Chapter 88: Chapter 88

Jocelyn was wearing a smoky grey tulle dress today. The hem was relatively long with some of it dragging against the ground and it had a bandeau.

The moment her dress tore, Jocelyn subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect her chest.

It would have been fine if the hem of the dress was tom but in that instant, she felt the bandeau clearly being pulled down and she would have exposed herself in the next instant.

Lexie was livid. She quickly protected Jocelyn in the front, helping obstruct her from view while lifting the dress and bandeau up.

Zayn noticed the commotion this side just as he was welcoming a couple of guests.

He strode over and he, who had always been gentle, glanced at the culprit, Yvonne with an ugly expression.

Then, he took off his coat and put it on Jocelyn. “Jocelyn, are you okay?”

Jocelyn calmly shook her head. “I’m fine!”

Yvonne looked at Jocelyn without remorse, as if Jocelyn had deserved what she just did.

Jocelyn’s gaze darkened. She immediately grabbed a glass of red wine from the waiter’s serving tray and poured it on Yvonne.

Yvonne had been wearing a little white dress.

Instantly, her body and face were covered with red wine, she tumed very red immediately.

She stared at Jocelyn in disbelief. She was so angry that she stretched out her trembling hand as she pointed at Jocelyn. “How dare you…”

Jocelyn immediately cut her off. “I dare, you want to be a b*tch. Shouldn’t I help you with it?”

Yvonne almost exploded. “I’m being a b*tch? Jocelyn, you’re the one who is the b*tch, you dare call me that? I’ll tear you apart!”

Seeing that Yvonne was about to rush up to her, Zayn immediately shielded Jocelyn behind him.” Miss Rand, watch yourself, otherwise, I’ll have to ask the security guards to make you leave!”

Saying that, he turned around and looked at Jocelyn. “I was afraid accidents might occur so I’d prepared some spare dresses just in case I’ll bring you to change!”

Jocelyn nodded and followed Zayn as they walked into the mansion.

Yvonne’s expression was ugly while she stood stiffly. Finally, Lynn pulled her away and took her to change her clothes, When Skyler and Jim came in, they saw Jocelyn wearing Zayn’s coat Zayn was protecting Jocelyn as they made their way into the mansion Jim raised his eyebrows “Did we miss something?”

Skyler’s gaze was deep but he did not say anything.

Jim casually pulled a man over and asked, “What happened just now?”

The person quickly explained what had just happened. Jim’s expression changed and he turned to look at Skyler.

Skyler glanced at him. “Why is Yvonne at the Claude family banquet? You gave her an invitation?”

Jim immediately shook his head. “No, she and Lynn are best friends. The Rands and the Claudes had always been on good terms, you know this!”

Skyler said coldly, “You’d better make it clear to Yvonne. Don’t mess with Jocelyn. I won’t be courteous next time!”

Skyler stared at the mansion and remained silent for a moment. Even if he had no thoughts about Jocelyn, he could not tolerate others bullying her!

Jim nodded immediately. “Don’t worry, I’ll warn her!”

Jim could see clearly that Skyler was protecting Jocelyn.

No matter what he thought about Jocelyn, he clearly considered Jocelyn to be part of his.

Jocelyn followed Zayn into the mansion and apologized to him. “Director Claude, I’m really sorry. It’s your mother’s birthday today yet I still caused trouble!”

Zayn smiled softly. “This is nothing, you’re not the one who instigated it. Besides, the party hasn’t started yet. Don’t worry about it!”

On the other side, Lynn had brought Yvonne to change clothes.

She sat on the sofa waiting for Yvonne, feeling a little unhappy. “What do you think you were doing? This is the Claudes’ banquet. You asked me to give you an invitation and in the end, you caused a ruckus the moment you came. You’ve made me look bad!”

There was a stutter in Yvonne as she changed her clothes and her expression was hideous.

No one had dared to treat her like how Jocelyn did ever since she was young. What was more, she did not expect that Lynn, her good friend, would not only not comfort her but instead scold her after Jocelyn had angered her.

Yvonne was so livid she could die but she also knew that she was an offshoot of the Rands. Lynn was the only daughter of the head of the Quirrel family. She could not compare herself to Lynn at all If she were to go up against Lynn directly, she would only suffer in the end!

However, she could not stand admitting defeat like this.

Her eyes flashed She put on her clothes and looked at the wine stains on her face, her heart filled with hatred. “Lynnie, I know I was reckless today, but I was not going to let you be treated unfairly!

Lynn frowned, “What did you quarreling with Miss White in front of so many guests have to do with me?”

Yvonne wiped her face and walked to Lynn. “You might not know the reason why I quarreled with her!”

Lynn heard this and started feeling more and more suspicious. “Are you trying to tell me that you fought her for me?”

Yvonne looked at Lynn straight. “Of course, it’s because of you!”

Lynn’s expression shifted slightly, there was a chill in her gaze. “Why wouldn’t I know of any conflict between Jocelyn and me?”

Yvonne knew clearly that no one heard what she said to Jocelyn before she stepped and tore her dress so she lied without guilt. “You might think of Jocelyn as your designer but she is going after your fiancé!”
