Chapter 163
Giada extended her pointer finger and gestured for her father to keep quiet. “Father, keep it down!”
She picked up Abel’s phone and realized that the screen was still lit up. The screen showed Abel’s chat with Jocelyn.
Giada skimmed through the page rapidly and memorized all the key details. A cruel gaze flashed across her eyes.
Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out from upstairs. She placed Abel’s phone back in its original position, turned around, and sat down while acting as if nothing had happened.
Abel çame downstairs and spoke in a cold tone, “Uncle, I’ll ask the servants to prepare some food if you feel like eating something. As for the collaboration, I’m sorry for not being able to do anything about it!” He would not work with his uncle anymore. It was time for Giada to learn a lesson!
Shawson’s lips trembled slightly. In the end, he did not manage to say anything. Jocelyn’s flight was at noon on Friday. She arrived at the airport at 10 a.m.
Yuni and Davis had already arrived when she headed over.
Davis and Yuni were chatting in the lounge. Both of them chatted happily. Yuni recalled how Jocelyn had cast a hostile gaze at her when she saw Jocelyn walking over. She purposely raised her voice and spoke to Davis in a friendly tone.
Jocelyn closed her eyes while she rested. She did not intend to bother her.
When Jocelyn saw Davis, she recalled how Skyler had planned to accompany her to Greene City for the competition previously.
However, after that night, she had not seen Skyler for three days.
Jocelyn thought about the scandal between him and Rhode these few days. She pursed her lips as a derisive expression appeared on her face.
Skyler must be overjoyed to be in her arms right now! NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
After a while, her phone suddenly rang.
Jocelyn took out her phone and glanced at it. It was a notification from Mauve City’s news channel. She stiffened after glancing at it.
The headline of the news was “Walter Keene, the eldest son of the Keene family, has returned to the country with his fiancée. Will there be good news soon or is a takeover approaching?”
There was also a photograph of Walter and Snow standing next to each other on the notification
She looked at the time. The photograph should have been taken at the airport earlier today.
Jocelyn recalled what Davis had mentioned previously. He had told her that Walter would be
returning to Mauve City on the day she would be heading off to Greene City.
Does that mean that Walter might be at the airport right now?
She would instinctively feel uncomfortable whenever she saw Walter’s name these two years. She pursed her lips tightly at the thought of Walter probably being within two kilometers of where she was right now. She tightened her grip on her phone as her knuckles turned white.
Davis could sense that something was wrong with Jocelyn. Just then, he saw the news about Walter returning to the country
He thought about how Jocelyn had mentioned that she was not feeling well. He could not help but ask, “Jocelyn, are you alright?”
Jocelyn shook her head and said, “I’m fine!”
Davis tried to say something. He wanted to ask her a few more questions, but Jocelyn got up and said, “I’ll head to the restroom!”
Jocelyn left in a hurry after speaking.
When she arrived at the restroom, she walked into a cubicle and opened the water tap. She washed her face with cold water. She instantly felt much more clear-headed…
She dried her face, turned around, and went to dry her hands.
She then heard a woman walking out of a cubicle. She chuckled while talking to someone else on the phone. “Those reporters are really fast. They’ve already posted our photographs online!”
The person on the other end said something, and the woman’s laugh faded. “Walter, didn’t we agree on this before returning to the country? I don’t want us to argue over these things ever again, alright?”
Jocelyn stiffened the moment she heard his name.
She could guess who the woman on the other end of the call was without even turning around.
It was Walter’s fiancée, Snow Sonnet!”
She quickly moved her hands away from under the hand dryer and walked out of the toilet with frantic steps. Her gait seemed rather disoriented.
Jocelyn’s lips twitched after she came out of the toilet.
She did not expect herself to run away without even seeing Snow’s face two years later. What a joke!
Including the past two years that she had not seen Walter, she had already known him for seven years.
However, she only knew that he had a fiancée in the fifth year.
She got to know Walter when she was thirteen years old. Back then, Grace had already passed away a few years. She was still in senior high, and Walter was already in university. He did his Master’s degree consecutively after his bachelor’s degree. He was already a Master’s student then.
Michael treated her extremely badly during that period of time. She felt extremely aggrieved, but she never knew the reason why he treated her that way. Back then, she always got bullied by gangsters on the way back from school. When a group of gangsters tried causing her trouble one time, Walter stood up to help her. He taught the gangsters a lesson for her and told her that she had to learn how to protect herself first if she did not want others to bully her. After that, she ran into Walter a few times on that street. As time went on, they got closer to each other.
Walter thought her how to fight and play pool. He brought her out to have fun as well.
She had started falling in love at the young age of thirteen. Back then, Jocelyn treated Walter as the hero that saved her from danger. She fell in love with him without any hesitation.
However, he was just like a bright moon in the sky that could be seen but never reached. Jocelyn kept her feelings to herself cautiously. A year later, she started majoring in jewelry design like Walter after she got admitted into Mauve City University, the same university that Walter was studying at. Both of them got
closer and closer as well.
Walter’s fiancée, Snow, returned to the country when Jocelyn was about to graduate from university. Her appearance disrupted all the peace.
Snow found out about the crush that Jocelyn had secretly and cautiously harbored for Walter and told her many mean words.
Back then, Jocelyn was just eighteen years old. When her crush on Walter was exposed, she was thrown into a state of disgrace!
She had fallen for a man with a fiancée. That was no different from being an intruder in someone else’s relationship.
Grace had passed away in rage due to Yennis’s appearance in her relationship with Michael. Jocelyn had never expected herself to be in such a position one day as well.
She then decided to ask Howard to be her fake boyfriend without hesitation. After that, she completely cut ties with Walter Keene!
Walter then left the country together with Snow. She stopped recalling her memories. Jocelyn laughed in a self-mocking manner. Everything was in the past. There was nothing worth reminiscing about now!
She walked toward the lounge as she thought about this.
However, she had just taken a few steps forward when someone walked toward her. Jocelyn’s mind went blank when she got a clear view of that person’s face. She was completely stunned.
