《Super CEO Daddy And His Baby Triplets》 Chapter 1 She Was the First Woman He Ever Slept With Chapter 1She Was the First Woman He Ever Slept With Chapter 1 She Was the First Woman He Ever Slept With Jocelyn Murray fell on a sofa. Her fancy dress was ripped apart which exposed her slender and beautiful thighs. She thought she was being burned by fire because of the intense heat she felt, and she was too weak and dizzy to stand up. Jocelyn stared nkly at Theresa Chavez, her best friend. "Theresa! I feel like the world is spinning!" Theresa knew this could happen. Instead of being friendly to Jocelyn as usual, Theresa said nonchntly, "You''re feeling lightheaded because I put something in your drink. You''re gonna be horny soon. You won''t be able to stop yourself from pleading with that obnoxious director, Mr. Dowey, to sleep with you. Tomorrow morning, a swarm of reporters will wait outside of your room to take pictures of you. You''ll be making headlines as a slut. I know what the title should be! How about ''Iconic Actress Jocelyn Is Actually a Whore''?" Jocelyn felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife after hearing Theresa''s sarcastic words. "How could you do that to me, Theresa? You''ve always been my best friend." "Hmph! Why do you keep stealing my thunder if you''re truly my best friend? I''d be a famous actress now if it weren''t for you." Theresa''s eyes widened in an ugly disy of jealousy as she stared at her friend. She then sneered as she grabbed Jocelyn by the hair and yanked her head back, saying, "You''ll be a nobody after tonight. Everything you have will be mine, including your boyfriend Ernest Cloutier. I''ll tell you what, I''ve already slept with him." Jocelyn opened her dry lips and stared insistently at Theresa, but no sound came out. Her heart ached as if it had been shed with a knife. Jocelyn had no idea her boyfriend and best friend were having an affair behind her back. "My best friend, take your time and enjoy the night!" Before she left the room, Theresa released her grip and kicked Jocelyn hard. Jocelyn clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms the moment the door was shut. She was weak, but she bit her lower lip and stood up because she didn''t want Theresa to get what she wanted. Jocelyn knew she had to leave as soon as possible. Jocelyn made her way to the door while gasping for air and attempted to open it. At the next second, a man''s hand reached around from behind her and pressed hard against the door. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Ah!" Jocelyn screamed in terror because she thought she was alone in the room. Her back rested against the man''s broad, warm chest as he pressed her against the door. She could feel the man''s warm breath against her ear and smell the pleasant scent of his body. She shivered in fear because she was so close to the man behind her and had no idea who he was. "I''ll give you 20 million dors if you help me..." His voice was low and sounded so icy cold that it sent a chill down her spine. The man''s glowing eyes in the dark made him sinister and threatening as if he were a wild animal ready to attack his prey at any moment. The money didn''t appeal to her because she also needed help. "I''m feeling so ufortable." Jocelyn whimpered. She could feel the horrible heat inside her body rising and suffocating her. Early next morning, the man put on his suit jacket showing his trim figure and refined manners. His beautiful features made him as frigid as a statue, nothing like the ferocious manst night. He nced at the woman in bed, who was sound asleep. Even though her long hair obscured her face, he remembered how attractive she had been the night before. Calvin Austin ced his treasured pocket watch in the woman''s hand before leaving. He''d never slept with any woman before. "She''s delicious," he thought to himself. When Calvin opened the door to the room, reporters swarmed to snap pictures of him. But they were all taken aback when they looked up and saw who was standing in the doorway. No one dared to cross Calvin Austin because everyone knew he was the most respectable and wealthy man in Glebey city. The reporters looked at him fearfully like facing their doom. Calvin would make anyone who messed with his life a living hell. Calvin appeared to be as elegant and noble as a king. He asked, with his eyes narrowed, "Are you taking pictures of me? How did you get the nerve to do that?" "I''m sorry, Mr. Austin." "We had no idea it would be you." Calvin had never had a scandal in his life because he would ruin the media outlets who dared to report on it. The reporters dropped their cameras and snapped their memory cards to save their lives. "Mr. Austin, we''ve destroyed our cameras." "Get out!" Calvin growled. The reporters were so terrified that they fled immediately. Jocelyn awoke feeling uneasy as if her entire body was about to fall apart. She became enraged as she remembered what had happened the night before. She figured Theresa was the one to me for making her have sex with a stranger. She felt a hint of sadness after losing her virginity to aplete stranger. Once Jocelyn realized she was holding a pocket watch, she assumed it had been given to her by the mysterious man. "Forget about it. It''s better to sleep with a stranger than Mr. Dowey." Jocelyn left the hotel after putting on her mask, but she was surprised not to see a single reporter along the way. She nned to go to the Icehive Entertainment building and confront Ernest about what was going on. She could hear a conversation inside the president''s office before she arrived at the door. "Ernest, you''re such a bad boy! Who do you love more, me or Jocelyn?" "It must be you! I''ve never been attracted to her. I only signed her because of her money and poprity. You see, we screwed her around like a fool." Jocelyn was in so much pain after hearing Ernest''s words that she couldn''t even breathe. She mmed his office door open in a rage and yelled, "Ernest, I never imagined you''d be using me all this time! You should both burn in hell!" Theresa was sitting on Ernest''sp when Jocelyn broke in the door. She immediately jumped to her feet and eximed, "Jocelyn, shouldn''t you be at the hotel now?" Jocelyn walked up to Theresa and pped her hard. She shouted angrily, "Yes, you didn''t ruin my life the way you wanted! Did that disappoint you? It hurts me to say this, but I wish I had known you were a horrible person in the first ce! You and I are no longer friends from now on!" Jocelyn felt heartbroken when she saw Ernest. She had no idea that all of his sweet words were actually lies. "Ernest, you bastard! How could you cheat on me? You love her more, don''t you? I''m breaking up with you right now! I''ll quit! I hope you two suckers stick together forever!" Jocelyn walked out straightly after shouting these words and mming the door. She forced herself to keep herposure in front of them despite how badly she felt. The worst possible thing happened to her then. The news that Jocelyn was leaving show business sent the inte into a frenzy. Icehive Entertainment immediately gave Theresa all of Jocelyn''s job opportunities, and her posters were removed from ces throughout town. Jocelyn was no longer featured in anymercials and was even reced in her role in a TV show that she was shooting. The cancetion extended to the contracts she was keen on as well. Icehive Entertainment abruptly canceled Jocelyn after only one night. It was as if she''d gone straight from heaven to hell. Within a month, she was the target of numerous malicious rumors. She went from being a popr movie star to "the scourge of society." Jocelyn''s desperation only grew as time went on. Everything she had ever owned now vanished. Everyone turned their backs on her, and even her father kicked her out of the house. As she stood on the beach, looking out at sea, Jocelyn thought of her mother. While crying, she said, "Mom, I''m so desperate. If you were still around, nobody would hurt me like that." "Mom, I want to go to heaven to see you. But the doctor told me I''m pregnant." Jocelyn dried her eyes. Her gaze turned tough, and her resolve strengthened as she touched her belly. She didn''t know who the man that night was, but the baby had done nothing wrong. "I''m done crying, Mom. I''ll have to be rough around the edges. I''ll get back everything that belonged to me!" Jocelyn thought to herself. Chapter 2 A Chaotic Engagement Party Chapter 2 A Chaotic Engagement Party Chapter 2 A Chaotic Engagement Party Five yearster, in the center of Glebey''s bustling downtown, avish engagement ceremony was disyed on a shopping mall advertisement screen. A man and a woman on the stage held their hands tightly, both beaming with happiness. The man looked dashing in his fancy suit, and the woman was radiant and stunning in her white dress. Jocelyn, who was in a car, red at the couple on the screen venomously through the window. "Ernest Cloutier! Theresa Chavez!" Jocelyn was surprised to learn that the two jerks were ready to tie the knot after five years together. Jocelyn fixed her gaze on the two figures on the screen, her hatred for them growing deeper and deeper. Even though it had been five years, Jocelyn remembered clearly how Theresa had set her up and how Ernest had permanently banned her from the entertainment industry. Together, they pushed Jocelyn to the brink of despair. However, Jocelyn did not give in to her grief. She returned to the city five yearster to exact her revenge. Her phone suddenly rang. It was her son Jeffrey Murray. Jeffrey proudly said, "Mommy, I''m at the hotel now. I''ve finished the assignment you gave me!" "Awesome!" "Tammy and I are going into the venue right now!" Jocelyn nodded and smiled, "Okay." Jeffrey was a rare child prodigy who knew a little about programming, so soon, everyone watching the ceremony would have the opportunity to see some shocking pictures. Ernest and Theresa exchanged vows in front of their many guests in the magnificent hall. On the screen behind them, slides were showing their romantic photos since they fell in love. Theresa was ovee with joy the moment Ernest ced the engagement ring on her finger. But just as he was about to kiss his fianc¨¦e, the images on the screen vanished. Their pictures turned into a video of Theresa making out with an ugly old man. All of the guests who noticed the screen recognized the woman as Theresa, but the man was not Ernest. "What exactly is going on? That''s not Ernest, is it?" "Oh, my God! Theresa is having sex with another man!" "Doesn''t Mr. Cloutier know his fianc¨¦e is cheating on him?" Ernest and Theresa both turned their heads at the same time to look at the screen behind them when they heard the crowd talking. Ernest yelled furiously after seeing the video, "Theresa, what the hell is that?" Theresa was terrified. She quickly exined, "I have no idea! I''m not that woman! I never betrayed you!" "Do you think I''m a goddamn fool?" Ernest shook her hand violently, then growled at the staff, "Turn that thing off! Now!" The staff, however, could not stop the video, no matter how hard they tried. The video not only continued to y, but it became increasingly obscene. Theresa was trying to exin when two kids darted into the ballroom. One was a dapper little boy in a ck suit, and the other was a sweet little girl in a pretty dress. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g The two little ones ran straight toward Theresa. "Mommy! We finally found you!" The fact that they called Theresa "Mommy" surprised everyone because no one knew she had any child. Theresa was utterly taken aback. As she shoved the little girl away, she yelled, "Stop! Don''t call me "mommy"! Why are you saying that? Security! Get them out of here!" Jeffrey immediately picked up his sister, Tammy Murray, from the ground. Tammy exchanged a nce with her brother before breaking down in tears. She again reached for Theresa''s wedding dress and said, "Please tell me you still love me, Mommy. Are you going to leave me? Mommy!" Jeffrey also started pulling down on Theresa''s wedding dress. "Mommy, you can''t abandon me and my sister! We just want to stay with you. I''m begging you! Don''t marry that man!" Theresa''s strapless wedding dress fell off when two kids pulled down on it. Theresa''s top half was exposed, and everyone saw that she was only wearing two nipple pads. Theresa began to feel a chill before realizing her dress had gone missing. She covered her chest while screaming and yelled, "Ah! Ernest, help me! Please help me!" The engagement ceremony turned into a farce. Theresa was at a loss for words, and Ernest appeared enraged. After learning that his fianc¨¦e had cheated on him, he was told that she may have had two children without telling him. He had never felt so humiliated in public before. "What have you done, Theresa? You made me so disappointed! Maybe you can help yourself." Ernest was so angry that he pped her and threw her arm away. Theresa cried so hard that she copsed to the floor. Her makeup was in a mess. Afterpleting their task, Jeffrey and Tammy snuck out of the ballroom in silence. A woman appeared at the ballroom''s entrance just as Ernest was about to end the ridiculous ceremony. She dressed elegantly in a ck evening gown and walked toward him elegantly. A white paper flower was pinned on her ck hair., and the half mask she wore revealed her delicate nose and her red lips. She appeared to be refined and ssy. The woman became the focus when she walked into the room. Everyone wondered if she went to the wrong room because she was dressed as if she were going to a funeral. "Hello, Mr. Cloutier and Ms. Chavez. It''s been a while!" "Are you Jocelyn? That''s impossible!" The moment Theresaid eyes on Jocelyn, she was ovee with fear. She stared at Jocelyn and thought, "I thought she had died of drowning five years ago. Why is she at my engagement ceremony?" Ernest suddenly realized why strange things had just happened when he saw Jocelyn. He hadn''t expected to find her alive and well. Rumor has it that after Jocelyn was fired from the entertainment industry five years ago, she jumped off into the ocean, where her rotting corpse waster discovered. Everyone assumed Jocelyn had died, so they were shocked when they saw her. They even suspected that she was a ghost. "Jocelyn? Is it you?" "I know what it is! It was because of her! She''s trying to get back at us." Theresa came back to her senses and screamed. She not only ruined their engagement, but she also ruined their reputation. "What do you want, Jocelyn?" Ernest shouted furiously. "I''m only here to give you two a wedding gift! If you don''t like the gift you just received, I have another one for you." Although Jocelyn was smiling, she looked as cruel as if she hade straight from hell. After she pped her hands, a line of people soon arrived at the door, and every two of them were carrying a big standing spray. The standing sprays were ced in the middle of both sides of the ballroom, with words of blessing written on white ribbons that seemed incredibly ironic. The engagement was broadcast live, so countless viewers could see what was going on from the live feed. Jocelyn humiliated Ernest, Theresa, and their families, but that was only the beginning of her revenge n. ... Chapter 3 His Heart Melts Chapter 3 His Heart Melts Chapter 3 His Heart Melts "Jocelyn Murray, why are you trying to ruin my engagement ceremony? I can''t believe this! Security! Get this crazy woman out of here!" Jocelyn left the hall with a sneer as she hadpleted her task. She dashed down the corridor, trailed by the bodyguards who were dying to catch her. As she rounded a corner, she noticed a tall, muscr man on the phone by a wall. Jocelyn immediately had a brilliant n. She approached the man, jumped into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled his head down. She kissed him on the lips to stop him from talking. The bouncers thought they were just a couple when they passed by them, so they ran on without even suspecting that she was Jocelyn. Jocelyn let go of the man when the footsteps faded away, and only then did she get a better look at his face. His features were exquisite, like a sculpture or God''s most intricate work of art. And he had the quiet authority of a king, exuding dignity. "He''s so hot!" She thought to herself. "What are you doing?" An offended look crossed Calvin Austin''s face as he asked through clenched teeth. Jocelyn shuddered at the realization that the man was so pissed that he seemed to want to murder her. There was an instant grin on her face as she continued, "Please ept my apologies, sir. I was hoping to ask you for a favor." "But I didn''t agree to help you." He red at her as if he wanted her to vanish from the. He''d never met a woman who was so daring as to kiss him without first asking his permission. He wished he could send her to hell. "Uh..." It was true that Jocelyn hadn''t asked his permission beforehand, but she had only done so because she had just been in an emergency. Calvin was still on the phone with someone. On the other end of the line, Jocelyn heard a woman say, "Calvin, why aren''t you answering me? Let me tell you something, you have to find a girlfriend as soon as possible. You can even get married to a man! I''m going to throw myself off a cliff if I don''t meet my future daughter-inw when I get home." Jocelyn found the woman''s words amusing. She had no idea the man''s mother was urging him to marry. After Calvin hung up the phone, he asked angrily, "Are youughing at me?" Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "I''m sorry! I shouldn''t have done that!" Jocelyn apologized to him again and then quickly snuck away before he could punish her. "Hey!" Calvin shouted, but she didn''t stop. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at her back. He thought, "Wow, she sure has a lot of guts. She had better begin hoping she won''t run into me again." Jocelyn returned to her car after leaving the hotel and found that only her assistant, Katie Walker, was there. She asked, "Katie, have Jeffrey and Tammye back yet?" "Not yet!" "Oh, crap! What happened to them?" ording to their n, the two kids were supposed to go straight back to the car after they ruined the wedding. Jocelyn suspected they hadn''t returned because Ernest''s bodyguards had caught them. Jocelyn couldn''t help feeling worried, so she and Katie started looking for the kids together. Jeffrey and Tammy were wandering around the hotel at this time. Surveying the rows of identical hotel room doors, Tammy pouted as she asked Jeff, "Which one is Daddy''s room?" "It''s right in front. Just follow my instructions when we get there." Jeffrey had done some research to find out who their father was. He narrowed it down to a man named Todd Garner, who was in love with Jocelyn five years ago. Jeffery assumed that Todd was most likely to be their biological father. "Why me again?" Tammy asked unhappily. She had just cried in front of everyone in the ballroom. Plus, she felt sore in the butt after being pushed to the floor by Theresa. "I mean, look at you, you''re the adorable one! He won''t suspect a thing if you fall in front of him." After realizing that Tammy was not willing to give in, Jeffrey kept trying to convince her. "If you behave well, I''ll get you a lollipop." Tammy''s eyes widened in excitement because she had a sweet tooth. "A lollipop? Yeah! I want lots and lots of lollipops." "Okay! I''ll buy you ten lollipops!" "That''s not enough! I want eight lollipops!" "Uh... Fine!" Jeffrey thought, "It seems like you''ve been improving your math skills." Jeffrey told Tammy to hide around the corner after they reached the room''s door. After giving her instructions, he stayed out of sight to observe how she carried the show out. The room door soon opened, and a man walked out a few secondster. He took a step in the direction of Tammy. Tammy was overjoyed when she noticed a handsome man approaching her. "My daddy is so handsome!" She smiled happily to herself. "Ah!" Tammy rushed to the man and copsed, just as she and Jeffrey had nned. Seeing that she was still some distance from the man, Tammy rolled forward several more times until she was lying at his feet. Jeffrey became increasingly embarrassed as he observed his sister''s exaggerated acting, as she made it appear to be deliberate. Calvin came to aplete stop when he saw a little girl fall down in front of him. The little girl had the chubby and adorable face like an apple and the bright and sparkling eyes like diamonds. He wondered why this little girl was at a hotel alone. "Ouch! That hurts!" Tammy was a good actor, as she quickly burst into tears. Calvin''s heart melted when he saw the little girl''s adorable face. With Tammy in his arms, he asked, "Is everything all right, kiddo? Where does it hurt?" "It hurts everywhere!" Tammy indicated that her entire body hurt by pointing to her head, stomach, and hands. "Aw. It''s okay. Do you still feel pain? Where are your parents?" Tammy clung to Calvin''s neck as he tried to put her down, and he eventually gave up. "I can''t find my mom. Can you take me home?" "Who are your mom and dad? Do you remember their phone numbers?" Tammy shook her head sadly, her tears continuing to flow. "I can''t remember that!" "Don''t cry. I''ll take you home now and help you find your family, okay?" Calvin was confused by his feelings of pity for the helpless little girl. Calvin walked away with Tammy in his arms. But he didn''t notice that the little girl resting her head on his shoulder was making a "victory" sign to Jeffrey. They hadpleted the first step of the n. Next, Jeffrey was going to find Jocelyn. Unfortunately for Jeffrey, he only caught a glimpse of the man''s back, so he failed to realize that this was not the Todd Garner he had been searching for. Jeffrey came back just as Jocelyn and Katie were about to call the police because they couldn''t find the kids. "Mommy! I''m back!" Jocelyn was concerned when she saw Jeffrey. She asked worriedly, "Where is Tammy, Jeffrey? Howe you''re all by yourself?" "Tammy met a gentleman and she went home with him. I didn''t manage to catch up with them." Jeffrey exined calmly. "What? What if he''s a bad guy?" ... Chapter 4 Found A Wife Chapter 4 Found A Wife Chapter 4 Found A Wife Jocelyn''s worry was making her a nervous wreck. Tammy was the child she was most worried about because she was trusting and naive and would follow anyone who offered her snacks home. "Don''t worry, mommy. The good news is, Tammy, is wearing a tracker that allows me to monitor her location in real-time." Jeffrey acted as though he had a brilliant idea. "Great! What are you waiting for?" Jocelyn had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Jeffrey. When Jeffreyunched the program on hisptop, he was able to pinpoint exactly where Tammy was. "I have located Tammy, Mom! It looks like they''re making their way to Tundra." "Katie, let''s go!" Katie began driving down the road Tammy had taken. Tammy quickly arrived at Fallcastle, which was located on Tundra, a mountain. Tammy saw a vi the size of a castle after Calvin carried her out of the car. She was taken aback and eximed, "Do you live in a castle, Mr. Austin? Are there any princesses or princes?" "There''s a prince here, but no princess." "Wow! It''s fantastic to live in arge castle. I''ve always wanted to live in a one!" Tammy, with a gleeful p of her hands, eximed. The servants were taken aback when Calvin walked into the house with Tammy. They were thinking to themselves, "Who''s that little girl? Could she be Mr. Austin''s love child?" Tammy was treated like a princess at Calvin''s ce, as he had the cook prepare a lot of delicious food for her. Tammy imagined herself in heaven as she gazed at the table piled high with her favorite foods. It was as full of delectable food as her fantasies. "Thank you very much, Mr. Austin. You are so thoughtful." Tammy wolfed down her food while giggling at Calvin. "It''s my pleasure." Calvin said gently and stroked her little head. He was baffled as to why the young girl, who couldn''t find her parents, didn''t appear to be in the least bit worried. He thought children would always cry when they couldn''t find their parents. Calvin left the living room after spending some time with the little girl. "Have you found her parents yet?" he asked of his assistant Oscar Jones. "Not yet, Mr. Austin. Nobody has reported their kid missing to the police yet." "That''s so weird!" Calvin was even more curious about who the girl was. Calvin returned to the living room at ten o''clock at night to discover that the little girl, who had been perky for the whole day, had lost her energy like a dead phone. Not only had she stopped eating, but she also appeared to be exhausted. She tried to raise the strawberry juice cup, but it toppled over and sshed all over her. "Tammy, what''s wrong?" In an instant, Calvin had a tissue ready to help her clean up the spilled juice. "I''m so sleepy." Tammy would fall asleep on time every night until 10 p.m. when she was too drowsy to keep her eyes open. After saying this, she copsed on the couch and fell asleep. Calvin couldn''t help butugh when he saw the way she acted. "Mr. Austin," Oscar said as he walked in, "a woman is at the door saying she''s here to see her daughter Tammy." Calvin thought things were heating up. He met a little girl out of nowhere, and then a woman arrived at his house looking for her daughter. He was very interested in learning who the child''s mother was and what she was nning. "Let her in!" "Yes!" Jocelyn noticed her daughter lying on the couch as soon as she entered the living room. A man sitting next to Tammy seemed like he was about to do something to her. "Ah! Bastard! Let go of my daughter!" Jocelyn sprinted over to the sofa and pushed Calvin off of it. She was so scared that she thought the jerk would have ruined her daughter if she had arrived a littleter. Calvinnded on the couch. When he realized that the woman was the same one who had kissed him earlier in the hotel, he stared at her in disbelief. Calvin pursed his lips as if he could still taste the sweetness of her kisses. "Damn! Is she pointing the finger at me? But I''ve never med her for what she did to me in the past." Jocelyn waspletely focused on Tammy. She screamed in terror when she saw her daughter lying motionless and her clothes stained with red liquid. "Ah! What have you done to my child? Why is she drenched in blood? You hideous beast! You murdered my daughter! I''m going to kill you!" Jocelyn became so agitated that she turned around and grabbed Calvin by the neck. Calvin shook her off and said, "Stop it, you crazy woman! Your daughter had just fallen asleep. And, it''s strawberry juice, not blood!" After Jocelyn smelled Tammy''s shirt, she realized it smelled like strawberry juice. She then believed her daughter was sleeping when she reached out and touched her. Jocelyn was no longer tense, but her eyes widened in shock as she realized who was the man beside her. "It''s you?" "Hmph!" A solemn expression crossed Calvin''s face as he rearranged his suit jacket. He red at her disdainfully, then stood up and walked away. "Nice try! Previously at the hotel, you came up to me on purpose and then ordered your daughter to fall in front of me. You took advantage of the situation by arranging for your daughter to go back home with me. Tell me, what exactly do you want from me? Why are you following me?" "I''m not following you!" Jocelyn took a few steps forward and continued, "You haven''t answered my question! Why did you kidnap my daughter? Are you a pedophile? Did you take her home because you thought she was cute?" "Are you calling me a pedo?" Calvin abruptly turned around. Jocelyn was caught off guard and collided with his chest, and her nose hurt from hitting his firm pecs. "Aren''t you? You almosty your evil hands on my daughter just now!" Jocelyn said. She could not rely on anything other than what she saw. Calvin found her charge ridiculous. His indifferent eyes widened and hardened into a re as he pushed Jocelyn up against the wardrobe. "Ah! What are you doing?" Jocelyn let out a terrified scream. "I''m going to demonstrate right now that I only like mature women and I have no interest in children." She had a faint pleasant body scent, and he could detect it because they were so close together. He bent over and passionately kissed her on the lips as if he couldn''t control himself. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Jocelyn''s eyes widened in horror after he kissed her, but she didn''t reject his kiss for some reason. Calvin became engrossed in the kiss because Jocelyn''s lips were so sweet and tender. He started to feel like he couldn''t live without her kisses. However, at that precise moment, a woman at the door said, "What, Calvin''s already back? Hmm? What''s with the high heels in here?" A beautiful woman with impable taste walked through the living room door shortly. Soon after she spotted the woman''s high heels on the floor, she noticed her son was kissing a woman by the wall. She saw a sexually suggestive picture was too much for most people to take in. "Calvin!" Beatrice Austin could hardly conceal her excitement. She began to thank God and even her forefathers. She was overjoyed that her son, who had been single for years, was finally finding love. Jocelyn was startled by Beatrice, so she pushed Calvin away in panic. ... Chapter 5 The Big Misunderstanding Chapter 5 The Big Misunderstanding Chapter 5 The Big Misunderstanding Calvin soon realized what was happening. He became as cold as usual when he turned around and met his mother''s gaze. "Who is this youngdy, Calvin?" Beatrice asked. Her face brightened as soon as she noticed the woman hiding behind her son. Calvin was unable to answer his mother''s question. He wrapped his arms around Jocelyn''s waist as if he had made a life-altering choice and exined, "Mom,e and meet my girlfriend!" Jocelyn gave him a disapproving look of surprise. Since she had no idea who he was, she had no interest in being his girlfriend. "Yes, stranger, I can see why you want your mom to stop worrying about you. Do you think it''s not appropriate to involve me in this?" She thought to herself. "What''s your name, my dear?" Beatrice sized up Jocelyn and asked. She thought she had seen her somewhere before. Beatrice found the youngdy to be as attractive as she had hoped her future daughter-inw would be. "Honey, tell Mom your name." Calvin had no idea who Jocelyn was, so he convinced her to cooperate with him by pinching her around the waist and winking at her. Unconsciously reacting to a tickle in her waist, Jocelyn twisted her body. However, she identally made it seem like she wanted to get closer to him. Jocelyn was forced to speak up after being confronted by Calvin''s threatening stare, "Mom. Oh! Sorry, madam. My name is Jocelyn Murray." Beatrice was overjoyed when she heard Jocelyn call her "Mom." "Are you Helena Murray''s daughter Jocelyn? Did you y a part in the TV show the Jones Girls when you were a kid?" Jocelyn''s eyes glowed. "Yeah! Do you know my mother and my show? " "Of course! And, your mom and I were once close friends." After learning that Jocelyn would be her future "daughter-inw," Beatrice''s joy grew. She turned to face her son and asked, "How long have you been together? Why you kept it a secret from me." "We''ve been dating for quite some time. I didn''t tell you because I wanted to surprise you." Calvin began to be grateful for the fact that Jocelyn was there. Otherwise, if Beatrice returned unexpectedly, he wouldn''t be able to find a suitable woman to pretend to be his girlfriend right away. Nheless, he was surprised to learn that Jocelyn was Helena Murray''s daughter. "Are you Jocelyn Murray, who just announced her retirement after winning Best Actress five years ago? I had no idea you''re a mother." The thought crossed Calvin''s mind. He had a feeling the previous rumor about her eloping with a rich foreigner was true. "Nice! Wouldn''t that be perfect? How about you two get married tomorrow?" Beatrice was so satisfied with her "daughter-inw" that she wanted them to marry as soon as possible. "Huh? Isn''t that too soon for us? Jocelyn felt like crying. She hoped she could find her daughter there rather than being forced into an arranged marriage. "Okay, mom. We''ll get married tomorrow." As a good son, Calvin wanted to make his mom happy at any cost. "All right. You guys can keep making out now. I''m going back to the East Side." Beatrice left quickly with a smile, so Jocelyn didn''t have time to correct the huge misunderstanding. Jocelyn angrily pushed Calvin away and yelled, "Why did you lie to your mother? I don''t even know who you are!" "You don''t know me? But you kissed me in the hotel earlier!" He couldn''t just let her go after they''d shared a passionate kiss. Jocelyn was at a loss for words. "But even if I messed with you first, you can''t get back at me in this way! It''s not fair!" She thought to herself. "I couldn''t care less about that. Anyway, I''m leaving with my daughter right now." Jocelyn attempted to leave the house while carrying Tammy, who had dozed off on the couch. On the other hand, Calvin instructed the servant to shut the door. "You can''t leave without my permission," he sneered. Jocelyn said hesitantly, "You''re detaining me illegally, which is against thew! I''m calling the police right now." "You can call the police. By the way, I want to ask the cops how long someone needed to stay in jail if they conspired tomit fraud with their children." "What?" Jocelyn was stunned. She couldn''t believe she was so out of luck that she got involved with such a jerk. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Jocelyn deliberated for a moment before deciding not to offend him because she was at a disadvantage. She finally gave in and said, "Fine. Please tell me what exactly should I do to get out of here." With serious eyes, Calvin told her, "I need a fake wife, so I''m hoping we can get married for a half- year period." Jocelyn conceded defeat after only a few seconds of staring at him because he appeared so oppressive. "What do you mean? Are you saying you want to hire me as your wife?" "Yeah, pretty close." "You can''t afford to have me!" Jocelyn used to be an actress, so she regarded money as the most important thing when it came to working. "If you marry me, I''ll give you two hundred thousand dors," Calvin said. "Only 200 thousand dors? That''s not enough!" Jocelyn remained hesitant because she did not want to go through the trouble of getting married and divorced for only $200,000.00. "How about 2 million dors?" Jocelyn thought that was a reasonable price because that was enough for her to feed her kids. While she was debating whether or not to ept, Calvin said to her, "My final offer is $2 million a month. If you don''t want to coborate with me, then just forget it. There are plenty more fish in the sea." Jocelyn began to do the math: if she got 2 million dors a month, she would get 12 million dors after six months. Jocelyn immediately said, "I didn''t say no! Okay, I agree to marry you. But I think we have to sign a contract." "Sure!" Soon, Calvin had his assistant prepare a first draft of the agreement. Jocelyn found his conditions hrious after reading them. Not only was she not allowed any physical contact with him, but he also forbade her to fall in love with him or make a public announcement of their rtionship during their marriage. However, she thought she should be the one toe up with these terms. They eventually agreed on their interest rates, and their agreement became effective after they signed it. When Jocelyn signed the contract, she discovered that the man was Calvin, president of the Plexis Group, one of the most well-knownpanies in the city. Jocelyn knew Calvin years ago because he was a genius who created a game that once became a worldwide phenomenon when he was a child. He founded his own gamepany in his teens, and by his twenties, he had amassed so much wealth that he was the wealthiest person in Glebey. She had no idea she was married to the richest man in the city. Jocelyn stood up after putting down the pen and said, "Are you happy now? Can I take my daughter away?" Calvin couldn''t let go of her because they hadn''t yet obtained their marriage license. "Doris, please take my wife and daughter to their rooms to rest," Calvin said to the maid. "What? Wife and daughter? Is he serious? Is he afraid I''ll abandon him if I go?" Jocelyn thought to herself. Jocelyn began to negotiate with him. "It''s fine for me to stay here, but I need to call my son and tell him I won''t be returning tonight." Incredulous, Calvin asked, "You have a son?" ... Chapter 6 She Really Wanted to Find Billy Chapter 6 She Really Wanted to Find Billy Chapter 6 She Really Wanted to Find Billy "What''s wrong? Is there anything wrong with having a son? Am I not worthy of having a son?" Jocelyn said angrily and directly used thendline phone on the table to call her son, "Hello? Jeffrey!" "Mommy, have you found my sister?" "I found Tammy, but she fell asleep, and I will stay here tonight. Can you go back with Katie alone?" "Okay, okay. Good night, Mommy!" The little guy''s tone was very excited and he hung up the phone quickly after saying good night. Jocelyn didn''t know that everything was nned by her son. They jointly yed a trick on her. After the call, Doris Cochran asked her to go upstairs, and Jocelyn had no choice but to pick up her daughter and follow her to the upstairs room. No matter what, the conditions of the Austin family were perfect, and living here was very comfortable. The servant was very thoughtful, and it didn''t take long for her and her daughter to get a change of clothes. Probably because of the new ce, Jocelyny on the big bed with her daughter, but she didn''t feel sleepy at all. She thought about all the things that happened before and everything unknown in the future, but what she worried about most was her other son. She remembered that five years ago she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant with triplets. At that time, Jocelyn was suppressed and desperate. She was taken in by the old housekeeper of the Murray family. She gave birth to three babies in the countryside, but after her eldest son Billy was born, he was in poor health and needed a lot of money for treatment. Jocelyn was penniless, so she had no choice but to entrust the old housekeeper to give the baby away. Her request was very simple, as long as her son could be saved and raised, and he could grow up safely, she would be very grateful. The old housekeeper found a good family, who not only treated Billy but also paid 200 thousand dors to buy the baby. Their only requirement was that the biological mother was not allowed to meet the baby again. Whenever she thought that she gave Billy away, Jocelyn''s heart was filled with guilt and self-me, and the feeling was like cutting her heart. If it was not forced, how many mothers in this world were willing to give away their own babies? Five years passed, and she didn''t know where Billy was now. How was he doing? Was he still alive and well? She really wanted to find Billy, even if she could just take a look at him. But unfortunately, the old housekeeper passed away two years ago, and the clue about the baby waspletely cut off. Oh, Billy, your mom was sorry for you and missed you so much... Calvin, who also suffered from insomnia like Jocelyn, asked his subordinates to look up all of Jocelyn''s information and sat under the light to start investigation. In the past, he never cared about the entertainment field, and he was not interested in those actresses. But now that Jocelyn, who was about to marry him, was a star before, he naturally wanted to know her better. After skimming through the information, Calvin knew that Jocelyn debuted at the age of 6 and became a well-known child star for her role in the Jones Girls. At the age of 18, she had an affair with Ernest, the CEO of Icehive Entertainment. Later, she won the actress queen, and she quit the entertainment field soon. An actress suddenly left at her most brilliant time. Was there something behind it? Could it be that she left because she was pregnant? But why did Ernest announce his new rtionship with his actress Theresa after she quit the entertainment field? Who was the father of Jocelyn''s son and daughter? It was veryte at night. Calvin put down Jocelyn''s materials, went upstairs to the children''s room, opened the door and saw the little figure lying on the bed. His exhaustion seemed to disappear instantly. No one else knew that Calvin raised a 5-year-old son named Sean Austin. The most pitiful thing was his son Sean, who suffered from aphasia at a young age, and he had a very withdrawn personality, making it difficult to get along with others. If he told Sean that he had found a new mommy and younger siblings for him, how would he react? ... On the other side, the engagement wedding was destroyed, and the happy event turned into a scandal, which was widely spread. The humiliated Ernest quarreled with Theresa. Ernest smashed everything in the house and wanted to break up with Theresa. "No! Please don''t break up with me! Ernest... Listen to me! What you saw is not true. It''s all Jocelyn''s trick! It''s her who wants to take revenge on me!" Theresa hugged Ernest''s thigh and cried to exin it. "But the matter between you and the director, is it fake?" Of course, Ernest knew that it was Jocelyn''s revenge, but what he couldn''t stand was Theresa''s affair with other men. Now everyone knew about this scandal, and he and the Cloutier family had lost face. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "Ernest, that was just when I first debuted, I was tricked into auditioning. But I swear that I didn''t do anything to betray you. You are my first man, don''t you believe me?" Thinking about it carefully, he indeed was her first man and that''s why he loved her so much. Theresa had been with him for so many years, and she was devoted to him. He knew it. Theresa burst into tears and said in an extremely aggrieved tone, "Ernest, there is one more thing I didn''t tell you. I am pregnant. Now I have your baby, and do you want to break up with me?" Hearing that she was pregnant suddenly, Ernest was shocked, "Are you pregnant?" "Well, originally I wanted to wait until the engagement ceremony was over and give you a surprise, but now..." "Don''t say anything else, Theresa, and get up quickly!" Ernest, who felt indignant a moment ago, was now excited by the news of Theresa''s pregnancy. He was the only child of the Cloutier family and his mother''s greatest wish was that he would get married and have a baby soon. Theresa got pregnant so timely! Theresa already knew that a baby was the best tool. As long as she was pregnant, Ernest would definitely forgive her. She would never let Ernest know that her hymen waster repaired through a surgery. The two quickly reconciled, and the next thing they need to consider was Jocelyn''s matter, "Ernest, what should we do now? Jocelyn is back, and the first thing that she destroyed was our engagement wedding. How will she retaliate against us in the future?" "If she dares to act rashly again, I will punish her!" Ernest said fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes. At this moment, a phone call came from his assistant. Ernest answered the phone and asked, "What''s the matter?" "Mr. Cloutier! Bad news! Something happened to Icehive Entertainment!" Theresa couldn''t hear clearly and asked, "What happened?" "There is a problem with the new film, and I''m going to thepany to deal with it now." After Ernest answered the phone, he picked up his coat and left in a hurry. At this time, in the apartment, Jeffrey was lying on the bed, and his little fingers were quickly tapping on the keyboard. Sitting next to him, Katie Walker watched the little guy''s two little hands nimbly clicking on the keyboard and couldn''t help admiring him. A 5-year-old kid turned out to be a little genius proficient inputers. "KO!" Jeffrey hit thest button, and the program code on the screen showed that themand was executed sessfully. Katie couldn''t understand it and asked, "Jeffrey, what are you doing now?" ... Chapter 7 She Has Became Someones Stepmother Chapter 7 She Has Became Someone''s Stepmother Chapter 7 She Has Became Someone''s Stepmother "Katie, just now I brought over the resources of a new film from Icehive Entertainment, and now I have paralyzed the entire server of Icehive Entertainment. That bad man bullied my mother, and I will let him be punished now!" After Katie heard it and she adored him very much, "Jeffrey, you are such a little genius, and your mommy will be very happy if she knows it." "Hey, I just want Mommy to be happy." Jeffrey was definitely a mother-protector and no one could bully her mother. Ernest rushed to Icehive Entertainment and learned that the resources of the new film The Phoenix Queen were stolen. All thepany''s servers were paralyzed, and a picture of a person eating shit appeared on hisputer''s ck screen, which almost made him dizzy. Who did it? Could it be that Jocelyn instigated and nned it? Ernest''s first suspicion was Jocelyn. Besides her, he couldn''t think of anyone who would hate him so much and would do anything to destroy him and take revenge on him! It must be Jocelyn! Damn bi*ch! ... The next morning, Tammy opened her eyes and found herself lying in a big andfortable house with her mommy by her side. She was very happy. "Mummy! Wake up! Wake up!" Tammy woke up her Mummy. Jocelyn woke up and held her daughter, "Tammy, good morning!" "Good morning, Mommy, have you seen it? We live in the big castle of uncle Calvin''s house! It''s so beautiful here!" Tammy got out of her mother''s arms and ran out of the room with bare feet. "Hey, Tammy!" Seeing her daughter running away, Jocelyn hurriedly got up and chased her, just in time to see Calvining out of the master bedroom, holding Tammy by the hand. The man was wearing a handmade custom-made suit, outlining slender and straight long legs and a narrow waist. And his gestures were elegant and luxurious, like a prince in the Middle Ages. Looking at Calvin, she felt that the handsome men she had seen before were nothing, and this man was born to be a clothes rack and a walking charming person. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Calvin nced at Jocelyn and saw that her long hair was messy, her eyes were sleepy, and the suspenders of her nightgown slipped down, revealing her round shoulders and porcin white skin. Seeing such a disheveled woman, Calvin felt frizzy in his heart. In the early morning, did she deliberately try to seduce him? "Ahem..." Calvin deliberately coughed twice to ease the embarrassment. He knelt down and said to the child, "Tammy, go and wash with your mommy, and then go downstairs to have breakfast." "Okay, Uncle!" Tammy kissed Calvin''s cheek. Seeing her daughter liking Calvin so much, Jocelyn felt chills in her heart. My daughter, please don''t be fooled by his appearance. This uncle was very bad! Holding her daughter''s little hand, Jocelyn spoke earnestly, "Silly girl, how many times have I told you? Girls should be reserved and shouldn''t kiss other boys casually! Especially this kind of dishonest uncle!" She said he was dishonest! Why was he dishonest? Calvin''s mood instantly became gloomy, and he flicked cold eyes like knives. Damn woman, you can eat indiscriminately, but please don''t talk nonsense! Tammy nced back at Calvin, and grinned with white teeth, "But I like this uncle very much. He is handsome! I want to marry him when I grow up!" Hmm, this little cute girl was better and much cuter than her mother. Calvin suddenly thought that if only he could have such a lively and cute daughter. Damn! Jocelyn almost vomited blood because of her daughter, "Handsome man can''t be eaten! The more handsome the uncle, the more dangerous! Remember my words! Did you hear me!" Tammy pouted and nodded. Jocelyn pulled her daughter and said to Calvin angrily, "From today on, Mr. Austin, please don''t approach my daughter casually!" "Okay! The premise is that you have to take good care of your daughter! In addition, you must also pay attention to your own image, and don''t try to seduce me in different ways. I''m... not interested in you!" After Calvin finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and walked down the stairs haughtily. It''s interesting! It was he who should pay attention to the image! Jocelyn was annoyed by his words. He said that she was trying to seduce him in different ways. Did she seduce him? Jocelyn lowered her head only to realize that her shoulder straps had slipped off at some point, revealing a piece of white skin on her chest. Oh, no wonder the bastard said that just now! Jocelyn changed into the spare clothes in her bag, washed up with her daughter, and was stunned when she went downstairs to the dining room. She found that besides Calvin, there was another boy wearing a suit and a bow tie at the dining table, who looked simr to Calvin. With a handsome and cold appearance, he had the aura of repelling others thousands of miles away. The little boy was simply a copy of Calvin, could it be... Tammy broke free from her mother''s hand and ran to the table. She looked at the cool and handsome little boy curiously and asked, "Uncle, who is that little boy?" "He is my son. His name is Sean Austin, and you can call him Sean." After Calvin''s introduction, he pulled out the chair and invited Jocelyn and Tammy to sit down. Then he ordered the servants to serve the meal. Jocelyn was in a mess. After sitting down, she couldn''t help asking Calvin in a low voice, "Is he your son? Why didn''t you tell me you have a son in advance?" Jocelyn was really not used to it. She became someone''s stepmother overnight. "What''s wrong? Is there anything wrong with having a son? Am I not worthy of having a son?" Unexpectedly, Calvin would answer her with her words before, which almost made her speechless. Jocelyn rolled her eyes at him, and then said, "That''s not what I meant. I just wanted to say that we will get married, and you should at least tell me about him in advance. It is the most basic respect." "Where do you think I disrespect you?" Calvin suddenly approached her, making Jocelyn shrink back in fright, and she immediately surrendered, "Okay, okay, forget it, and please just pretend that I didn''t say anything." After pushing the man away, Jocelyn smiled at the little boy and waved, "Hi, hello, Sean!" Sean didn''t make a sound. He just stared at them with his cold and widened eyes. Jocelyn looked at Sean''s thin face, and she suddenly felt a pain in her heart. Why was this kid so skinny? It was painfully thin. Tammy murmured, "Mommy, why didn''t he say anything? Doesn''t he want to be friends with me?" When Jocelyn didn''t know how to answer her daughter, Calvin exined, "Sean is a bit withdrawn and doesn''t like to talk. He may be too surprised to see you suddenly today." Calvin patted Tammy''s head again and said, "Tammy, Sean probably likes you, but he is very shy. You can go to try to talk with him!" "Okay!" Encouraged by Calvin, Tammy turned around. She climbed onto the chair next to Sean and looked at him with a tilted head, "Sean, how old are you? I''m five years old, and my name is Tammy!" ... Chapter 8 She Had the Same Temper as Him Chapter 8 She Had the Same Temper as Him Chapter 8 She Had the Same Temper as Him Tammy talked to Sean, but he was still indifferent, so Tammy picked up one strawberry and handed it to him to show her friendliness, "Sean, do you like strawberries? Strawberries are sour-sweet and delicious. Please try it." Sean finally reacted. He turned his face to look at Tammy and then opened his mouth to eat the strawberry she handed him. "Is it delicious, Sean?" Tammy put her elbows on the table and asked while holding her cute little face. Maybe it was her innocence and loveliness that moved Sean. He, who had always been withdrawn and cold, seemed to have some light in his eyes at this moment. Seeing his son''s reaction, Calvin was very excited and continued to encourage her, "Tammy, it seems that Sean really likes you. After breakfast, would you like to y with him?" "Okay, Tammy is willing to y with Sean. We can y peek-a-boo and swing together." Tammy said happily. After breakfast, Tammy pulled Sean away. Sean did not run away and walked with Tammy, which showed that he had indeed epted Tammy. It''s so rare! Calvin hadn''t seen that his son was willing to walk out of the gate for a long time, and now the change had happened because of Tammy''s arrival. He was very pleased and felt that this marriage must be realized. Through conversation, Jocelyn found out that Calvin''s son suffered from aphasia. He couldn''t speak and had a very withdrawn personality. He usually only wanted to hide in the house and draw pictures and refused to go out. After learning about these things, Jocelyn felt even more ufortable. Sean seemed to be about the same age as her son Jeffrey, but Sean was not as happy as Jeffrey. Because he had never enjoyed a day of maternal love and had always lived in a lonely world. He had no friends and nomunication. She felt so pitiful when she thought about him. It seemed that he was willing to y with Tammy today because Tammy moved him. Just let her daughter apany him! After breakfast, Jocelyn left her daughter at the Austin family and followed Calvin to the clerk of court. They had made an appointment here in advance, and the marriage certificate was sessfully obtained without much effort. Looking at the marriage certificate in her hand, Jocelyn felt like she was dreaming. It was too exaggerated. She actually married the richest man in this city. She suddenly had a husband and one more son. In the n of returning this time, the only thing that was not nned was marriage. But ever since she was betrayed and hurt by Ernest, she no longer believed in love. Marrying Calvin now was nothing more than cooperation, which had nothing to do with love. Anyway, it''s not a loss to cooperate with Calvin. With him protecting her, she and her two children didn''t have to worry about being bullied anymore. Although they were only married by contract, there were still some things that needed to be rified in advance. Calvin stared at the woman''s exquisite and delicate facial features, and said in a serious tone, "Jocelyn, since you take my surname, even if you are my wife in name, you must be loyal to me. If you dare to betray me, don''t me me for punishing you!" Jocelyn felt a little bitter in her heart, but she still smiled brightly, "Okay, Mr. Austin, I will do what you said, but I also hope that you will restrain yourself. During the marriage with me, if Mr. Austin fools around with other women outside, I won''t forgive you either." Jocelyn raised her clear and beautiful face with a confident smile on her face. Her back was straight and her body revealed an arrogance that was neither humble nor haughty. She wanted Calvin to know that they were mutually beneficial coborators, so he couldn''t treat her as a humble submissive. Hearing what she said, Calvin couldn''t help raising his eyebrows and a trace of interest shed in his ck eyes. Oh, her personality and temper were very simr to his and she had the same temper as him! The two had just left the clerk of court, and Beatrice called, "Calvin, have you got your marriage certificate?" His mother was too anxious! "I got it." "Okay, okay, don''t go to thepany today and take some time to apany Jocelyn to go shopping. She has just returned, so she must becking everything." Beatrice had been looking forward to it for so long, and finally, she had a daughter-inw. Naturally, she hoped that her son would treat her well, not to mention that Jocelyn was the daughter of her good friend. "Got it, Mom." Calvin hung up the phone, turned to Jocelyn and said, "Let''s go to the mall to buy clothes." Jocelyn figured out what he was going to do and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I don''t need to buy clothes. I have clothes to wear and I really don''t buy them." "Is what you''re wearing called clothes?" Calvin nced at her, feeling that the cheap goods on her body really didn''t match her temperament, and her clothes were too cheap. "Why isn''t it called clothes?" Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Jocelyn bought it on Shein. It''s cheap andfortable, Calvin didn''t understand it! "This trash should be thrown away!" Calvin didn''t give her a chance to refute at all. He directly grabbed her wrist and stuffed her into the car. Arriving at a high-end shopping mall under the Plexis Group, Calvin took Jocelyn to the luxury counter area of the shopping mall and asked Jocelyn to go in and choose clothes. Originally, Calvin was going to ask his assistant Craig to contact the person in charge of the shopping mall to clear the ce, but Jocelyn stopped him. She just came here to buy clothes, so there''s no need to make it so a big event, right? "Mr. Austin, I think we can go shopping like ordinary people, and the clearance is too exaggerated." Calvin lowered his head to catch a glimpse of Jocelyn''s hand in his arms, and he agreed subconsciously. Next, the two took the elevator to the women''s clothing store directly. They didn''t notify the person in charge of the mall but chose to go shopping in a low profile. Even though he was already keeping a low profile, he was followed by Craig and other bodyguards, and his momentum was still very shocking. In the high-end brand women''s clothing store on the 6th floor. Calvin asked Jocelyn to go in and choose clothes, so Jocelyn had no choice but to walk into the store. She looked left and right. Seeing the beautiful clothes, she was also very interested, but when she saw the price on the tag, she immediately gave them up. The price was too scary! The cheapest ones were all over one thousand dors. It''s like robbing a bank, right? After a symbolic walk around, Jocelyn didn''t try on any clothes. Calvin saw here out and asked, "Why didn''t you choose clothes?" Jocelyn exined in a low voice, "Forget it, Mr. Austin. The clothes here are too expensive. Let''s go to another ce! I know where to buy cheap and good-looking clothes, and famous brand clothes can be bought for dozens of dors. There is no need to waste money!" If it was her five years ago, she was still the daughter of the Murray family and a super popr actress in the entertainment field. She had a high taste and high-end dressing, and she basically didn''t hesitate to spend money. But now, she had been suppressed for five years and had no ie from filming and endorsements. It was not easy to earn money and she had to raise two babies, so she developed a good quality of frugality, and she would not spend money recklessly. "Are you saving me money?" Calvin raised his handsome eyebrows to question her. ... Chapter 9 What I hate most is mistress Chapter 9 What I hate most is mistress Chapter 9 What I Hate Most Is Mistress "Eh..." Without waiting for Jocelyn to exin, Calvin asked again, "Do you think I am short of money? My wife only wears clothes worth dozens of dors. It¡¯s shameful! Are you looking down on me?" "No..." "Then hurry up and buy some!" Thest thing Calvin needed was money, and the only thing hecked was a wife who was good at spending money. Oh my god! What great pressure it was to be the wife of the richest man? She shouldn¡¯t refuse to buy clothes, should she? Sensing the threat of Calvin''s unkind eyes, Jocelyn quickly understood that she not only represented herself now, but also had to consider his image after marrying him, at least not to lower his taste and grade. "All right. I''ll go shopping right away!" Women were best at buying clothes, weren''t they? When Jocelyn walked into the store, the clerk looked her up and down. Seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn''t look like someone who could afford luxury goods, the clerk looked cold and indifferent. She picked out two clothes she liked and went to the fitting room. While trying on clothes, she heard the clerk outside the door whispering. "The man at the door is so handsome! My legs feel weak when I see him! It''s a pity that a handsome man marries that kind of woman!" "Look at the cheap clothes she wore. She has no taste at all." "Yeah, she only has a beautiful face. Generally, this kind of woman is either ady in a nightclub or a suger baby sticking to a rich man." "That''s right, what''s wrong with society now? Women who are slightly good-looking are willing to be mistresses and stick to a rich man. Ugh!" It was surprising to hear others gossip even when shopping. Obviously, they said it to her on purpose. Why can¡¯t she wear cheap clothes? Is it a crime to be beautiful? How can one tell that she is a mistress? What Jocelyn hated most in her life was mistress! Jocelyn could bear being ridiculed for herck of taste, but she couldn''t stand others looking at her through colored spectacles. Jocelyn unceremoniously kicked open the door of the fitting room with a bang, threw the clothes into the clerk''s arms, and p them each on the face. "Crack!" "Crack!" N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. "Crack!" The three clerks were caught off guard by the beating. After realizing it, they covered their faces and looked at Jocelyn in shock. One of them yelled angrily, "What are you doing? Why do you p us?" "Did your face hurt?" Jocelyn put her hands on her hips and sneered, "Why do you say those fucking words? Who sticks to a rich man like a mistress? Who is thedy in a nightclub?" Are you qualified to stand here? I think you are only suitable to clean the toilet!" Calvin heard them arguing, so he came up and saw Jocelyn scolding the clerks. ncing at the clerks with cold eyes, Calvin felt that they deserve to be pped! Such people were indeed only suitable for cleaning toilets! Calvin signaled Craig to deal with it without intervening directly. Then, he folded his arms, stood by and watched. Jocelyn continued scolding, "It''s none of your business to care about what man I should marry! How dare you gossip about me without weighing yourself first? How could you say I stick to a rich man since I wear ordinary clothes? It''s clear that you guys are jealous of me! You should also stick to a rich man if you can! Why are you still selling clothes here? You don''t even have the ability to find a sugar daddy!" Seeing Jocelyn keeping scolding, Calvin couldn''t help butugh. He found that Jocelyn was not weak by nature, but a woman of strong character. After Jocelyn finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Calvining. She grabbed his arm in time, and said pettishly, "My dear husband, do you hear that just now? I am just shopping, but they said I was a sugar daddy''s mistress and thedy in the nightclub. They bully me!" Anyway, the husband in name was also a husband. Jocelyn was ready to risk everything. How dare these bitches act like a snob! Hearing Jocelyn call "husband" suddenly, Calvin was really not used to it, but somehow felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied. It seems pretty good to have a wife! Calvin stood still without saying a word, but already stunned several clerks. The clerks didn''t expect that they had married. Jocelyn called him husband, so he naturally wanted to stand up for his woman. Calvin yed the role of a husband well, speaking with a doting tone, "Honey, what do you want them to do?" "They should get out of here! They don''t deserve to stand here and work at all!" Jocelyn didn''t mean to find fault. She was easygoing as long as she was not offended. But if one offended her, then she would not forgive, because there was no "rendering good for evil" in her dictionary. Calvin nced at the three clerks with his ck and cold eyes, and said with dignity, "You guys, either apologize to my wife, or get out now! Don''t let my wife see you again!" The three clerks didn''t even recognize that the man was the CEO of the Plexis Group, and the woman was the former actress of the Bomia Award. They were husband and wife. So what? They didn''t buy a piece of clothing and even wanted to drive them away. Absurd! "She pped us first. Why should we apologize? How could it be?" They were not convinced, arguing, "Sir, what right do you have to drive us out? You are not the owner of this store!" "Honey, you told them to go away, but they don''t even listen!" Jocelyn stared at Calvin. Wasn''t he the richest man in this city and no one dared to annoy him? How dared they keep arguing? The clerk just wanted to drive them away quickly, so she said deliberately, "I''m sorry. If you don''t want to buy clothes, you could go to another store. Don''t hinder our business. If you continue to make trouble, we will call security guards." "All right! Please call security guards! I won''t leave if you don''t make an apology to me today!" Jocelyn had to ask for justice. They shouldn''t think that people who kept a low profile were easy to bully. The clerk indeed notified the security guards recklessly. Before long the manager hurriedly rushed over with a group of security guards. When clerks saw the manager of the mall, they began toin before the real victim opened her mouth, "Mr. Bloom, youe just in time. There are two customers deliberately disturbing the business. Please deal with it!" As soon as Mr. Bloom, who was in charge of the shopping mall, saw Calvin, he bowed low respectfully and apologized, "I''m sorry, Mr. Austin! I''ll let these fucking guys clean the toilet right now!" Mr. Bloom turned his head and scolded the clerk again, "You guys are really unlucky! Do you know who you have offended? This is Mr. Austin, the CEO of the Plexis Group. How dare you offend him! Make an apology to him now!" ... Chapter 10 Offending The President Chapter 10 Offending The President Chapter 10 Offending The President The three clerks were all dumbfounded. Although they didn''t recognize Calvin, they all knew that Plexis Group took over the shopping mallst week. Was Calvin the owner of this mall now? OMG! What had they done? They offended the respected CEO! They were so frightened that they copsed to the ground, and kept begging for mercy, "I''m sorry, Mr. Austin...We are as blind as a bat... please forgive us!" Calvin looked down upon them, said coldly, "You offend my wife, and my wife is upset." "We are sorry... Ms. Austin, we were wrong... We don''t dare to talk nonsense anymore... Please be magnanimous and let us go... please......" The three clerks started begging Jocelyn, and she felt pleased after venting her grievance, "I don''t care about your faults, but the quality and character of you guys need to be verified. I believe that the manager of the mall will deal with it." Mr. Bloom heard and immediately made a decision, "Ms. Austin will not hold you ountable, but you should stop selling here. Go to the cleaning team! From now on, you are responsible for all the bathrooms and toilets in the entire shopping mall. Hurry up and thank Mr. and Ms. Austin!" "Thank you, Mr. and Ms. Austin..." All of them broke out in a cold sweat. No one in the city knew Calvin''s way of handling things, and the title of cold-faced devil was not for nothing. It was really kind of him to let them go today. "Hurry up and get out!" Mr. Bloom yelled and the three clerks ran out in a panic. It was also the first time for Mr. Bloom to meet Calvin, and he asked tteringly, "Mr. Austin, are you satisfied with this way of handling it?" "Yeah, but I don''t want anyone to reveal what happened today, including the rtionship between me and my wife. If someone reveal it, I will make him disappear from the earth." "Don''t worry, Mr. Austin! I will maintainplete confidentiality and not let anyone gossip!" Mr. Bloom promised, secretly wiping cold sweat. After dealing with this matter, he personally apanied them to another store. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. The clerk was warm and thoughtful. Jocelyn tried on the clothes and came out of the dressing room. She stood in front of the mirror and turned around. Her round shoulders under the flouncing neckline looked beautiful and sexy. At first nce, Calvin''s eyes shed a surprised look, but when he saw the big off-the-shoulder design, he frowned, "Ugly." "It looks nice! Why do you say it''s ugly?" Jocelyn really doubted Calvin''s aesthetic appreciation. What a low taste he has! Calvin''s aesthetic standard was that no matter how good-looking clothes were they were not good- looking if too sexy. Especially Jocelyn''s figure was so good that Calvin actually had the urge to wrap her up to prevent other men from seeing her. She tried a few more, such as shoulder slope, tube top, and sun top, but Calvin denied them all. In the end, Jocelyn refused to try any clothes at all, "This one is ugly and that one is also ugly, so which one is good-looking? Please choose for me!" She just said this out of anger, but Calvin really helped her choose clothes. He picked out the clothes he didn''t like and handed over to the clerk. "Sir, do you want all of these?" The clerk was d to see that he would like to buy a lot and spend a huge sum of money. Jocelyn thought that he hadpromised and wanted to buy these clothes for her. Unexpectedly, Calvin replied, "I don''t want these sets." "?" The clerk''s enthusiasm was dampened and before she reacted, Calvin continued, "I want all other styles in my wife''s size except these." "!" The clerk was shocked. She worked for so many years but had never met such a rich customer who was willing to spend so much money for his wife. She envied Jocelyn so much. Hearing what Calvin said, Jocelyn was so frightened that she ran over to stop him, "Hey! Are you crazy? Why are you buying so many clothes? I don''t need so many!" "Wear them slowly." "That''s too exaggerated! Is there anyone who goes shopping this way like you? You buy everything, why don''t you buy me the whole store directly!" Jocelyn didn''t want to spend money beyond the agreement with Calvin. After all, they only had a cooperative rtionship. Mr. Bloom listened and immediately stepped forward after hearing her comint, "Ms. Austin, if you like this brand, just sign an agreement, and this brand will belong to you." "No, I am just kidding!" Jocelyn was speechless and wanted to say something to Calvin, but he got a call, "I''ll answer the phone. Wait for a while." Seeing Calvin leave, Jocelyn tried to discuss with the clerk, "I''m sorry, I don''t want those clothes, and I just want the ones I have tried on!" Seldom did the clerke across such a big order. How could she let it go so easily? The two clerks persuaded her one after another, "Madam, just take them! Your husband loves you so much! How nice he is!" "Yes, Madam, your figure is as good as a model, and our clothes are especially suitable for you, so you won''t lose money if you buy it! Besides, why don''t you spend husband''s money? Will you leave it for his mistress?" The clerk deserved to be a salesperson, and Jocelyn had no words to refute. Mr. Bloom left with his subordinates. The clerk was already making an order and she told Jocelyn to wait for a while, so Jocelyn had to go around ande hereter. Jocelyn had not gone far when she got a casual nce of three people walking into a women''s clothing store nearby. It should be said that they were a family of three, the couple and their daughter. That man was her father Leonard, that woman was her stepmother Natalia, and that young woman was her half-sister Glenna. Ha, it was a coincidence that Jocelyn could meet them when went shopping. Jocelyn hadn''t seen them for five years. The family of three seemed to live in happiness. Leonard had not changed much except for his pot belly and Natalia was also in good condition, richly bejeweled. Leonard wore expensive clothes and carried a brand-name bag. Jocelyn remembered that after her mother passed away, her father remarried. Her stepmother brought back with a biological sister who was only one year younger than her. Glenna looked very rustic when sent to the city from the countryside for the first time. But she really changed a lot in the past five years, now she looked like a princess gorgeously dressed. Now looking at the family of three, Jocelyn felt extremely ironic and wanted to ask her father if he had looked for her in the past few years when she was missing? Let it go. Jocelyn felt she was unwanted. Jocelyn was about to leave, but Glenna spotted her. "Dad, look, is... is that sister?" Glenna tugged at Leonard''s sleeves and pointed afar. They had already watched the news, knowing that Jocelyn had returned to China and ruined Ernest and Theresa''s wedding. They just didn''t know why Jocelyn didn''t contact her family? ... Chapter 11 Should Treat Her Like This! Chapter 11 Should Treat Her Like This! Chapter 11 Should Treat Her Like This! Now that Glenna finally saw Jocelyn, she quickly caught up with Jocelyn, "Sister! Is it really you? Don''t go, sister!" Glenna grabbed Jocelyn''s arm, turned around and shouted, "Dad, Mom, hurry up, sister is back." Natalia walked out of the store and sized Jocelyn up in surprise, "Oh, Jocelyn it''s really you! I thought it was fake when I read it on the news!" "Jocelyn, it''s really you!" Leonard also came out. It was not until he saw Jocelyn with his own eyes that he believed Jocelyn had returned home. However, he would be terribly angry at the thought of how Jocelyn eloped with lover without saying a word five years ago, "Damn girl, you disappeared silently five years ago. Why are youing back now? Do you know that you''ve disgraced me and the Murray family? You''re a disgrace!" Jocelyn''s heart hurt after hearing this. Was he her father? Shouldn''t parents who haven''t seen daughter for five years ask his daughter how everything was going in the past five years? Did she have a rough time? However, he only cared about the face of him and the Ning family! Could it be that the face of him and the Ning family is more important than her life? "Heh..." Jocelyn smiled wryly, "Since I''m an unfilial girl and you don''t want to see me, I''ll go." "Oh, sister, don''t go! We waited for a long time before you came back. How could you leave before we talk to each other?" Glenna held her arm and did not let go. "Let me go!" Jocelyn threw Glenna away forcefully, for she really didn''t want to have any rtionship with this hypocritical younger sister. She knew Glenna''s character so well. On the surface she always pretended to be harmless like a model sister, but secretly she hated her to the core, wishing that she would disappear from the earth. Glenna pretended to fall over weakly, then raised her head with tears streaming down her face, "Sister..." Leonard saw Jocelyn pushing Glenna down, and reprimanded angrily, "Jocelyn, why do you push your sister? Your sister cares about you but you treat her like this!" "You know well how I treat her. It''s all my fault anyway! Everything is my fault! Everything I do annoys you! You didn''t even look for me during these five years when I was left, did you?" Jocelyn stared at Leonard''s eyes and questioned. Leonard felt a little guilty, turned his eyes away, and shouted viciously, "Why do I looking for you? You eloped with someone and went abroad. Will I looking for you? I really hope that I have never raised a daughter like you." Leonard never thought of looking for Jocelyn in the past five years. Jocelyn was sessful in the entertainment industry. It was not a great honor for him. He only thought that she got the resources depending on the power of Murray family. Later, she disappeared suddenly. It was rumored in the entertainment industry that she was kept by some rich foreigner as a mistress and eloped abroad. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Leonard hated her so much that he wished he couldpletely sever ties with her! Leonard thought she was ashamed? Did he know what happened to her back then? Did he know what kind of life she had lived in the past five years? Jocelyn sighed deeply in her heart, and could clearly hear the sound of her heart breaking. It was crushed bit by bit by her dearest rtives. She was aggrieved and wanted to cry, but she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from shedding a tear. She raised her face and smiled proudly, "Okay! You don''t want a shameful daughter like me, and I don''t want a wolf-hearted father like you, so you don''t have to put on airs." "You! Damn girl, you..." Leonard choked with anger, pointing his finger at Jocelyn''s nose without saying aplete sentence. "Okay, Leonard, Jocelyn seldomes back. Keep quiet." Natalia quickly put on a motherly look, persuaded both her husband and Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, at least he is your Dad. How could you talk to your dad like this? You came back suddenly this time. What are you going to do? Do you want to live permanently or just stay for a period of time?" Natalia seemed concerned, but actually she wanted to find out Jocelyn''s motives. She wondered if Jocelyn returned from abroad because she couldn''t survive. Did she want toe back to divide up family property, or have some other purpose? "Since I''m back, of course I won''t leave." Jocelyn said coldly, she immediately saw through the mind of her stepmother--worried that she would go back to the Murray family andpete with Glenna, right? Then she would let Natalia know what she thought directly, and see if she could still sleep soundly! Natalia understood, the smile on her face froze, and she said, "Oh, since you''re not leaving, then come home with us! The Ning family is your home after all, although your father said so, butHe still misses you very much." Oh, missed her? If that man missed her a little, she would write her name upside down! "I will definitely go back, but not today!" Jocelyn didn''t want to waste her breath, so she turned and walked away. "Sister, sister..." Glenna pretended to call her twice, watching her back disappearing around the corner with a glint of coldness shed through her eyes. Jocelyn came back again. Would Jocelyn take everything from her? She must not let this happen! As long as Jocelyn disappeared, Glenna was the only daughter of the Murray family. However, although Glenna had entered the circle of upper ss socialite, she would always have a feeling of being dwarfed by Jocelyn if she came back. Her inferiority by nature made her panic. Perhaps Glenna would never possess the noble temperament of Jocelyn even though she spent her whole life. In addition to Glenna''s worries, Natalia had the same concern. She asked her husband, "Leonard, is it that Jocelyn returned from abroad for she could no longer survive? Will she ask for the shares her grandfather left to her? If she should take back her shares, what would Glenna do?" "Don''t worry! She would never take it back! I won''t give her a penny as if I had never gave birth to such a damn daughter!" Natalia and her daughter had been long casting greedy eyes on Jocelyn''s shares. Leonard agreed to transfer Jocelyn''s share to Glenna. Don''t let Jocelyn take it back! ... Jocelyn returned to the previous store. Calvin had already called her and waited for her here, "Where have you been?" "I strolled around." Jocelyn slightly smiled and hid her sadness "Is everything okey? Let''s go, shall we?" "Yeah." Leonard left the address, asked the clerks to deliver the clothes directly to home and then apanied Jocelyn to pick up the children. On the way, Jocelyn browsed the news on her mobile phone. She saw the news about Ernest and Theresa''s engagement being ruinedst night. Videos went viral on the Inte. Netizens were all talents, each of whom left sharpments .... Chapter 12 Oops I Found The Wrong Daddy Chapter 12 Oops I Found The Wrong Daddy Chapter 12 Oops I Found The Wrong Daddy [I always thought that Ernest and Theresa were the perfect couple in the entertainment industry, but it turned out to be a joke! There was a green light above Ernest''s head, it was so green that people panicked! ] [Theresa is also known as an innocent pretty girl, but it''s hard to tell how bold and unrestrained she is in her private life! ] I would like to order a cheating song for them! [Did any of you notice the woman giving standing spray in the live broadcast? ] [She seems to be the actress Jocelyn who suddenly announced her retirement five years ago! ] [I''m her fan now! She''s so cool! ] ... After reading the news andments, Jocelyn was in a good mood, with the corners of her lips raised, presuming that couple must be very busy now. It was just the beginning! There was still a good show toe! When they arrived at the house rented, Calvin waited in the car. Jocelyn went upstairs and saw his assistant Katie and his son Jeffrey. Katie had already helped Jeffrey pack his luggage and schoolbag. Thinking of what had happened last night, she said with a smile, "It was a great victoryst night! Did you watch the news? The online broadcasting went viral, there is a lush green prairie floating above Ernest''s head, and Theresa was also fiercely scolded, it really relieves the hatred!" "Well, I see it." But Katie was a little worried, "Sister, now you had ruined their engagement and made them embarrass themselves in public, I''m afraid they will retaliate and it will be bad for you." "It''s alright. Don''t worry. I''m not the same as who I was five years ago. If they want to trouble me, thene. Show me what they''ve got." Jocelyn smiled confidently, "Besides, I have already found my backing." "What backing?" Katie didn''t understand. Jocelyn whispered a few words in her ear, Katie''s eyes widened after hearing this, with her face full of disbelief. Jocelyn was looking for her childst night, but ended up finding a man for a sh marriage? This was too exaggerated! Katie sent the mother and son downstairs, and before leaving, she asked uneasily, "Hey, sister, is that man reliable?" Katie looked at the luxury car in the distance, but she didn''t know who the man sitting in it was. She still felt very unbelievable when she heard Jocelyn''s words about marrying him under a contract. She was very worried about Jocelyn, fearing that she would meet with a love rat again. "It''s okay. I''ll introduce him to you next time. Take care of yourself!" Jocelyn waved her hand, asking her son to say goodbye to Katie too. "Goodbye." Jeffrey blew a kiss before leaving, "I will miss you!" Katie really liked Jeffrey and Tammy, "I will miss you and Tammy too, take good care of your mommy!" "Do not worry!" Jeffrey patted his chest like a little man. Walking beside her mother, Jeffrey asked proudly, "Mommy, do you know what I didst night?" N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. "What?" Jocelyn lowered her head and asked. "I destroyed their server and new movie files and got the only copy. That bastard must be crying now." Jeffrey said with a smile. "Nice job, Jeffery!" Jocelyn couldn''t help kissing her son, although she never taught her son to do bad things, but what he did to Ernest was really satisfying. "Hey, thank you Mommy!" Jeffrey was very happy to receive the kiss and praise from Mummy. The mother and son got into the car, and as soon as Jeffrey climbed into the back seat, he saw a man wearing sunsses sitting in the back in an imposing manner. Calvin took off his sunsses, looked at the little guy beside him, and found that he really looked like Jocelyn, wearing a small British-style suit, he looked heroic, and looked about the same age as Sean. "Jeffery, hello." Calvin greeted the child. Jeffrey was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his mommy, he wanted to ask who is this uncle? "Jeffery, hurry up and say hello. Uncle Calvin helped take in Tammyst night." Jocelyn exined. "Uncle?" Jeffrey said the words, but in his heart he yelled, Oops! The father he and Tammy were looking for was not this uncle named Calvin at all, it should be Todd Garner. Did his sister find the wrong manst night? "Well, good boy!" Calvin touched the child''s little head. When he saw Jeffrey for the first time, Calvin couldn''t describe what it was like. He felt kind of familiar with the boy and he is as lovable as Tammy. On the way back to Calvin''s house, Jeffrey didn''t say much, and couldn''t help muttering in his heart, what should I do? "Tammy found the wrong daddy. How should I tell Mommy?" Calvin and Jocelyn had an agreement that their marriage rtionship would not be announced to the public, so they didn''t even tell their children, and Jeffrey didn''t know that mommy had found a temporary daddy for him and his sister. Back at the Fallcastle, Jeffrey got out of the car with Mummy, and was surprised when he saw Uncle Calvin''s big house. How rich could this uncle''s family be? "Mommy, brother..." Tammy, who was ying in the garden, saw that Mommy had picked up her brother, and ran over happily. "Tammy!" Jeffrey hugged the younger sister who rushed over, Tammy was very happy to y, and couldn''t wait to take his brother to y, "Brother,e quickly! There is a balloon castle in the house, it''s fun!" Jeffrey was dragged away by her younger sister, Jocelyn encouraged her, "Jeffrey, go y for a while too!" Jeffrey had no choice but to apany his sister to the balloon castle, but here, he also saw a little boy in a suit sitting on the swing frame. Jeffrey couldn''t help asking her sister, "Tammy, who is he?" Tammy introduced with a smile, "He is Sean! He is the boy from uncle¡¯s family." Jeffrey found that the little boy named Sean was sitting there silent and ignored them, so he went to y with his sister. When they climbed to the balloon castle, Jeffrey said to Tammy, "Tammy, that man was who you huggedst night?" "Yes, he is the daddy you said." "No! You made a mistake! That''s not our daddy." "Ah? Why?" Tammy couldn''t figure it out, brother said it was his daddy for a while, and said it wasn''t his daddy for another, was it his daddy? ¡°Let me show you!¡± Jeffrey found the tablet in his schoolbag, and showed her Todd Garner''s photo, "You see clearly, this is daddy, not the uncle you looked for!" Tammy had a tangled expression on her pink face, "What should I do, brother? Tammy likes this uncle very much, and his house has a lot of delicious food and fun things. How about we let him be our daddy?" Jeffrey couldn''t help but roll his eyes when he heard his sister''s words, "You just care about food! You don''t even want your own daddy for just some delicious food?" Chapter 13 His Sister Seems Betrayed Chapter 13 His Sister Seems Betrayed Chapter 13 His Sister Seems Betrayed "Yes! We want our biological daddy, and we can also make Sean''s daddy our daddy, so that we can have two daddies! Two daddies will definitely buy us lots and lots of delicious food. Aha! I''m so happy!" Looking at the happy dancing sister, Jeffrey held his forehead, thinking, "s, I can''t afford to have a foodie sister!" Although his younger sister was so innocent, Jeffrey did not lose his way. He secretly decided that after they left here, they still had to find their biological father. The three children were in the balloon castle in the garden, and Jocelyn followed Calvin back to the vi. Beatrice saw theming back, and immediately wanted to see the marriage certificate. "Not bad! Now I feel relieved." Beatrice was overjoyed. Jocelyn thought about the child, so she still wanted to tell her, "Auntie, there is something I want to tell you. That is, I have two..." Before Jocelyn could say it, Beatrice asked with a smile, "You mean you have two children, right? I already know that Tammy is a very cute little girl. She has already told me that she has a brother. Don''t worry. Since you two are married, then bring both of your children, so that Sean will have ymates. Sean is too lonely!" Unexpectedly, Calvin''s mother was so understanding. Jocelyn was very moved, said thank you, and then asked, "Auntie, we have something else to ask you." "Just say it!" Jocelyn nced at Calvin, motioning for him to speak. Calvin said, "Mom, for the time being, Jocelyn and I have decided to hide our rtionship from the public. Also, we don''t want to mention it in front of the children. I''m afraid that if I tell them now, they won''t be able to ept it." "Oh, fine, it''s up to you." Beatrice was very kind and easy-going, but in the meantime she put the marriage certificate in her pocket, "I will keep your marriage certificate for you, huh?" It was obviously because she was afraid that they might get a sudden divorce! Calvin and Jocelyn looked at each other, but said nothing. The lunch was well prepared, and Jocelyn sat at the dining table with Calvin, Beatrice and the three children. Beatrice looked at therge table in front of her, and said, "It seems that our family has not been so lively for a long time. Look at these three children, they are all about the same age, and they look like siblings. It would be great if they belonged to our family." Beatrice didn''t mean to treat them differently, but just as the old saying goes, ¡°the speaker had no intention of doing so, but the listener did.¡± Jocelyn felt a little embarrassed and looked at her two children. s, it''s a pity that none of them belonged to the Austin''s! It was not easy for Beatrice to ept these two children generously. Hearing what his mother said, Calvin hurriedly picked up food for her, "Mom, don''t be emotional, just enjoy your meal." Jeffrey saw uncle Calvin pick up food for his mother, so he did the same, "Mom, Let''s eat." "Thank you, son. You should eat too." Tammy saw that everyone was picking up food for each other, but no one was picking up food for Sean. She was very good at taking care of other people''s emotions. She tilted her head to look at Sean, and immediately picked up a big drumstick for him, "Brother Sean, the chicken legs are for you. You shall be happy!" Um? Jeffrey couldn''t help looking at her sister. Was she taking care of that Sean? When there were drumsticks at home, it would''t be anyone else''s turn to eat them. Tammy loved to eat drumsticks best. This little greedy cat could eat them all by herself, but today she gave up her favorite to Sean? Unwilling to let her sister take care of someone else like that, Jeffrey said to Tammy, "Tammy, I also want to eat chicken legs." Jocelyn saw that there was another chicken leg on the te and said, "If you want to eat that chicken leg, Mommy will pick it up for you." "I don''t want Mommy. I want you to pick it up for me." The little guy became angry! N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. "Brother, it''s not that you don''t have hands. You can take it yourself!" Tammy didn''t help him this time, and the little girl''s attention was all on Sean. She hoped that little Sean could eat the chicken leg she picked up. Jeffrey frowned, staring at his sister and Sean, his little face full of anger. Tammy had always been his little follower, but now his sister seemed to have betrayed him! She only liked Sean! Was it just because Sean was handsome? Jeffrey got unhappy! No one noticed, Jeffrey got so fussy that he even got jealous of Sean. He was simply a brother that cared too much about his sister. Seeing that Sean didn''t eat, Tammy volunteered to feed him. When Jeffrey saw it, his eyes widened. He was so angry because she had never fed him! After the meal, Jeffrey was so angry that he didn''t want to stay here anymore. He wanted to take his sister out of here quickly. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his younger sister would be Sean''s sister! In the afternoon, Sean was drawing in his room, and Tammy was by his side. Jeffrey wanted to call his sister away, "Tammy, do you want to go outside to y on the swing?" "No! Tammy wants to apany Sean to draw. Drawing is fun." Tammy''s two little hands are already covered with paint, and she was scribbling on white paper with Sean, having a great time. Jeffrey couldn''t tell his sister to leave. He was going crazy, so he had to go find his mommy. Jocelyn was upstairs at that time, and Beatrice was showing her the room, "I have already arranged this room as a children''s room, are you satisfied?" "Satisfied, very good, thank you, auntie." Jocelyn didn''t know what to say, to meet such a generous mother-inw as Beatrice, it was like she had saved the Milky Way in her previous life. "Why are you being so polite to me? We will be a family from now on, so there is no need to be polite." Beatrice took her hand and said, "Anyway, tonight is also your wedding night with Calvin. You two just stay in the main bedroom. I will ask someone to take care of the children, so you don''t have to worry about them." "Okay, I see." Jocelyn sent Beatrice away with a smile, wondering what Beatrice meant? Could it be that she wanted her to have sex with Calvin tonight? That''s not improper, right? After Beatrice left, Jocelyn began to help the children to tidy up their clothes. Not long after, Jeffrey came here, "Mummy." Jocelyn only saw her son and asked, "Why are you alone? Are you ying with your sister and Sean?" When Sean was mentioned, Jeffrey became angry, pouted andined, "Mummy, why do we live here? Let''s go! I don''t like that Sean, he doesn''t like to talk, and he always robs me of my sister. " Jocelyn didn''t know what to say after hearing this, and she patiently exined, "Jeffery, that boy Sean is different from you. He suffers from aphasia and cannotmunicate like a normal child..." Chapter 14 Do Not Kiss Me Without Consent Chapter 14 Do Not Kiss Me Without Consent Chapter 14 Do Not Kiss Me Without Consent "Now Mommy suggest that you stay here to help Sean,municate with him more, and see if he can cure his aphasia." Jeffrey Murray stared at Mommy''s eyes for a moment, then narrowed his eyes. The big ck grape- like eyes asked suspiciously, "Mum, tell the truth, have you already taken money from others?" ording to Jeffrey Murray''s understanding of his mother, she can''t help others for nothing. Nothing can be hidden from the clever son! Besides her own children, what Jocelyn Murray likes most in this world is money. If she had money, she wouldn''t have to give away her son after he was born because she didn''t have money for medical treatment. If she had money, she could give her children a stable life without being disced. It''s better to have money yourself! Jocelyn Murray smiled embarrassingly, "You brat guessed just all of this. Mommy took the money. That Uncle Li is foolish but rich. He hired Mom as a tutor, 10 million a month, a total of six month, 60 million! We should take it." "..." Mommy is just a money fanatic! Well, for the sake of money, I can only continue to live here, but I still have to hurry up to find my father. That night, after the children fell asleep, Jocelyn Murray went to the main bedroom. As she opened the door and went in, Calvin Austin came out of the bathroom just in time. The man was only wearing a towel, his hair was still dripping wet, and his firm chest and abdominal muscles were clearly visible. Jocelyn Murray was dumbfounded! Unexpectedly, Calvin Austin looked thinner when he was dressed, and he was fleshy when he took off his clothes. His whole body was quite strong, and he looked like a superman. "Have you seen enough?" Calvin Austin wiped his head with a white towel, while squinting at the dazed Jocelyn Murray, and asked jokingly, "Have you never seen a man''s body?" N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Jocelyn Murray came back to her senses, her small face became hot because of embarrassment that she forced herself not to open her eyes. She said with a smile, "Of course I''ve seen it! Otherwise, where did my two sonse from?" "Then why are you blushing?" Calvin Austin suddenly stretched out an arm, pinned her against the wall, lowered his eyes and asked with a half-smile. "I''m not blushing, it''s because the temperature in the room is too high." Suddenly she was too close to Calvin Austin, Jocelyn Murray''s whole body tensed up, can you talk properly, don''t do this please! "What is the Article 3 of the agreement?" When she was tested suddenly, Jocelyn Murray''s brain froze for a moment, she thought about it carefully, and quickly answered, "It''s... I can''t have any improper thoughts about you." "So, are you fantasizing about me now?" Calvin Austin''s handsome facial features are close at hand, his thin lips exude a faint fragrance, and his maic and cool voice is like a bright moon on a snow mountain, touching people''s hearts. Obviously he was teasing her on purpose! "I didn''t!" Jocelyn Murray shook her head in denial, she wasn''t a nympho, how could she dream of seeing him without clothes on? "Really? Wipe off the nosebleed first." When Calvin Austin withdrew his arm, he threw the towel in his hand on her face, with a somewhat mocking tone. Nosebleed? Jocelyn Murray lowered her head, wiped the bottom of her nose with her hand, damn, she actually had a nosebleed! It was the first time I got a nosebleed because I saw a man in the bath, it was really embarrassing! Jocelyn Murray rushed into the bathroom, washed up, and came out again. It seemed that nothing happened. The main bedroom was much bigger than she thought, and it was a suite. When she walked into the bedroom, she saw Calvin Austin half leaning on the bedside, flipping through a book. The room was filled with pleasant light music, and the atmosphere was very rxing. Jocelyn Murray didn''t have the heart to destroy this atmosphere. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he said, "Well, Mr. Li, your mother asked me to live in the master bedroom. What do you think should I do?" "If you don''t mind, I can share half of my bed with you." Calvin Austin continued flipping through the book in his hand without even raising his eyelids. He is quite generous, but they are just a cooperative rtionship, not a real couple, how can they sleep in the same bed? "Forget about it, I''ll sleep on the sofa." Anyway, Calvin Austin is her employer, and for the sake of 60 million, Jocelyn Murray would not mind if she sleeps on the sofa for six months. "It''s up to you." Calvin Austin absolutely respected her choice, did not force her, and reminded her that there were pillows and quilts in the closet. Jocelyn Murray had just taken out the quilt and pillows and spread the sofa, but blood flowed down from under her nose again, "What''s going on? I''ve got a nosebleed again! I''m so unlucky!" Jocelyn Murray used the paper towels on the table to wipe, but more and more were bleeding. She was just so embarrassed. Just when she did not know want to do next, the man suddenly came over and pushed her on the sofa. Jocelyn Murray was so frightened that she wanted to run away, "Ah, what do you want?" "Don''t move." Calvin Austin just saw her in a hurry and couldn''t stand it any longer, so he came over to help her. He asked her to lie still, and then used a clean cotton ball to help her press her nostrils to stop the bleeding. The man was on top, condescending, with his arms resting on the back of Jocelyn Murray''s head. Jocelyn Murray looked up at him, her body was also being suppressed by him, her posture was extremely awkward. Especially when she opened her eyes and could see his slightly open nightgown cor, revealing her sexy chest and delicate corbone, Jocelyn Murray swallowed subconsciously. "It seems that you want me so much?" Calvin Austin curled his lips maliciously, piercing her small thoughts with a nce. Jocelyn Murray''s cheeks were super flushed and hot, and she exined with a guilty conscience, "I didn''t! My nosebleeds are habitual, and they don''te from looking at you. Please don''t misunderstand, Mr. Austin!" As she was about to stop bleeding, Calvin Austin let go of her, got up from the sofa, and said when he turned around, "It''s best to be like this! Take care of yourself! Otherwise, when the agreement ends, you will be the one who is sad!" After hearing this, Jocelyn Murray couldn''t help feeling angry, how could she be sure that she would be the one who was sad after 6 months? She is not a casual woman, and she will not easily fall in love again. After six months, after she get paid, everything would be done then. In this way, Jocelyn Murray settled down, and everyone was clearly separated. Jocelyn Murray would not be easily emotional, and Calvin Austin would not either. No one knows that he, who seems indifferent and ruthless, also has a soft ce in his heart, where a little girl has always lived. Ten years ago, when he and his father and elder brother were flying over the Sea of Mr, the ne broke down and they fell into the icy sea from a high altitude. When he woke up again, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar ce, badly wounded and covered in bandages all over his body. He learned from the nurse that he was rescued after the disaster and is now in Lunen Ind Nursing Home. The saddest was he learned that his father and elder brother were both dead, and his dearest father and elder brother were both dead. God knows how sad and desperate he was at that time. Chapter 15 Its Daddy Chapter 15 It''s Daddy Chapter 15 It''s Daddy Calvin was heartbroken and wanted to die in despair for a time. However, a little girl appeared beside him at that time. She said that her name was Candy. She heard him cry so she came to comfort him. She wore a mask and smiled when she spoke. She said that she found him floating in the sea and asked someone to save him. He was injured and could not speak. During those difficult and painful times, it was Candy who apanied him and told him stories and jokes to make him happy. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Candy became a light in his dark life. She must be the little angel sent by God to save him. One dayter, Candy''s family came to pick her up. He couldn''t bear it and gave her his emerald ne. He was thinking that if he could find Candy in the future, he would repay her well. Ten yearster, when he was able to find her, he learned that the tsunami hit Lunen Ind, the nursing home was damaged, all the data were destroyed, and no information rted to Candy could be found. For so many years, he had been thinking about where Candy was. Did she still remember him? ... The next day, after breakfast, Jocelyn needed to go out to meet a friend. Jeffrey wanted to follow her. He wanted to call Tammy away, but she didn''t want to. "Jeffrey, if we all leave, isn''t Sean very lonely? I want to apany him." Tammy had decided not to go out, but Jeffrey couldn''t stand her being so close to Sean. To get Tammy away, Jeffrey had to use his unique skill. "Tammy, Jocelyn will take us to eat delicious food." "What delicious food?" Tammy heard that there was delicious food and looked delighted with her big ck eyes. "The most delicious rainbow cake in the world. Don''t you really want to eat it?" Tammy couldn''t stand the temptation of delicious food. She immediately took Jeffrey''s hand and said, "Yep, I want the cake. Jeffrey, let''s go!" Tammy said to Sean when she left, "Wait for me, Sean. I''ll bring you the most delicious rainbow cake when I''m back!" In this way, Jeffrey finally cheated Tammy away and felt a lot better. Jeffrey thought that let Sean be lonely himself! Didn''t try to make Tammy stay! The Austin family prepared drivers and cars for them and sent them downtown. Arriving at the appointed ce, Jocelyn saw her old friend Veronica Gaspar. Veronica was Jocelyn''s former agent. After Jocelyn''s ident five years ago, Veronica gave her a lot of help. So far, they hadn''t seen each other for five years. Jocelyn was already a has-been, while Veronica had worked hard from an intern agent to be the ace agent of Icehive Entertainment today. Although the identity gap between them had changed a lot, they had always been very good friends privately. In the years after going abroad, Jocelyn stayed in touch with her. Veronica was also very awesome, silently supported Jocelyn, and imed that she would help Jocelyn as long as Jocelyn returned home for development. "Jocelyn, here!" Even though Jocelyn wore a mask and sunsses, Veronica recognized her at a nce. "Veronica!" Jocelyn ran forward and they hugged excitedly. Veronica was moved to cry. "Jocelyn, you are back eventually..." After the two hugged, Veronica saw a pair of children beside Jocelyn, and was surprised to ask, "Jocelyn, are they your children, Jeffrey and Tammy? How lovely!" Veronica had seen the pictures of the two children before, but now she had really seen them. Jeffrey and Tammy were so cute and beautiful that she couldn''t help hugging them. "Hello, Veronica, I''m Jeffrey." "Jeffrey, you''re so handsome. How about being my boyfriend?" Veronica liked the little guy too much. "I''m sorry, Veronica. I''ll only be Jocelyn''s boyfriend. I like her the most." "Aw, I''m gonna be sad..." "Veronica, don''t be sad. You will definitely find a tall and handsome boyfriend!" Tammyforted Veronica. "Ha ha ha, Jocelyn must be happy with you two. I envy her so much! I want to take you all home!" Veronica did like the two children. After they sat down, Jocelyn and Veronica talked about Jeffrey and Tammy for a while before Jocelyn said, "Veronica, I have decided to be a celebrity again!" "Of course, no problem! What I''m waiting for are your such words! You can rest assured that as long as you be a celebrity again, I will help you! But at the moment, we need to solve the problem about Ernest. You have destroyed his betrothal wedding and ruined his and Theresa''s reputation. They will not let you go easily." Veronica thought of something and said, "By the way,st night, there was an ident in Icehive Entertainment. All the resources for the new film The Phoenix Queen, which has been prepared for several years, have disappeared. Besides, the system servers of Icehive Entertainment have all been paralyzed. Ernest''sputer was dead and it showed the picture of "scum eating shit". Is it also done by you? Which expert did you ask to help you?" "No, it''s my son." Jocelyn smiled and touched Jeffrey''s small head. "Your son?" Veronica was very surprised that the little guy was proficient inputer and hacker technology. "Yes, Veronica, I have the resources now." Jeffrey wanted to help Jocelyn deal with the scum man and taught him a lesson. "Ernest was furious in the office. He suspected that it was you and had someone catch you. Aren''t you very dangerous?" Veronica asked anxiously. "Am I afraid of him? As long as I don''t admit it, what can he do with me?" Jocelyn smiled and said, "And the new film release will be at 9:00 am tomorrow. I''d like to see how he responds to the media." During the chat, Veronica received an emergency call from Icehive Entertainment and told her to go back to the meeting, so she had to say goodbye to them first. After Veronica left, Jocelyn apanied her two children to eat dessert. Tammy was very happy and said, "Jeffrey, the rainbow cake here is delicious!" "Well, it''s delicious." Jeffrey also ate happily. "Jeffrey, Tammy, you two eat slowly here. I will go to the bathroom ande back soon." Jocelyn packed up, got up, and left her seat. After she left, a tall man came in at the door of the restaurant. Jeffrey nced at the man at random and saw clearly that he was Todd! "Hey, Tammy, stop eating! I found Daddy!" Jeffrey put down the spoon and shouted to Tammy. Tammy''s mouth was full of cream. She licked her finger and asked, "Where is Daddy?" "There!" Tammy followed the direction of Jeffrey''s finger and saw a tall and handsome man exactly like their daddy in the photo on Jeffrey''s tabletputer. Todd arrived at the restaurant. He had just entered the restaurant but had not found a seat. His thigh was immediately held by someone, and he was called daddy by two babyish voices. ... Chapter 16 I Have Waited for You for Long Chapter 16 I Have Waited for You for Long Chapter 16 I Have Waited for You for Long "Daddy!" "Daddy..." Todd looked down and saw that it was two children aged four or five years old, holding his leg and calling him daddy. Suddenly, he was dumbfounded. He thought it was weird that the two strange children called him daddy. "Hey, kids, you guys can''t call someone daddy randomly. I''m not married. How can I be your daddy? You must have the wrong person!" Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "No mistake! You are our daddy!" "Daddy, Jeffrey and I eventually found you, Daddy..." Tammy rubbed all the cream on her mouth onto Todd''s expensive suit pants. If it weren''t for the sake of two children, Todd would have been furious. He wanted to know whose children were calling him daddy casually. Was it someone who deliberately harassed him, or was it a new type of fraud? "I''m really not your daddy, kids!" Todd squatted down and patiently exined, "Whose children are you? What is your mammy''s name?" At this time, Jocelyn came back from the bathroom and saw two children pestered with a man at the door. She came quickly and asked, "Tammy, Jeffrey, what are you doing?" Todd suddenly heard Jocelyn''s voice, looked up, and saw a familiar face. "Jocelyn?" "Todd?" Jocelyn saw Todd in a silver suit. They hadn''t seen each other for many years. Todd was still handsome, with long, narrow, and sharp ck eyes. One could find him charming from the corners of his lips. He had a kind of feminine beauty but the strength of masculinity. This was Todd, the president of the Garner Group, who grew up with her as a childhood sweetheart. Though he was a male, he was more beautiful than most women, so everyone called him "Beauty Garner" secretly. "Is it really you? Jocelyn! I have been waiting for you for a long time! You''re finally back!" Todd was so happy and surprised to see Jocelyn. She said to her two children, "Jeffrey, Tammy, let go of him! He is one of my old friends." "No, it''s Daddy!" "Yes, Mommy, we found Daddy." Jeffrey and Tammy tell Jocelyn happily. Todd was shocked again. He couldn''t believe it. He looked at the children and looked at Jocelyn again. "Jocelyn, don''t tell me that these two children are yours... No, they call me Daddy... Are they my children?" "No, Todd..." Jocelyn wanted to exin, but Jeffrey said first, "Mommy, he is our daddy. I have found out that you spent the night in the hotel with him five years ago, and then there were Tammy and me." Jeffrey said the name of the hotel and the time five years ago. Although Todd didn''t remember it in detail, he went to the hotel five years ago and had sex with a woman that night. Could it be that the woman of that night was Jocelyn? This was too surprising! "I ... I really didn''t expect that... Jocelyn... We... Our children are so old..." Todd couldn''t describe how excited he was now. His mood seemedplicated and happy in his eyes. No one knew Jocelyn''s weight in his mind. It could be said that the Garner family and the Murray family were old family friends. Todd and Jocelyn had known each other since childhood. They went to school and grew up together. He liked Jocelyn andter chased her, but she chose Ernest at the age of 18. Later, Jocelyn quietly retired and disappeared, causing Todd to worry about her for so many years. Now they eventually meet each other again. She also brought back two children, and they were his children. How could he not be surprised? Jocelyn was also confused since Jeffrey found out what happened five years ago and said it clearly. But it took too long. At that time, she was in a daze and not being in her right mind. She couldn''t remember what happened that night. Was the man that night really Todd? If it was Todd, Jocelyn didn''t suffer losses. "Great, you''re Jeffrey and you''re Tammy, right? Let me take a good look at you!" Todd held the two children in his arms and looked at their small fair faces. He suddenly had a strong sense of responsibility. Jocelyn bore Todd two children. She must have suffered a lot over the years. From now on, he would never let them suffer. After they sat down, Todd hugged the two children and chatted happily with Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, where have you been these years? How are you? How hard are you to raise two children alone? Why don''t you contact me? I''ve been looking for you for a long time!" "I have gone abroad, and I have had a good time in recent years." Jocelyn didn''t want to mention the specific experience again, just in brief. "Jocelyn, you suffered too much. Now that you have brought our children back to me, I will be responsible for you guys." Todd decided to take Jocelyn and their children back to the Garner family. "Follow me back to the Garner familyter. My grandpa will be very happy if he knows you are back." "Well, Todd, I can''t today. I..." Jocelyn was annoyed. How could she exin the contract marriage between herself and Calvin? If she had met Todd earlier, it might not have happened. Jeffrey helped exin, "Daddy, Mommy is now a tutor." "Tutor? To whom?" Todd asked. "At the uncle''s house called Calvin. There is a quiet boy," said Jeffrey. "You mean Calvin? Calvin is my cousin! I know. Isn''t Sean?" Todd knew that Sean, the son of his cousin, was indeed unable to speak. He did not expect that Jocelyn was now working as a tutor in the Austin family. It seemed that tutoring was much better. Jocelyn could only continue to lie, "Yes, his son Sean has aphasia. He wants my two children to help enlighten, so I have signed an agreement with Calvin for six months (as a wife)." "Well, if you don''te back with me, I''ll arrange amodation for you outside." "No, Calvin provides food and amodation. We don''t have to worry about our lives." Jocelyn didn''t know how to tell him that she had signed a marriage agreement with Calvin. If she had known that Todd was the father of her children earlier, she would not have signed an agreement for 12 million dors! s, Jocelyn regretted it! After having lunch outside, Todd personally drove the three of them back to the Austin family, and he just came to visit Calvin. "Why are you here?" When Calvin saw Todding, he was surprised. At ordinary times, when Calvin asked Todd to his home to y, Todd would say he had no time. "Calvin, I should thank you for helping me a lot." "What do you mean?" ... Chapter 17 Things Seem to Suddenly Become Complicated Chapter 17 Things Seem to Suddenly Be Complicated Chapter 17 Things Seem to Suddenly Be Complicated Todd came to the sofa and sat down with smiling eyes. He proudly told Calvin, "Thank you for taking my wife and children." "What?" Calvin didn''t understand what he meant. Todd turned back and pointed to Jocelyn and the two little guys who came in the door and said excitedly, "It''s them. Jocelyn bore me a pigeon pair, and I am their father, you know?" After making it clear that what Todd meant by "wife and children" was Jocelyn and two little kids, Calvin looked gloomy suddenly. Was Todd the father of Jocelyn''s children? Calvin thought. "How can it be?" Calvin didn''t know how to digest this matter. He just registered to marry Jocelyn. Now Todd said they were his wife and children. Calvin felt like his baby was taken. "It''s true. We were all drunk and drugged that night five years ago. Do you remember it? I had sex with her that night. Oh, I can''t believe it. She gave me such a surprise after she left for five years." Todd was extremely happy. When he saw Tammy running in, he immediately opened his arms to catch her and let her sit on hisp. "Calvin, look at my little girl. Isn''t her cute? Do you want one in your dreams?" Calvin was extremely annoyed. He thought it was obvious that Todd came to show off. The development of the situation was contrary to Calvin''s idea. And what happened to that woman, Jocelyn? Since Jocelyn had children with Todd, why didn''t she tell Calvin earlier? "Oh, I am so lucky to have a pair of children at once. Ah, I have to say, it''s good to be a father!" Todd was so intoxicated that he held Tammy''s small face and said, "Tammy, call me Daddy!" "Daddy!" Tammy said sweetly and obediently. "Yep!" Todd was full of the joys of spring. Calvin heard that Tammy called Todd Daddy. He couldn''t help being jealous. Why was he so upset when she called someone else Daddy? He thought. Tammy smiled brilliantly, revealing a row of small fair teeth. She told Calvin, "Calvin, I have Daddy! But Calvin, don''t be sad. You can also be my Daddy!" Be Tammy''s Daddy? Calvin had a rare smile. He looked at Jocelyn, who came in at the door. He wanted to know what she wanted to do and how she nned to do it. Jocelyn brought Jeffrey into the house, and then handed the cake box packed in her hand to Tammy, "Tammy, go and give the cake to Sean!" "OK, Mommy!" Tammy came down from Todd''s leg, took the cake box, and went to find Sean happily. Todd waved to Jeffrey again. "Come here, Jeffrey,e to Daddy!" Jeffrey was holding a big box in his arms, which was a very cool new toy bought by Todd. He came to Todd''s side and asked him to help unpack it. Calvin looked at the scene of Todd and Jeffrey getting along well. He was upset for no reason. He, as a "stepfather", was not familiar with the children yet. Now Todd, their father, was here. It would be fine if their father was anyone else, but it was Todd, Calvin''s cousin. Calvin unhappily pulled his tie and stared at Jocelyn with unfathomable eyes. "Did you know Todd before?" Jocelyn noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense, especially Calvin''s horrible look, and could only say awkwardly, "Yes, I went to school with Bro Todd since childhood, and we have known each other for many years." N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Bro Todd? Calvin never knew that there were so many memories between his cousin Todd and Jocelyn. Todd suddenly came over, grabbed her shoulder, hugged her affectionately, and unconsciously added, "Sis Jocelyn and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have a good rtionship!" "..." Sis Jocelyn? Childhood sweethearts? Looking at Todd''s hand on Jocelyn''s shoulder, Calvin narrowed his ck eyes slightly, and he looked furious. Calvin only felt that his male dignity seemed to be provoked. He thought that Jocelyn forgot the agreement between them. Jocelyn was overwhelmed by Todd''s intimate behavior, and could only leave a little distance without any trace. "Really? Chat yourselves. I''ll go upstairs and deal with something." Calvin said sarcastically and made a nonchnt appearance. He stood up, walked out of the living room, and went upstairs. Jocelyn was a little worried. Calvin and she had a contract to marry, but now there was a third person, Todd. Would Calvin mistakenly think that she had nned in advance? It seemed that things suddenly becameplicated! What should she say to Todd? Todd and Jeffrey had been ying with toys all the time. They had a tacit understanding and were happy. She had no chance to talk to Todd. She could only wait until the time was appropriate. Todd spent the afternoon at the Austin family. He yed happily with his two children alone. In the evening, he had a meal at the Austin family. At the dinner table, Todd had driven a lot. He said much, "It''s all my fault! Jocelyn has suffered a lot because I haven''t taken care of her for so many years. I''m really sorry for them!" "Todd, stop talking and eat!" Jocelyn wanted him to stop talking, but Todd was drunk and continued, "Jocelyn, don''t worry! From now on, I will not let you guys suffer and be bullied. I will let you live a good life and live in a big house. I will cherish you and let you be my princess." Todd also grabbed Jocelyn''s hand when talking about the emotional situation. Jocelyn couldn''t let go of his hand. She was anxious. Todd''s words were more and more ridiculous and she really wanted to hide from here. Taking a sneak look at Calvin, she found that he was furious, making people scared. Calvin was drinking unhappily. Listening to Todd''s noise really upset him. He felt that today''s wine was not good at all. Todd drank his ss dry and asked, "Is there any more wine? I''m happy today, and I want to drink more!" "No! It''s gettingte. You should go back!" Calvin put down his ss and calmly asked Todd to leave. "I won''t go back tonight. My wife and children are here, and I will apany them here." Todd hadn''t had time to tell Jocelyn about his lovesickness. How could he go back? "There is no ce for you to live here! I will send you back!" Calvin called his men and told them to send Todd back to the Garner family. Todd didn''t want to leave. It was Calvin''s subordinates who sent him out. Toddined with a hup, "Calvin, you''re so mean. I came here before, and you let me live freely. Why not today?" "There is no reason. Go away!" Calvin kicked him rudely. Chapter 18 He Was Reluctant to Let Her Go Chapter 18 He Was Reluctant to Let Her Go Chapter 18 He Was Reluctant to Let Her Go Before leaving, Todd said, "Jocelyn, I''lle to you tomorrow! Tammy, daddy is leaving. I''ll bring you yummy food tomorrow!" "Thank you daddy, see you tomorrow!" Tammy waved delightedly. She liked this dad who had bought her lots of delicious food and toys. It was so great! In her mind, anyone bought her din-dins could be her dad. There was nothing bad to have more than one dad. She hoped to have more dads, then she would get more din-dins. After dinner, Calvin went upstairs without saying a word. Jocelyn bathed the kids and took them to bed. After they fell asleep, she went back to the bedroom. Calvin leaned against the bedside, reading a book. Jocelyn went in. After hesitating, she plucked up her courage and said. "Mr. Austin, I want to exin that I met Todd today. And I didn''t know he is the dad of Jeffrey and Tammy. So I signed that contract with you. I didn''t mean to hide or deceive you. Please trust me!" "What are you going to do now? Do you want to go with him or stay?" Calvin put down his book and looked up at her. If they had not signed the contract and got the marriage certificate, things might not have be soplicated. Knowing that she was his cousin''s woman and his cousin was the dad of the kids, he would surely let them go and send blessings. But now, from the moment she became his "wife", he was reluctant to let her go. "I''ll stay. We have signed the contract. I won''t break my word." She had to get the 12 million dors first anyway. Otherwise, if she divorced, she would be a divorced woman and wouldn''t get even a cent. She was not that silly. Hearing her words, Calvin felt a burst of joy. However, he didn''t show it but said seriously, "I gave you the chance, and you made the choice. I hope you can make it clear to Todd. Otherwise, he might me me for snatching his wife and children." "I will. I will deal with it. He won''t me you. It''s only a six-month contract. After six months, the contract will be terminated." Jocelyn made up her mind to talk to Todd when met him again. If he could ept it and was willing to wait for her for six months, she would go to him with the kids. But if he couldn''t ept it, there would be nothing she could do! She received a message from Veronica saying that Icehive Entertainment didn''t change the time of the new film press conference. Ernest didn''t change the time, but was trying to find the source of the new film. After lying down, Jocelyn kept thinking about it. The source of the new film had been destroyed by her son. If Ernest held the press conference, wasn''t he cheating the public? Since he dared to do so, Jocelyn should give him a lesson tomorrow! ... The new film of Icehive, "The Phoenix Queen", was being promoted on all major portals. Online media were also following up on the progress of the press conference of "The Phoenix Queen". Ernest suppressed the news of the internal chaos of Icehive and the theft of the source of new film well. It was not exposed. At eight in the morning, thergest conference hall of the five-star hotel had been arranged as the scene of the press conference of The Phoenix Queen. The investors, main creators and main actors of "The Phoenix Queen" were all here. And all the media had gathered here, waiting for the press conference. Meanwhile, in the backstage lounge, Ernest, the producer, received a call from his subordinate. Being told that they didn''t find Jocelyn, he was so angry that he broke the ss on the table. "Crash..." The ss shattered, but his hatred was not dispelled. It was his carelessness that allowed Jocelyn to get the chance and destroyed his efforts. It was also Jocelyn that led to his dilemma today, and many ns had to be shelved. "Ernest, it''s all that bitch''s fault. What should we do now? If we can''t find the source, should we cancel the press conference?" Theresa had got Ernest''s forgiveness. Under such circumstances, they united to fight against Jocelyn together. Ernest chose to forgive Theresa not because he loved her so much, but because Theresa held a lot against him and he dared not annoy her. More importantly, Theresa was pregnant! "Everything proceeds as usual." After calming down, a vicious color shed through Ernest''s eyes. Since that bitch, Jocelyn, didn''t die and dared to find fault, she wouldn''t hide forever. She had the ability to destroy Icehive easily. How could she do that? Ernest wondered if she had found herself a backer. Who was the hacker behind her? Since she dared to do so, she must have thest source as a chip. Thus, only by finding her could he get it back. Now he just needed to think about how to find Jocelyn and get it back from her. As long as he could find it back before the release, he could recover the losses. As the press conference started, the female lead in the film, Theresa came up to the stage with other main actors. After the interview, Ernest was also invited to the stage and received the interview. ... At the same time, a luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the gate of the hotel. And as soon as Jocelyn got off the car, she attracted the attention of everyone outside. Jocelyn was in a bright V-neck long dress. With her long hair tied up high, several strands of hair hung down on both sides of her cheeks. Her delicate and beautiful face was covered by a pair of sunsses, revealing her gorgeous red lips and perfect chin. There was a strong queen''s air around her. Seeing such an elegant and beautifuldy apanied by professional bodyguards, the reporters thought she was one of the guests being invited or a star. So they all began to take photos of her. Jocelyn smiled at the camera, refused all interviews and walked into the press conference under the protection of the bodyguards. An invitation was needed to enter the press conference. Jocelyn had got one from Veronicast night. After showing the invitation, Jocelyn walked in straight. On the stage of the press conference, Ernest, dressed in a suit, was answering questions from reporters. Looking at that familiar but strange face, Jocelyn had aplex feeling. She remembered all the things in the past. She debuted when she was a child. She had always been the hottest super star. It was admitted that she had a supernatural power. Every male star who had worked with her would be a super star, even for a nobody. