Chapter 142
Jocelyn had a feeling that if she were she say that she sympathized, Skyler would come forward and pinch her.
She shook her head with a dazed look “No, I did sympathize with her before but, that was because I didn’t know that she was willing to let people die for her own selfish desires. After knowing how malicious she was towards me, my only regret is that I sympathized with someone like her!”
A light flashed in Skyler’s eyes and he snorted softly. “You’re so dumb!” Jocelyn glared at Skyler with a frown. “Then why are you doing this? The one they’re after is me and it has nothing to do with you!” Skyler’s expression turned sour. “Jocelyn, did you forget who you are?” Jocelyn pouted. “So, you’re doing this because of me?” Words could not describe the complicated feelings in Jocelyn’s heart.
Skyler was rather hypocritical since he had a soft expression yet his words were harsh. “You’re overthinking it. As long as I’m accountable for you, I wouldn’t let anyone do something like this to you. You’re now… mine!”
Jocelyn’s expression changed as she stared at Skyler. “Even though they deserve it, I still…” Skyler interrupted her. “What? You don’t know how to appreciate it?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Jocelyn pursed her lips. “I’m not…” Skyler was frustrated with her current attitude. “Jocelyn, think about it. It was their own malice and the most I’m doing is just adding fuel to the fire. If Lynn had let go of her hatred, this car accident wouldn’t have happened or maybe if Lily didn’t get someone to sabotage Lynn, Lynn wouldn’t have fallen apart. Neither side would have benefited.
“You need to know that Lilly found someone to sully Lynn and caused her to miscarry. It was the last straw to crush Lynn. Jocelyn, do you not understand such simple reasoning?”
Jocelyn’s expression kept changing as she stared at Skyler. “Mr. Moore, it’s not that I don’t understand, it’s just that… I can’t accept this. This is all part of your plan, and you…” Skyler’s expression fell. “You think I’m terrifying, isn’t it?” Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything. Skyler suddenly stood up and walked towards Jocelyn.
Jocelyn immediately felt the pressure around her double and she did not dare to move as she felt unsettled. “Mr. Moore!”
Skyler looked at her condescendingly, placed one knee on the sofa, and reached out his hand to grab Jocelyn’s chin. “Jocelyn, I really didn’t expect that you’d have such an ungrateful side to you! Even if they killed each other, you’d think that it was because of me, right?”
Her chin started to hurt but she kept her mouth shut and did not say anything. Skyler was getting increasingly angry and irritable since he hardly ever had these moments
where he did not have control.
Skyler applied pressure and Jocelyn winced in pain. Suddenly, Whitie jumped over from the sofa beside them and clawed Skyler. A streak of blood immediately appeared on Skyler’s wrist that was grabbing Jocelyn. Jocelyn’s pupils instantly narrowed. Skyler’s expression was foul when he stared at the vigilant little rascal. Whitie hid behind Jocelyn and she quickly said, “Mr. Moore, it’s just an animal!”
Skyler’s expression was extremely foul.
He laughed angrily. “What? You think that I’m so vicious to the point where I wouldn’t even let a little animal go?” Jocelyn bit her lip and kept quiet. Skyler pushed her chin away and looked at the injury on his wrist as he walked upstairs. “Jocelyn, follow me!” Jocelyn stood up and rubbed Whitie’s head while helplessly whispering, “I know you’re worried about me but how could you simply claw someone?”
Jocelyn followed Skyler upstairs. Skyler entered the study and Jocelyn followed behind him. He stood in front of the desk across from Jocelyn so they were facing each other. He looked at her with a heavy expression. “Jocelyn, why do you think that I’m getting involved with this matter?”
Jocelyn pursed her lips and did not answer his question. Instead, she looked at his wrist. “Mr. Moore, your wrist is bleeding. You should get the vaccine for rabies before it gets infected!”
Skyler was expressionless and his tone was cold, “It won’t kill me. Just answer my question!” Jocelyn shook her head. “I don’t know!”
She had never encountered something so dark before so after learning about it and having so many connections with Skyler, she was afraid rather than ungrateful.
Skyler stuck his neck out for her so it would be unreasonable for her to blame him! It was just that today’s scene was too tragic which made her feel conflicted but she did not know how to explain it to Skyler. Before she could think of a way to explain, Skyler took out two pieces of paper from the desk.“ This is your answer!”
Jocelyn was stunned as she looked at the item in Skyler’s hand in disbelief. “What is that?”
At that moment, Skyler felt that he has a screw loose in his head for choosing to help Jocelyn.
He gave the letter to Jocelyn. If he ever meddled with Jocelyn’s matters again, he would use his brain as a football!
He looked at Jocelyn mockingly. “What do you think? If it wasn’t for getting this letter from
Michael, I wouldn’t let Lily marry Chad. Did you think that the Jones family agreed to marry Lily for nothing? This wedding was a part of my grand plan, did you know that? Jocelyn!”
