Chapter 179
Jocelyn’s gaze darkened. “You don’t have to do that!”
“Then will you attend the alumni reunion party?” Walter’s voice was still in that same gentle tone.
Jocelyn squeezed her eyes shut, exasperated. “Fine, I’ll come!”
He did not force her to attend, but he was forcing everyone else to accommodate her. Jocelyn could not
accept that, so she had no choice but to agree to attend the reunion party.
He knew that she was not willing to let other people be affected because of her.
Walter sounded pleased again. “I knew that there was no way Jo would reject me. I want to see you
again!”
Jocelyn did not know how to reply, and her voice came out awkwardly. “I’m going to bed now, I’ll see you
at the reunion party!” Walter hung up the call reluctantly. When Skyler saw that she had hung up the call,
he looked at her with a neutral expression.” Who was that?”
Jocelyn sat across from him timidly and answered truthfully. “A senior!”
His expression darkened slightly. “Why did he call you?”
Jocelyn did not like how he was talking to her like she was a prisoner being interrogated. She frowned.
“He was asking me if I was attending the alumni reunion!”
Skyler’s expression was cold and a look flashed across his eyes. However, he could sense that Jocelyn
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas unhappy so he did not continue questioning her.
At that moment, he could not explain what he felt. He was also no longer in the mood to explain what
happened between him and Rhode because he could tell that Jocelyn did not want to know.
In the past, the warnings and rebuffs he made to Jocelyn were due to his dislike. Now, all the
apprehension and unease he felt toward her were because he liked her. Jocelyn glanced at him. It was
obvious that Skyler was unhappy.
She did not know why he is now upset.
However, when she recalled how Skyler rushed forward to block the attack, she felt her heart soften. She
decided to relent and speak first. “What were you trying to tell me, Mr. Moore?”
He glanced at her. “Forget it!”
Jocelyn looked a little awkward.
She thought for a moment, then inhaled, pursed her lips, and said, “Mr. Moore, no matter what, I still owe
you my gratitude. You saved me twice in a day. I’m truly…”
Skyler’s expression darkened immediately. “Besides thanking me, do you have nothing else to
say?”
Jocelyn looked at him in confusion. “Huh?”
Skyler could see that Jocelyn was nice to him because he saved her.
However, he wanted more than this!
He felt irritated. “Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that the only reason I saved you was that I didn’t wish
to see a woman get humiliated and hurt before me. Don’t read too much into it. This is what a real man
should do. There’s no need to keep thanking me. There’s no need at
all!”
With that, Skyler got up and walked off to the master bedroom. Jocelyn frowned, feeling a little
depressed. She did not understand where his anger came from. The next day, Skyler was gone by the
time she woke up.
She brought Lexie along with her and arrived at the banquet at around 9:30 in the morning.
She accompanied Lexie to the washroom. The moment Lexie entered the cubicle, an uninvited guest
rushed into the washroom. “How are you feeling, Miss White? I heard that your allergies were pretty
severe!” Yuni looked at her, putting on an act of concern.
Jocelyn said plainly, “I’m fine, can’t you tell?”
Yuni could tell that Jocelyn was in no mood to entertain her. She laughed dryly but didn’t leave. Instead,
she continued, “I heard your best friend came to Greene City as well, Miss White.”
Jocelyn gave her an icy look. “What are you trying to say, Miss Shaw?” Davis and Yuni had picked up
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLexie together, and yet Yuni was still putting on an act. Jocelyn did not know what her ulterior motives
were.
Yuni tittered unnaturally. “Oh, don’t be so defensive, Miss White. I’m just scared you’ll get conned!”
She then lowered her voice and whispered, “Perhaps you’re not aware, but Davis does have feelings for
Lexie!”
She looked at Jocelyn as she spoke, wagging her brows.
In the past, whenever Yuni spoke to Davis, Jocelyn would look displeased.
So, naturally, she thought that Jocelyn had feelings for Davis. That was why she was treating Jocelyn
this way.
That day at the airport, when Davis had chased after Lexie, Yuni was humiliated. She felt extremely
dissatisfied!
However, she could tell that Lexie liked Davis too!
Yuni had made up a whole scenario in her head. These two best friends were both interested in Davis.
The reason she was here today was to tell Jocelyn about Lexie’s feelings toward Davis. She did not think
she would bump into her in the restroom.
She could not wait to start a fight between them! The tale of two best friends turning into enemies
because they liked the same guy. How exciting!
Jocelyn looked at Yuni coldly. “So?” Yuni’s gaze was filled with excitement. ‘I knew it! She got angry after
all! Look, even her tone turned cold!
