Chapter 684Lexie was still burning with rage, while Jim felt guilty and helpless.Skyler just remained silent and stayed at Jim's side.After sitting for half an hour or so, Jing suddenly stood up.Skyler had just begun to unbutton his shirt. He got fright by Jim's reaction, and his hands froze in mid-air. "What's the matter?"Jim looked very gloomy. "Nothing. I'm going out now!"Skyler had a hunch that something was wrong with Jim. He took Jim's arm and asked, "What are you going to do?"Jim said to him straightforwardly, "Go kill Gill!"Skyler's face changed, and he snapped with a grim look, "Are you fucking crazy?"Jim smiled, "Yes, I am crazy, and this is unavoidable tonight. If Lexie agrees to my confession, I will definitely be overjoyed. Unfortunately, Gill ruined everything, and I am completely mad at her now!"After saying that, Jim turned to go.Skyler grabbed his arm tightly, and his face turned livid with anger. "Be reasonable, Jim. It's not worth committing cri
Chapter 685Jocelyn felt sorry for Lexie and sympathized with Jim, but she was helpless. After all, she was just an outsider and couldn't fully understand their feelings.After lying in the intensive care unit for a whole day, Davis was finally out of danger, and he was transferred to the general ward the next day.When Jocelyn went to the ward to visit him, Lexie was taking care of him. Their mode of getting along with each other was somehow similar to that when they first met in college.Jim didn't appear again after he left the hospital that night. However, Skyler kept updating him about the latest situation at the hospital.Actually, Skyler was also worried about Jim’s relationship with Lexie. As long as Davis was still alive, Jim might have a chance to get back together with Lexie.Now he hoped that Davis could recover as soon as possible.Skyler found someone to temporarily take Davis' position as the design director, and he promised Davis that he could resume his work aft
Chapter 686Seeing Walter sad, Skyler had a somewhat complicated feeling. "Thank you for letting it go."Walter chuckled in self-deprecation, "What else can I do? Jocelyn doesn't like me anymore. I was immersed in the dream from two years ago, refusing to wake up and almost losing my brother."Skyler pursed his lips. "Actually... I envy you too!"Walter laughed and turned to look at him with sadness. "Why do you envy me?"He lost the person he liked. What was so good about him to be envied by others?Skyler looked serious. "You accompanied Jocelyn through her most difficult five years. She told me no matter what you did, she couldn't blame you. You are her family who has been protecting her. She will never forget how good you are to her."Walter smiled, his eyes wet. "That's enough!"He now found that it was a good thing to just silently like Jocelyn and calmly watch her be happy with Skyler.At this time, a car suddenly drove into the villa.Skyler and Walter saw the headlig
Chapter 687Zachariah was a little surprised to hear this. "Which daughter?"Kallena rolled her eyes at him. "Of course, it is Raina's daughter. I plan to meet that girl. I have a good relationship with her mother, so I want to be good to her. I just don't know when Raina will come back. She must be happy to find her daughter."Hearing this, Snow instantly stiffened her face. " Kallena, what did you say?"Snow hadn't been back to the Sonnet family's house recently, and no one had told her about this at all.When Kallena heard Snow say this, Kallena silently cursed herself for being careless enough to blurt it out at the dinner table.As Raina's best friend, Kallena was very delighted that Raina's daughter had been found, but Snow was Marcel's adopted daughter and Kallena's future daughter-in-law, so Kallena had to pay attention to it.Kallena smiled a little unnaturally, "I do not know if it is true. I heard a few friends chatting about it. It seems that there is such a thing. Y
Chapter 688Walter did not love her. Then would it be more convenient for him to call off their engagement?Snow stared at the villa gate for a long time, but she finally turned the car around and left.On the way home, she wanted to call Marcel to ask him about the situation.But in the end, she gave up.Snow drove to her place, got out of the car, and went upstairs.She had just stepped out of the elevator when two figures suddenly rushed out and grabbed her by the arm and legs.Snow was taken aback and didn't think before trying to shake them off.However, they held her tightly and did not let go.The one holding her arm was a young man, and the other holding her legs was a middle-aged woman.Snow was terrified. "Who are you? Hurry up and let go of me. Or I will call the police right now!"Snow had just finished her words when the woman holding her thighs cried, "Don't call the police. I am your mother!"Snow had been stimulated tonight by the news that Marcel had found
Chapter 689Snow flipped through the paternity test results in her hand, and when she saw the mother-daughter relationship at the end, she only felt it very annoying. "Even if it's true, so what? I was raised by the Sonnet family. I am the Sonnet family's young miss. I'm grateful to them rather than you. You abandoned me when I was a child, so why did you come here now and pretend to care?"After that, she said mockingly, "I'm afraid you're here because of my identity as the Sonnet family's daughter!"Rashad and Caitlin's faces turned pale.Caitlin sobbed, "Child, how could you say that about your mother?"Rashad sulked without denying that they came for Snow's identity. He only said, "Even so, Mom gave birth to you. You should be thankful to her. You can't be so cold to her."Snow was already annoyed and flustered. She didn't bother to talk to them. "Tell me what you want to do."Rashad's eyes gleamed. "Actually, we were forced to find you. Something happened to my fourth siste
Chapter 690Rashad blinked. "Then how can we know if you're thinking about it or not?"Snow glared at Rashad, her eyes fierce. "Don't push me again."Rashad was shocked by her look. He subconsciously grabbed Caitlin's arm and looked nervously at Snow. "Why are you so aggressive? I'm telling the truth. Why not give me your phone number so that I can at least often ask you about the progress of this matter?"Snow lowered her head, picked up a note, quickly wrote down her cell phone number, and said sullenly, "Take it and get out!"Rashad was completely indifferent to Snow's attitude. Although he was a little afraid of her, she had agreed to help them, so he dragged Caitlin and cheerfully left.As soon as they left, Snow felt that she had lost all her strength instantly. She collapsed on the sofa with exhaustion, her eyes a little red.Why were there such shameless people in the world? They abandoned her and wanted to suck her dry.She must find a way to get rid of these two peopl
Chapter 691Seeing Jocelyn's furrowed brows, Skyler reached out and smoothed them as he said, "Don't worry. It’s not our business. Jim will take care of it!"At Skyler's words, Jocelyn sighed again. She leaned back against the couch, remaining silent.Skyler reached out and took her in his arms. "Why do you have so many things on your mind? Things will work out anyway. You shouldn't be worrying about such things. Right now, you should be focusing on the International Contest!"Immediately, Jocelyn's eyes lit up. "... Do I have a chance?"Skyler chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Of course! My baby is the best! Believe in yourself! The company has been preparing for you. All you need do is to draw the perfect design. That's all!"Jocelyn then talked with Skyler about the contest for a while, and she was in a much better mood....Jim went to Claude Hospital. When he stepped out of the elevator, he had a sullen face and a somber air.He walked quickly toward Davis's room. But as he
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
