《Reborn to Revenge》 Chapter 1: Reborn Chapter 1: Reborn The cold prison door was opened. A woman wearing a prison suit and holding the yellowed file on her hand. Behind her was the indifferent voice of the prison guard. "After going out, be a good person." Be a good person? She smiled indifferently, and the memory of Jocelyn Turner, the body¡¯s owner, gradually emerged in her mind. Jocelyn Turner was born in a famous family in Yanjing. After her father addicted in gambling,her family¡¯s fortune declined. At the age of 16, her mother died of illness. In less than three years, his father remarried and brought back a younger sister. Since then, her status in this family had plummeted. The stepmother bullied her at home, and her sister even took away her beloved boyfriend. She managed hard to endure till 22 years old. In order to consolidate Turner family¡¯s status in Yanjing, her father did not hesitate to marry her to Arthur Morrison---A disabled son of the aristocratic family Morrison. Arthur had an ident in a drill and caused a half-length disability. He might not be able to take care of himself in the rest of his life. Her status in the family was humble and she was treated with cold attitude. In the end, she was convicted of ¡®the idental murder¡¯ and was sentenced to three years in prison. The past three years was broadcasting in her mind vividly, as if it happened yesterday. Sitting in a taxi and looking out at the scenery outside the window, she put her slim fingers on the knees, and grabbed the corner her clothes. Jocelyn¡¯s whole life seemed to be constantly being oppressed and kept on pleading, so in the most desperate moment in the jail, she chose to end her life and thus regenerate her soul. She had all the memory of Jocelyn¡¯s miserable experience. After driving for more than half an hour, the taxi finally slowly entered a low-rise three-story building on the mountainside. She took out the only piece of money from her pocket and thanked the driver and walked to the door of the vi. She pressed the doorbell. "Jocelyn Turner?" The servant who opened the door saw her and suddenly stunned. Then she changed her words. "Oh no, You are young hostess? young hostess is back!" Jocelyn had left for total three years, while no one cared about her in that 3 years. Even though the family Morrison was powerful enough to save her out , They did nothing. They hate her,even wishing that she died in the jail. So when the maid suddenly saw her, she was shocked. But the maid quickly took out the slippers from the porch and ced them at her feet. "Wait!" Before Jocelyn put her one foot into the slippers, a graceful woman walked down the stairs,with a elegant makeup and a red cheongsam on, adding her glory. Her middle finger was wearing a emerald ring, big as the goose egg. She nced at her face and her face sank. "Are you going to curse our family with such a dirty dress coming in? Joan, take her to the next door to the shower and put on clean clothes lest she brought the bacteria in! Arthur is turning better and I can¡¯t stand him bing much more serious because of her!" As a result,someone immediately walked up to her and gestured. "young hostess, please." N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. It meant letting her go out. The so-called next-door lodge was a ce reserved for the servants to take a bath. It was messy and dirty. They treated her directly as a servant! She sneered, but she was toozy to haggle over.So she put down the slippers. "Okay, Mom." After that, she turned around and left with the servant. Thedy stunned for a moment, feeling much incredible about Jocelyn¡¯s behavior, especially herst word¡®mom¡¯, which was particrly harsh in her ears. Jocelyn once called her Auntie. This was the first time she called her Mom. She felt that this woman seemed to be somewhat different after 3 years. But she couldn¡¯t tell where was different, After all, the appearance was still the same. Chapter 2: The Harassment from Nicola Morrison Chapter 2: The Harassment from Nic Morrison After a bath, Jocelyn put on a clean dress and went back to the vi. There was nobody in the huge living room. Even Selena Alger was not there. Joan exined. "Well, young hostess. There is a maneuver in the military district. Master took madam and Miss. Morrison there. As for the third young master, I do not know where he had gone." Jocelyn frowned. ¡°What about the young master? " He was her nominal husband, the eldest son of the Morrisons, the man destined to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. ¡°Young master? I have not seen him today¡­" Joan said honestly. ¡°Yes, I see.¡± She climbed the spiral stairs to the second floor, found the bedroom of Jocelyn and Arthur ording to her memory and knocked twice. There was nobody to answer her. So she pushed the door. If Arthur was in the bedroom, he would have said coldly ¡°Get out¡±. This meant that he was not in the room. Somehow, she rxed, not as nervous as before. She frowned, couldn¡¯t help wondering if the body¡¯s owner was really so afraid of her nominal husband. Before she couldpletely open the door, suddenly, a ck figure shed behind her, mmed the door and she was pushed against the wall and trapped by a strong force. Jocelyn¡¯s mind was suddenly nk. ¡°Let me go! Who are you?" She struggled fiercely. But the body was pressed tightly. She tried her best to turn around but only saw a ck shadow. The man behind her clung to her back and sped her hands, while the other hand travelled across her body, from her lips to neck, which made her shiver. ¡°Who am I? Did my sister-inw forget me so soon?" Then he had been silent for two seconds, with an evil smile mixed in his tone. And he slightly bent his body, with the tip of his tongue licking along the arc of Jocelyn''s ear. ¡°Just 3 years. You need me to help you recall what happened?¡± The sound was likeing up from the hell, which made her feel cold. Her wrist was mped. She could feel the pain of crushing her bones when she tried to look back. She almost blurted out and asked. ¡°Nic Morrison? Is that you? " In her memory, Nic Morrison was the most cynical young master in the Morrisons. He almost had different women every day, which was as fast as he changed his clothes. Once a woman with a big belly came to say she had Nic''s child! But he relied on Mr. Morrison¡¯s favor to do whatever he liked. Three years ago, he even wanted to possess her. Jocelyn hit his head with a bottle that time. Then he let her go. But it was happening again! ¡°Yes, I know my sister-inw got out of jail today. So I came back early.¡± Nic spoke fast with a evil look. He approached her body closer and closer. ¡°It has been three years since you got married, but have you ever had sex with my brother? Have my brother ever touched you? I remember you were sleeping in separate rooms on your wedding day. My brother is paralyzed so he maybe also couldn¡¯t have sex with you! Why do not let me do it and I will take good care of you. Right?" ¡°Well? You can promise that? You can promise me that no one will bully me?" Her head was a little dizzy. Her voice was fawning but her body still resisted him. Jocelyn would have tried her best to keep herself clean, but it was she that owned this body. She knew better than Jocelyn that false obedience was more effective than resistance. As she expected, Nic thought she almost gave in and the power to restrain her was not that strong now. He had a handsome face and a evil smile, the whole body was filled with a slight smell of wine. ¡°Of course. At least I will not leave you in prison for three years and even didn¡¯t care about you. Who can be crueler than my elder brother? Right? Come on, I have been thinking about you for three years! Let me kiss you. " Nic said and held her quickly to the side of the bed. And he boldly threw himself over her. ¡°Wait...Wait a moment!¡± She withstood his approaching chest with her fingers and tried to stop him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Nic was getting impatient.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. Chapter 3: Here Appeared Arthur! Chapter 3: Here Appeared Arthur! ¡°I¡¯m not convenient because I''m in my period." She refused. She was really in her period.She just found that during the shower. Nic did not believe it.He stared at her suspiciously, feeling obviously that this was an excuse. "Really?" Nic pressed his lips,with his emotions hidden. "Sure." She looked serious. After a moment¡¯s silence, he smiled with a great interest. "Jocelyn,my sister-inw, after 3 years, you are still innocent and lovely as before... Do you think I am such easily cheated?" "..." Jocelyn was speechless---so he thought she was lying to him? "You are getting smarter." Nic''s fingers hang around her corbone. From top to bottom, her fingertips gently walk down her belly, feeling the tension of her body. Would this man... What a indecent man he was! Jocelyn red at him closely,realizing that his hand was already moving towards her private parts, hearing his maic voice speak. "I¡¯ll check ..." She was stiff all over, and her underwear seemed to have been taken by his fingers... At the critical time, there suddenly came the very clear sound of the wheelchair sliding. She suddenly realized something, while the man who was pressing on her acted much faster. He almost got out of bed in no time and tidied his clothes. It just happened to crash into the eyes of a man in the wheelchair. After seeing the mess in the bedroom, and the man, who was busy with the buttons, and the woman who sat up from the bed, Arthur¡¯s face was getting as dark as the ink. "What are you doing?" His voice was cold, like a person living in an ice house. hearing his voice simply could make people shudder. