Chapter 117
Zayn was surprised. “How could your injury have anything to do with this?” Jocelyn sighed helplessly. “You know that none of the White family have anything to do with Prosperity Jewelry except me. But Lily wants to marry Chad so she can only look to me for a solution. My father threatened me with a letter my mother left me to make me beg Skyler to let Lily into Prosperity Jewelry!”
Jocelyn looked a little frazzled. “I really had no other choice. It’s likely the Jones family is hesitating, they don’t know which family to marry Chad into. My father has been urging me to ask Skyler for help and he has been very persistent. Moreover, with how Skyler is, how could he let Lily, a person with a bad reputation, join the company? I figured I couldn’t ask him. I really have no choice but to choose the awful decision of going back to the White Mansion to steal the letter!”
Zayn frowned fiercely. “So, you hurt your ankle when you went back to the White Mansion to get them?”
Jocelyn nodded. “My father returned the moment I got my hand on the things. I had brought Lexie with me at that time and I didn’t want my father to see her and end up getting her into trouble. We both came down from the second floor through the window. I was halfway over the window and was already panicking when the sound of my father unlocking the lock startled me. I fell down and sprained my foot!”
Zayn looked at her, there was some hurt in his eyes. “Did you manage to get your letter?” Speaking of this, Jocelyn was a little disappointed. “Nope! I got an empty envelope, my father had taken away the contents!” Zayn was even more distressed. Who would have thought that with Jocelyn’s injury, her efforts had still been in vain? He was about to comfort Jocelyn when his cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Lynn calling, darkness flashed across his eyes. Although he sympathized with Lynn’s situation, he was disgusted at the thought that he was the one who Lynn had initially been scheming around. His gaze darkened as he answered the call and the expression on his jade-like face did not look like something human. Lynn’s voice sounded like she was crying. “Zayn, I’m going to marry Chad. I won’t bother you anymore after this. You can rest assured that I will no longer pester you!”
Zayn frowned. “Did something happen?”
Lynn was sorrowful “I’m pregnant. I’m going to get my marriage license with Chad tomorrow! I want to see you. Where are you?”
Zayn’s expression changed slightly. “You’re pregnant?” Lynn laughed at herself and began to cry. “Yes, I’m pregnant. Now the entire Mauve City
knows about Chad and me. He is a nuisance, yet my parents want me to marry him!” Zayn pursed his lips. “This is your own issue!” Lynn sobbed sadly. “Zayn, you are so heartless!” Zayn said nothing. Lynn was so heartbroken she could die. She had liked this person for so long yet things ended up like this. Lynn said through tears, “Zayn, I wish to see you for the last time, can I?” A light flashed through Zayn’s eyes. He answered, “I’m at the hospital!” “Then, I’ll come to look for you now!” Lynn answered quickly. Zayn hung up the call.
He knew that Lynn would definitely come over.
He turned around and looked at Jocelyn. “Jocelyn, things have changed!” Jocelyn looked at him with surprise. Zayn answered her questions. “Lynn is pregnant. The Quirrel family has asked Chad to take responsibility. They will be getting their marriage license tomorrow. As long as the marriage between Chad and Lily goes through, your father should not pressure you too much. Although this won’t solve the problem at its root, it will somehow delay it!” Jocelyn did not expect such a turning point. She pursed her lips and asked after a long pause,” She’s pregnant so soon?” Hearing this, Zayn chuckled. “We can find out in a week or so!” Jocelyn was embarrassed. “Thank you anyway!” Zayn smiled and shook his head. “You’re welcome. You saved me before. It’s nothing!”
“But it was Lily who caused your injury! Moreover, Lily retaliated against you because you helped me online! At the end of the day, it was still my fault!” Jocelyn was very embarrassed when she thought of
this. “You’re not the same as her!” Zayn looked at Jocelyn with a smile in his eyes. Outside the door, Skyler’s gaze was dark. He looked at Zayn through the crack of the door, his lips curved upward sarcastically. Could this actually solve the problem at its roots? His gaze sell on Jocelyn’s swollen ankle, there was a trace of heartache in his heart that he could not even notice.
Thinking of what Jocelyn had just said, Skyler suddenly came to a realization, no wonder Yale had not been able to find out anything about what happened to Jocelyn after he had gotten him to investigate her the entire day. Michael had been threatening her with something.
His gaze sank. He recalled that he had warned Michael not to lay a finger on Jocelyn again or he would no longer be courteous! Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Unexpectedly, Michael turned a deaf ear to his words. In that case, he would not hold back
His phone vibrated then. Yale was calling. Skyler did not want Jocelyn to know that he was here and hurriedly grabbed his phone and walked away.
Expression dark, he answered the call. “What is it?”
Yale’s voice was tense. “President Moore, we caught them!”
