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 could not resist remarking, “Not only is Miss Jocelyn White’s name similar to that of Miss Josie Sonnet since they both start from the letter J, but they also look quite alike!”

Skyler swept his sharp gaze upon him and said, “You’ve been by my side for such a long time. You should know what to say and what not to say. I thought that you knew your own limits!”

His assistant was so frightened that he curled up upon himself.

Skyler paused and said, “Besides, their names are spelled differently!”

His assistant had a distraught expression on his face. “President Moore, I shouldn’t have been so talkative!”

Skyler ignored him as his gaze grew heavier. “Follow her. If anything happens, make a move at once!”

His assistant immediately nodded and said, “I’ll do that immediately!”

“Remember that nobody is allowed to bully my people! Do you understand?” Skyler had an icy and haughty expression on his face. He looked as noble as a deity on an altar. Nobody dared to offend him.

His assistant nodded, turned around, and slunk away.

The assistant had just left when Skyler’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at his phone calmly as his pupils shrank visibly.

“Hello?” Skyler picked up his phone and spoke in a suffocatingly cold tone.

“Skyler, I heard that you got a marriage certificate with someone else?” Josie asked in an upset tone.

Skyler’s voice grew colder. “I said that I won’t give anyone the chance to stand me up for the fourth time!”

Josie’s voice cracked as she broke down. “I already asked someone to explain things to you. There are some things that I need to deal with in F Country. Why can’t you give me a little more time? Is the love between us not more important than your self-esteem?”

“Skyler Moore, you’re way too conceited. Do you really love me?”

While Josie continued shouting at Skyler from the other end of the call, he hung up with a cold expression on his face.

Love? There was love between them, but nobody had ever dared to manipulate him by taking advantage of the love he had for them!

If she dared to stand him up, he could always find another woman to take her place. That way, she would never have a second chance.

As soon as Jocelyn got into her car, she turned on the entertainment news.

She caught sight of the hottest news that everyone was currently discussing about.

The CEO of Oasis Jewelry brought his mysterious new wife to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

There were photographs of everything!

All sorts of comments were down below.

A new scumbag is born. Was he not in a relationship with Jocelyn White, a designer from Oasis Jewelry?

Perhaps he registered for the marriage certificate together with Jocelyn White!

That is impossible. I have seen Jocelyn in real life. Their heights are completely different!

Is he a scumbag that cheats on women? Is he not afraid of others finding out about it?

We do not know for sure if he is a scumbag or not. Perhaps both have broken up a long time ago! Such news is just used to gain clout. Keep calm and continue watching the show!

How is that possible? There were photographs of them sweetly attending Lily White’s celebratory gala for her win in the municipal jewelry competition together yesterday!

Anyways, someone like him who is capable of getting a marriage certificate with another mysterious woman when he has an official girlfriend, all while not messing things up, can only be called an expert!

Come on, in conclusion, men are trash!

I am not trash. Look over here, young girl!

Jocelyn scoffed as more and more derogatory comments filled the comment section.

Just then, she received a call from Howard.

“Jocelyn, where are you? All the reporters have arrived. We’re all waiting for you to start the press conference. Look at what they’re talking about me online!”

A mocking smirk formed on Jocelyn’s lips when she heard Howard’s panicked tone. “I’m below the company.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up on the call and walked upstairs.

Howard looked like he had just found his savior the moment he saw Jocelyn. He rushed over, grabbed onto her, and walked toward the venue of the press conference.

“You should know what to say later, right?!”

    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. I hope all of you don’t come up with groundless speculations to ruin our relationship. Otherwise, I’ll take legal action to protect my own rights! Everyone can start asking questions now!” A reporter immediately cut to the chase. “Miss White, do you believe in President Jung’s words? Did you really not realize that he was cheating on you just like they mentioned online?” Jocelyn smiled faint

    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

    Lily’s lawyer letter made this plagiarism incident grow even more in notoriety. 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

    Jocelyn’s post was spreading like wildfire online right now. However, all the reporters present at the venue were all focused on the press conference. None of them had looked at their phones, so they were completely clueless about it. After hearing what Jocelyn said, they took out their phones to look up the post. What a shocking turnaround! Breaking news: Popular designer Lily White has been plagiarizing fellow designer Jocelyn White’s work for the past two years. Photos and videos of the truth are attached to the post.

    Jocelyn immediately started acting. An upset expression formed on her face as she said, “Howard, why are you still blaming me when things have come to this point? It looks like I cannot expect you to restore justice for my sake. Right, you have married Lily. Why would you help me?” As soon as she finished speaking, Howard was so enraged that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. A reporter spoke up at once, “Miss White, why did you think of saving your original design drafts? After all, Lily White has taken them all and submitted them to the competitions that she has joined. There won’t be a reason for you to keep them either. If you really want to sue her, you could’ve sued her countless times in these two years!” Jocelyn rubbed her eyes. It was as if she were rubbing tears from her eyes. “Actually, I kept these original design drafts as a memory of the past. After all, I designed them myself. I only wanted to keep a copy of them. However, I didn’t expect them to come in han

"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.

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

"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

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.

    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...'

    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.