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ... Chapter 19 It Was Really Embarrassing! Chapter 19 It Was Really Embarrassing! Chapter 19 It Was Really Embarrassing! At that time, she was so popr that many entertainmentpanies With her own abilities and resources, she made Ernest and Icehive better. She devoted all her passion to him. But in the end, what did she get? Only the betrayal! And the frame up! Now, everything had changed. Jocelyn came round finally. She would never give her all to anyone. She would find herself back, be proud and confident, and never rely on men again. She would take everything that belonged to her back by herself! Took a deep breath, Jocelyn walked over with her back straight. She looked at the man delivering a speech, exining the tough making process of "The Phoenix Queen". He really delivered a wonderful speech. He didn''t tell the reporters about the ident but announced that the new film would be released as scheduled. Jocelyn thought he was really an excellent liar. She just wanted to ask him, "Don''t you feel pain in your face?" The reporters were all focusing on Ernest on the stage. Jocelyn sneaked into the reporters. No one noticed her. During the on-site questioning, the reporters cared much about the specific release time. Jocelyn took out a microphone that she prepared in advance and asked a question towards the stage. "Excuse me, Mr. Cloutier. Haven''t you announced that there is a serious mistake within your company? It is said that all the sources of "The Phoenix Queen" have disappeared and the film cannot be released as scheduled. Why do you hide it from the media? The source had gone. Why did you lie to the media and the audience?" Hearing the words, everyone was shocked. Everyone turned to look at her at the same time, including Ernest, Theresa and others on the stage. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. The reporters didn''t recognize Jocelyn at once, but they were all curious whether what the noble and elegantdy just said was true. At the moment, the attention of the media had been turned to Ernest on the stage, and all kinds of suspicions rushed towards him. "Mr. Cloutier, is what thedy just said true?" "Mr. Cloutier, what happened to yourpany? Is it true that the source of "The Phoenix Queen" is gone?" "Mr. Cloutier, please say something?" ... Jocelyn had been absence from the screen for too long. Others might couldn''t recognize her, but Ernest recognized her at once. Seeing the one came to cause troubles was Jocelyn, Ernest was pissed off and even wanted to kill her. But now there were too many reporters here, he had only to calm himself down and cate the reporters. "Dear friends, please don''t believe in hearsay and rumors. Icehive Entertainment is developing steadily, and the review and release of the new film is under preparation. Please give more support at that time..." Ernest was trying hard to exin. But he didn''t know that something happened behind him. What was being yed on the screen was the monitoring video showing Ernest smashed things crazily when he knew all the documents had been destroyed. It was really embarrassing! Seeing what was ying on the screen, the reporters began to talk to each other. At first, Ernest didn''t know what the reporters were talking about. Until one of the staff came to remind him did he see the screen. Jesus! Who did this? Ernest''s face soon turned dark and asked someone to turn it off. He might never know that it was a five-year-old kid who handled all these. He made Ernest shameless and awkward, just like a fool. The din was even louder. One of them asked Ernest directly. "Mr. Cloutier, you''re cheating the audience. How could you do this?" "You''re hiding the truth from us. The source was gone. How can the film be released on time? We''ve been waiting for it so long. But you''re cheating us. It''s disappointing!" "What the hell! You make us fools!" ... The doubts came towards Ernest like raging waves. Ernest was caught unprepared. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He wanted to make a trend after the press conference. But today, it was all destroyed by Jocelyn! Disappointed reporters began to leave. Ernest kept exining and wanted to stop them, but it was all in vain. Seeing Jocelyn stood among the leaving crowd, Ernest made a gesture to tell her to stay. Meanwhile, he asked someone to catch Jocelyn. Jocelyn smiled at him, then she turned around elegantly and left with the crowd. Ernest was furious. He wished he could kill Jocelyn now. Seeing Jocelyn left, he chased her with some men. Ernest''s men came in from the outside of the hotel. Seeing them, Jocelyn soon left from the safe passage. "Go! Catch her!" Ernest made the order. The bodyguards ran after Jocelyn crazily. In order to leave safely, Jocelyn took off her high-heeled shoes and ran barefoot. When Jocelyn arrived at the first floor and was about to run out of the hotel, several men jumped down and stopped her. They said fiercely, "Ms. Murray, give us the source, or Mr. Cloutier won''t let you go!" "I don''t have the source!" Jocelyn refused then and fought with two men. In the past five years, she had learned self-defense. So it was not hard for her to deal with two men. However, before she got rid of the two men, more men came towards her and surrounded her. Jocelyn''s vicle was injured by a dagger. Because of the pain, Jocelyn was slightly panic. Those men then took the opportunity to catch her. Then, Ernest, with a gloomy face, stepped down the stairs step by step, and red at her, "JOCELYN!" It was their first meet after five years. She not only ruined his engagement ceremony with Theresa, but also destroyed the server of Icehive and stole the source of the new film. Ernest would never expect it. "The Phoenix Queen" was created by him with great efforts and huge investment. If the source was lost and the film couldn''t be released on time, it would cause irreparable losses to Icehive. And its reputation would also be influenced. "Run! Why don''t you run?" Ernest said angrily, gnashing his teeth. He wished he could crush Jocelyn, "I don''t want to waste time. Give me the source!" "I don''t know what you mean?" Jocelyn sneered. "Stop lying! You sent someone to steal the source of The Phoenix Queen and destroy the server. You did it all! How dare you deny it! Don''t let me say it again! Give it to me! Or I won''t let it pass you!" Ernest''s eyes were full of anger. Once he got the source back, he would immediately kill this bitch! ... Chapter 20 Dont Force Me Chapter 20 Don''t Force Me Chapter 20 Don''t Force Me "When did Mr. Cloutier show me mercy? How did you treat me five years ago? Did you think about me when you cheated on me? To make Theresa a super star, you pushed me into the hell. Did you forget it all? You want to live in peace and love? I won''t let that happen." Thinking of what happened to her five years ago, Jocelyn felt that what she had done was far from enough! She would let Ernest and Theresa get punished and live in pain. That was her goal! Seeing that she refused topromise, Ernest continued to threaten, "Jocelyn, we''ve known each other for so long. I can ignore what you have done. But you have to know that what you''ve done has vited thew. If I sue you, you would be sent into the prison! Are you clear?" Ernest stared at Jocelyn with malicious eyes and his tone was full of warnings and threats. Did he think she would be scared? Jocelyn sneered and said, "Well! If you want to sue me, please hurry up! I also want to talk to the police about what you''ve done these years. Bribes, tax evasion and illegally suppression of artists. Let''s see the police will help you or not?" "You..." Ernest''s face turned blue with anger. He wished he could choke Jocelyn. But he still tried his best to calm himself down and took another way. "Jocelyn, don''t be silly. There is no good for you to do that. As long as you can return it back, I promise to make it up to you. Besides, your long-term contract will also be valid. If you want, you can return to Icehive at any time. I''ll make you to be a top star and provide you all the best resources. Why don''t you think about it?" To make it up to her? Could he eliminate her tragic experience of being pushed to the hell? Could he make up for the grievance and humiliation she had suffered? Five years ago, it was because she believed in his nonsenses that she was taken advantage by him and came to such a miserable end. Did he want to do that again now? Jocelyn wanted to tell him that she would rather believe that there were ghosts in the world than believe his words again. "You''re so forgetful, Mr. Cloutier. Five years ago, you hit me and destroyed me. Now you want to do it again. Do you think I''m a fool?" Seeing Jocelyn still refused topromise, Ernest put on a malicious face again, "You''d better give it to me now. Don''t force me!" "I''ve destroyed it! It''s gone!" Jocelyn lifted her chin and said coldly. "You''re really a stupid woman!" Ernest reached out to approach her neck, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in the palm. Took back his hand, he saw a blood mark on the palm of his hand. Ernest looked up in surprise, and saw that Jocelyn had already got rid of the grip of the bodyguards. And she was holding a fruit knife, waving through others'' front. "Ah..." With a scream, the bodyguards fell to the ground and howled. Ernest was furious and wanted to catch her, but was kicked in the crotch by Jocelyn. "Och..." Ernest gripped his legs and screamed in pain. Before they reacted, Jocelyn left soon. "Jocelyn! Stop..." Ernest shouted behind her, but Jocelyn had disappeared. ... There was a car arranged to pick Jocelyn up. Marcus was the driver arranged by Calvin. Jocelyn got on the car and ordered Marcus to leave. While driving the car, Marcus looked at Jocelyn through the rearview and saw the blood on her. He asked, "Ms. Murray, are you injured?" "I''m okay. It''s not serious. Don''t tell Mr. Austin." Jocelyn pressed the wound, took out a wet paper towel from the bag to wipe the blood on the neck. And then she found out a silk towel from the bag and put it around her neck to cover the wound. "Go to the cemetery!" Jocelyn''s main task today was to worship her mother. She just destroyed the press conference in passing. Today was the anniversary of her mother''s death. There was a bunch of white roses next to the tombstone. That was her mother''s favorite flower. It was said that it was going to rain, so she didn''t take children with her. Next time she would bring them to see their grandmother! In the cemetery, Jocelyn stood in front of her mother''s tombstone with roses in her hand, watching the beautiful and gentle face on the tombstone. For five years, she had note to worship her mother. But during these five years, she had never forgotten her mother. So sad was Jocelyn that she knelt down in front of the tombstone and hugged her mother. Mom... I missed you so much, mom... She missed her mother, and how happy she was when her mother was alive. Her mother was a versatile singing and dancing artist. When she was very young, she trained her artistic temperament such as singing and dancing. When she was two years old, she received the first advertisement for baby products in her life. From then on, her mother became her first agent, took her to the road of deduction, and trained her to be a child star known to all. Until her mother died, Jocelyn''s fortress of happiness copsed, and her life fell from heaven to hell.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Mothers were the best in the world. Children without mothers were as poor as a straw... After that, she became a lonely straw and could only rely on the memories of the past to warm herself. Jocelyn stayed with her mother in the cemetery for a long time, until the gloomy sky began to drizzle. Marcus came to remind her, "Ms. Austin, it''s raining. Time to go!" Got up, Jocelyn looked at the picture on the tombstone. She said to her mother firmly in her heart. Mom, I would live well and face everything firmly. I would be an excellent actress in the future and be a daughter who could make you proud. You wanted me to be an excellent actress. I would definitely realize your wish! ... At the gate of Fallcastle, Jeffrey was sitting on a stool, with his chin on his hands, staring at the road. He had been waiting for so long, but mom hadn''te back. He was a little worried. Had mommy finished everything? He should have followed mommy and protect her! It drizzled, and the air on the top of the mountain was wet. Beatrice came to the door with an umbre and saw Jeffery sitting here alone. She said, "Jeffrey, it''s raining. Let''s go inside." "Granny, don''t worry about me. I want to wait for mommy." Jeffery stayed still and continued to stare at the rain with his chin on his hands. Beatrice found that both of Jocelyn''s two children are very sensible and cute. The little girl was smart and willing to y with her grandson Sean. But how could Jeffery look more lonely than Sean? After Beatrice left, Jeffrey waited for a while, and finally saw a car in the rain curtain. ... Chapter 21 Jeffrey Is Considerate Chapter 21 Jeffrey Is Considerate Chapter 21 Jeffrey Is Considerate Soon, the luxury car stopped at the door of the Austin family. Jeffrey saw Jocelyn get out of the car and jumped up happily. Since Jocelyn came back finally, he wasn¡¯t worried anymore. "Mommy!" Jeffrey rushed to Jocelyn''s arms. Jocelyn had seen Jeffrey. She got out of the car and took an umbre. When she saw Jeffrey running, she quickly squatted down and opened her arms to catch him. "Honey, it''s raining. Why don''t you enter the house?" "Mommy, I''m worried about you!" Jeffrey held Jocelyn and looked up to say. Jeffrey was considerate. His words could move Jocelyn to cry. Seeing Jeffrey waiting for her in the rain always reminded her of her childhood and waiting for her mother. Jocelyn was touched. She kissed him on the face. "Well, I¡¯vee back. Don''t worry. Let''s go. Hurry to the house." Jocelyn and Jeffrey went into the door together, but she didn''t see Tammy. Jocelyn asked, "Where is Tammy?" "Mommy, leave her alone. She¡¯s always with Sean. She must take Sean as her brother! Not me anymore!" When Jeffrey said this, he rolled his eyes with anger and his cheeks were puffy. Jocelyn wanted tough. It seemed that Jeffrey was angry with Tammy and jealous of Sean again! "Well, go find and y with Tammy and Sean! Get along well with Sean! Think about what we are doing for. Hmm?" Jocelyn raised her eyebrows and reminded Jeffrey. "Yes, I''ll go to them." Jeffrey reluctantly went to Sean''s room. After persuading Jeffrey to leave, Jocelyn stopped smiling anymore. Her back was soaked in a cold sweat. She hurriedly went to find the medicine box and treated the wound for herself. Jeffrey came to Sean''s room and saw Tammy feeding Sean. Seeing Sean eating, Tammyughed happily. Jeffrey looked gloomier when he saw that Tammy smiled so sweetly at Sean. He thought, ¡°Tammy, Tammy, could you be cautious?¡± That guy was not your brother! You didn¡¯t treat your brother so well, right? Let me tell you, you were now a follower, Sean¡¯s follower. Humph! Good for nothing! In order to stop Tammy from pleasing Sean, Jeffrey walked in with arms akimbo and said, "Tammy, Mommy is back." "Oh, I see." Tammy just answered, didn''t put down the fruit te, and continued to eat fruits with Sean happily. Jeffrey felt angrier. He could not attract Tammy with Jocelyn. He wondered what was good about Sean. "Tammy, don''t you want to know what Mommy brought back? What if there is something delicious?" "Something delicious?" Tammy finally made a response. She stared at Jeffrey with big round eyes, then put down the fruit te, and said to Sean, "Sean, let''s go to see the delicious food Jocelyn brought, OK?" Sean¡¯s handsome face looked cold and he didn''t respond. Tammy pulled him out, but he didn''t refuse. Seeing Tammy and Sean running out hand in hand, Jeffrey was almost mad! My goodness. He couldn''t stand it! He thought. That was Jeffrey¡¯s sister! In the bathroom, Jocelyn pulled off the gauze on her neck and found that the handkerchief on the wound was soaked with blood. When she pulled it off, it stuck to the flesh, which made her gasp for air. "Hiss..." It hurt a lot every time she moved a little. Jocelyn only looked at the wound and didn''t notice the three small heads piled up at the door. Jeffrey found that Jocelyn''s chest was injured in the mirror. He was shocked and thought, "Oh dear, Mommy is injured. I didn''t even notice it just now!" Sean also saw Jocelyn. She was injured. and his cold face became more serious. He thought£¬"It must be very painful!" Tammy didn''t see what Jocelyn was doing and shouted, "Mommy, what are you doing?" Jocelyn panicked, turned back to see three small heads, quickly covered the wound, and exined, "Oh, I¡¯m taking off makeup! Why are you guys here? Can you go outside and wait for me? Go to y for a while. I¡¯m already done." "Yep!" Tammy was very obedient and pushed Jeffrey and Sean out. "Mommy is going to take off her makeup. Let''s y outside!" After the three kids left the room, Jeffrey took Tammy''s hand and said, "Tammy, Mommy is not taking off makeup. She is injured." "What? What can we do?" Tammy asked anxiously. "Don''t worry. I will call Daddy now and let hime to see Mommy." Jeffrey thought this was a good opportunity for Todd and Jocelyn to get along. "OK, Jeffrey, hurry up and call." Tammy ran away with Jeffrey. Sean stood there alone. He looked back at the bathroom and frowned, thinking of the injury on Jocelyn. He thought about whether he should inform Calvin. ... At Club Rapture, the most high-end VIP private club in Glebey. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. In the V8888 box, Calvin, Todd, Shamar, Ryder, and other good friends sat here drinking and chatting. Since Todd had his son and daughter, it gave him a heady pleasure. He was telling Shamar and the others about his romance with Jocelyn. "What? You suddenly have a pair of children, a pigeon pair? You lucky dog!" Shamar thought it was too incredible. On the night five years ago, Todd and Calvin were both drugged and had sex with a woman. Calvin was lucky enough to get his son Sean back, but now Todd also got a pair of children easily. Who could believe it? "I am sure lucky! You don¡¯t know how lovely my son and daughter are! Anyway, you childless people don''t understand the fun of being a father!" Todd said to show off. Meanwhile, Calvin looked extremely gloomy on the single sofa. Calvin was drinking. To be exact, he was drinking unhappily. Todd was showing off his wife, son, and daughter, but Jocelyn was Calvin¡¯s nominal wife. The rtionship was chaotic. Ryder looked envious and said, "God, you guys became fathers so soon. Shamar and I are too shocked. No way! I will go to the hotel for a night''s sleep, and I will go to find a woman!" "OK! Let''s bet! I got the drug. You must go tonight!" Shamar patted a bag of powder on the table. "I''m just joking. Don''t take it seriously! Let''s still be single!" Ryder admitted that he couldn''t do the one night thing. At this moment, Todd''s phone rang. He looked at the screen and found it was Jeffrey who called. He quickly raised his finger and motioned to those people to close their mouths. "Don''t talk! My son called!" ... Chapter 22 A Guy Who Puts Love Before Friendship Chapter 22 A Guy Who Puts Love Before Friendship Chapter 22 A Guy Who Puts Love Before Friendship Several people made a sound scornfully. Then Todd answered the phone very ostentatiously and also opened the handsfree. "Hello? Jeffrey! You miss daddy, don''t you?" Ryder, Shamar, and the others all squinted at him. Everyone thought Todd deserved to be beaten! Jeffrey''s childish voice sounded. "Daddy, what are you doing? Tell you one thing, mommy is injured. Come and see her quickly!" "What? Is Mommy injured?" As soon as Todd heard this, he bounced up from the sofa. "How did she get hurt? Where is she now?" Jeffrey said the address. Ryder, Shamar, and the others looked surprised. Why were Todd''s wife and children at Calvin''s house? Several people looked at Calvin at the same time and found that Calvin''s appearance made others feel scared. It was horrible! "Well, well, well. I will be right away. Wait for me!" Todd hung up the phone, got up immediately, picked up his coat and car key, and went out. "Drink yourselves. I''ll go first." "Hey, you can''t just leave now!" Shamar shouted and couldn''t stop Todd. Ryderined, "See? A typical guy who puts love before friendship!" After Todd left, Shamar and the others continued to find Calvin to drink, but Calvin''s mobile phone received an SOS distress signal from his son. Calvin, who was worried about having no excuse to go back, immediately got up and picked up his coat, and went out. Seeing Calvin leaving, Shamar asked curiously, "s, Calvin, why did you also leave?" "My son is looking for me." Calvin left the box quickly. Outside Club Rapture, Todd had just started the engine. Calvin opened the rear door and got on. Todd saw hime up and asked curiously, "Calvin, why did youe out?" "Don''t talk nonsense! Drive quickly!" Calvin didn''t know how badly Jocelyn was injured. Now he just wanted to go back and have a look. ... In the bathroom, Jocelyn was treating the wound by herself. Before long, she found a small head emerging from the door in the mirror. Jocelyn looked back and said, "Sean? What''s up?" As for Calvin''s son, Jocelyn was not familiar with him and had littlemunication with him. She was extremely cautious when getting along with him, for fear that he would be sensitive. At this time, Sean came to her alone. Was there any problem? Sean didn''t speak. He walked straight in, reached out to her, and handed her something. Jocelyn looked down and saw that it was a band-aid with cartoon patterns. Knowing that she was injured, Sean came to give her a band-aid? Looking at the band-aid in Sean''s hand, Jocelyn suddenly felt moved and a little sorry. She squatted down, smiled, and said, "Are you worried about me? Are you sending me a band-aid especially? Thank you! Sean, you''re so considerate!" Jocelyn took the band-aid, touched his small face, and stared at him carefully for a while. Sean was not used to being touched by others, but he found that he didn''t hate her touching his face. Granny Beatrice secretly told him that Tammy''s and Jeffrey''s mother would also be his mother in the future. He didn''t know what it felt like to have a mother. Was it the feeling that Jocelyn just touched his little face? What a strange feeling! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Sean was shy and embarrassed to stay in Jocelyn''s arms, broke free of her hand, and ran out directly. Looking at the running child, she couldn''t helpughing. It seemed that being a stepmother was not a bad thing. Sean didn''t seem to reject her very much. Besides, Sean really liked Tammy. Maybe it was really possible to cure Sean''s aphasia in the future! After simple cleaning up, Jocelyn changed into a long shirt with a high neckline and sessfully covered her wound. She was going to tidy up her suitcase, but Jeffrey came and pulled her away. "Jeffrey, what are you doing?" "Mommy, stop working and go to bed quickly!" said Jeffrey. "I''m not sleepy!" "You''ll be sleepy. You lie down and have a rest. I will tell you stories." Jeffrey knew that Jocelyn was injured, and now asked her to lie down and take care of her like a little adult. Jocelyn was eventually persuaded by Jeffrey, so could only lie down in the guest bedroom and have a rest. Jeffrey found a small speaker and yed music for her. After a while, Tammy came in and brought a ss of milk and some diced fruit. "Mommy, I''ll feed you to drink and eat. You can only sleep when you are full." Jocelyn drank the milk sent by Tammy, ate the diced fruit, and listened to Jeffrey''s story. To be honest, every time she was injured or sick, it was her happiest moment. Having such a caring pair of children was really the greatest wealth of her life! Maybe the music was too hypnotic. After drinking milk, she really fell asleep soon. Jeffrey saw that Jocelyn was asleep and quietly opened her cor to see that there was arge piece of white gauze under her cor. Jeffrey frowned and muttered, "Daddy will be distressed if he sees Mommy injured." "Jeffrey, I will go outside to see if Daddy hase!" Tammy finished and ran away. ... The luxury car galloped on the road. Todd drove all the way to Fallcastle. Todd was thinking about Jocelyn. After getting off, he ran directly to the gate of Fallcastle without saying a word. Calvin looked at Todd''s nervous appearance and took a deep breath. He thought Todd really regarded Fallcastle as his own home. Tammy, waiting at the door, finally saw Daddying and ran out happily to greet him. "Daddy! Daddy..." "Tammy!" When Todd saw Tammy running, he opened his arms and hugged her. Calvin, who followed Todd, felt strange when he saw the little girl throw herself into Todd''s arms. Calvin increasingly hated him. "How is Mommy?" "She is asleep now." "Go, take me to see her!" Todd took Tammy by the hand and walked towards the vi. Calvin looked at their back with a complex expression. Upstairs, Todd came to the door of the guest bedroom and saw the woman lying on the bed. He was about to go in. Calvin stopped him. "She is asleep. Don''t go in and disturb her!" Todd raised his eyebrow and looked at Calvin in surprise. "Calvin, my wife is injured. Can''t I go in and have a look?" Despite the obstruction, Todd insisted on going in. Meanwhile, Calvin looked furious. In the room, Jocelyn was deeply asleep. Todd came in quietly and saw Jeffrey next to her. Todd whispered, "Jeffrey, where did Mommy get hurt?" Jeffrey stretched out his small hand and pulled open Jocelyn''s cor to show him. Todd saw a piece of white gauze and suddenly frowned deeply. He thought that Jocelyn was really injured! Should she be sent to the hospital since she was so badly injured? ... Chapter 23 Jocelyn Is Now My Woman Chapter 23 Jocelyn Is Now My Woman Chapter 23 Jocelyn Is Now My Woman Todd was thinking about what to do when his mobile phone suddenly rang. In order not to disturb Jocelyn, he had to go outside to answer the phone first. After answering the phone call, Todd ran to Calvin nervously and said, "Calvin, please take care of Jocelyn for me. I have urgent matters to deal with now!" Todd said that and left the Austin family in a hurry. Calvin looked at his running figure and had a smile lightly. He wouldn''t tell Todd that he arranged for someone to make the call just now. He couldn''t think of any good way to keep Todd away from Jocelyn, so he could only do this. Sorry, Calvin. Jocelyn was my woman now! Calvin thought. After Calvin entered the guest room, he asked Tammy and Jeffrey to go and y with Sean. Jeffrey looked fierce, asking, "Calvin, where is my Daddy?" "Todd has something urgent. He asked me to take care of Jocelyn. You guys go out first!" "But..." Jeffrey always didn''t trust Calvin. What if Calvin bullied Mommy? He thought. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g When Tammy saw that Jeffrey didn''t leave, she reached out and pulled him out. "Jeffrey, let''s go! Daddy will take care of Mommy, too." Jeffrey was still muttering when he was pulled out of the room, "He is not our real daddy. Do you really take him as our daddy?" "I like Calvin to be our daddy! Calvin and Todd are the same!" Listening to the conversation between the two little guys, Calvin was surprised. It seemed that Tammy epted him, but Jeffrey still rejected him. The room yed soft music, the curtain was pulled, and a small night light was lit. The atmosphere was very good. In the soft light, Calvin saw the woman sleeping on the bed, with a quiet face. Her fair skin was as tender as a baby''s and her pink lips emitted attractive luster. There was a faint smell of medicine in the air. Calvin looked at her neckline and narrowed his eyes slightly. Jocelyn slept soundly until she felt that someone was touching her clothes. There was a sound of cloth breaking. Jocelyn woke up and didn''t see the situation clearly. It was almost instinctive defense, so she punched. She happened to hit Calvin''s handsome face. "Well..." Calvin felt depressed. Damned it. She hit me so hard. He thought. Jocelyn opened her eyes and found that she just hit Calvin. She was shocked. How could it be Calvin? She thought. Calvin rubbed the beaten cheek and turned back. He looked at Jocelyn with his cold eyes, making her feel serious, dangerous, and intimidating. She was scared to death. It was over. I made a great mistake. She thought. She even hit Calvin! "I''m sorry, Mr. Austin. I didn''t mean it... I didn''t know it was you just now. I thought there was a sneak attack, so I..." Jocelyn quickly apologized. She was really sorry. She admitted that she was defensive and aggressive. Calvin took a deep breath. He was already depressed, but now he was gloomier. No one dared to disrespect him, but Jocelyn was so bold that she hit his handsome face with her fist! Calvin stopped being polite to her and directly pressed her arm. There was a wine smell from him. She thought he wanted to vent on her after drinking. Jocelyn pushed him away in fear. "Hey! Mr. Austin! What are you doing? Don''t mess around! Didn''t we agree not to perform our obligations as a married couple?" Calvin red at her and was confused. What was the mess she thought all day? He thought. Did he look so lustful? Calvin didn''t talk nonsense to her and pulled her cor open, but Jocelyn screamed, "No, Mr. Austin!" Did Calvin want her? Jocelyn, please stop narcissism! Finally, he could see the gauze on her vicle. He looked serious. "What''s going on here?" "Huh? Oh! It''s all right. I fell identally." Jocelyn finally reacted, relieved that Calvin was onlying to see her wound, not to do anything to her. In fact, she thought too much. "Are you mentally retarded? Can you fall here? Show me again!" Calvin nced at her angrily and said with sarcasm. Even if she made excuses, please be smart. She talked as if he was a fool. Looking at Calvin''s deep and sharp eyes, Jocelyn couldn''t hide her true mind. He was powerful and could see through her lies at a nce. If she continued lying in front of him, she would be taught a lesson. Therefore, Jocelyn could only answer truthfully, "Well, it''s not a fall. I went out today and met Ernest''s subordinates." "I have asked Marcus to follow you. Didn''t he protect you?" Calvin had arranged for the most capable staff to protect her personally. How could anyone hurt her? "No, it has nothing to do with Marcus. I didn''t let him follow me." Jocelyn blinked her watery eyes, stared at Calvin''s cold and handsome face, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Austin, are you here to see my injury? Are you concerned about me?" "You think too much!" Calvin shouted and left the bedroom with a cold face. Was Calvin angry? She thought. Was he angry that she just hit his handsome face? Jocelyn was ready to get up to have a look, but before the buttons on the clothes had been buttoned, he came back and had a medicine box in his hand. Calvin went back to her and pulled the button again rudely. She could not helpining, "Hey, Mr. Austin, my clothes have been damaged by you!" She really wanted to ask if he had a grudge against her clothes. Was it hard to be gentle? Calvin did not say a word. He calmly helped her deal with the wound and opened it again. She shrank back in pain. "Hiss..." "Don''t move!" Calvin pressed her and began to disinfect her again. The process of disinfection was too painful. She''d rather hide. "Mr. Austin, don''t bother. I have already treated my wound myself. You don''t need to do it anymore." "Is it all right?" Calvin had a disdainful look. He had never seen a woman who was more careless than her. She didn''t take her body seriously at all. She was injured in the vicle, which was close to the artery. If the wound was not handled properly, it was easy to cause infection. But then again, Calvin had not done such a thing for others besides taking care of his son Sean. His technique was unskillful. For example, when disinfecting, he rubbed the wound with an iodophor cotton ball hard, which made her extremely painful. "Ah... It hurts, hurts, hurts... It hurts much, Mr. Austin... Would you please be gentle?" Jocelyn felt like she was being destroyed! Her face turned pale with pain and cold sweat came out, but Calvin was indifferent. His every action was very rude. As long as he thought of the tangled rtionship between her and Todd, his mind would go crazy. "Can''t you stand this pain? You are so delicate!" Shit, who was spoiled? She thought. If you tried, I promised it would kill you. ... Chapter 24 Being Thrown Into An Awkward Situation By Calvin Chapter 24 Being Thrown Into An Awkward Situation By Calvin Chapter 24 Being embarrassed by Calvin The more she cried out in pain, the less merciful Calvin would be. Jocelyn felt as if she was being tortured, "Hey, don''t do it that hard... It hurts. Bastard... Be gentle..." It hurt so much that her tears trickled down. She couldn''t help but curse all his ancestors. At this time, hearing the voices in the room, Beatrice and the housekeeper Dustin outside the door stared at each other. Beatrice suddenly smiled, and waved to Dustin, "Let''s go! Leave them alone." Dustin apanied Beatrice downstairs and said, "Madam, it seems that by the end of the year, you are really expected to have another grandchild!" "Yes! If they have another child, the children will get along better!" "Yes, Jocelyn must be Mr. Austin¡¯s lucky star!" "Yes, of course!" If Jocelyn had known what they thought, she would probably not shout so loud! Jocelyn was thrown into an awkward situation by Calvin. This man was so domineering and rough! Calvin finally helped her treat the wound. Although his skill of bandaging a wound was not much better than hers, at least he could ensure that her cut would not be infected. Jocelyn had a grudge against his "rough" methods and was very angry. She neither wanted to see him, nor thank him, so she showed him the door, "Mr. Austin, I am going to change clothes, please leave the room." Calvin packed up the medicine box and left the room without saying anything. He went directly to the study and immediately notified Marcus toe in for he wanted to find out what happened. On entering the study, Marcus felt an air of low pressure. The air in the room seemed to be condensed. Everything indicated that Mr. Austin was in a bad mood. Marcus quietly wiped off his sweat and said, "Mr. Austin!" Austin stared at him coldly, "Marcus, how long have you worked for me? Do you know the rules? How should you conceal what you know!" "I''m sorry, Mr. Austin, it''s my negligence!" Marcus hurriedly apologized. "Give me an exnation." Calvin treated him like a brother. He entrusted Jocelyn to Marcus due to trust, and he didn''t want them to hide anything from him. Marcus was as loyal as Craig, and he didn''t dare to deliberately deceive him, so he told Calvin the truth, "Mr. Austin, Ms. Austin doesn¡¯t allow me to tell..." Calvin smashed the ashtray angrily after hearing the answer, "Don''t forget who is your master! From now on, report to me everything rted to Jocelyn. Do you understand?" "I understand." Calvin''s anger melted a little, and he said coldly, "This must never happen again!" "Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Austin." Marcus told Calvin everything that happened during the day, including where Jocelyn went, who she met, and what happened to her. After Calvin understood what happened, his face turned even colder, "Teach Ernest a lesson!" "Yes!" Coming out of the study, Marcus'' back was drenched by cold sweat. He was so scared! Mr. Austin had a horrible temper than before. Fortunately, he was only scolded by Calvin, and was not exiled to Africa. ... At night, Calvin came to the guest bedroom, but he didn''t find Jocelyn. He thought that she might go outside. With a passing nce, he saw a figure on the balcony. Jocelyn sat alone on the sofa, looking at the deep night. Her slender back seemed a little lonely. What was she thinking? Was she thinking about Ernest? Calvin knew that Jocelyn had a rtionship with Ernest five years ago, but after she announced her withdrawal from the public life five years ago, Ernest announced his love affair with Theresa, a female artist in hispany. Marcus said that she went to Icehive Entertainment''s new filmunch conference and messed up Ernest''s press conference. He then thought of her messing up Ernest''s engagement a few days ago. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Calvin wondered why Jocelyn still tried to sabotage Ernest''s affairs since things between them had ended long ago. Calvin couldn¡¯t figure it out. At the thought of Jocelyn¡¯s affair with Ernest in the past, Calvin somehow felt a little ufortable. Calvin consoled himself that Jocelyn must not be thinking of other man. She was probably missing her mother. Marcus also said that today she went to the cemetery for her mother¡¯s memorial. Calvin had read her documents and knew that today was the anniversary of her mother''s death. She must be in a bad mood for this reason! Originally, ACalvin wanted to ignore this woman, but he walked over involuntarily and sat down beside her finally with his eyes on her. It stopped raining, but the twilight was still dusky. They overlooked the night view of the city. The shing neon lights were like thousands of bright stars, and the dark and deep night sky reflected the brilliance of the neon lights. Jocelyn looked at the beautiful night, cherishing and meditating quietly in her mind. On this day every year, she was used to hiding in a corner alone, like a wounded little animal, licking her wounds by herself. But tonight, Calvin broke her tranquility. "You sabotaged Icehive Entertainment¡¯s press conference. Aren¡¯t you afraid that Ernset will retaliate against you?" Jocelyn frowned slightly. Would she be afraid of Ernset''s revenge? She would let that man know that she came back to take revenge on him! "If you beg me, I will help you out!" Calvin had his own way of handling things. It was easy for him to punish a person or apany. If he wanted to help her, would he still need her to beg him? Jocelyn turned around and looked at Calvin expressionlessly. This man definitely had the capital to be proud of. He had an iparably handsome appearance and a unique family background. He was like a high-ranking king, waiting for her to prostrate at his feet and bow down. However, she didn''t need his help for the time being. She had her own means to deal with Ernest. "No, thank you." Jocelyn declined politely. "A woman who never gives in has no good end!" Calvin kindly reminded that as long as she had a better attitude and a little more obedience, he could help her deal with it easily. Jocelyn didn''t answer. She picked up the can of beer on the table and took a sip. Then she handed it to Calvin, "Mr. Austin, do you want to drink?" "No." Calvin frowned. How could he drink what others had drunk? "Mr. Austin, I invite you to drink the beer I have drunk, and you refuse without hesitation. Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you. Likewise, I don''t need you to help me out." Jocelyn chuckled, took another mouthful of beer and added, "I have to make one point clear in advance! Part of the reason why I marry you is that I want to ride on your coattails. Both my children and I are safe with you." .... Chapter 25 Uncle And Mommy Are So Much In Love Chapter 25 Uncle And Mommy Are So Much In Love Chapter 25 Uncle And Mommy Are So Much In Love "Mr. Austin, as for you, you just want a nominal wife and find a stepmother for your son." "One is a refuge and the other is a temporary stepmother. We are just in a mutually beneficial partnership. "I won''t interfere with you, so please don''t interfere with me. I will work to solve the trouble I run into. "I will let those who have bullied me and owed me pay for it on my own merit!" "Please don''t interfere with me when I don''t ask for your help, thank you! "And I just want to be alone now. Sorry, please don''t bother me, okay?" After Jocelyn finished speaking, she ignored him and looked into the distance. Calvin was embarrassed and took a deep breath. It was the first time that he had met a woman of a strong character like her in his life. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. She was clearly in trouble and hade to a dead end, but she still stubbornly refused to give in. However, her stubbornness and dignity made one can''t help but admire. Calvin left the balcony directly without saying anything. Jocelyn knew that he was gone, so she didn''t look back. She hugged her knees and looked into the distance, lost in thoughts. But after a while, she found that Calvin returned again. This time he didn''te empty-handed, but brought arge jar of beer, and put them all in front of her. Jocelyn turned to look at him, but he didn''t look at her. He picked up a can of beer, opened it and drank quietly. No one spoke. They just drank wine quietly, watching the deep night together in the distance. Suddenly, a bright light spot floated up, slowly rising, and another one. More and more light spots floated up one after another. Fireworks! Jocelyn was surprised to find that someone was letting out fireworks at the foot of the mountain. There were more and more fireworks in the night sky. The originally dark night sky became bright due to numerous fireworks. Seeing the beautiful scene in front of her eyes, Jocelyn put her hands together subconsciously and began to wish in her mind. She hoped that with the help of fireworks, her mother who was far away in the heaven would know that her daughter missed her. When Jocelyn made a wish, Calvin secretly watched her pious appearance. Under the light of fireworks, Jocelyn''s face was bright and beautiful, as beautiful as an intriguing ancient painting. And this moment, Calvin had a thought that he wanted to keep this painting as a treasure. He thought he must be crazy! After making a wish, Jocelyn continued to drink. After drinking a few cans of beer, her brain was a little dizzy and she was drunk. In fact, she could carry her drink, but she had a shoring: she couldn''t drink when she was in a bad mood for she would easily get drunk. When she was drunk, she liked to chatter a lot. "You must know about me and Ernest... five years ago... I have a rtionship with him ..." Jocelyn tilted her head and looked at Calvin, treating him as someone to confide in Her long ck hair rested on her cheeks, and the night wind blew her hair. Her beautiful eyes were full of drunkenness, charming. But her emotions were out of control, and her voice was a little angry."...but so what...if you were me...you were betrayed by the person you trust most...what would you do... "You wished you could kill him yourself...dig out his family''s ancestral grave...smash his corpse into thousands of pieces...destroy the bones...spread ashes...and that is not enough to vent my hatred..." He could hear that what she said was from the bottom of her mind, and he could also find some reasons from her drunken words. Was it because Ernest betrayed her first, so she took revenge on him again and again? "Five years is nothing...I''m still young...I still have a lifetime...to fight with him...if he should take revenge on me, I...would...keep him apany to the end..." Jocelyn was drunk. Her head uncontrobly leaned on Calvin''s shoulder. She mumbled a few words but Calvin couldn''t make out what she was saying. Hearing these innermost thoughts, Calvin felt she was real and not hypocritical. At the same time he figured out her true purpose of returning back from abroad. She came back to take revenge on Ernest. If it wasn''t because he identally found Tammy, otherwise, there would be no intersection between them. Looking down at the woman who cked out, Calvin wanted to push her away, but somehow tolerated her. Looking into the distance, Calvin drank beer alone. His state of mind seemed to change slightly. The feeling of being relied on by a woman for the first time in his life was amazing, and a trace of imperceptible satisfaction surged up in his heart. The most surprising thing was that he had heterosexual contact allergies. When other women approached him normally, he could''t help sneezing. In severe cases, he would be allergic and came out in a rash. Especially women wearing an overpowering perfume would make him suffer from shock. But Jocelyn was an exception, because he was not allergic to her. How strange! On a quiet night, the couple on the balcony lived in peace. The three children sneaked into the room, and they all saw the scene in front of them. Tammy saw Mommy leaning on uncle''s shoulder, and felt they were very much in love! It was absolutely right that uncle should be their daddy! Seeing his father sitting with that woman, Sean felt a little strange in his mind. Would she live in their house in the future? He would have a Mommy, a brother and a sister, right? Only Jeffrey frowned, what he wanted was that Mommy stay with his biological father, not other men. Only he knew that Mommy took Mr. Austin''s money, but he was so worried that Mommy would do it seriously! Although he didn''t really want Mommy and Mr. Austin to be together, the three children still left quietly without disturbing them. ... At this time, Ernest appeared with injuries all over his body in the CEO''s office of Icehive Entertainment. Theresa eximed, "Ah, Ernest, what''s wrong with you? Howe?" "I was beaten. I was in the underground garage just now." Ernest fell on the sofa, clutching his bleeding nostrils. He was really unlucky. In order to avoid the paparazzi and reporters outside thepany, he took the road from the underground parking lot. But he didn''t expect that as soon as he arrived at the underground parking lot, someone covered his head with a ck cloth bag and beaten up on him. His was beaten ck and blue in the face. He fell to the ground and couldn''t get up. When he struggled to get out of the bag, there was no one around him, and he didn''t even see clearly who attacked him. "Who did it? Hurry up and call the police!" Theresa said, much distressed. .... Chapter 26 Inexplicable Attraction Chapter 26 Inexplicable Attraction Chapter 26 Inexplicable Attraction "Don''t call the police. Now Icehive has had enough trouble." Ernest stopped Theresa from calling. Thinking of the press conference, he asked, "How is the matter going now?" Jocelyn suddenly came up today and left after ruining the press conference. He chased her with some men. Not only didn''t they get her, but also he almost destroyed by her. In addition, what she said at the press conference had had a very serious impact. All the media were reporting the news of the ident at the press conference. Up to now, there were still lots of reporters outside the Icehive building, waiting for the exnation from Icehive. Theresa was dealing with Ernest''s wounds. She sighed, "Ernest, what should we do now? I thought it was just likest time at the engagement ceremony. Why is she that powerful? How can she do those?" "She was not powerful at all. I doubt that there is someone in Icehive helping her. Otherwise, those videos wouldn''t be exposed." "Who would that be?" "I''m looking into that. But the biggest concern now is how to recover the credit crisis this time. The situation is so tough for us. We have no choice but to find out Jocelyn and negotiate with her!" "Glenna sent me a message saying that she had met her in the mall before, but I don''t know where she is now." "Keep in touch with Glenna. I don''t believe that she will not return to the Murray family aftering back. As long as she goes to the Murray family, I''ll catch her!" At that moment, there was a knock at the door in the office. Ernest saide in, and then Veronica appeared at the door, "Mr. Cloutier, are you looking for me?" "Yes, Ms. Gaspar,e in. I have something to ask you." Ernest called Veronica in. Veronica walked in. She nced at Ernest and Theresa. Both of them looked not very good. "You used to be Jocelyn''s agent. Has she contacted you aftering back?