Chapter 78 Rebelliousness
Chapter 78 Rebelliousness
Leonard and Natalia exchanged nces in anger. They both thought Jocelyn should leave
Pailworth. If she stayed here, she would only make trouble for the Murray family and damage their
reputation. So, they thought the best solution was to send her abroad.
Natalia put on the face of a caring stepmother and coaxed Jocelyn, saying, "Why can''t you
understand our care and love for you? It is for you and Glenna that we have worked hard all our
lives. Although your grandfather didn''t give you the shares, you are still a member of the Murray
family. Your father will always take care of you. You have such a scandal, and all theizens are
scolding you. Your father just wants you to marry a good husband and clear your name. If you marry
into a wealthy family and lead a peaceful life, we will feel happy for you. I have discussed it with
him. Since you don''t want to get married, we can send you abroad to avoid the chaos. You don''t
need to worry about the money. Can you listen to him this time?"
Natalia''s words sounded sensible and kind. If Jocelyn hadn''t seen her true color, she might fall into
their trap.
How could she have the nerve to say they had worked hard for her and Glenna? It was a ridiculous
lie!
They wanted to take this opportunity to kick her abroad and let her sink or swim all by herself! Sure
enough, the Murray family was cold-blooded. Once she got in trouble, they would drive her away to
preserve their reputation without hesitation.
Hmph! Jocelyn had always been rebellious, so she would not listen to them. After all, she was no
longer a three-year-old child at the mercy of others.
She coldly refused their "kindness", saying, "No! I have just returned, so I will not go abroad for the
time being. Save the money. I''ve made up my mind to work in the entertainment industry. No one
can stop myeback!"
Jocelyn''s words were loud and powerful.
Natalia was so angry that she almost fainted. Leonard also flew into a rage, thinking she was too
wayward and disobedient. So, he banged the table and domineeringly said, "If you enter the
entertainment circle again, you can never return to the Murray family!"
She could never return to the Murray family? Finally, they wanted to disown her!
Jocelyn''s attitude was tougher than Leonard''s when she said, "Fine! I won''te back! I won''t even
attend your funeral!"
"You!"
Leonard was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. When Natalia supported him in time, she
was still pretending to mediate, saying, "Jocelyn, stop talking nonsense. Apologize to your father.
Don''t make him angry. He did everything for your good."
Jocelyn snorted, "I don''t think so! You don''t need to do anything for me. I don''t count on you, so you
should count on me in the future either. I''ve made my points clear, so I''m leaving now!"
Jocelyn did not want to waste any more time on these hypocrites, so she turned to leave.
"Stop, you wicked girl! I will teach you a good lesson today! You''re going too far!"
Leonard couldn''t let Jocelyn leave like this and wanted to punish her for her disrespectful behavior.
So, he shouted to the guards outside the gate, "Guards, stop her! Jocelyn, if you step out of the
gate, I will disown you!"
Hearing the order, the guards soone forward to catch Jocelyn. She cast a cold nce at them,
neatly turned around, and attacked them like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the guards were
knocked out. Jocelyn''s movements were so fast that the three people in the house had not seen
how she had attacked.
Jocelyn was exuding a strong murderous aura, and her cold eyes were shing with cruelness.
When she abruptly turned her head and looked over, the three people in the house were shocked,
thinking she was scary! And they wondered when she had be so powerful.
No one dared to stop Jocelyn anymore. She was carrying a knife to defend herself. She had
practiced the fighting skills for a long time, and her efforts were not in vain. If anyone dared to find
fault with her, she would use the person to try the knife. No one could me her for being ruthless!
After Jocelyn left, the people in the house ran to the door to check on the guards on the ground.
Each of them had a long knife cut in the chest, but it was not bleeding.
Leonard broke out into a cold sweat and regretted that he had raised such a bane. If he had known
this before, he wouldn''t have shown mercy to Helena''s child. A slight error in thought had caused
him such a disaster today!
Stepping out of the gate, Jocelyn left without looking back. She had no nostalgia for this ce
anymore. Since they did not allow her toe, she would nevere again. The world was big, so
she had other ces to settle down. Anyway, she was living with the Austin family and had a shelter
now. When she seeded in the entertainment industry, she would no longer need to depend on
anyone.
