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
The faint smile on Lexie's face abated in an instant.Jim noticed Lexie’s expression cooling and instantly snapped alert. Jocelyn stood at the side expressionlessly, saying nothing.She could somewhat tell that this friend of Skyler’s was a philanderer. Unexpectedly, he had actually focused his attention on Lexie. Jim decided to quit while he was ahead. He looked at Lexie and blinked his eyes. "I'll come to see you again soon!"The moment Jim left, Jocelyn looked at Lexie. "Lexie, I made a call to Davis just now. We’ll come to see you after work ends late afternoon. You rest up and don’t pay Jim too much heed. I can tell from a glance what kinda person he is!"Lexie looked at Jocelyn. "I can tell too. Don't worry, I only like Ch... Davis!"Jocelyn looked at her hesitantly and said, "You... as long as you’re aware. Also, don’t call him Chance anymore in the future. Chance doesn’t exist in this world anymore, only Davis. This is Davis’s own decision, do you understand?"Lexie n
When Jocelyn returned to the design department, one of Fiona's customers had just come to make some customizations.Fiona brought the customer to the reception room. When she passed Jocelyn, she raised her voice deliberately. "Don't worry, Miss Lynn, I can meet your requirements no matter what design you want and ensure that you shine at the banquet!"Miss Lynn's voice was soft. "You’re someone Josie recommended and I trust in her word!"Fiona’s expression changed slightly, looking a little unnatural. She quickened her pace and walked toward the reception room.She had initially wanted to show off how powerful she was to Jocelyn but in the end, Lynn Quirrel suddenly pointed out that she was a customer that Josie had left to her.Fiona instantly felt like she had fallen a step lower in front of Jocelyn and her mood was sour. As soon as they left, Yvie snickered. "Jocelyn, she was purposely trying to show off to you!"Jocelyn’s lips curved upwards. "Yes, I could tell. It's just t
Jocelyn continued to refuse. "President Moore, there’s really no need. Davis is a senior of Lexie’s and mine. He doesn't know which hospital Lexie had been admitted to and I promised Lexie to bring Senior Davis to the hospital!"Skyler was being refused to the core. His expression was cold and ugly.Why could he not know? If Jocelyn wanted to take his car, she could have just told Davis the hospital and ward number!The point was, she just did not want to accept his ride. When Skyler hit Jocelyn before, he definitely did not expect this situation. He just did not want Jocelyn to get any wayward thoughts, he did not want her to start hiding from him like some prey from a predator. Skyler felt a great discomfort in his heart. He looked at Jocelyn coldly and sneered. “Fine then!”Saying that, he immediately rolled up the windows and drove off. Jocelyn accidentally inhaled the car exhaust and choked, she could not hold herself back from coughing twice. Davis glanced at Jocely
Jocelyn knew that Davis had not noticed that Lexie liked him that time. Lexie was cool but she was also shy. They had known each other for three years, her love was deep. Lexie had initially planned to confess to Davis when he graduated from college. In the end, Davis had disappeared after graduating.Jocelyn knew Lexie and knew that she was suffering again.She brought the laptop over. “First take a look and see if your laptop is fine. If something really went wrong, I’ll bring it to someone to have it fixed! I’ll go order us some food first!”Davis was a little worried. “Are you really alright, Lexie?”There was a trace of imperceptible grievance in her helpless expression. She shook her head. “I’m really fine!”At the same time, in the ward next door. Skyler had ordered Jim some food. Jim looked at him with a cheeky smile. “Didn’t you say you weren’t going to get me food?”Skyler gave him a cold look. “Do you think ordering delivery and bringing food are the same thi
When Skyler entered, he noticed Davis chatting with Jim.Lexie was surprised to see them. "You guys know each other?" Jim was delighted. "We not only know each other, but we're also old pals!" A look of surprise flashed across Lexie's cool face. At that moment, Davis noticed Skyler who had come in and immediately stood up. "President Moore!"Skyler looked at him indifferently. “We’re in a private setting, there’s no need to be so formal!”Jocelyn came in carrying the food. She walked past Skyler deliberately, keeping a certain distance from him as if he was some harmful gas.Skyler noticed her behavior, his gaze sunk but he said nothing.Jocelyn opened up the box. “Lexie, Davis, come eat!”Jim smiled as he opened his own. “Skyler, let us eat too!”The corners of Jocelyn’s lips twitched. She somehow found this scene a little weird. Instantly, the fragrance of the food wafted and filled the entire ward. Jim smiled as he looked at Davis. “Director Lang, I didn’t think tha
In the other ward, Jocelyn could not help frowning the moment the door closed. "What is Jim trying to do?"Lexie shook her head, not wanting to discuss the issue. "It’s nothing, he’s just cheeky. He’s no trouble. You should go back quickly, you still have to go to work tomorrow!"Jocelyn’s eyes shone. "All right then, you should get some rest. Call me if you need anything!"Lexie nodded. “Alright, I got it, hurry up and go!"Jocelyn walked out. The moment she closed the door, she noticed Skyler walking out from the ward next door. The two met gazes and then looked away at the same time.Jocelyn pinched her fingers. She did not even do anything wrong so why was she behaving like she was guilty or something?Thinking of this, she turned around and walked directly to the elevator as if there were no one else around.Skyler followed her without saying a word.The two entered the elevator at the same time. Jocelyn looked at the two silhouettes reflected on the elevator wall and fe
At the same time, the lamp at the head of the bed was switched on by the person standing beside the bed. Jocelyn looked at the man standing by the bed, startled. Her heartbeat went back to normal after a long time.She glared at the man who had appeared in her room in the middle of the night, expression ugly. "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"This feeling of shock in the middle of the night almost scared her silly.Skyler’s expression was unsmiling and he said nothing. Jocelyn had been scared out of her wits. Seeing that Skyler was not saying anything, she felt inevitably angrier. "Do you know that people can die from fright? Were you sleepwalking in the middle of the night?"Skyler looked at Jocelyn with a dark look.He knew that it was not right for him to suddenly appear in Jocelyn’s room in the middle of the night.However, he really could not sleep. He had taken a shower and went to bed early, but he just could not stand the smell so he got out of bed an
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
