Chapter 516However, immediately afterward, Rhode's mother's scream rang out, and Rhode immediately became angry and hissed, "Enough! He just hit someone. We don't know what's going on yet. What are you making such a fuss about? Tell me where he is. I'll be right there!"Rhode's mother hurriedly replied, "I have the man's phone number. He said you must go there and beg him, and then he'll let your brother go!"Rhode had a sinking feeling after hearing her mother’s words. She demanded, "Send me the number!"Then Rhode hung up. She had a sullen face.Janae asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"Rhode shook her head, "It shouldn't be a big deal. My brother had a car accident."Janae wondered why Rhode looked so angry if it was no big deal.However, before she could ask Rhode, her phone rang.Janae picked up the phone. After a few seconds, her face went cloudy.She hung up the phone, hurriedly grabbed her bag, and rushed outside. In an anxious voice, she yelled, "Rhode, I'm leaving. So
Chapter 517Jude replied in an indifferent voice, "Well, Miss Ginn, you may keep waiting!"Then Jude hung up the phone straight away.Rhode stared at the phone in a daze. Her chest heaved violently.She suddenly grabbed her bag. 'No! I have to get out of here right now!'However, when she pulled open the door, she saw two strong bodyguards standing at the door, blocking her way.Rhode's face darkened. "Who are you guys? Why are you blocking my way?"One of them, an extraordinarily fierce-looking man, replied, "Miss Ginn, if you don't want to be tied up, stay quiet. Don't step outside the room!"Rhode subconsciously took a step back. Just then, her phone rang.Rhode closed the door and picked up the phone.It was her mother. The woman cried, "Rhode, did you offend someone? Your sisters both have lost their jobs, and one of your brothers-in-law is accused of accepting bribes. They said you had to settle things. Who did you offend? You're killing me!"Her mother's cries made he
Chapter 518Jocelyn walked to Skyler’s room and opened the door.Just as she entered the room, she saw the bathroom door open and Skyler was wiping his hair with a towel and walking out of the bathroom.A cloud of steam surrounded him, as if he had brought all the moisture out of the bathroom.Jocelyn's eyes couldn't help but fall on his well-lined abs.Jocelyn then realized that Skyler was only wearing a towel.She instantly blushed and turned around, her cheeks burning, "Why... Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"Skyler looked down at his body and laughed softly, "I'm wearing a bath towel! See?"Jocelyn felt so embarrassed. She snapped, "See it yourself!"Then Jocelyn was about to leave.Skyler hurriedly called out to her, "Jocelyn!"Jocelyn stopped in her tracks, her back facing him. She asked in a cold voice, "What do you want?"Skyler replied, a faint smile in his voice, "My arms are a little sore, and I'm tired. Would you mind blowing dry my hair?"Jocelyn was annoye
Chapter 519Jocelyn got so nervous that she immediately closed her eyes.Skyler's kiss was extremely tender.Jocelyn clutched her shirt tightly. Her heart flipped. Her anger was gone.She felt like a balloon full of air. When Skyler gently poked it, it immediately ran out of air.Skyler kissed her so tenderly. She couldn't be angry with him.Skyler enjoyed kissing her.Jocelyn was motionless. She sat quietly in his arms and let him kiss her face.Later, however, Skyler's kiss landed on her lips, and he would not move his lips.Jocelyn blushed and averted her head. She opened her eyes to look at him.Looking into Jocelyn's clear eyes, Skyler kissed Jocelyn's lips passionately. With a smile in his voice, he said, "Baby, your lips taste sweet!"Skyler leaned in and tried to continue kissing her lips.Jocelyn flushed. She hurriedly reached up against his chest, "No, you have to stop! My lips are going to be swollen. How am I going to go out later?"At Jocelyn's words, Skyler i
Chapter 520Skyler's face changed color slightly. He was surprised that Rhode knew Jocelyn was married to him.But it didn't matter. Anyway, only Jocelyn could be his wife! Since he and Jocelyn were already together, he didn't want to hide their relationship.Hearing Rhode's words, Skyler's handsome face darkened. He was so shocked that Rhode could say such words at that moment.‘To such a selfish woman like Rhode, Jocelyn's reputation means nothing to her. That woman only cares about her own life.'Skyler didn't want to waste his time lecturing such a selfish woman.He said bluntly, "If you don't apologize publicly to Jocelyn, your family is going down with you!"Then Skyler hung up the phone.Even if Rhode didn't tell the truth, there was still Janae. Skyler wasn't worried about them keeping their mouths shut. He had plenty of ways to get them to tell the truth.Since they used such dirty tricks against Jocelyn, Skyler wouldn't take it easy on them!Jocelyn watched Skyler q
Chapter 521After dinner, Skyler and Jocelyn were watching TV on the couch.Whitie was nestled cozily next to Jocelyn, making steady snoring sounds.Jocelyn didn't sleep well last night because of the news on the internet. Now she was sleepy while she was watching TV.She was stroking Whitie. However, slowly, her eyes closed, and her hands became motionless. Skyler found it adorable and funny.He chuckled, pinched Jocelyn's cheeks, and whispered, "You're tired. Go to sleep!"Jocelyn lazily opened her eyes and muttered, "Oh, I fell asleep!"Skyler nodded, affection and tenderness in his eyes, "Yes. You leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep!"Jocelyn curled her lips. "I'm going to bed. Good night!" Then she was about to get off the couch.However, before she could sit up, Skyler suddenly got up and carried her up in his arms.Immediately, Jocelyn woke up. She clutched Skyler's shoulders and asked nervously, "What... What are you doing?"Skyler kissed her on the cheek and repli
Chapter 522Jocelyn did not sleep well at night, while Skyler slept well.Skyler had worked day and night continuously for the previous few days. He barely slept. And he had settled things for Jocelyn. He would wait to see how things would be tomorrow.The next morning, when Skyler woke up, it was 7:50.When he grabbed his phone, he saw a message from Jude.Jude, [Mr. Moore, we will start at 8 o'clock. Is that okay?]Skyler, [Okay! Post the video at 8 o'clock!]Jude, [Yes, Mr. Moore!]Then Skyler got up and went to the bathroom.Just after Skyler turned on the shower after brushing his teeth, he heard his door open, and Jocelyn knocked hastily on the bathroom door.Skyler turned off the water and asked, "What's up, baby?"Jocelyn sounded surprised, "Is the matter going to be clear today?"She had just seen Leticia and Cael's photos on the Internet. All those were original photos.Then, Cael posted an apology video.Jocelyn was not a fool. She knew Cael's apology video wou
Chapter 523Although Cael's video was only a few minutes, it had stirred up a storm on the Internet.People began to discuss on the Internet."He said the woman in the photo was not Jocelyn. I don't believe him!" "I agree with you. Jocelyn must have paid him to post this video!""Yeah! I won't believe it!"...People didn't believe Cael. they thought Jocelyn had paid Cael, so he spoke up for Jocelyn and posted the video.Then right after that, an influencer named Leticia posted a video.In the video, Leticia had a face that resembled Jocelyn's so much. She sat in front of the camera and said, "Good morning, everyone. I'm Leticia. I'm the girl in the photos. I look a lot like Miss White, but I didn't know that before. A few days ago, someone approached me and said she could pay me a lot of money if I took a few pictures. It was a lot of money, so I didn't even think about it and just said yes!""However, when I saw the agreement, I learned that I would have to get my teeth pu
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
