Chapter 140: Chapter 141

Jocelyn’s heart lurched. She then spoke up and started stammering, “Mr…. Moore!! She looked at Skyler’s icy but handsome face fearfully. She was extremely anxious. Skyler walked down the staircase step by step with a calm expression on his face. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Jocelyn wanted to ask him about the accident, but she did not have the courage to ask him about it directly. She tried to start the conversation with another topic. “Mr. Moore, you asked me to meet you at Jubilee Club in the evening. May I know if anything happened?”

Skyler did not look at Jocelyn. He walked over in his sleeping robes and sat down on the sofa. Whitie no longer feared him after receiving plenty of cuddles from him in the past two days. After seeing Skyler walk over, White raised its eyes to look at him lazily. It did not run away from him.

Skyler took Whitie into his arms and looked at Jocelyn. “That’s not what you wanted to ask, right?”

After seeing Zayn’s attitude toward him today, he guessed that he must have told Jocelyn something!

After all, the Cloud family held a considerable amount of authority in Mauve City. It was normal for him to be able to find out something!

Jocelyn did not expect Skyler to ask her such a question.

She bit her lip and walked over. She sat down beside Skyler on the sofa and said, “Did the car accident that took place today evening have anything to do with you?” Skyler chuckled lightly and looked at Jocelyn. His smile did not reach his eyes. “What do you think?”

Jocelyn was stunned. She looked rather dazed as she said, “I don’t know!” Skyler raised his gaze lazily and said, “No, you know the answer. You just don’t know how to accept it!”

Jocelyn’s pupils constricted as she fixed her stare on him. “What do you mean by that? Have you been expecting the car accident that took place today evening to happen beforehand?”

Skyler had no intentions of hiding anything from her. “Yes, I’ve expected it to happen beforehand!”

Jocelyn was struck with shock. “Does it have anything to do with you?”

Skyler lowered his head as he used his index finger to rub Whitie’s head. “You can say that I was involved. You can also say that I wasn’t involved!”

There was an unpleasant expression on Jocelyn’s face. “Mr. Moore, I don’t understand what you mean!

Zayn said that you’re related to this incident. He even told me that you’re doing all of this on my behalf! I don’t think that that’s the truth!”

Skyler raised his head to glance at Jocelyn. He had no intentions of hiding anything from Jocelyn at all. “I told you that I was involved because things always happen for a reason. I took out evidence of Stuart Quirrel receiving bribes to set up Lily and Howard’s wedding. I was involved in this.

Meanwhile, I told you that I wasn’t involved in this because I didn’t do anything else except for that!”

“Given the progress of things, don’t you think that they deserve everything that happened to them today?

The Jung family fell to their greed and tried looking for an arranged marriage that would maximize their benefits. Meanwhile, Lydia and Lily acted on their personal greed as well. They were all out of control!”

Jocelyn moved her lips as she spoke up in a hardened tone of voice. “Why were the three of them the only ones that were met with such terrible outcomes? Does this have anything to do with me?”

Skyler fixed his gaze on Jocelyn. He stared at Jocelyn with an unreadable expression on his face. “What do you think?”

Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly and said, “I don’t really believe that all of this was a coincidence!”

Skyler cast a heavy glance at Jocelyn and spoke, “Michael tried to scheme against you previously. If I didn’t make it over in time, you would’ve been raped by Howard and ended up in the same state as Lily right now. You would’ve become a joke when everyone finds out that Howard cheated on you. Don’t you think so?” Jocelyn looked at him and said, “Yes, I’m sincerely grateful to you for helping me out!”

Skyler huffed lightly and said, “I don’t need you to thank me. I told you that no man would’ve sat back and watched something like that happen. Besides, we’re married. Also, do you know what Lynn did?”

Jocelyn shut her eyes. She had confirmed that Skyler was involved in today’s car accident. Zayn’s guesses held some truth to them.

She nodded and said, “She hired someone to spike the alcohol during Mrs. Claude’s dinner gala!”

Skyler looked at Jocelyn sarcastically. “You’ve been way too naive. If that was really the case, I wouldn’t have resorted to such brutal means!”

Jocelyn’s pupils constricted as she asked, “What else did she do?”

A hint of piercing coldness flashed across Skyler’s face. “She also ordered a few men to violate you.

They had prepared to film the entire thing. However, she didn’t expect me to take you away! That’s why her plan failed!”

Jocelyn widened her eyes in disbelief. She had never expected things to turn out that way.

“Why would she do that? I’ve never offended her!” There was a rather unpleasant expression on Jocelyn’s face.

Skyler glanced at her. There was a cold and distant expression on his face as he asked,” Jocelyn, don’t you think that you’re way too close with Zayn Claude?”

Jocelyn was stunned as she instantly came to a realization. So this was what happened!

Lynn thought of her as her love rival. That was the reason why she wanted to…

Skyler raised his brow and looked at Jocelyn. His face was downcast and had a dangerous expression on it. “Do you feel sympathy for her?”
