Chapter 626Marcelo's eyes sparkled, "It’s a lucrative business!"Jocelyn was embarrassed by Marcelo's enthusiasm. "Just fine!"The smile on Marcelo's face faded a bit, but the excitement was still in his eyes. "You are too modest!"Jocelyn smiled and didn't say anything.Fred coughed and called out, "Marcelo!"Marcelo frowned at his father, "What's wrong?"Fred demanded, "Go ask your mother if dinner is ready."Fred was obviously trying to send Marcelo away, but Marcelo didn't get it. He argued, "We are not living in a villa. Ask loudly and Mom will hear you. Do I need to go to her?"Then Marcelo asked aloud, "Mom, is lunch ready? I'm hungry!"Elyse replied cheerfully, "Wait a minute! Lunch will be ready soon!"Marcelo gave a smug smile. "Dad, did you hear that? Lunch is almost ready!"Fred shook his head and didn't say anything.Suddenly, Marcelo picked up a magazine and showed it to Jocelyn. "Since you are a jewelry designer and your husband is in the jewelry business.
Chapter 627Just before Jocelyn was about to say something, Elyse called out to her and Fred for lunch.Fred came back to his senses. He told Jocelyn, "Let's have lunch first. We'll talk about it later!"Jocelyn nodded. Then she followed Fred to the dining room.Elyse was a good cook. During the meal, Marcelo didn't ask her more questions, so Jocelyn was in a peaceful mood during the meal.However, before they almost finished lunch, Jocelyn noticed Elyse nudge Fred with her elbow.Fred's brows were tightly furrowed, but he didn't say anything.Elyse's face darkened. Since her husband was ignoring her, she asked Jocelyn herself, "Jocelyn, I heard you were married. Is it true?"Jocelyn nodded, "Yes, I got married five months ago."Elyse frowned, "You've been married for five months. Why didn't you tell us?"Jocelyn frowned. Then she put her fork down, changed into a peaceful expression, and looked at Elyse.Fred got angry and hissed, "I told you Jocelyn got married for the sak
Chapter 628 Jocelyn replied, "Just normal!"Elyse asked again, "Even if the salary is normal, the prize money you won from the competitions should be quite a lot!"Hearing Elyse's words, Jocelyn had a sinking feeling. She frowned and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean?"Elyse immediately smiled and waved her hand, "Oh, I didn't mean anything. Don't lie to me. I've seen on the Internet that you won quite a few prizes in those competitions!"Jocelyn's face completely darkened, "So what?"Elyse looked at Jocelyn with a smirk, "Marcelo has started his own business lately. I don't think you need that much money, and it's not safe to have so much money in your hands. Why don't you give Marcel a hand? And Marcel wants to get into the jewelry business too. You can help him then!"Elyse sounded like she was pretty sure Jocelyn would agree.However, Jocelyn asked in a chill voice, "Why isn't the money safe in my hands?"Elyse played numb. "Jocelyn, Marcelo is your cousin after all. At th
Chapter 629Fred stared at Elyse with a grim face. "Are you happy now? I told you not to ask Jocelyn to lend money to Marcelo. She has worked hard to earn the money. You have nothing to do with it. How did you take care of Jocelyn after Grace died? Tell me!"Elyse glared at Fred. "Even though I didn't take care of her, I'm her aunt. Was I wrong to ask her to lend some money to Marcelo? She's a girl. What does she need so much money for? She doesn't have any other brothers. Shouldn't she help Marcelo out?"Fred’s face reddened with anger. He argued, "Elyse, don't be so greedy! Don't plan on Jocelyn's money!"Abruptly, Marcelo stood up. He swept his plate to the floor and yelled, "That's enough! Why are you quarrelling over Jocelyn? If she won't lend me the money, that's fine! I can start my business without her help!" After that, Marcelo swept out of the dining room in a rage.Jocelyn was a kind girl after all. After coming downstairs, she felt regret. She was worried that Elyse w