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Ernest stared at her eyes and asked. There had been two idents. He thought that there must be an inside man. But whether that was Veronica or not needed to be confirmed. And he also wanted to know where Jocelyn was. "No. She hasn''te to me, and I don''t have her phone number. I wanted to ask her what her n was aftering back and why did she fight against you. But she didn''t contact me." Veronica said it calmly without blinking or feeling guilty. Ernest stared at her for a while, then felt relieved. "If she contacts you, you must tell me in time. I have something very important to tell her." Ernest told her. " Got it, Mr. Cloutier. Is there anything else?" "No, you can leave work now!" Veronica left the office and closed the door. When turned around, she gave a cold hiss. "Stupid man and bitch, I won''t tell you it was me who helped Jocelyn did all those. So what?" She thought. You did so many dirty things. God wouldn''t help you!" ... After finishing everything, Todd hurried to Fallcastle to see Jocelyn, but was stopped by the guard. "Hey! Look who I am. Are you stopping me?" Todd was a little angry. Everything was not going well today. First, he received a phone call from his home saying that his grandpa''s condition was not good. He hurried back. Then a lot of things happened to thepany. He had been busy all day. Now he had finished everything and wanted to see Jocelyn. But he was not allowed to go in. How absurd! "Sorry, Mr. Garner. This is the order of Mr. Austin. He asked you to go back today. If there is anything,e tomorrow." The guard told him. "Oh, no, what does he mean? I''m his cousin. How can he not let me in?" Todd thought Calvin was a little unreasonable today. Why couldn''t he go in? He wanted to see his wife! How could he rest assured before seeing her? "Sorry, this is the order of Mr. Austin. You can call him and ask him directly." "OK!" Todd called Calvin. After the phone was answered, heined, "Calvin, let them open the door and let me in! How can you stop me from going in?" "It''s toote. Go back first! Come tomorrow!" Calvin said without any expression. He looked down at Jocelyn who was leaned on his shoulder and sleeping. He didn''t want Todd to destroy the atmosphere now. "How is my wife? Is she seriously injured? I haven''t seen her yet! How can I go back?" Todd cried. "She''s all right. She''s already asleep. That''s it!" Calvin hung up the phone directly. Todd was full of sulks. How could Calvin be so unreasonable? Did he take Jocelyn as his wife? How could he didn''t let him see her! He was so depressed! Todd didn''t give up and called Jocelyn, but her phone was off. So he could only call his son. Jeffery answered the phone and asked angrily, "Daddy, where have you been today? Why didn''t youe to see mommy?" "I''m sorry, son. Daddy has something to deal with. Now daddy is here, but I can''t go in. How is your mommy now? Is she better?" "Daddy, mommy is better, but Mr. Austin was strange. He doesn''t look like a serious man. I''m so worried that he will bully mommy!" Jefferyined to Todd. Todd was anxious after hearing that. But he thought about it. He knew Calvin. He didn''t like women and had never been close to any woman. It was impossible for him to do anything to Jocelyn. It should be exaggerated by the little guy. "Don''t worry, Mr. Austin is not that kind of person. I''ll see you tomorrow." Todd trusted Calvin. He absolutely believed that Calvin wouldn''t bully Jocelyn. After a long time, Calvin had seen enough of the night and was about to enter the room. However, he was sad to find that the consequence of indulging her to lean on him was that he had to keep a posture and stay still, resulting in the numbness of his half shoulder. Oh... Women were really troublesome! Calvin pushed her head away slightly, but she fell into his arms again. Damn! Looking at the sleeping woman, Calvin was at a loss. Worried about her wound, he hesitated for a while before reaching out to hold her in his arms and took her back to the room. When putting her on the bed, his leg was identally tripped by the edge of the bed. And he fell down. His lips touched Jocelyn''s soft lips. Calvin stared with surprise, as if there was an electric current all over his body. He wanted to get up, but an inexplicable attraction stopped him and made him unable to help but sank more. ... Chapter 27 He Was Not That Kind of Person Chapter 27 He Was Not That Kind of Person Chapter 27 He Was Not That Kind of Person Jocelyn was almost out of breath and cried out. Calvin then realized what he was doing and soon got up in panic. What was he doing just now? He must be crazy! Left Jocelyn on the bed, Calvin ran out of the room. It seemed that he had to take a cold shower tonight. ... Jocelyn had a long and deep sleep. After getting up in the morning, she was full of energy. She turned on the phone first, and then went to wash up. Soon, her phone rang. It was Katie. Jocelyn answered the phone, "Hello?" "Jocelyn, look at the entertainment section of NCC News! Today''s news is super great!" After hanging up, Jocelyn opened NCC News and checked thetest new today. The entertainment section was very rich and interesting, and the most interesting one was the headline of Icehive. The headline came into her eyes: Apologizing Statement of The New Film Release Conference from The President of Icehive. She clicked on it. It was an apology video released on the official website of Icehive. Ernest expressed his sincere apology to the camera, and he also admitted that there were some problems during the operation process of The Phoenix Queen, which resulted in the dy of release. In addition, he announced a message as the producer of the new film that the copyright of The Phoenix Queen would be auctioned. And the auction time would be announced on the official website. Obviously, because of Jocelyn, the problems inside Icehive and about the new film had spread widely on the Inte. The stock of Icehive had been greatly affected and had a sharp decline. Ernest had no other choices but released the apology video and prevented negative reports from being exposed to the public by money. Anyway, Ernest must be in deep distress. That was what Jocelyn wanted. If he felt painful, she would feel better. After reading the news, she was about to call Veronica and discussed about what to do next. Well, Veronica''s call came at this time. Jocelyn picked up the phone, "Hello, Veronica?" "Jocelyn, you know. Ernest asked me about you yesterday. But I didn''t tell him anything. Did you see the news? Ernest was driven crazy. He ned to auction the copyright of The Phoenix Queen. Now what should we do?" "I''ve seen the news. I was ready to call you to tell you my next n. I must get the copyright of The Phoenix Queen!" N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Five years ago, it was Jocelyn''s idea to choose the film The Phoenix Queen. She was the heroine selected at that time. Thepany got the right to adapt the novel IP, and she participated in the adaptation in person. She almost devoted herself all to the script, but she didn''t expect that Theresa enjoyed the fruit finally. She knew that Ernest hoped to make Theresa win the Best Actress Award by this film, and also wanted to make Icehive be one of the top entertainmentpanies. He wanted it very much, but Jocelyn would definitely not let it happen. Since she couldn''t be part of the film, she wouldn''t let Ernest and Theresa realize their stupid dream. Jocelyn wanted to win the copyright, but it was not that easy. Veronica pointed out the most important thing, "Jocelyn, you want to get the copyright. That''s okay. But to get the copyright must need arge amount of money. Are you sure you won''t have problems with the money?" "I will try my best. Please help me find out the details of the auction first, and then I''ll call you again." Jocelyn had got the source. She thought as long as she could get the copyright, she would be the major producer of The Phoenix Queen. Therefore, the top priority was to find ways to raise enough funds. Where could she get the money? The face of Calvin suddenly came to her mind. The agreement between them was worth 12 million dors! However, the agreement didn''t expire, and she didn''t get any money! How about negotiating with Calvin? Would he agree? She remembered that she told him not to interfere in her affairs and that she wouldn''t ask for his help. The words were just like spilled water that couldn''t be taken back. Jocelyn was so upset. Why did she say that? She would have solve the problem by asking for Calvin''s help. No! She was really silly! However, Jocelyn soon thought of another approach. She remembered that her grandfather had left her shares which were under the care of thewyer. As long as she could get back the share contract from thewyer, she would get a lot of money. In addition, Jocelyn nned to go back to the Murray family to find her pocket watch. She noticed the news that Calvin was offering a reward of 20 million dors to find an antique pocket watch. If her watch was the one that he was looking for, she would get that 20 million dors! After making the decision, Jocelyn began to pack up. She opened the curtains and noticed the beer cans on the balcony which reminded her the scene of drinking beer with Calvin. How weird! She drank with Calvin. God, it was so unbelievable! Jocelyn changed the clothes. She chose a thin shawl to cover her wound. Jocelyn went to kids'' room first. She opened the door of Jeffrey and Tammy''s room, but found that they were not in the room. When passing by Sean''s room, she heard the voice of Tammy. Opened the door, she saw Tammy bouncing around in the room joyfully. Tammy noticed Jocelyn. She said cheerfully, "Mommy mommy! I''m ying with Sean." "Well, what about your brother?" "He''s out!" In fact, Jeffery was unpleasant when seeing his sister was so close to Sean, so he went out. Tammy ran over and hugged her leg, looked up and asked, "Mommy, did you sleep wellst night?" "Yeah, how about you?" Jocelyn touched her pretty face and asked. "I slept so well!" Tammy asked again, "Mommy, did you see many bright lightsst night?" "Well, yeah!" "You do not know that those were arranged by dad, do you?" Tammy said. "What? What dad? You mean your daddy?" "No! Daddy is daddy. Dad is dad. Mr. Austin is dad!" Tammy was clear about that. Jocelyn was shocked. She didn''t expect that the romantic scenest night was made for her by Calvin! How could that be possible? He didn''t look like that kind of person at all! "Dad said that yesterday was grandma''s death day, so he let someone set the fireworks." Tammy continued. Jocelyn was really shocked. Yesterday was her mother''s death day, but she didn''t tell anyone. How did Calvin know? Was it Marcus? ... Chapter 28 He Was Rude and Overbearing Chapter 28 He Was Rude and Overbearing Chapter 28 He Was Rude and Overbearing She spent her mother''s death day alone every year. But yesterday, Calvin spent it with her in that way. She made wishes to the fireworks. God... Jocelyn had aplex feeling. She was so touched that she didn''t know what to say. Thinking ofst night, she didn''t talk to him with a good attitude. She even got angry with him and med him for being rude and overbearing. But now... Jocelyn sighed softly, walked in with Tammy and saw Sean drawing quietly. She was amazed to find that Sean was a child genius in painting! His paintings were very interesting, beautiful and imaginative. They could be put on disy! Looking at the picture which the little guy was drawing now, Jocelyn recognized that it was the scene on the windowsill. A woman leaned on a man''s shoulder. There were many bright lights floating in the dark night. Those were fireworks. Thinking ofst night''s drinking with Calvin, Jocelyn blushed with embarrassment. Did she lean on Calvin''s shoulderst night? Ouch, she really did that to Calvin? And that was seen by the kids? Jocelyn noticed that there were many paintings in Sean''s room. Some of them were folded into paper nes and broken. What a pity. She spread out the paintings one by one and said in amazement, "Wow, are these all paintings by Sean? How wonderful you are!" Sean turned to look at Jocelyn. Hearing Jocelyn praised him for his good painting, he felt a little delighted. "Sean, you are really a genius! Don''t you want all these paintings? Can you give them to me?" Jocelyn took the paintings and asked in surprise. Sean nodded. He drew every day and drew lots of paintings, many of which were thrown away as waste paper. If Jocelyn liked them, she could take them all. "Well, well, I''ll help you keep them!" Looked at these paintings, Jocelyn''s eyes were shining with lights. She could see the painting potential of Sean as well as the value of these paintings. If she could sell these paintings out, she could get much money! Jocelyn collected Sean''s paintings and took the two kids downstairs. When she came to the dining room, she saw Calvin in a straight suit sitting at the table, reading the newspaper. Jeffery just came back. Jocelyn called him to have breakfast. Seeing them were all here, Beatrice asked the servant to set the table. After sitting down, Jocelyn nced at Calvin. He was wearing a dark handmade suit, which made him look elegant and noble. With a cold face and deep eyes, he looked indifferent and distant. Jocelyn didn''t know what he was thinking. She would rather say thanks to him. But the atmosphere was not that appropriate, she just had breakfast quietly with her head down. Beatrice asked someone to bring up the specially prepared soup and put it in front of Calvin. Calvin looked at the soup and asked, "Mom, what is this?" Beatrice exined with a smile, "This is the tonic soup that I asked someone to cook for you. You must be tired afterst night. You''ll need it." Oh no... Hearing this, Jocelyn almost sprayed the milk she was drinking. She wanted to ask if she had misunderstood something. Last night she just drank and chatted with Calvin but nothing else! Calvin''s face turned red somehow. He nced at Jocelyn subconsciously. He wanted to asked his mother what she was doing. Did he seem to need that kind of thing? Besides, they did nothing but drankst night. How could he be so tired? Jocelyn''s face turned red too. She nced at Calvin and found he was looking at her too. Both of them looked away embarrassedly. "Mom, don''t do this again. I don''t need it!" Calvin needed to make it clear to his mother, or it was so awkward for him. Beatrice also believed his son. She nodded, "Well, I know. But when will you two hold the wedding ceremony?" So joyful was Beatrice that she forgot what she said that day and just blurted it out in front of the kids. It was impossible to have a smooth breakfast. Calvin used to be urged by his mother to get married. Now he had got married and turned in his marriage certificate. His mother began to worry about the wedding. Would she ask for a baby after they hold the wedding? Jocelyn was almost choked by her words, and waved, "Mrs. Austin, it''s not that urgent. It''s really not urgent." How depressing. Didn''t they agree on not to tell the kids first? What about the agreed secret marriage? A wedding? "Well, well, well, it''s up to you. Oh, right, Jocelyn. Don''t call me Mrs. Austin. You should call me mom." Beatrice could not urge them to hold a wedding, but she had to obey the basic rules. "Oh, yes, mom..." Jocelyn called Beatrice mom. It was a little awkward. She had not used to it. "Good, good." Beatrice mentioned the wedding. Tammy was so happy for her mother was finally going to marry someone! It was really nice to marry dad! Sean was also a little surprised, but he didn''t say anything. He just took a nce at Ms. Murray and Tammy strangely. If Ms. Murray married to his dad, Tammy would be his sister forever? Jeffrey was the most surprised one. Did mom say they were hired to apany Sean here? Why was his mother going to marry Mr. Austin now? If they get married, what would his daddy do? "Mommy, what''s going on?" Jeffrey asked. Jocelyn forgot that her son was so smart that nothing could be hidden from him. She replied awkwardly, "Jeffery, I''ll exin to youter! Let''s have breakfast first!" Beatrice asked Dustin to take something. She opened it and showed it to Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, since you''re Calvin''s wife now, you''re also the mistress of the Austin family. This is our family heirloom. Now, I will give it to you. Please ept it!" It was an exquisite box containing a pair of imperial green jade bracelets. It must the best jade of high value. Since it was the heirloom of the Austin family, it must be priceless! Oh my god! It was the heirloom! Facing such a valuable gift, Jocelyn wouldn''t take it. She kept waving, "Mrs...Oh no, mom...I can''t take it. It''s so expensive! You''d better keep it yourself!" "How can that be? This treasure was originally passed down from generation to generation by our family. I took it from Calvin''s grandmother and kept it till now. Now that you are married to Calvin, it should be passed on you. Anyway, it will be yours sooner orter. Just take it!" N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ... Chapter 29 It Was Not Her Home Anymore Chapter 29 It Was Not Her Home Anymore Chapter 29 It Was Not Her Home Anymore It was because of Jocelyn''s good quality that Beatrice was determined to give her the family heirloom. She trusted her judgment that Jocelyn would be a good daughter-inw, a good mother, and a good wife. She would not put her faith in the wrong people. Jocelyn knew well the meaning of the family heirloom, which was a recognition of identity and the inheritance of power. And it meant that Beatrice trusted and epted her. But Jocelyn really couldn''t ept it. She felt unworthy of it. After all, her marriage with Calvin was fake, and it was a union of interests. How could she ept the heirloom of the Austin family? Jocelyn looked at Calvin with pleading eyes, hoping that he could say a few words on her behalf and have his mother take it back. But Calvin just said, "Take it since she wants you to have this. Stop being that long-winded!" "..." Come on! Jocelyn was never willing to take it, but they both asked her to keep it! Jocelyn couldn''t say no and finally had to ept Beatrice''s gift. However, from the moment she received the gift, it weighed heavily on her mind. She couldn''t help but think whether Beatrice would be sad when she and Calvin dissolved their marriage in six months and gave this back to her. Jocelyn had to go back to her room with the heirloom in her hand. What was she gonna do with such a hot potato in her hand? It just happened that now she was very short of money. Beatrice suddenly gave her such a valuable thing, which was like giving a fish to a cat. Wasn''t this a test of her humanity? Jocelyn was thinking that if she sold this treasure, she would make a lot of money, which was enough to buy back the copyright of the new film. But... This was the heirloom of the Austin family! Calvin probably would kill her! Jocelyn, in order to keep herself alive, hurriedly perished the thought. She might as well keep this for now and would just figure out what to do with it some other day. Jeffrey appeared in the doorway of the room with a restrained smile. He was very upset. Jocelyn asked her son toe over. Fuming with anger, Jeffrey asked, "Mommy, you''re lying! Didn''t you say that we are getting paid by Mr. Austin? Why did you marry him?" "Oh, son, let me tell you something. Mommy has no choice. If I don''t act like this, how am I gonna get 12 million dors? You can rest assured! Mommy''s marriage with Mr. Austin is just fake!" "I don''t believe it! Mommy, you obviously have a crush on Mr. Austin, right? Did you abandon Daddy because Mr. Austin was better looking than Daddy?" Jeffrey was just a little kid but was as imposing as adults. Being questioned by the little kid, Jocelyn finally had no choice but to say, "Okay, mommy will tell you the truth! Mommy is not attracted to Mr. Austin''s handsome face. Am I not beautiful? Mommy just wants his money! He is so rich. Look at this diamond bracelet. The money from selling this will be enough to support you both for the rest of your lives!" "..." Jeffrey was even angrier and sighed, thinking that his mommy was money-obsessed! She even abandoned their own father! Poor daddy! "Is it really just for six months?" Jeffrey asked uneasily. "Of course. The agreement ends in six months, and mommy will take you and Tammy to your daddy. There''s no downside for us anyway. We now live in a nice big house and have tasty food every day. You can see your daddy as often as you want. How about you think of it as a vacation?" Jocelyn continued to soften him up a bit. If Jeffrey was not cooperative and told Beatrice about it, she would not get 12 million dors... Although Jeffrey didn''t really want to agree with his mommy, he couldn''t ruin her mommy''s n, either. Since his mommy wanted to stay for the money, Jeffrey could only y along with her and had to barely stay here for six months. He hoped that his mommy was really just after Mr. Austin''s money! Jocelyn had to go out to do something after calming her son down. Marcus had a car ready for her outside the house and continued to be her bodyguard. The car slowly drove out of the gate of Fallcastle. Jocelyn noticed a car parked near the Fallcastle, and it looked a little familiar. She got a message on her cell phone, so she withdrew her gaze. The message was from Veronica, and she told Jocelyn the exact time and location of the auction. Three dayster. At Mermaidshine, Pailworth. Jocelyn knew that she had only three days to raise money, or look for funding sources that would help her buy the copyright at auction, or find investors she could work with. The first step of her n was to go back to the Murray family to find a pocket watch. She heard that the Plexis Group owned by the Austin family offered a reward of 20 million dors for a pocket watch. If the pocket watch she got five years ago was worth 20 million dors, she would be rich! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g After Jocelyn left, Todd, who was waiting in the car, woke up in a daze. Calvin wouldn''t let him in the housest night, and he didn''t want to leave, so he spent the night in the car. The sound of a car engine just woke him up. He opened his eyes and moved his numb legs before opening the door and getting out of the car. When Todd came to the gate of Fallcastle, he ran into Calvin, who was on his way out of the house, and Todd stopped him, "Calvin!" "Why are you here again?" "I haven''t left! You''re so heartless. You didn''t let me into your housest night, so I had to spend the night in the car. And my legs are numb!" Calvin frowned, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes. He didn''t find Todd so annoying before, but now he thought Todd always bothered him. "By the way, how is Jocelyn doing? Was she hurt badly? Is it healed yet? Can I go in and see her now?" Todd said anxiously. ¡°She already left for her own business.¡± "Huh? When?" "She''s long gone. You can get out of my face!" Calvin said in a deep voice, bent over, and got in the car, ordering the driver to drive. "Hey, hey, hey, Calvin..." Before Todd could say anything, Calvin''s car already drove away. Todd stood in ce, scratching his head. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. What was going on with Calvin? Did he go through early menopause? Why was he so mean to Todd? He had never been like this before! The Murray family. Jocelyn hadn''t been home in five years. Standing at the gate of the Murray''s again, she looked at the que that was hung high on the door head and felt it was a little bit of home. Five years ago, or after the death of her mother, she never felt the love of the family. This house was no longer her home! Marcus waited in the car. Jocelyn walked into the Murray family''s gate and first met Patricia, the housekeeper of the Murray family. When Patricia saw Jocelyn, she gave Jocelyn a contemptuous look and deliberately yelled at the doorman, "You shouldn''t have let a stranger in." Patricia treated Jocelyn like shit as Natalia suggested, let alone someone who hadn''t been back in five years. And Mr. Murray didn''t take her seriously for a long time. Jocelyn stopped in her tracks and looked at Patricia with raised eyebrows. "Are you Patricia? Don''t you recognize who I am?" Patricia said with a fake smile on her face, "Oh, I was wondering who it was. It''s Jocelyn! You haven''t been back for five years. Why did youe back today without telling us?" ... Chapter 30 They Wanted Her to Bear the Evil! Chapter 30 They Wanted Her to Bear the Evil! Chapter 30 They Wanted Her to Bear the Evil! "When I go back to my home, do I still need to notify you? I really didn''t expect that after a few years, you were promoted to the housekeeper and even looked down on me." "Jocelyn, it is your father who told me that no matter whoes to the Murray family, he must be notified in advance! To prevent any cats and dogs from getting in..." Patricia looked down on her in her heart and was very perfunctory to her. Jocelyn knew that there was no one else except Natalia who gave Patricia such great power. Generally, Natalia was in charge of the Murray family. Of course, Patricia dared to be so presumptuous towards Jocelyn because of Natalia''s support. Before Patricia could finish her sentence, Jocelyn gave her a resounding p. "Snapped!" Patricia was taken aback by the beating and she didn''t react. Jocelyn stared at Patricia coldly, and warned, "Since you know that I am Jocelyn, why do you dare to treat me like this? Do you really think that I will be bullied because I usually don''te back!" "No...it''s not...Jocelyn, I..." After Patricia was beaten up, she became more honest, and the arrogance that she looked down upon others just now was gone. "Get out of the way! A cock is bold on his own dunghill!" Jocelyn cursed and walked straight to the vi. A servant also wanted to look down upon her but she wanted to see what those members of the Murray family were going to do to her! As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the vi, Jocelyn heard a voiceing from inside. It was the voice of her father Leonard, "Thepany is in trouble, and I also don''t know what to do. Now the problem is that if I want Mr. Heller to invest in thepany, we have to pay a price. Mr. Heller''s condition is Glenna..." Before Leonard could finish speaking, Natalia hurriedly interrupted him, "Don''t be silly! Don''t tell me you want to sacrifice Glenna! I won''t agree! How old is Mr. Heller? He is old enough to be Glenna''s grandfather! I just have such a precious daughter! You want to push her into the pit of fire, don''t you?" Leonard sighed, "Hey, how could I harm my daughter? I haven''t promised him yet and this matter is yet to be discussed." Natalia thought of something, and suddenly came up with an idea, "Oh, yes, I thought of a good idea!" "What idea?" "Do you still remember that? Five years ago, Mr. Heller fell in love with Jocelyn! Isn''t Jocelyn back now? She looks as if she has been abandoned by others. Even if she wants to return to find a job, it may be very difficult. She has been unpopr for five years after retiring. If she can''t find a decent job by then, she may have toe back to rely on us. In my opinion, let''s arrange for someone to bring her back. When the timees, give her to Mr. Heller, so we can kill two birds with one stone." "I''m afraid I won''t be able to persuade her because of her stubborn nature!" "So what? She got into a catastrophe. Mr. Cloutier of Icehive Entertainment searched for her all over the world. She must be hiding somewhere like a street mouse. If she can be obedient and follow Mr. Heller, she can at least save her life. Will she not be grateful to us then?" Natalia made up her mind to push Jocelyn out. In short, she could not tolerate Jocelyn returning to the Murray family andpeting with her daughter for the property. In order to persuade Leonard, she kept saying, "I also watched Jocelyn grow up. It''s all because she got sick ten years ago, and after she came back, her personality changed, thinking that we all didn''t love her anymore. In fact, in my heart, she and Glenna are the same, and they are my daughters. I just hope to help Jocelyn find a good family, as long as she marries someone and stabilizes, she can live a good life, and we can also be worthy of her dead mother." Heh, it was simply the funniest joke Jocelyn had ever heard! You said that they were all your daughters, then why didn''t you send your own daughter out, but you wanted to send her away? Was she worthy of Jocelyn''s mother, Helena? Didn''t her face hurt when she says such things? If it wasn''t for her sudden return today, Jocelyn would not have known that the Murray family wanted to push her out to bear the evil! "Okay, I''ll arrange for someone to find her now." Leonard ordered the bodyguards around him to go out to find Jocelyn, but when the bodyguards arrived at the door, they were startled. "Jocelyn!" "Jocelyn is back..." The bodyguards did not go out, but Jocelyn appeared at the house on her own initiative, and they quickly returned to report to Leonard. When the two people in the room heard that Jocelyn was back, they turned their heads to look at her at the same time. "Jocelyn?" Leonard''s eyes lit up when he saw Jocelyn, and he felt like it took no effort at all. Before sending someone to look for her, she returned by herself, saving him a lot of trouble. "Jocelyn, you''re back! Come in quickly! Your dad was just talking about wanting to pick you up to live at home, but he didn''t know how to contact you, and then you came back." Natalia yed the role of stepmother very well. In front of Leonard, she was definitely a good woman who was considerate and reasonable. "Really? I''m sorry to trouble you a lot!" Jocelyn walked in and said that expressionless. Natalia winked at Leonard, and Leonard had to hold back his temper, put on a good face and said, "Come back and stay at home! Living outside is not asfortable as at home, and Natalia still keeps your upstairs room for you!" "Don''t pretend to be a good person. I heard what you said just now. You want to send me to Mr. Heller to help the Murray family ovee the difficulties, right?" Natalia''s face turned red and white with embarrassment, and she hurriedly exined, "Jocelyn, you must have misunderstood it. How could we give you away? Your father just wants to help you arrange your marriage. You are not young and it''s time to find a suitable family!" "Is it possible that the good person you are talking about is Mr. Heller from the Iselectrics Group? The one who raised six concubines? If I remember correctly, Mr. Heller is older than my father. Are you looking for him to be my father?" Jocelyn remembered that Mr. Heller had shown his interest in her five years ago, but she was together with Ernest at that time, and Mr. Heller didn''t dare to do anything to her. Leonard couldn''t help his temper, and said angrily, "What did you say? Natalia and I are for your own good, and you still don''t appreciate it!" Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Thank you for your kindness. Even if I never get married, I will never consider Mr. Heller. If Mr. Heller is good, you can let Glenna marry her and be his seventh concubine! Maybe Mr. Heller dies within a few days after the marriage. All the inheritance of the Heller family will belong to his seventh concubine! In this way, you don''t have to worry about the Murray family''s life, and your coffin is guaranteed to be enough!" Leonard was annoyed by Jocelyn''s words, pointed at her nose and questioned, "You damn girl, do you regard me as your father in your heart?" "At least you have to regard me as your daughter before I can regard you as a father. You don''t even consider me as your daughter, so why should I regard you as my father?" Jocelyn tilted her head and asked back. "you--" Leonard was so angry that his blood pressure shot up, and he was so angry that he didn''t speak for a long time. ... Chapter 31 They Were So Shrewd 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. ... Chapter 32 Dont Blame Us For Offending! Chapter 32 Don''t me Us For Offending! Chapter 32 Don''t me Us For Offending! She called Marcus Page and asked him toe in to pick her up. At the same time, she opened the window. Fortunately, she lived on the second floor, which was not very high from the ground, so she could escape along the sewer pipe and the air conditioner. After making up her mind, Jocelyn climbed up to the window and climbed out cautiously, but unfortunately, her clothes were identally caught on a nail, making it difficult to get down. When Marcus came in from the outside, he saw Jocelyn from a distance turning over the window on the second floor. What''s going on? Why didn''t Ms. Austin go through the main entrance? No matter what the reason was, Marcus''s main task was to ensure her safety. He noticed adder in the yard, so he quickly moved it over and put it beside her. With Marcus''s help, Jocelyn stepped on thedder and tore off the fabric on the front of her clothes before she escaped safely and fell to the ground. Just as she stood on the ground, before she exined the reason, a few bodyguards ran out of the Murray family''s house and shouted at them, "Jocelyn is over there! She has escaped! Hurry up!" "Run! Marcus!" Jocelyn ran away, and Marcus intercepted them. Those bodyguards were not Marcus''s opponents at all, and Marcus easily defeated them. They fled to the gate of the Murray family, but Ernest''s subordinates had already arrived. Four or five cars blocked the gate of the Murray family. A dozen people got out of the car and said to Jocelyn, "Ms. Murray! Pleasee back with us and meet Mr. Cloutier!" Jocelyn sneered, "What if I am not willing?" "Then don''t me us for offending!" More than a dozen people swarmed up to catch Jocelyn and Marcus rushed up to protect Jocelyn and fought against them. Jocelyn herself was not a vase decoration that knew nothing. For the past four years, she had specialized in Free Boxing and self-defense martial arts abroad, and she had no problem dealing with several men alone. Marcus''s martial skills were already good, and with Jocelyn''s cooperation, they perfectly beat this group of people to pieces. While these people were all staggering, Marcus started the car. And after Jocelyn got into the car, they left the ce together. On the way, Marcus looked at Jocelyn in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and asked, "Ms. Austin, are you alright?" "It''s okay. I''m sorry to trouble you again." Jocelyn apologized. "No, no, it''s my honor to follow you." In fact, Marcus used to be a mercenary, and it was his normal state to be fighting. But since he followed Calvin, most of his skills were useless, and he was now mainly in charge of the internal affairs of the Austin family, therefore, the peaceful days were idle and demoralizing. But just now he found the passion of fighting again, and he felt so great! Next, Jocelyn asked Marcus to take her to Cubeshack Law. Having made an appointment in advance, Jocelyn met Ronald Brown, a gold medalwyer of Cubeshack Law. After many years of absence, Ronald was still the same as before. He was elegant and gentle, with no trace of time. Her mother, Helena, once told her that in this world, if there was one person who could be trusted, that was Ronald. Jocelyn learned that Ronald was her mother''s soulmate when she grew up. For the sake of Helena, he had not married yet. Ronald thought it was the client of the new case who wanted to see him, but when he saw that it was Jocelyn, he was really surprised, "Jocelyn, nice to meet you. I read the news and knew you were back." "Long time no see. Mr. Brown, how are you?" "Well, I am fine!" Ronald took off his sses and wiped the wet corners of his eyes. Probably because seeing Jocelyn would remind him of Helena, he was a little hurt. "Mr. Brown, I came to see you today because I want to ask you for help." "What''s the matter? Please tell me!" "Is the agreement left by my grandfather still with you?" The reason why Jocelyn came to Ronald was that she secretly entrusted the share agreement that her grandfather gave her to Ronald for safekeeping many years ago. Only she and Ronald knew about this matter, and they never told anyone about it. "Yes, wait for me, and I''ll find it out." Ronald went to the inner room, found the documents from the safe, and showed them to Jocelyn. He kept the documents properly and intact. Jocelyn got straight to the point, "Mr. Brown, this agreement stiptes that I can enjoy 20% of the Murray family''s equity. Please help me transfer it to cash, is it okay?" After learning about the situation, Ronald looked at the agreement again and said to her, "Jocelyn, I''m afraid you won''t be able to sell this equity right now because your grandfather has a rule that you must be at least 25 years old to be eligible to transfer it." "Huh? Wait until I''m 25? Why does he have to make such a rule?" Jocelyn didn''t pay attention to the above content before, but now that she read it, she realized that it was indeed the case. But now she was 23 years old, and she had to wait another 2 years before she turned 25. Grandpa, why did you add such an additional condition? "Maybe Mr. Murray made such a decision because he was afraid that you would give away the share at will. He wanted to give you a long-term guarantee." Jocelyn could also understand his intentions. After all, in addition to her mother, in the Murray family, the best person for her was her grandfather. Unfortunately, her grandfather died too early to wait for her to grow up and honor him. "Okay, I got it, Mr. Brown. If that''s the case, please continue to keep it for me." "It''s okay, Jocelyn. By the way, when you came back this time, did you suddenlye to me to deal with this matter because you encountered some trouble? You can talk to me and I''ll help you figure it out. " Jocelyn was very grateful to him. She couldn''t repay his love debt for her mother, so she didn''t want to owe Ronald anymore. "No, no, I haven''t encountered any trouble. Thank you, Mr. Brown. I have something else to do, and I''m leaving first. I''lle to see you when I am free!" Jocelyn was about to leave, but Ronald called her back, "Wait, Jocelyn. Your mother left you something, and now I can give it to you." "What?" Ronald opened the locked drawer, found an exquisite velvet box from the deepest part, and handed it to her. Jocelyn opened it and saw that it was a key with a serial number, "Mr. Brown, this is..." "This is the key to your mother''s safe in Voltnamfan Bank. She asked me to keep it for you. Now that you are back, and it''s time to give it to you." To be precise, her mother entrusted Ronald to keep it until Jocelyn was 20 years old and then he could hand it over to her. But five years ago, she suddenly went abroad and cut off all contact. He couldn''t find her, so he waited until now. "Thank you, Mr. Brown." Jocelyn didn''t know that her mother had left something for her in the safe of Voltnamfan Bank.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. What would it be? After bidding farewell to Ronald, Jocelyn asked Marcus to drive to Voltnamfan Bank. She couldn''t wait to know what her mother had left for her. If it was arge sum of money, wouldn''t she have to run around to make money? ... Chapter 33 What She Needs Most Now Chapter 33 What She Needs Most Now Chapter 33 What She Needs Most Now Jocelyn found the staff at Voltnamfan Bank. After showing the keys , they were respectfully invited in. ording to the number of the key, the bank staff opened the safe in front of Jocelyn, took out the item in it, and gave it to her. It was a very exquisite dark purple silk box. It didn''t contain therge amount of money that Jocelyn expected, nor gold bars, silver bars, diamonds, or jewelry. It was all old things left by Helena. On the top was a picture frame. In the picture frame was a group photo of Helena when she was young, holding Jocelyn, who just turned one year old, with the gold words "Jocelyn¡¯s first anniversary". Seeing Helena''s gentle smile again, Jocelyn burst into tears. That things had their associations could probably describe her mood at the moment. Stunned for a moment, she wiped away her tears and looked down again. There were some letters below. The envelopes were yellow and old. They were all letters written by Helena. There was no title and no recipient. Jocelyn was very confused. Helena wrote so many letters to whom? She thought. Why hadn''t they all been sent? Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Jocelyn could read these letters slowly when she had time. She continued looking at things. In addition to the photo frame and old letters, she also found a tinum chain in the box. Below it was a unique clover pendant. The front was iid with diamonds, and the back was engraved with the letters H&A. H and A... What did these two letters mean? She thought. Could it be an abbreviation? Her mother''s name was Helena. Were H and A Helena''s initials? For a short time, Jocelyn couldn''t figure out these questions. However, this ne was thest gift left by Helena. She held it in her hand and suddenly gathered a lot of courage. The clover symbolized good luck, which Jocelyn needed most now! Helena must want to leave her good fortune for Jocelyn all her life. She received it and would keep it well. Jocelyn left Voltnamfan Bank and took the contents of the safe. Next, Jocelyn was considering whom she should find to raise funds. She wanted to find Todd! Anyway, he was the father of the children. If she looked for him, he would definitely help her without hesitation. Besides, she also wanted to talk to him about her rtionship with Calvin. Jocelyn sent a text message to Todd, asking him to meet at Sapphire Cafe at noon. She arrived at the cafe in advance, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited for Todd while drinking. An hourter, she looked at the time on her mobile phone. She wondered if Todd didn''t see the message she sent. It was normal not to see the message. Jocelyn nned to call him, but before the phone could have been dialed, a noble woman appeared in front of her. "Jocelyn." As the woman spoke, she sat down in front of Jocelyn. When Jocelyn looked up to see who wasing, she opened her mouth in surprise. "Denise?" Denise smiled faintly and said elegantly, "Jocelyn, we haven''t seen each other for years! What do you want to see Todd about? You sent the message to his private mobile phone, and it happened that his mobile phone was left at home. I saw it and came." "Oh, Denise, I just want to talk about something with Todd." Denise exined the reason why she came. Jocelyn was a little ufortable when she suddenly saw Todd''s mother. To be precise, Jocelyn had always been a little afraid of Denise. When she went to the Garner family as a child, she always felt Denise was very cold and difficult to get close to. Moreover, Denise should not like her very much, especially since sheter entered the entertainment circle. Denise despised actors. "You can tell me directly. Do you want him to help you quell the scandal or invest in filming?" Denise asked directly. "No, I just want to talk to Todd. I haven''t seen him for a long time." Jocelyn smiled awkwardly. She couldn''t say anything about the two things she wanted to talk about with Todd. When Jocelyn was silent, Denise said again, "Todd is an innocent. He believes in what others say. He is also very affectionate. Two years ago, a woman came to him and said that she bore him a son, but I found out that it wasn¡¯t Todd¡¯s son. I have experienced many such things. I also me Todd for his simple mind. If I don''t help him handle some, he will inevitably be cheated, right?" When Denise said these words, her tone was calm, as if the elder were gossiping with the younger. But what she said sounded a little ironic and had implications. "I heard from Todd that you have given birth to two children, haven''t you?" Denise asked, staring into Jocelyn''s eyes. "Ha ha, yes!" Jocelyn probably understood the meaning of her words just now. "Who is your children¡¯s father?" Didn''t Todd tell Denise that the children were his? Jocelyn thought. Or, even if Todd said, Denise would not believe that the children were his? After all, the paternity test had not been done yet and Jocelyn had no confidence to admit that the children were Todd¡¯s. "I don''t know yet..." Denise suddenly held Jocelyn''s hand and said, "Jocelyn, if you have any difficulties, you can directly tell me. If you feel that it is a heavy burden to raise two children by yourself, I can sponsor a sum of money for you, just for the sake of your dead mother. But please don''t go to Todd. We have performed as a matchmaker for him. If the girl knew it, it would be bad." After Denise finished speaking, she took out a check and pushed it to Jocelyn. Looking at this check, Jocelyn felt a pain in her chest, as if her dignity had been trampled on the ground. She understood Denise''s meaning. She didn''t want her to continue pestering Todd and wanted to send her away with this check. "Denise, please keep the check! I am not short of money! I will not find Todd again. If he has an intended wife, I will bless him!" Jocelyn squeezed out a bitter smile, stood up, and picked up her bag. "I have something to do. Denise, goodbye." Since Denise, Todd''s mother, came to see her, Jocelyn learned that she should not let the children be with him anymore. What was more, she had been confused about whether the children were Todd''s or not. The paternity test hadn''t been done. It was hard to say. Having given up Todd, Jocelyn made an appointment with another investor who was qualified to meet at 7:30 p.m. at Club Rapture. ... At 7:30 p.m., Jocelyn appeared at the door of Box 686 in Club Rapture on time. There were bodyguards and only Jocelyn was allowed to go in and talk. Jocelyn could only ask Marcus to wait for her outside. If the negotiation went well, she should not take too long. ... Chapter 34 See How I Deal with Her Chapter 34 See How I Deal with Her Chapter 34 See How I Deal with Her After Jocelyn entered the 686 box, Marcus turned and went to the Supreme box. He knew that Calvin was in Club Rapture tonight, so he could just report Jocelyn''s whereabouts. About four or five men were drinking in the 686 box. Each man was sat with and served by a beautiful woman. Everyone was drinking. Men were addicted to the pleasures of song and women. Jocelyn looked at everyone''s faces and finally stared at the man with a square face. He was Martin Ross, the boss of the Unicode Group she met today. "Mr. Ross!" Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Jocelyn''s clear and graceful voice immediately interrupted the blissful atmosphere in the room. It could be said that her appearance immediately attracted everyone''s attention. The men followed the sound and were shocked. They couldn''t help looking at the slim and beautiful woman in front of them. Jocelyn''s dress tonight was very simple. She wore a simple white skirt and avender shawl. Her face was perfect and delicate and the light and elegant makeup was to the point. Her impressive appearance was really amazing. When men saw Jocelyn, everyone was extremely surprised. When women saw Jocelyn, everyone was jealous. Because of her appearance, there was a feeling that the stars and rivers were lit up in an instant. Compared with her, everyone else would be eclipsed. Martin looked straight and recognized Jocelyn as former Movie Queen of Golden Wild Goose Award. He immediately pushed away those normal women around him and stood up excitedly and said, "Ms. Murray? Unexpectedly, you really came! I am deeply honored! Hurry! Please sit down!" Martin had vacated his seat and invited Jocelyn to take a seat. But Jocelyn politely declined, "I''m sorry, Mr. Ross. I wanted to talk to you about something, but I didn''t expect so many people. You look very busy, or we can make another appointment." Why did Jocelyn find Martin? It was because Martin was one of the partners of Icehive Entertainment. Five years ago, just after The Phoenix Queen was approved, Martin showed great interest in the new film and said that he wanted to participate in the investment. But at that time, Ernest gave him too low a dividend ratio, leading to the failure of cooperation. Jocelyn didn''t know whether Martin was willing to invest in that film after five years. She just wanted to take a chance with him today. In fact, the main reason why Martin liked the new film at that time was that he liked Jocelyn. But at that time, with Ernest, it was not easy for him to approach her. After five years, Jocelyn suddenly appeared and took the initiative to find him. It could be said that Martin was really ttered. After five years, she was more beautiful than before. She was like a grain of sand hidden in his heart. It always tickled his heart. The desire to get her started again. Seeing that Jocelyn was leaving, Martin hurriedly came to stop her. "No, no, no. I''m not busy at all. There is plenty of time. It''s my honor that you cane to me. Whenever youe to me, I''ll be free." After he stopped Jocelyn''s way, he began to show off in front of others. "Let me introduce you guys, this is Jocelyn Murray, who was rated as Movie Queen of Golden Wild Goose Award at the age of 18. She has retired for five years and now returned home for development. She is a down-to-earth child star, and her acting skills are excellent." After Martin''s introduction, the other men in the box looked at her with apletely new appraisal. "Is she Jocelyn? The most popr goddess five years ago and the youngest Movie Queen? Was she the one who announced her retirement on the day of the award?" "That''s right. I can still remember the TV y the Jones Girls she yed when she was very young. She was called J or Jenny. Anyway, her acting skills are really good." "I didn''t expect Jocelyn to show up five yearster. She has looks to die for and has be more and more beautiful. If it weren''t for Mr. Ross''s introduction, we wouldn''t recognize her!" "It''s true. A girl changes fast in physical appearance from childhood to adulthood. With her figure and appearance, if shees out of retirement again, she will definitely be a hit!" The men looked greedily at Jocelyn''s face and figure, which made her feel very ufortable. Her intuition told her that it was impossible to talk about things today. Especially in this kind of situation, there were so many different opinions that it was not suitable for conversation. Jocelyn didn''t n to talk tonight anymore. It would be more appropriate to talk to Martin at his company another day. So Jocelyn said goodbye, but Martin pressed her onto the sofa and forced her to sit down. "Ms. Murray, here you are. Don''t hurry to go! It''s rare to see you. Have a drink before you go. Come on, come on! Have a drink! I drink a toast to you!" Martin not only poured her wine but also tried to persuade her to drink it with a cup. Jocelyn excused herself from drinking, but he still refused to let her go, even forcing her to drink it. Jocelyn was unbearable. She directly pushed the cup away and said, "Mr. Ross! I said I won''t drink it, please don''t force me to do it! Sorry, I''ll leave first!" "You want to leave so quickly?" Martin immediately got gloomy, pushed Jocelyn down on the sofa, and sneered. "Why? Didn''t you come to me first? Since you want my help, you should at least humble yourself a bit. I asked you to drink, which was to look up to you. Don''t be shameless. I just asked you to have a drink and you refused. You want to do bad things but get a good reputation, don''t you?" Jocelyn heard Martin say such insulting words, got up from the sofa, directly picked up the ss, and threw it on his face. "Mr. Ross! Please don''t go too far! I''m here to talk about things, not to drink with you! Since you''re not sincere, there is no need to talk!" Jocelyn went directly over to Martin to leave but was caught by his wrist. However, with Jocelyn''s skill, it was impossible for him to stop her. Jocelyn folded his hand back. Martin had to release her. Jocelyn took the opportunity to break into the bodyguards at the door and escape from the box. "Catch her! See how I deal with her! Idiot woman!" Behind her came Martin''s hysterical roar and the bodyguards heard the order and rushed to catch her. ... On the other side, in the supreme box, Calvin was the host, continuing the after-work drinks that were not finished yesterday. He left early yesterday because Jocelyn was injured. But today, Shamar and Ryder insisted that he come to spring for their wine and he could not refuse it. Before Calvin could drink a few sses of wine, Marcus came in and reported the situation in his ear. After listening, he continued to drink with his friends. His mood did not seem to be disturbed. It was said that Jocelyn went everywhere to raise money. She did everything but beg him. He wanted to see what else she could think of and how long she could be tough. Chapter 35 Has Strong Nerves Regardless of the Date Chapter 35 Has Strong Nerves Regardless of the Date Chapter 35 Has Strong Nerves Regardless of the Date Calvin knew that Jocelyn was also in Club Rapture, but he didn''t take any action. However, as if he were an emperor, he looked like he had controlled everything from his deep eyes. He was like a calm lion, ready to go, waiting for his prey. Ryder held a ss of wine and muttered, "Is Todd crazy about Jocelyn? Why didn''t hee to drink?" "He already has his wife and children. How can he have time for us?" Shamarughed. "If you envy Todd for having a wife, you can find one." "Me? How can I find a wife? First of all, let God give me a beautiful woman!" Ryder had just finished speaking when the box door was pushed open. Suddenly, a beautiful woman rushed in. He was stunned. A woman burst into the room and several men were shocked. Ryder was the most shocked. He had just finished speaking. Now God had sent him a beautiful woman? He thought. Wasn''t this amazing? Jocelyn ran all the way to avoid Martin''s men. She just saw a waitering out of the box. Before the door could be closed, she didn''t care much and broke in. She took a nce at the box and noticed the cold man on the independent sofa. She felt a sudden chill. Was he Calvin? She thought. Why was he here? Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Regardless of the reason, it was good to see Calvin at this moment. Jocelyn wasn''t scared anymore and finally felt calm. Almost without hesitation, she ran over to Calvin and threw herself at his feet. She said pleasantly, "Mr. Austin! I didn''t expect you to be here! It''s great to see you!" Ryder was speechless. Was there any mistake? He thought. What was the situation? Why did the woman who was just given by God fall under Calvin''s suit pants as soon as she came in? Ryder was shocked and puzzled. He was wondering whether Calvin never interacted with women. Wasn''t he intolerant of any woman approaching him closely? Wasn''t he allergic or even in shock when touched by a woman? Then why did the woman almost get into his arms and he didn''t kick her out? When Ryder was still extremely surprised, a group of people burst into the door. One of them kicked the box door open directly. After entering the room, they looked around and quickly found Jocelyn. "She''s there! She''s hiding there!" Martin''s bodyguards were stupid. They didn''t even see whose box door they kicked open, let alone who were sitting in the box. They were so arrogant and wanted Jocelyn directly. "That woman is Mr. Ross''s! Let her go quickly! Otherwise, don''t me us for being rude!" Calvin''s eyes were cold and sharp. He asked calmly, "Which Mr. Ross?" As soon as Shamar heard Calvin''s voice, he knew that the man named Mr. Ross would be taught a lesson! How dare to challenge Calvin? Martin really had strong nerves regardless of the date! "How many Mr. Ross? He is the president of the Unicode Group, Martin Ross!" The bodyguards revealed Martin''s identity background, thinking that he was iparable and that they could scare everyone away by shouting his name. The bodyguards were a bully under the protection of a powerful person. Almost in an instant, Marcus and Craig joined hands and struck like lightning. Before the bodyguards could react, their hands were all broken. "Ah ah ah..." There was a miserable cry in the box. Calvin red coldly at the good-for-nothings on the ground and said nonchntly, "Go back and tell the man surnamed Ross! Either kneel and beg me or jump down from the top floor and die!" Martin''s men ran away from the box in panic. Jocelyn was eventually safe and breathed a sigh. ncing at the man with a strong and cold air, she ttered him. "Mr. Austin, you are so arrogant just now! How awesome! I really admire you!" There was a look of infatuation in Jocelyn''s eyes. Although Calvin didn''t say anything, his gloomy face finally calmed down a lot. Even the tense atmosphere just now had eased a lot. Ryder looked at the scene in front of him, and could not help but gasp at the corners of his mouth. What about Calvin''s arrogance? He thought. How could he continue to tolerate this woman? It was a miracle that he didn''t kick her away! Ryder and Shamar stared at Jocelyn in surprise. They thought she was familiar. Shamar pped his thigh and asked, "Are you Jocelyn?" Ryder was surprised. Todd said that his wife''s name was Jocelyn! Was she Jocelyn? Ryder thought. But what was the rtionship between her and Calvin? They seemed to be familiar! Jocelyn heard Shamar call her name, turned around, and noticed them. She nced at them and said surprisingly, "Wow! Who are these two? They are so handsome!" Calvin was speechless. How dared Jocelyn boast that other men were handsome in front of Calvin? Calvin suddenly looked gloomy. Instead of introducing Jocelyn, he got up and grabbed her. "s... Mr. Austin, what are you doing?" Jocelyn was suddenly pulled up and hit the wine ss on the table. The red wine sshed on her white skirt. "My clothes are dirty..." What was the matter? Calvin did not give any exnation at all, nor did he allow her to finish her whole speech, and directly pulled her out of the box. Watching Calvin drag and take Jocelyn away, Ryder and Shamar were both stunned. They hadn''t had time to figure out what their rtionship was. Jocelyn was confused all the time when Calvin dragged her outside. Although Calvin was not pulling on her injured arm, it also affected her wound since he pulled too fast. The wound was slightly painful. Jocelyn frowned. "Hey, Mr. Austin... Could you let go of me? My wound is sore!" She was jogging, but she couldn''t catch up with his long legs. She lost one of her high-heeled shoes. "Ah, my shoe fell..." She staggered for two steps and was about to fall. Calvin held her in time and didn''t help her pick up her shoes. Instead, he directly picked her up sideways and went to the front of the car, stuffed her into the back seat, and sat in. As soon as the door was closed, there was a sense of oppression. Jocelyn unconsciously moved a little to the other side. She turned her head and looked at the man next to her. She was angry with him. He was so rude. He soiled her skirt and made her shoes lost! Damn man, couldn''t you be gentle? Calvin ignored her protesting eyes and said coldly, "You seem to have forgotten what I said!" "What?" Jocelyn was thinking, but she didn''t know what he meant. "Since you marry me, as my wife, you are not allowed to wink at any other man!" Huh? When did he say that? Why didn''t she have any impression? Also, when did she wink at other men? ... Chapter 36 Just Spare Me This Time Chapter 36 Just Spare Me This Time Chapter 36 Just Spare Me This Time The only thing Jocelyn could remember was that she just nced at the other two handsome men in the private room. She felt depressed and said, "Mr. Austin, I didn''t wink at all. Can''t I praise your friends for their appearance?" "You couldn''t do so before me," Calvin said word by word in a hostile tone. "How jealous you are! Alright, you win..." Jocelyn thought. Since she still had to count on his protection, Jocelyn couldn''t offend him or even quarrel with him. To redeem her mistake, she quickly turned soft and helped him massage his shoulders. "I''m sorry, Mr. Austin. It was my fault just now! I should''t have praised other men in front of you! I won''t do it next time! Just spare me this time!" The man groaned, but Jocelyn was unsure if he agreed or was enjoying this moment. Calvin continued to drive the luxury car forward. So, Jocelyn looked at the driving route and asked, "Mr. Austin, where are you going now? Are you not going back to Tundra?" Calvin took her not to Tundra, but to a nearby shopping center. After Calvin parked the car, Craig brought over Jocelyn''s shoes she had just dropped. Jocelyn put on the shoes and followed Calvin to the gate of the shopping mall. "Mr. Austin, why are youing here all of a sudden?" Jocelyn didn''t know what he wanted to do. He never told her in advance about his ns. He did as he pleased and didn''t care about her feelings at all. "Didn''t you say that your clothes were dirty?" Calvin nced at the hem of her skirt, which was stained red with wine and didn''t look good. He was going to buy clothes for her? As Jocelyn recalled that he had bought all the clothes from a storest time, she became a little apprehensive. Today, she must stop him from shopping impulsively. Fortunately, Calvin didn''t interfere with her choice of clothes today. Jocelyn chose a dress with a conservative style and looked very pretty in it. Seeing this, Calvin nodded in agreement. After buying the clothes, they went down to the first floor of the shopping mall. At this moment, Jocelyn noticed a row of toy grabbers next to her. Thinking of something, she asked Calvin to wait for a moment. She found a few coins in her bag. After inserting a coin, she soon started the machine. When Calvin found out that Jocelyn went to y with toy grabbers, he twitched the corners of his mouth. As an adult, she still loved ying like a little girl. Jocelyn finally got a doll. It was a cute little lion. As she went back to Calvin with the toy, Jocelyn showed him excitedly, "Look, I got a little lion!" Did a little lion make her so happy? Calvin answered helplessly, "If you want, I can..." Jocelyn got what he meant, and interrupted him hastily, "No, I don''t. Don''t buy all of the toys for me. Sometimes, one is enough for what you need! What is so easy to get is often not cherished. Especially when ites to grabbing toys, you have to enjoy the process of grabbing them!" Hearing this, Calvin was thoughtful. Jocelyn tilted her head to look at him, then nced at the little lion in her hand, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Austin, do you know how to grab toys? Don''t tell me you haven''t yed this before." Calvin didn''t want to be looked down upon. "It''s a piece of cake," he thought. "Of course, I know." Calvin was aroused to give it a try. After his subordinates helped him get some coins, Calvin began to try to grab the toys. