Jocelyn turned around and stared at him coldly. “Is there anything else, President Moore?”

Skyler frowned and said, “It’s nothing of great importance, but you’d better keep your distance from Abel in the future. He’s not on good terms with me!”

Jocelyn nodded and said, “Alright, I got it, President Moore.”

Jocelyn left after speaking.

Skyler massaged the center of his brows. Jocelyn’s attitude tonight made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After Jocelyn returned to her room, she threw the cuff on her bed and fell asleep.

Skyler stood on the spot for a while before heading to the guest room to take a shower.

After taking a shower, he stood before the entrance of the master bedroom for a few seconds. He recalled his conversation with Jocelyn just now. He felt that it was inappropriate for him to hug Jocelyn to sleep.

He turned around and walked toward the guest room.

Before sleeping, he put a mint in his mouth. Ever since he quit smoking, it became a habit for hi

    Yvie was slightly worried when she saw Jocelyn freezing in place. “Jocelyn, are you alright?!” Just then, the man looked over after hearing Yvie’s voice. When his gaze met Jocelyn’s eyes and landed on her familiar face, he was stunned as well. Jocelyn shot up from her seat at once. Her chest heaved heavily as she called out in a tentative voice, “Director Lang?” Davis smiled in exasperation. A bitter smile formed on his lips. “Jocelyn!” He had previously gone on a business trip, so he did not know about Jocelyn coming over to Prosperity Jewelry at all. He was filled with complicated emotions when he saw her in the design department of Prosperity Jewelry. After hiding for three years, he finally got spotted by someone he knew. There were plenty of questions in Jocelyn’s heart as she looked at Davis, who was standing before her. However, she did not know what to say. Why did he change his last name to Lang?Why did he cut off contact with everyone for the past thre

    Skyler suddenly felt rather displeased.He walked to his seat and said coldly, “You guys are so noisy. Do you not intend to have a meeting anymore? Do you think this is a market?” Actually, everyone had already quietened down when Skyler walked into the conference room. Now that he was throwing a tantrum, nobody dared to say anything. Davis noticed how Skyler’s gaze was fixed on him. “President Moore, I’m sorry. I was being disrespectful toward you!” Skyler shouted out coldly, “Let’s have the meeting!” Skyler seemed to be at odds with Davis. He asked him to present the takeaways from the previous season and discuss the progress plans for the next season. Luckily, Davis was rather capable. These tasks were not difficult for him at all. After Davis finished speaking, Skyler spoke up immediately. “There are three important points that the design department of Prosperity Jewelry needs to focus on. Firstly, we must raise our designers’ profiles through all sorts of large-

    Skyler froze as he looked at Davis in shock. He did not expect this at all.It was no wonder the two of them seemed to be so close to each other. He opened a document folder and asked, “Why didn’t you mention this before?” Davis laughed bitterly and told him honestly, “I’ve not been in contact with my close friends in university for a long time. This is the first time that I’m meeting Jocelyn in three years’ time!” The discomfort that Skyler felt in his heart dissipated slightly. Skyler did some self-reflection. He had always been a dominant person. He must have started to view Jocelyn as his personal possession. That was the reason why he felt uncomfortable about it. After all, they were both married. He sat up and leaned against his office chair. He then spoke up in a seemingly casual tone, “Since you’re a close acquaintance of hers, you should understand her well. Tell me what you know about her!” Davis pondered upon it for a moment before saying calmly, “She’s

    The other end of the phone suddenly went silent. Jocelyn said, “It’s Senior Lang, whom you’ve missed so badly throughout the years!” As soon as Jocelyn finished speaking, a loud “Ah” rang out on the other end of the call. The sound of a heavy item falling on the ground suddenly rang out. It sounded like objects were crashing against each other. Jocelyn grew slightly panicked. “Lexie, how are you?” After some time, she heard Lexie’s shaky and pained voice. “Jocelyn…I lost my balance just now. I fell down the stairs!” Jocelyn’s face paled at once. “Wait there. I’ll call the ambulance. I’ll come over immediately!” Jocelyn started panicking. Lexie lived alone. She did not know how badly she had fallen. Jocelyn felt extremely guilty. She knew how important Chance was to Lexie. She should not have told her about him so suddenly.Jocelyn called for an ambulance and took leave from the company. She then rushed over to the hospital immediately. Meanwhile, Lexie lay on th

