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
Chapter 634Josie didn't expect this woman to be related to Jocelyn. She pretended she was surprised and exclaimed, "Prosperity Jewelry!"Elyse immediately lifted her chin. "Now you know who you've offended!"Josie immediately opened her handbag and took out a small purse. She emptied the purse, handed it to Elyse, and said, "This is the latest Gucci purse. I've only used it once. I'll give it to you as compensation, OK?"Josie put on a smile and watched Elyse's expression.Elyse's eyes lit up. She took the purse straight away. "You're not that stupid! All right! I'll take it. I forgive you! Now, excuse me!"Josie called out to her and asked with deliberate hesitation, "Is the CEO of Prosperity Jewelry really your niece's hunsband?"Looking at Josie's skeptical face, Elyse immediately frowned and asked, "What? You don't believe me?"Josie shook her head, "It's not that I don't believe you. But I am a designer for Prosperity Jewelry. I've known Mr. Moore for years. But I've neve
Chapter 635Hearing Elyse call his name, Skyler frowned. He didn’t have a good impression of Elyse. He wasn't interested in the people Elyse mentioned. After all, they didn't have any mutual friends.However, before Elyse could say anything more, a girl with a big smile on her face entered the room behind Elyse, and Jocelyn's face immediately froze.Skyler noticed Jocelyn froze, so he looked up.Immediately, his face darkened as well.Elyse didn't realize there was anything wrong. She smiled and asked Skyler and Jocelyn, "What? You guys don't know her?"Elyse believed that Josie must know Skyler and Jocelyn, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to come and meet them.But now, Elyse was confused.Before Jocelyn and Skyler could answer Elyse, Josie interjected with a smile, "Of course, they know me!Jocelyn didn't want her uncle to know what had happened between her and Josie before, so she introduced Fred in a cold voice, "Uncle, this is Josie from the design department of our com
Chapter 636Skyler gently held Jocelyn's hand under the table, calmly saying, "Mr. Cooke, Jocelyn and I do not have a good relationship with this woman. I don’t know why Mrs. Cooke brought such a person to disturb our dinner. I have lost my appetite. Another day, Jocelyn and I will treat you to dinner!" After hearing Skyler’s words, Fred looked at Josie's angry face and then saw her resentful gaze to Jocelyn. He stood up and nodded, "I don't want to eat either. Let's leave together." Elyse sat there until Jocelyn and Skyler left with Fred. She glared at Josie, "You didn't tell me that you have a bad relationship with them!" Josie replied, "You didn't ask me!" Elyse was mad, "You are hurting my relationship with them!" Marcelo, who had been staring at Josie and was reluctant to leave, could not help saying, "Mom, it is clearly Skyler who makes trouble for Miss Sonnet. How can you blame Miss Sonnet?" Elyse was so angry that she almost hit his son with the spoon, "You don’t
