Chapter 656Lily compressed her lips, nodded, and started shelling a crab.Josie said in a low voice, "I heard that Jocelyn accused you of copying her designs. Was that true?"Immediately, Lily stopped shelling the crab, and the smile on her face was gone. "Miss Sonnet, what do you mean?"Josie smiled, "Don't get me wrong! You probably haven’t heard that I was accused of stealing her designs and kicked out of Prosperity Jewelry too!"Lily's eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed, "What? Why?"Josie gave a bitter smile, "Well, actually, you didn't know, with Skyler’s protection, Jocelyn is now extremely arrogant! She doesn't show me any respect. I came across such a situation just after I came back home. I’m really..."Lily showed a worried face. "How dare she do that to you? Isn't your family in the jewelry business too?"Josie feigned a miserable face. "But I embarrassed my family this time, and they are all very angry with me. I feel ashamed of myself, too. Actually, I was
Chapter 657Lily was outraged at the thought of Jocelyn growing up in her family. "Damn it! She's an ungrateful bitch! My father brought her up. Even though she's not my father's daughter, she shouldn't have done that to our family! I don't understand why she let Skyler jeopardize our family's business!"Listening to Lily's complaints, Josie grew impatient and asked, "If she's not your father's daughter, why did your father raise her?"Actually, Michael didn't tell Lily and Yennis about Jocelyn's story until Skyler started targeting the White family.Lily tightened her face and said to Josie, "Promise me you will never let Skyler know that I tell you about Jocelyn!"Josie immediately made a gesture of zipping her lips. "Don't worry. Trust me! I won't say a word!"Lily then began to tell Jocelyn's story. "I heard it from my dad. Jocelyn's mother picked up a baby from the roof of the hospital building. It was winter. The baby was almost frozen to death. Jocelyn's mother kept it fro
Chapter 658Gill and Lexy were both Jim's ex-girlfriends but, strangely, the two were good friends.The other day, Lexie bumped into the two in the parking lot after having dinner at the Moon Restaurant.Lexie's face darkened and she hissed to Lexy, "Let go of my arm!"Lexy frowned and gave a sullen look, "Who are you talking to? Do you know where you are? You hit my friend just now. Shouldn’t you apologize to her?"Lexie retorted, "If you can't understand me, then I'm talking to a dog!"Lexie then bluntly shook Lexy's arm off and turned to leave.However, just before she was able to leave, Gill blocked her path.Gill looked at Lexie with grave eyes and spat, "You bumped me!"Lexie frowned, "I'm sorry. All right?"Obviously, Gill was making trouble with Lexie and she sneered, "That's how you apologize?"Lexie stared at Gill with a cold face, "What do you want?"Gill asked as she tugged her hair behind her ear, "Do you know where you are?"Lexie became impatient and spat, "A
Chapter 659Lexie was a hacker. In the cyber world, she was a heroine. But in the real world, she was a vulnerable girl. She couldn't fight like Jocelyn.Lexie was angry because she was slapped by Gill on the face and blocked in the hallway.Lexie stood there in silence. She looked miserable.Jocelyn frowned at her phone in the private room, "Why isn't Lexie here yet? She just told me she was here!"Jim was a little worried, "Call her again!"Jocelyn frowned, "I'll go find her!"Jim was desperate to see Lexie, so he said, "Let's go meet her together. We're all done eating. Let’s wait for Lexy in the lobby. Then we'll go to the Jubilee Club together!"Jocelyn agreed. The three then went out of the room.The security guards were quickly called over by the manager.Gill instructed, "Take this woman to an empty room!"The manager hesitated, "Miss Valo, is this okay? She's our guest."Gill snapped, "I hate her. Are you going to disobey me?"The manager hurriedly shook his head,
Chapter 660Abruptly, Gill explained timidly, "Jim... It's not... It's not like what you see."Jocelyn turned her head to Jim and asked in shock, "Jim, you know her?"Lexie took Jocelyn's arm and turned to Jim. The sorrow and tears in her eyes were gone.She snapped in a calm voice as if nothing had happened, "They're both Jim's ex-girlfriends!"Jocelyn's eyes widened, "Really?"Jim stared at Lexie with concern and called out, "Lexie!"Immediately, however, Lexy's eyes widened in surprise and she walked quickly toward Jim. "Jim, what’s up?"Immediately, it dawned on Jocelyn that the two women were both Jim's ex-girlfriends. She had underestimated Jim before.Jim didn't expect Lexy to think he was calling her when he called Lexie.His face clouded over. "I’m not calling you. Get the hell away from me, Lexy!"Jocelyn said sarcastically, "Jim, I'm surprised to see your ex-girlfriends getting along so well! You shouldn't have asked me to talk to Lexie today. What is your plan? D
Chapter 661Gill had known Jim for many years. She knew that Jim loved to help his friends. He was a trustworthy friend, but he was not a good choice as a boyfriend. He never committed to a serious relationship and was always fooling around. Even so, Gill fell in love with Jim badly!She knew him well and loved him, so she knew that he rarely lost his temper, but when he did, it was frightening.Gill hunched in fear and hurriedly explained, "Jim, I didn't mean to do it. She... She bumped into me, but she wouldn't apologize, and she insulted me! You may ask Lexy about it!"Lexy immediately nodded, "Yes, she bumped into Gill and called our names. She was beyond the boundary. Otherwise, Gill wouldn't have invited her into the room!"Hearing what Gill and Lexy said, Jocelyn got angry. "That's how you invite people? You asked the security guards to drag her into the room!"Lexy glanced at Jocelyn and then immediately lowered her head. She just saw how Jocelyn fought and was very sca
Chapter 662As Jim spoke with his assistant, he cast a cold glance at Gill.Gill didn't dare to say anything. Tears streamed down her cheeks.If it were before, Jim would have gone soft on her tears. But now, all he cared about was Lexie.Jim hung up the phone and turned to Gill, "Did you hear me? Soon... Moon Restaurant will be mine. If you dare to stir up things again here, I won't take it easy on you!"Gill nodded in a hurry, "Jim, it’s all my fault. Please don't involve my family!"Jim sneered, "I will only purchase the restaurant this time. And you need to apologize to Lexie. After that, get the hell out of here!"At Jim's words, Gill gave an embarrassed look.Jim asked her to apologize to the woman she hated. Obviously, she didn't want to, but she had no choice. If she didn't apologize to Lexie, she couldn't leave the restaurant today, and her family would be affected too.After a moment of consideration, Gill bowed her head and apologized awkwardly, "Miss Lane, I'm sorr
Chapter 663Lexie was okay. If it had been Jocelyn, she would have been even angrier.Jocelyn glanced at Jim and said, "You guys can talk about it later. That's enough for today! Let's go home, OK?"Jim agreed, "OK, I'll drive Lexie home!"Lexie refused, "No, Jocelyn will drive me!"Lexie then stood up and was about to go. Jim got anxious. "Lexie, I really want to explain to you. Can you give me some time?"Lexie looked at him and asked rhetorically, "Give you some time for what? So you can introduce all your ex-girlfriends to me? I'm sorry. I don't have time. Also, I'm very busy these days. Don't bother me or my friends. There's nothing between you and me, right?"At Lexie's words, Jim's face immediately clouded over. He asked, "You think there's nothing between you and me?"Lexie raised her eyebrows, "Or what else?"Jim gave a sullen look and stared at Lexie, his voice sarcastic, "OK. No problem. You're right. You're always right. If you want to leave, go ahead. And then we'