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g A disabled person who lives in a dark world all day long. He can''t even go out or see anyone. It''s not too bad to say that he''s an ice cer. "Bro... Brother, you... how can you be here?" Nic stuttered. He knew that Arthur had locked himself in the study for a day and didn¡¯te out , so he dared to enter the master bedroom to harass Jocelyn. "This is my room." Arthur approached them with the wheelchair, and his approaching made her feel the coldnessing from him. While at this time, someone was more afraid than her. Nic has always been afraid of Arthur. Once Arthur was the head of the military appointed by the old commander. He was vigorous,and has made countless military achievements thus he also won the nickname of ''Cold Blood Devil'' in the army. But for the ident in the military exercise, Arthur should now have been the famous chief of the entire Yanjing. But even if he was now disabled, could only move with the wheelchair, the military morale in his bones had not changed. "One more time, what are you doing in this room?" There was a trace of impatience in Arthur¡¯s cold voice. "Arthur, It¡¯s... not what you think!" Nic was making the condition harder to exin.In front of Arthur, he was nothing but a coward. She sneered in her heart:when facing Jocelyn,he was a bully;while facing Arthur,He was nothing! At this time, following the light, Arthur¡¯s eyes fell on her delicate face. After several years of prison life, she became thinner and more vicle. "Since he doesn¡¯t want to speak,you tell me." The man''s voice was cold like ice, without a trace of temperature. "..." Jocelyn stunned : I tell you? Did she have anything to say? Chapter 4: Where Should She Sleep Chapter 4: Where Should She Sleep ¡°We have done nothing.¡± She told the truth. Nic apparently relieved but saw Arthur¡¯s face was still angry and gloomy, he said quickly. " Yes. Brother, my sister-inw just got out of prison. I just came by to see her." Come to see her? See her in bed? That was ame excuse. ¡°But if youeter, we have done everything you can imagine.¡± She added calmly. ¡°...¡± The mood in the bedroom was heavy. Arthur clutched his long fingers on the wheelchair and stared at the calm face of Jocelyn. He did not expect that the woman could tell the truth easily. Nic''s face suddenly turned pale and almost jumped up. "What are you talking about?" ¡°Isn¡¯t it? Didn¡¯t you just say your brother has been paralyzed so you should do it for him? And you said that as long as I let you do, you will treat me well. It is only a few minutes ago, do you regret now?¡± Jocelyn showed him a face of grievances and deliberately entuated the word ¡°paralyze¡±,which undoubtedly made the situation even worse. ¡°You... you...you¡­" Nic stammered. He dared not to look at Arthur¡¯s face again, as if he was afraid that he would swallow him alive. He had no idea that Jocelyn Turner, a gentler and virtuous woman, would directly confess to an affair in the presence of Arthur! This Jocelyn Turner who just released from prison, was a total psycho! ¡°My brother, I..." Nic even wanted to cry. "I admit that I did, but I know that sister-inw isn¡¯t in that physical condition. So we didn¡¯t¡­" She had never seen that someone voluntarily confessed anything so quickly. She knew at once that Nic was a bully, who just dared to bully someone weak. He saw her timid. That was why he chose Jocelyn. It was such a waste that he had a handsome face. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. But she thought this would bring her a lot of fun for herter life. ¡°Get out of here!¡± Arthur slid in a wheelchair, suppressing anger in his voice. It sounded like it wasing from the hell. Even her spine could feel cold. No wonder Jocelyn was so afraid of her husband. It felt like this man was a bomb which would explode at any moment. And when he got angry, he could kill anyone he wanted to kill at any moment. Nic gave Jocelyn a fierce stare and swore to himself that he wouldn¡¯t let her go easily next time. But in the presence of Arthur, he was so afraid that he couldn¡¯t say a word. He stumbled and almost crawled to leave the room. There were only two people in the bedroom, she and Arthur. A terrible silence was filled in the room. ¡°I... that...¡± she strangely stuttered. In front of this crippled master, her heart was beating so fast. Jocelyn Turner, why you so nervous? ¡°Hey, long time no see...¡± After a long hesitation, she blurted out this opening. She suddenly felt like biting her tongue to kill herself. Arthur was silent, staring at her coldly. She just felt a gust of cold wind blowing. Why he still ignored her? ¡°Well, it is sunny outside. How about I take you out to feel the sunshine?¡± It seemed that this was something Jocelyn always longed for. But just as her hand touched his wheelchair, he suddenly raised his hand and grasped her wrist so tightly. And he pulled her. Then his thick palm caught her by the neck. Pain and the extreme oxygen deprivation made Jocelyn''s face turn purple suddenly. Chapter 5: Her Preexistence-Joanne Leonard Chapter 5: Her Preexistence-Joanne Leonard "Cough..." She tried to open his fingers with both hands, but she was weaker than Arthur who was the military, "Let... let me go..." Every word from Arthur seemed toe out of the teeth. "Who gave you the courage?" What the hell? "What are you talking about? I don''t... I don''t understand..." "Oh... you failed to seduce me, and you are afraid that your status will not be guaranteed, so you are going to start from Nic?" "..." She stunned, and then sheined secretly. Seriously, Jocelyn, what did you do? Did you also seduce Arthur? Even if you were unwilling to be lonely, you would not be able to seduce a person who was paraplegia! Was Jocelyn''s inner heart love Arthur? "You quickly let me go, I am dying... I am dying..." She was really ufortable, and she had to shed tears in her eyes, she hit his arm continuously. Seeing that she really couldn¡¯t breathe, Arthur loosened his hand. Jocelyn was almost dying, and the whole body fell softly on the ground, touching the clear finger marks on her neck. N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. "Cough..." Damn it, he was going to kill her. Should the soldiers be so rude? "Get out of here!" Arthur sat in a wheelchair, his voice suppressed his anger, and he looked at her in a wheelchair. Let go what happened just now? But she touched her neck that was almost broken, and Jocelyn didn¡¯t say anything, ¡®okay¡¯, got up from the ground, propped the body and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door. When she closed the door, she suddenly understood. With Arthur¡¯s cold and arrogant personality, even if his wife and his younger brother were derailed, how can they spread it outside? Would it be a p in the face? But then she reacted again. He drove her out of the bedroom. Where should she sleep? Damn it. Looked around, there was another room next to Arthur''s bedroom. Jocelyn opened the door of the bedroom, it''s very simpleyout, there is a small bed, a wardrobe, and a bathroom. Forget it, just slept here, it¡¯s better than being killed by the disabled. At night, breezy, she was covered with a thin nket, but she did not sleep well, and many pictures appeared in her mind. A ck Rolls-Royce was crushed by arge truck rushing out of the corner. In the midst of the fire, the medical staff carried out two charred bodies. They were her father and mother. The newspaper headline read, "At five o''clock in the morning, a major traffic ident urred in the suburbs of Yanjing. The popr business celebrity Jason Leonard and his wife were killed in a car ident. The youngdy of the Leonard group Joanne Leonard was missing yesterday and her whereabouts were still unknown... Her fianc¨¦ Stan Judd was under investigation at the police station and offered a five million dors bonus to find the whereabouts of his fianc¨¦e." ... Stan Judd... These two words, like a dagger, were deeply carved her heart. Joanne Leonard was her preexistence, and Stan Judd was the one she had loved dearly. But in the end, what she exchanged was his betrayal, and he even hoped that their family of three would die in a car ident! On that day, several strong men chased her behind her, trying to kill her, and she didn''t know until the moment she jumped into the sea that it was Stan Judd''s instructions and nning. He was the one who was most looking forward to her death! Stan Judd, were you happy now? Took the money of the Leonard family and raise the woman you love. Don''t worry, I would get even with you soon. Chapter 6: I Was Foolish Chapter 6: I Was Foolish When Jocelyn woke up, her eyes were still tearful.She looked around and then stopped on the rm clock finally. It was almost ten o''clock. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. She slept so long. Jocelyn picked out a simple household dress from the wardrobe and covered the pinch scar that was made on her neck yesterday with her cor,then she went downstairs, praying in her heart that she would never see the disabled young master. But sure enough, Arthur was not downstairs, so was Nic. The living room was very lively. Selena was teaching Julia who is second daughter of the Morrison family to make dumplings, Arthur''s father was sitting on the sofa with sses and watching the Finance and Economics Channel. She went up and said hello, "Mom." Seeing her, Selena''s face turned cold and her eyes stared at the quartz clock tightly. "Look at the time!Sozy on your first day aftering back?Do you really regard yourself as a daughter of rich family to enjoy wealth and honor here?!" Julia saidzily with making dumplings, "Maybe it''s too hard in prison. My eldest sister-inw was so tired that forgot to cook breakfast!" Did she always cook breakfast? So Jocelyn''s status in this family were daughter-inw and nanny? "What''s wrong?Eldest sister-inw, have you been fooled in prison?" Seeing her silent for a long time, Julia raised her slender eyebrows and continued satirizing. Jocelyn regained her mind and said with a slight smile,"No problem,If Julia wants to eat the breakfast cooked by me , I''ll do it now to make sure it suits your appetite." She pretended not to see Julia''s changed face with Selena and walked calmly to the kitchen. "What? Psycho! It''s almost noon, who wants to eat the breakfast cooked by her."Julia abused secretly.When Jocelyn was bullied by her before, she always showed the aggrieved look of being bullied. Now she was better, could she smile at her calmly? "I guess her became foolish when she was in prison." Selena took the dumplings in her hand, "You see how terrible you made them. You should do like this." In the kitchen, facing a room of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and vegetables, Jocelyn had a headache. She couldn''t cook breakfast, it used to be good if she didn''t burn the kitchen when she was at the Leonard family before. But she still cooked it reluctantly. She took the steak from the refrigerator, put chopped green onion and eggs in the frying pan and fried them. She remembered that the nanny of the Leonard family used to cook breakfast by this way. It was just that the fire was not well controlled.When she picked up the steak, it was as ck as charred. No way, she secretly sprinkled ayer of white flour to cover up and put some cumin and paprika,then took it out. Julia just took only one bite and her delicate face changed rapidly. "Bah!" She looked very unbearable, this was really the most unptable food she has ever eaten! She vomited out the steak she had eaten,the chopsticks were crashed on the table with a crack,"Eldest sister-inw,are you on purpose?Are you trying to harm me by miscing something in my food, just as you did in the crime of manughter?" ¡°So bad?¡±Selena''s face was full of suspicion,she remembered that she could cook well. She didn''t believe it very much. She took up the knife and fork to cut a little of steak. She had just put it in her mouth and her face changed from blue to purple immediately. "Haha...... Doesn''t it taste good? I''m sorry. When I was in prison, not only did I get a head injury, the wound on my head was stitched, I also got my fingers broken.So maybe my hands shock so that put too much seasoning in it just now." Her face was full of sincerity so that made people unable to find any mistakes.Even if Julia was extremely angry, she also had cozy smile on the corners of the mouth. Selena''s eyes moved away slightly. "I think you are on purpose?!Don''t cook if you don''t want to!Who do you sour?!"Julia had never got used to Jocelyn''s submissive loo,how can such a person deserve her brother Arthur? Therefore, it had mordant and unkind meaning in her words, because she vowed to drive Jocelyn out of the Morrison family sooner orter. "Julia,what you said is not right. I wanted to cook it deliciously, but I''m really......"Jocelyn showed her grievances thoroughly. "You!!" A farce in the living room was on the verge,at this time¡ª¡ª Chapter 7: She Happened to See an Embrassing Scene Chapter 7: She Happened to See an Embrassing Scene "Is it enough? If you say enough, just shut up! My ears are going be deaf. Can¡¯t you leave me quiet to watch the news?" The oldest man in Morrison family, who was sitting alone on the sofa, suddenly scolded, with his crutches knocked twice. Selena glowered at Julia, and Julia immediately stopped talking. "OK, Grandpa." The oldest man, Abner Morrison,had only one son: Jeff Morrison, who was Selena¡¯s husband and Arthur¡¯s father. He flew to France a month ago to go on business, so Abner was now in charge of the family. Being an old cadre in the military region,Abner still possess the character of an old soldier. On the financial channel, the news was on live: the financial magnate of Leonard had been taken over by Stan Judd, and the death of the Leonard was just a traffic ident. And their daughter Joanne Leonard was also in the death list. Jocelyn stared at the screen with her eyes unmoved, her eyes gradually moistened and her fists tightened. At this time, on the second floor of the vi, the man in the wheelchair looked coldly at everything that happened in the living room, his eyes frowned. Jocelyn was indeed different from before. Throughout the day, Jocelyn did not see Arthur appear. This man was like a ghost, nobody knowing what he was doing and thinking. In the middle of the night, a jingle sound came from the bedroom next door to her, and there was a fierce voice, apanied it seemed being a movement of the wheelchair. This awoke Jocelyn, who was always in a light sleep. she grabbed her hair hard. She meant to not get up, but the sound was too loud, even if she wrapped her head in the bedding, she could still hear it. Finally, she had to put on her slippers and go to the next door. She knocked a few times, but no one answered. Something wrong? N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. She was soberly awake. Jocelyn directly pushed the door in, but suddenly stopped her foot and stared at the scene in front of her. Arthur was falling down the bed. The ck underpants had been torn apart, the thighs bare, the key parts blocked by quilt. Next to him was a sexy young woman wearing a camisole and saying in a terrified voice. "Master, I am sorry, I didn''t mean it. If you don''t like me, I won''te..." "...I, do I bother you?" Jocelyn said while her legs didn''t mean to move. Arthur''s face was almost dark to the extreme, especially at this moment, there was a person outside the door that he couldn''t ignore. "Get out!" "OK...OK, I am leaving..." The young woman didn''t even have time to wear her clothes. She turned down her head and hurriedly passed Jocelyn''s side. When she left, she whispered her, "Mistress." ¡¯ Her mouth was pumping:she couldn¡¯t figure out what happened. "Does this woman..." While she was thinking in her heart, a sharp sight swept over her. "Is it enough?" Arthur''s face was as cold as a cold pool. "Yeah, enough!" Jocelyn answered subconsciously. "Get out?" He shouted. "Oh¡­¡­" Except for those words, Dis he have anything else to say? Jocelyn was about to close the door and go. "Wait." Behind her came Arthur''s dark and low voice. Chapter 8 : Serve Me with Bath Chapter 8 : Serve Me with Bath "Give me a hand." "......"She even thought that he was so capable that could stand up by himself. Jocelyn tangled for a moment and went honestly over to help him up from the ground. It was also at this time that she discovered that Arthur was really tall. When he was sitting in a wheelchair, he couldn''t be seen to be so tall.Now, this man of 1.85 meters was pressing against her, it was very heavy for her. She held him to sit back in the wheelchair with gasping. "If nothing else, I''ll go back to sleep."She yawned and was really sleepy,she had been having nightmares these days. She said that unthinkingly, her words made Arthur frown quickly,he frowned so tight that the eyebrows could screw a fly to death. "It''ste. I want to take a bath."He said almost in amanding tone,his voice cooled several degrees again. Jocelyn''s steps stopped in time. "......Take a bath?"She felt very confused. What he meant, was it that let her take a bath for him,wasn''t it? Was she so unlucky?The beautiful young woman wanted to help him just now, but he refused. Now she had encountered such an errand as soon as she came in? "Yes."Arthur had no patience left, sliding his wheelchair in the direction of the bathroom, "Come over!" It was themanding tone again. Ah.....Could she refuse?Why did he take a bath in the middle of the night? But it seemed that it was not very good to leave the disabled master along here. After all, he was a disabled person. Forget it, she epted her fate. It took Jocelyn a long time to move her feet. It was really the first time she served someone with bath.When she was the princess of the Leonard family before, she was served by the servants and nurses. She filled the bathtub with water in the same way as before. Arthur sat in a wheelchair and stared at her with a fixed gaze. Under the faint light of LED hanging on the wall,Jocelyn''s face was delicate and small.When she bent down, she exposed arge area of vicle.She put her hand in the bathtub and tried the temperature again to adjust the water temperature well. "It is okay,e to wash."She turned back and said that inadvertently. But after saying that, she would like to bite her tongue. He was a disabled person,it was necessary for her to undress him,right? Sure enough,Arthur''s face turned instantly ck. The atmosphere in the bathroom suddenly became suffocating. Jocelyn looked at him and pointed to herself, "That..... Clothes...... Can I help you take off them?" Arthur did not answer her question,he just stared at her tightly. She was very frightened because of his stare. Okay, he won. She held him up again, she lookedborious so that her was shaking and couldn''t stand still. Jocelyn held him in one hand, took off his coat in the other and gritted her teeth,"You are too heavy! Who helped you bathe before?" She continued saying,"If you want me to help you take a bathter, I''ll have to buy a crutch, otherwise......" Suddenly, the atmosphere was like ice. