Chapter 29

Howard turned around in rage. “D*mn it! Who dares to f*cking…”

He turned around and was met with the sight of Skyler Moore’s expressionless face. He instantly chokedon his words.

Jocelyn started acting slightly unnaturally when she spotted Skyler. “You…why are you here?” Skylerglanced at Jocelyn and said curtly, “I’m here to eat!”

After speaking, he flung off Howard’s arm and took out his handkerchief from the pocket of his businesssuit. He wiped his fingers slowly as if there were some dirt on them.

An unpleasant expression appeared on Howard’s face.

Trei

The corners of Jocelyn’s lips twitched uncontrollably a few times. He threw his handkerchief into therubbish bin and pulled Jocelyn behind him protectively. He raised his head lazily and glanced at Howard.“How do you know that I married Jocelyn?”

He caught sight of Howard and Jocelyn having an argument from the distance when he came over tohave lunch. Howard was spouting terrible words with an evil expression on his face. He was also tellingJocelyn that he would expose her marriage with him.

Skyler simply found it funny that his marriage had become something that could be used as a threat tosomeone else! Howard looked at Skyler and immediately hesitated. “Lily…Lily White told me that!” Skylernarrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, “Then do you think that I’ll be threatened by this incident?”

Howard looked at Skyler in a cowardly manner and remained silent.

Just then, Yale finally caught up with Skyler. He whispered in Skyler’s ear, “President Moore, Lily Whitetried to commit suicide earlier. She’s trending online because of this. She mentioned that she’s MissJocelyn’s biological sister. She also mentioned that she got tricked by Howard and she didn’t know thathe was cheating on her. She was also oblivious to the plagiarism. She made everything sound like itmade sense. She has won all the netizens’ sympathy now. They all think that Miss Jocelyn is cold andruthless since she insists on forcing Lily to the brink of desperation. If everyone knows that about MissJocelyn being married to you, they’ll definitely think that Miss Jocelyn is abusing her power to bully LilyWhite!”

Skyler raised his brow and looked at him with an icy expression on his face. “Why didn’t you tell meabout this previously?”

Yale shrugged and spoke in a lowered voice, “Didn’t you tell me not to mention anything about MissJocelyn in front of you today?” Jocelyn glanced at Skyler in shock Skyler immediately recalled what hehad said in the morning. An unnatural expression

appeared on his face. “Alright, I got it. I’ll handle this!”

After speaking, he glanced at Jocelyn and said, “You should continue eating!” Jocelyn glanced at himhesitantly. Skyler raised his brow. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to eat?”

Jocelyn immediately shook her head. “No!”

Skyler raised his eyelids lazily and cast a glance at her. “Continue eating then!” Jocelyn remained rootedto the spot stubbornly. She held her neck up high and said, “I won’t withdraw the charges!”

Skyler found it rather funny. “Who asked you to withdraw the charges? If you withdraw the charges, thatwill mean that Prosperity Jewelry is going against its word! I won’t allow something like that to happen!”

After hearing his words, Jocelyn let out a sigh of relief. Her gaze instantly lit up as she said, ” Thank you!”

After speaking, she smiled and turned around. She then ran toward the restaurant. Skyler was stunned.He seemed to have seen stars in Jocelyn’s eyes just now. Yale stole a glance at Skyler and said,“President Moore…”

Skyler returned to his senses. He glanced at Yale and moved his gaze onto Howard’s face. “If you wantto protect Oasis Jewelry, come with me!”

Howard froze and followed after him at once. Jocelyn returned to the design department after havinglunch. She realized that everyone in the department was silent. Nobody was discussing the topic thatthey had been talking about in the afternoon.

She raised her brow in shock. As soon as she sat down, Yvie walked over quietly and whispered,“Jocelyn, look at Twitter! The company released a statement!”. Jocelyn’s gaze flashed. She was slightlyshocked. She opened Twitter and saw the statement that Prosperity Jewelry had just posted.@ProsperityJewelry : Prosperity Jewelry sympathizes with Miss Lily White’s condition after sheattempted to commit suicide. However, plagiarism is unacceptable in the jewelry industry. ProsperityJewelry will not withdraw their charges against Miss Lily White on behalf of Miss Jocelyn White! Thisstatement must have been posted when Skyler found out about Lily’s suicide attempt. There werealready thousands of comments beneath the post. The opinions of the netizens were mainly split into twogroups. On one side, the netizens felt that the statement by Prosperity Jewelry made a lot of sense.Regardless of everything, plagiarism should not be accepted in any way. People should be punished fortheir wrongdoings. Even a child knew such things. Why did so many people not understand this logic?

Meanwhile, another side mentioned that Jocelyn White must have influenced Prosperity Jewelry’sdecision not to withdraw their charges. Jocelyn White was the victim. She was not willing to forgive Lily,and she would only stop when Lily died.

Humans were emotional beings. The majority of netizens took Lily’s side due to their sympathy towardher. Besides, it seemed like some people were taking the lead in altering public opinion.

After a while, the topic, “Jocelyn White should withdraw charges now”, started trending online. Everyoneseemed to view Jocelyn as an evil and ruthless person right now. They called her a heartless animalthrough the computer screen.

Although Jocelyn had prepared herself for it mentally a long time ago, she still felt extremelyuncomfortable after seeing all these comments.

Jocelyn scrolled through Twitter for a while and got tired of it after a while. She then closed theapplication.

At the same time, Lily received a call from Howard. “Lily White, I’m at the hospital entrance right now.Come out. Let’s sign the divorce agreement!” Lily frowned and said, “I slit my wrist. I’m hospitalized rightnow. Don’t you know that?” Howard immediately cursed at her. “Did you slit your f*cking wrist or ankle?”