After Jocelyn got in the car, her gloomy aura dissipated, and she returned to normal. When Marcus
started the car, Veronica called her.
Jocelyn picked up the phone and asked, "Veronica, what''s up?"
Veronica indignantly said, "Jocelyn, I''ve read the news! Ernest seeded! I''m so mad to see those
people scold you! Can I post the evidence online to stop them from being smug now?"
Although Veronica had not shown up, she had been secretly watching the situation. And she could
not bear to see them pouring the dirty water on Jocelyn like this.
The entertainment circle was dark and ruthless! It was Ernest and his aplices that should go to
hell!
"Calm down, Veronica. We need to wait a little longer. The best timing has note."
Jocelyn slightly smiled because she believed Ernest would y dirty tricks again soon. She knew
him well. He would not give up until pushing her into a corner!
After Jocelyn hung up the phone, Marcus said, "Ms. Austin, the box on your right is for you."

"For me?"
Only then did she notice the pale pink box beside her under a nket. She picked it up and asked,
"Who gave it to me?"
"Well..."
Because Marcus could answer, she guessed, "Calvin?"
"Maybe!" Marcus nodded against his will without exining.
It was Old Mrs. Austin who had asked him to give this box to Jocelyn and tell her it was from Mr.
Austin.
"What''s in it?" Jocelyn curiously asked.
"I don''t know."
Neither Marcus nor Jocelyn knew what was inside. But she was very curious about what Calvin
would give her. Judging from the pink packaging, she guessed he had bought skin care products for
her. He always said she was thick-skinned and asked her to exfoliate her face, so it might be
something like an exfoliation massage gel.
But when she opened the lid, she was dumbfounded.
It was sexy lingerie!
Jocelyn blushed and quickly closed the box, but her heart was still racing.
Calvin pretended to be serious all day long, but his mind was full of lewd thoughts! Otherwise, he
would not have sent her such a thing.
Shame on him! What a prudish man!
What on earth did he mean?
Was he hinting at something? Did he want her to wear it at night? Or did he want to sleep with her?
Jocelyn had thought about the matter along the way. She had been calm, but Calvin''s gift made her
flustered. And her face was burning.

After Icehive Entertainment sessfully resolved the PR crisis, Ernest personally called Siumix to
express his sincere apology.
Fortunately, Leo, the head of Siumix''s market department epted the apology. After the two
parties reconciled, they would sign the contract as scheduled.
But when Ernest and his team went to Siumix to sign the contract, he was surprised to hear that
Siumix wanted Jocelyn instead of Theresa to be their brand ambassador.
How was it possible? Many people were scolding Jocelyn now. Why had Siumix chosen her?
Not only Ernest but also his team members had never expected it. All the materials and contracts
they had prepared were printed with Theresa''s name.
Hearing Siumix want to change the brand ambassador to Jocelyn, no one could ept it. And
Ernest felt there must be something fishy.
He asked, "Leo, why did you suddenly change the brand ambassador to Jocelyn? Theresa has
always been your brand ambassador in Pailworth, so she is the most suitable. If you suddenly
rece her with another person, it may be detrimental to the development of Siumix, right?"
"It is an order from our headquarters. I''m sorry, Mr. Cloutier."
Leo thought Theresa was more suitable and did not know why the headquarters had asked him to
choose Jocelyn.
Ernest continued to persuade him, saying, "Please listen to me. Although Jocelyn is also an artist of
Icehive Entertainment, she has retired for five years and is out of touch with the international
fashion world. Besides, she has a lot of scandals, so we n to ban her. She is not suitable. If you
let her be your brand ambassador, your brand image will be harmed. Since Siumix wants to develop
better in Ayrence, You should choose Theresa. She is the best candidate in appearance,
temperament, and poprity."
Ernest made great efforts to belittle Jocelyn and let Leo choose Theresa.
What he said coincided with Leo''s thoughts. Leo was a businessman, so he only cared about
profits. He wanted to choose whoever could bring more benefits to Siumix.
So, he and his colleagues seriously re-discussed it and reached a consensus. They all thought
Theresa was the most suitable candidate at present.
Leo said with certainty, "Mr. Cloutier, we are optimistic about Theresa. I will send this proposal to
our president and ask for his approval. I will keep you updated."