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Before she could say thest word, she was pushed away hard by Arthur. She staggered, stepped on the overflowing liquid and fell on Arthur who had just stepped into the bathtub. They all sank into the bathtub full of water synchronously, the water sshed everywhere. She was soaked up and down in an instant,the white shirt clung to the perfect firgure,her rounded chest was about toe out.What made her so embarrassed was that it seemed that her hand grasped something that should not be grasped...... It''s just between Arthur''s thighs. Chapter 9: Your Trick Was Too Clumsy Chapter 9: Your Trick Was Too Clumsy "..." "How long do you n to lie on my body?" Suddenly, Arthur''s voice was past over with the innumerous anger. "What!" Jocelyn thought of it , she was screaming, she only felt that her right hand was burning, and his body was changing, she felt it very clearly! At that time, she plucked her hand back immediately and propped up her body, and she got up from him. But the bathtub was too small, she followed the light, and saw the scenery in front of her, the two points on his chest. "..." Inhale, inhale, inhale... Jocelyn, you have to calm down... Her skin was full of water, like the hibiscus that just came out of the water, the shirt was wet with water stuck to her body, Arthur can clearly see that this body was very attractive to him. "Your trick is getting worse and worse!" Arthur warned her coldly, and at the same time he suppressed the anger that came out of his heart. "...The men in the world aren''t the same? Is it necessary to protect?" She blurted out and debuted, no one would treasure it! "What did you say?" The implication was that she had seen other men''s dicks? Even under the dim light, Jocelyn seemed to be able to feel Arthur''s cold eyes, giving her a very strong sense of suffocation. "I...you can pretend that I didn''t say it!" Inhale, exhale, and Jocelyn crossed the bathtub, and touched the bath towel indiscriminately. Then scrubbed the back of Arthur causally. The man¡¯s face was tense, his thin lips keptpressed, never said something. Can you still bear it? Jocelyn threw the bath towel to him, she also had the temper, "You can wash yourself for the in front part of your body!" Lest she be worn the ¡®seduce¡¯ hat again! Arthur frowned. He took a bath towel and scrubbed his whole body in front of her. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Jocelyn''s mouth was pressed, and finally she turned her head and didn''t look at him. After taking a shower, Jocelyn took a bathrobe and put it on him . While kneeling down to help him tie the waist belt, she tried not to see that ce, but she still couldn''t help but recall the feeling when she touched it in the bathroom. Arthur stared at the face of the woman who was squatting in front of him, he suddenly remembered a wedding invitation card received in the mailbox today. "There is a wedding party the day after tomorrow, you will apany me to attend that." Although he did not want to have any rtions with this woman, she was also his nominal wife. Attend the wedding party? Jocelyn''s movement of tying the belt was stopped, and she looked up and saw that Mr. Disable¡¯s gloomy face, it¡¯s like others owed him millions dors. Was this the attitude of inviting? "I won''t apany you!" She refused it even she didn''t think about it. She tied a knot at his waist. "I have no interests in the wedding party. Moreover, I have been in prison. Everyone knows it in this circle, I am toozy to stir up in those right and wrong matters." Arthur frowned and his face was ck. The previous Jocelyn never refused him so tantly. "Well, the bath is also finished, the clothes are changed, you can sleep." Putting him on the bed, Jocelyn helped him to arrange the quilt, then stretched out and took a look at watch, it was already three in the morning. "I also go to rest. Good night." She was going to go back to the bedroom next door, just to take a step. Arthur, who had been lying down behind her suddenly said. "Stan Judd and I have lived in apound since childhood. He is a grandson who is recognized by the grandfather, his wedding party, Morrison family members must be present." Jocelyn''s action of opening the bedroom door was stopped, and she frowned, as if she hadn¡¯t heard it clearly, ¡°Whose the wedding party?¡± Chapter 10: Sleeping In Your Bed! Chapter 10: Sleeping In Your Bed! ¡°Stan Judd¡±Lying t, Arthur said indifferently. Stan came over for grandpa¡¯s birthday before while Jocelyn was in jail. ¡°You should have met him once during our wedding three years ago.¡± Arthur wasn¡¯t so sure because he wasn¡¯t there for receiving guests in the wedding. It was so quiet in the room that even a sound of needle falling could be heard clearly. Jocelyn Leaned against the golden-edged door. Her emotion was so unsteady that her body trembled slightly. Arthur was so insightful that he knew something wrong. He was about to close eyes but opened them again. With little force, his hand held his body to sit up. Jocelyn was standing ten meters away from him, making a fist so tightly that she didn¡¯t notice the nails was into flesh. Stan Judd, it was a name that printed in her heart like a hot soldering iron. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± A cold voice came from the back. Arthur saw her grievance, sorrow and anger. Jocelyn suddenly sobered up and looked back at that serious man. How fast he changed face. ¡°Nothing.¡± She adjusted the mood, ¡°Do I have to attend the wedding, can I refuse?¡± ¡°Hum.¡± Arthur indifferently responded. He was tired indeed and in poor health he felt exhausted to hold his body by one hand. Thus he lied down slowly. ¡°It can be fine.¡± Her reason reminded her that she was Jocelyn now not Joanne. If she wanted to revenge, to find out the reason of her parents¡¯ death, to take back what belonged to her, she had to rely on Morrison family, namely, Arthur Morrison. However, as the wife of the eldest master, she was unable to sleep in the main bedroom. No wonder that those servants looked down upon her. ¡°I can go, but I have a requirement.¡± There was silence in the back. Arthur wasn¡¯t interested in her words or even waszy to reply her. Jocelyn thought she was speaking to no one. It was better to act directly. ¡°I will take the silence as an agreement.¡± Finishing her words, she quickly turned back to her small bedroom. She found something and then took the quilt and pillow to go back to Arthur¡¯s room. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. She directly lied down the space beside Arthur. Arthur¡¯s bed was so big that her single bed which was difficult to roll over couldn¡¯t evenpare. ¡°The big bed is sofortable!¡± Jocelyn sighed when she lied down. Arthur¡¯s state of mind copsed, looking angry. He almost bit his teeth while speaking, ¡°Jocelyn, where is your sense of shame?¡± She totally didn¡¯t regard herself as an outsider and even lied down beside him so freely. Was it her requirement? For a second, he regretted the previous silence. ¡°Can shame be eaten? Besides, Mr. Morrison, we are legally married couple who shouldn¡¯t sleep separately. Sleeping together is the way it should be. What are you worried about? We can¡¯t do anything......¡± Those words made Arthur speechless, especially thest sentence which challenged his bottom line. When did she learn to speak well after three years of prison? Indeed, he was unwilling to talk with that woman. He would die of anger sooner orter. Arthur frowned so tightly that he turned his back against Jocelyn. The night got darker and there was darkness outside the window. Only scarce moon light came in. The woman lying in the bed woke up at unknown time. Perhaps she didn¡¯t fall asleep at all. There was clearness in her opened eyes, looking totally like another person. Stan Judd, should I give you a big surprise? Chapter 11: Was the Maid Subordinated to Selena Alger Chapter 11: Was the Maid Subordinated to Selena Alger At 4: 00 a.m., Arthur woke up. Hearing the steady breathing, he looked at the woman beside him who had fallen asleep peacefully. Her long hair was soft and the quilt even almost covered her chin. She was quiet just like a lovely cat. Now it seemed that she didn''t have a glib tongue as she did in the day but she was so gentle and peaceful, which made him feel much morefortable. Arthur''s heart, which had been trained to be cold in the army since he was a child, suddenly softened a little. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ... Jocelyn had such a peaceful sleep that she woke up at noon the next day. She sat up with the quilt till covering her, yawned, and was stunned to see nobody around her. Did she sleep too sound? She even didn''t perceive that Arthur had got up. Jocelyn pushed back the quilt and got out of bed. After a random wash, she went downstairs to have breakfast. As soon as she arrived at the stairway, she heard the voice of Selena who was talking to a servant in the living room on the first floor. "Did he have any reaction?" Selena deliberately lowered her voice, But it happened that Jocelyn was standing at the diagonal angle of the stairs. She stretched her neck curiously and looked down, then she was stunned. It was the maid who wore a slip dress and tore Arthur''s underwearst night. It was interesting. "I didn''t pay attention to it. The young master was reluctant." The maid was obviously nervous and blushed, and she even stuttered, "After that, the young hostess came in, so I didn''t go on..." "There is no need for you to be afraid of her. She is just an ornament in Morrison family. If Arthur can really fall in love with her, why do I ask you to do that?" Selena was a little unhappy. "Madam, I really can''t make it. Otherwise, you''d better find someone else to do that. I..." The maid blushed, hesitating but not knowing how to exin. "Hey? What agreement have we reached? You have taken the money. You..." Selena did not intend to give up easily. Jocelyn immediately realized that the maid was subordinated to Selena? She couldn''t bear to see how Selena forced the maid to prostitute herself, so she simply stepped down quickly. She said in her clear and bright voice and broke the embarrassment in the living room, "Good morning, Mom." Hearing Jocelyn''s voice, Selena paused and quickly signed to the maid to stand down. She frowned and went to Jocelyn, then she used her, "Don''t you know that you need to keep the rules? What time is it? You have been released from prison for several days. But how can you go downstairs at this time every day! " Selena suspiciously looked at Jocelyn, "Is it true that you got up just now?" "Sorry, Mom, I don''t want to be sote, butst night I was too tired to take care of Arthur. In the morning, Arthur got up and didn''t wake me up, so I have got upte." Jocelyn yawned and apologized sincerely. Anyway, Arthur would not be here for a long time. He would not know that she was building her prestige in Morrison family in the name of him. Moreover, what she said was true, and she should not be guilty. Sure enough, what she said was just like a bomb.Selena was shocked, "What did you say? Did you sleep in a room with Arthurst night? "Yes." Jocelyn nodded and lowered her voice, then said again, "Mom, there are servants here. Please keep your voice lower..." As soon as she looked at her shy look, Selena immediately burst intoughter, "That''s great. You really need to have a good rest!" Several servants were clearing the table. Selena directly stopped them, "Hurry up and bring out the steak cooked just now in the kitchen. Young hostess hasn''t had breakfast. Don''t clear the table." Jocelyn stepped down thest step wearing her slippers and raised her eyebrows, ignoring that what Selena was busy with. It seemed that she was right to guess that although Arthur was disabled, he still upied an extraordinary position in Morrison family. As long as others thought that they two loved each other very much, she would own the status that the eldest young hostess in Morrison family should have! This was only the first step of her whole n. Chapter 12: So, Thank You, Mom Chapter 12: So, Thank You, Mom Jocelyn sat at the table and cut the steak, and asionally drank a red wine, feeling quitefortable. For a long time, she had not enjoyed such a meal so quietly. In prison, everyone was rushing to the food lest there was no food left, and after returning the house,all she heard was the criticism for her. Half an hourter, at the end of her meal, there came a footstep down the stairs behind her. Julia was dressing in a Chanel''stest dress.While going downstairs,she stuffed the perfume into the bag. Selena stopped her in time, "Julia, are you going to buy a dress, bring your sister-inw together!" "Sister-inw?" This word made Julia confused.The surprised face under the wavy curled hair was showing that she did not believe what she heard. "Mom what are you talking?" She looked suspiciously at Jocelyn who had just finished the meal at the table. That was not normal:Selena was calling Jocelyn Julia¡¯s sister-inw! Jocelyn took a cough. She ignored Julia¡¯s hostile gaze, swallowed the steak, and said pretending to be considerate: ¡°Thanks,Mom. It¡¯s okay.Our family is not in business,so there is no need to waste money on my dressing" "It¡¯s not okay. This is a issue of dignity." Selena directly took out a card and ced it on the table. "Hold it, remember to buy one for Arthur." Julia was almost stunned: was there something wrong with my Mom? Why she treated Jocelyn so nice? Looking at the golden card, Jocelyn¡¯s eyes was shinning, but she covered her excite and picked it up reluctantly. "Then,thank you mom!" This sound ¡®mother¡¯ was so loud that Selena was in stun for a moment, and when she came to herself, Jocelyn had already stand up and went to the entrance to change shoes. "Bah! Such a bitch!" Julia snorted in heart and mmed the bag and stepped out with the high-heels thudding. They were in a luxury dress shop. When Julia arrived, she was surrounded by the clerks. Five shopping guides in the store all talked around her. Julia was obviously not strong-minded,for she had already bought 7 or 8 jewellery before trying just in a minute. Jocelyn was left aside,but she was d about it.She looked around in the shop which was full of dresses, and finally selected a silver-gray wide-edition long gauzy dress. This dress looked quite ordinary.So she asked for a try, the clerk next to her nced and hesitated to ask if this one was too in. "It doesn''t matter, just this one, and I want to try the set of nes and earrings over there, and the two rings here, please." Although the clerk did not know her, but after all, she was with Julia, so she couldn¡¯t be a ordinary person.Soon the clerk took everything she wanted. Jocelyn used to learn jewelry design. She had a keen sense of fashion,knowing clearly how to show a clothing¡¯s biggest advantage and What kind of jewelry was the finishing touch. At the same time, Julia also selected the clothes and essories, entered the locker room. Ten minutester, the curtain of the locker room was opened by the clerk. The silver-gray wide-edition long gauzy dress showed her perfect figure,the color silver-gray highlighted her fair skin like the legendary White Princess, hair simply ting like a flower.With the rings and the Mermaid tears ne,she looked in but fashionable and grace. When Julia¡¯s curtain was pulled open, she saw the five shopping guides in front of her staring at the door of the dressing room on the other side, all eyes straight, full of envy and appreciation. Looking along their gaze, she saw Jocelyn''s dress, and her face suddenly changed. She didn¡¯t realize before but this time when she saw Jocelyn¡¯s fresh and refined dressing, her own dressing was as mboyant as a Christmas tree. She was so angry with her teeth crunching, and shouted to the guides. "Who choose me this?It is not good at all, pick another one." N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. The shopping guides felt guilty, and they dare not offend the bigdy, so they scattered right away. Jocelyn looked at her in the mirror with satisfaction, then turned to the clerk. "please pack this set for me,together with the jewelry, and, also the man''s suit over there." She did not forget that Selena told her to choose a set of clothes for Arthur as well. After her paying, Julia was still angry with the shopping guide in the locker room. Jocelyn was toozy to listen to, and then went out of the store and prepared to turn around. Just out of the store door, she heard a slight click. She did not look back, but the corner of the eye saw a man with a cap was holding a SLR in the direction of the shop cab, taking photos for the store. Jocelyn thought for a moment.Maybe there was nothing explosive to report in the entertainment circle recently and the paparazzi had nothing to shoot, so Julia¡¯s big shopping could also make a headline. Staring at the little reporter for a while, she turned around and thought about something, striding over. Chapter 13: We Can Make a Deal Chapter 13: We Can Make a Deal ¡°What are you shooting?¡± Jocelyn suddenly appeared in front of the little reporter. He was startled by her and did not stand firm, then he fell on the floor, stammering. ¡°Nothing¡­¡± ¡°Nothing?? Show me your camera." Jocelyn reached out. The little reporter consciously hid his camera behind him, nced at Jocelyn and was ready to run. ¡°Are you taking photos of Mrs. Morrison?¡± Jocelyn quickly grabbed the tape of his camera and whispered. " Don¡¯t run, or I will call the police. " ¡°I won¡¯t. I won¡¯t run. Can you just let me delete it?¡± Now he even wanted to cry. He knew clearly the consequence of offending the Morrisons. Jocelyn smiled, which was meaningful. ¡°You do not have to delete it. Why you take photos of Mrs. Morrison shopping? Can it help you make a headline? Do you want some explosive news? How about we make a deal? " ¡°...¡± As night fell, Yanjing seemed busy with neon lights. Before Arthur got back in the evening, Jocelyn had already had dinner, humming and ying with her dress and jewelry in the room. The feeling of spending other people¡¯s money was totally good. Spending money which belonged to people she used to hate was even better. When she came back and gave card to Selena Alger, there was nothing more interesting than Selena¡¯s expression at that time. ¡°Why have not you been home all day? Where have you been? " Seeing Arthur was back, Jocelyn asked casually. Arthur gave her a cold nce. "Do not ask me anything you should not. " Jocelyn frowned. Her good mood of the day was disturbed by his words. If this happened before, she would have made it a big event and kept pestering him. She suppressed her temper and took the suit out of the bag. "I won¡¯t ask. Let me tell you what I have done today. I bought you a suit. Try it. " ¡°I do not want.¡± Arthur said then pushed his wheelchair to the bathroom. Seeing him, Jocelyn turned angry. She grabbed the handrail of his wheelchair and forced him to stop. "You have to try it on. " Arthur''s eyes fell on her hand. For a moment, he raised his head slowly and said indifferently." Give me a reason. " ¡°Reason? I am your wife, and I bought you clothes, as the old saying goes, husband and wife are birds in the same forest..." She stopped in the half and suddenly found something wrong. Arthur looked at her strangely. She coughed and said. "Anyway. We are husband and wife. We have to stand together when facing the outside.