    Jim was infuriated. He pressed on the accelerator without thinking and drove towards Abel’s Hummer without thinking. His sports car then collided with the Hummer. The moment the cars collided harshly with each other; the intense impact caused Jim’s body to jerk forward. When he tried to sit back in the car seat, he hit his arm on the car door. He hissed in pain. He could tell that he had hurt his left arm. Abel sat in his Hummer. He did not mind the dents and scratches on his car at all. He faced Jim, who was seated in his sports car, and spoke up in an arrogant tone. “What a weakling! You’ve underestimated your own abilities!” After speaking, he started his car and drove away at once. Jim punched his steering wheel angrily. His fist hurt so much that he clenched his teeth. When Skyler picked up Jim’s call, Jim was in an ambulance. Despite how painful Jim’s arm was, he could not stop himself from speaking. He told Skyler about everything. “Skyler, you don’t know

    Jocelyn did not expect the man that she had rescued would turn out to be Zayn Claud. He had helped her prove that Lily White had faked her suicide attempt! She smiled and nodded. She then reached out her hand to shake Zayn’s hand. “Nice to meet you, I’m Jocelyn White. You published a notice about my half-sister faking her suicide! I’ve always thought that you were a good man, Mr. Claud. I didn’t expect you to be so young!” Just then, she recalled what the group of men had said when they beat Zayn up. If she did not understand things wrongly, Zayn had gotten beaten up because of how he took the initiative to publish the notice. Jocelyn felt slightly guilty. They both let go of each other’s hands. Zayn had a shocked expression on his face. “It’s you!” The popular plagiarism incident was related to the fake suicide case in Claude Hospital. Of course, he knew about it!Jocelyn smiled and nodded. “It’s me. I haven’t thanked you for your righteous act. Thanks to you, the netizen

    Jocelyn could not figure out the emotions in Skyler’s gaze. However, she still told him the truth. “Lexie!” Zayn could tell that Jocelyn was acting rather unnaturally in front of Jim and Skyler. He spoke up at the right time. “Jocelyn, may I know who they are?” Jocelyn glanced at Zayn and tried explaining things to him at once. “This is the CEO of Prosperity Jewelry, Skyler Moore. The injured one is his friend!” Jim raised his brow after listening to Jocelyn’s introduction. He glanced at Skyler instinctively as a sense of despondence overcame him. Were they both not married? Why was Jocelyn acting like she did not know him well? Jocelyn did not notice Jim’s reaction at all. She introduced Zayn to them after speaking. “President Moore, Mr. Rand, this is the director of Claude Hospital, Mr. Zayn Claude.” Skyler glanced at Jocelyn silently. He then reached out his hand to Zayn. “Mr. Claude, it’s nice to finally meet you!”Zayn and Skyler were both well-known in Mauve City.

    Hearing Jim’s words, Skyler seemed to grow a little angry then and when he thought about Jocelyn's gift-giving the night before, he had even taken the opportunity to criticize her. Jocelyn seemed to be a little angry then. However, she had always been well in control of her emotions that even in response to Howard's betrayal, she even fought back calmly.Last night, her appearance at the time had at most been somewhat indifferent.He raised his gaze and looked at Jim. “It’s not what you think. Also, pretend you know nothing about the marriage certification between us in the future and leave our affairs alone. Don't talk nonsense when you go out either!"After Skyler said all this, he entered the elevator immediately. Jim frowned fiercely as he watched the elevator close in front of him. He shrugged helplessly. "OK, whatever you say!"In the ward. Jocelyn had never seen Skyler’s expression change like that before. However, Lexie was meeting her face to face and she could see e

"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.

"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.

    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

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.

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.
