An evil smirk formed on Chad’s lips. He looked like he was drooling as he cast a lustful gaze upon Jocelyn. He carried Jocelyn like a groom would do a bride and went upstairs quickly. Lily watched as Chad carried Jocelyn upstairs. She finally showed a sinister smile. Hmph, how dare she go against her? She was not a match for her yet! Michael cast a doting gaze upon Lily and asked, “Did this help to vent your anger?” Lily pouted and said, “Wait till we get our hands on the video. Besides, we might really be able to blackmail her through that!” Michael’s gaze flashed as he hummed heavily. “If she doesn’t want her reputation to be completely ruined, she should know what to do!” Lily smiled as she grabbed Yennis’s arm. “Mother’s idea is truly the best!” It turned out that Michael was infuriated after knowing that Jocelyn had outwitted Lily with her scheme in the afternoon. However, he pondered upon it for a while after calming down. It would not work if he tried t
Skyler could not describe what he felt the moment he caught sight of the scene within the room. If he were one step late, Jocelyn would have been violated by this man. She was unconscious as she lay on the bed quietly like a child. It was as if she were oblivious to everything happening in her surroundings. He could not imagine that one could actually fall for such a scheme even within the confines of one’s own house. Somehow, Skyler recalled her lively gaze and unyielding attitude when she argued with him this afternoon. If she knew about what had happened, what would her reaction be then? He walked up and dragged Chad down from the bed. He then threw him by the side like a piece of trash. He quickly put Jocelyn’s skirt back on her. Chad was stunned. “You…Who are you? What are you trying to do? Why are you disrupting my happy hour?” In the twenty years or so that Skyler had lived, he reckoned that he had experienced all sorts of hardships and obstacles. Regardle
After Skyler finished speaking, he turned around with Jocelyn in his arms. “Yale, let’s go!” Skyler carried Jocelyn and left with large strides. Michael’s face turned as white as paper. He lost his balance. “Did I hear wrongly just now? He…what did he say?” There was a terrible expression on Yennis’s face as well. She spoke up in a bitter and unwilling tone, “He said that…Jocelyn is his wife, but…but when did all of this happen? Why didn’t we know anything about it?” Michael felt beyond regretful right now. He closed his eyes in mortification and said, “It’s no wonder all of this happened!” It was no wonder Prosperity Jewelry would help Jocelyn to such extents. He had brought utter doom upon himself by offending Skyler Moore this time around! Yennis snapped angrily, “Jocelyn is getting wilder nowadays. Marriage is such a huge affair in one’s life, yet she didn’t even notify us about it. She doesn’t even see you as her father!” Michael was beyond angered right now. H
Skyler woke up after getting kicked off the bed. He hit his head heavily against something when he landed on the ground. The blow was so painful that he instantly woke up. Skyler rubbed the back of his head as he opened his eyes with a gloomy expression on his face. He then got up from the ground. After that, he caught sight of Jocelyn, who was staring at him with a hateful expression on her face. Her eyes were teary and red-rimmed. Skyler felt the urge to murder someone early in the morning. “Jocelyn White, are you out of your mind?” He did not expect this woman to repay his act of kindness by kicking him off the bed after he just rescued her last night! Jocelyn froze the moment she saw the angry expression on Skyler’s handsome face. She stopped crying as well. Her face was filled with shock. She stuttered slightly as she spoke. “Skyler…Skyler Moore, you…why are you here? Wasn’t Chad Jones with me last night?” Skyler’s expression darkened as he asked, “What’s wr
Jocelyn was genuinely grateful toward Skyler. If he had not saved her last night, Lily would be in total control of her life right now. She felt extremely regretful when she recalled the mess that she had caused in the morning. She cast a cautious glance at Skyler while having breakfast. “Thank you for everything last night!” Skyler raised his head to glance at her. He looked like he did not want to bother her at all. Jocelyn pursed her lips and blinked her eyes. “Everything that happened this morning was an accident. I’m sorry!” Skyler huffed lightly and got up. “I’m full!” Jocelyn sat by the dining table dejectedly like a loser. After Skyler put on his shoes, he asked her in an icy tone, “Are you leaving? I’m going to work right now!” After hearing what Skyler said, Jocelyn immediately sprung to action. He was implying that he would be fetching her to work! She immediately stood up and said, “I’m coming! I’m coming right now!” She changed her shoes in a hu
The girl was dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt. After catching her breath, she spoke up, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, something came up while I was on the way here. That’s why I was late! I’m really sorry!” Everyone fixed their gazes on her. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Someone spoke up first. “Are you Jocelyn White?” The person asked with a heavy tone of distaste. “You’re late on your first day of work. How admirable!” “Also, why are you dressing like this? Do you think that this is a university?” “Tsk tsk tsk…Is this the legendary jewelry genius that everyone’s been talking about? Hah!” The people gathered by the side spoke in sarcastic tones. The girl was stunned. After some time, she came to her senses and waved her hands. “No, I’m the new designer assistant, Yvie Claude!” Fiona stiffened after hearing Yvie’s words. She cast a hesitant glance at Jocelyn, who was sitting by the side. Her voice was full of shock and uncertainty. “Isn’t she the designer ass
Yvie shook her head in fear at once. She spoke in a fluster, “No, no, I didn’t mean to say that!” Jocelyn laughed and said, “I was just teasing you. You actually took it seriously. You can just call me Jocelyn. Since you’re my assistant, make sure to work hard under me and fight for the opportunity to become an assistant designer as soon as possible!” Yvie nodded repeatedly in an anxious manner and said, “I’ll definitely work hard!” Although the title of designer assistant and assistant designer sounded similar, the work scopes were completely different. Designer assistants could only help out in miscellaneous chores whereas assistant designers could produce their own design drafts. They were eligible to participate in all sorts of design competitions as well.Jocelyn gave her a once over and said, “Also, dress more formally when you come to work tomorrow!” Yvie was dazed. She nodded at once. The top floor of Prosperity Jewelry. As soon as Skyler walked out of the
Impatience filled Skyler as everyone stared at him. He tore off the plaster straight away. However, not only did everyone stare at him even more blatantly, but they even started gossiping among each other. Perhaps they were not gossiping about Skyler, but in his eyes, they were discussing where he got his wound from. He then recalled everything that had happened in the morning once again. Rage surged within Skyler as he announced the conclusions of the meeting grumpily. He told everyone that the meeting was adjourned and left the room. Not long after the meeting, Yale looked for Skyler and said, “President Moore, Jocelyn…” Skyler interrupted him coldly before he could finish his sentence. “Don’t tell me anything about Jocelyn White today. I don’t want to hear anything related to her today, got it?” Yale was stunned. He looked at the unpleasant expression on Skyler’s face. He had no choice but to nod and leave the room. When it was time for lunch in the afternoon, J
