Chapter 104: Chapter 104

Abel was rather shocked. He chuckled lightly and said, “Lil Sis, is something wrong with your hands?”

Abel took another pair of utensils and handed them to Jocelyn.

Jocelyn was slightly stunned. She did not accept the utensils from him.

Lexie noticed Jocelyn’s unusual response and immediately said, “So what if he’s back? It has nothing to do with us!”

Davis looked at Lexie and said, “I remember that you told me about him back when we were in university!”

Lexie saw Jocelyn taking the utensils from Abel. She then lowered her head and continued eating. Lexie told Davis, “Wasn’t he really popular back in university? I simply admired him because I was curious about him back then. Don’t mention him now. He’s way too different from us!”

Lexie had always been cold and untalkative. This was the first time Davis had seen her being so emotional!

He could not help but chuckle and say, “Lexie, do you like Walter Keene? I was just talking about him randomly. Why are you being so emotional?”

Lexie was worried about Jocelyn, so she wanted to end the conversation about Walter Keene as soon as possible.

She really got emotional after hearing what Davis said. She immediately blurted out, “How can I like him?!”

Her voice was filled with grievance and rage.

Davis frowned as he spoke to her in an exasperated tone, “So be it if you don’t like him. Why are you getting angry?”

Lexie glanced at Davis with red-rimmed eyes. Davis did not know that she liked him. How could he say something like that to her?

She bit her lip and said, “Walter Keene is the heir of the Keene household. He has had a fiancée a long time ago I hate ambiguous relationships. I won’t even consider people like him!”

Skyler raised his brows and glanced at Lexie after hearing her words. He frowned slightly but remained silent Davis thought that Lexie was emotional because she hated people that intervened in others’

relationships.

He immediately apologized “I’m sorry, I didn’t think about this while I was speaking just now. Don’t be angry!” Lexie’s anger dissipated after hearing what Davis said. She said softly, “Why would I be angry?”

She was afraid that Jocelyn would feel angry and upset. Jocelyn’s emotions had definitely been triggered!

Otherwise, she would not have dropped her utensils just now.

Lexie was rather vexed. Jocelyn had almost forgotten Walter Keene. Why did he have to return to the country right now?

Jocelyn kept her head lowered as she ate silently.

Abel said a few words about it. However, he went silent after noticing that no one else was saying anything.

The meal went on exceptionally quietly.

During the meal, Abel received two phone calls and left the restaurant.

After returning to the company, Lexie and Jocelyn were finally left alone. Lexie was extremely worried.

“Jocelyn, are you alright?”

Jocelyn shook her head and said, “Nothing happened!”

Lexie had a worried expression on her face. “Don’t lie to me. I know you well. You dropped your utensils just now!”

Jocelyn bit her lip and said, “I was just… way too shocked just now!

Lexie pursed her lips and said, “Davis just mentioned that he’ll be coming back. He isn’t back yet!

Don’t mess up your day because of him!”

Jocelyn glanced at Lexie and asked, “Do you think that I’ll mess up my head because of him?”

Lexie was dazed. “… I just wish that you won’t get influenced by him!”

Jocelyn lowered her head and continued working on her design draft. “Go back to work. Don’t worry, I could handle him two years ago. Similarly, I can handle him right now!”

Lexie still looked rather worried. “Alright, if anything happens, remember to let me know!”

Jocelyn nodded In the afternoon, Jocelyn completed a design draft. She wanted to ask Skyler when she could send the original draft to the competition judges.

After that, Skyler sent her a text.

His text consisted of two very simple words: (Come upstairs!)

Jocelyn took the design draft and headed to Skyler’s office.

As soon as Jocelyn walked into the office, Skyler handed her a transfer slip. “Take a look!”

Jocelyn lowered her head and saw that an account with an English name had transferred 150 thousand dollars to Millie’s account, She raised her head and asked, “Whose account is this?”

There was an ambiguous expression on Skyler’s face. He looked straight at her and said, “It belongs to Abel!”

Jocelyn was stunned. She shook her head and retorted instinctively, “It can’t be him!”

A dark glint flashed across Skyler’s gaze. “How can you be so sure that it isn’t him? Is it because he’s been treating you well?”

Jocelyn shook her head and said, “No, I just feel that given Abel’s personality, he would do something to harm me directly if he wants to go against me. He won’t do something behind my back!”

Skyler sneered and said, “I didn’t expect you to think of him so highly!”.

Jocelyn frowned. “President Moore, I’m just telling you facts!”

Skyler huffed coldly and spoke to her in a seething tone, “Does that mean that you think that I’m accusing him wrongly?”

Jocelyn felt rather exasperated. “President Moore, we can’t judge this issue emotionally!”

There was a rather unpleasant expression on Skyler’s face. “Do you mean that I’m framing him on purpose?”

Jocelyn did not know why Skyler hated Abel so much. Even if they were rivals, he did not have to go to such extents.

She tried explaining herself. “I didn’t mean that. I just think that even if this account belongs to Abel, there might be more than meets the eye!”

Skyler could sense that he was being emotional as well.

However, some things were not within his control. His emotions were shifting along with their conversation.

He looked at Jocelyn and spoke to her in an ambiguous tone, “Jocelyn White, do you believe in Abel that much?”

Jocelyn continued explaining patiently. “It’s not that I believe in him. I believe in my own judgment. I don’t think that Abel will be so foolish as to leave behind such an obvious piece of evidence that we’ll be able to uncover! Besides, why would Millie help him?”

Skyler huiled lightly and leaned on his office chair. “Millie’s father is severely ill. She needs money for him to receive treatment!”

Jocelyn tried to say something after hearing what he said. There was a complicated expression on her face All humans had their own difficulties, She said, “Even il Millie has her reasons to do so, this doesn’t mean that Abel was behind it!”

Skyler’s gaze darkened as he said, “Alnght, I’ll continue investigating this case. I hope he can live up to your trust in him!”

Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly without saying anything.

Skyler looked at Jocelyn and suddenly recalled her unusual reaction when the others mentioned Walter Keene during lunch today.

He raised his brow and looked at Jocelyn. “Do you know Walter Keene?”
