Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Jocelyn turned around immediately and caught sight of Skyler protecting her behind his back. He then cast an icy look at Abel. Abel did not let go of Jocelyn’s arm. Abel was stunned when he noticed Skyler.

He then scoffed, “Moore the Second, why are you involved in everything? Does my relationship with Lil Sis have anything to do with you?” Skyler cast a hateful glance at Abel’s hand on Jocelyn’s arm. “Let go of her!”

Abel’s smile faded. “What if I don’t let go of her?”

Skyler grabbed Jocelyn’s other arm. “Don’t blame me for what I’ll do to you!” Abel looked at him in a nonchalant manner. “Really? I’d like to see what you’d do to me!” Skyler’s oppressive aura heightened as he reached out to grab the hand that Abel had wrapped around Jocelyn’s arm. He then tried to pry his hand off her. Some reporters looked over when they noticed the tension between the two of them.

Jocelyn frowned and said, “Both of you are hurting my arms!” Both men instantly let go of her arms.

Jocelyn withdrew her arms at once. There was an unpleasant look on her face. “Please continue arguing if you want to. Just don’t get me involved. I don’t want everyone to watch me like I’m a circus performer!”

Jocelyn retreated a few steps after speaking. Skyler’s gaze grew heavier. He remained silent as he flung Abel’s hand away and took out his handkerchief. He wiped his hands all over carefully. It was as if Abel was full of dirt. Abel’s lips twitched as he huffed coldly. He turned around to look at Jocelyn. His gaze flashed as he recalled how Jocelyn had removed herself from the situation and left at the rooftop of the hospital last evening. He glanced at Jocelyn in amusement as an excited glint flashed in his eyes. “Lil Sis, I won’t force you if you don’t want to celebrate with me. However, you should really consider joining Glory Jewelry. I’m way easier to deal with than Moore the Second. I don’t restrict employees from making friends, and neither do I force them to line up. I’m an extremely kind boss.” Skyler’s expression darkened instantly. Jocelyn had an icy expression on her face as she told him, “Thank you for your kindness.

However, I have no intentions of changing companies right now!” Jocelyn walked to the side of her car.

She looked at Skyler, who had a heavy expression on his face. “Excuse me, President Moore. I need to leave!” Skyler cast a heavy glance at her. He then turned around and walked toward his own car.

Jocelyn got into her car and drove off.

Skyler’s car drove away as well.

Abel smirked, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He muttered to himself, “It’s a pity for a talent like that to be by Moore the Second’s side!” As soon as Jocelyn drove into the car park of Prosperity Jewelry, Skyler’s car stopped beside her. Jocelyn recalled what had just happened outside the court. She felt that she should explain herself.

When Skyler got down his car, he saw Jocelyn walking toward him calmly. There was a serious expression on her face as she said, “President Moore, things aren’t like what you witnessed between Abel and me just now. Before the trial, he took the initiative to help me get out of trouble. After the trial, I didn’t bother him, but he insisted on chasing me out to ask me to celebrate…”

Before she could finish speaking, Skyler interrupted her coldly. “I know that!”

Jocelyn gaped and looked at Skyler with a disconcerted expression on her face. She did not seem to understand his reaction.

He had told her to keep her distance from Abel last night.

Nevertheless, Abel kept following her around today. She wanted to explain things to Skyler since she thought that he would be displeased about it.

However, he did not expect Skyler to react in such a manner. There was a heavy expression on Skyler’s face. He glanced at Jocelyn and said, “Yale told me about it!”

After speaking, he walked toward the elevator straight away.

Jocelyn came to her senses at once. Was he implying that he knew what had happened?

Did he come over to help her out just now?

Jocelyn never dared to expect anything from Skyler. As soon as she had such a thought about him, she shook her head and stopped thinking about it at once. Jocelyn walked toward the elevator. Just then, she heard someone calling out to her. Yvie caught up with her as soon as she turned around. “Jocelyn, I heard that you won the lawsuit?”

Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes!”

Yvie looked so overjoyed that it seemed like she was the one who had won the lawsuit instead. “My cousin…”

She had just spoken out loud when she saw Skyler in the president’s elevator. She then said something else at once. “Director Claude has arrived. He’s in the design department. He said that he wanted to get an overlook of the jewelry design process.”

Skyler clearly heard what she said. He suddenly raised his head to look over at them with a heavy expression on his face.

For some reason, Jocelyn looked at him instinctively as well.

Their gazes met as the elevator doors gradually closed.

Yvie noticed that Jocelyn was not saying anything. She then touched her arm and asked, ” Jocelyn, why aren’t you saying anything?” Jocelyn returned to her senses. “Oh, I heard what you said. Let’s go. Since Director Claude is here, we shouldn’t let him wait for long!”

111 They both walked into the design department. Jocelyn saw Zayn sitting in the guest room from afar.

He sat there quietly like a statue. He looked as delicate as a drawing.

Jocelyn walked to the door of the guest room and was just about to push the door open when her phone rang loudly.
