Chapter 31 They Were So Shrewd


    Chapter 31 They Were So Shrewd


    Seeing that Leonard had no way to persuade Jocelyn, Natalia had no choice but to fight in person,


    "Jocelyn, your father is doing it for your own good. Although Mr. Heller is old, he is considerate!


    "If you follow him in the future, you will be able to protect yourself for the rest of your life.


    "It''s not that I dislike you. ording to your current situation, everyone inside and outside the


    entertainment field knows that you went abroad with someone back then.


    "Now that you''re back alone, you definitely won''t be able to return to the glorious state you were five


    years ago. How can any entertainmentpany need you? How can anyone want to marry you?


    "Especially now that you''ve offended Mr. Cloutier, do you think he will let you go?


    "If you follow Mr. Heller, at least Mr. Heller can protect you. You''d better think about it. There won''t


    be such a good chanceter!"


    Jocelyn sneered in her heart. This was the so-called family, who knew she was in trouble, but they


    never tried to help her, instead, they threatened her with this matter.


    They were so shrewd.


    Did they want to make herpromise?


    It''s impossible!


    "Natalia, how much favor does Mr. Heller give you, and you speak for him like this? Or, do you have


    an ulterior rtionship with Mr. Heller?" Jocelyn asked.


    "You... You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I am also doing it for your own good." Natalia


    blushed and she wanted to be mad at her but she held it back.


    "Don''t waste your time. If you think Mr. Heller is good, please leave it to your daughter. If your


    daughter doesn''t want him, you can keep him to yourself. Don''t try to trick me!"


    Jocelyn finished herst sentence, snorted coldly, and went upstairs past Natalia.


    Natalia was really hurt by anger, but she could do nothing with Jocelyn, so she could only turn her


    face andin to her husband, "Leonard, this girl is bing more and more difficult to get


    along with. Listen to what she said. It''s so annoying!"


    Apart from sighing, Leonard also had nothing to do with Jocelyn.


    At that moment, Glenna came down from upstairs. She heard their conversation just now and knew


    that Jocelyn was back, so she had secretly contacted Theresa to spread the news.


    But when she saw Jocelyn, she still pretended to be surprised and said, "Sister! You''re back！


    That''s great! I was missing you and you''re back!"


    Jocelyn ignored Glenna and continued to go upstairs. Glenna happily walked down the stairs, took


    her arm and said, "Our mom knows that you areing back, so she has arranged the room for


    you in advance, and the sheets and quilts are all new. I will apany you to see if you are


    satisfied with these."


    "No." Jocelyn withdrew her hand. She obviously didn''t use much strength, but Glenna screamed


    and fell down the stairs.


    "Ahhh..."


    When Jocelyn turned her head and saw Glenna rolling down the stairs to the ground floor like a


    spinning top, she felt even more contemptuous. She hadn''t seen Glenna for five years and she still


    only knew those tricks. Didn''t she feel bored?


    "Glenna... are you okay? Glenna..."


    Seeing her daughter falling down the stairs, Natalia hurried over to help her and felt extremely


    distressed.


    "Jocelyn! What are you doing? Why are you pushing your sister? You are too much!" Leonard


    shouted angrily.


    "I didn''t push her. She fell down by herself. What does it have to do with me?"


    Jocelyn didn''t show the slightest sympathy and she was like a cold robot without any expression.


    She didn''t want to spend any more feelings on this family, because they were not worth it!


    Glenna was lifted up. Her face was full of grievances and tears were streaming down her face, but


    she did not forget to help Jocelyn exin it, "Dad, Mom, don''t me my sister. She didn''t push me,


    and I just fell down identally."


    The more she exined it like this, the more people felt that she was kind and innocent, and the


    more vicious and cold-blooded Jocelyn seemed.


    "Stop pleading for mercy for your sister. Whether she pushed you, we can see it." Leonard was


    furious and gave Jocelyn a vicious look.


    Natalia put on a kind face and said, "Okay, please don''t say any more. As long as Glenna is fine, we


    can just think that Glenna identally fell."


    Heh, Jocelyn curled her lips coldly. She didn''t want to say anything, so she went straight upstairs


    and didn''t care what the people behind her thought about her.


    Jocelyn''s back disappeared at the corner of the second floor. Natalia downstairs helped her


    daughter to sit on the sofa and Leonard sighed angrily.


    How could there be such a troubling daughter in the family?


    If Jocelyn could be one-tenth as sensible as Glenna, he wouldn''t be so angry!


    While Nataliaforted her husband, she did not forget to give her advice, "In my opinion, if she


    doesn''t agree, we must take coercive action. Didn''t she go upstairs and go back to her room? Let''s


    lock the doorter and not let her go out, then let''s see what she will do. Even if we can''t tell Mr.


    Heller, we can tell Mr. Cloutier. If Mr. Cloutier''s troubles are solved, maybe he can help the Murray


    family."


    "That''s right! What a good idea!"


    Leonard was enlightened and he immediately asked someone to lock the door quietly, making sure


    to keep an eye on Jocelyn.


    Anyway, he had already given up Jocelyn. It''s useless to keep her and it''s better to exchange her for


    the benefit of the Murray family.


    In the upstairs room, when Jocelyn returned to her previous boudoir, she felt a sense of familiarity


    and intimacy, but the furnishings inside had changed a lot.


    All the photos of her and her mother that were on the table before were gone, so it was obvious that


    Natalia had disposed of them.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Jocelyn didn''t have time to think about the past and she didn''t forget that the purpose of hering


    back today was to find a pocket watch.


    Following her past memories, she searched all the ces where the pocket watch might be stored,


    but she found nothing.


    Could it be that she remembered wrongly?


    Didn''t she have a pocket watch?


    Or did they take away the pocket watch too?


    Jocelyn was about to ask Natalia, but she heard the door lock rattle. When she went to pull the


    door, she found that the door was locked from the outside. No matter how hard she tried, she


    couldn''t open it.


    "Open the door! Let me out! Open the door!"


    Jocelyn kept knocking on the door and she clearly heard someone outside, but they just refused to


    open the door for her. She understood that they wanted to lock her up at home, and then they used


    her in exchange for the benefit of the Murray family.


    How could she have such a father?


    If she knew it earlier, she shouldn''t havee back!


    "Open the door! If you don''t open the door again, I will call the police!" Jocelyn stood inside the door


    and shouted warningly.


    Soon, Leonard''s voice finally came from outside, "Jocelyn, stop shouting. If you want to leave, you


    can give me the share agreement that your grandfather left to you back then, and then I will let you


    go."


    It seemed that they were determined to exploit her, right?


    "No! I lost the agreement a long time ago, and I can''t find it!"


    Even if she could find it, she wouldn''t give it to them!


    Hearing what she said, they didn''t open the door for her. They wanted to lock her up for a while and


    wait for Ernest''s people toe.


    Jocelyn thought about it. Sitting and waiting for death was not an option and she had to find a way


    to get out of here quickly.
