Jocelyn froze and sat down while gritting her teeth.
Giada suddenly looked at Jocelyn. She crawled toward her and said, âJocelyn White, Iâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. I was the one who ordered Millie to switch your design draft. I know that her father is sick, and sheâs in urgent need of money. I bribed the people by my cousinâs side and used his account to transfer the funds to Millie!
âI was naive for thinking that you wouldnât do anything to my cousin if you found that he was behind everything. I was the one who asked someone to delete the companyâs surveillance camera recordings as well. Itâs all my fault. I shouldnât be jealous of you. I shouldnât have gone against you. I really know that Iâm at fault. Ask Skyler to forgive me, alright?â
There was an unpleasant expression on Jocelynâs face. She sat there stiffly without saying anything Giada pulled at the cuff of her pants as her voice broke, she continued, âJocelyn White, youâre a designer. You know how important a designerâs hand is to them. Will I still be able to produce any work after losing one hand? Given that we work in the same industry, please forgive me, alright?â
Skyler and Abel did not say anything. Everyone in the suite seemed to be waiting for Jocelynâs reaction Jocelyn simply felt her heart sink as she looked at Skyler. âCan I have a chat with her?â
Skyler said coldly, âDo as you wish!â Jocelyn sighed slightly and looked at Giada. After some time, she asked, âDid you enter Prosperity Jewelry just to sabotage me?â Giada wiped away her tears awkwardly.
âYes!â
Jocelynâs eyes flashed as she added, âDoes this incident have anything to do with Fiona?â
Giada shook her head in a daze. âNo!â
In a more accurate sense, Fiona knew about everything. Although she was under suspicion of instigating things, she also provided Giada with some important information regarding the Dawnlight Jewelry Competition However, Giada was the one who was behind everything. They easily found out about this through their investigation.
Jocelyn felt rather shocked. Things were different from her expectations.
âDid you switch my design draft because I hit you in Serene Court previously?â Jocelyn could not figure things out. They simply had a small argument. Abel even looked for her and stood up for Giada over this incident.
She thought that this incident had ended.
Even if Giada was still angry at her, Jocelyn would not feel as angry even if she hired some people to beat her up However, she had asked someone to switch her design draft behind her back instead. She could not accept this.
If Skyler had not discovered this in advance, everyone would have suspected the credibility of her previous awards since she would not be able to win any awards in the Dawnlight Jewelry Competition after being awarded the grand prize in the Century Jewelry Competition previously.
Giada raised her head to look at Jocelyn. Her eyes were red-rimmed. âDo you really not know why I did that to you?â
There was a dazed expression on Jocelynâs face. âShould I know about it?â
Giada choked up as she glanced at Skyler. She spoke in an aggrieved tone, âI like Skyler Moore. Canât you tell? You hit me that day. Even though I asked my cousin to get back at you, I had no intentions to do anything to you till the very end! Abel lost to you in pool and started admiring you!
âHowever, why would Skyler stand on your side? Iâve liked him for so many years, but he wonât even spare me a glance. How long have you known him? Why does he keep taking your side? Tell me why this is so! i like him so much, but heâs going to break my hand because of you! Jocelyn White, arenât you glad that Iâve been met with such an outcome?â
Giadaâs voice was fierce and desperate. She loosened her grip on the cuff of Jocelynâs plants and stopped begging for forgiveness. She simply sat down on the floor disgracefully. Jocelyn had extremely mixed feelings. She did not expect the ultimate reason behind Giadaâs actions to be Skyler Moore.
Jocelyn spoke in a slightly exasperated tone, âGiada Cain, the fact that you like Skyler has nothing to do with me. You shouldnât bring your personal emotions into your work. By doing so, not only will you ruin me, but youâll affect Prosperity Jewelry as well. If you really like Skyler, you shouldnât do this. Besides, Skyler isnât doing this to help me. Heâs just upholding justice!â
Giada suddenly burst out into maniacal laughter. Her voice was beyond sarcastic as she said,â Justice, haha. Jocelyn White, youâre way too naive. You actually think that Skyler is trying to uphold justice? What a joke!â
Everyone in Mauve City knew that Skyler always took the side of people close to him regardless of logic.
Of course, Giada knew how much he protected his own people!
Skyler obviously viewed Jocelyn as someone on his side. What a joke that Jocelyn was still trying to justify her own behavior in such a self-righteous manner!
Giada looked at Jocelyn and shouted, âJocelyn White, you disgust me!â
There was an unpleasant expression on Abelâs face. âThatâs enough, Giada Cain!â Giada went all out.
She asked loudly, âWhatâs wrong? Are you going to uphold justice as well, cousin?â
Abelâs expression darkened as he asked, âDo you really not want your life anymore?â Giada let out a scornful laugh as she said, âWill Skyler stop taking Jocelynâs side if I give in? Will he forgive me if I admit to my mistakes?â
Abel stopped talking Jocelyn felt extremely exhausted. She glanced at Skyler and said, âSkyler, you should⦠hand her to the police. I want the law to deal with her instead of you!â
Skyler raised his gaze and asked coldly, âAre you sure?â
Jocelyn pursed her lips as a stiff expression appeared on her face. âIâm sure!â
Skylerâs gaze was dark and heavy. âJocelyn White, didnât you tell me that you wonât act like a martyr in front of the true culprit? If you let the law deal with her, Iâll have to let you know that given the Cain familyâs connections, sheâll be out of jail tomorrow. Theyâll just buy her way out!â Jocelyn spoke intently, âIâm not being a martyr. Donât ordinary people seek the protection of the law after encountering such situations? Besides, I donât want you to do such cruel things because of me!â
Skyler cast a mocking glance at Jocelyn. âAm I being cruel? You donât know what it means to be cruel!â