¡± ¡°Stand together when facing the outside?¡± Arthur looked at her, with doubts in his eyes. ¡°The clothes I have chosen for you are a match for my dress. It will be obvious to everyone that we are in love with each other when we show up at the wedding. And your handsome face and my beauty can make them envy and even hate us. Then we can kill all bad rumors and some people¡¯s bad thoughts. Isn¡¯t it standing together when facing the outside?¡± Seven points were true and three points were false in her words. Seven points were from that she couldn¡¯t tolerate that Arthur¡¯s mother used a dirty way to test him and tried to cover him. And three points were because she really needed Arthur to pretend they were in love at the wedding day, which could gain respect of others in their circle. N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content. Well, she did not know how much Arthur had believed, but he said yes , ¡°Just put there, I will try it onter.¡± Chapter 14: Stan Judd, We Met Again Chapter 14: Stan Judd, We Met Again Three dayster. The Judd family reserved the top floor of a five-star hotel in Yanjing. Generally speaking, people would ce the wedding photo and signs at the door of the hotel. However, Judd family was so abnormal and low-key that the guests didn''t feel any happiness until they got out of the elevator and arrived at the door of banquet hall. Jocelyn followed Morrison family to get out of the elevator, while the servant beside pushed Arthur''s wheelchair. She looked at the entrance of the banquet hall which was not far away. There, the figure in the tuxedo slowly came into her eyes, which was bing clearer and clearer just as she had been familiar with before. "Grandpa, Aunt Morrison, we have been looking forward you for a long time." At the moment when she looked at Stan nearly, Jocelyn was still stunned. It was the first time she had seen the man she had loved for three years from an outsider''s point of view. A tailored ck tuxedo was very delicate and the lily and thebel written on "groom" were decorated on his chest. She remembered clearly that the dress was customized for him personally in Italy when the two decided to get engaged. Thinking that, Jocelyn sneered. His fiancee had just died for such a short time. Stan was busy with marrying another woman. She had thought that he loved this woman very much. However, he didn''t even spend the time customizing a new dress. It was ridiculous to marry to another woman but wear the old clothes. After greeting the Morrison family, he finally looked at Jocelyn and then he was confused, "This is..." Jocelyn married Arthur three years ago and they just met once at the wedding ceremony. And then she was imprisoned soon. It was understandable that Stan didn''t remember her. Julia sneered, with her eyes full of contempt, waiting to see Jocelyn''s embarrassed look. In fact, Stan had guessed the identity of Jocelyn from their hesitant expression of Morrison family. Immediately he was regretful that he had made such a mistake. The reason why Morrison family could be powerful and influencial in Yanjing for so many years, lied in that all the family members were cautious in their words and deeds. However, three years ago, the eldest daughter-inw in Morrison familymitted a murder. Although Morrison family intentionally suppressed the rumors, they could not avoid others'' private gossips. So it was obvious that he shouldn''t have mentioned her. Realizing that each person beside her had different thoughts, Jocelyn sneered and then extended her hand to Stan generously. "Hello, we should have met once at my wedding. Mr. Judd is still as handsome as you were three years ago. Today it is your wedding and you are full of happiness and energy." N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. She looked generous and graceful, without any sense of embarrassment. She slightly raised her chin when speaking, which made her more noble so that no one dared tough at her. Not only Stan, but also the members in Morrison family were stunned. It had been epted that the eldest daughter-inw of Morrison family was cowardly. She used to tremble when she greeted people outside. Now after she was imprisoned, she had been so different. Stan was also stunned for a moment. He just felt that her eyes was very familiar inexplicably when Jocelyn looked at him, but he had no time to think deeply and hurried to answer the question. "I''m awkward. I''ll punish myself with a ss of wine to apologize to the sister-inw." His greeting cleverly concealed the embarrassment just now. Before entering the door, the old master of Morrison family nodded slightly towards Jocelyn to show the appreciation in his eyes. Jocelyn smiled lightly and nodded her head as a response. She looked back at Stan unconsciously at the moment of lowering her head, and then she clearly looked loneliness. Sitting in the wheelchair, from his point of view, Arthur saw every change of Jocelyn''s expression. When he saw this, he looked confused and grim. The wedding was very simple, even without swearing part and band ying. The host announced that it was time for exchange of rings. Then that was going on quietly. Jocelyn stood in the crowd. And her mobile phone was running video recording mode. In the picture frame were Stan Judd and Monica Tours who were exchanging rings on the stage. Chapter 15: Embezzle Joanne Leonards Painting Chapter 15: Embezzle Joanne Leonard''s Painting It seemed that Stan was anxious to end such a ceremony. After exchanging rings, he immediately held Monica''s hand and stepped down to greet the guests as if he was eager to conceal something. Going to a remote corner where there was nobody else, Jocelyn indifferently sent the video she had took using her mobile phone to someone, and then she lowered her voice and said on the phone, "The video about the first part of the wedding has been sent to you. After ou pay the remaining sum, I will send the second part to you." Soon, with a sound of "ding", she had received a message which showed the receipt information of her bank ount . She counted the bnce, raised her lips satisfactorily, and sent the second half of the video to that person. Stan had betrayed her but still wanted to show that he was faithful. It could not be impossible. Don''t dream. Did he really think that if everything was simplified at the wedding, he could still be the good man who never gave up looking for his wife? The guests passed Jocelyn, greeted each other and gossiped, "The wedding of Judd family is too shabby." This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. "It''s because Stan''s fiancee has just died and he has recently offered a reward of 5 million for seeking his wife on TV, and now he is marrying another woman. What will people say if he makes a wasteful arrangements for the wedding?" "It will be very heartless. But why is he so anxious to marry? It is a little adventurous. There are so many people here." "I''m afraid that it is the bride who is eager to marry Stan. I''ve heard that the bride has been pregnant for three months. If she doesn''t get married, others will find that." "Really..." "Of course, my friend is the bridesmaid ..." Hearing the chatters of the people in the corner, Jocelyn held the cup more tightly, and looked at the bride with her cold eyes who was toasting the guests in the distance. Three months ago, it was the time for her to discuss her engagement with Stan. In the distance, Monica in the white wedding dress was holding Stan''s arm and was chatting with Morrison family. Jocelyn put away her mobile phone and walked over with a cup of wine in her hand. As soon as she approached, she heard Monica'' sweet and charming voice. "I have heard that Grandpa, you likes Jason Hawk''s paintings and calligraphy. I have wanted to give away one painting to you when celebrating your birthday. But I was in France at that time. It is so coincidental today. I know you wille here, so I exclusively bring the painting here." "Nowadays, there are not many Mr. Hawk''s paintings and calligraphy left on the market. One of the most famous is the painting on pines. Unfortunately, they are all fakes on the market, and the authentic one has long been lost." Hearing that, Stan made an eye contact with Monica. "It''s the painting you said." Holding Monica'' shoulders in his arm, Stan looked proudly and said. "In order to find this painting, Monica has asked many friends and finally she bought it at a high price from a real estate dealer in Hong Kong half a year ago." "Really?" The old man was overjoyed, "Then I have to look at it." When Jocelyn went there, Monica had asked servant to bring the painting. Seeing that there was famous painting to appreciate, the guests spontaneously surrounded them. When she saw the painting, Jocelyn frowned and her nails almost pinched into her palms. It was impossible that the painting was bought at a high price from a Hong Kong businessman half a year ago. This painting had been hanging in her father''s study room since she was a child. It was just one of her father''s collections. Looking at the painting, the old man looked more and more solemn. "It must be true. Grandpa, I can assure you." Stan looked very confident, "If this painting is false, then all the Jason Hawk''s paintings on the market must be false." Among the guests, there were many people who understood calligraphy and painting. They nodded their heads after watching the painting for a long time. "Grandpa, can you show it to me?" Standing beside