Chapter 784Skyler closed his eyes and didn't reply to Jim.Jim knew Skyler well. It was true that Skyler set off at that time on purpose.Skyler had trained his hearing strictly, so his hearing was very acute. Through the doors, after he heard that Jocelyn and Lexie wearing shoes and picking up bags, he asked Jim to set off.He had lived here for a long time and was reluctant to let Jocelyn notice. When he knew that Jocelyn and Lexie agreed to have dinner with them, he realized that Jocelyn's attitude had softened.Thus, he did so on purpose to let Jocelyn soften and come home with him earlier.He had suffered from serious insomnia recently. Although he took two sleeping tablets every time, it was useless. The doctor said that he had developed resistance to sleeping tablets and advised him not to take them but to take other treatments.He didn't care about it at all. Even though he couldn't fall asleep, he wouldn't feel lonely as long as Jocelyn was willing to return home with
Chapter 785Skyler said to Jocelyn in a low voice, "It's dangerous outside. I would like to take you home earlier!"Jocelyn thought about it and compressed her lips. "Talk about it after we have dinner!"He was relieved slightly. He knew that she meant they could pack up her things at Lexie's home and return home if it was still early after they had dinner.Although they were in a bad mood to hear such an incident, Skyler couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that Jocelyn would go home with him.When they entered the hall, someone was giving the security check with a safety detector as expected. Skyler and the others were cooperative.Soon, Jim passed the security check. Then it was the turn of Lexie and Jocelyn.When it was Skyler's turn, the safety detector rang as soon as it touched his wrist.Jim and the others felt strange.Skyler asked the security staff with a long face, "Why did my watch ring? It isn't a weapon!"The staff replied politely, "The safety detector
Chapter 786Jocelyn looked down and thought of Josie's tweet. It was strange that Josie had sent such an inexplicable tweet. Did she... Did she hear Skyler calling me Jo when we were in bed on the bug?'It’s so disgusting!'Skyler had planned to take Jocelyn home in the evening, but after he found the bug inside his watch, he doubted if there were any other monitoring devices in the house. He wasn't sure what Josie would do. 'Damn the insane woman!' He didn't want to expose Jocelyn to any surveillance.After thinking about it, Skyler said to Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, I don't know if there are any other secret monitoring devices in the house, pinhole cameras or whatever like that. I'll have someone examine the whole house tonight to make sure. I will pick you up tomorrow after I make sure the house is safe, okay? I feel unsettled to let you continue to stay outside!"Jocelyn looked at him and responded, "I want to go to work tomorrow!"Skyler's eyes clouded over. "OK. I'll pick up your
Chapter 787Jocelyn smiled. She was happy with Skyler's words.She then took out her phone and showed Skyler Josie's tweet.Skyler frowned as he read the tweet. He then looked at Jocelyn and explained, "Baby, I never called her Jo, even though she asked me to!"Jocelyn blinked and looked at Skyler. "But when we first got together, you muttered Jo a few times!" Jocelyn thought Skyler really loved Josie and used to call Josie Jo, so she felt sad. She couldn't stand the thought that Skyler had ever loved another woman.Skyler looked at Jocelyn with anxiety and explained, "I just noticed that your names could both be shortened to Jo, but I've never loved Josie. And I have told you before what happened between Abel and me. If it wasn't for Josie, we wouldn't have ended up like that!"Jocelyn felt better watching Skyler's face show anxiousness and trying to explain to her. She took Skyler's hand and said seriously, "I trust you. I guess Josie probably heard you call me Jo in bed and
Chapter 788Jocelyn came up to Lexie and turned to Davis' mother, "Davis is hurt, and he needs light meals. The meals in the hospital are best for him!"Davis' mother didn't expect Jocelyn to be here. She spat, "Who are you to tell me what to do? I'm talking to Lexie here. I don't have time for you!"Then the woman turned to Lexie again, "Why are you silent? Are you mute? You're on a date, so you don't have time to talk to me? Is this how you treat the mother of the man who saved your life?"Lexie's face looked awful. "Mrs. Lang, I've shown my respect to you. Don't go too far!"Davis' mother sneered, "Am I going too far? Am I not telling the truth? Let people tell you about it."Davis' mother was loud, and many people came to watch the scene.Lexie's chest heaved with anger. "If you really care about Davis, why aren't you at the hospital taking care of him? What are you doing here?"Immediately, a nervous look flashed across Davis' mother's eyes. She had actually come here to m
Chapter 789 Seeing the flicker in Davis' mother's eyes, Lexie guessed she had a reason for her being here.Lexie asked, her face cold, "What? Why don't you answer me? Are you doing something shameful here? Mrs. Lang, Davis was hurt because of me. But it was he who saved me, not you. I have been putting up with you for Davis’ sake. But if you go too far, I won't keep silent!"Davis's mother was surprised that Lexie would say that to her.She was immediately enraged. She threw her purse at Lexie.Jocelyn's face turned pale as the purse flew towards Lexie. She immediately held Lexie back.Skyler narrowed his eyes and instantly took Jocelyn in his arms. The purse hit him hard on the back.Jocelyn looked up at Skyler worriedly and complained, "Why do you block it with your body?"Skyler looked at Jocelyn. "How could I let it hit you?"Jocelyn muttered, "It's just a purse. It won't hurt too much!" Skyler responded, "Yeah, it didn't hurt too much. But if it hits you, I'll be worri
Chapter 790If Jocelyn got hurt, Skyler wouldn't leave Davis' mother alone. Then even Lexie couldn't speak up for Davis' mother.Lexie shook her head resignedly. 'Why is Davis' mother so shameless?' Every time Lexie saw her face, she felt disgusted by the woman!Seeing the sullen expression on Lexie’s face, Jim thought she was worried that Skyler would really fire Davis or stop paying his medical bills, so he reassured her, "Even if Skyler stops paying Davis' medical bills, I'll pay them for him. And when he recovers and is in a better mood, I'll pay compensation for his injuries!"Lexie stopped in her tracks abruptly. She turned her head to Jim and asked, "Why are you paying him?"Jim replied with guilt, "I... I was also responsible for his injuries, so I..."Lexie hissed, "Shut up!"Jim scratched his hair and wondered, "Am I wrong again?...Josie's face immediately turned pale as soon as the bug she had installed in Skyler’s watch was broken.She called Georgina. "How have
Chapter 791Georgina responded, "OK, I got it!"Hanging up the phone, Georgina felt depressed.She wondered if her life was better now than it had been in the past.In the past, she was poor and people looked down on her. Now she was rich, but she lived in fear every day.She lied with Serena and claimed that Jocelyn bullied her. However, Marcel found out that she lied about it and he was angry with her.Georgina could see that Marcel was really mad. She knew very well that now her life depended on Marcel, so she didn't want to mess things up for Jocelyn anymore.But Josie wouldn't leave Georgina alone.Georgina rubbed her hair in annoyance. She hoped she could get rid of Josie's threat soon....When Skyler returned home in the evening, he immediately had the house inspected at every corner.The next morning, Jocelyn went to work.Skyler planned to pick up Jocelyn to go back to his villa after work. He was worried that his villa was still bugged, so he had the house checke
