Walter was very good-looking. Zayn was as mild, he was a gentleman, generous and steady. He was like a piece of luxurious but low-profile jewelry that no ordinary person could afford.Walter was intelligent. At the age of 22, he had a double degree in architecture and business. He was a doctor who had proceeded with his master's degree and doctoral degree right after his undergraduate degree without any breaks!What was more, he was also the successor of the Keele family. His identity and background had ascertained that his wife would be selected by his family.Jocelyn was quite prideful a person. After that incident happened, she said not a single word to Walter.She had immediately asked Howard to put on a fake relationship with her. Howard had chased after Jocelyn for a long time at the time back then and she asked him for help without thinking about it.Later on, Walter went abroad and Jocelyn promised Howard to date him for real.However, Howard had not cherished Jocelyn in
Jocelyn was wearing a smoky grey tulle dress today. The hem was relatively long with some of it dragging against the ground and it had a bandeau.The moment her dress tore, Jocelyn subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect her chest.It would have been fine if the hem of the dress was torn but in that instant, she felt the bandeau clearly being pulled down and she would have exposed herself in the next instant.Lexie was livid. She quickly protected Jocelyn in the front, helping obstruct her from view while lifting the dress and bandeau up.Zayn noticed the commotion this side just as he was welcoming a couple of guests.He strode over and he, who had always been gentle, glanced at the culprit, Yvonne with an ugly expression.Then, he took off his coat and put it on Jocelyn. "Jocelyn, are you okay?"Jocelyn calmly shook her head. "I'm fine!"Yvonne looked at Jocelyn without remorse, as if Jocelyn had deserved what she just did.Jocelyn's gaze darkened. She immediately g
Although Lynn and Zayn were not engaged, there was no one in Mauve City who did not know that the Claudes and the Quirrels had intended for them to marry.Lynn's expression suddenly changed. She stood up and stared at Yvonne seriously. "What do you mean? What are you talking about?"Yvonne pursed her lips. "Do I look like I'm talking nonsense? The reason why I quarreled with her was because I saw her meet up with Director Claude several times. Jocelyn’s friend had been hospitalized before this and she used to go to the hospital every day. She would always meet up with Director Claude every time she went. I warned her once at the time, but she didn't take my words seriously!"Lynn's expression was absolutely hideous. "Then why didn't you tell me this before?!"Yvonne sniffled in an aggrieved manner. "I didn't want to offend Director Claude or make you worry. I thought of getting her to back off first after I confronted her but I didn't expect her to flirt with Director Claude at the
The banquet began. After Zayn greeted several guests, he went looking for Jocelyn.Lynn and Yvonne were standing not far away.Yvonne continued to stir up the flames, whispering in Lynn's ear. "See that? Director Claude went looking for Jocelyn the moment he was done. He couldn’t wait to have her at his side all the time. You've already been at the dinner for so long, but I haven't seen him come to say hello to you or anything!"Lynn was so made that her delicate, little face twisted.She said bitterly, “Can you stop talking?"She was now internally fuming and still, she had to listen to Yvonne like a fly in her ear, irritating her again and again. Yvonne said with a slight smile. “Alright then, I'll go around by myself first!"Lynn ignored her. Yvonne was unhappy, but she did not show it.She pressed her lips into a straight line and turned away.Jocelyn was talking to Zayn when he saw Lynn approach with a smile. “Zayn, you’re here with Miss White."Zayn frowned slightly. "
Jocelyn was stunned. Since when was she Skyler’s companion?Lexie had loosened her grip and was standing to the side waiting for her. Jocelyn was just about to raise her question when she noticed Skyler’s warning gaze and quietly shut up.Skyler placed his hand on her waist. To outside eyes, he was practically half-hugging her into his embrace. They looked very close. He looked at Yvonne coldly. "Can you leave already?" Yvonne was resentful as she looked toward Jim. Jim was already smiling as he went to pester Lexie. “Xixi, I didn’t think we’d meet here!”Lexie’s expression was cold, like she did not want to see him. Jim touched his nose sheepishly. “Aw, don’t be so cold!”Lexie remained cold as usual, treating him like air. Yvonne looked at Skyler, aggrieved, and noted that he was expressionless as always.She finally glared at Jocelyn and turned away angrily.Jocelyn looked at Skyler. "Mr. Moore, can you explain what's going on?"A look of disgust flashed across Sk
What Skyler sensed was that... It did not look like a fever, but instead…He then only recalled that Jocelyn had no experience in life under her and was only 20 years old. She probably did not know what was going on at all! She just kept saying that she felt discomfort!However, who would dare make a move on Jocelyn so openly at this dinner with so many people around? That said, Jocelyn was not a fool. Did she drink something someone else gave her?Countless thoughts flashed through Skyler’s mind in an instant and Jocelyn could barely stand anymore.Skyler knew that if Jocelyn found out that she made a fool of herself in public tomorrow, she would be devastated considering the type of person she was. Taking advantage of others' inattention, he immediately wrapped her up in his arms. Raising his hand, he began to position her to get a better grip on her.Then, he quickly picked Jocelyn up and walked out.Lynn had been secretly watching Jocelyn and did not expect her to be with
Jocelyn grabbed his arm and his body went slightly stiff. She still retained a trace of lucidity, however.In a trance, she recalled that Skyler seemed to have told her not to have any funny ideas about him!She as though woke up a little. Although she was in so much discomfort, she let go of Skyler’s hand as if it burned.She murmured unconsciously, "No need!"Skyler felt her move and a touch of loss flashed across his eyes.So it seemed that she was this unwilling to be with him…He gripped the steering wheel tightly. “Alright, no need then!”Jocelyn clawed at the backrest of the passenger seat incessantly. She was trying hard to endure, to hold herself back from jumping Skyler.He suddenly stepped on the brakes. He asked himself why was it so upsetting even though they were both married!She was already his wife and it was only right that he help her!Skyler unbuckled his seat belt then turned and looked at the passenger seat. His voice was very soft. "Jocelyn, let me he
Skyler felt angry and suffocated. He suddenly turned his head, no longer looking at Jocelyn. His heart sank completely. "No need, we’re not far from Villa No. 1 now. The family doctor is already there!"With that, he suppressed his emotions and tried to keep himself from getting angry. The car was covering hundreds of miles in an instant as it sped toward Villa No. 1.In all honesty, Skyler was absolutely livid to have been pushed away in that situation.It was not only frustration from being interrupted emotionally, it was also his self-esteem being insulted.What could he do though? Jocelyn was not willing even in her predicament!Skyler could have any woman; to take advantage of someone when they were in danger would be absolutely classless!What was more, he had always been able to have anyone he wanted!He just wanted to help her!Jocelyn’s mind was muddled but she had engraved in her mind that nothing could happen between her and Skyler. She had forgotten that before thei