for a long time, Jocelyn looked at the scene and seized the opportunity. Then she said that in her clear and powerful voice. All of a sudden, the people present kept silent. Chapter 16: Was This a Fake Chapter 16: Was This a Fake All people present looked at Jocelyn. Among them, most didn''t know Jocelyn before. Hearing from others that she was the eldest daughter-in w of Morrison family who was imprisoned three years ago, everyone was curious. The hall became quiet. Mr. Morrison looked at her with his meaningful eyes, "Do you understand painting and calligraphy?" Jocelyn looked at the painting and smiled, "Not much. But I have made a little more research on the calligraphy and painting of Mr. Hawk." Arthur Morrison showed a contemptuous look beside her but said nothing because there were so many guests present Jocelyn, a soreheaddy who was not spoiled at home, did she usually get in touch with antique paintings and calligraphy? She dared to show off in front of so may people. In order to attract others'' attention, she even didn''t care losing face. Mr. Morrison hesitantly to give up his position at the table and uttered two thick sybles, " Then,e and see." Jocelyn nodded and approached, "This is the Jason Hawk''s painting ''Pine in the Sunshine'', professionally speaking, ''Pine Pictures''." Her words immediately made Mr. Morrison gentle. Although the gap between professionals and non- professionals was not so big, but only the two words had already pointed out the mystery of the painting. "When Jason Hawk made this picture of mountain pine, he just became famous. In order to prevent the proliferation of counterfeit products, the pigment used in the eastern sunrise in his painting was made of powdered red perlite. The light reflected by the pigment particles under the sunlight just fell on a little squirrel in the left branch of the pine tree. Even if someone on the market imitated it, it would be impossible to do so, less alone to fully control the refraction of the light." "Hey? I think in this painting the light is on that squirrel?" Someone in the crowd asked, "That''s true." Jocelyn shook her head and pointed to the position of the light refraction. "It''s true that this light shines on the squirrel in this painting, but after so many years of weathering, red perlite should have been covered with ayer of dust. How can it refract light again?" After finishing speaking, everyone was stunned, and gradually someone nodded their head and agreed. The old man frowned and he raised his hand to touch the sun in the painting. His eyebrows wrinkled slightly, at the same time, he had made a decision. "Stan, put the picture away." He said calmly. Stan was so embarrassed that he was anxious to find a chink to infix. "Impossible." Monica looked grim and she looked at Jocelyn unhappily, "This is one of Jason Leonard''s collections. How can he possibly collect a fake painting?" "Jason Leonard? The Chairman of Leonard Group''s Consortium?" Jocelyn looked at her with a surprised look, "Didn''t Mrs. Judd just say you have bought it from a businessman in Hong Kong ?" The reason why Jocelyn said that was only to prod Stan and Monica into action. Unexpectedly, Monica was so anxious that she got into her trap. At the moment that she realized she had made a mistake, Monica'' face turned white immediately. The hall became noisy suddenly. Everyone knew that Jason Leonard, the chairman of Leonard Group''s Consortium, was died in a fire. Everything in his family was blocked and left for estate settlement. Stan''s fiancee was Jason Leonard''s only daughter, Joanne Leonard. Why did his former father-inw''s collection appear here today? Mr. Morrison looked grim and he looked at Stan unhappily, then asked, "Stan, what do you mean by that?" "Grandpa, I just know you like this painting, so..." Jocelyn stood beside the old man and interrupted Stan, warning, "Mr. Judd, it doesn''t matter whether the painting is true or not. It''s just that us, the younger generation, want to show filial respect for the elder. Grandpa won''t care too much about it. But if you get this painting in the wrong way and give it to Grandpa in this way, it will incur the mischief."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Chapter 17: The Dispute Chapter 17: The Dispute Jocelyn''s words made everyone present take a cold breath. Stan changed his face. Fearing that his grandfather would misunderstand him, he exined urgently, "This is what I bought from Uncle Leonard before. It''s really only because I know you like Jason Hawk''s calligraphy and paintings, I take the liberty to bring it here. It''s not of the questionable origin and I mean nothing. Grandpa, please don''t misunderstand me." "All right." Mr. Morrison rebuked him, and looked very angry. "Mr. Hawk is honest and upright. He is a model of our politicians. You can''t even tell the origin of this painting. What else can you exin? Then, don''t mention it any more. You put away this painting. Whether it is true or false, I shouldn''t have seen it. Conduct yourself well. After saying that, the old man turned around and looked cold, "Today, I have drunk the wedding wine. I have something else to deal with so I will leave first. Jocelyn and Arthur, you two stay here on the behalf of me." The most terrible thing for the military and political families was to receive the things of questionable origin. Jocelyn''s words were not exaggerated. If they didn''t pay attention to it, they would really die of that. It had been polite enough for the old man just to leave. As soon as the old man left, Stan looked angry and grim. Immediately, he and Monica made an excuse to let the crowd disperse and they went to the lounge in disgrace. "When did you understand painting and calligraphy?" Julia Morrison stood aside and looked at Jocelyn suspiciously, "Who taught you that in your family?" Jocelyn Tuner nced at her and said, "I like that. So I just have studied that a little more." "What are you proud of?" Julia Morrison was dissatisfied with her tone of voice when she spoke to her like this, "You just understand the pictures and calligraphy, which is not worthy being proud. I am really reluctant to stand with you." Saying that, she walked away with her hand lifting her skirt. Jocelyn longed for her to leave early. From the very beginning, her eyes had been following the direction that Stan and Monica went to. "Isn''t it said that the elder daughter-inw were cowardly and could not behave in good manners? It seemed that is not true." "You are right. I think she''s a wise person. If she was not here today and Mr. Morrison epted the painting, it would be embarrassing to be reported when the Leonard family finished distributed their heritage and their other rtives found out that." "..." The guests were chatting with each other. No one noticed Arthur, the disabled elder young master of Morrison family, was sitting in an unattractive corner and looking on this coldly. He put his hands on the nket covered his knees with his fingers crossed and listened quietly to the gossip of the people around him. He couldn''t help thinking of all her behaviors after Jocelyn came back. He felt more suspicious andN?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. asked the servant beside him. "What about her?" The servant was stunned. "The young hostess? She was here just now. Perhaps, she is going to the lounge. Jocelyn followed Stan and Monica to get to the lounge. Since Monica appeared at the beginning of the wedding, she had noticed something on Monica that belonged to her and she had to brought it back. The sound of argument came out of the lounge. And Stan''s tone was full of annoyance. "I have just said we shouldn''t meddle with the things of Leonard family. You have to show off. Grandpa has seen lots of things before. That''s all right. Now we are getting into trouble through clever means." Monica was grieved and choked, "I''m only thinking of you. You said that the business of Judd family could be so sessful, depending more or less on the rtionship with the old master of Morrison family. And I give away the painting to him with your consent. But I don''t expect that the woman who came out halfway will disturb our n. If you want to me someone, you should me her." The two were all good at shirking their responsibilities. Their behaviors of stealing things from Leonard family and ming others for revealing the truth, made Jocelyn could not help sneering. "Who?" Stan''s cold voice came out in the room and then he looked towards the door. Chapter 18: Loved in A Fallen City Chapter 18: Loved in A Fallen City When Jocelyn heard the interrogation, her heart did a flip.She took a deep breath after settling down, pushed the door in and said generously. "It''s me." The look of Stan and Monica changed after seeing the visitor clearly,but for the sake of face, Stan had to hold the anger to greet. "Why did the sister-inwe?" Jocelyn looked at them and asked as if did not know. "I just heard you are arguing. Marriage is a happy event. Why are you still so unhappy?" It was obvious that she knew what the thing was,but deliberately asked, which made Stan looked worse. "Sister-inw should have misheard, we just spoke a little louder and didn''t dispute." Stan barely kept calm, when he looked at Jocelyn, there was contempt that could not be concealed in his eyes.In his eyes, Jocelyn was just an ordinary woman who was not spoiled and without power and status. "If nothing happens, the sister-inw had better go out. I and my wife still have something to say." "Are you a couple?"Jocelyn looked at them carefully, her eyes became cold suddenly,and then said as if thinking of something.

