After he said that, Skyler strode towards the stairs with a sullen face.Yvonne also quickly followed.Jocelyn and Abel did not even have time to go downstairs, and the four of them looked at each other.Abel was laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes.Jocelyn just felt an awkwardness in the air.An imperceptible embarrassment flashed across Skyler's face and his handsome face was extremely dark.Jocelyn was afraid that he would get mad, so she directly pushed the blame to someone else. “I just came back from buying food for Lexie and I was forcefully dragged up here by Abel.”After she said that, she saw that Skyler’s expression looked even more unpleasant.She quickly added, “I didn't hear anything!”After she finished speaking, Abel burst out laughing.He held the wall with one hand and his forehead with the other. “Oh, I'm so sorry, I can't help it, it's so funny!”Jocelyn was speechless. ‘Can you laugh more exaggeratedly?’After he said this, he started under
Jocelyn's eyes twinkled and she looked at him neither obsequiously nor superciliously.She saw the wrapper of mint candies on the coffee table at a glance.At this moment, she thought of the funny scene in the afternoon when there were pieces of mint candy wrappers at Skyler's feet and she could not help herself from wanting to laugh.She had heard from the housekeeper that Skyler liked to eat mint candies with wrappers so that he could enjoy the process of peeling them off.Although she did not know what hobby this was, she always felt that this cold man had an inexplicably adorable contrast when it came to eating candy.However, right now, seeing that Skyler was in a bad mood, she forcibly held back her laughter.Skyler looked at Jocelyn and said nothing.Jocelyn stood there for two seconds, and when she saw that Skyler was not speaking, she planned to go upstairs directly.As a result, she only took two steps when she heard Skyler's voice. She could not tell how he was feeli
Skyler’s face was even darker now. He only felt a fire burning in his heart. No one had ever made him lose control like this.Jocelyn had the upper hand now and it made him look like he was the pestering one. This feeling was so horrible.His words were filled with emotions. “Whatever.”Jocelyn looked at him. “President Moore, is there anything else? If not, I’m going upstairs to rest.”Skyler’s eyes darkened. “I don’t care where you sleep. However, did you forget the agreement from when we got our marriage certificate?”Jocelyn’s expression changed. She stared at Skyler and her voice was stiff. “President Moore, if you want me to carry out my duties as a wife, you can call me into the master bedroom or you can come to the guest room.”Skyler chuckled in his heart. She was planning to play according to the official principles now.His tone was so cold that it was terrifying. “You’re the one who said this.”Jocelyn looked at him, neither obsequious nor supercilious. “I said that
Jocelyn stared at Skyler, her eyes widened and her jaw on the floor. She did not know what words she could use to describe how she was feeling right now.However, after Skyler said that, he did not give her a chance to speak before he turned around to leave.After gaining the upper hand, Skyler’s footsteps felt much lighter.Jocelyn stared at Skyler's back, unable to explain how she was feeling.She never expected that Skyler would use what she said downstairs just now to fight back against her.How could there be such a vengeful man?Jocelyn cursed in her heart, ‘Skyler, you mutt!’Then, she huffed in anger and slammed the door shut before going back to the bathroom to continue her shower.She should not open the door for this person while she was in the shower.Skyler had his things in his hands and he went back to the master bedroom. Soon, he realized his behavior just now was a little childish.However, he had to admit that he did feel much better after saying that.Yet,
Jocelyn was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise as she watched Abel approaching her, his purple earrings gleaming in the sunlight.He then stood directly next to Jocelyn.Lily frowned, her eyes a little dazed. “Who are you?”Abel lifted the corners of his lips and smiled, but his tone was a little aggressive. “I am just an enthusiastic citizen and I just came to watch. Why? Do you have a problem with that?”Lily shook her head.Abel took a step forward, raised his voice, and said in a disdainful tone, “Lily, stop putting on a show in front of reporters. Are you not done with this kind of dirty trick when you’re trying to fake your suicide?”Lily took a step back subconsciously and shook her head helplessly. “I didn't!”Abel looked at her mockingly. “If I kill you and apologize to your corpse, will you forgive me?”Lily's eyes widened and she looked very pitiful. “How can you say that?”Abel disagreed. “Then how can you do this? You also know that not all people
Jocelyn turned around immediately and caught sight of Skyler protecting her behind his back. He then cast an icy look at Abel.Abel did not let go of Jocelyn’s arm.Abel was stunned when he noticed Skyler. He then scoffed, “Moore the Second, why are you involved in everything? Does my relationship with Lil Sis have anything to do with you?” Skyler cast a hateful glance at Abel’s hand on Jocelyn’s arm. “Let go of her!” Abel’s smile faded. “What if I don’t let go of her?” Skyler grabbed Jocelyn’s other arm. “Don’t blame me for what I’ll do to you!” Abel looked at him in a nonchalant manner. “Really? I’d like to see what you’d do to me!” Skyler’s oppressive aura heightened as he reached out to grab the hand that Abel had wrapped around Jocelyn’s arm. He then tried to pry his hand off her. Some reporters looked over when they noticed the tension between the two of them.Jocelyn frowned and said, “Both of you are hurting my arms!”Both men instantly let go of her arms.
Jocelyn frowned and glanced at her phone screen. The call was from Lexie. She glanced at Zayn in the guest room through the glass door. Zayn just happened to look over as well. Jocelyn pointed at her phone and gestured that she had to pick up the phone. Zayn nodded with a smile.Jocelyn took her phone out and picked it up. “Hello!” “Jocelyn, I plan to get discharged today. Anyways, I can just heal from my broken arm at home!” Lexie said in a cold voice. However, the tone of her voice was tinged with rage. Jocelyn frowned. “Did something happen to you?” Lexie had no intentions to hide anything from Jocelyn as well. She told her the truth. “Jim Rand keeps pestering me. I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore!” Jocelyn instantly understood what had happened. She had been to the hospital a few times. She could tell that Jim kept visiting Lexie’s room as well. Regardless of whether he really liked Lexie, or he was just being playful, Lexie liked someone else. Sh
Skyler’s expression darkened slightly.They were married. How could she refer to their place as someone else’s place? Did he mistreat Jocelyn in any way? Why was she acting so cautiously in front of everyone? Jim blinked and looked at Skyler instinctively. There was a teasing gaze in his eyes. He seemed to be asking if he had mistreated Jocelyn in any way. Skyler glanced at her and shook his head, gesturing for him not to say anything. Lexie knew that Jocelyn and Skyler were married on paper. She understood what Jocelyn meant. She knew that Jocelyn liked cats. In the past, Michael banned her from having pets since Lily was allergic to animal fur. She spoke up, “Jocelyn, I’ll rear it at my place. You can fetch it over when you get a permanent place to stay in the future!” Jocelyn raised her head and glanced at Lexie, who was standing by her side. Her gaze landed on her arm. “You’re injured! It’s not convenient for you to take care of it!”Zayn spoke up at the right ti
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
