply. Instead, she flat-out rejected him. “No, I want to keep this design draft for myself this time around! Besides, didn’t I give her one yesterday?” There was an unpleasant expression on Howard’s face. “That d

    Howard and Lily were chatting happily when they suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression. Howard raised his head immediately. Suddenly, a shocked expression formed on his face. He looked at the man beside their table and asked, “President Moore, why did you come over?” He had only seen Skyler Moore twice. He did not expect Skyler to recognize him. He stood up immediately. He was at a loss for where to place his hands and legs. “President Moore, are you here for dinner as well?” Jocelyn had yet to return to her senses. Skyler was here to have dinner too? Skyler glanced at Howard and moved his calm gaze onto Lily’s face. He smiled faintly and said, “I’m here to look for this young lady.” Lily instantly blushed and got up. “President…President Moore, do we know each other?” Skyler spoke to her in an amused tone, “This young lady feels like an old friend of mine. We must be fated!” Lily lowered her head shyly as she blushed and her heart raced. She could not help b

    After Jocelyn finished submitting her draft, Skyler finished taking his bath. He then came out of the bathroom. He was topless whereas he had a towel wrapped around his lower body. His thin but sturdy physique was and eight-pack abs were clearly visible. His physique made him look good in clothes, but he also boasted a good figure without them as well. Jocelyn looked at the water droplets on his abs that did not get dried off by his towel. She blushed and moved her gaze away. She did not dare to continue looking at him. Skyler walked over and stood beside her. “Have you finished working on it?” Jocelyn lowered her head like a quail. “Yes, it’s all done!” Skyler added, “Are you satisfied with the gift that I gave you?” Jocelyn immediately nodded. “I’m satisfied. It’s really useful!” Skyler let out an affirmative hum and said, “Go to sleep then!” Jocelyn blushed and raised her head. She was so nervous that she did not know what to do. “Ah!” Skyler could read her

Even the organizer of the Starlight Jewelry Competition stated that they would ban Jocelyn from participating in their competitions permanently. However, Century Jewelry Competition was yet to say anything. Not long after Lily’s lawyer published his letter, Jocelyn received a call from Howard. Jocelyn picked up her phone expressionlessly. She made sure to record the phone call. “Jocelyn White, what the f*ck are you doing? Who asked you to submit that design in another competition?” Howard’s voice on the other end of the phone was filled with rage. Jocelyn had lost all expectations she had from this man a long time ago. She spoke to him in a flat tone, “Why can’t I use the design draft that I’ve drawn myself as I wish to?” Howard was enraged. “Well, you didn’t say that you were going to submit this draft for a competition!” Jocelyn’s eyes flashed. “I recall that I didn’t agree to give t

"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.

"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.

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.

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!

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.
