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
Skyler's gaze sank and a dark light flashed in his eyes. "Dad, why do you say that?"Zachariah snorted. "I was invited to be a judge for the Dawnlight Jewelry Competition this time. I was free this morning so I flipped through the drafts from the competition just now. Unexpectedly, I saw the design by Jocelyn from your company!"You helped give her a name back then and helped her file a lawsuit. You even recruited her into your company. I wondered what kind of talent she is but, in the end, she’s just mediocre passing off as a genius. I don’t get her design. To tell you the truth, she wouldn’t even be able to pass the first round with that level. You need to improve your eye for people!"Skyler's frowned deeply. He has practically gone through all of Jocelyn’s design drafts.She was not the kind of person to play at things. Each of her designs had practically been spiritual.Yet, based on his father's reputation, it was impossible for him falsely accuse a small, unknown designer!
Jocelyn had an extremely unpleasant look on her face. “This is not my design. Wait a minute.”After Jocelyn finished speaking, she hurried upstairs to get her laptop.She had a scanned copy of her design draft on her laptop.Jocelyn went downstairs with the laptop, quickly turned it on, and displayed the design she drew. Then, she turned the laptop over and showed it to Skyler. “This is the design draft I handed in that day.”Skyler breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the design on the laptop.This was the level of skill that Jocelyn should have.His eyes twinkled when he saw that Jocelyn looked a little anxious and angry. “Then when do you think your design draft got swapped?”Jocelyn shook her head with an unpleasant look on her face and tried to recall the scene of the day. “I finished the design draft, packaged it directly, and took it to the front desk so they could post it out. The company would send out all their parcels from the front desk. Maybe something went wrong i
Skyler saw that Lynn, who asked Jocelyn to make jewelry, was also a victim.This made him believe Yale, who told him that the Claude family’s enemy might be the one who tampered with the drinks.After all, Lynn was the prospective daughter-in-law that was recognized by the Claude family and she was also a victim of this. This matter was most likely aimed at the Claude family.Skyler was staring at the list when he heard Jocelyn say, “Mr. Moore, this is the printed design draft, I will draw the original as soon as possible.”Skyler turned to Jocelyn. “What do you think about what happened last night?”Jocelyn was slightly startled, her expression looked a little unnatural, but she said quickly, “I was going to talk to you about this. I suspect Lynn was the one who did it because I only drank the wine she handed me last night. Plus, she and Yvonne are best friends and I poured wine on Yvonne last night, so if Lynn wanted to avenge Yvonne, it would make sense.”Especially when she t
Mrs. Claude had hoped that Lynn would marry into the family a long time ago, but her son was so obsessed with his career that he stayed in the hospital all the time and rarely came home. He was even very indifferent to Lynn, the daughter-in-law who the Claude family favored.When Mrs. Claude learned that there was something wrong with what Lynn was drinking, her first thought was that it could bring Lynn and her son together.She asked her servants to send Lynn to the guest room to rest and then went to Zayn herself to ask him to bring some soup to sober Lynn up.However, no one thought that Zayn, who had no idea, would give the soup to someone else.At that time, Chad had just come to pick up his cousin Yvonne.Because of her conflict with Jocelyn, Yvonne was mad so she drank a lot. So, she went to the guest room to rest too.Zayn came out of the kitchen and ran into Chad.Chad asked him where Yvonne was, and he said that she was in the guest room, and while he was at it, he ha
Since he did not succeed using the soft approach, he should just use the hard approach.Jocelyn’s face darkened immediately. “Are you threatening me?”Michael’s tone was cold. “It depends on how you see it.”Jocelyn recalled the swap and Michael calling her home for dinner. Then, she stayed silent for a while before answering coldly, “Alright, I’ll go back.”Jocelyn hung up her phone and packed her things with a dark face. Then, she left No. 1, North Court.Jocelyn was almost ruined when she was in White Mansion last time. With previous experience, she called Fred Cooke in advance.After she made sure Fred was going to White Mansion as well, she was finally relieved.When Jocelyn went over, Fred was already there and he was chatting with Michael on the sofa.To be honest, if her mother Grace Cooke did not pass away and her uncle’s shares were not taken by Michael, Michael would not be able to manipulate her uncle so easily.Even if her father would not allow her uncle’s compan
Jocelyn was speechless as she looked at Michael. “Prosperity filed a lawsuit against Lily to expose her of plagiarism and then hired her again? Do you think they’re not right in the head or do they like to slap themselves in the face?”When Michael was about to say something, the door of the study was pushed open.Lily pushed the door open and barged in angrily.“Dad, stop begging her. She just doesn’t want me to be better than her. She thought she could step all over us because she has Skyler as her support. She doesn’t even think that if Skyler cares about her so much, why would he turn a blind eye to her sister?” Jocelyn peered at Lily coldly. “It’s useless even if you’re playing good cop, bad cop. It’s none of your business whether Skyler cares about me.”After Jocelyn said that, she wanted to leave.However, Lily grabbed Jocelyn’s arm. “Jocelyn, are you really not going to help me?”Jocelyn looked at her from the corners of her eyes. “Are you begging me?”Lily had an unnatural lo
“Where did this come from?” There were intense undertones of rage in Jocelyn’s voice. The photo that Michael had sent to Jocelyn was in a thick, yellowing envelope. The words written on the envelope indicated that it was for Jocelyn. Jocelyn would not mistake the handwriting. This was her mother’s elegant handwriting. Besides, her mother had never written her any letters while she was still alive. Now that she saw this yellowing envelope, it could only mean that her mother had left her a letter before passing away. It was a pity that Michael had discovered it and kept it instead. This letter was in Michael’s hands right now! Jocelyn felt beyond infuriated. She did not expect Michael to behave so treacherously by keeping the letter that her mother had written to her. Michael could tell how Jocelyn was suppressing her rage from the other end of the call. He could clearly hear the sounds of her panting as well. He tsked nonchalantly and asked, “You’re asking me whe
