Lynn was not angry. After losing her home, she started understanding a lot of things.
Yvonneâs disgust and impatience were nothing to her.
She stared at Yvonne emotionlessly and said, âYvonne, you like Skyler, right? If I told Skyler that you took advantage of me to go against Jocelyn White during the Claude familyâs night gala, what would he do to you?â
Yvonneâs expression changed instantly. âYou wanted to go against Jocelyn because Zayn likes Jocelyn.
What does this have to do with me?â Lynn let out a bone-chilling laugh. âIs that so? I would like to see if Skyler would hear what I say. Anyways, I donât have anything now. Iâm not afraid of anything either, Yvonne Rand!â Yvonneâs expression changed again. She glared at Lynn harshly and said, âAlright, you win this time. However, Iâll only help you once!â Lynnâs frightening smile faded as she said, âThatâs enough!â Yvonne was angered and aggrieved. âDonât look for me anymore!â Lynn smirked mockingly and said, âMy phone number is still the same. Ask someone to hand the car and relay any information over to me. Thatâs all you need to do!â
After speaking, Lynn turned around and walked away.
She had lost her family, gotten raped, and suffered a miscarriage. She wanted Lily and Howard to pay a painful price for everything that had happened to her!
During lunch in the afternoon.
Just now, Yvonne had told Jocelyn that she wanted to discuss the customization of her jewelry set over lunch.
However, she kept getting distracted during lunch. She did not pay much attention at all. After lunch, Yvonne left. Jim kept pestering Lexie and refused to leave. They ate nearby the company. They walked back to the company after eating. Jim had no intentions to leave at all. He looked at Skyler and said, âSkyler, youâre not a good friend. You didnât even tell me that Xixi was working at your company!â Skyler showed him a look of disgust. âI didnât know that she was working at Prosperity Jewelry!â
Yale knew that Lexie was working in the IT department of Prosperity Jewelry. He did not think that he had to report the news about a mere employee joining the company to Skyler.
Skyler only found out that Lexie was working at Prosperity Jewelry today. Jim smirked and fixed a doting gaze upon Lexie. âXixi, is it fun at Prosperity Jewelry? If it isnât fun, you can come to my company. Iâll welcome you with open arms!â
Lexie glanced at him coldly. Her gaze made it seem like she was looking at a retarded person.
She ignored Jim and walked faster, Jim did not pay her any mind. She laughed cheekily and caught up with her. Jocelyn and Skyler walked behind them. Skyler knew that Jocelynâs ankle hurt, so he did not walk fast.
When they were about to arrive at the company, Skyler asked, âDoes your ankle still hurt?â
Jocelyn glanced at Skyler and said, âIt no longer hurts. Thank you for your concern, President Moore!â
Skyler felt rather suffocated as a dark expression appeared on his handsome face.
Did he not want to maintain a contractual relationship with Jocelyn and keep his distance from her in the past?
Why did he feel exceptionally uncomfortable when Jocelyn was acting this way toward him?
Humans always found themselves in dilemma!
Skyler walked forward while feeling angry at himself. Suddenly, he thought about how Michael had called him in the morning.
He glanced at Jocelyn. He was suddenly clueless as to whether he would tell Jocelyn about that letter and let her know the truth.
Michael was not Jocelynâs biological father. Logically, Jocelyn would understand why Michael treated her so badly after he told her the truth.
However, at the same time, Jocelyn would also find out that Grace was not her biological mother.
Skyler found out that Grace had treated Jocelyn very well. If Jocelyn knew about this, she would definitely feel extremely upset.
Skyer did not sense that he had started paying attention to someone elseâs feelings.
Graceâs letter would be able to give Jocelyn closure about some things, but it would break her heart as well. Skyler felt extremely conflicted. He stared at the back of Jocelynâs head and suddenly called out, âJocelyn White!â Jocelyn stopped walking and turned around to glance at him emotionlessly. âPresident Moore.â
Skyler stared at the cold expression on her delicate face and asked, âHave you hated Michael White since he treats you so badly?â
Jocelyn stiffened and lowered her eyes. She did not want Skyler to see the true emotions in her eyes.
âI hate him!â she said.
She wished that she could kill Michael after knowing that he had faked her motherâs letter. She no longer treated him as her biological father right now. No father would ever treat their own child like that! Skylerâs heart felt rather heavy. âHow about your mother? What kind of relationship did you have with her?â
Jocelyn suddenly raised her head to look at Skyler. âWhy are you asking me about this?â
There was a rather unnatural expression on Skylerâs face as he turned around to look in another direction. His gaze glittered. âItâs nothing much. I was just asking for fun. After all, Michael treats you so badly, yet you havenât developed a vengeful personality. That means your childhood shouldnât have been too bad. Thatâs why Iâm curious about what kind of a person your mother was and how the relationship between both of you is!â Jocelyn stared at Skyler for a few seconds. âPresident Moore, why would you be curious about this? This doesnât sound like something youâd do!â
Skyler felt rather guilty. âIs that so? I was just asking you a random question. Itâs fine if you donât want to talk about it!â
There was a reminiscent gaze in Jocelynâs eyes when she thought about her mother. âItâs not that I donât want to talk about it, but no words can describe the relationship between both of us. She treats me really well. I love her a lot. Sheâs a really good person!â
Jocelyn did not say any other words. If she did not have her mother, she would definitely grow up to become a vengeful person!
Skyler felt mixed emotions. He wanted to comfort Jocelyn. However, before he could say anything, Jocelyn spoke, âPresident Moore, weâre about to arrive at the company. Iâll go first so that nobody will misunderstand the relationship between us!â
After speaking, Jocelyn started walking faster while ignoring the pain in her ankle.
Skyler looked at her silhouette as an unpleasant expression formed on his face.
From that moment onwards, he simply felt that she deserved it!
