Chapter 719Jocelyn chuckled, "Are you going to hear it or not?"Skyler smiled, tenderness in his voice. "Yes. Please go on!""I think French is romantic, so I want to learn it. Walter happened to be able to speak French, so he taught me. When I was in high school, I could speak simple French, and Walter and I often talked to each other in French. When I was in college, I had a part-time job translating some documents into French. When I did the translation, I looked up a lot of information and vocabulary, so my French improved even more!"At Jocelyn's words, Josie clenched her hands. ‘No wonder Jocelyn is so fluent in French! That's it! I'll be more careful with her in the future. '"You are incredible!" Skyler exclaimed with pride."Yes, few women are as smart and hardworking as I am. You must hold on to me!"Skyler laughed. "I'll never let you go!"Suddenly, Skyler complained, "Baby, but I'm jealous!"Jocelyn chuckled. "I didn't want to tell you. I knew you'd be jealous, bu
Chapter 720Yet not surprisingly, Walter rejected her with no expression on his face, "But I don't love you. I'm sorry!"Marcel's face clouded over. "That’s enough! Snow, I have told you that a decent person never gets behind people's backs since you were small. Do you even remember my words?"Snow burst into tears. She had shed the most tears in the last few days since she was a little girl.She looked at Marcel with tears in her eyes and yelled, "If I don't love him, I will never do that!"However, Walter was determined. "Uncle Marcel, the engagement was made between you and my parents. My parents told me that if I were to break it off, I would have to take responsibility and come to you personally to apologize. I'm sorry. I can't marry Snow. I hope you can understand!"Walter was sincere, and Marcel knew the young man was a man of integrity, so he didn't give Walter a hard time.Marcel nodded, "All right, I understand. The engagement is off!"Walter nodded with gratitude, "T
Chapter 721Marcel didn't expect Snow to ask him such a question.Thinking of his love for Georgina, he thought that Snow's parents would have the same feelings as him. "If they go to look for you, it must be because they love you. As for why they abandoned you, they must have their own difficulties. No parents have the heart to abandon their children!"Snow laughed at herself and said, "No parents have the heart to abandon their children? It's because you haven't seen that!"Marcel frowned. "What has happened to you? Even if you can't be with Walter, I will find a man you like and worthy of you!"At that time, Georgina suddenly went downstairs. "Dad, Snow, what are you talking about?"Snow stood up immediately. Thinking that she was in a sorry state, she rushed to the restroom on the first floor. "Dad, I would like to touch up my foundation!"After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry.When she arrived at the restroom and thought of Marcel's words, she knew that Marcel w
Chapter 722"What are you doing? How can you throw so many fruits away? You're too wasteful! After you get married, you won't be a good wife!"Jocelyn was surprised but didn't take it seriously.However, when she stepped forward, she heard Lexie's cold voice. "I throw those grapes away because they've rotted and are inedible. I know that I'm a big spender and won't be a good wife. Thus, I won't marry Davis. Don't worry!"After Jocelyn heard that, her face was overcast with anger.Undoubtedly, the woman, who was scolding Lexie, was Davis' mother.Jocelyn couldn't help but clench her fists. She even had the impulse to beat Davis' mother up!But Jocelyn couldn't. After all, Davis' mother was an elder. Jocelyn couldn't act recklessly, but she still felt angry that Lexie was being bullied by Davis' mother!In the restroom, when Davis' mother heard Lexie's words, she bristled with rage. "What? You won't marry my son? My son almost died to save you, but you say that you're reluctant t
Chapter 723Davis' mother was terrified by Jocelyn. She stepped back and walked outside quickly. "Lexie, you little bitch! I will go to tell my son that you bullied me with your friend!"After she finished speaking, she left the restroom anxiously and ran away.Lexie washed the grapes resignedly. "Thank you, Jocelyn!"Jocelyn glanced at her. "Don't you blame me for arguing with her?"Lexie faced the mirror and laughed at herself. "How can I blame you? What you did is for my own good!"Jocelyn sighed slightly. "I didn't expect Davis' mother to be like that!"Lexie compressed her lips. "She gradually becomes like that after their family had the accident!"Jocelyn understood Lexie's meaning.'Lang is Davis' mother's last name. He has taken his mother's last name since their family's fortunes declined.'Davis' mother must have suffered from a terrible strike at that time!'Jocelyn shook her head resignedly. "She's poor, but I still can't stand seeing you being bullied by her! Sh
Chapter 724Davis' mother muttered, "I didn't scold you."Davis' wound hurt. What was worse, he even had a headache because of his mother.He said resignedly, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Moore is Jocelyn's husband. They kindly come here to see me. How can you scold Jocelyn? Also, I know Lexie well. Please don't make things difficult for her again. If you dislike staying in the hospital, you can go home. I don't need you to take care of me!"Davis' mother raised her voice. "If I don't take care of you, who will take care of you?"Jocelyn couldn't help but roll her eyes. 'Davis has been hospitalized for so many days, but his mother has just come here. Doesn't she feel ashamed to criticize others haughtily?'She is shameless!'Davis compressed his lips. "The carer and Lexie will take care of me. Lexie is careful. Don't worry!"Davis' mother snorted, "No way! I must supervise them. Otherwise, how can I know if they take good care of you or not? What if you have sequelae?"Davis
Chapter 725Jocelyn felt confused. "What's the matter? Lexie?"Lexie bit her lip and kept silent.Jocelyn lowered her head and saw Lexie fixing her eyes somewhere.Jocelyn suddenly turned around and saw Jim walking towards them with a woman. Then Jocelyn took a close look and found that the woman was Lexy, who was on the same side as Gill in Moon Restaurant that day!Jocelyn's face was overcast with anger. 'What does Jim want to do? Does he think that the matter of Gill is not troublesome enough?'Jim also saw Jocelyn and Lexie. He stopped.He looked at Lexie from far away. His gaze was filled with affection. Jocelyn didn't know how to describe it.Jocelyn felt ridiculous. 'Now that you're with your ex-girlfriend, why do you look at Lexie with such a gaze?'Then Jocelyn saw Jim lowering his head and saying something to Lexy. Lexy walked away and waited for him on the lawn not far away.Only then did Jim walk towards Jocelyn and Lexie.He compressed his lips and said, "Haven'
Chapter 726He reached out to caress Lexie, but she dodged him with a cold expression.Jim smiled, not minding it. "Lexie, I didn't expect to meet you in the hospital. But I'm very happy!"Lexie pressed her lips, remaining silent.Jim didn't mind it, either. He continued, "What I said is true. Lexy was injured when she helped me get the evidence. So, I brought her to the hospital. Don't overthink it!"Lexie's face hardened. "I don’t overthink it!"Jim smiled. "Really? Actually, I've calmed down a lot recently. I've already thought about what to say when I see you again!"Lexie stared at her shoes, without uttering a word.Jim gazed fixedly at her, as if he had wanted to imprint her on his mind. He added, "As for the love confession, I apologize to you! I'm really sorry!"Hearing this, Lexie suddenly looked up at him. She was shocked, or rather deeply sad. She took a glance at Jim and quickly looked away. "Don’t apologize. I've already forgotten it!"Jim insisted, "I should
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
