Chapter 146: Chapter 147

The sound of Jocelyn opening the door startled the individuals in the office. Both pairs of eyes turned to look at her simultaneously. There was a faint change in Jocelyn’s expression, she could mistake the person kneeling on the ground. It was Michael.

Seeing clearly that the visitor was Jocelyn, Michael was about to stand up, but then he noticed Skyler’s cold and dark gaze. He gritted his teeth. He did not get up, his head bowed.

Jocelyn’s expression shifted again and again. She walked in and immediately closed the door.

While she did not know what was going on, it was obvious that she was somewhat involved in this matter with Michael.

Skyler looked at Jocelyn as if he saw no other person in the office. His expression was indifferent. “What are you doing here?” Jocelyn looked at Skyler and then at Michael, who was kneeling on the ground.

Without answering Skyler’s question, she asked, “What’s this about?”

Skyler’s gaze darkened. “It’s exactly as it looks!” Jocelyn’s eyes flashed and she asked bluntly, “Why is he kneeling before you?” A mocking sneer appeared on Skyler’s face. “What? Do you want to plead for him?” Jocelyn looked at him silently. “You think too much, I’m not that saintly! I’m at most, curious!

When she learned that Michael had not only been hating her for so many years and had planned to use her thoroughly, her feelings for this person had long since vanished.

Skyler snorted but did not answer her question. “I am doing as you would wish, so why did you come looking for me?”

Jocelyn looked at him neither humbly nor haughty and explained her intention “I came to thank you, to express my gratitude for acting on my behalf!”

Skyler glanced at Michael on the ground and then at Jocelyn. “What exactly do you mean? How would i know what you’re thanking me for if you don’t speak clearly!”

Jocelyn frowned. Thinking of the man’s poisonous tongue, she refrained herself. “The matter with the Quirrel family, along with Chad and Lily!”

Skyler smiled. “It seems that you still are able to differentiate between good and bad. Since you have come all the way to thank me, I should be the bigger person. I’ll forgive your ignorance from before!”

Michael’s expression changed. Sure enough, all the previous events were Skyler’s doing. He had guessed correctly!

Jocelyn raised her brow and looked at Skyler. She had already given him an out yet the man was still being difficult. She was really speechless.

She pursed her lips and said, “It’s a different matter, there is no reason for you to help me at all. I’d owe you a favor if you helped me. I will remember this incident this time. If you need my help in the future, just ask!”

There was a playful smile on Skyler’s lips. He had forgotten that Jocelyn had always been so kind.

Parting his lips, he said, “No need for that!” Jocelyn glanced at him but did not argue. She would come forward to repay the favor when Skyler really needed help. How would Skyler know if he would actually need Jocelyn soon after answering so straightforwardly? After Jocelyn said her piece, she turned to leave. In the end, Michael shouted at her suddenly, “Jocelyn!”

Michael’s expression was conflicted. He could tell that Skyler really respected Jocelyn!

He realized that Lily’s fate was a result of Skyler’s work. He would hurry over and beg Skyler once Lily had been saved.

He was aware that he could not go up against Skyler.

As a result, he had made his way over. Skyler looked at him. He knelt down to apologize and beg for mercy, but Skyler said nothing. He could only kneel all this while!

Not to mention, Jocelyn had come over and essentially treated him like a stranger!

He really had no other solutions, he could only call out to Jocelyn. He guessed that Skyler would be even more difficult to converse with once Jocelyn leaves.

Skyler looked at Michael coldly, his expression unsightly.

Michael pressed on. “Jocelyn, I know I’ve not been acting like a decent human. I’ve not been nice to you but considering the 20 years you spent with our White family, please give us some mercy. Lily is sorry for what she did to you before. She is now the laughingstock for the entirety of Mauve City and she is crippled. Please say something to President Moore, have him spare the White family, yeah?”

Michael had begun groveling at Jocelyn as he said this.

His head hit the marble floor with enough force to make a thumping sound. “I beg you, Jocelyn!”

Jocelyn frowned tightly and said, “You don’t have to do this!”

Michael kowtowed to Jocelyn like trash. “Jocelyn, I am so sorry, please let the White family go!

Skyler noticed that Jocelyn’s expression was unsightly. It was obvious that although she was able to treat Michael coldly, she could not watch him grovel in front of her.

Skyler’s expression was overcast. “Michael White, that’s enough! Just who are you trying to fool?”

Michael’s forehead was red, his expression one of humiliation. “President Moore, I’m fooling nobody. I just beg of you to show mercy to the White family!” Skyler’s expression was extremely dark. “You can f*ck off now!” “Are you willing to let the White family off?” Michael beseeched. Skyler’s voice was ice-

cold. “I’m not interested in beating a dead corpse! Hurry up and get out of my sight, lest I change my mind!” Michael hurriedly stood up and expressed his gratitude nonstop. “Thank you, President Moore!”

He spoke as he retreated. He glanced at Jocelyn again. “Jocelyn, thank you too!” Skyler grabbed a document and threw it at him. “Scram!”

Michael immediately closed the door and disappeared. Jocelyn looked at Skyler with a complicated expression. “You didn’t actually have to let him go because of me. If you don’t like him, it doesn’t matter to me if you simply punish him!” Skyler looked at Jocelyn deeply. “Don’t you think he was pathetic?”

Jocelyn sneered, “There are bound to be hateful aspects of pathetic people!” Skyler glanced at her. “If you can think this, then it doesn’t matter if I let him go. After all, it’s because of you that I began watching the White family!”

Jocelyn pursed her lips and looked at him sincerely. “I know. Thank you, President Moore! I will remember your kindness!”

Seeing Jocelyn’s sincere and serious expression, Skyler was secretly shook and so his tone was also a little foul. “No need, you don’t need to bother me about this kind of thing in the future!” Jocelyn nodded and turned to leave. In the end, Skyler called out to her all of a sudden, “There is another problem!”
