Chapter 710At 7.00 p.m., the Sonnet family's villa's entrance was filled with luxury cars and celebrities.When Jocelyn and Skyler went over, Kallena and Zachariah had already arrived.Walter followed them quietly, looking very sad.Skyler took Jocelyn to greet his parents.However, Kallena, who always wanted her sons to come home and missed them, was cold to him and Jocelyn.Skyler was a little worried. "Mom, are you okay?"Kallena's face was expressionless, and her tone was nonchalant. "Of course."Jocelyn could see that Kallena was unhappy. She tugged at Skyler's sleeve and tried to smooth things over, "Hey, Kallena, Zachariah and Walter are waiting for you to hang around. Skyler and I will go and say hi to Marcel first." When Kallena heard Jocelyn's words, she sneered, "My son just said a few words to me, and you're taking him away. You don't want me to stay with my son, do you?"Jocelyn froze, and Skyler's face changed.Walter frowned and pulled Kallena's arm. "Mom, w
Chapter 711Jocelyn turned around and noticed that Serena was also here with her boyfriend, Aaron.On the stage, Marcel was introducing his long-lost daughter, Georgina, to the guests, while under the stage, Jocelyn turned to Serena, her brows furrowed and a confused look on her face, "Isn't Georgina 24 years old? But Uncle Marcel's daughter is 21!"Serena was good friends with Georgina, so she knew about it.Serena replied, "Georgina has been very smart since she was a child, so she changed her age by three years to go to school earlier. Actually, she is 21 years old. Are you surprised? I think it's not surprising. Don't you see that Georgina looks younger than her age?" Serena had a point. Georgina was a quiet, sweet girl with a baby face. She really didn't look 24 years old.Jocelyn used to think Georgina looked younger than her age, but she didn't think that was the case.Thinking about the last time being humiliated by Skyler and Jocelyn, Serena was not happy.However, wi
Chapter 712After introducing his daughter to the guests, Marcel took Georgina to meet some relatives.Snow was Marcel's adopted daughter. She should have helped entertain the guests at the party or at least followed Marcel around and introduced Georgina to the guests, but she didn't!Throughout the evening, she sat in a corner and watched the guests with somber eyes.Today Walter had told his mother that he would not marry Snow.Snow was completely desperate. And, what terrified her more was, she was under the threat of Rashad and his mother.Snow was afraid to go into the crowd. She was afraid that Caitlin would suddenly show up, come at her, and claim that she was Snow's mother.Then, even though she was still Marcel's adopted daughter, she would become the joke of the upper class in Mauve City.Halfway through the dinner, Rashad and Caitlin didn't show up, but Snow was still worried.Marcel brought Georgina to speak to Jocelyn, "Ms. White, it's my pleasure to have you here
Chapter 713At Jocelyn's words, Marcel showed a look of appreciation in his eyes. He nodded, "No wonder Skyler is so crazy about you. You are not only a smart girl but also a kind girl!"Jocelyn smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. I'll have someone bring Skyler's suit!"Marcel nodded. And then Skyler went to the lounge.Yale was waiting in the car. Jocelyn got out of the hall to call Yale. She asked him to bring Skyler's spare suit to the lounge.When Jocelyn returned to the party, she ran into Ilona, whom she hadn't seen in a while.Seeing Jocelyn, Ilona winked and greeted with a smile, "Jocelyn, it's good to see you here!"Jocelyn was surprised to receive such a warm greeting from Ilona. She nodded slightly and didn't say anything.However, as Ilona was walking past Jocelyn, Ilona whispered, "Jocelyn, can I talk to you for a minute?"Jocelyn stood still and looked calmly at Ilona. "Miss Yates, what do you want to talk to me about?"Ilona was holding a glass of champagne
Chapter 714Serena gave a smug smile, "Georgina is Marcel Sonnet's daughter, but you're only married to Skyler, so you rely on Skyler. When we have problems, Georgina is more helpful!"Jocelyn understood that Serena still resented her for what happened at the Jubilee Club.Jocelyn looked at Serena, confusion in her eyes, and asked, "Are you still mad about what happened at Jubilee Club?"Serena showed an awful face. "Why can't I be mad?"Jocelyn responded, "You can, but I have forgotten about it. Do you have anything else to talk to me about? If you don’t, excuse me!"Seeing Jocelyn act so indifferent, Serena was annoyed. However, she didn't dare to give Jocelyn any trouble. She was afraid of Skyler.Serena came to pick a fault with Jocelyn, but Jocelyn was not annoyed at all. Serena was irritated. She glared at her boyfriend to vent her anger.Jocelyn didn't like Serena, and they would never be friends.But Jocelyn was not bothered by Serena. As long as Serena didn't go too f
Chapter 715Skyler's face clouded over. "What century are we in now? Do we still have arranged marriages? Besides, I'm already married to Jocelyn. Please remember that!"Kallena tugged her hair back behind her ear and said in an indifferent voice, "I know you are married, but I don't like Jocelyn. When you got married, you didn't tell me or your father. Even though we had no say in your marriage, you should have let us know. You should have cared about our feelings!"Skyler asked in a grim voice, "But you liked Jocelyn before, didn't you?"Kallena grunted, "But I don't like her now!"Skyler's face grew darker, "Did you hear some rumors about her?"Kallena responded, without looking at Skyler, "No. I simply don't like her. I won't accept her if you must be with her!"Skyler snapped, "Jocelyn is the only woman I love and we're married. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her. If you don't accept her, that's fine!"Skyler then turned to leave.Kallena's face went purple w
Chapter 716After leaving the remark, Avery turned to leave.However, the beautiful woman he had just taunted spoke up.Jocelyn spoke in fluent French, "I heard earlier that all Foranee men were gentlemen, but after meeting you today, I am surprised. I see Foranee men are not all gentlemen. I really don't understand why you are taunting others to bring out yourself on such an occasion. I'm wondering, are you ignorant or just stupid? Sir, you’d better stay at home. Don't ruin the reputation of Foranee men!"Skyler came over. He was going to defend Jocelyn. He was surprised to hear Jocelyn speak such fluent French.Skyler's eyes lit up instantly.Jocelyn always surprised him whenever he felt he was so in love with her, which made him love her even more.Jocelyn was like a treasure and there was so much in her that he wanted to explore.Since Jocelyn could handle it herself, Skyler didn't say anything. He stood by silently and supported Jocelyn.Avery was surprised that Jocelyn c
Chapter 717Walter snapped, "You know what I'm talking about. That foreign guy is your friend. I saw you bring him in when the party started. Josie, don't deny it. I know more than you think I do. You thought Jocelyn couldn’t speak French, so you let your friend embarrass her. You wanted her to be humiliated in front of people. But you didn't expect her to speak fluent French!"Josie's face turned pale and she denied it bluntly, "Even if I knew Avery, so what? I had nothing to do with this. Please don't blame it on me, OK? Don’t forget. We have made a deal earlier to break up Jocelyn and Skyler. You will have Jocelyn, and I will have Skyler. What? Now you haven’t got Jocelyn, but you're starting to defend her?"Walter knew Josie wouldn’t admit it. He just wanted to give Josie a warning.Walter asked, "What do you think they are? Are there any objects that we can keep for ourselves? I'm out of my mind to have agreed with you. I'm not like you!"Walter couldn't bear to hurt Skyler a
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