Chapter 630Such a surprise cheered Jocelyn up.She reached out and threw her arms around Skyler's neck and whispered, "I'm so happy you're back! I'm so surprised! Weren't you supposed to come back tomorrow?"Skyler smiled tenderly. He pressed his forehead against Jocelyn's and said, "Yeah, I was supposed to come back tomorrow, but I finished what I hve to do tomorrow today and left the rest to Yale. He didn't come back with me. I miss you so much! I can't wait to see you!"Jocelyn immediately blushed. "Do you miss me so much?"Skyler stared into Jocelyn's eyes, his eyes so deep they seemed to drown Jocelyn. "What do you think?"Jocelyn was entranced in Skyler's gaze, and Skyler looked down and started kissing her.Jocelyn had always been shy. When she realized Skyler was carrying her upstairs, her face blushed more. "What are you doing?"Skyler whispered something in her ear, and Jocelyn pushed his chest and complained, "It's daytime!"Skyler gave a wicked smile and said in a
Chapter 631Jocelyn replied in a muffled voice, "It’s nothing. Forget about it!"Skyler frowned. He still wanted to ask. But Jocelyn changed the subject, "Skyler, I'm hungry, very, very hungry. Let's go downstairs for dinner!"Skyler shook his head resignedly and kissed her ear. "OK. Let's go downstairs for dinner!"During the meal, Jocelyn tried to find something to talk about to make Skyler forget about the previous topic.Just after they finished eating, Jocelyn's cell phone rang.It was Jocelyn's uncle. Jocelyn hesitated for two seconds, but she answered it anyway.However, after Jocelyn picked it up, she found on the other end of the line, it was not her uncle, but her aunt, Elyse.Elyse sounded as if she had completely forgotten the unpleasant lunch. She asked with laughter, "Jocelyn, have you had dinner yet?"Jocelyn was confused, and she frowned, "Yes, I had. What's the matter?"Elyse laughed cheerfully, "Here's the thing. I heard from your uncle that you wanted to i
Chapter 632Skyler was much more sophisticated than Jocelyn, and he had dealt with more unpleasant things.He reached out, rubbed Jocelyn's hair, and whispered, "Since you don't like her, don't talk to her. She invited us to lunch. Do you want to go?"Jocelyn blinked. She looked at Skyler and replied, "I don't want to go. But I don't want to embarrass my uncle!"Skyler's eyes clouded over. "Then we'll go. I can use this opportunity to talk to your aunt! She shouldn't ask so much from you!"Jocelyn hesitated, but finally, she nodded, "Okay. I'll tell Elyse we'll have lunch with them tomorrow!"Skyler nodded and didn't say anything else....The next day, when Jocelyn and Skyler arrived at Seashore Restaurant, the Cooke family was already there.When Jocelyn and Skyler entered the restaurant, Elyse immediately gave a bright smile, "Jocelyn, finally you're here! Come on over here!"Elyse was beaming with joy. She had never imagined that one day their family would be related to S
Chapter 633Marcelo's face looked sullen. He exclaimed in disappointment, "What? Just a junior clerk?!"Skyler's eyes cooled, and he asked rhetorically, "What else? If I offered you a manager's position, would you be up to it?"Marcelo's face reddened. "I'm not that ambitious. I'm just wondering if the junior position is too low for me."Skyler glanced at him nonchalantly and sneered, "So many people want to join Prosperity Jewelry every year! I didn't realize you thought a junior position was too low for you. I've heard... you don't know much about the jewelry business, so I can't appoint you as a supervisor. You can't win the support of your team members. That would affect the company’s operations. Can you take responsibility?"Marcelo had nothing to say, so he remained silent.Elyse was worried that Marcelo had offended Skyler, so she frowned at Marcelo and scolded, "You stupid boy! You should be grateful to Mr. Moore for giving you a job. How can you ask for anything else? Mr
