Chapter 27

Chapter 27 A sense of indignance filled Yvie’s heart when she heard the discussion going on among theemployees in the design department. These evil people did not know what a nice person Jocelyn was.Jocelyn picked up her phone in the stairway. She spoke to Michael expressionlessly, “Hello, is thereanything that you need?” Michael huffed coldly. “What’s wrong? Are you not even going to bother callingme your father now?”

Chills erupted in Jocelyn’s heart when she heard his voice. She replied in a sarcastic tone, “Are therefathers that drug their own daughter and try to gift them to other people?” Michael choked when herecalled everything that had happened last night. There was an uneasy expression on his face as heasked, “Jocelyn, what’s the relationship between you and Skyler Moore?”

“Does this have anything to do with you?” Jocelyn asked in a harsh tone. “Are you not afraid that I’dtouch your uncle’s company?” Michael’s voice was laced with a sense of threat.

Jocelyn scoffed and said, “If you think that you can win over Skyler Moore, be my guest!” Michaelremained silent for a few seconds before speaking. “It seems like Skyler was telling the truth last night.Did both of you get married?” Jocelyn remained silent with a heavy expression on her face. Michael didnot continue pestering her about it either. “Alright, let’s not talk about other things. You should withdrawthe charges that you’ve filed against Lily now!” Michael spoke to her in a confident tone. It was as if hewas sure that Jocelyn would definitely withdraw the charges that she had filed against Lily.

Jocelyn felt beyond repulsed. “Why should I withdraw the charges? She plagiarized my work. Shouldn’tshe be punished for what she’s done?”

Michael remained nonchalant as he said, “Do you think that the netizens would think so? Do you thinkthat Skyler Moore will help you? No matter how powerful he is, he can’t change the minds of so manypeople, right?”

Jocelyn was so disgusted by his words that her lips started trembling. She clenched her fingers aroundher phone tightly. Michael added, “Don’t expect Skyler Moore to help you. Let me tell you what’s going tohappen. You forced Lily to attempt suicide. Even if you win the lawsuit against her, you won’t gainanything. At most, everyone will think that you’re cold and ruthless. Besides, if you don’t withdraw yourcharges, I’ll release the news about your marriage with Skyler Moore as soon as you win the lawsuit!What will everyone think about you? They’ll only think that you’re abusing your power to bully Lily!”

Jocelyn was so angry that she felt her innards hurting. “Aren’t you afraid that I’d post everything that yousaid online?”

Michael did not seem to care. “Post it. What can you show by doing that? I’m just trying to persuade youto withdraw the charges against Lily. As a father, I’m just trying to help you and your sister make amendswith each other. Do you think the netizens will take your side?

“Also, don’t think that you’re the only one that knows how to take audio recordings! I know how to do thattoo. I can prove that you’ve married Skyler Moore through this conversation alone. If you don’t want tolose your reputation, you’d better think this through!” Not only did Michael disregard her relationship withSkyler, but he even used it to threaten Jocelyn in return.

Jocelyn did not expect Michael to be completely on Lily’s side. She hung up on the call with a heavyexpression on her face.

It was not forbidden for her marriage with Skyler to be revealed to the public, but it cannot be done soright now!

Lily White had just attempted to commit suicide. She had just won over everyone’s sympathy. If the newsof her marriage broke out, everyone would think that she was abusing her power to make things hard forLily!

At the same time, something happened in the hospital. Lily received a call from Howard.

“Lily White, you b*tch! How dare you blame everything on me?!”

Lily rolled her eyes and looked at her freshly manicured nails as she said, “Your reputation is completelyruined now. It won’t affect you much if I blame it all on you, right? Besides, aren’t we husband and wife?Can’t you share some of my burden?”

“Let’s get a divorce. I want to get a divorce right now. You’re a toxic b*tch!” “Hah!” Lily scoffed and said,“If I’m a toxic b*tch, what are you? You tried to ditch me as soon as something happened. Since youwere so cruel toward me, I had no choice but to take drastic measures. Otherwise, how can I be a matchfor you?’

Howard was outraged. “Lily White, just wait. I won’t let you have a good ending. Don’t you like acting likea pure and innocent young girl? I’ll show everyone your true face!”

Lily’s heart lurched. She had been together with Howard for two years. He must have something on her.

If Howard attacked her online in return, would her entire plan not go to waste? Her gaze flashed as shesniffled in an upset manner. Her attitude instantly changed completely. “Howard, I have no other choice.Jocelyn has married Skyler Moore. It’s easy for her to destroy me with Skyler’s power. I didn’t want toblame everything on you, but she still insists on suing me. I’ve been forced to the brink of desperation.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried to commit suicide!”

Lily’s voice grew whiny as she spoke.

Howard froze in shock “What did you say? Jocelyn and Skyler Moore are married? What nonsense areyou spouting?!” Jealousy flashed across Jocelyn’s gaze as she said, “If that weren’t the case, did youthink that I’d try to commit suicide that easily?”

Howard was stunned. His expression changed as he hung up on the call at once. He then dialedJocelyn’s number.

Nobody picked up the call even after he called a few times.

The design department of Prosperity Jewelry.

Jocelyn hung up on Michael’s call in disgust. As soon as she walked into the design department, sheheard Yvie arguing with the other employees in the department from a distance away.

“What gives all of you the right to talk about Miss White that way? She’s not the kind of person thatyou’re making her out to be!” Yvie’s face was flushed with rage.

Fiona scoffed and said, “If she isn’t that kind of person, would she have been able to force her own sisterto the point of desperation that she attempted to commit suicide? How long have you known her? Whyare you taking her side?” After speaking, she added in a meaningful tone, “Besides, even if you’re tryingto butter up someone, you need to do it to the right person!”
