was later. Skyler was in a tepid relationship with Josie for a few years and he hyped her to the admiration
of everyone in the jewelry industry.
He even… He even planned to marry her in the end as compensation.
It was a pity that she was never content. She wanted fame, fortune, status, and his love. She wanted too
much, and naturally; he could not give it to her. Skyler also knew that Abel told him to stay away from
Jocelyn because Jocelyn would be the next Josie.
However, how was that possible? Jocelyn and Josie were completely different.
Before this, Skyler did not know what emotions were until he met Jocelyn. From when he asked Jocelyn

Plus, the reason why he was still tolerant towards Josie was just because of what happened in the past.
He hoped Josie would not exhaust his patience again.
At seven o’clock in the evening, Jocelyn and Lexie appeared at the entrance of the May First Hotel
The two got out of the car one after another, and the doorman took the car keys before going to park the
car.
Jocelyn was wearing a white professional suit and Lexie was wearing a retro black dress. Then, the two
walked toward the hotel lobby.
Lexie looked at Jocelyn with some worry. “What if Snow comes too?”
Jocelyn’s eyes flashed with coldness. “It’s fine. I found Howard as my boyfriend to clear the relationship
back then, and now, I already have a marriage certificate. Do you think I’ll be scared if she says I am
pestering Walter? “Besides, who are they? One is the daughter of a jewelry empire, and the other is the
heir of the Keele family. I have self-awareness and I won’t have any wishful thinking. Plus, it’s all over,
don’t worry, it’s not a problem,” Jocelyn mocked herself and curled her lips.
Lexie glanced at her helplessly. “Jocelyn, can I tell you that the more nervous you are, the more you
talk?”

Jocelyn’s face froze. Her expression was slightly embarrassed, and her voice sounded a little unnatural.
“We’re best friends so please show me some respect and don’t tear me down so readily.” Lexiè nodded.
Then, she reached out and shook Jocelyn’s hand. “It’s okay, no matter what the situation is, I will always
be with you.” After they took a few steps, they saw a graceful figure walking over. The other party was
wearing a light green toga dress, making her look innocent and charming. Lexie raised her chin slightly.
“Jocelyn, that’s Renee from the same major as you.”
Jocelyn turned a blind eye. “Don’t pay attention to her.” Jocelyn was at odds with Renee back when they
went to school. If she went over to talk to her now, she would be courting trouble.
However, even if she did not want to court trouble, the other party liked to create trouble. Renee swayed
her hips and walked quickly in front of Jocelyn to block her. “Hey, isn’t this Jocelyn? You’ve never
attended any of our parties after graduating for two years, so why did you come to the alumni party
today? Is it because Mr. Keele is back so you want to curry favor? Too bad, he’s engaged.”
The hotel’s reception was at one side, but Renee ignored it completely and continued to insult Jocelyn
like there was no one around them.
Jocelyn had a close relationship with Walter back then but then she was warned by his fiancé.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot a lot of people knew about this, but Renee was one of them who knew.
Jocelyn had an unpleasant expression on her face. “Renee, move out of the way. I don’t want to spew
nonsense with you.”
Renee scoffed, “What? You didn’t get to be his girlfriend in the past two years, and you still want to try
now? Do you seriously think Mr. Keele has dumbed down after two years abroad and will fancy you
again?”
Jocelyn’s face turned pale. She was always fearless. However, this was her weakness and also her
privacy that no one knew.
Since this had indeed happened in the past, she did not know how to retort when others scolded her.
She did like Walter, and it was an undeniable truth. Even if she had no idea Walter had a fiancé back
then, she could not deny the fact that she did fall for a man with a fiancé. People always said that the
ones who erred unknowingly needed not be held responsible, but Jocelyn felt that she needed to be held
responsible. –
She should not fall for Walter back then. After Renee said that she saw Jocelyn lowering her eyes and
did not say anything. She immediately covered her lips and started cackling sarcastically. “Say, Jocelyn,
you’re so hilarious. Do you seriously think that way? I’m going to die from laughter.” Lexie directly took a
step forward. She was filled with evil tendencies, and she wanted to rip Renee’s mouth off her face.
At this moment, a clear but cold voice sounded, “What are you guys doing?”
