Chapter 41
Jocelyn followed Skyler. She felt rather anxious.
She did not expect to meet Skyler’s enemy so soon. His enemy had even used her to provoke Skyler since she was his person.
Everyone in Mauve City knew that Skyler was the king of jewelry in Mauve City. He was the top figure in the jewelry industry. However, not many people knew about his background. Everyone only knew that he had appeared six years ago and brought Prosperity Jewelry all the way to the peak. Some people had tried to sabotage him in the dark whereas some others had offended him. However, it was said that all these people were finally met with terrible deaths.
Throughout the years, nothing happened to Skyler despite how much trouble he got into. Some people said that there was a powerful and mysterious force behind him. After that, more people started fearing him.
Just then, a sarcastic laugh rang out. “Skyler, you came out so quickly!”
Skyler said coldly, “I don’t need any time to defeat trash like you!”
Jocelyn’s lips twitched. She did not say anything.
Jim titled his head and glanced at Jocelyn, who was standing behind Skyler. A shocked expression appeared on his face. “Tsk tsk tsk, it’s no wonder Skyler drove so quickly. Miss White is really gorgeous!”
Jocelyn pressed her lips together awkwardly.
Just then, Lexie whispered, “Thank you for helping me to bring Jocelyn out. Can we leave now?”
Jocelyn walked over from behind Skyler at once. “Lexie!”
There was a worried and complicated glint in Lexie’s eyes when she saw Jocelyn
Jocelyn walked over and stood beside Lexie. “President Moore, thank you for everything today!”
Skyler raised his brow and glanced at her. His gaze flashed as he said, “It’s fine. Abel was making things hard for you because of me!” Jocelyn nodded and said, “We’ll leave first then!”
Skyler hummed and turned around to walk toward his own room.
Jim started to panic. He glanced at Jocelyn and Lexie, who had just left. He then chased after Skyler in exasperation. “Skyler, aren’t you going to invite them in to sit down?” Skyler shouted coldly, “There’s no need to do so!” Jim took a liking to Lexie because she seemed as innocent as a rabbit. No other woman had ever managed to pique his interest that way!
He could not help but complain about it. “You had a girlfriend in the past. Can’t you be a
gentleman and send the ladies back home?!”
Skyler cast a sideways glance at him and said, “Don’t develop ulterior motives toward her!”
Jim froze and asked, “Who are you referring to?” Skyler spoke out at once, “Jocelyn White!”
Jim did not expect Skyler to say so. Although he was interested in Lexie, he still wanted to test out Skyler’s thoughts.
He smirked and said, “Why? You need to give me a reason. She looks rather pretty. She’s my
type!”
Skyler frowned unhappily and pushed the door of the room open. “She’s my wife!”
Jim could not wrap his mind around things. He had a stunned expression on his face as he asked, “What do you mean?”
Skyler looked at him like he was a fool. He sat down on the sofa and spoke up slowly, “Jocelyn White is my wife. Stop thinking about her that way!” Jim was beyond shocked. “F*ck! Are you kidding me?” Skyler held a cup of whiskey in his hand as he leaned back against the sofa lazily. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
Although he did not want to talk about his relationship, it was an undeniable fact that he had a marriage certificate with Jocelyn White!
Jim calmed down after a while. “Tsk…don’t mention it. After thinking it through, it really seems like the case. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be treating another woman so nicely for no reason!”
Skyler hummed in affirmation without saying anything.
Jim had a nosy expression on his face. “What about Josie? Are you guys over?” Skyler raised his brow and glanced at him. “What else do you expect?”
Jim laughed when he saw Skyler’s expression. “Don’t worry, I was teasing you just now! I have no interest in your wife. Her best friend has caught my eye instead!”
Skyler huffed and ignored him. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Anyways, this was how Skyler usually acted in front of Jim. Jim had long been used to this side of Skyler!
Jocelyn left the room with Lexie.
Jocelyn was worried when she saw how disconcerted Lexie was. “Aren’t you going to continue looking?”
Lexie shook her head in disappointment. “I’m not going to look for it. I might have mistaken things. After all, it isn’t the first time something like this has happened!”
Jocelyn’s heart broke after hearing what Lexie said.
Lexie suddenly asked, “Skyler Moore…is your husband?” Jocelyn froze and said, “Yes, he’s the one that I got a marriage certificate with!”
Lexie told her honestly, “He’s really tall and handsome! Any woman would love to marry him at first sight!”
Jocelyn did not know what to say in response. She wanted to make Lexie happy, so she simply said, “Yes, he’s rather tall. His legs are extremely long!”