"What do you mean?"Stan''s look changed. "It doesn''t mean anything." Jocelyn slowly approached, "I just want to tell Mr. Judd and Mrs. Judd some truth, for example, if people walk too much at night, people will encounter ghosts.Another example is that tit for tat,it is a matter of course." Before, in order to speak conveniently, only amp with weak light was turned on in the lounge. The light was shining on her face at the moment, her facial features were indistinct.The familiar look and resentful expression were imprinted in Stan''s eyes, he immediately thought of a person and took a sudden step backward,his face turned white. Monica didn''t know what happened and said unhappily,"What do you mean? Don''t y tricks to mess up secretly. You bully people depend on you are a member of the Morrison family.You......"

A loud and powerful word rang out in the room. "This ne is the same as the paintings and calligraphy. They are all stolen by you. What qualifications do you have to hold them?"Jocelyn''s look was cold,her eyes sparkled. Stan and Monica were so frightened that they couldn''t say a word.

Stan''s face looked tense and his lips were shaking, "How do you know that?" Jocelyn clutched the ne, stood upright and looked coldly at the two panicked people in front of her.Despite her figure was very thin, her momentum was so powerful.She sneered, "Do you believe that the death can be resurrected?"

Although she looked very thin, she was very powerful and then she sneered, "Do you believe that a died person can be reborn?" Just one sentence had made Stan and Monica extremely frightened, even their eyes were full of fear. At this moment, Jocelyn just like a ghost, looked at them in her cold and deep eyes. "Don''t purposely make a mystery!" In a panic, Monica grabbed the sleeve of Stan and hid behind him all the time, "What the hell are you going to do?" Stan looked at her motionlessly, as if he wanted to see another person on her face, and then he asked in a trembling voice. "Who the hell are you?" Hearing this, Jocelyn sneered, "Joanne let me tell you that everything has its cause and effect. It''s not true that you won''t get the retribution, even if you do something evil. It is only because it is not the time for you to be punished. Now I am going to take her things away." After saying that, she left the lounge. Then, the sound of table and chair rubbing on the ground was particrly harsh, apanied by the sound of Monica'' exmation. The men and women seemed to be so frightened that they both fell down. Walking to the door of the lounge, Jocelynughed at herself that the man she had loved for three years was such a rubbish. Now recalling her past, she thought she was really silly at that time.

Who else can I be? Arthur apparently did not believe it, and he looked more cold and grim. Jocelyn pinched her palms, and the pain made her look very aggrieved, "Since we didn''t enter the banquet hall, Stan had looked down on me. I am your wife. But he made me lose face in front of so many people. Shouldn''t I still respect him and be polite to him?" She said that angrily and innocently. It wasprehensible that women were all narrow-minded.

Moreover, he intends to give away a painting without the clear origin to grandfather. If something happened, it would be benefit to the political opponents of Morrison family. He has set the trap to frame Morrison family again and again, so that Grandpa has been too angry and has left. I am extremely angry so I just frighten him as the punishment."

Chapter 20: ying in This Exciting Way? A query failed. Although Arthur let her go, his doubts were deeper.

From small personal grievances to big family rise and fall, she analyzed step by step with full of confidence. With such a glib tongue and a ready response, she wasn¡¯t like the timid woman she used to be. He was afraid that they would have to find out what happened to her these three years in prison!

It was impossible toe back from the dead.¡± Monica thumped the table angrily, ¡°Stan, isn¡¯t she the wife of your godfather¡¯s eldest son? What¡¯s her problem with you? Why does she scare us?¡± Stan, who had been sitting on the sofa since his return, said nothing, and then raised his head slowly, as if he had been awakened by the words of Monica. He said, ¡°problems?¡± Before the wedding, at the door, it was really a slip of the tongue that he humiliated her. Was it because of this? Stan immediately told Monica what had happened, and she ¡°figured it out¡± and said in rage, ¡°It was no wonder that she was against us again and again. Because of such a small matter, she was aggressive, and it was no wonder that she was neglected in Shao family!¡± Monica gnashed for a moment, ¡°no, I can¡¯t bear that.¡± ¡°What are you going to do?¡± After whispering, Stan frowned. Stan was reluctant initially, but he was persuaded by Monica. He agreed finally. Jocelyn showed up at the party and Selena Alger changed her attitude and was nice to Jocelyn. The rumor that the eldest daughter-inw was neglected in Shao family was proved false. People who had looked down upon her, looked up at her with new eyes and a number of people came forward to court her. Offering help in time of need is difficult, but adding flowers to the cake is easy. Looking at these people¡¯s hypocritical faces, Jocelyn sneered in the heart, but she didn¡¯t show it and only showed her civility before them. All¡¯s fish thates to her. As time went on, she drank quite a lot. ¡°Jocelyn seems to be drinking a lot?¡± Hearing a concerned voice, Jocelyn looked up and it turned out to be Monica'' maid of honor. ¡°Not much. I can¡¯t drink very well.¡± Jocelyn humbly said. In her previous life, it was no exaggeration to say that she never got drunk. ¡°I happen to be living here these two days. Jocelyn, if you don¡¯t mind, you can go to my room for a rest.¡± Jocelyn looked at her warily. The eyes of the maid of honor were evasive. ¡°Well, Monica wasn¡¯t feeling well and couldn¡¯te out in person, so she asked me toe out and take a look.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Jocelyn pretended to let her guard down, ¡°well, is your room far from here?¡± ¡°It is not far from here. It¡¯s only two steps from the banquet hall. Youe with me.¡± ¡°Ok.¡± Jocelyn left the ballroom with Monica'' maid of honor. She wanted to figure out what trick Monica was ying. It was not very far indeed. When she reached the door, she was about to turn round to say something, but the door opened suddenly. A hand reached out, took her by the arm, and drew her in. Before she knew it, the door mmed. The room was dimly lit. Jocelyn was pushed to the bed by the irresistible force, and then she smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
