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
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