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. To be honest, he could deal with his business very well and could solve even the most difficult troubles. Today, however, he couldn''t control the w machine well! He had used all of the coins but got nothing. Finally, he gave up. "Only childish guys y with this kind of thing!" Jocelyn wanted tough at him. It would be okay if he couldn''t make it, but he never humbly asked for advice. To make it less awkward for him, she held him back. "Mr. Austin, try again for thest time. I''ll teach you. Let''s grab them together!" Jocelyn put a coin into the machine, stood in front of him, and held his hand to control the w machine together. As for Craig, Marcus, and Calvin''s other subordinates, this scene was too weird. They had never seen Calvin so patient to y this with girls. Since the two were so close, all of the rest guys felt a bit jealous. It was time to witness a miracle! Another pink piglet fell out of the machine. Jocelyn let go of his hand, took out the pink piggy from the opening below, and said happily, "Mr. Austin, you have mastered the skill of grabbing toys, haven''t you?" "It''s just a piece of cake," Calvin answered arrogantly. In fact, he didn''t learn it at all, because he didn''t know what he was thinking just now, and all his attention was on her pretty hands. He forgot how he got the doll but only remembered the strange feeling when she held his hand. The luxury car returned to Fallcastle. The moment the two entered the vi, Tammy ran over from the house. "Mommy... Daddy..." Seeing Mommy and Daddye back together, Tammy ran to greet them happily. "Tammy!" Jocelyn hugged her daughter and offered her the dolls she and Calvin grabbed. "Look, I got you toys! Do you like them?" Only then did Calvin understand that the dolls Jocelyn grabbed tonight were small gifts for her children. They only got two, but there were three children. "A little pig and a lion! Thank you, Mommy. I like them very much!" Tammy took the gifts and kissed her mommy on the cheek. The little girl didn''t take the gifts all alone, but ran back to the house and shouted braggingly, "Jeffrey, they are gifts from Mommy!" "I don''t like those kinds of childish things." Jeffrey hugged his little arms proudly. "Okay. If you don''t want it, I''ll give it to Sean," Tammy said. "Hey..." When Jeffrey heard that his sister was going to give it to Sean, he immediately regretted it and wanted it back, but the little girl had already sent the toy to Sean''s arms. "Sean, do you like a pig or a lion?" Sean nced at the two little dolls in her hands. In fact, he hadn''t yed with such childish toys for a long time. However, this was from Tammy. So, he took a piglet. "You are the piglet, and I''m the lion. Let''s y!" Tammy took the little lion and started to y with Sean. Jeffrey saw this and began to pout again to sulk. "Were the dolls fun? No, not at all!" he thought. However, he was still envious of them and nced at them from time to time. He should have said that he liked it! ... Chapter 37 Our Marriage Is Fake Chapter 37 Our Marriage Is Fake Chapter 37 Our Marriage Is Fake Jocelyn bathed her daughter and put her to bed that night. She didn''t worry about Jeffrey at all because he could take care of himself very well. She didn''t leave the room until all her kids fell asleep. After closing the door, she ran into Beatrice when she turned around. Jocelyn was taken aback and said, "Hi, Beatrice. You stay up toote." "Yeah, I came to see you. Do you want to have a midnight snack? I can ask someone to prepare it." Jocelyn shook her head and answered, "No, I''m full for dinner, and I''m not hungry now." "OK." Jocelyn was very grateful to Beatrice, since when she and Calvin got home tonight, she had asked someone to prepare the meals. And now she came to ask Jocelyn intimately if she wanted to eat a midnight snack. Jocelyn began to think it was her blessing to meet such a great mother-inw. She hadn''t got her mother''s love for a long time since her mother had died when she was young. "Don''t worry about us. Just go to bed! Good night." After she finished, Jocelyn was about to go to the guestroom. At this moment, however, Beatrice called her back. "Honey, you seem to choose the wrong way. The master room is over there." Jocelyn paused, beginning to realize that Beatrice hade to "supervise and inspect" her married life. Calvin and she slept in different roomsst night. Now that Beatrice was staring at her, Jocelyn had to go to sleep with Calvin. Turning her head, Jocelyn smiled, "Oh, yeah. I made a mistake. There are too many rooms and I fail to distinguish between them. Alright, I''ll go to the master room first!" She waved her hand to Beatrice and went straight to the master room. Beatrice watched Jocelyn enter the bedroom with a smile before she felt relieved. A servant told her that her son went to the master room but left Jocelyn alone in the guestroomst night. In her opinion, the married couple must sleep together. Beatrice guessed that maybe the two were newly married and didn''t have sex well. Moreover, Calvin knew little about sex and the two likely quarreled with each other due to this. Beatrice wanted to help them make up. Jocelyn didn''t intend to stay overnight in the master room. She nned to return to the guestroom after Beatrice went to her room. About two minutester, Jocelyn guessed Beatrice might have left, so she opened the door. However, the woman was still standing near the door and looking at Jocelyn with a smile. Jocelyn smiled awkwardly, stuck out her tongue, and quickly closed the door. It seemed that she couldn''t sleep in the guestroom tonight. Thus, she had to go to the master room. The sound of pattering water came from the bathroom. Jocelyn looked out and saw a tall figure reflected on a foggy ss wall. All right! Jocelyn could feel the handsome man''s damn hormones again! She worked to prevent herself from being tempted by his charm! After showering, Calvin returned to the master room in a nightgown. Seeing Jocelyn sitting by the bed, he asked, "Why are you here? Didn''t you say you''re going to sleep over there tonight?" Jocelyn made a gesture to exin, "Your mother is outside, so I can''t make it." Calvin finally understood that his mother mighte to investigate his married life, probably because she was doubting their rtionship. If so, there was no need for Calvin to pretend to be polite. He walked over directly, sat down beside Jocelyn, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and said intentionally, "In that case, why don''t we act more realistically?" "What do you mean?" Jocelyn asked vigntly while subconsciously turning sideways when she felt the man''s hot breath fall on her ear. "Why not have se..." "Hey! It was you who said in the agreement that I shouldn''t sleep with you, love you, or..." Before she could finish speaking, Calvin jokingly said, "That''s my request for you, but I didn''t say anything about myself." "What? How could you do this?" Jocelyn didn''t expect this guy to be so crafty that his agreement required her to behave well but allowed him to do whatever he wanted. "What''s wrong with me? Did I break thew? You are my wife, OK?" Calvin said as it should be. Jocelyn was irritated. "But our marriage is fake!" "The marriage certificate is real." When Calvin nced at her breast, Jocelyn immediately defensively folded her arms. "Mr. Austin, if you want to break the agreement, it will be over. I won''t need 10 million dors anymore, but take the children away tomorrow." Seeing Jocelyn getting up to leave, Calvin pulled her back. Jocelyn''s calf hit the bed, and her body fell backward uncontrobly. "Ah..." Jocelyn screamed. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g The next second, the man closed to her with his handsome face and met her eyes. At this moment, she was so frightened that she forgot to breathe. "Leave? Where do you want to go? Do you want to take the children to find my cousin? Do you think you can enter the house of the Garner family?" Calvin held down her arms, and the two were so close to each other. However, his words were a bit sarcastic, which made her feel a little heartbroken when she thought she met Denise during the day. She knew she couldn''t marry into such an influential family as the Garner family, so she didn''t intend to find Todd with her children. She could take care of her two children by herself before. In the future, she could also raise them without relying on anyone. "It''s none of your business." Jocelyn refuted him bravely, not aware of the slight grievance in her tone. "None of my business? That''s why you found the portly aged guy Martin behind my back, right?" Calvin had held back his anger over the night and it was time for him to know what she was thinking. Was it more difficult for her to ask him for help than to take the risk of begging the lustful old guy? Though he was normally her husband, she paid no attention to him, did she? "I didn''t do anything wrong to you. Didn''t we agree not to interfere with each other? It is my right to beg whoever I want." If Jocelyn hadn''t said those things to him unabashedly after drinkingst night, she wouldn''t have found him. She burned her bridges! "You asked another man rather than me for help. I have never seen a woman who is more stupid than you!" Jocelyn forced a smile, "Mr. Austin, you are wrong! Haven''t you heard the saying that rabbits never eat grass beside their nests?" That meant unless it was necessary, she would not beg Calvin and owe him more, since once they broke up, she might not return the favor. "Do you think you are the rabbit and I am the grass?" Calvin asked seriously. "Yeah." Jocelyn nodded. Calvin was very dissatisfied with this metaphor, and snorted lightly, "How can I be grass? At least I am a tree!" He was so wealthy and powerful. How could he just be grass? ... Chapter 38 You Are the 24th Chapter 38 You Are the 24th Chapter 38 You Are the 24th Jocelyn was suddenly amused by his seriousness, and stopped arguing with him. "Well, you are a tree. A towering tree! I''m too tiny to hold you in my arms!" Jocelyn had to admit that Calvin was like a big tree. He could protect her and make her feel at ease. What Jocelyn said instantly gratified Calvin''s vanity. He was less irritable and let go of her. Jocelyn suddenly became obedient, quickly ran back to the sofa consciously, and kept a distance from him. But he came over, grabbed her wrist, and led her out of the bedroom to the sofa outside. The man took the medicine box from the cab and came to her. He was about to help her change the dressing. "Take off your clothes!" Calvin ordered when he opened the medicine box. "It''s so embarrassing. Just put it there. I''ll do it myself!" Seeing him taking the box, Jocelyn subconsciously tightened her clothes and didn''t want him to help her change the dressing. He was so clumsy that he was likely to hurt her. "I''m your husband. It''s my duty to take care of you, right?" Calvin said while ncing at her. "No... Thanks..." Jocelyn suddenly became a little scared. "Are you sure?" His tone was gentle, but Jocelyn felt that he was trying to mess with her on purpose. She didn''t dare to provoke him anymore, and was about to sneak away, but was held down by him. Next, the man helped her change the dressing. Of course, he wasn''t good at it at all. It seemed that he was deliberately torturing her. "Ah... It hurts..." "Don''t move." "It hurts too much! Stop right now! I don''t want it anymore... Let me go..." "Bastard... Ah..." Beatrice was standing outside the door. She heard the voiceing from the room and then left with a smile. It seemed that her clumsy son loved Jocelyn so much and finally found a right way to have sex with his wife. In fact, what happened in the room was totally different from what Beatrice imagined. After the dressing was changed, Jocelyn turned pale from the pain. The sweat was all over her forehead, and she leaned on the sofa and hadn''t recovered for a long time. Staring at his back, she kept cursing him silently. "You clumsy boy! It hurts very much." Calvin put back the medicine box, turned around and noticed that Jocelyn looked weak. Without saying a word, he directly carried her in his arms and went back to the master room. "Hey, put me down! I can walk by myself!" Calvin put her down on the big bed rather than on the sofa. His arm was just under her neck, and he didn''t withdraw his arm in time. It looked like he was imprisoning her in his arms. Calvin stared at the woman in his arms, forgetting to react for a moment. They were so close to each other and he could smell from her body the pleasant fragrance, which was lingering and seductive. He couldn''t help but want to get closer and closer... He never knew a woman''s lips were so soft, and he wanted to try them again. Jocelyn looked into his deep eyes. Seeing his stern face approaching her, she was so frightened that she got goose bumps. "What do you want to do?" Jocelyn raised her head suddenly, and bumped his nose with her forehead. Calvin gasped in pain. "You know what I want to do, right?" He didn''t let go of her, but suppressed her wrist and stopped her from struggling. To be honest, he was a little sullen. Anyway, he was the president of the Plexis Group and the richest man in the city. A lot of girls liked him very much. It was her honor that he was willing to kiss her. How could she resist? He must punish her to let her know whom she offended was. "What are you doing? Are you serious?" Jocelyn saw his cold eyes and became shocked. Was he about to force her to have sex with him? Suddenly, her skirt was torn. Calvin showed that he was not joking. Jocelyn was terrified, but luckily she had quick wits. So, she began to tell a lie. "Alright,e on. It''s my honor to have sex with you. After all, you are the most powerful person in our city. To be honest, I''ve slept with 23 men. If we have sex, you will be the 24th. Are you ready?" She lied to him on purpose because she wanted to take revenge on him. Calvin became wordless. The 24th man? He was irritated by her words. How could she dare unt her achievements to have sex with 23 men before him? What was worse, as the president of the Plexis Group, he was only the 24th. It was a shame! "Okay, you win!" This lie worked very well for a man with a virginplex. Thus, Calvin couldn''t wait to leave her. Jocelyn won! Looking at the back of the man who fled away, she couldn''t helpughing secretly. "You lose, Calvin. Let''s see if you dare to offend me again," she thought. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Jocelyn was finally safe, and she breathed a sigh of relief. When Calvin returned to the master room after half an hour, he found that Jocelyn had already fallen asleep. She didn''t sleep on the sofa but on the bed and stretched out. As a result, Calvin had no space to sleep. In fact, he wanted to sleep with her, but as long as he thought of the 23 men she mentioned, he flew into a rage. Well, he never wanted to touch her again! ncing at the sofa next to him, Calvin sighed. He had no choice but to live on the sofa. He was 1.9 meters tall, but the sofa was less than 1.9 meters. So, he had to curl his legs. If he turned over, he would likely fall. Damn it! This was the first time that Calvin felt helpless at home. The woman on his bed was to me! Calvin wanted to know her true color. If he had known that his wife was such a terrible woman, he wouldn''t have got married. Calvin had insomnia, and he couldn''t help but wonder who the 23 men were. He had asked Craig to check Jocelyn''s background information, but they were all very superficial files. He did not order an in-depth investigation into her privacy and ex-boyfriends. He must find out how many men she had sex with! ... Chapter 39 She Didnt Deserve Him Long Ago Chapter 39 She Didn''t Deserve Him Long Ago Chapter 39 She Didn''t Deserve Him Long Ago Early the next morning, Jocelyn was woken up by a thump. She got up, rubbed her eyes and found that Calvin had fallen off the sofa. She couldn''t helpughing. Calvin got up from the ground. Seeing Jocelynughing wildly, his handsome face was dark as if the sky clouded over and it would be rainy and windy. His cold eyes just nced at Jocelyn and left the room directly without saying a word, for he did not want to see her gloating look. With a quick tonguest night, Jocelyn upied the best ce, but she also offended Calvin because of it. After going downstairs in the morning, he had already left for work. In the morning, a car drove up outside. Jocelyn thought it was Calvin who came back, but it was Todd. Todd specially chose toe here when his cousin was away, carrying a lot of gifts and delicious food in his hand, all of which were for the children. On seeing Jocelyn, he immediately asked, looking concerned, "Jocelyn, how is your wound? Is it better?" "I feel much better now." Jocelyn was inevitably a little embarrassed to see Todd again. Thinking of what his mother had said to her, Jocelyn felt that it was time for her to make it clear with Todd. "Todd, I''d like to talk with you..." "Where are Tammy and Jeffrey?" Todd didn''t seem to hear her words. When seeing Tammy, he said excitedly to Jocelyn, "Oh, here comes my girl." He strode towards Tammy and shouted happily, "Tammy, do you miss Daddy?" Tammy ran over and threw himself in his arms. Her pink face wore a cute smile, "I miss Daddy, Tammy misses Daddy so much!" "Where do you miss me?" "Here, here, here, and here, all miss Daddy!" Tammy pointed at several parts of his body, and then kissed Daddy. Todd almost melted with joy, put a big bag of snacks into his daughter''s arms, and hugged Tammy, turned around and said to Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, I want to tell you that I have talked about our affairs to my Mom, and she also agrees that you bring the child back to the Garner family. When are you free, let''s take the child back together?" Todd''s face was full of joy, and it seemed that he didn''t know that his mother came to find her in private. Jocelyn shook her head and said, "Forget it! I have a lot of things to do recently. I will talk to you later." "Okay, let''s talk about it after I go to see Jeffrey and my little nephew." For the next time, Todd yed with the three children. It was not a good time for Jocelyn to talk with him. When the children went to y the naughty castle in the garden, Todd apanied the children and Jocelyn also followed. When the children were ying, Todd remembered what Jocelyn had said earlier, and asked, "Jocelyn, what are you going to say?" Facing the man''s sincere and burning eyes, Jocelyn sighed inwardly, "Todd, could you please stop coming to see us again?" "Why?" Todd asked in puzzlement with a stiff smile on his face. "I''m sorry, but actually I haven''t told you that I''m not tutoring Sean now, but..." "What?" Jocelyn subconsciously nced at the naughty castle in the distance, their conversation would not be heard by children, "But, Calvin and I are already married, and I am his wife now, so I can''t return to the Garner family with you, sorry." Jocelyn could only take advantage of Calvin''s rtionship. She hoped Todd was able to hold back all his emotions. "Married? With my cousin?" Todd was in an extreme shock. It was unbelievable. When did Jocelyn marry his cousin? She suddenly became his cousin-inw? No! N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. How could this be? "Jocelyn, you must be joking, right? This joke is not funny at all. Why do you say that suddenly? Don''t I know my cousin? He can''t marry a woman! Did I do something wrong, so you reject me on purpose?" Todd grabbed Jocelyn''s shoulder and questioned with a broken heart. "No, what I said is true, Todd, I''m sorry..." Jocelyn was also very sad. She knew that Todd was kind to her. They had yed together since they were children. She almost treated him like her own brother. She could not love him before, neither could she now. Even without Denise''s interference, she might not ept him, because they were too familiar with each other. "Why did this happen? Why? Why the man is my cousin? I..." Todd seemed to have been greatly shocked. He couldn''t believe that the woman he had been waiting for many years became his cousin''s wife. And he should call her cousin-inw? Todd looked a little anxious, smoothing down his hair. Thinking of the two children, he asked again, "What about the children? Don''t you want to give the child aplete family? "I marry Calvin. This gives the three children aplete family." Jocelyn forced herself to be cold, for she couldn''t give Todd any hope, and she didn''t want to hurt him either. He deserved better girls, and she didn''t deserve him long ago. "But, they are my son and my daughter! How could..." Todd''s heart was badly hurt. And he felt the feeling of losing his lover and children was no more than that. "I didn''t take a paternity test. Maybe they are not your children at all, Todd. I be like this. I am no longer the girl who in your memory, please forget me!" Jocelyn thought calmly. The man that night five years ago must not be Todd. She would recognize the man if he was Todd. And her two children were not like Todd at all. As what Denise said, maybe the children were not Todd''s at all, but a stranger''s. She had a rtionship with a stranger and gave birth to children. How could she deserve Todd? Todd''s eyes were wet, and his heart was hurt. He stared at Jocelyn''s calm face for a while, nodded and said, "I see, you never thought about going back to the Garner Family with me, did you? Is it because I am not as handsome as my cousin, not as rich as him, and not as good as my cousin, so you chose him?" Jocelyn smiled bitterly, and shook her head to exin, "No! Todd! I have neverpared you with anyone. In my heart, you were and will always be my best brother. I have always regarded you as my own brother. I hope you can understand!" If they could be together, there was no need to wait until now. Jocelyn kept saying in her mind, I''m sorry, Todd, you were fine, but I could''t be with you. Chapter 40 His Cousin Was Clearly A Love Thief Chapter 40 His Cousin Was Clearly A Love Thief Chapter 40 His Cousin Was Clearly A Love Thief After listening, Todd covered his eyes sadly. From childhood to adulthood, they built feelings for each other for more than 20 years. When she was a little girl, he took care of her. When she was a girl, he waited for her. She finally grew up, but chose Ernest. However, he was still waiting for her and never gave up on her and never forgot her. He thought that the night five years ago was a surprise from the God, but only now did he realize that it was just a dream. She didn''t take him into ount, never. "I''m sorry, Todd..." Seeing Todd was gloomy, Jocelyn''s heart hurt. Once again, she failed the love of Todd. I''m sorry... "Don''t say sorry, Jocelyn, I know, I''m not good enough..." Todd tried his best to restrain his emotions, and smiled bitterly at her. He nced at Jeffery and Tammy again. He liked them from the bottom of his heart and was loath to part with them. Even if they were really not his children, he was still willing to treat them as his own flesh and blood. But now, he didn''t have that luck. He could''t be the children''s father. Forcing himself to look away, Todd left disappointedly. Watching his figure silently walking away, Jocelyn''s eyes were filled with tears. "Mommy, why did Daddy leave?" Jeffrey just noticed that Daddy and Mommy seemed to have a conflict and was not happy, especially when Daddy left without saying goodbye, so he just ran over to ask. Jocelyn blinked her red eyes, and exined, "He has something important to do, so he goes back." Jeffrey had the same keen perception as an adult, and doubted what Mommy said, and asked, "Will Daddye to visit us in the future? He said he would take us home, Mommy, when will you take me and Tammy to Daddy''s house?" "..." Jocelyn really didn''t know how to answer the child''s words, so she just found a reason to prevaricate, "Jeffrey, you know that Mommy needs a lot of money to take the copyright of that film. Mommy is trying to find a way to raise money. Shall we talk about it after finishing this work?" "Mommy, do you find the way to raise money? You can tell Daddy directly, Daddy has money at home." Jeffrey was talking about Todd, but Jocelyn couldn''t borrow money from Todd, "I see, don''t worry about Mommy. Just enjoy yourself." Sean heard the conversation between Jocelyn and her son. Although the little guy was silent, he understood everything. Hearing that Ms. Murray needed a lot of money, he lowered his head slightly, pressed his lips together, and fell into deep thought. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. After ying outside, the children were taken back home by Jocelyn. When she returned to the room, she found a little guy following behind her. It was a little strange for her to find Sean following, "Sean, why are you here?" She still rememberedst time Sean came alone to specially gave her a band-aid, which showed that this child looked cold, but was very warmhearted. Sean walked in silently, and handed her a bag. Jocelyn asked curiously, "What is this?" Sean gestured for her to open it. Jocelyn opened it and found it was a big piggy bank. The little guy actually gave her his piggy bank? What happened? Could it be... Jocelyn remembered that when she was talking to Jeffrey in the garden, it seemed that Sean was nearby. Could it be that he heard it all and knew that she was short of money, so he gave her his piggy bank? Opening it from the bottom, she found that there were full of big banknotes inside, which seemed to be arge sum of money. "Sean, are these all your pocket money?" Jocelyn asked with a smile. Sean shook his head, and he gestured to tell her that it was the money he saved by himself by his father selling one of his paintings. Wow, Jocelyn just said that this kid has a talent for painting, and his paintings were also very valuable, unexpectedly they have already been sold for money. "I understands, thank you Sean, this is your treasure. Keep it yourself!" No matter how short of money Jocelyn was, she couldn''t take money from a child! But she started to think about how to sell all paintings of Sean, which should be worth a lot of money. Jocelyn didn''t take Sean''s piggy bank, but Sean seemed to have been hit hard, his mouth was deted, and he seemed to cry. Could it be that rejecting his kindness hurt his feelings? "Okay, Sean, don''t be sad, I ept it, thank you!" Jocelyn hugged the child''s little head and kissed him deeply, "Okay, go ying!" Sean suddenly got a big kiss, his eyes widened in shock. He didn''t know how he turned around and walked out of the room. He just felt that he walked lightly as if he was going to fly with joy. He didn''t have a mother, and had never experienced maternal love. When Ms. Murray kissed him just now, he felt so warm and happy in his mind. He really envied Jeffrey and Tammy for having such a gentle and good mother. He really wanted to tell Daddy that he liked Mr. Murray so much. If only Mr. Murray were his mother.... In the boxing gym Calvin wore a fist and exerted his strength to hit the sandbag. The man was bare-chested, revealing his muscr chest muscles and firm eight-pack abs. His body was covered with beads of sweat, and every inch of his honey-colored skin was bursting with sexiness, containing infinite power. However, his face was gloomy and cold, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura that no strangers should enter and no one should be shot or killed. The subordinates standing on the side didn''t dare to breathe. They all felt that something was wrong with Mr. Austin. Whoever provokes wound died. Everyone should keep a low profile so as not to be cannon fodder. Calvin was in a bad mood. He was still angry because of what Jocelyn saidst night, ranked 24th? He really wanted to pull out all the 23 men in front of him and beat them up severely. At this time, Todd came to the training hall. He had already changed into a set of white training clothes, put on ck gloves, and jumped onto the training tform. Without a word, Todd kicked down the sandbag that Calvin was hitting. Calvin''s fist missed, and when he turned round to see his cousining, his brows darkened a bit. It seemed that Todd should be Jocelyn''s first man? They knew each other so early, childhood sweetheart? So the two lovely children were also his? Just thinking about it made people jealous, and be mad! "Come! Fight with me!" Todd made a provocative gesture towards Calvin. Usually, they often practice boxing together. Although he was not Calvin''s opponent, today, he just wanted to fight him. At the thought of his beloved Jocelyn suddenly bing his cousin''s wife, his heart hurt so much. Obviously it was his cousin who took away his love Jocelyn, he refused to ept it! ... Chapter 41 Only Not Allergic to Her Chapter 41 Only Not Allergic to Her Chapter 41 Only Not Allergic to Her "You asked for it!" Calvin didn''t show mercy because Todd had walked right into him when he needed a sparring partner. Todd was so enraged that he punched Calvin in the face right away. "Are you married to Jocelyn?" he asked, his teeth clenched. "Yes, I am. So what?" Calvin punched Todd. "You knew how much I adored her! We''ve been friends since we were kids, and I''ve been hoping she''ll return for a long time now. Why did you marry her? Give her back to me!" Todd smacked Calvin in the stomach. Calvin swerved sharply andnded a left hook on Todd. "I have no idea how you feel about her! But keep in mind that she is now my wife. Even if you were my cousin, I couldn''t give her to you!" They continued to swing at each other, each blow sending the other reeling backward. They kept going until they werepletely exhausted. With blood pouring from his nose, Todd eventually copsed on the ring. Todd continued to exhale heavily. He stared at the man in front of him and said in a sad tone, "Can you treat her like a princess? I swear I''ll kill you if you treat her unfairly!" Todd wanted nothing more than for Jocelyn to be happy, even if he couldn''t have her. Todd decided to let her go despite his reservations. He was forced to choose between his cousin and the woman he loved more than anything else in the world. He prayed that his cousin would value the woman he had fallen for. "I will! You should stop thinking about my wife anymore. Calvin took off his gloves and led the way down the ring. They then went to Club Rapture to have some drinks. Ryder and Shamar noticed the strange vibe they were giving off. Calvin was silent, and Todd had also stopped talking about his family. They did nothing but drink quietly in awkward silence. "What''s the matter, Todd? Didn''t you say you''d pick up your wife and kidster? Why are you still here?" Ryder asked. Todd''s mood plummeted even further after hearing that. But he knew it was all his fault because he had told everyone he was getting married in the first ce. It was toote, no matter how much he wished he could take back what he said. Shamar looked closer at Calvin before asking, "What''s wrong?" "Nothing''s wrong. Stop talking to me!" On the other hand, Calvin was not in the mood for small talk and preferred to drink in peace. The thought of Jocelyn being with other men irritated Calvin even more. Calvin didn''t return to Fallcastle for the next two days, saying he had to travel for work. Jocelyn realized she had made a bad decision by offending Calvin in the final hours before the Mermaidshine auction began. She had a painful realization that Calvin was the only person she knew who could help her. She finally decided to ask him for help after much deliberation. Jocelyn needed to contact Calvin right away, so she asked Marcus for his number. She called Calvin a few times, but he didn''t pick up. Jocelyn suspected he still harbored grudges against her. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Jocelyn was stuck. She had no choice but to ask Marcus for help. "Marcus, do you know where Mr. Austin is right now? I need to know that!" "Yes. Please wait a moment." At this very moment, Calvin led a group of Plexis Group employees, including Craig, out of the company''s headquarters. They had only just stepped off the elevator when a barely dressed female worker suddenly bumped into Calvin and pretended to fall. She thought Calvin would have somepassion for her and stop to help her. Nheless, Calvin stood there without showing any emotion as the woman copsed at his feet. "Ouch! Wow, I''m sorry, Mr. Austin. Could you please help me?" In an obvious attempt to get closer to Calvin, that woman fell to the ground while striking a mermaid pose. In reality, however, she was a terrible performer. People who intentionally approached Calvin were nothing new for him to encounter. The cheap, overpowering perfume was one of Calvin''s biggest turnoffs, and he could not stand being around women who wore it like her. Even as she continued to act pitiful, Calvin avoided eye contact with her. He just seriously told the people around him, "Get this woman out of here. Don''t let her appear in front of me ever again!" "Yes!" When Craig saw the woman on the floor, he ordered the guards to remove her immediately. The woman kept screaming, clearly unwilling to leave, "Dear Mr. Austin, please pay attention to me. I love you! I really like you! You''re the only man I''ll ever love." The bouncers took her away anyway. Calvin removed his jacket and threw it away after he left the office. After getting into the car, Calvin noticed that his arm started to itch slightly. There were many rashes all over his body as he checked his arm. Calvin couldn''t help but frown. During his time with Jocelyn, he experienced no further allergy symptoms, leading him to believe that his condition had been resolved. However, he soon learned that his allergies had not been cured; he was only not allergic to Jocelyn. Calvin was irritated by the thought that Jocelyn imed to have dated 23 different men. In an impatient tone, Calvin rubbed his temples and asked, "What have you found out?" "I''ve checked what you asked me to find out. Actually, the group of 23 men you described does not exist. Miss Austen''s only known ex-boyfriend is Ernest Cloutier. But as far as I know, they never slept with each other. The detective discovered that Ernest Cloutier had been having an affair with Theresa Chavez before dating Miss Austen." Calvin was unsure how to react after hearing the oue. Since learning that he came in at number 24 on Jocelyn''s list of "Men She''s Dated," he''d been feeling down for two days. He sighed a sigh of relief when he realized it was all an borate lie. But the idea that Jocelyn had tricked him was making him irritable. With a calm face, Calvin persisted, "And who has she been with for the past five years?" He wondered a lot about Jocelyn''s whereabouts during those five years she had been hidden from public view. She made an unexpected announcement that she was leaving show business then. There were rumors that she had eloped with a wealthy foreigner, but nobody knew the truth. Ernest had stayed in the country for those five years. After announcing his split from Jocelyn on his own, he went public with his rtionship with Theresa. "So where exactly has Jocelyn been for the past five years? Who has she been with?" He thought to himself. "We know Miss Austin took a flight to Liurta five years ago, but there''s no record of what she did there. We don''t know much about her recent movements either, other than the fact that she came back earlier." "Really?" For some reason, Calvin found this very interesting. Whoever it was that managed to keep Jocelyn under wraps for five years, he couldn''t believe it. ... Chapter 42 Destined Lover Chapter 42 Destined Lover Chapter 42 Destined Lover Calvin was bewildered as to why Jocelyn was keeping her past from him. He got the impression that she had been through a lot those years. The less she told him, the more he was intrigued by her and wanted to learn more about her. "What''s she doing now?" Calvin asked, rubbing his chin. Before Craig could respond, however, Marcus interrupted with a phone call. After answering the phone, Craig covered the receiver and said to Calvin, "It''s Marcus calling. He told me that Miss Austin wants to see you right now. She probably wants to talk to you about the copyright auction. Would you mind letting her know you''re going to Mermaidshine tonight?" "Sure." "Please tell Miss Austin that Mr. Austin will be at Mermaidshine tonight," Craig said to Marcus. Jocelyn was delighted when she learned Calvin would be attending Mermaidshine that night. She then told Marcus, "Why don''t you send me there right now if he''s also going to be there? I need to see him as soon as possible and talk to him in person!" Jocelyn had everything nned: she would use Calvin to her advantage because she had married him. After all, he was a big shot in the first ce. It would be fantastic, she thought, if she could persuade Calvin to buy the rights to The Phoenix Queen. In addition, if the rights and the original creator were merged into one, it would be a lucrative business opportunity for Calvin. Instead of letting Ernest take advantage of the situation, Jocelyn would rather have Calvin work for this money. Marcus had the car ready soon. While he was getting ready to leave, she asked him to wait so she could change into her evening attire. After all, she was Calvin''s wife, so she decided to get dressed up before going to Mermaidshine to see him in case she embarrassed him. When Jocelyn arrived at the Mermaidshine building, the auction had not yet begun. There was a reception in Hall 2 where everyone who was waiting for the auction could mingle. Everyone had gone out of their way to look their best for the asion. While Jocelyn began searching for Calvin in the crowd, she instructed Marcus to do the same. However, before she found Calvin, Jocelyn noticed Ernest in the crowd. Ernest was dressed formally in a ck suit. He was drinking wine and chatting with wealthy businessmen, but he kept looking around the room for Jocelyn. He had a feeling Jocelyn would be there. Jocelyn turned around and ran back just as Ernest was about to spot her. However, she identally bumped into a man. "I''m sorry!" she said. "Jocelyn!" Jocelyn looked up when she heard a familiar voice and was surprised to see it was Todd. The previous two days had passed without either of them seeing or talking with the other. He appeared depressed and weathered. His once crystal-clear amber eyes had be cloudy and opaque as if frost had formed on them. Tears welled up in Todd''s eyes as he stared longingly at the woman he had missed so much. He appeared to be overwhelmed with a wide range of conflicting emotions. Nobody knew how much Jocelyn meant to him. Todd and Jocelyn were close as children because their grandfathers were friends. They spent a lot of time together at school and in the neighborhood since they were young children. He was willing to be Jocelyn''s best friend because he was very into her. He had a crush on her for a long time, but she eventually chose to date Ernest, who she broke up with before she moved out of the country. Todd had to keep his hopes up for a long time for her to finallye back. His heart broke when, upon her return, she quickly married his cousin without telling him. Two days of reflection left Todd still struggling to forget about her. He adored her and wished to marry her, but his top priority was to make her happy. Todd had no problem letting her go and blessing her if Calvin was the only one who could make her happy. "Todd, I..." Jocelyn was heartbroken when she saw Todd''s sadness. "You don''t have to cheer me up, Jocelyn. I''ve figured it out. Nothing makes me happier than to see you happy, so please know how much I hope you find it." Jocelyn immediately had tears in her eyes. Todd stood by her side, whispering in a voice no one else could hear, "It''s not a big deal. You don''t have to be worried about me, and you don''t have to feel sorry for me. I will continue to support, protect, and love you as I always have no matter who you end up with. I will always be your closest friend." The way Todd expressed his feelings for Jocelyn moved her deeply. She suppressed her sobs and fixed her gaze on him. Deep down, she knew she could never repay Todd for his genuine feelings, so she prayed to God to grant him a perfect life. They stared at each other silently, but many people soon approached them and greeted Todd. "Hello, Mr. Garner!" "It''s been a while, Mr. Garner." "Who is this lovely youngdy, Mr. Garner?" Everyone focused their attention on the stunning woman standing next to Todd. Todd didn''t want to show his true feelings in front of everyone because he wanted his love to remain a secret. "This is my friend Jocelyn Murray," he said, introducing her to everyone. Deep in his mind, Todd considered his "friend" Jocelyn to be his wife, the one he thought was destined to spend the rest of his life with. A real estate investor asked in surprise, "Is that you, Jocelyn Murray? Isn''t it you the actress who won the Bomia Award for Best Actress five years ago and then left show business? Gee! I never expected to see you again after five years. I must say, Miss Murray, you''ve only gotten more stunning with age." Jocelyn''s appearance and temperament had changed dramatically over the previous five years. They may not remember her face, but they do recall her name. The man reached out his hand to shake Jocelyn''s, but Todd stopped him. Todd made up his mind that he would shadow Jocelyn wherever she went tonight. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Todd helped Jocelynwork by introducing her to influential business people. However, she always had the distinct impression that someone was staring at her. When she looked up, she locked eyes with Ernest. He seemed like he wished he could kill her with his mean nce. Jocelyn was dressed in a long, white dress with a ruffled neck. The light reflecting off the tiny diamonds on the hem of her gown created the illusion of a gxy gently flowing over her, making her look like a goddess. The dress Calvin had purchased for her fit her so perfectly that it seemed custom-made. She looked stunning in it, as it entuated her slim, elegant form. She had a wless body. Jocelyn was dazzling and eye-catching, making it difficult for her to go unnoticed. Ernest smiled after he saw Jocelyn. He thought to himself, "Ah, there she is! It seems that my n is working." ... Chapter 43 She Wont Believe His Nonsenses Chapter 43 She Won''t Believe His Nonsenses Chapter 43 She Won''t Believe His Nonsenses Jocelyn''s beauty was obvious and incisive with perfect and delicate facial features. When she smiled, a pair of charming little dimples would appear beside her mouth. She deserved to be called the beauty with dimples. This might be the main reason why she could attract all men''s attention once she appeared. She had a magic power that could make people unforgettable. Ernest was waiting for the chance, staring at the glowing woman. When he first saw her, she was just 18 and was a little naive and immature. But five yearster, she had been a enchanting woman with unique beauty, like a beautiful blooming poppy flower. It was amazing. Having been suppressed and framed at that year, Ernest thought she would have committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Instead, she appeared again after five years. Who helped her escape from the dilemma at that time secretly? He had tried all approaches but still failed to find out who it was. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Now, looking at Jocelyn and Todd, Ernest knew that the Garner family and the Murray family had always been in good rtionship. He wondered whether it was Todd who helped Jocelyn? If it was Todd, then it was be very hard for him to get The Phoenix Queen back because of the coboration of Jocelyn and Todd. During the reception, Jocelyn was hit by someone, and the wine was sshed on her white dress. "You okay? Do you want to change clothes?" Todd asked. "No, I''ll go to the bathroom." Jocelyn said and left the reception. When she walked out of the Exhibition Hall 2 and reached the corner, dealing with the wine stain on her dress with her head down, she didn''t notice that someone was lurking nearby. Suddenly, Jocelyn''s mouth was covered by someone and she was dragged into a room. So many men were ready inside that Jocelyn had no chance to escape. She was tied up quickly and a rag was put into her mouth. "Hmm..." Looking at these men looked like bodyguards in front of her, Jocelyn had some ideas about who they were. They were probably sent by Ernest. What bad luck! She shouldn''t have left the reception alone! Soon, her guess was confirmed. Ernest entered the room. His face was gloomy and frightening. Aftering in, he asked all men to wait outside. He wanted to talk to Jocelyn alone. Seeing Ernest approaching her, Jocelyn frowned, struggled and whined, signaling him to let her go. Ernest stopped in front of her and looked down at her with a sneer, "Jocelyn, I''ve given you a chancest time, but you''re so stubborn that you refused it! You think I can''t do anything with you for you have the support of Todd? Listen, I''ve run out of patience. You''d better tell me where it is now!" Jocelyn turned her face away, telling him that she had no idea. Ernest pinched her chin and turned her face back, "Jocelyn, look at you now. You''re in my hand. Even if Todd finds you missing, he can''t find you. What do you think I should do with you? Huh?" Had he ever treated her well? The frame-up five years ago pushed her into hell. She had no choice and lived so miserably. He and Theresa hurt her so badly! It couldn''t simply be described as hatred! Jocelyn couldn''t say a word, so she just red at him. Her eyes turned red and were full of hatred. She wished she could kill the man in front of her! Ernest took out the rag in her mouth and began to throw out the bait. He said patiently, "I used to be your boyfriend anyway, so I won''t be that heartless. I can promise you that if you want to return to Icehive, you''re always wee. What do you think? Do you want to be a star again? I can help you. I''ll make you the same as before!" "Five years ago, I trusted you too much. I didn''t expect that you and Theresa would frame me together! What... Do you think I will trust you again?" Jocelyn was not moved, because she would not believe his nonsenses at all. Even if she could be the same as before, her wounds in the past wouldn''t be cured. Seeing Jocelyn''s refusal, Ernest pulled a long face again, "Don''t be silly! If you keep refusing me, I''ll drive you out of the city. Even if you want to be a star again, nopany will ept you!" "So what? Don''t think that Icehive is the only toppany!" Jocelyn was so stubborn that she refused to tell him anything about the source. Having tried all the ways, Ernest still couldn''t persuade her. He threatened her, "I''ll give you thest chance! If you don''t give it back to me! I''ll let someone take your naked photos and post them online! I''ll see how you can live in the city!" He was really despicable. How could he say such shameless words! Jocelyn red at him and said, "Ernest, even if you do so, I won''t give it to you! You shameless despicable viin!" "Don''t force me!" Ernest choked her neck in anger. Jocelyn soon felt short of breath. Help... Who could help her? ... In the VIP room of Mermaidshine, Calvin was ying cards with serval friends. Marcus entered the room and told Calvin that Jocelyn was here. Calvin said nothing but continued to y. Marcus had no idea about what Calvin was thinking about. Should he take Jocelyn here? Since Calvin didn''t say anything, he couldn''t make the decision by himself. So Marcus went back to find Jocelyn and protect her. Ryder heard what Marcus said. He knew that a woman came to find Calvin. He said, "Calvin, who''s that woman? Bring her here to distract you, then we may not keep losing" They had never won Calvin. They all doubted whether Calvin cheated. Otherwise, why was he so lucky and why he could win every time. At this time, Marcus went back worriedly. He told Calvin that Jocelyn was missing. Calvin stopped ying cards and left directly. "Hey, Calvin, are you leaving?" Calvin ignored him but left the room with Craig and Marcus. "He must have got the bad cards and don''t want to y anymore. Let me see!" Ryder thought that Calvin quit in purpose. He opened his cards and found that it was the best type. So scared was he that he patted his chest, "My god. Thanks to Calvin''s quit, otherwise I may lose my pants!" ... Chapter 44 The Man Was Damn Handsome When Fighting with Others Chapter 44 The Man Was Damn Handsome When Fighting with Others Chapter 44 The Man Was Damn Handsome When Fighting with Others In the lounge, seeing Jocelyn showed the whites of her eyes, Ernest released her. He didn''t want to kill her but just want to get the source of the new film. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Jocelyn kept coughing after regain her consciousness. Sat down in front of her, Ernest raised his hand and checked the time. There was still some time before the auction. "Jocelyn, why don''t we cooperate! I can make you be the producer and you''ll get half of the profit. I''ll announce that you''ll return to Icehive and hold a wee party for you. You can join Icehive as a shareholder. What do you think?" "I feel sick! You''ve hurt me so cruelly, and you still expect me to work with you? Stop being hypocritical and put your hypocritical face away!" Ernest was almost pissed off. He seized her shoulder crazily, shook her and asked, "Tell me! What should I do to get it back? Should I put a knife on your neck? Do you want to see that?" "Ernest, listen, if you want it back, send Theresa to prison now. I want her to suffer more than ten times as much as I do! In addition, I want you to turn yourself in at the police station! Tell them all your past crimes! Can you do it?" Hearing her words, Ernest kept silent for a while, then he sneered, "I won''t do that! Even if the new film is destroyed, so what? It''s nothing for Icehive. It can still run well. But it seems that you''ve forgotten that your contract with Icehive is still valid. You still belong to me ording to thew!" "I''ll cancel the contract." Jocelyn was too stupid at that time to be cheated by him and joined Icehive with a long contract. "Alright, then you need to prepare a penalty of 400 million dors. If you don''t have enough money, then give me the source of The Phoenix Queen. "Stop dreaming!" After all, he just wanted the film source. She wouldn''t give it to him. What could he do? "You bitch!" There was a ferocious look in Ernest eyes. He took out a spring knife, pushed out the de and stuck it on her cheek. "If you don''t cooperate, I''ll scratch your face and make you an ugly monster nobody wants! If you want to destroy me, I''ll destroy you." "Well, do it now! If I''m destroyed, you won''t live in peace. You know me, I can do everything! I''ll die with you!" With the determination of dying together with Ernest, Jocelyn didn''t submit to him. She had nothing to lose, so she wouldn''t be afraid of him. It was a psychological contest. The more determined Jocelyn was, the less Ernest dared do to her. Just when Ernest didn''t know what to do to Jocelyn, a bodyguard came in, "Mr. Cloutier, Mr. Garner was here!" Hearing this, Jocelyn wanted to shouted, "Mr. Garner... Hmmm..." However, Ernest wouldn''t give her the chance to call for help. He covered her mouth again and let someone lock her into the inner room so that Todd couldn''t find her. Todd came in. Seeing Ernest, he asked, "Mr. Cloutier, is Jocelyn here?" Ernest pretended to be cooking tea and looked up slowly, "Mr. Garner, you''re looking for Jocelyn. Why did youe here?" "She is missing, so I have to look everywhere. Sorry!" Todd nced around, and his eyes fell on the door of the inner room. "There is still a room inside, can you open it for me?" "She''s not here. You don''t believe it?" To dispel his doubts, Ernest opened the door of the inner room. Todd went in and searched through the room but didn''t find her. In fact, what Todd didn''t know was that there was an invisible secret door in the inner room, and Jocelyn was inside. Ernest''s man was holding a knife next to her neck so she dared not make a sound. Todd didn''t find Jocelyn. He could only leave here and go to search elsewhere. Ernest winked at his men and told them to watch Jocelyn. Now he had to go to the auction and he would deal with her when he came back. ... In the No. 1 auction hall, the auction began. People from all walks of life who were interested in the copyright of The Phoenix Queen were gathered here. Ernest, as the holder of the "subject" tonight, stood on the stage to disy the copyright of The Phoenix Queen and the specific creative content. Next, the auctioneer would host the bidding part. Looked around the hall, Ernest held such an auction in order to catch Jocelyn. Now he had caught Jocelyn, and he would let his man get the copyright with the highest price. So he got the film source as well as Jocelyn together. Then he would lock Jocelyn for some days and torture her. She would definitely give up. Just when Ernest thought he had won the game, Calvin appeared at the door of Ernest''s room with some men. If you asked him why he could be sure that Jocelyn was inside, he would tell you that it was his intuition! By his understanding of Jocelyn and the stories between her and Ernest, he could be sure that it must have something to do with Ernest. So as long as he could search through Ernest''s room, he could find something. "Mr. Austin, I''ll call the staff of Mermaidshine." Craig was ready to open the door with the key in a civilized way. "Too troublesome." Calvin stopped Craig and lifted his chin. Both Craig and Marcus understood stretched out their legs at the same time. With a "bang", the door was kicked open and fell to the ground. To save someone, this was the way he preferred! After entering the room, they found that there were only two bodyguards in the room. They were subdued by Craig and Marcus before they knew what was going on. Calvin noticed that the lounge was a suite, and there was an inner room inside. This time, he didn''t wait for Craig and Marcus but kicked the door open himself. The two bodyguards in the inner room had dragged Jocelyn out of the secret room. They didn''t expect that someone would break in. Seeing a stranger came in, they soon took out a knife and attack Calvin. Calvin fought with two bodyguards. Seeing Calvin was here, Jocelyn was so touched that her eyes were filled with tears. Finally, someone came to save her! It was Calvin! The man was damn handsome when fighting with others! The two bodyguards were just rookies. They were even not good targets for Calvin. He sent them down to the floor within a second. Jocelyn managed to get the rag out of her mouth at this moment. She cried excitedly, "Calvin!" Calvin nced at her. He didn''t know why. He cared about her very much, but when he saw her, he would think of her cheating him, so he felt a little angry somehow. Oh, he shouldn''t care about her. He should teach her a lesson! ... Chapter 45 How Cutesy She Was Chapter 45 How Cutesy She Was Chapter 45 How Cutesy She Was Thinking of this, Calvin just ignored her. He just nced at her in disgust and turned around. "Hey! Don''t go! Calvin! Mr. Austin! Honey... Don''t go, honey!" To stop the man, Jocelyn used all the addresses that she could think of. The "honey" had a long ending. How cutesy she was, and how sweet she was. Both Craig and Marcus heard it too. They were trembling to shake off the goose bumps. Jesus, Ms. Austin was being cutesy in front of Mr. Austin. They thought they would better leave first! Calvin wanted to ask someone to untie her, but when he heard Jocelyn''s cutesy begging, he stopped somehow and turned back. Seeing Calvine in, Jocelyn felt that she could be saved. She said, "Mr. Austin, are you still angry with me? Can I apologize to you? I didn''t mean to make you angry that day! As long as you help me out and take me out of here, I will never offend you again, OK? Please, Mr. Austin!" Calvin looked down at her with his dark eyes and said nothing. Jocelyn looked at him with her big and watery eyes. She kept begging, "Please, darling... Okay? I can promise you anything, okay?" "..." Actually Calvin wanted to ask what was wrong with the woman. Sometimes she could piss him off, but sometime she could make him distressed. With her coquetry, he was not angry at all. Well! He surrendered! He must owe her in hisst life! Calvin stroked his hair irritably, took a deep breath, and cut the rope for her. Jocelyn finally regained her freedom. She moved her hands and feet and found that her wrists and other parts had been marked red. Looking up at Calvin, Jocelyn felt grateful to him, "Mr. Austin, thank you. If it weren''t for you today, I''m done. You saved me. I will definitely repay you." "No need." Calvin didn''t dare to look at her. She was bright and charming enough. But now with the red marks on her white skin, she looked more attractive. With one more look, his heart might be out of control. He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jocelyn. To be exact, he was pulled back by her. "Even if you don''t need it, I''ll repay you! I don''t like to owe others." After saying this, Jocelyn kissed him. Calvin was so shocked that he froze. What was the woman doing? Did she kiss him? It was absolutely beyond his expectation! Calvin''s expression was so weird now, and he felt a little bit strange. The radio above had already announced the period of the auction. Jocelyn was afraid that the copyright would be taken away by others. Without thinking, she said, "Mr. Austin, could you please help me get the copyright? If you can get it, you can kiss me at anytime! Come on!" She even made a deal with him with kisses? Calvin felt that he had been desecrated. The woman could make a deal with kisses. It meant that she didn''t want to kiss him in fact. She just wanted to use him to get the copyright! Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. "Bo~" Since Calvin didn''t do anything, Jocelyn kissed him again. Whether he wanted it or not, she paid him in advance. He couldn''t return it anyway. "I have given it to you. You can''t back out. Please help me!" "Shameless!" How could this woman be so shameless? Calvin sneered, pushed her away and wiped his lips. He didn''t know where the anger came from, but it just couldn''t go down. He was so angry that he wanted to push her down and... The more he thought about it, the more he could not control his heart. Moreover, he found that she had kissed him twice, and his heart was in chaos. Oh...god! She kissed him. He said she was shameless and wiped his lips. Did he think she was dirty? For the first time in her life, she wanted to kiss someone, but didn''t expect to be rejected by him! Oh... Jocelyn couldn''t even look at Calvin. Was he really a man? Seeing Calvin strode out, Jocelyn soon followed him "Hey, Mr. Austin. What''s wrong with you. Do you think I''m dirty?" She pulled at his sleeve and was thrown away by him, as if she were the most toxic and harmful substance in the world and he did not want to touch her at all. Jocelyn was depressed, "Hey, Mr. Austin, you are so rude! Would you please consider the feelings of others? You are a man and I''m a woman. I didn''t care about it. Do you care much about it? I just kissed you. What''s wrong with you?" Calvin didn''t answer. There was nothing wrong with him. But he had reaction after being kissed by her. He always had strong restraint. But in front of her, how could his restraint copse? Calvin walked very fast. No matter what she said, he didn''t stop. Jocelyn kept chatting behind him, "Hey, hey, Mr. Austin. There must be something wrong with you and you need treatment!" The two came out of the lounge, and the radio above had announced the name of the final auction winner - Todd. "It''s over. Todd got it!" Jocelyn was so depressed that she shouldn''t have talked so much with Calvin just now. She wasted time and missed the auction. Thinking of the kisses just now, she felt that she had lost a lot. "Mr. Austin, return the kiss to me!" "Are you sure?" Calvin nced at her. Was she deliberately seducing him or she wanted him to kiss her? "Alright, forget it! I''m leaving!" Jocelyn was thinking about the copyright of the new film now. She would go to Todd and negotiate with him. Although she couldn''t get the copyright, she could cooperate with him. Anyway, she couldn''t rely on Calvin today. "Where are you going?" Seeing she was leaving, Calvin stopped her. "Mr. Austin, since you can''t help me, don''t stop me! I''m going to the auction!" Jocelyn pointed to the gate of Exhibition Hall 1, and didn''t want to spend any more time with Calvin. Calvin knew that the copyright was got by Todd. So she must go to Todd. But he didn''t want her to have anything to do with Todd. Moreover, if she went back to the auction site, did she know how dangerous it was for her? What a stupid woman! "Go back with me!" Calvin didn''t want her to find another man, and didn''t want her to encounter danger again. He grabbed her wrist directly and took her away from Mermaidshine. "Hey! Let go! Don''t pull me! I''m going to find Todd now..." To find Todd? How could he allow her to find Todd? ... Chapter 46 She Was So Worried About It Chapter 46 She Was So Worried About It Chapter 46 She Was So Worried About It Calvin''s face turned livid as he took bigger strides. He tugged Jocelyn by her arm, and she felt as if she were floating above the ground, not walking. Her high heels got caught in the hem of her long dress, and she almost tripped. "Ah..." Jocelyn fell, kneeling directly under Calvin''s suit pants facing his crotch. Calvin looked down at her, with an indescribable mixture of emotions on his face. The way she knelt down was so... He had never seen a woman so stupid that she tripped up when she walked. Either because he resented her dawdling, or his patience might have run out, Calvin picked her up without saying a word, carried her on his shoulder, and strode away from Mermaidshine. It was shitty. This was so fucked up! What the fuck was this? He resented her slow walking just now but was protective of her. He was acting kind of elusive! "Mr. Austin! You... you put me down..." No matter how much Jocelyn struggled, Calvin still carried her on his shoulder, instead of not putting her down, before he put her in the back of the car. Craig, Marcus, and all the bodyguards were all surprised when they saw their master carrying a woman on his shoulder for the first time! He was so badass! They all felt that Ms. Austin and Mr. Austin were a perfect match! On the way back, Jocelyn and Calvin sat side by side, and Jocelyn was absolutely seething. "Mr. Austin, do you know what gentlemanliness is? Can you be gentle with women? Don''t you think what you do is always overbearing and out of line? You have no regard for others'' feelings! I could only interpret that you''ve got problems with your character and manners!" After Jocelynined to him, she turned her head to the window and did not want to talk to him anymore. "..." Calvin was frustrated, wondering why she was so hard on him. It was like the story of The Snake and the Farmer! He kindly saved her, but she criticized him for being good-for-nothing, instead of thanking him. She even said he got problems with his character and manners. Damn it! However, he thought she was not right in the head! Jocelyn stopped talking to Calvin, and Calvin never wanted to talk to her again. They were deadlocked before they returned to Fallcastle in Tundra. Marcus opened the car door for Jocelyn, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Tammy running towards her happily from the front door. "Mommy..." Her daughter''s voice was tender and sweet. Jocelyn subconsciously opened her arms to greet her. "Tammy..." "Mommy!" Tammy jumped into her arms, excitedly rubbed her little cheek against her, and gave her a big kiss on the cheek! A kiss from Tammy cleared up all her depression today. The sweet daughter was the best at comforting her. Tammy cuddled with her mommy and noticed Calvin getting out of the car, but Calvin didn''t say hello to her but went straight past them and into the door. Hey, didn''t her daddy see her? Why didn''t he talk to Tammy? Entering the door hand in hand with mommy, Tammy looked up and asked, "Mommy, what''s wrong with daddy? He keeps a poker face! He looks like he''s angry." "Hum, yeah! He''s angry." Jocelyn snorted in her heart. How dare he be angry? To put it bluntly, Calvin was just too cocky and a real pisser! He should climb off his high horse! Tammy thought it was a good time for her mommy and daddy to be together and said, "Mommy, go make good with daddy!" "No way. He is a man, while I''m a girl. Why should I go please him? My little girl... you remember that there is a certain behavior that is expected of a girl, and you should let the boy entertain you. Otherwise, it''s very degrading, understand?" "Mmm." Tammy nodded as if she understood, but she was still very worried. Her mom and dad had only been together a short time. What should she do when her daddy was mad now? She hoped that her mommy and daddy would develop sincere feelings for each other. She didn''t want them to be angry and at odds with each other. Well, she was desperately worried! "Let''s forget about him. Just let him be pissed since he''s being so small-minded!" Jocelyn said to her daughter. Tammy shook her head and sighed in her heart, thinking that his daddy was screwed up! He was even more small-minded than a girl. When could he go to win her mommy''s heart? Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Oh... What a stupid dad. Tammy was so terribly worried about it! Jocelyn went upstairs to her room. Just as she entered the door, she heard the sound of water rustling in the bathroom, and couldn''t help but roll her eyes. Calvin was totally a neat freak. He actually took a shower as soon as he was back home. She just had just given him a kiss. Just before she sat down on the couch to have some rest, she got a call from Veronica, who asked her about the auction. Jocelyn leaned back on the couch and put her feet up. "Forget it! I''m so unlucky that I got caught by Ernest. Todd owns the copyright now." Veronica asked, "So what are you going to do next?" "I will talk to Todd sometime. He and I go back a long way, so I think I should be able to cooperate with him." Veronica remembered something and reminded her, "Oh right. Jocelyn, I overheard Ernest talking. He seems intent on getting you back to pick up some of the losses. You''re still under contract to Icehive Entertainment, and now he seems to try to exploit it." "I get it. Even if I make aeback, I don''t want to work at Icehive Entertainment and be disgusted by their true colors again." When Ernest persuaded her to sign a long-term contract five years ago, she thought it was a promise and guarantee he was giving her. Butter, she realized how foolish she was to have fallen for Ernest''s lousy trick. That long-term contract was just an unconditional indentured servitude! Ernest wanted her to continue working for Icehive Entertainment, but Jocelyn was not willing to ve away for them anymore. "We''ll see how things go. Let me know which entertainmentpany you want to sign with, and I''ll hook you up." "Okay, I''ll let you know when I think of it." After hanging up, Jocelyn called Todd, who had been looking for her and was worried sick. He was finally relieved to receive a call from her and know she was okay. Jocelyn offered to meet him tomorrow, and Todd agreed without a second thought. She had just put down her phone and was going to lie down for some rest when she turned around and saw Calvining out of the bathroom. There was something different about him who had taken a shower today. He put on a long ck bathrobe and was fully clothed instead of wearing a towel. Jocelyn gave him a brief nce and felt that he was right to dress this way. It was a good thing that he didn''t show his nice body, otherwise, she was afraid that she could not help herself! But then again, a man in good shape really looked stunning in anything! When he was wearing the ck bathrobe, he had a slightly mysterious and ascetic quality. He was very masculine, and manly, which made him more charismatic! Calvin walked into the room and looked straight ahead. He didn''t look at her from the beginning to the end, just ignoring herpletely. Was he still angry with her? ... Chapter 47 How Lovely He Was When He Took It Personally Chapter 47 How Lovely He Was When He Took It Personally Chapter 47 How Lovely He Was When He Took It Personally After taking a shower, Jocelyn went downstairs and brought over two dinners in passing, putting one of them on his bedside and asking, "Mr. Austin, look what this is. Your mother had dinner prepared for you, and I brought it up. Do you want some?" "No." Calvin leaned over the bed and concentrated on ying the game, not even raising his eyes, and his tone was gloomy. Was he so sulky that he even refused to eat? Was he angry enough and not even hungry anymore? Jocelyn was scornful of him inwardly but said nothing at all. She brought her dinner to the coffee table next to her, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Wow... Tonight''s dinner is delicious! I just smell it, and my mouth is watering! The cooks in the Austin family have great culinary skills." "..." Calvin didn''t bother to talk to her but thought in his heart the chefs indeed had great culinary skills. The chefs in the Austin family were some of the best he had hired from all over the world. Of course, their cooking tasted the best! An idiot like her was lucky to have such a delicious meal! Jocelyn started to gorge herself on the food. She muttered as she ate, "Wow, wow, wow. It''s so delicious! Mr. Austin, are you sure you''re not going to try it? It''s really delicious! The oatmeal is sparkling like pearls, fragrant and glutinous. And the steak is fatty but not heavy. It just melts in my mouth, and its flesh is quite delicious and exquisite. Oh, even the vegetables look like works of art. Well, You''re gonna regret this if you don''t eat it!" "..." He had already said he would not eat, but she was still babbling away. What a noisy woman! Calvin was so distracted by her noise that he simply turned his back to her, ying it cool and looking entirely inessible. Seeing Calvin like this, Jocelyn couldn''t help butugh. She suddenly felt that she and Calvin must have gotten their genders wrong. Why did she look like a man who was unceremonious and unstrained, while he looked like a female doormat? Jocelyn finished her meal alone and packed her trays to leave. "Mr. Austin, I''ve finished my dinner. Are you not going to have dinner? Don''t waste the food! It takes a lot of effort for farmers to grow food! Haven''t you heard of the proverb that farmers face difficult conditions to provide food, and the food should be cherished..." "Get out!" He was so annoyed by her noise! This time Calvin had zero patience and red up, throwing the pillow directly at her, but fortunately, Jocelyn caught it. He was actually still mad. She just forgot it and stopped messing with this overbearing man! Jocelyn just made stupid faces at him and left the room with her own trays. Calvin''s dinner was still on his nightstand. With the sound of the door closing behind him, Calvin finally turned around and made sure Jocelyn was sensitive enough to get out. Then he got out of his bed. He was no longer upset and was in a better mood. Looking at the food Jocelyn was raving about on the bedside table, he was tempted to try it. Calvin picked up a scoop and tasted a bite of oatmeal. It was really fragrant and glutinous, and then he tasted the dish, which was indeed very delicious. He felt strange. The chefs were still the same as before, and the meals were still the same ones he always ate. But why did he suddenly feel that the food today was much better than usual? When Jocelyn returned from taking out the trays, she saw Calvin still ying games on the bed. When she nced at the trays on the bedside table, she was surprised to find that all the food had been eaten, and even the soup had been drained. Well, didn''t he just tell her that he refused to eat? What was wrong with him now? The tes were as clear as if they were licked by a dog! Jocelyn really wanted to roll her eyes. She suddenly thought of an old saying that it was better to believe in ghosts than to believe what men said. It seemed that this saying was really true! Jocelyn silently gathered the trays and was ready to take them out before returning to rest. Calvin said gloomily, " "Don''t you have anything to say to me?" Jocelyn froze and gave him a puzzled look. "Say what?" Well, did she even forget about the 24 men? Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Calvin sat up cross-legged, his dark eyes staring at her sullenly, waiting for her to confess. Unfortunately, Jocelyn had already forgotten all about it and had no idea what he was talking about. "There are 23 men! I need you to tell me honestly who they are. I''lly my hands on you if you can''t tell who the 23 men are." Didn''t she like to make up stories? He wanted to see how she could do it. Jocelyn looked at his angry face, and after several seconds of silence, she wondered if he was still angry about her lie. He minded that she had dated 23 guys before, didn''t he? Calvin was so cute when he took it personally! Jocelyn wasn''t going to tease him anymore and exined with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Austin, I''m actually joking. I haven''t dated those 23 guys. I''ve ever dated only Ernest. And Todd and I have always been best friends. I don''t have a boyfriend other than you right now. You''re the only man for me." Was he the one man for her? She used the word too subtly, which soothed Calvin''s raging heart. And he was not very mad. With that icy look on his face, Calvin was quite happy in his heart. But he was so proud that he did not show it at all, his face remaining brooding. Even though she confessed, he still had to test her to see if she really wanted to be with him. "Forget about it. However, you lied to me, and that was actually breaking the agreement. I will ask Marcus to put you up in a house downtown tomorrow." Jocelyn was surprised and asked, "Do you want me to move out? And are we going to live separately?" "That''s right." Calvin''s dark, cold eyes fell on her. He wanted to see if she was going to beg him. Jocelyn was utterly speechless. Moving her out now would put her in danger. Ernest was not going to let her go! For the sake of her own safety, Jocelyn decided that she couldn''t leave the Austin family after thinking about it. She had to stay here for a while. "Mr. Austin, I''m afraid it''s not appropriate for me to live out here. We''ve just been married for a few days. If we live apart, it''s not gonna be good for Sean''s development. Sean has taken a long time to ept me. Besides, how will you manage your mother if I leave? How do you think she''ll feel if she finds out we''re separated?" In fact, what Jocelyn wanted to say was that there was no way he was gonna kick her out now when the ck-hearted bastard hadn''t given her $12 million yet! If he wanted to kick her out, he should give her the money! "You don''t have to worry about that." She was quite considerate to thinking of Sean and Calvin''s mother. Well, it seemed that she was quite sincere with him. With that in mind, Calvin felt that marrying Jocelyn was the absolute right choice. She should be a family woman. If Calvin had known that Jocelyn was only interested in the 12 million dors, he would have been furious. ... Chapter 48 He Was More Annoyed Chapter 48 He Was More Annoyed Chapter 48 He Was More Annoyed But Jocelyn could tell by Calvin''s tone that he was hurt. Jocelyn knew full well that she had to put her pride aside to get her hands on that $12 million. She ran up to him and said in a ttering tone, as if to negotiate with him, "Come on, Mr. Austin! Let''s talk it over! I swear I''ll never lie to you again. I promise to be honest with you and to speak to you from the bottom of my heart in the future. If I lie, I will burn in hell forever." It just so happened that a thunderstorm was rolling in at the time. Instinctively, Jocelyn let out a scream. She was so terrified that she threw herself into his arms. "One cannot lie, or one will soon meet karma." was the truth to her. Calvin took a moment to look at the woman in his arms before looking out the window. "Can I still believe what you just said?" he sneered. Because she was terrified of being struck by lightning, she realized she had no choice but tell the truth. Jocelyn raised her head from his arms with an awkward smile. She admitted, "I''ll bepletely honest with you. In fact, I just want to get the 12 million dors that our agreement stiptes. Now, as you can see, we are legally a couple because we have a marriage license. If you kick me out, I''ll be a divorced woman with no money. That''s not a good option for me." Jocelyn paused after finishing her sentence to ensure there was no thunder. "She wants to stay here not for my son, not for my mother, and even not for me. Obviously, she''s in it for the $12 million reward. That doesn''t make any sense!" He thought to himself. Calvin became enraged once more after hearing her tell the truth. Calvin became acutely aware of this truth: actors also enjoy acting in real life. She had no feelings for him and was only interested in his money. He didn''t see why he should reveal his true feelings for her when she was only interested in making a deal with him. He reasoned that this marriage would be better off as a straight partnership. Calvin restrained himself from throwing her out of his house from the window. He solemnly said, "Take your hands off of me and get out of my room now!" "Why?" Jocelyn asked. Calvin then took her hands off of him. "I don''t like sharing a room with anyone. You are wee to use the guest bedroom for the night." "But, your mom..." Jocelyn meant to say that Beatrice always walked up and down the hall. If Jocelyn was discovered sleeping in the guest room, she would be asked to return to the main bedroom. "You don''t need to worry about my mother''s opinion! Just mind your own business. And, don''t you make any more excuses to approach me? I''m not interested in you at all!" "What the hell? He''s not going to get mad again, is he?" Jocelyn thought to herself. Jocelyn was at a loss for what to do. She knew that telling the truth would enrage him, but she feared the karma resulting from lying. She felt trapped in a quandary. His t-out telling her he wasn''t interested in her made her feel like she''d been severely degraded. "Right, then. Let''s take a wager on whether or not you''ll develop romantic feelings for me." "No way! There''s absolutely no way I''ll fall in love with you." Calvin said immediately. Rtionships were his least favorite thing, so he was fairly certain he wouldn''t fall in love with her. "You don''t dare to bet against me, do you?" said Jocelyn. She didn''t want to lose to men, so she wanted to fight for the dignity of women all over the world. She decided to start by offering to bet with him. "Calvin, don''t be so sure of yourself! How do you know you won''t fall in love with me? I''m warning you not to be attracted to me! Or I''ll show you how much it hurts not to get the woman you want!" Jocelyn thought to herself. "Do I dare? Let''s bet!" Calvin doubted he could be easily swayed by her beauty. "Very well! Beginning today, both you and I will strictly adhere to the terms of our agreement. Nothing but a business rtionship will exist between us!" Jocelyn finally exited the bedroom, holding the nket and pillow in her arms and closing the door behind her. Calvin''s mood was not as calm as he had anticipated after Jocelyn left. But rather than rxing, his temper only red up. He feltpletely disoriented when she said that money was the only thing that mattered in their rtionship for some unknown reason. Calvin felt the cold air when he got up and left the inner bedroom the next day. He looked over and saw a woman curled up on the couch in the outside living room. He wasn''t expecting her to sleep here instead of in the guest room. She was sleeping in a less-than-graceful position, which made Calvin couldn''t help but frown. He approached her, kicked the couch, saying, "Hey! Wake up, Jocelyn!" Jocelyn woke up. She frowned as she tried to open her eyes. She felt sick all over, and her head was pounding. She realized that she was sick. She tried to rise to her feet but copsed back onto the sofa instead. She said breathlessly, "Mr. Austin..." Her tone was as soft as a newborn kitten''s purr. "What?" Calvin regarded her with suspicion, trying to figure out what she was up to now. She thought he would notice her illness as he got closer to her. The very next second, however, he yanked a book from directly beneath her, where it had crumpled. He asked angrily, "Why are you lying on my book?" To Jocelyn, the words were like a dagger thrust into her heart. Calvin forced himself to be cold and cruel to her and deliberately turned a blind eye to her illness. "Don''t ever touch my books again!" If Jocelyn had the strength, she would have given him the finger. She secretly thought he was the biggest jerk in the entire universe. "What, can''t he see how sick I am and how much I am struggling? Huh?" She thought to herself. Jocelyn took hold of the hem of his bathrobe and softly said, "Oh, my brain! I feel so awful!" "You asked for it!" Calvin stepped back and yanked on the hem of his bathrobe. He could tell she was attempting to deceive him. He knew she was up to no good when he stepped outside and felt the icy chill. With its dependable air conditioning, his house maintained an ideal body temperature. She would not have caught a cold if she had slept with a small nket at that temperature. However, she took it upon herself to lower the temperature and make herself sick. He was certain she did it on purpose. Everything Jocelyn did appeared to be deliberate, in his opinion. He realized she had faked her illness on purpose to win his pity. She tried to charm him and make him fall for her due to the wagerst night. Calvin knew he couldn''t buy it.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. He was ready to keep his distance from her. He also decided that no matter how she tried to trick him, he would not fall into her trap. "Mr. Austin! I''m really having a hard time. Look, I have a fever!" Jocelyn was running a fever, so her cheeks were burning red. She looked up at him pitifully with her big, teary eyes, hoping to elicit somepassion. ... Chapter 49 Busted Chapter 49 Busted Chapter 49 Busted Calvin would be cruel to everyone when he became ruthless. He gave her a cold stare and said with a nonchnt grunt, "Stop acting pathetic! I know that you turned down the heat on purpose to make yourself sick. You think I''ll feel sorry for you now, don''t you? You wish!" "Damn! He figured out my trick?" thought Jocelyn. His piercing stare was fixed on her. Jocelyn avoided him rather than looking him in the eyes because she knew she was guilty. She had been up all night nning a trick, but he saw right through it in a single sweep. Jocelyn was enraged because she had never met a more cunning and clever man than Calvin. "Stop acting! Get up!" Calvin then proceeded to the restroom. Jocelyn had run out of options. She reasoned that since Calvin wasn''t showing her affection, she could seekfort from her two children. Jocelyn rose from the couch and walked groggily to the kids'' room, her hand resting on her brow. Jocelyn walked right in after opening the door. The sound of the door opening jolted Jeffrey awake. He got out of bed when he looked up and saw it was Jocelyning. "Mommy!" Jeffrey yelled, rubbing his sleepy eyes. "My dear Geoffrey!" Like a wandering soul, Jocelyn entered the room and sat down on the couch. Jeffrey realized there was something wrong with Jocelyn. "Mommy, are you okay?" he asked, running up to her barefoot. "My head aches!" Jeffrey reached out his tiny hand and ced it on her forehead as if checking for a fever. Then he yelled, "Ah! Mommy, your brow is scorching! You''ve got a fever!" "That''s right." "Don''t worry, mommy. I''ll take care of you! You can lie down in my bed." Tammy also awoke. She jumped out of bed, ran over to Jocelyn, and asked, "What''s the matter, Mommy? Are you all right?" N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. "Well, I might have a fever." "Your head is so hot! Here, please lie down on my bed. You should get some rest." Tammy touched Jocelyn''s hot forehead before bolting out of the room, hoping that Calvin would look after her mother. Jocelyn was ovee with emotion that she was almost on the verge of tears. She pondered, "My children are the only people who truly care about me! Everyone else appears to be untrustworthy, especially my husband Calvin. He doesn''t give a damn about me!" Tammy didn''t find Calvin in his bedroom, so she returned downstairs. Tammy noticed Calvin and Beatrice in the first-floor dining room. She dashed up to them and yelled, "Oh, Mr. Austin! Grandma Beatrice!" "What''s the matter, Tammy?" Beatrice was surprised to see Tammy still in her pajamas. The two kids would typically get up and ready for the day on their own, which was why Beatrice found Tammy''s reaction so peculiar. "Grandma Beatrice! My mommy has a fever. Pleasee and see her!" In a panic, Tammy grabbed Beatrice''s hand and tried to lead her upstairs. "Your mommy has a fever?" Beatrice asked, surprised. "Does Jocelyn have a fever?" she asked Calvin, who was eating his breakfast elegantly. "Yeah," Calvin replied without any expression on his face. Beatrice couldn''t help but be irritated: Calvin''s wife was ill, but he was sitting there alone, eating like a king. Beatrice had just asked him for Jocelyn''s absence from breakfast, to which he replied that she would arrive shortly. On the other hand, Tammy showed up to break the news that Jocelyn wasn''t feeling well. Beatrice interpreted this as an indication that her son was not yet as dependable as a child. "What do you mean by that? You should check on Jocelyn to see how she''s doing. Why don''t you ask her about her condition and if she needs a doctor?" Beatrice asked anxiously. Calvin happened to finish his breakfast at this time. He left the table after raising his hand to check his watch. He said to Beatrice, "I have to get to work, Mom. The meeting I have in the morning is crucial to the company. If you are worried about Jocelyn, you should have Shamare by and check on her." He walked away from the situation as if he had nothing to do with it. Beatrice yelled in anger, "Stop right there, Calvin!" Calvin turned around to look back as he retraced his steps. "What''s wrong, Mom?" he asked, puzzled. "I have no idea what you''re thinking. Do you want to go to work when your wife is sick? If you lose her, the money you earn will be useless! You should listen to me and go upstairs right now to take care of your wife! Don''t leave the house until she''s healed!" Beatrice gave Calvin orders. In her mind, she questioned, "What a nerd! What exactly do I need to do to make his marriage work?" "Mom!" Calvin felt a mental breakdowning on. He knew what Jocelyn was thinking too well: all she had done was make him feel pity for her. She had pretended to be ill, but he had to stay and care for her. He swore he would prove to everyone that she was a liar! "The truth is, Mom, Jocelyn is perfectly healthy. She''s just acting sick to get attention." Calvin wished he could tell his mother to ignore Jocelyn because she mighte downstairs for breakfastter. But before he could continue, Tammy interrupted, "No! My mother is really having a fever. Her forehead is hot like fire." Tammy said this to prove her mother''s innocence. Beatrice said, "Did you hear what Tammy said, Calvin? Jocelyn wasn''t lying! You should go see her anyway! I''ll jump off this hill if you go to work today!" Shock swept over Calvin. He had no idea his mother would go to such lengths to get him to do what she said. Calvin began to feel profound regret for having asked Jocelyn to marry him. He realized he had gotten himself into a lot of trouble. Seeing that Calvin was still there, Tammy ran over to him and said, "Daddy,e on! Go see Mom!" Calvin was forced to go back upstairs. Jocelyn was lying in bed in the kids'' room. She appeared to have a fever, with her face flushed and her eyes closed tightly. "Daddy,e and feel Mommy''s forehead! Isn''t it hot?" Tammy took Calvin''s hand in hers and ced it on Jocelyn''s brow. When Calvin turned around, he noticed Beatrice staring at him. He feltpelled to approach Jocelyn''s bed and ce a hand on her head. He could feel the warmth radiating from her head when his hand touched it. He could only assume at this point that she had a fever. "You have a fever. I''m calling Shamar right now." Calvin quickly dialed Shamar''s number and left the room after the call. Beatrice stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?" "I''m going to get the thermometer from my room." Calvin exined, in case his mother would think he was running away. ... Chapter 50 Jocelyn Got What She Wanted Chapter 50 Jocelyn Got What She Wanted Chapter 50 Jocelyn Got What She Wanted "You don''t need to get the thermometer! Why don''t you take Jocelyn back to her room? I can''t imagine how ufortable Jocelyn feels in Jeffrey''s tiny bed." Beatrice appeared worried. "Calvin, howe you don''t know how to take care of a girl at all?" she wondered. Calvin had no choice but to carry Jocelyn back to his bedroom and ce her on the bed. He began taking her temperature after finding a thermometer. Upon learning that Calvin would stay in the room with Jocelyn, Beatrice left with Tammy and Jeffrey. "Calvin, please take good care of Jocelyn. I''m going to give the kids a bath." "Got it." Calvin realized that Jocelyn''s n had worked. She''d gotten what she desired. Just before she left, Tammy told Calvin, "Please, Daddy, take good care of Mommy. Don''t you go away! I''ll be back in a bit to see how you''re doing." On the other hand, Jeffrey appeared to be doubtful. The way Calvin used the thermometer wrong gave Jeffrey the impression that he waspletely unqualified to take care of anyone. Jeffrey even wanted to invite Todd, which he thought was his biological father, over. Calvin sighed heavily after they left. He stared at the woman on the bed. When he saw how much she hurt, he felt conflicted. He rarely cared about anyone else because he was always the center of everybody''s attention. Beatrice raised his son, Sean, for him. He was responsible for looking after Jocelyn but had no idea how to go about it. He reached for the thermometer after some time had passed. She was running a temperature of 39.6 degrees, he discovered. Her fever was quite severe. Calvin called Shamar again. While on his way, Shamar instructed Calvin to cool Jocelyn''s forehead first. "Put an ice pack on her forehead first if you have one." After hanging up the phone, Calvin got an ice pack and ced it on Jocelyn''s head. Jocelyn was disoriented due to her high fever, so she kept mumbling, "Don''t go..." Calvin noticed her lips moving but had no idea what she was saying. He moved closer to her so he could hear her words clearly. "Don''t leave me, Mom!" When he heard her screaming, "Mom," he knew she had a dream about her mom. She cried out, "Mom, don''t go," and her face clearly showed pain. On the day her mother passed away, Calvin suddenly recalled, she sat alone on the balcony, looking lonely and sad. In her dream, Jocelyn saw Helena was leaving. She desperately wanted to hold on to her, so she kept scratching at thin air. Calvin had no idea why he reached out to grab her hand. In her dream, Jocelyn grabbed her mom''s hand. Her head held high, and she begged her mother repeatedly to stay. "Don''t leave me, mommy! Don''t leave me alone!" Calvin saw that she was upset. There was moisture on her eyshes, and a tear trickled out of one of her eyes. Calvin''s emotions were all over the ce after he saw Jocelyn cry. Even though she was usually unbreakable, he couldn''t help but sigh at her frailty. Jocelyn dreamed that she was clinging desperately to her mother''s hand. She remembered some happy memories of her childhood. As a kid, she always dressed like a princess and ran around the garden in her pretty dresses. Her mother would sit nearby and knit sweaters to keep herpany. Other memories she thought about brought back the pain. Helena''s smile faded as she fought with Jocelyn''s father more and more. Jocelyn one day found her mom sobbing quietly on the bed''s edge as her dad left the room in anger with a jacket in hand. They started fighting more and moreter on. Her father not only insulted Helena but also hit her. One day, Jocelyn found her mother in the bathtub soaking in blood. Helena never woke up again. "Mommy, don''t die! Please, for the love of God, open your eyes and take a look at me!" The day Jocelyn realized she could no longer wake her mother forever changed her. The sight of the blood hurt her eyes and her feelings. Jocelyn appeared to be in extreme pain. Calvin pondered what she could have dreamed about that would cause her to cry. He reached out, for some reason unknown to him, and wiped her tears away. Shamar entered Calvin''s home and immediately made his way to the bedroom. The bizarre scene he saw surprised him. "What am I looking at? Calvin has never been with a woman! Does he want to take advantage of this girl while she''s sick? Or is he taking care of her?" Shamar thought to himself. "Hello, Calvin!" The sudden sound of Shamar''s voice startled Calvin. Instantly, he straightened up and pulled back his hand. Once Calvin realized what he had done, he raised his fist in embarrassment and coughed several times softly. "The timing couldn''t have been better! Hurry up and take a look at her." Shamar dropped his medical kit and started checking Jocelyn as soon as he entered the room. After making the diagnosis, Shamar told Calvin that Jocelyn''s fever was due to a cold. He gave her a prescription for cold and fever relief and assured her that she would feel better once she started taking it as directed. Still feeling bewildered, Shamar surveyed Jocelyn once more as he packed up his medical kit.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. On numerous asions, Todd had brought up Jocelyn in front of them. But not only did this woman never leave Calvin''s side, but she also lived at his house. He was curious about what was going on between the three of them and how Jocelyn could be involved with two men at the same time. Shamar didn''t dare ask any questions about that. He only said, "Calvin, I''ve noticed you''re getting more and morepassionatetely. You even know how to take care of a girl! Congrattions on your significant progress!" "Fuck off!" Calvin kicked Shamar right in the ass. He only looked after Jocelyn because his mother made him. "Fine! I have to get going." Shamar thought of an important thing as he was leaving. He said, "Oh, by the way, Calvin, we got a new lead from Star Alliance." Calvin said seriously, "What?" Shamar said something into Calvin''s ear. Calvin''s expression became more serious as he listened, and his gaze became more ferocious. Calvin was in charge of the Star Alliancework of information providers. He formed this alliance to find out who murdered his father and brother back then. He nned to use the clues to find the murderers and exact revenge. ... Jocelyn woke up in the afternoon. Both her fever and the headache had subsided. As she struggled to get up, she was surprised to find herself in Calvin''s bedroom. "What? I thought I had fallen asleep in the kids'' room!" Jocelyn thought to herself. Jocelyn then heard someone typing on a keyboard. She saw Calvin sitting on the couch beside her, tapping hisptop. "Hmm? Why is Calvin here? How could he put up with my sleeping in his room?" In a surprise, she thought to herself. ... Chapter 51 You Should Care Less About It Chapter 51 You Should Care Less About It Chapter 51 You Should Care Less About It Jocelyn couldn''t figure out what was going on. She chose to leave, though, in case she pissed him off and got kicked out of the house. Then, all of a sudden, she remembered that she and Todd had made ns yesterday to meet this morning. She checked the quartz clock on the wall, which showed it was already 2:00 p.m. "Oh my goodness! I slept for so long! Now that I stood him up again, he must think I''m making excuses!" Jocelyn thought to herself. Jocelyn decided to get up and meet Todd because she was feeling better. Calvin looked up when he heard her move. He asked, "Where are you going?" when he saw that she was getting out of bed. Jocelyn cast a nce toward the door. Because she was afraid to admit she was nning to meet another man, she made an excuse and said, "I''m going to the bathroom." Calvin asked suspiciously, "Can you do that by yourself?" "Howe I can''t do it on my own? Why do I need someone to help me pee?" Jocelyn said as she walked toward the door. She no longer had a fever but was still feeling under the weather. She was so frail that she had to cling to the walls for support as she walked. She''d only taken a few steps when she felt like she was floating. Calvin carried her to the bathroom and set her down on the toilet before she had a chance to react. Jocelyn didn''t regain consciousness until he left the bathroom. She realized he treated her like a frail patient. She was unable to decipher his thoughts. Having been ignoring her and acting like he didn''t see her the whole morning, he was suddenly pleasant to be around. His erratic behavior puzzled her. Jocelyn washed her face after using the restroom and then applied light makeup to make herself look refreshed. She then prepared to leave the house after she got dressed. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she was surprised to see Calvin waiting outside. After seeing how well she was dressed, he asked, "Where are you going now?" "I have to go out," Jocelyn said as she felt obligated to inform him of her schedule. "What are you going to do?" Calvin asked while sizing her up. Even though her fever was nearly gone, he worried she was still too weak to go out. "I''ve already wasted the morning taking care of you. But why do you want to go out as soon as you feel a little better?" he thought to himself. "I have to go see a friend," Jocelyn replied. "Is your friend a dude or a woman?" His detailed question caught Jocelyn off guard. Jocelyn was worried because they had agreed not to meddle too much in each other''s lives. "A guy." Jocelyn knew Calvin would be upset if she revealed she was meeting Todd, so she didn''t have the guts to tell him. Calvin frowned and turned to face her when she said she was going out to meet a man. She looked lovely in her beige gown and bare makeup. She was as delicate as a Victoriandy, and he had an overwhelming need to be by her side and protect her. He hadn''t expected her to get all dressed up for a date with a man. He thought to himself, "Have you forgotten what yourst name is now?" Calvin was jealous, but he pretended it didn''t bother him. He said thoughtfully, "Your fever has gone down, but you''re not over your cold yet. You should stay at home and have some rest." "I''m all right now. I''mpletely recovered." Jocelyn subconsciously nced at the clock on the wall because she needed to leave the house immediately. Calvin could tell she just wanted to get rid of him and leave the house. He walked over to her, closed hisptop, and shoved it into her arms. "Hold it!" "What? Ah!" She was caught off guard when he abruptly shoved the heavyptop into her arms, so she fell to the ground with it instead of holding it. Calvin reacted swiftly, catching theptop a split second before itnded on the ground. He grabbed her cor and lifted her at the same time. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Is it true that you feel fine?" Calvin regarded her with disdain and pushed her toward the room. "Go back to your room and lie down! You''re not going anywhere until you feel better!" Jocelyn was speechless. She thought to herself, "Calvin, you bastard. Don''t you think you should care less about my personal life?" Because Calvin pushed her into the room, Jocelyn was forced to return inside and lie down. She figured that since she couldn''t meet Todd, she should at least send him a message to reschedule their date. Unfortunately, Calvin snatched her phone as soon as she held it. "Hey! What are you doing?" He handed her a thermometer before she could finish her sentence. Calvin had a serious expression, and his movements were a little rude. He identally poked her arm with the thermometer because he wasn''t paying attention. Jocelyn, however, was somewhat surprised that she felt he genuinely cared about her. Something from her childhood returned to her. Her mother would take her temperature with a thermometer whenever she was ill, just as Calvin had done for her. She suspected that Calvin was concerned for her well-being. Jocelyn had no idea what Calvin was thinking or why he was so nice to her all of a sudden. She thought to herself, "Didn''t you swear that you''d never fall in love with me?" "Mr. Austin, are you being so nice to me because I''m sick, or is it something else?" Jocelyn asked. She was desperate to know the answer because she was curious about Calvin''s feelings for her. "You are overthinking. I''m only here because my mother made me!" Calvin interrupted her with a nk expression. He remembered the bet they made, so he refused to admit the real reason why he took care of her. He didn''t want to lose the bet from the bottom of his heart because thest thing he hoped was to let Jocelyn be the one to win. "Oh, I see." Jocelyn realized she had been overthinking the situation after learning that he cared for her because of Beatrice. She admitted that she had thought too highly of herself earlier. Also, she knew that Calvin would kick her out of the house once she recovered. Jocelyn then began to consider where she should settle next. She asked, "By the way, Mr. Austin, you said you would find me an apartment in the city. How''s that going? Where is the apartment?" "When did I ever say anything about finding you an apartment?" Calvin asked, raising an eyebrow. "Huh? Have you forgotten about that, or did I remember it wrong?" Jocelyn thought to herself. Suspecting that he had forgotten about it, Jocelyn reminded him, "You said it yourself herest night. Did you forget about this?" "I don''t remember saying that. Why do you keep bringing this up?" Calvin had no ns to help her find a house recently. For one thing, he knew his mother would never let Jocelyn move out. And if she lived alone, she''d be able to see other men behind his back every day. Calvin reasoned that having her live with him would be the best way to keep her from seeing other men. "But you said you''d find me a ce to live! How could you have forgotten? Does this mean I won''t get kicked out of the house?" Jocelyn thought to herself. She beamed with relief, thinking it was worth it to be sick. Calvin changed the way he treated her simply because she had a fever. Jocelyn asked again, trying to figure out where she should stayter, "Now that I don''t have to move elsewhere, where am I going to sleep? Do you want me to sleep in your room or the guest room?" Chapter 52 It Was Okay With Him Chapter 52 It Was Okay With Him Chapter 52 It Was Okay With Him "You wish!" After what happened this time, Calvin decided not to let her sleep outside the bedroom again. He reasoned that if she got into trouble or became ill again, he would have to stay home every day instead of going to work. He was determined to keep her under control to prevent this from happening again, as she had already caused him enough trouble. "Where should I stay then? The guest bedroom?" "You''ll be sleeping in my bed from now on!" Calvin motioned to the king-size bed in the main bedroom. He reasoned that if he wanted to keep Jocelyn, the troublemaker, from causing more chaos, he would have to give up some things. He was willing to sacrifice his bed or his wallet to help her. Jocelyn was surprised when he told her he was giving up his bed to her. "How generous of you to let me sleep in your bed! Where will you be staying?" Jocelyn asked, her large, beautiful eyes wide with surprise. "I think I can sleep on the couch," Calvin said, pointing his chin toward the couch. "My goodness! Are you serious? Wouldn''t you mind spending the nights on the couch? "Jocelyn thought to herself.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. She wondered what excesses she hadmitted to cause him to be willing to give her his bedroom. Jocelyn realized that she had gone too far this time because she had even let Calvin make a lot of compromises. Jocelyn knew she couldn''t ask for too much from him. She suggested, after some thought, "How about we share this bed? I''ll take the right side of the bed, and you can have the left. We won''t be bothered by each other in this way. What do you think?" This strategy appeared promising, but Calvin was too familiar with Jocelyn to put his trust in her. He was aware that she always slept in an awkward position and that it was difficult for her to sleep still. He wasn''t confident that they could share a bed without causing each other difort. Calvin was skeptical. "But what happens if you cross the line?" She had never met a man with such integrity, but she thought it odd that he asked a question she was supposed to ask. Jocelyn then came up with a reasonable punishment. She suggested, "If anyone gets caught going over the line, they''ll have to make breakfast for the whole family for a day. Also, the punishment is cumtive. For example, if that person is caught crossing the line twice, they must prepare breakfast twice. We can use photographs as evidence. We''ll use pictures as proof. What do you think of that?" "That''s a good idea." Calvin agreed right away. He took off the thermometer and began reading the scale in the light. Jocelyn turned her head slightly in his direction. Even though he seemed to have a faint golden glow from the warm light, he looked still as icy and unapproachable as ever. She thought he was handsome from the bottom of her heart and possibly the most handsome man she had ever seen. Just looking at his face would bring her joy. After checking the thermometer, Calvin told her, "You don''t have a fever anymore." "Really? Why is my face still so hot?" Jocelyn asked after using her palm to feel the temperature of her face. "That''s because you''re too cheeky to let the heat out of your head." Calvin pointed out the "harsh truth". Jocelyn cursed him in her mind. She couldn''t think of anything to say. Calvin''s rude remarks always irritated her, and she thought he was the meanest person in the world. She rolled her eyes at him because she was sick of their conversation. Her stomach then gurgled as she felt a sudden pang of hunger. "What''s that sound?" Calvin asked when he heard it. "I''m hungry." Jocelyn blushed as she exined. "Wait a minute. I''ll let them bring you dinner." Calvin called a maid to let her prepare something for Jocelyn to eat. The maids quickly brought Jocelyn lunch, and they all went into the bedroom with the three children. Jeffrey ran to his mother''s side and asked, "Mommy, are you feeling better?" Tammyy on the edge of the bed as well. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Mommy, does your head still hurt?" Sean stood next to Tammy. He couldn''t speak, but his eyes revealed that he was concerned about Jocelyn and that he also wanted to know if she was feeling better. "I''m fine now, and my head doesn''t hurt anymore. Thank you for caring about me, my dear." Jocelyn felt delighted after learning that the kids were all concerned about her. Tammy felt relieved. She patted Jocelyn on the stomach and said, "Mommy, hurry up and eat! You''ll be energetic after you have lunch." "Okay." Jeffrey gave Calvin a disgruntled look, as he didn''t believe he could be of any help here. "Mommy, should I ask Daddy toe see you?" he couldn''t help but ask Jocelyn. Jeffrey had promised Jocelyn that he would never contact Todd at his will, so he would always ask her permission first. "No, please don''t let him know that. I just had a fever. We don''t need to tell him about it." Jocelyn brushed off Jeffrey''s thoughts while secretly thanking him for not calling Todd without permission. Calvin would have been enraged if Todd had arrived. Jocelyn was eager to eat after the maid delivered her the meal. After a moment of thought, she looked at Calvin, who was standing by her bed and said, "Gee, my bowl is so heavy. I can hardly hold it." Jeffrey didn''t hesitate to extend his little hand to her and say, "Mommy, let me help you." "No, thanks, honey. You can''t hold it either." Calvin didn''t move at all, so Jocelyn nced at him again. The three children all turned to face Calvin at the same time. Sean''s face was contemptuous because he thought his father was clueless when it came to caring for others. "Daddy! Aunt Jocelyn is sick! She doesn''t even have the strength to hold her bowl. Why don''t you help her? You''re such an idiot!" Sean thought to himself. Jeffrey kept silent with a nk face. Tammy finally tilted her head and asked innocently, "Daddy, can you help Mommy? She doesn''t feel well." Jocelyn believed the three kids could take better care of her than Calvin. She waited for him to feed her, but he only stared at her with his hands in his pockets. The way he looked at her meant that "Nice try! You''re a good actress, but you should stop pretending to be vulnerable! " Calvin said, "Your mommy is healed. She''s perfectly capable of eating on her own." "But she doesn''t have the strength to carry a bowl!" Tammy said as she tugged on his sleeves. Calvin cast a hesitant nce at Jocelyn and then at the three children. He had the impression that the four of them had nned to deceive him. The maid finally broke the tension by suggesting, "Madame, how about I help you with lunch?" Jeffrey couldn''t stand it any longer. He thought Calvin had no idea how to care for others and that he wasn''t nice to Jocelyn. Jeffrey''s temper red a little. "Mommy, I''ll call Daddy and let hime to help you eat! I''m calling him right now!" "No, that won''t be necessary! I''d rather eat by myself!" Jocelyn realized it was futile to try to win Calvin''s sympathy by acting weak and helpless when she was sick. She had to eat by herself because she couldn''t count on Calvin. But just as she reached for the bowl, someone snatched it away. "Get out of my way, kiddo!" Calvin kicked the two boys lying on the floor beside his feet and motioned for them to move out of his way. Sean moved quickly to make room for his father after noticing he was finally taking the initiative. Jeffrey pretended to make a phone call earlier, but he didn''t dial the number at all. Calvin took a seat in front of Jocelyn. Jocelyn tried her hardest not tough but secretly grinned and thought, "You''re definitely going to lose the bet, Calvin." Chapter 53 Envy Chapter 53 Envy Chapter 53 Envy While standing by the bed, the three children observed Calvin feeding Jocelyn closely. Tammy felt delighted because she always loved to see those touching scenes. Sean was so moved that he wanted to draw a picture of how Calvin took care of Jocelyn. He imagined Jocelyn and her children moving in with them if she and Calvin got married someday. He was happy to have three more people joining his family. He really liked Tammy and thought she was adorable. Sean didn''t particrly like Jeffrey for reasons including his aloof demeanor and the strange way he spoke. What he hated most was that Jeffrey wouldn''t let him hang out with Tammy. Sean believed that if Jeffrey didn''t exist, he could spend as much time as he wanted with Tammy. All three children looked at them seriously as Calvin fed Jocelyn, which made her feel a little embarrassed. Jocelyn told the kids, "Jeffrey, Tammy, Sean, why don''t you three hang out outside? I''m not over my cold yet. I don''t want you guys to get sick too!" Jocelyn''s fever had subsided, but she still suffered from difort and a slightly runny nose. She worried that she would infect the children with the flu. "Jeffrey, how about we go outside and y?" Tammy asked. Jeffrey decided to stay in the room to watch them in case Jocelyn fell in love with Calvin. Tammy took Sean''s hand and said, "Sean, let''s go paint!" as she could tell that Jeffrey didn''t want to leave. Sean nodded and ran out of the room with Tammy while holding her hand. "Hey!" Things happened so quickly that by the time Jeffrey realized what was happening, Tammy had already left with Sean. Jeffrey was upset about this because he didn''t say anything about staying. He thought, "Tammy, how could you do this to me? I am your brother, but he isn''t!" Jeffrey pouted in discontent and dashed forward to catch up with them. Jocelyn was almost done with her meal when the kids left. Calvin asked her coldly, "Are you full? How are you feeling?" "I''m full!" Jocelyn thought it was the most incredible day ever because the most eligible bachelor in the city had just fed her lunch. She couldn''t imagine anything more satisfying. Calvin dropped the bowl onto the tray and grumbled, "No more of these childish tricks! I''m not falling for your ruses again!" Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. He then rose to leave. Jocelyn stopped him and asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Austin? Don''t you want to stay here with me?" "I have work to do. You can y games here on your own." Calvin handed her an iPad so she could kill time alone. "Forget it. I''d better not do anything out of the line. It would be terrible if he became enraged and threw me out of the house!" Jocelyn thought to herself. Jocelyn quickly adapted to her new surroundings and altered how she saw things. She could rest well at Calvin''s house and was well cared for here. She nned to consider her revengeter when she had more free time. ... Jocelyn and Calvin slept on opposite sides of the border that night, as they had agreed. A "click" sound woke Jocelyn up in the early morning. When she opened her eyes, she found that Calvin was taking pictures of her with his cell phone. "Hey! What are you doing? Why are you taking pictures of me?" Jocelyn scrambled to cover her face by holding her head with her hands. Her unwashed face was bare of makeup, and her hair was unkempt, making her worried that the photographs he took would tarnish people''s perceptions of her. "You have crossed the line!" Calvin raised his phone to show her how she had crossed the line. He''d gotten the evidence but was curious how she''d exin herself. Jocelyn froze, surprised that he had taken photos of her just to record her crossing the line. She found it difficult to believe he was so strict with her. But she could do nothing about it because she had devised the system herself. She had to follow the rules no matter what. "Fine! I''m going to make us some breakfast now." Jocelyn ruffled her messy hair, put on her slippers, and stormed out of the room. Calvin couldn''t help but smile softly as he watched her flee in a panic because she reminded him of a cute little rabbit. As Jocelyn entered the kitchen, she noticed several cooks were busy preparing breakfast. She greeted them and told them what had happened before beginning to cook herself. Beatrice came downstairs after a while. When she noticed Jocelyn busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast, she eximed, "Jocelyn, why did you wake up so early? What are you doing?" "Good morning, Mom. I''m making breakfast." Jocelyn smiled and turned around to respond. "You don''t have to do that, Jocelyn! The cooks can make breakfast for you. How can you start doing housework when you feel a little better?" Beatrice stopped Jocelyn because she thought she should have some rest after she had just recovered. "It''s okay, Mom. I''m fully recovered, so I can totally make breakfast for us. Please wait a little while. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes." Jocelyn insisted on making breakfast independently and appeared very skilled at it. Beatrice nodded, knowing Jocelyn wasn''t as spoiled as the other rich girls she knew. Jocelyn surprised Beatrice by proving that rich girls could do housework just as well as anyone else. Beatrice thought her son was fortunate to marry a perfect woman. Calvin and Sean came downstairs after Jocelyn had finished making breakfast. They were both distinguished and handsome, and their suits were the same color. Sean not only resembled Calvin in appearance but the way he walked. In all, he looked like a mini replica of Calvin. Jocelyn couldn''t help but sigh when she saw how much they resembled each other. When she looked at Sean, her expression turned gentle, and her eyes filled with love. She felt sorry for Sean because he was raised without a mother. She vowed to treat Sean as if he were her son as long as he didn''t mind. When Jeffrey and Tammy ran down the stairs, Calvin and Sean had just taken their seats by the table. The first thing Jeffrey did when he saw Jocelyn after running to the restaurant was to say hello to her. "Good morning, Mommy!" "Good morning, Jeffrey." "Good morning, Mommy!" Tammy dashed over to Jocelyn with her arms open as soon as she saw her. She flew like a small bird into Jocelyn''s arms and kissed her cheek. Jocelyn kissed Tammy on the cheek and said, "Good morning, Tammy." "My dear mommy!" Tammy gave Jocelyn another kiss while grinning. "My dear baby!" Jocelyn kissed her daughter back. Calvin was speechless after seeing the two of them kissing each other. He thought that their actions were not only too cheesy but also unsanitary. He even thought Jocelyn was doing it to brag about having a daughter. Sean was envious after he saw Tammy and Jocelyn''s interaction in silence. He hadn''t seen his mother since he was born. When he asked his father and grandmother about it, they only told him that his mother had left to go somewhere far away and would return when he was older. He had no idea how long he would have to wait for his mother to return. He couldn''t help but wonder what his mother would be like and if she would be as gentle as Jocelyn. Chapter 54 The Ultimate Move Chapter 54 The Ultimate Move Chapter 54 The Ultimate Move "Please take a seat, guys. It''s time for breakfast." Jocelyn carefully ced each child''s te in front of them after they were seated at the table. Calvin had never tried anything Jocelyn had cooked before. He stared at his food with judgy eyes for a long time before beginning to eat it. Jocelyn, who was standing next to him, couldn''t take it anymore. She persuaded him, "Mr. Austin, please try it. Do you like the food I made? I know it looks like a disaster, but it might taste good!" "Can humans eat this?" Calvin was a picky eater who valued the appearance of his food. The sight of the shattered omelet on the te turned him off from eating it. He suspected she had no idea that the appearance of food directly impacted the appetite of the person eating it. Jocelyn found what he said strange. She had always been a good cook, but she identally poked the omelet by mistake. She felt it was unreasonable for him to be so picky, even though the omelet didn''t look appealing. Cooking meals for Calvin was a challenging task for her. Although Calvin was fussy, the children showed enthusiasm for the breakfast. "My mommy makes the best breakfast in the world!" Jeffrey eximed as he wolfed down his food. Jocelyn couldn''t stopughing as she appreciated her son standing up for her. Tammy was Jocelyn''s biggest fan, so she genuinely loved everything she cooked. As she dug into her meal, Tammy said, "All the things my mommy makes are delicious! I love it! It tastes so good!" Sean decided to join Tammy and Jeffrey after seeing how much they relished their food. His eyes widened when he tasted the omelet because he thought it tasted fantastic. Jocelyn winked at Calvin to show him that her cooking was a hit with the three kids. "Look at Tammy, Jeffrey, and Sean! They all like my omelet! That must mean that it''s not so bad, right? Why not give it a shot?" Calvin remained silent. But, after a brief pause, he picked up his knife and fork because he was curious how it tasted. He took a bite of the omelet. "It doesn''t look so good, but it tastes really well." He thought to himself. Jocelyn stared at him as he ate it and asked, "How''s that? Does it taste good?" "It''s just average!" He said. No matter how perfect it was, he wouldn''t tell the truth because he didn''t want her to know how much he enjoyed her cooking. "Why do you say it''s average when the kids say it''s delicious? You seem to have unrealistic expectations for your breakfast." Jocelyn thought to herself. "Let me try some," Beatrice said as she approached the table. After trying the omelet she made, Beatrice was impressed with Jocelyn''s cooking skills. "Wow, it tastes so great! It''s absolutely delicious!" "Really? That''s wonderful! You can eat as much as you want!" Jocelyn said as she served the children more omelets. Calvin was in a much better mood after having delicious omelets for breakfast. He casually wiped the corners of his mouth and got up from the table after he threw away his napkin. Jocelyn immediately caught up with him and asked with expectation, "Mr. Austin, can I go out today?" Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Calvin didn''t respond, instead simply looking at her. Jocelyn shook her arm to prove she was cured and said, "Look, I''m fine now! I''m feeling so great today! Believe me!" Calvin was in a good mood and was relieved that she hadn''t gotten him into any more trouble. As a result, he said, "Yes, but Marcus has to follow you." "Great! Thanks! Bye!" Jocelyn was overjoyed to have Calvin''s approval. She politely walked him out the door, then went upstairs to get dressed. Jocelyn soon came downstairs to say good-by to Beatrice and the children. "I have to go somewhere right now, Mom, and I won''t be back untilter." Wait for me, Jeffrey, and Tammy!" "All right, Mommy. I''ll be waiting for you." Tammy waved as she spoke. "Mommy, I''ll take care of my sister," said Jeffrey. He always wanted to help Jocelyn in any way he could. Beatrice was relieved to see that the children had behaved themselves. She asked Jocelyn with concern, "Where are you going, my dear? Have you really recovered? Do you need Calvin to give you a ride?" "That''s not necessary, Mom. I''m just going to have a spa day. I can go there by myself." In fact, it was just an excuse Jocelyn made to get out of the house. She reasoned that if Calvin came back home after Beatrice called him, he probably would refuse to let her out. Beatrice told Jocelyn to wait a minute when she heard her say she wanted a beauty treatment. She said as she took a card from the room and handed it to Jocelyn, "Here you go! You can get good beauty care services with this card." Beatrice gave her a membership card of Prisci SPA that was valid for the highest tier of services. The Prisci Spa was the most famous beauty salon in the city, frequented by wealthy women and celebrities. Jocelyn had no intention of going to such a posh spa for beauty treatments. "Is this a Diamond level VIP card for Prisci Spa? Thanks, Mom, but that''s just too fancy for me. I just ..." Jocelyn was embarrassed to admit that it was just an excuse. "It''s not that big of a deal. Remember, you''re Calvin''s wife now, and you certainly deserve the best. Women should treat themselves like princesses. If you value your appearance, you''re doing a favor for yourself and your loved ones. Just take it!" Jocelyn epted the card because she realized Beatrice was genuinely kind to her, which moved her. Jocelyn feltpelled to visit the Prisci Spa after receiving that thoughtful gift from Beatrice. Otherwise, she wouldn''t know what to say if Beatrice asked her that night if she had gone there. After Jocelyn left the house, Jeffrey and Sean began to fight over who Tammy should y with. Jeffrey couldn''t stand the thought of his sister spending so much time with Sean. He brought her to their side and said, "Tammy, I''m your brother. You can''t always hang out with Sean!" "Why? But Mommy told me I should spend more time with Sean!" Tammy did it not only because she liked to follow her mother''s instructions but also because she really liked Sean. "Mommy didn''t mean that. You need to remember that you are my sister, not his. Why don''t you come with me to the intable castle? Let''s have fun together!" Jeffrey cast a nce at Sean, who was standing nearby in silence. Sean did nothing but stand there looking enviously at them. He knew Jeffrey and Tammy were brothers and sisters born to the same mother. However, he could never be Tammy''s brother since his mother was not Jocelyn. "But Sean is so lonely on his own! He doesn''t have anyone to y with." Tammy turned back to look at Sean. She felt sorry for Sean whenever she saw him because he didn''t have a mother and had troublemunicating with others. "If you be with him all the time, I''ll have to be alone! I''ll be pathetic too!" Jeffrey began to act pitifully to win Tammy over. "The three of us can hang out together," Tammy said innocently, blinking her big eyes. Jeffrey scowled and folded his arms in annoyance. "Hmph, I''m not ying with him." "Well, I guess I''ll go painting with Sean." Tammy finally chose to be with Sean. When Jeffrey realized she was leaving, he pulled out his ultimate trick. Chapter 55 He Used Such a Bad Idea to Attract My Sister Chapter 55 He Used Such a Bad Idea to Attract My Sister Chapter 55 He Used Such a Bad Idea to Attract My Sister "Tammy, if you y with me, I will give you a lollipop." "Wow, it''s a rainbow lollipop! I like lollipops!" Tammy saw a rainbow lollipop in his brother''s hand. She happily ran over and pulled it out of his hand. Jeffrey was satisfied in his heart, and he didn''t believe that he couldn''t get his own foodie sister. Jeffrey had just felt good about himself for a short while when Tammy returned the lollipop to him. "Jeffrey, I don''t want your lollipop anymore! I want Sean''s!" Tammy shook her little arms and happily ran towards Sean. Jeffrey''s eyes widened in shock, and he saw Sean holding arge box in his arms, which was full of lollipops and all kinds of snacks. He was so shameless! Sean used such a bad idea to attract his sister! Sh*t! ... In the downtown, Forest Restaurant. Jocelyn made an appointment with Todd here, and when she came, Todd arrived before her. After taking her seat, Jocelyn couldn''t stop apologizing, "I''m sorry, Todd. I had something yesterday, and I really didn''t mean to break the appointment." "Forget it, and I''ve long been used to it. You rarely came on time." Todd leaned on the private seat, with azy and calm posture, and he didn''t mind that she did not come yesterday. Jocelyn was embarrassed in her heart, thinking back to the past, she had indeed broken the agreement with Todd too many times. Every time he asked her out for dinner, she was either rushing to make an announcement or filming an advertisement. Thinking about it, she realized it was really not a nice thing to do. "What do you want to drink?" "Anything is ok!" "Let''s have atte!" Todd asked a waiter to order coffee for Jocelyn, and they began to chat. Todd couldn''t treat her as his wife anymore, so some things in his heart could no longer be easily said, and the topic could only be cut from the children, "Are Jeffrey and Tammy okay?" "They are all very good." Jocelyn replied with a smile. Neither of the two people spoke again, but they could understand each other''s thoughts. After being silent for a while, Todd broke the silence and spoke first, "Tell me, are you looking for me for the copyright of The Phoenix Queen?" Jocelyn pped the table excitedly, "Todd, you are amazing! Are you a roundworm in my stomach? You actually know what I am thinking." "Of course, how can I not know what you are thinking?" Todd knew her purpose from learning that Jocelyn was back home and she made a big scene at Ernest''s engagement and the release of her new film. No matter what she wanted, even the stars and the moon in the sky, he would find a way to get it for her. To be honest, the copyright was actually taken for her. "You know me best, thank you. That''s right, I''m here for copyright. To tell you the truth, now the only source of The Phoenix Queen is in my hands." Jocelyn regarded him as a reliable friend and told him the truth directly. Todd knew she was smart, and said with a smile, "If that''s the case, how about I just give it to you for free?" "No, don''t give it to me for free. Let''s work together!" Jocelyn knew that he paid a high price for the copyright. It was impossible for her to let him do a loss-making business, not to mention that Todd''s Butterfly Entertainment had a very good way and channel for nning films, so it was better to hand it over to him to operate than to do this blindly by herself. Todd thought for a while, and finally agreed, "Okay! Since you trust me so much... I hope we''ll enjoy our coboration." The two shook hands and reached an agreement. Todd added, "I will let my assistant contact you for the detailed n." "Okay, I also entrust my former manager Veronica Gaspar to handle this matter, and I will send you her numberter." Now that they had settled the deal and finished their coffee, Jocelyn wanted to leave, but Todd kept her, "Jocelyn, since we are cooperating, you have to treat your partner to a meal, right? I remember you said five years ago that you wanted to treat me. I have been waiting for five years for a meal!" "Okay, okay, I''ll ask the waiter to order." Jocelyn was embarrassed, but the good news was that the awkward atmosphere between them was finally eliminated. They were true friends again! The waiter was called to order dishes. During the meal, two people entered the restaurant. Jocelyn casually looked up and saw that it was Ernest and Theresa who came in. Ernest wore sunsses, and Theresa wore sunsses and a mask, both looking very low-key, but their manners were quite intimate. Jocelyn snorted coldly in her heart. After thest engagement, Theresa''s reputation was so bad. She didn''t expect that Ernest didn''t dump her, and it was really strange enough to be so good with her! Did he think he was not a true cuckold? Because of the arrival of Ernest and Theresa, Jocelyn felt a little unpleasant. Todd also noticed that since the two came, Jocelyn''s face sank. He patted her shoulder to signal her not to care about them. Jocelyn withdrew her gaze and hooked her lips, "I''m fine. Let''s continue to eat!" Now with Todd, even if she met Ernest, she had nothing to worry about! Ernest and Theresa were taken into the restaurant by the waiter together. They just sat diagonally opposite Jocelyn near them. As soon as they sat down, Theresa identally found Jocelyn and was surprised, "Ernest, look at her." Ernest followed Theresa''s eyes and looked over, and he suddenly saw Jocelyn sitting in the restaurant. He was stunned for a moment. Was Jocelyn actually in this restaurant? It''s really a narrow road! Then he noticed that the man who was eating with her was Todd, and Ernest immediately understood. It seemed that the person who rescued Jocelyn in the auction house must be Todd. It seemed that they had long nned it! Todd did not hesitate to auction the copyright at a high price, just for Jocelyn! He would really do anything for Jocelyn. As long as he thought of the things that Jocelyn had done and the things that she and Todd had done to harm him, Ernest became furious, but he was even more scared at the same time. Jocelyn stole the source of the film, and Todd got the copyright. If these two people joined forces, it would definitely be a win-win situation. Ernest was angry in his heart. Theresa saw that he was so angry that he almost crushed the wine ss. She held his hand and said, "Ernest, don''t be angry. It''s not worth it for a woman like that." Ernest held back his anger and said gently to Theresa, "Well, you are the best." Both sides were eating, and when Todd looked at Ernest, he picked up the wine ss with a faint smile and motioned to him. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. He was not toasting, but provoking him and mocking him in a victorious posture! ... Chapter 56 Leave Her Alone, Bit*h! Chapter 56 Leave Her Alone, Bit*h! Chapter 56 Leave Her Alone, Bit*h! Ernest''s face was as ck as the bottom of a pot, and he became more and more unhappy. He really wanted to step forward and punch him, but in public, he couldn''t do anything with Todd. Jocelyn had been eating her own meal intently, without turning her head to look at the two people next to her, and halfway through the meal, a little oil sshed on her skirt. Putting down the knife and fork, Jocelyn looked down and said, "I''m sorry, Todd, I''ll go to the bathroom." "Hmm. Do you want me to apany you?" "No, I''ll be back soon." After Jocelyn left, Theresa noticed it and whispered to Ernest, "Ernest, please wait, and I''ll talk to her." In the women''s bathroom. Jocelyn was facing the mirror, carefully handling the oil stains on her skirt, when Theresa swayed from outside. "Jocelyn, I didn''t expect to meet you at such a coincidence!" "Hmph..." Jocelyn nced at her from the mirror and snorted coldly. Theresa''s eyes were full of contempt. She hugged her arms and said, "I really didn''t expect that you would be able to hook up with Todd Garner as soon as you return. You''re not simple. Don''t tell me you''re in a rtionship!" "It''s none of your business!" Jocelyn replied coldly. Seeing Theresa''s delicate and hypocritical face, she only had an urge to tear her apart. "We''re good girlfriends once, isn''t it normal for me to care about you?" "Normal?" Jocelyn suddenly turned around, stared at her with cold eyes, and gritted her teeth, "You mean to say that we used to be friends? Have you forgotten what happened five years ago? What have you all done to me?" "It''s all in the past, and please don''t mention it. Anyway, aren''t you alive well now?" Theresa had never felt a little guilty, because this kind of person had no heart at all. "Should I thank you, right? I can''t forget your ''great kindness'' to me forever. You may not know, every day and night in the past, what is the most sentence thates to my mind?" "What?" Jocelyn suddenly approached her and told her word by word, "That is, I won''t let you go if I am a ghost!" Jocelyn was really terrible! She looked like she was from the depths of hell! Theresa was scared! Listening to her gloomy and terrifying voice, her sweaty hair stood up in fear. Compared with five years ago, Jocelyn had indeed changed too much. She changed a lot and had be unrecognizable! Five years ago, she was still a simple and cute girl, but five yearster, she seemed to have be a female devil who ate people and did not spit out bones. Theresa took two steps back in fright. She swallowed her saliva and said, "You are really ruthless! Anyway, now that youe back alive, you should have taken revenge enough! You have cornered me and Ernest! You also fell in love with each other five years ago, why did you drive him into a corner?" Driving him into a corner? When they drove her into a corner, why didn''t they think about her feelings? And now were they still pretending to be pitiful in front of her? "Stop! There has been no rtionship between me and Ernest for a long time! Whether it was five years ago or five yearster, it was you who was with him from beginning to end! It''s a joke that you have hooked up with each other and done so many shameful things, and you still want to get forgiveness from others!" If it weren''t for the start of the framing five years ago, she wouldn''t know Theresa''s true face, let alone know about the dirty business between her and Ernest. They just used her as a stepping stone, and when they ran out, they wanted to destroy her completely! If she hadn''t been strong enough, she might have died a long time ago! Jocelyn''s eyes became more and more cold, the strong hatred condensed in her heart, and her clenched fists made it possible to attack at any time. But considering that this was a public ce, with cameras pointed at them, Jocelyn did not lose her mind, and to punish them, it was useless to use her fists. Because skin trauma was easy to heal, what she wanted to destroy was their spirit and will! Jocelyn didn''t want to waste any more words with her and turned around to leave, but Theresa dragged her down. She reced her with a pitiful look, grabbed Jocelyn''s arm, and begged, "Jocelyn, for the sake of acquaintance, you can let Ernest and me go. The source of The Phoenix Queen is really important to Ernest, please return the things to him. okay?" "Do you still want it back? Dream it!" Jocelyn scolded coldly, "Let me go!" This vicious woman even had the face to pull her, saying that they knew each other. They weren''t friends anymore! They were just ipatible! "Jocelyn, I''m begging you. Please return the things to Ernest!" "Let me go! I don''t care about you! Can you hear me?" Faced with Theresa''s entanglement, Jocelyn directly threw off Theresa. After Theresa was thrown away, she took advantage of the momentum to pounce on the back washing table, and just as her abdomen hit the edge of the sink. "Ah-" Theresa let out a scream. She fell to the ground, covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and a painful expression appeared on her face. Seeing her in this state, Jocelyn sneered, "Stop pretending! You also want to perform a trick of crash-for-cash! That''s enough!" She wouldn''t be deceived by her again! At this time, Theresa stretched out her hand towards her, "Jocelyn, save me... save my child..." After seeing bright red blood flowing out of Theresa''s body, Jocelyn was surprised. Was Theresa pregnant? Could it be that she just pushed her and caused her to miscarry? Listening to her non-stop shouting for help, Jocelyn looked at her coldly and numbly and did not help her. Because she remembered five years ago, when they persecuted and attacked her, causing her to conceive a stranger''s child. She was suppressed and pushed into hell, and she became a rat across the street that everyone shouted at, and she could only hide in the country. She risked death to give birth to three children, and the feeling of bleeding from her body was too clear to her! When she was so miserable and so painful, when she was cornered, did they think about letting her go? No! Not only did they not let her go, but they also wanted to kill her. In the end, those ck materials made herpletely discredited! Therefore, in the face of the enemy, Jocelyn did not have so many noble thoughts. Whether she was cold-blooded or desperate, she would never save her! Leave her alone, bit*h! Theresa''s cry for help rmed the people in the restaurant. Ernest rushed over when he heard the sound. When he saw Theresa lying on the ground, with blood under her body, he shouted nervously, "Theresa! What happened to you? Theresa..." "Ernest... I''m in so much pain... Our baby..." When Theresa said this, her painful eyes turned to Jocelyn. Ernest understood that Jocelyn did it, and he was really angry, so he turned his head and roared angrily at Jocelyn, "Jocelyn! You can do what you want to punish me! Why did you hurt her? Did you know that she has a child in her belly? I''m telling you if there is an ident, I will definitely not let you go!" In the end, Ernest picked up Theresa and hurriedly left the restaurant. ......Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 57 They Wont Dare Do It! Chapter 57 They Won''t Dare Do It! Chapter 57 They Won''t Dare Do It! Jocelyn stood indifferently in ce as if immersed in some kind of painful memory until Todd came to find her. "Jocelyn, what just happened?" Jocelyn came back to her senses and sneered, "Theresa is pregnant, but now she has a miscarriage, what a retribution!" Jocelyn''s words sounded a little cold-blooded to outsiders, but Todd could understand her, "Well, it is indeed retribution, yes! Let''s go!" Todd took Jocelyn away and wanted to drive her, but she refused, "I called a car, and you can leave first. I''ll go to find a friendter." "Well, call me anytime if you have something." Todd left, and Jocelyn waited for a while until Marcus Page drove over to pick her up. Next, she did not go back to Tundra directly, but she asked Marcus to send her to a ce. She wanted to go to find her former good friend Kathy Beckett, who had not been in touch for five years and she did not know how the girl was now. She remembered that when she was in school, she and Kathy and Vi Modica were the best sisters. Later, the versatile Vi went abroad to study. She worked as the editor-in-chief of well-known foreign magazines, and now became the chief designer of GIOR. She had a good future outside and had not returned until now. Kathy was ady of the Beckett family and she had the same dream of being an actor as her, but the people in her family opposed her bing an actor. After Jocelyn''s ident five years ago, only Kathy raised a sum of money for her. Tribtion saw true love, and she couldn''t forget Kathy''s kindness to her until now. When Jocelyn arrived at the Beckett family and came to look for Kathy, she got the answer that Kathy had not returned to the Beckett family for several years. They said that she had gone abroad. Did Kathy also go abroad? The Beckett family did not have Kathy''s contact information. Jocelyn did not know how she developed abroad and when she would be able to return, and she could only hope that her good friend would return soon. Leaving the Beckett family, Jocelyn went to find Veronica again. After meeting with Veronica, Jocelyn told her what happened in the restaurant. After Veronica listened to the process, she sneered coldly, "Don''t you think this matter is too coincidental? How hard did you try to shake her off, and she hit the sink and had a miscarriage?" "I''m just using normal strength." Jocelyn felt that the strength she threw away at that time was not enough to make a person miscarry. Unless she was kicked by her, it was very likely. "In my opinion, it was her own drama!" "I''m worried about what if Ernest uses this incident to use me of murder?" Jocelyn was afraid of getting into awsuit, and if she was riddled withwsuits, it would be extremely detrimental to her next development and ns. "It won''t! They don''t dare do it! You''ll see! I think they''re likely to y on the topic." Veronica calmly analyzed and her eyes was determined. She knew Theresa that woman too well, and if she hadn''t guessed wrong, Theresa''s miscarriage must not have been an ident! ...... In Pailworth Hospital. Ernest sent Theresa over, and after the rescue, the baby in her belly was finally saved, and now she had been transferred to the ward to have a rest. Ernest stayed with Theresa until she woke up, Ernest held her hand nervously, "Theresa, you are finally awake!" After Theresa woke up, the feeling of pain in her abdomen hit, but thinking of something, she asked with a panicked expression, "Ernest... My baby...... Our baby... The baby is gone..." "Don''t be nervous! The baby is still there! Rest assured, the doctor has saved the baby, and now you just need to be hospitalized to recuperate." Ernestforted. No matter what, there was always a feeling between him and Theresa. The engagement was made like that, and he wanted to break up with herpletely, but when he knew that she was pregnant, he could choose to forgive her regardless of his previous suspicions because of this baby, which showed that he also cared about this baby! After all, he was the only son of the Cloutier family, and he hoped that Theresa could give birth to this baby for him. But thinking that the baby almost lost his life at the hands of Jocelyn, Ernest couldn''t help but hate from his heart, "It''s all to me Jocelyn! I won''t spare her!" Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. "Ernest, don''t me her. She didn''t mean to push me." On the surface, she was getting rid of the responsibility for Jocelyn, but in fact, it was equivalent to saying that it was Jocelyn who pushed her! "Theresa, you are too kind. To this point, you are still speaking for her. Whether she intends it or not, she is responsible for this matter! Don''t worry! I''ve found a cure for her!" Ernest narrowed his eyes and said grimly. Theresa only cared about fighting with Jocelyn, but she ignored one thing. Thinking that she would soon have an endorsement to attend, and said worriedly, "By the way, Ernest, what about my Siumix Charity Night Event? Under this situation, how could I be present?" "Is the Siumix Charity Night Event tonight?" "Yes." This was a bit of a hassle, Siumix Charity Night Event, held only once a year, was the exclusive title of Siumix, and this year Siumix was said to be screening suitable all-Asian spokespeople through this event. It was very important for Theresa. Theresa was currently only the spokesperson of the local region, and she needed to take advantage of this opportunity to win the endorsement of all of Asia, but this kind of thing was happening at a crucial moment. However, nothing could stump Ernest. Since it was Jocelyn who caused trouble, the consequences had to be borne by Jocelyn, and he already had a n in his heart. He would punish Jocelyn! "Theresa, now you don''t need to think about anything. I will handle this matter." Ernestforted for a while, and only when Theresa''s assistant Linda came here did he stand up, "Theresa, now let Linda take care of you, and I''ll help you go through the formalities." "Well, good." After Ernest went out, Linda sat down next to Theresa. She saw her current appearance and sighed, "Theresa, you hurt yourself too much for Mr. Cloutier, right?" Theresa changed to another vicious face at this moment. She hooked her lips and sneered, "How so? If I didn''te up with a bitter n, how could I let Ernest be loyal to me? How could it be med on Jocelyn?" In fact, everything was Theresa''s deliberate scheme. Because her pregnancy was not very smooth, the doctor told her that her fetus was unstable and needed to recuperate, otherwise, it would be easy to cause miscarriage. Since it was so easy to miscarry, the baby was not destined to be saved. It was better to get rid of the baby early, so as not to dy her future. So when she met Jocelyn in the restaurant, she had a n and wanted Jocelyn to bear this responsibility. In this way, not only could Jocelyn bear a life debt, but also it would make Ernest hate Jocelyn even more. It could also make Ernest feel guilty about her because of the baby, and he would be reluctant to leave her. But unexpectedly, the baby was saved. Linda thought of Jocelyn and asked, "Theresa, Jocelyn is back now. What can I do next time she comes looking for trouble again?" ...... Chapter 58 Youre No Match of Me Chapter 58 You''re No Match of Me Chapter 58 You''re No Match for Me "What are you afraid of? She was no match for me five years ago. Do you think she can beat me now? I''ll also defeat her. She won''t have any chance!" When Theresa thought of Jocelyn''s gorgeous face, her eyes turned even colder. "I saw her having dinner with Todd. If I tell her half sister about this, what do you think Glenna would do if she knows her sister came back and stole her beloved man?" Based on her understanding of Glenna, Theresa thought she would do something. To defeat Jocelyn, she only needed to do it through others'' hands! "Jocelyn, you''re no match for me. You''ll never have the chance to win!" She thought. ... Jocelyn was with Veronica now. They had talked over all that needed discussion and were about to leave. She needed to discuss something with Katie. However, strangely, Katie didn''t answer the phone and she couldn''t reach her at all. "Veronica, I gotta go now. I can''t reach Katie. I have to see what''s going on." "Okay, be careful and stay in touch." Veronica sent Jocelyn to the door. And right now, Jocelyn''s phone rang, and it was Katie. Jocelyn picked up the phone and said impatiently, "Hey, Katie, where did you go? Why didn''t you answer the phone?" But Katie on the other side was sobbing, "Help me... Help me..." Hearing her voice, Jocelyn suddenly got nervous. She eximed, "Katie, what happened? Where are you? Tell me. I''ll go find you now..." But the one who answered next was not Katie but a familiar man. "Jocelyn, your little assistant is in my hands now." "Ernest!" Jocelyn and Veronica nced at each other. She now realized that Ernest took Katie away. No wonder she couldn''t reach her just now at all. She had no idea how Ernest caught Katie. But she was anxious. "Ernest, why did you take Katie away? Let her go! You cane at me!" "I do want to go to you! You almost made Theresa aborted. How can I get even with you for this?" Ernest wanted to call Jocelyn, but didn''t have her number. However, he found that she had a little assistant, Katie. If he caught Katie, he could find Jocelyn naturally. With Katie, he could easily threaten Jocelyn. "Her abortion has nothing to do with me! That was her own fault!" Jocelyn knew that it was useless to exin to him. So she asked directly, "Tell me! What do you want!" "I want you toe to the hospital in person." Ernest made a request with an overwhelming tone. His request was within Jocelyn''s expectation. Now Katie was with him. She had no other choice but to go to the hospital. "Okay. I''ll go." After hanging up, Jocelyn was leaving. Veronica was worried, "Jocelyn, are you okay? Do you need me to go with you?" "No, I''m okay. You''d better note up now." Jocelyn was preparing for hereback, and many things needed Veronica''s convert help. Their rtionship shouldn''t be exposed. If Ernest knew that Veronica had been secretly helping her, he wouldn''t let it pass. And she would find out a way to save Katie. Getting in Marcus''s car, Jocelyn asked him to send her to the hospital. To ensure her safety, Jocelyn asked Marcus to protect her. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. With the number ward number that Ernest gave her, she sessfully found the right ce. Ernest had been waiting for her for a long time. "Mr. Cloutier, I''m here! What do you want?" Jocelyn walked towards Ernest. He took a nce at Marcus behind Jocelyn first. It meant that there was someone else and it was inconvenient to say, "Follow me!" Ernest reached out to grasp Jocelyn''s wrist. Before he reached Jocelyn, he was caught by Marcus who warned him coldly, "I won''t allow you to hurt her!" "Let go of me!" Ernest red at Marcus. His eyes were full of warnings and threats. He wanted to ask Marcus who he was. How dare he talk to him like that? Marcus showed no fear and said coldly, "If you dare hurt her even a little, I won''t let it pass you!" Ernest was probably shocked by Marcus''s fierce appearance, and was defeated by his overwhelming tone. So he changed into a softer tone, "Jocelyn, I can tell you. I won''t hold you ountable for the source. Now I want you here to discuss with you about something very important. Can you ask your guy to stay aside now?" Jocelyn noticed that Ernest hadn''t brought any bodyguards here today. He was alone. Now that no one was with him now, he couldn''t hurt her. After thinking for a few seconds, Jocelyn agreed, "Okay! Marcus, let him go!" Marcus had to obey hermand and let go of Marcus. Ernest straightened his cor, nced at Marcus and said to Jocelyn with a dark face, "Follow me to the ward. Come alone!" Jocelyn turned to tell Marcus to wait for her here, and then she followed Ernest to the ward. Katie was not in the ward. Only Theresa was seen lying on the bed in a lethargic state with a pale face. Ernest nced at Theresa, who was unconscious, turned back and said angrily, "Jocelyn, are you happy now? You made Theresa this, aren''t you guilty at all?" "What should I feel guilty about? She deserves this!" Jocelyn said indifferently. "You are even colder than I imagined!" Ernest said with hatred. "Really? Compared to you, I''m just insignificant. I''m no match for you when ites to being cold- blooded." Jocelyn was amused. Why didn''t these people think about how cold-blooded they were when they harmed others, but now they were using her of being cold-blooded? "Well, I don''t want to argue with you now." Ernest took a deep breath. "So do I. Now that I''m here, can you let Katie go?" Jocelyn asked. "I can let her go, but I have a requirement!" "What?" "You''ve seen how Theresa is now. She almost aborted because of you. You know she is in a critical period of her career and is expected topete for the Best Actress award at The Bomia Award this year. But because of you, all her activities and announcements have been forced to be suspended. Shouldn''t you take full responsibility for that?" "I know, and then what?" "What I want to say is that before Theresa recovers, you have to help her toplete those activities. You must help her make up for all the losses!" Was this the absurd idea he came up with? Let her rece Theresa? ... Chapter 59 The Chance Finally Came Chapter 59 The Chance Finally Came Chapter 59 The Chance Finally Came This was the best approach that Ernest could think of, which was the most effective. Recing Theresa with Jocelyn could not only guarantee Theresa''s status, but also firmly control Jocelyn. She would not be able to make any trouble and would have to continue to work for Icehive Entertainment. Hearing his proposal, Jocelyn sneered, "Ernest, how could youe up with such an absurd idea? Let me attend activities for her? What a joke!" Veronica had told her before that Ernest intended to make hereback and continue working for Icehive Entertainment. The only idea came to Jocelyn''s mind at that time was that she would rather go to a third-ratepany than enter Icehive Entertainment and be under his control again. But now, Ernest''s proposal was extremely shameless. How could hee up with such an absurd idea? Ernest sneered, "Jocelyn, do you still regard yourself as the best actress like five years ago? Didn''t you take a good look at yourself through the mirror? Five years! It has been five years. You have been forgotten by the public. A former actress hasn''t appear on the screen for five years. Who will remember you? To be frank, with your scandals before, there isn''t anypany that would ept you. I''m giving you a chance! And if you want to see Katie, you have no other choice!" Ernest said passionately as if he was a savior and was giving Jocelyn herst chance. Jocelyn had been taking control of her temper. If it weren''t for Katie, she would never listen to Ernest even a word. Ernest wanted to let her pave the way for Theresa. Well, why not take this chance to treat them with their way? Five years ago, they got what they wanted by stepping on her body. Five yearter, Jocelyn would come back by stepping on their heads! Upon careful consideration, Jocelyn was nning to make aeback. What shecked most now were resources and opportunities. Why not take advantage of this chance and make a beautiful comeback? It should be her turn to win. She had been suppressed for too long! Now, the chance finally came! Jocelyn didn''t say a word. Ernest thought she wanted to refuse, and even took out her death contract to threat her, "Jocelyn, do you think you have any other choice? Don''t forget it! You suddenly disappeared that year, but your contract with Icehive Entertainment was still here. There are still five years left. As long as the contract hasn''t expired, you have to obey the arrangement. If you dare to breath the contract, think about thepensate for the breach of contract!" Jocelyn took an intake of breath. How could she forget that? In the long-term contract with Icehive Entertainment, the stipted penalty for breach of contract was 400 million dors! Perhaps everyone who signed a long-term contract with Icehive Entertainment wouldn''t know that the 400 million dors was a trap. It was stipted in the contract that you could enjoy a guarantee of 400 million dors. But when you were going to terminate the contract, thewyer would tell you that 400 million dors was a penalty for breach of contract. This was the most disgusting part of Icehive Entertainment! There was indeed no other choices for Jocelyn now. Jocelyn pretended to be embarrassed and finallypromised, "Well! I promise you! That was my fault, and I''ll see to it and listen to your arrangement! As for Theresa''s abortion, I really didn''t mean that!" Jocelyn did so to convince Ernest that she was genuinely guilty, which could also help him reduce his guard against her. Seeing Jocelyn finallypromise with guilt, Ernest breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Okay, tonight''s Siumix Charity Night Event, you''ll attend it for Theresa. Contact Theresa''s agent Lilly then. She will tell what to do." "Okay." Jocelyn nodded and took the business card of Theresa''s agent from Ernest. Ernest then added, "What''s more, I don''t want Theresa''s pregnancy to be known to all. If I hear anything about it, you''ll never see Katie again." Theresa now was in a critical period of her career. If her pregnancy was known by the public, it would definitely have an impact on her. So Ernest had blocked the passage of it. Because he knew Jocelyn was a righteous girl, he took Katie to threat her. That was exactly. Jocelyn wouldn''t leave Katie alone! To save Katie, Jocelyn would follow his words, "I won''t tell anyone about it. But when will you let Katie go?" "I have already said, until you save all the losses for Theresa!" "Okay, it''s a deal, but I also have a request. During this period, if you dare to harm Katie, I won''t let it pass you!" "You don''t need to worry about that." Anyway, Ernest''s target was Jocelyn. He had no spare time to deal with an unimportant person. The negotiations ended. Jocelyn left the hospital. Ernest required her to keep the phone on. As soon as Jocelyn left, Theresa "woke up". She had heard the conversation between Ernest and Jocelyn just now. Now Jocelyn was agreed to attend activities for her, but she was still worried. "Ernest, isn''t this too risky? What if her identity is exposed? Then my future will be ruined!" "No, don''t worry. I will arrange everything." To persuade Theresa, Ernest continued, "You should know that it has no harm but benefits to you. We can not onlyplete your activities but also take control of her. By doing so, we don''t have to worry about her tricks in the future." The main purpose of Ernest to bring Jocelyn from the dark to the bright. What in front of his eyes was the easiest to be under his control. "Well, tell my agent. Ask Jocelyn to do well tonight." "Well, there won''t be any problem, don''t worry!" Ernest had his ownprehensive n. Theresa had no other choice but follow his n. After all, her physical condition didn''t allow her to appear in public. If Jocelyn could attend activities for her, she could really save lots of pain for her. ...Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Walking out of the hospital, Jocelyn got on the car and texted to Veronica. [Veronica, I just met Ernest. He asked me to attend Siumix Charity Night Event for Theresa.] Veronica had expected that. She was worried. [As expected, I knew he wouldn''t let it pass you. He wants to make full use of you. Don''t listen to her, Jocelyn!] [I know, Veronica! But my assistant Katie is in his hand now. I have no other choice. But I''ve thought about it. He wants me to pave the way for Theresa. Why not I use this chance to make a comeback? The chance is in front of me. How could I not take advantage of it?] Hearing Jocelyn''s idea, Veronica thought it was not bad. "Well, what''s your n?" Chapter 60 She Would definitely Help Her Chapter 60 She Would definitely Help Her Chapter 60 She Would definitely Help Her [Jocelyn: I may need some help from you.] [Veronica: Okay, what''s that?" [Jocelyn: Now Ernest doesn''t want Theresa''s abortion to affect her on winning The Bomia Award. He wants me to attend activities for her. So I need you to help me obtain evidence of her hospitalization. Additionally, could you please help me write an article proving that in the past five years, I was not taken care of by a foreign tycoon, but was deliberately sealed off. However, it would be better to not mention Jeffrey and Tammy.] Five years of pain and persecution, silence and forbearance, it was time for Jocelyn to get even with them! But it was not suitable to publicly disclose her experience, because in that way, her pain would be exposed in the sun and discussed as a bargaining chip by many people. People''s attention might shift to whose child she was pregnant with, which would be detrimental to her. [Veronica: Well, I see. I''ll take care of them both.] Veronica soon understood her idea and n, and she would definitely help her. [Jocelyn: Veronica, thank you.] Jocelyn was really grateful to her. It not easy for her to make her mind to start again. And she had few friends that she could trust. Fortunately, she had Veronica. [Veronica: Don''t be so polite to me, or I''ll be angry!] As Jocelyn''s confidant and friend, Veronica had been waiting for her toe back for a long time. She would never forget the care and protection given to her by Jocelyn back then. Now, let her escort hereback. She could guarantee that there would be a bloody storm in the entertainment industry, and as long as Jocelyn made hereback, she would definitely be the most attractive one. After chatting with Veronica, Jocelyn took a deep breath and turned her gaze to the birds soaring freely in the blue sky outside the window. At this moment, her mind was calm like the clear blue sky. She knew what she was doing, knew why she lived, and understood her purpose in living. No matter how difficult the future might be, she would continue to move forward firmly. She would remember all those who had helped her, and she would fight back against all those who had hurt her. Ernest, Theresa... "Just wait and see!" She thought. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. The day you fell to hell was the moment I returned to my peak! Jocelyn came out of her own thought. She sent Theresa''s agent Lilly a message to confirm the arrangements for the evening. Just as she sent out the message, the car suddenly stopped. Without knowing what happened, Jocelyn imed, "Marcus, what''s wrong?" "Ms. Austin, it''s Mr. Austin!" "What?" Jocelyn looked out of the window and saw a dozen or so cars, all lined up next to her car. Then dozens of bodyguards including Craig got off the cars. And a tall figure got off the main car. Jocelyn looked over and found that was Calvin. Jocelyn was shocked. What were they going to do with so many bodyguards? To pick a quarrel? "Ms. Austin, I informed Mr. Austin that you may be in danger. Now I will go to exin for that first." Marcus got off the car first to make a report to Calvin. "Where is she now?" Calvin received Marcus''s call and was told that Jocelyn was caught by Ernest. So he put aside everything and went here. "Ms. Austin..." Before Marcus exined, Jocelyn had got off the car and wave to Calvin, "Hi, Mr. Austin." Calvin didn''t say anything. Seeing Jocelyn was safe, Calvin knew that his worries were unnecessary. Jocelyn ran over and asked with a smile, "Mr. Austin, I am so moved that you brought so many people to save me!" "That''s not true!" Calvin finished his sentence coldly and got into the car again. Without thinking, Jocelyn got on the car and said, "I know you must be angry now foring in vain. Let me treat you to dinner, okay?" Jocelyn spected that Calvin must had not eaten yet. She hadn''t eaten anything since noon either. They could have dinner together. "I don''t have time." Calvin lowered his head to check the time on his watch. A group of senior executives in the company''s conference room were still waiting for him. "Well, then I have to go to Todd." Jocelyn turned around and was about to get off the car, but was stopped by Calvin. He didn''t look good and said, "Go!" He thought the woman was really unreasonable. He was not avable, then she would go to see another man? She just couldn''t be quiet and obedient for even a moment! She wanted to eat? Well, he would content her! ... At the restaurant, the car stopped at the entrance. The man asked her to get off. Jocelyn saw it was a restaurant. She couldn''t help butugh. It was really not easy to have Calvin treat her. She had to say it in both direct and allusive ways! Followed Calvin to get off the car and walked into the restaurant, Jocelyn found that there were no customers here. It was dinner time. How could such a high-end restaurant have no customers? In fact, Jocelyn didn''t know yet that Calvin had made a blocking book. Now, apart from the two of them, no other customers would appear. The environment in the restaurant was very inviting. Chinese food always had a romantic feeling of candlelight dinner. Jocelyn was quietly admiring the man in front of her while enjoying the delicate food. She found that Calvin was quite gentle and elegant while eating. It was a delightful experience to watch him eating. When she was enjoying the perfect moment, the phone rings disturbed the peaceful atmosphere at that moment. Jocelyn''s phone rang. She looked down and saw an unknown number. But she recognized that it was Ernest''s number. Her eyebrows twisted together subconsciously, and she didn''t want to answer the phone, especially at such a beautiful moment. She felt sick when seeing his phone number. Perhaps the phone ringing interrupted Calvin''s meal. The man''s eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. Jocelyn soon picked up the phone and apologized, "Excuse me." But before she got up, the man said in a low voice, "Sit down!" Did he mean to have her answer the phone here? Okay, anyway, she didn''t do anything shameful. So Jocelyn answered the phone in front of the man. Ernest''s voice came from the other side. He asked whether she had contacted Lilly and reminded her of tonight''s activity. "I have already contacted her. I will be there on time tonight." After finishing her words, Jocelyn hung up directly. To Ernest, she didn''t want to say one more word. After finishing the call, Jocelyn nced at the man sitting opposite. She noticed that Calvin''s expression was not good. She even felt that the temperature around her had decreased significantly. What was the matter? "Who will you see tonight?" Chapter 61 She Could Only Rely on Herself Chapter 61 She Could Only Rely on Herself Chapter 61 She Could Only Rely on Herself Calvin could just hear a man''s voice on the phone but didn''t know who that was. No matter who that was, he felt annoyed. He hoped she wouldn''t always trouble him. Looking at the man''s dark face, Jocelyn guessed that he might have misunderstood and soon exined, "Mr. Austin, I''m not going to meet someone. It was Ernest just now. But we were talking about business and nothing else. He called me just now to remind me of an activity tonight. That''s it." "You went back to Icehive Entertainment?" Calvin knew that Ernest was Jocelyn''s ex and Ernest had been trying to catch her. They hated each other very much. How would Jocelyn obey Ernest''s arrangement to attend the activity? "Yeah, Mr. Austin, you may not know that I have a contract with Icehive Entertainment. So I have to work for Icehive Entertainment temporary. But don''t worry, Mr. Austin. I''ll protect myself. Maybe I''ll come hometer tonight. Is that okay?" Jocelyn thought she would better tell it to him first before next arrangement. "Is this what you discussed with him before?" Hearing her exnation, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared. He was content with her confession. He had already guessed that Jocelyn might meet Ernest for this today. But he didn''t expect Ernest to be so kind. Would there be any conspiracy? "Well, I have no other choice. He caught my friend. I have to follow his words." Jocelyn didn''t hide anything from him, treating him as a friend and chatting about her helplessness. So it was! Calvin finally understood the reason why Jocelyn met Ernest and why Ernest changed his n. It was because he caught Jocelyn''s friend to force her to submit. Although Jocelyn repeatedly emphasized that she did not want him to interfere in her affairs, he could not just see her being threated and do nothing. He asked, "Which friend?" "Katie, she is my assistant." Jocelyn felt sorry for Katie. Katie followed her and had been taking care of her abroad. Now she was implicated as soon as they returned home. Jocelyn was really sorry for that. "Do you have any photos of her?" "Yes." Jocelyn didn''t refuse this time. She soon took out Katie''s photos and showed him. If Calvin could save Katie, she would be very appreciative. Calvin nced at Katie''s photo and then... That was all. He lowered his head and continued his dinner. What? He was just asking? And there was nothing more? Jocelyn was upset. She couldn''t help but asked, "Mr. Austin, will you help me save her?" "Why?" Calvin raised his head and stared at her, "You told me that I''d better not interfere in your affairs. That''s your own business!" Calvin wouldn''t tell her whether he would help her or not, making her anxious. She kept to be cool every time and asked him to stay aside and don''t interfere in your affairs. Now she was in trouble and she wanted his help? Jocelyn was speechless. Well, she did say so. Now that she refused his help every time and he didn''t want to help her, she had no reason to me him. As for saving Katie, she could only rely on herself! After dinner, Jocelyn and Calvin left the restaurant together. As they went out, Calvin asked, "What will you do this afternoon?" There were still a few hours left before the evening event. Jocelyn had something to do, "I''m going to Prisci SPA. I have to appear in my best condition for tonight''s event." Hearing that, Calvin asked, "Do you have the card?" "Yes, your mother gave me one." Jocelyn took it out and showed him. Seeing the card, Calvin had to believe that his mother really treated Jocelyn as her own daughter and would give Jocelyn everything that she had. "Okay, let Marcus send you there." Calvin did not exin. Prisci SPA was founded by the Austin family and was run by his mother before. Now it was managed by one of their branches. But it was not listed as a brand of the Austin family. So nobody knew that. ... In Prisci SPA in Glebey, it was Jocelyn''s first time to be here and she was not familiar with it. But fortunately, the staff here were all kind and gentle. They led her in. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. She didn''t know her card had a privilege. She told them it was her first time to be here. So the clerk helped her get a normal number and let her wait in the lobby. After going in, Jocelyn found that it was quite a popr ce. At first nce, she noticed there were many wealthydies waiting in line in the lobby. However, Jocelyn, with sharp eyes, soon caught sight of Natalia and Glenna in white pajamas in the crowd. It seemed that it was not her lucky day today so that she met someone she didn''t want to see. Glenna noticed Jocelyn too. The moment she saw Jocelyn standing at the door, she pulled her mother''s sleeve nervously and said, "Mom! Mom! Look! That''s Jocelyn!" Natalia turned around and saw Jocelyn, "Well, it''s true! Why did shee here?" Glenna soon acted like a good sister. She stood up immediately to wee her, "Jocelyn, it''s you! Are you here for skin care? What a coincidence, my mother and I came here for skin care too!" Faced with Glenna''s enthusiasm, Jocelyn calmly shook off her arm and kept her at a distance. Being treated like this, Glenna''s eyes soon turned wet as if she had suffered a lot of injustice, "Jocelyn, what''s wrong? Did I do anything wrong?" Seeing this, those wealthy women chatting with Natalia just now couldn''t help but asked, "Who''s this? Why is she so rude?" Natalia exined with a smile, "Sorry. She''s Glenna''s sister, Jocelyn." "This is Jocelyn? Oh, I remember I saw her in the news before. She messed up Mr. Cloutier''s wedding ceremony!" "Yeah, yeah, that''s her! What is she thinking? She eloped with someone and cheated Mr. Cloutier five years ago. Now she''s back and causing troubles. What a bitch!" "She''s following her mother, Helena, who flirted with several men at that time. How great are the mother and daughter." These wealthydies didn''t pay much attention to Jocelyn. They just scolded her contemptuously. Natalia was listening to them with a smile on her face and didn''t want to speak for Jocelyn at all. She had told thesedies a lot about Helena before. After Helena''s death, their subject shifted to Jocelyn naturally. Jocelyn nced coldly at these wealthydies... ... Chapter 62 Get Her out of Here Chapter 62 Get Her out of Here Chapter 62 Get Her out of Here She remembered their faces, especially the old woman who spoke ill of her mother and said that like mother, like daughter. It was understandable why they said so about her mother. Because her mother Helena, with half of the Liurta bloodline, was famous for her beauty throughout Glebey and had many admirers. It was said that Helena was a nightmare for every wealthydy. As long as Helena was present, they were all afraid that their husband would fall in love with her. Until Helena died, all the wealthydies could rest assured. However, even if Helena died, many wealthy women would still speak ill of her, trampling on her soul. Jocelyn could tolerate being insulted by others, but she couldn''t tolerate her mother being insulted. She didn''t say anything, but picked up a ss of orange juice from the nearby shelf, walked over directly, and poured it on that woman''s face. Suddenly, the wealthy woman''s face was stained with yellow orange juice, and her white bathrobe was also in a mess. "No..." That woman screamed, wiped the orange juice off her face, stood up and shouted, "What are you doing? Why did you do that?" "Your mouth is too dirty and it needs to be cleaned." Jocelyn said coldly, with a cold smile on her face. "Oh, Estelle, are you okay? I''m really sorry..." Natalia saw Jocelyn sshed the juice on her friend, she apologized and med Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, what are you doing? Apologize to Mrs. Byrne right now." "I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize? She should apologize for talking nonsense." Glenna acted like a kind sister and persuaded, "Jocelyn, how could you do that? You should apologize to Mrs. Byrne!" Standing in front these people, Jocelyn didn''t apologize but warned, "It''s orange juice this time. Next time if anyone dares to speak ill of my mother again, it won''t be orange juice again." Estelle was so angry. Seeing the ordinary number in her hands, she guessed that she had no special identity. So she soon called the bodyguard, "This woman is causing trouble here. Get her out of here right now! She just poured drinks at me!" Soon, several staff and bodyguards came. Seeing the stains on Mrs. Byrne, the bodyguard looked at Jocelyn and made a gesture, "Lady, if you caused trouble here. We will invite you to get out!" "I''m here for skin care. They offended me first. Why don''t you drive them away?" Jocelyn asked. Mrs. Byrne said arrogantly, "I''m one of the noble memberships here. The one should leave is you, an ordinary customer. You don''t even have a membership card. How dare youe here? You''d better get out by yourself! Today I''m here. You''re not allowed to be here! Come on, get her out of here!" Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Relying on the power of the Byrne family and being a frequent guest of Prisci SPA, Mrs. Byrne aimed to teach Jocelyn a lesson today and let her know that she shouldn''t offend her. Natalia added, "Jocelyn, you''d better leave now. Don''t let Mrs. Byrne get angry. This ce is not suitable for you toe. Leave now!" Jocelyn smiled with mockery, "Because I''m not a member, you want to drive me away? Is that reasonable? So as long as I have a membership card, I can stay here, right?" Mrs. Byrneughed, "What do you think of Prisci SPA? Do you think you can get a card with money? Give it a try! If you seed, I''ll kneel down and kowtow to you!" Everyone knew that a membership card of Prisci SPA was a symbol of upper ss status. Prisci SPA implemented a membership rmendation system, which meant anyone wanted to join its membership had a rmendation of a guarantor. With money but with a guarantor, no one was allowed to join as a member. It was because Mrs. Byrne knew this that she dared to shout at Jocelyn and said that. Jocelyn didn''t want to use Beatrice''s card at first. She wanted to pay for her own. But they were forcing her! In front of everyone, she calmly took out the diamond VIP card from her pocket and said, "I don''t need to apply for a card. I already have one. What? Mrs. Byrne? Kneel down and kowtow now!" Seeing Jocelyn''s card, those wealthy women, the staff and bodyguards were all shocked. Looking at the diamond VIP card in her hand, Mrs. Byrne just could believe it, "No way! How could you get a diamond VIP card?" She didn''t believe it at all. With the identity of the Byrne family, she could only apply for a golden card. Jocelyn left the Murray family. She should get a gold card like Natalia. After thinking, Mrs. Byrne questioned, "This card must not belong to you! You stole it? Or it''s fake! Aren''t you afraid we''ll call the police?" "It is not mine. My friend lent it to me. The card is true. If you don''t believe it, you can ask the staff here to check it." "Jocelyn handed the card to one of the staff, who changed her attitude immediately the moment he saw the diamond VIP card. He took over the card with a tray and then went to verify it. Not long after, not only did the staffe back, but also the manager of Prisci SPA came. The manager said respectfully to Jocelyn, "Ms. Murray, wee to Prisci SPA. You have the diamond VIP card of Prisci SPA. Now you can enjoy the highest treatment from Prisci SPA." Jocelyn nced coldly at those wealthydies. "What else do you want to say now?" She thought. She was so grateful to Beatrice. If she hadn''t insisted on giving her the card, how could she defeat these women today? Hearing the manager''s words, Glenna felt unbnced. She whispered to her mother, "Mom, how could Jocelyn have a diamond card? How could it be even higher than our card? How could it be like this?" Natalia didn''t know what was going on. Before she asked, the manager continued, "Sorry,dies, your membership cards have been cancelled. From now on, you will no longer be a member of Prisci SPA. Please leave here now!" Those wealthy women were stunned and said, "What? Why did you cancel our cards? What do you mean? We''re not members anymore? How could it be? Who said that?" The manager exined politely, "This is what Ms. Prisci said personally on the phone just now. She said you offended her VIP guest and Prisci SPA no longer wees you." It was well known that Ms. Prisci was the founder of Prisci SPA. Throughout the upper ss, Ms. Prisci had the supreme status and no one dared to offend her. Now Ms. Prisci had personally said she wanted to drive them away, and they had no choice. They just couldn''t figure it out. How could Jocelyn be friends with Ms. Prisci? ... Chapter 63 Dont Make Any Mistakes Chapter 63 Don''t Make Any Mistakes Chapter 63 Don''t Make Any Mistakes Because they were no longer members, the bodyguards didn''t have to be polite to them anymore. They threw them away together with their belongings and clothes. These wealthydies were all kicked out, cursing. They all remembered Jocelyn. Glenna and Natalia were angry too. Glenna said, "Mom, we came here for the event tonight. Now she''s messed up everything!" Being close with Theresa, Theresa had sent them invitations before and asked them to support her. That was why they came here. But now they couldn''t do it, and their good mood had also been destroyed. What was more, Glenna received a message from Theresa. Theresa told her that she met Jocelyn and Todd was having lunch together this noon and they looked so close. She also sent a picture of them two to Glenna. Although there was only a man''s back in the picture, Glenna could recognize that was Todd. After seeing the message and the picture, Glenna was almost pissed off. Damn Jocelyn, how dared she flirt with Todd as soon as she returned! Everyone knew that the Murray family and the Garner family had a good rtionship and they had the intention to get a closer rtion rtionship through a marriage. Glenna thought that meant Todd would be her fiance. In fact, Glenna used topare herself to Jocelyn in everything. She must have everything that Jocelyn had. And she must do everything that Jocelyn could do. She wanted to defeat Jocelyn in every aspect. So, she was so envy of Jocelyn for having a close rtionship with Todd. And then Jocelyn disappeared for five years, she thought it was her chance. It took her much effort to be close to Todd. But now, Jocelyn was back to stir up trouble again. No way! She would never allow Jocelyn to take Todd away again! ... In Prisci SPA, Jocelyn received the mostprehensive service. Through the afternoon, the service staff inside had polished her from head to toe. Jocelyn felt that her body was unobstructed and her skin looked much better. Afterpleting the SPA, Jocelyn called Beatrice and thanked her. There wasn''t too much time left. Jocelyn asked Marcus to send her to the venue-Masus Exhibition Center. At the same time, Calvin was just off work and walked out of the Plexis Group with some men. After getting into the car, Craig asked him, "Mr. Austin, are we going home now or..." "Go to Masus." Calvin said calmly. Craig soon got it. Mr. Austin was going to support Ms. Austin. Actually, Siumix Charity Night Event was held in Masus Exhibition Center and the president of Siumix Mr. Wilson invited him to attend tonight. He didn''t want to participate in such boring activities. But now because Jocelyn was going to attend it, he suddenly wanted to see what that woman would look like on stage for the first time after five years. In Masus Exhibition Center, Siumix Charity Night Event was under intense but orderly preparations. Many invited fashion professionals were entering the venue, and celebrities from all walks of life also joined in. The scene was lively and unprecedented. As Siumix''s spokesperson in Glebey, Theresa was scheduled to perform a dance to raise funds for charity that night. If she could perform well, she would have the opportunity to represent Siumix in the entire Ayrence market, even internationally. This was a very important opportunity that Theresa and Ernest did not want to miss, so they thought of having Jocelyn rece her. Jocelyn arrived at Masus Exhibition Center where the event was held, but it had already started. She went to the backstage and found Theresa''s manager Lilly. Lilly already knew that Jocelyn was the cause of Theresa''s hospitalization and didn''t have any good impression of her. She tapped her watch and asked, "Why did you onlye now?" "The event starts at 7:30 pm, and I arrived right on time. Is there a problem?" Lilly was an experienced manager who had been working in the entertainment industry for many years. Five years ago, before Jocelyn joined Icehive Entertainment, Lilly had already been working there. At that time, Veronica, who was a neer, was often bullied by Lilly. Jocelyn had helped Veronica and offended Lilly because of that. Therefore, they had an old grudge and didn''t need to pretend to be polite when they met again. Jocelyn arrived on time, and Lilly couldn''t find fault with her. She could only urge her, "Hurry up and get your makeup done! By the way, did Mr. Cloutier tell you everything you need to know tonight?" "Yes." "Okay, let me remind you again of the details you need to pay attention to tonight." Lilly briefed Jocelyn on the event details and then led her to the dedicated makeup room for Nick, the makeup artist, to do her makeup. When makeup artist Nick saw Jocelyn, he was impressed. Having been a makeup artist for a long time, he had seen many celebrities, but he hadn''t seen many with such good skin. Jocelyn hade without any makeup, but her skin was full of cogen and looked snowy-white and delicate, as if it would glow. "Wow, your skin is so amazing! It looks like it''s going to shine! How do you take care of it?" Nick also knew Jocelyn''s identity, but he didn''t mind. "I just finished a spa at Prisci SPA." Jocelyn told the truth. "Oh my god, you''re a member of Prisci SPA? I''ve heard that their treatments are excellent, no wonder your skin is so good. But it also shows that you have good skin quality, unlike some people whose skin is as rough as tree bark and doesn''t see much effect even with daily care."Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Nick had a straightforward personality and spoke whatever came to his mind, without noticing that Lilly was standing next to them. Upon hearing his words, Lilly instinctively touched her own rough, tree bark-like face. Was Nick making fun of her on purpose? "Hurry up! Hurry up and put on your makeup! Nick, don''t be too detailed, just do it simply." Lilly urged Nick and didn''t want him to waste time chitchatting with Jocelyn. Nick started working with his tools, but he thought that even without makeup, Jocelyn was beautiful and didn''t need much work to be done. While Jocelyn was getting her makeup done, Lilly briefed her on the event process. At the beginning, there was a celebrity red carpet signing, followed by a live charity auction to raise funds, and at the end, there would be a live performance. After the performance, if Theresa raised more money, it meant that she had more influence and appeal, and Siumix may discuss cooperation with Icehive Entertainment for future endorsements. When Nick finished doing Jocelyn''s makeup, Lilly handed her a half-mask, "Put on this mask and choose your clothes. We will have a rehearsalter. Your main task tonight is to perform the final dance segment for Theresa. During the final interactive interview, speak only what you are supposed to, and let me handle the rest, got it?" She meant to let Jocelyn be a vase and a body double. As long as her face was not seen, she should not be recognized, and Siumix had not contacted Theresa herself anyway. Nick nced at the mask and Lilly and chuckled inwardly. He found Icehive Entertainment''s approach to be quite annoying. After all, Jocelyn was once an award-winning actress! However, as a makeup artist, he couldn''t do much and could only do his job to make her beautiful. "I understand." Jocelyn took the mask and put it on her face, then followed Nick to try on clothes. She changed into Siumix''s dance gown, stood in front of the mirror, and was stunned by how breathtaking she looked. She looked transformed, and even Jocelyn herself could hardly recognize herself. No wonder Siumix was an internationally famous luxury brand and was pursued by many socialites. The dress made a difference when worn. Nick apuded at her transformation, "Oh my god, you are so beautiful! It looks like only you can wear this beautiful dress. Jocelyn, are you a local? Your features are very special, especially your eyes, they are so beautiful!" Even Lilly was impressed by Jocelyn''s appearance and aura. She had to admit that Jocelyn had a greater advantage than Theresa in terms of personality and aura. This could be one of the reasons why Jocelyn won the Best Actress Award at such a young age while Theresa had been in the industry for so many years and had not won any award. Lilly thought that as long as everything went smoothly at night, with Jocelyn''s temperament, she could definitely help Theresa sessfully win the global endorsement of Siumix. After changing her clothes, Jocelyn followed Lilly to the rehearsal. Dancing was not a difficult task for her. Her mother was a famous singer and dancer, and she had been immersed in it since childhood. She had a talent for dancing. As long as she watched it once, she could basically do it. The rehearsal went smoothly, and after dancing with the dancers three times, everyone found their rhythm. Lilly had seen Jocelyn''s dance and was relieved, hoping that she could perform well and not make any mistakester! As the real Theresa did not show up, the red carpet session was skipped, and Jocelyn just had to wait for the final performance. The previous charity auction sessions had all ended and now it was time for the charity performance by Theresa, the spokesperson of Siumix in Glebey. "Jocelyn, it''s your turn. Just do as I instructed you earlier, don''t worry about anything else. After the performance, go back to the backstage, change your clothes, and wait for the next session. OK?" "OK." At this moment, the ssic music started ying on the Siumix stage. Jocelyn stood at the entrance of the backstage, taking a deep breath and adjusting her breath and mindset. ... Chapter 64 She Would Never Let Jocelyn Succeed Chapter 64 She Would Never Let Jocelyn Seed Chapter 64 She Would Never Let Jocelyn Seed After five years of absence from the screen, it was somewhat ufortable for Jocelyn to face the stage and bright lights again. However, she had no other way out. Katie was still in the hands of Ernest, so she could not make any mistakes. After adjusting herself, Jocelyn and her dance troupe walked onto the stage, making a grand entrance. As soon as she appeared, the audience erupted in enthusiastic apuse. All eyes were on her, and the silver mask on her face added a touch of mystery, making her stunningly beautiful. Her dress was mostly white, and the skirt was particrlyrge and ornate, adorned with jewels and feathers, along with aplex headpiece. Dancing under the lights, she seemed light and graceful, like a swan spreading its wings. Beautiful! All those who saw her thought only one word: beautiful! The dance that Jocelyn was going to perform tonight was rted to swans, and the name was "Swan". As the ssical music yed, Jocelyn began to stretch her limbs and dance gracefully. At the same time, the big screen disyed the love donations that could be collected from her dance, and all the audience, both inside and outside the venue, could participate in the donation by scanning the QR code with their phones. Jocelyn concentrated on her dance, not distracted by anyone in the audience. She danced more and more rxed, integrating herself with the dance perfectly. As her dance went on, the red heart on the big screen showing the donations kept increasing. The director of the Siumix event and several main leaders sat in the audience, appreciating Jocelyn''s performance. They were very satisfied with Theresa''s acting, dancing, and elegant temperament, which matched the international style of Siumix. Even the silver mask on her face left a deep impression. Jocelyn didn''t look around, ignoring the audience''sments, and focused on every beat of her dance without any distractions. So she didn''t know that there was a pair of cold eyes in the box on the side of the stage, following her every move and openly admiring her. Calvin watched the shining woman on stage from afar and quietly appreciated her with a proud smile on his lips. When everyone was admiring the beauty and charm of the woman on the stage, he had an impulse to tell everyone, "Look, that''s my wife!" Suppressing his emotions, Calvin made sure no one could see his true thoughts. The man sitting across from him with golden hair and blue eyes was Wells, the CEO of Siumix. With a regretful tone, he said to Calvin, "Mr. Austin this dancing girl looks good with a great demeanor, but unfortunately, she''s not single." Calvin withdrew his gaze and nced at the man in front of him, knowing he was an omnivorous man who pursued both men and women. He was afraid that Wells might harass Jocelyn, so he immediately dispelled his thoughts and dered, "She''s my woman." "Huh?" Wells was surprised by his statement. As far as he knew, Theresa was married, wasn''t she? Didn''t she belong to Ernest? But it was hard to say what was true or false in the entertainment industry. Maybe Theresa and Calvin had a special rtionship that no one knew about! Since she was Calvin''s woman, she naturally couldn''t be coveted by him. Wells pondered to himself that his n was to select a local spokesperson in Atdes as the spokesperson for the Ayrence market after the charity night came to an end, in order to expand their territory in the future. Theresa was already the spokesperson for Glebey, so selecting her as their spokesperson for the Ayrence market would be a natural choice. This way, they could rely on Theresa''s and Calvin''s rtionship to achieve cooperation with the Plexis Group, which would be a win-win situation. Thinking of this, Wells had already made a decision in his heart. Jocelyn''s dance continued, and she leaped and flew on stage several times, eliciting cheers from the audience. These moves were improvised, but they had a great effect, and charitable donations continued to increase. Calvin saw that everyone was supporting Jocelyn''s dance, and as her husband, he naturally couldn''t fall behind. He ordered Craig to take care of it immediately. Jocelyn''s dance was sessful, and by the second half, she had raised 22,000 dors in donations, which was a record-breaking amount for such events. However, at this moment, the heart-shaped image on the big screen skyrocketed, and the bar chart of the donations also doubled in height. The entire audience was amazed, and everyone apuded her. Until Jocelyn''s dance ended, charitable donations exceeded 2 million dors. The entire audience was stunned because this was the highest amount of money earned through performance in the history of the charity night and broke all the records. After the dance, Bob, Siumix''s event director, appeared on stage and praised Jocelyn, "Ms. Chavez, you are the most perfect woman I have ever seen. Your dance is charming, and you have raised the highest amount for personal donations in this charity event." "Than you." Jocelyn thanked him politely and left the stage to change. Subsequently, the host went on stage again and invited the closing dancers and Bob to the stage. Bob briefly introduced the development process of the charity night and summarized the charity activities of this event, focusing on praising Theresa. During the interaction, Bob expressed a special desire to see Theresa''s true appearance, requesting that she remove the mask on her face. At this moment, Lilly was standing next to Jocelyn and secretly pinched her waist with her hand, indicating that she should not act recklessly and remove the mask. Jocelyn knew better than to remove it. She knew what she was doing, and wouldn''t joke around with Katie''s life. Even if she were to show her face, it would not be today. In response to Bob''s request, Jocelyn did not respond and instead made an excuse with a smile to evade the request. However, to everyone''s surprise, a piercing voice suddenly erupted from the audience. "She''s fake! She''s not Theresa!" Everyone turned their heads to the sound, and Jocelyn also looked over. A woman had stood up from the crowd on the T-shaped tform. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Jocelyn recognized her at a nce. It was her hypocritical younger sister, Glenna After receiving Theresa''s message, Glenna became restless. She heard that Jocelyn went to see Todd and was afraid that Jocelyn would steal him away from her. Moreover, she learned from Theresa that Jocelyn caused Theresa to almost miscarry and came to participate in the charity night in her ce. Her intentions were too obvious, as she wanted to take over Theresa''s position. Coincidentally, she also got a ticket to the charity night and came here not to support Jocelyn, but to reveal her hypocritical face face-to-face! She would never let Jocelyn seed! ... Chapter 65 Make Her Embarrass Herself in Front of Everyone Chapter 65 Make Her Embarrass Herself in Front of Everyone Chapter 65 Make Her Embarrass Herself in Front of Everyone Looking at Jocelyn wearing a mask and dancing on stage, others couldn''t recognize her, but Glenna could recognize her at a nce. Because she knew her too well, even if Jocelyn turned to ashes, she could still recognize her! She wanted to make aeback, but Glenna wouldn''t let her. She was determined to ruin her n and expose her conspiracy. Shouted by Glenna in this untoward situation, everyone in the audience looked curiously at Jocelyn, all wanting to see who was under the mask. The situation was out of control. Even if Lilly had three heads and six arms, she couldn''t control Jocelyn on stage, and she couldn''t stop Glennao''s mouth in the audience. Glenna was impulsive and shouted, "She''s not Theresa! She''s a fake! Why does she wear a mask? If she has the guts, she should take it off and show us her face!" Glenna did not know that the event was nned by Erenest, who had Jocelyn rece Theresa to help her with her announcements for a while. If Theresa knew about Jocelyn''s behavior, she would probably be livid. At this moment, Glenna was like a madman, no longer rational, only wanting to expose Jocelyn and make her embarrass herself in front of everyone. The host on stage did not expect the situation to turn out like this. Even if he wanted to salvage it, it was somewhat hopeless. How could such an important asion like the annual charity event have such a thing happen? Bob on stage soon turned ck-faced and asked, "Are you Ms. Chavez or an imposter? Please remove your mask." Journalists in the audience also smelled the scent of gossip and aimed their cameras at Jocelyn, all wanting to capture the scene of her removing her mask. "Bob, don''t listen to that woman''s nonsense. She is Theresa. Otherwise, how could she dance so beautifully?" "I want to see for myself!" Lilly wanted to find an excuse to cover it up, but it was toote. Bob took off Jocelyn''s mask himself. Jocelyn''s true face was revealed. Bob had seen Theresa''s photo beforehand, but what appeared in front of him was apletely different, yet still beautiful, stranger''s face. He asked in astonishment, "Who... who are you?" "Jocelyn! She''s Jocelyn! A shameless female artist! How dare she stand on the stage!" Glenna was afraid that her n wouldn''te to fruition and continued to shout below. Jocelyn looked at Glenna coldly and sneered in her heart. Perhaps it was because she had embarrassed her and her mother at Prisci SPA before, so now she couldn''t stand to see her do well and wanted to make her publicly humiliate herself. It didn''t matter if she made a fool of herself, the problem was if her identity was exposed, Ernest would not easily let go of Katie! What a stupid woman! Bob didn''t know much about female actresses in Atdes, let alone Jocelyn, who had been away from the entertainment industry for five years. He didn''t even know who she was. However, the reporters at the scene all knew her. The eyes of the media were sharp, and coupled with Jocelyn''s previous two incidents, the reporters were not unfamiliar with her. "Jocelyn was a child star who won The Bomia Award for Best Actress at the age of 18. Five years ago, she suddenly announced her retirement!" "Jocelyn has been retired for five years, but recently returned to Atdes. Is she nning toe out of retirement? Why did she attend the event on behalf of Theresa? "Where is Theresa? "Why did Icehive Entertainment use an outdated female celebrity to impersonate Theresa? "Besides, Jocelyn probably doesn''t need to resort to this kind of hype to make aeback, does she?" The audience and reporters on the scene all felt the deception, and were very disgusted with Jocelyn''s approach. Bob was even angrier that Icehive Entertainment arranged an outdated retired female celebrity to deceive them at Siumix Charity Night Event. There were all kinds of questioning and cursing voices from the audience below. Jocelyn became the focus of the media, and the originally good charity event was now messed up. All the people who cheered for her just now are now voicing their condemnation. "Quick, think of a solution!" Jocelyn looked to Lilly, hoping she could handle the situation. However, Lilly was Theresa''s agent after all, and she could not shift the me onto herself or Theresa. Her first reaction was to abandon Jocelyn. She pretended to be surprised and eximed, "Jocelyn, why are you here? Where did you hide Theresa? Why didn''t you let her attend the event? What is your intention?" Jocelyn was bitten back by Lilly, and now no one would listen to her exnation. Lilly immediately exined to the media, "I''m sorry, as Theresa''s manager, I just found out that her booking was taken away. I will report this to thepany and investigate as soon as possible." Lilly immediately became the representative of the victim and apologized to Bob, "I''m sorry, Mr. Bob, we will give Siumix a reasonable exnation." Lilly was now apletely strange face, turning to question Jocelyn again, "Jocelyn, what are you trying to do? Haven''t you already caused enough trouble for Theresa? You ruined her engagement ceremony earlier and now you want to steal her booking?" Anyone who had read about Jocelyn ''s disruption of Ernest''s engagement ceremony knew about a rumor circting online that said Jocelyn , who had been dumped by a foreign bigshot, came back for development and was still lingering on Ernest. That''s why she wanted to ruin the engagement ceremony and take Ernest back from Theresa. So now, Jocelyn taking Theresa''s resources would be mistaken for her deliberate revenge against Theresa. Lilly was indeed cunning. She promptly shifted the me onto Jocelyn , using her of secretly plotting and avoiding responsibility. The usations in the audience became louder and everyone was waiting for Jocelyn to exin. They all wanted to know her intentions. Siumix Charity Night invited popr online stars, as well as celebrities and entrepreneurs from all walks of life. Jocelyn ''s behavior of deceiving everyone was just too much to bear! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. It was precisely because of her past negative rumors and scandals that all her good performances and the amount of donations she had raised were erased. No one cared about how great her dance was or how much donation she had umted. At this point, Jocelyn didn''t exin anything because if she opened her mouth, she would be overpowered by hundreds of voices present. Even if she exined, she was afraid that no one would believe her. If she really told the truth, she was afraid that Ernest would hurt Katie in a fit of rage. She couldn''t take that risk. At the moment, the reporters were also deceived by Lilly''s words and asked sharp questions to Jocelyn. "Jocelyn, why did you want to steal Theresa''s booking? Did you n this in advance?" "Jocelyn, were you participating in Siumix Charity Night Event to promote youreback or simply to seek revenge on Theresa?" "Jocelyn, taking someone else''s resources without permission, how is it different from giarism and copying?" ... Chapter 66 Treat Him So Rudely Chapter 66 Treat Him So Rudely Chapter 66 Treat Him So Rudely The questions below became sharper and Bob was furious, shouting, "You''re Jocelyn, right? As an artist, where is your professional ethics? I didn''t expect your character to be so despicable, you''re simply a fraud! I will file aint against you! You ruined our charity event and defiled its sanctity. You don''t even deserve to wear our Siumix clothes and participate in our finale performance. Take off your clothes immediately and get out!" "Get out, you fraud!" "Take it off, take it off! Take off your clothes and get out!" "Get out..." Many people were heckling and demanding that she take off her clothes and leave, and Jocelyn hadpletely incited their anger. Glenna, who was in the audience, saw Jocelyn be the target of public criticism and gloated over themotion. Now that she ruined Jocelyn''s reputation, let''s see how she can continue to survive in Glebey. Just went back to where she came from! Jocelyn scanned the faces of these people coldly. Being forced to take off her clothes in public was unprecedented. This was just as humiliating as being searched. Jocelyn had wanted to keep quiet and calm the situation, but now it had escted to a point that vited her dignity. How could she continue to remain silent? "Mr. Bob! I would like to ask what the purpose of the Siumix Charity Night event is?" Jocelyn snatched the microphone from Lilly''s hand and finally spoke up, questioning Bob loudly. Bob was taken aback by the question, but then answered her sternly, "Our goal in holding this event is to raise charity and help more people in need." "Great words! But you used me of ruining your charity event. But what about the loving donations just now? Are they just a void data? Charity is about gathering love, not seeking fame and profits. If I want to make aeback, why should I wear a mask?" Jocelyn''s rhetorical question silenced everyone present. She was right. If she wanted to make aeback, why hide it? "I did my best to contribute to this charity event in my own way. Is that wrong?" Jocelyn''s words were resounding and Bob fell silent for a moment before getting more angry and ashamed. "Ms. Murray, firstly, you were not invited by our event organizers and you are not on the guest list. Your intrusion still needs to be investigated. Now, we cannot ignore the damage you have caused to our event just because of your performance just now. Anyway, please take off our costume and leave now!" Not only were the official organizers not weing her, but many of her peers also expressed their disapproval of her, believing that Jocelyn was making excuses for herself. Seeing that Jocelyn refused to take off her clothes, Lilly pushed her with a cruel remark, "Jocelyn, why are you still standing there? Didn''t you hear us? Take off your clothes now!" Jocelyn was caught off guard and fell forward uncontrobly. Just when she thought she was going to fall off the stage, a shadow rushed over, a long and powerful hand reached out and grabbed her wrist in time, pulling her back. The next second, Jocelyn fell into a broad embrace, and a faint fragrance of Snow Larkspur permeated her nose. Smelling the familiar scent, Jocelyn was startled and looked up to see a perfect jawline. Was it Calvin? She never thought that the person who would appear by her side at her most embarrassing moment would be him! Calvin was originally sitting in the audience coldly watching everything happening on stage. Seeing everyone criticizing her and her inability to defend herself, he became angry. At the beginning, Jocelyn chose to remain silent for the sake of her assistant''s safety. Butter, when Bob spoke rudely and Jocelyn retorted, he still refused to listen and was stubborn. Even if Jocelyn could withstand the condemnation of others, how could Calvin endure it? After all, Jocelyn was his nominal wife. To bully her was a disgrace to him. His woman could not be criticized by others. So Calvin stood up! At this moment, he also wore a mask and his true face could not be seen. Only his perfect jawline and the strong aura of coldness and nobility emanating from his body could be seen. He supported Jocelyn, stood her up, and scanned the crowd with a cold gaze. "Who said she''s not worthy of wearing Siumix''s clothes and insulted Siumix''s charity night? Do you still need her to take off her clothes now?" Everyone looked at Bob, who nodded. "It was me who said that. She ruined our event and should be held responsible!" "Is that so? Wells!" After Calvin called out Wells'' name, Bob appeared visibly stunned. Wells was their CEO! Soon, a tall, golden-haired man walked up from below the stage, smiling and saying, "No, no, no! Ms. Murray doesn''t need to take off her clothes. Your performance just now was excellent." Bob saw their CEOing and wanted to seize the opportunity toin. "CEO! She''s just a fake, not supposed to be here. She should leave." Calvin couldn''t bear it anymore and said, "Shut up! What right do you have to be so arrogant here? You''re the one who should leave!" Except for Jocelyn, no one else recognized the man on the stage as Calvin. He had too strong an aura. The crowd was in an uproar. Bob was even more shocked and couldn''t find words to speak. Who was this man who treated him so rudely? Calvin turned to Wells and said, "Wells! It''s time to rece your event director!" Wells nced at his event director and nodded, "You''re right, it''s time to rece. Bob, you can leave." Bob copsed on the ground, totally stunned. Why he was the one kicked out? Finally, Bob was dragged out by two bouncers. But it wasn''t over yet. Calvin pointed his finger at the camera of the journalists, saying, "And you, who just follow other people''s words and cause trouble. What right do you have to be a reporter? You''re all unworthy!" The reporters were all stunned, and many of them lowered their camera lenses in fear and didn''t dare to take any more photos. "And all of you here, do you understand the meaning of charity? You are all willing to do whatever it takes for fame! When you see others in distress, you take advantage of their misfortune. What right do you have to sit here?" After Calvin scolded Bob and those people, many people in the audience lowered their heads and dared not say anything. Hearing Calvin standing up for her and scolding Bob and those people, Jocelyn felt warm and her nose was a little sour. It''s been a long time since she felt protected by someone. Who would have thought that the ck-hearted Calvin would stand up for her at her most downtrodden and embarrassing moment, and shield her from all the criticism? "Who else is making a fuss and saying that Jocelyn is not worthy? Come out!" Under Calvin''s authority, not a single person dared to make a fuss anymore. In this way, apanied by bodyguards, Calvin took Jocelyn off the stage. All the reporters were silent, but they had amon curiosity: who was the masked man? Even Wells showed him some respect, so who was he? Why he stood out and spoke for Jocelyn? Was he Jocelyn''s rumored benefactor? Glenna had the same doubts. She didn''t know who the man who stood up for Jocelyn was, but at least it showed that Jocelyn had more than one man in her life. Five years ago, Jocelyn left with a foreign man. Now this man looked like a local. It was not hard to see that Jocelyn was a woman of loose morals. It was true. After Calvin and Jocelyn left, the journalists naturally wouldn''t miss the opportunity for an interview and immediately turned their attention to Wells. Wells epted the interview and in front of the camera, he did not me Jocelyn for anything. Instead, he looked at the bigger picture and said, "I just fired our event director. Now I want to convey a message to everyone that the Siumix charity g is not just a show or for publicity, but to truly do something useful for society. To infect more people through the appeal of celebrities. Just now, Ms. Murray was quite right. Charity is a collection of love, not a pursuit of fame and reputation. Everyone has the right to participate." In this way, Wells'' remarks promptly stabilized the event, allowing it to continue. However, this charity g was still greatly affected. After the charity event, Wells also criticized Icehive Entertainment''s practice of recing people without authorization in a written statement, stating that he would sue both Icehive Entertainment and Ernest, and demandedpensation from Icehive Entertainment. ... Lilly took advantage of the chaos and left the scene of the event. She timely called Theresa and told her what had happened. After listening to her description, Theresa was really angry. Initially, they could have sessfully passed off the situation. Furthermore, Jocelyn was obedient and also performed well, but it was all because of Glenna''s appearance that led to Jocelyn''s identity being exposed. Truly, opponents could be fearless like gods, but teammates that were as stupid as pigs would be more fearsome. Glenna was simply a stupid pig! She secretly informed Glenna that Jocelyn and Todd were having dinner together, and even suggested that she deal with Jocelyn. Who knew that she would go and cause trouble at the charity event! Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Everything was ruined because of her! The CEO of Siumix had already stated that they would pursue Icehive Entertainment and Ernest''s responsibility. If they med it on her, what could she do? This not only affected her endorsement, but also her future development. It was really maddening! "Ernest, what should we do now?" Theresa was on the hospital bed, anxiously asking Ernest about the solution. She was worried that it would ruin her career. Ernest had already received the news and watched the live video. He was furious, but could only comfort Theresa, "Don''t worry, I''ll handle this. I''ll arrange for the PR team right away." ... Outside the Masus Exhibition Center, Jocelyn was getting ready to get in the car with Calvin, but there was a big problem. Her dress was too big and she couldn''t fit in the car. ... Chapter 67 Mr. Austin, Your Face is Flushed Chapter 67 Mr. Austin, Your Face is Flushed Chapter 67 Mr. Austin, Your Face is Flushed "Quickly go change." Calvin took out a handbag from the car and handed it to Jocelyn. She took a look and found that it was women''s clothing, feeling moved in her heart. "Mr. Austin, you''ve prepared clothes for me in advance? You''re so thoughtful." Jocelyn didn''t expect that Calvin woulde here tonight, let alone prepare clothes for her. It was hard to tell, but Calvin does have a thoughtful side, he just didn''t usually show it and didn''t care to. "Don''t be presumptuous, it''s just a gift from Wells, it''s a waste to throw it away." Calvin felt the need to exin, otherwise it would seem like he was trying too hard. "Okay." Jocelyn thought, "Is it that difficult too admit that you prepared it for me?" "You only have three minutes." "Okay." Calvin got in the car and waited for her while Jocelyn quickly ran to the restroom with the bag to change her clothes. After changing her clothes, Jocelyn came back with her big dress and Craig opened the trunk to help her put it in. When she got in the car, Jocelyn sat next to Calvin, asking with a smile, "Mr. Austin, do I look good in this? What he prepared for her was a violet Chanel suit, which fit her size perfectly and looked especially good on her. "So-so." Calvin looked at her coldly and without emotion. "Just so-so" Jocelyn was a little unsatisfied with his reaction. She deliberately leaned over and teased, "How could it be just so-so? Mr. Austin, could you take another closer look?" "Sit well." Calvin spoke seriously and even pushed her head back. ... God! Why was it so hard to hear apliment from him? Although Calvin looked like he was indifferent, Jocelyn was still very grateful to him in her heart. From what happened tonight, it showed that Calvin was a very chivalrous and domineering man when it came to "protecting his wife." He didn''t turn a blind eye when she was being bullied by the media, but instead stood up for her and helped her against the reporters. If she could get a real man like him, Jocelyn couldn''t help thinking, then in the future he would certainly be an unwavering defender of his wife. "Should she really fall in love with Calvin?" Jocelyn wondered. If she did and they became a real couple, with such a powerful husband, wouldn''t she be able to do whatever she wanted in Glebey? Thinking about this, Jocelyn leaned in and coquettishly said, "Mr. Austin, no matter what, I have to thank you tonight. If it weren''t for you, I might have had a miserable time tonight. You treat me so well, and I don''t know how to repay you. Maybe...agreeing to be yours would be a good option?" Jocelyn finished with a smile and observed Calvin''s expression. Calvin''s face turned slightly red when he heard her words. Jocelynughed and teased, "Mr. Austin, your face is flushed!" So she was just joking? He had taken it seriously! The car finally stopped in front of Fallcastle, Tundra. As the car stopped, Jocelyn got off and saw a tiny figure running toward them in the darkness, happily calling out, "Daddy! Mommy! You''re finally back!" "Tammy!" Calvin responded and suddenly found the feeling of being called daddy by his sweet little one wasn''t bad at all. Jocelyn smiled and asked, "Did Tammy wait for us?" "Yes, yes!" Tammy immediately ran over and held Jocelyn''s hand. Jocelyn gently patted her little head and said, "Hmm, Tammy is so cute." Tammy definitely knew how to tter. Noticing that Jocelyn''s outfit was different from when she left in the morning, she praised, "Mommy, you look so pretty!" Indeed, it was her daughter who knew best like her! Jocelyn asked her daughter, "Tell Mommy, is it the clothes that are pretty or is it Mommy who is pretty?" Laughing, she lowered her head and asked her daughter with a cute expression. Tammy answered without hesitation, "Mommy''s clothes are pretty, but mommy''s even prettier! My mommy is the most beautiful and the best-looking girl in the world. You''re the number one beauty in the universe." "Ahahaha..." The blow Jocelyn received from Calvin wasforted by her daughter. She felt so lucky to have such a thoughtful little one! Jocelyn was happy and immediately hugged her daughter tightly, giving her a big kiss. She turned to Calvin and said, "Mr. Austin did you hear what Tammy just said? You should learn from her. Language is an art. If you can talk well, you would have been married with children by now. I''m telling you!" Calvin didn''t say anything. He just gave her a nce that said, "I''m toozy to deal with a fool like you." Hopeless! Jocelyn thought Calvin was really hopeless, like a lost cause. When they entered the vi, Jocelyn saw her son Jeffrey and Sean in the living room, ying with Lego. The two children saw theme in, and Sean instinctively stood up and wanted to walk over, but was pushed away by Jeffrey. He didn''t want Sean topete with him for Mommy''s attention again. "Mommy!" Jeffrey ran to his mommy first and threw himself into her arms. He turned his head and looked triumphantly at Sean in the distance. Sean couldn''t say anything, holding a Lego block in his hand. He just silently watched with envy in his eyes. He envied the way Jeffrey and Tammy could throw themselves into their mother''s happy embrace every day. He really wanted to try it, too! But he didn''t dare. After hugging her son, Jocelyn walked over, holding their little hands. Looking at the Lego on the table, she asked, "So you guys are ying Lego? Sean, is this tank yours?" Sean nodded. "Wow, you built it so well!" Jocelyn patted Sean''s little head, smiling and praising him. Sean was touched by Ms. Murray again. It was so great. Even if he couldn''t be in his mother''s embrace, he still felt happy to be loved by Ms. Murray. When Jeffrey heard his mommy praising Sean, he felt a little dissatisfied. Quickly, he showed his own airne to his mommy and said, "Mommy, look at my airne!" "Well done, Jeffrey''s airne is also great, you guys are all talented." Jocelyn praised the children, then said, "It''s gettingte, you should take a shower and go to bed. Let''s go upstairs, I''ll help you take a shower!" "Oh, shower time!" Tammy pped happily, and Jeffrey chased after her. The siblings ran up the stairs together. Jocelyn took a few steps, turned her head and saw Sean still standing in ce. She waved at him and said, "Come on, Sean!" She would help him take a shower too? Sean was happy, put down the Lego blocks in his hand and walked over, handing his small hand to Ms. Murray. Wow, Ms. Murray''s hands were really soft, just like his mother''s. Calvin looked at his son getting along well with Jocelyn, feeling content. Since having Jocelyn and her children move in, his son has really changed a lot. He believed things would only get better in the future! Jeffrey and Sean, the two little boys, didn''t need much help from Jocelyn during their shower. She just needed to help them with their clothes and towels after they finished washing. When the children were showering, Marcus came in from outside with Jocelyn''s bag and clothing from Masus. Checking her phone, Jocelyn found there were several missed calls, including ones from Veronica and Ernest. Jocelyn knew why Ernest had called her so many times even without answering. After reading today''s news, Ernest must be furious! But it wasn''t her fault. The n was his idea, and now that it was backfired, he should deal with it himself! She wouldn''t take the responsibility! As for how to negotiate with Ernest, she had already prepared her words. She casually scrolled through the news on her phone and discovered that everyone was talking about it. The leader of Siumix Company had officially filed awsuit against Icehive Entertainment through the media, using it of fraud and demandingpensation for the losses suffered during the charity night. Icehive Entertainment had also responded, publicly apologizing and repeatedly emphasizing that it was unaware of the situation. It tried to shift all the responsibility to Jocelyn, iming that she had manipted the situation for her own benefit. In the news release, Icehive Entertainment exined that the reason why Theresa was absent from the event was because she was injured during a wire stunt while filming, and she had no knowledge of anyone taking her ce maliciously. Under the strong whitewashing of Icehive Entertainment''s news release, uninformedizens overwhelmingly sided with Icehive Entertainment, especially Theresa''s fans. Outraged by the situation, they began to denounce Jocelyn online. Topics such as "Jocelyn shamelessly stealing the spotlight at the charity night" and "Jocelyn grabbing resources" had also be hot search topics. Thements under these topics were all negative, with many using abusivenguage to attack Jocelyn. [Jocelyn stole other''s husbandst time. This time she stole other''s resource! What a shameless woman! Give it back to Theresa!] [Even if Jocelyn makes hereback, she wouldn''t be hot with such a bad character! The outdated bitch! So shameless!] [What a mean woman! She harmed Theresa''s reputation! So shameless!] [She should bepletely sealed off! Get out of the entertainment industry! Never let here back!] ... Jocelyn''s Twitter ount had been unused for five years and had be overgrown with weeds. However, today it was dug up byizens and attacked one by one. N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Theresa was not idle either. After the incident, she yed the victim in her fan group, inciting her fans to help her seek justice. Her fans almostpletely destroyed Jocelyn''s old ount in their attempts to defend their idol. Jocelyn knew all too well that the most ignorant people were those who merely followed the crowd without understanding the truth of the situation. But people often overlook the frightening power of public opinion, which Jocelyn had witnessed firsthand long ago... Chapter 68 A Cute And Handsome Prince Chapter 68 A Cute And Handsome Prince Chapter 68 A Cute And Handsome Prince An old actor who co-acted with her back then, could not resist the mental pressure of negative public opinion, and finallymitted suicide. And now, Jocelyn faced such terrible cyber violence. But she was no longer the person who could not withstand just a single blow, and she would not give up on herself due to such negative sexual scandal. Anyway, haters are going to hate. As long as she had a clear conscience, it was good to be herself. The reactions of Icehive Entertainment and Ernest were exactly what Jocelyn expected. She was not to me, but when something went wrong, public rtions of Icehive Entertainment released the news as soon as possible, andpletely shirked the responsibility, using her of hyping up for hereback. She had expected that Ernest would let her take the me. Two wrongs don''t make a right. She would have Ernest know her power after Katie was rescued. Jocelyn didn''t call Ernest. Let it go. She might as well apany the children if she had time! The three little children took a bath. Tammy came over, "Mummy, do I smell good?" "Well, Tammy smells good and looks so beautiful!" Jocelyn blew dry their hair. It was not ten o''clock yet. Tammy still had the energy to y games with Mommy. Tammy wanted to y a role-ying game, and Jocelyn agreed. She personally made a little princess-style cape for her. She put the cape and a stic princess crown on her. Wow, what a cute little girl! "Mum, I want to y too! I want to be a knight!" Jeffrey also joined in. Jocelyn also made a small cape for him, and then folded a paper hat out of colored posters and put it on his head. Jeffrey picked up a toy sword and hugged a toy pony. Now, he was a brave knight. Seeing Sean staring at them eagerly, Jocelyn also made him a small cape and a paper hat. Sean immediately became a cute and handsome little prince. "Okay Sean, now you y the role of prince in the castle. Are you ready? The monster dinosaur is going to catch the princess!" Jocelyn put on dinosaur-like clothes, pretending to be a big scary dinosaur and ying with the children in the room. "Ahhh..." Tammy pretended to be scared and ran all over the room. The little knight was very happy, chasing the "big dinosaur" and running all over the room, "Princess, I''ll save you!" But the little princess threw herself into the arms of the little prince and hugged him, "Prince, help me. The big dinosaur is so scary!" Sean acted very bravely, holding Tammy in his arms. Seeing this scene, Jeffrey was so angry that he threw his sword, "I don''t want to y anymore! I am a knight! It is me who save the princess!" Seeing that her son was angry, Jocelyn quickly proposed, "You and the prince can protect the princess together!" "No, I want to protect Tammy alone." "But Sean is also Tammy''s brother now. You two are brothers. You have to protect your sister together, you know?" Jocelyn wanted to change the child''s mind. It really took her a lot of effort to coax Jeffrey and he reluctantly agreed to y together. The children finally yed happily together again. Outside the door, Beatrice, who brought fruit to the children, heard theughter. She was happy to see Jocelyn ying games with her grandson and two other little boys. She turned around to Dustin and said, "Dustin, see? Sean is so happy!" "Yeah, since Ms. Austin came, Sean has been much more cheerful than before and loved to smile." Dustin said with relief. "Yes, let them y. I wille backter." Beatrice and Dustin went downstairs without disturbing them in the room. Jocelyn yed with the three children until ten o''clock. Tammy was sleepy and tired, "Mommy, Tammy is so sleepy..." "Okay, that''s all for today. Tammy, go to bed!" When Jocelyn put Tammy on the bed, she was already fall asleep. Jocelyn turned to the other two little guys and said, "Jeffrey, Sean, you should also go to bed early. Let us y the game another day, shall we?" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "Okay, Mommy!" Sean took off his cape. Jocelyn sent him to the room, and when they arrived at the door, Jocelyn squatted down, hold him in her arms and said with a smile, "Okay Sean, Auntie has a lot of fun tonight. Now it''s time to go to bed. Good night!" After speaking, Jocelyn kissed his forehead. Jocelyn could always feel an inexplicable closeness when she hugged him. Though Sean was not her son, but their rtionship was better than that of mother and son. It was likely that they were mother and son in the previous life, otherwise how could they feel so close in this life? Sometimes, she couldn''t help but think that if Billy was alive, he would definitely be simr to Sean. How good it would be if Sean were Billy! Oh my God! What did Sean get? Did Ms. Murray kiss him just now? The little guy who got the goodnight kiss felt happy, turned around and walked into the room. When hey on the bed, he felt like he was still dreaming. He touched his head. How strange the feeling was! Sweet and warm. Watching the child lie down, Jocelyn closed the door, went back to the room and found that there were more than ten missed calls from Ernest. Everyone could imagine how devastated the scumbag should be! Without waiting for Jocelyn to call back, Ernest made another phone call again. Jocelyn waited for a few seconds before answering it. "Hello? Jocelyn! Why don''t you answer the phone? " Ernest''s voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying an unconcealed anger. "I''m sorry, Mr. Cloutier. I left my phone at the event site and I have just got it back. How is it going?" Jocelyn tried to calm his breathing. She was tired and hot after ying the game just now. "Things are getting out of control! It''s all because of you. Your identity was exposed and Siumix Charity Night Event was messed up. They sued for damages, and Icehive Entertainment might face hugepensation." Ernest suppressed his anger and told her how serious it was. Now he really regretted it, at that time he shouldn''t have thought that he could make use of Jocelyn to do this matter by kidnapping Katie. He considered everything, except for the external factors at the scene. Ernest shirked responsibility. Couldn''t Jocelyn also shirk responsibility? ...... Chapter 69 Awkward Sleeping Posture Chapter 69 Awkward Sleeping Posture Chapter 69 Awkward Sleeping Posture Though sneering inwardly, she still said calmly, "Mr. Cloutier, how could you me me for this? At that time, Lilly apanied me all the time. She should know that I have been cooperating with the company. It was Glenna who exposed my identity. I don''t know why she suddenly appeared and exposed my identity. She should take the me." Ernest shirked responsibility. Couldn''t Jocelyn also shirk responsibility? "Don''t assume that I don''t know. Glenna is your sister. How can you prove that you didn''t arrange this in advance? But I don''t care about the reason now. This matter has already happened, and it was caused by you, so you must handle the matter yourself." Ernest was upromising, insisting on cing the me on Jocelyn. Icehive Entertainment was mired in a dilemma. The only way out was to issue an exnation by Jocelyn, so as to minimize the losses. Katie was still at his hands and that was why Ernest was so arrogant. Jocelyn couldn''t meet force with Ernest for the time being. She could onlypromise, "I see. I will be ountable for what I do. I will obey thepany''s orders, but you must not make things difficult for Katie. She has nothing to do with this matter." "I got it. " Ernest was relieved by Jocelyn''s active cooperation. "I will make a phone call to you when the company''s public rtions time is fixed." "Okay, no problem. At yourmand." Jocelyn emphasized it again, letting Ernest rx and remit vignce over her. Just after Jocelyn hung up the phone, it rang again and it was Katie. "Katie?" "Jocelyn, I''m fine. I escaped. You don¡¯t need to be threatened by Ernest anymore." Katie phoned Jocelyn immediately after she escaped. "How did you escape?" Jocelyn asked with concern, "They didn''t hurt you, did they?" "No, some unknown assants attacked them and let me go." Katie was confused and she had no idea who saved her. Jocelyn also had no idea, but it was still fortunate that Katie had escaped. "Katie, I am d you are fine. Listen, you''d better find a ce to hide temporarily and be careful." "Got it. Be careful." After Jocelyn hung up the phone, she let out a long sigh of relief. Since Katie was fine, she did not need topromise and be threatened by Ernest anymore. Since the scumbag fooled her like this, she must take revenge. Jocelyn immediately phoned Veronica. Veronica answered the phone, "Jocelyn, I''ve been waiting for your phone call. I was so worried. How about you? Where are you?" "I''m fine. I''m at a friend''s house. Don''t worry." "What should we do now? Now that your sister has messed up the event, scolding at you is all over the inte. Ernest kept throwing mud at you. It seems that he has made up his mind to let you take the me." Veronica was more worried about her. Originally, she thought that Jocelyn would use this opportunity to make ae back, but now it seemed that things have turned ugly. "I understand, Veronica. I listened to him just because Katie was at the mercy of him. Now that Katie has escaped, I don''t have to care about him anymore.Since he kept throwing mud at me regardless of conscience, I will not give up the chance to fight back. Didn''t they say that I was robbing resources to hype myeback? Now that I''ve be the scapegoat, I must do something anyway." Jocelyn decided that this Siumix charity would be the start of hereback. Let there be scandals. More scandals would only be more helpful for hereback. Higher poprity was what she needed right now. Even if she was popr for scandals, she was popr anyway. Veronica totally supported. "Okay, tell me what we should do next. Should we release the news that Theresa is pregnant first or the soft article that I wrote?" "Release the article first. However, Veronica, once it is posted, you may encounter a lot of trouble and you might find it hard to in stay in Icehive. I''m worried that Ernest will give you a hard time. How about asking a reliable influencer to post it?" Jocelyn and Veronica had agreed to let Veronica speak out as Jocelyn''s former manager so that she could sound more reliable. The loophole was that once Ernest knew that Veronica was secretly helping Jocelyn, he wouldn''t let her get away with this. "Nope! I''ll post it in my name. I have long had enough of those hypocritical people. At the worst I''ll quit. It''s no big deal. A capable man like me can find a new job anywhere, so don''t worry about me!" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. After Veronica learned about Jocelyn''s experience, she hated Ernest''s style of handling things. She had thought about job-hop, but she finally chose to bear him, leaving Jocelyn a way out. In the past few years, she had been lurking in Icehive Entertainment. She secretly caught many shameful deals of Ernest and Theresa. It was time to expose them and deliver a death blow to them. Now that Jocelyn was determined to fight back, Veronica would definitely help her without hesitation. "Good! Thank you, Veronica. If you establish a agency, I will definitely join you." Jocelyn knew Veronica very well: Veronica was ambitious, so she would leave Icehive Entertainment sooner orter. Jocelyn wanted to return to return to the top in the entertainment industry and Veronica wanted to establish her own agency. Their goals coincided. If they worked together, there would be a win-win result in the end. After she made a phone call with Veronica, Jocelyn turned off the phone. She needed a good rest in order to deal with her troubles tomorrow. Calvin took a bath. The instant he entered the room he saw the woman who upied the middle of the bed. Her sleeping posture was pretty awkward. He came up and then kicked her rudely until she woke up. Jocelyn had already fallen asleep, so she was irritated when being kicked, "What are you doing?" "Move to your side of the bed!" Calvin was unpleasant. It was Jocelyn who first proposed that either of them should sleep on their own side. But now she upied the entire bed. "Be quiet! I am trying to sleep." Jocelyn didn''t want to move. When she was sleepy she just wanted to sleep. Seeing that she refused to move, Calvin had no choice but to use his feet to move her. Jocelyn was forced to turn over and almost fell to the ground. She woke up and couldn''t help but fly into a rage, "Calvin, you are a psycho." "What did you just say? Say that again!" The man''s handsome face darkened with anger. The woman upied the bed and was rude to call him a psycho. She was ying with fire. ... Chapter 70 Like Tigress Chapter 70 Like Tigress Chapter 70 Like Tigress When Jocelyn couldn''t sleep well, she would lost her temper. She put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Am I wrong? Look at you! Can''t you be gentler to me? You kick me! I am neither a sack, nor a pillow, I am a person! Can''t you coax me with nice words? Kicking is a personal attack, you know? Listen, a rude and impolite man like you would be doomed to be lonely all life. But for the contracted marriage, you would never have a wife!" Calvin was left speechless by Jocelyn''s tirade. He wondered if he had done something wrong? He just pushed her inside with his feet. And he didn''t push with might and main. How could she react so violently and say such facies? He often heard Ryder and the others say that women were not easy to mess with, especially women like tigresses. Now he finally believed it. Jocelyn raged like a tigress. For the sake of Jocelyn being a woman, Calvin didn''t want to argue with her. It would damage his image. He nced at her disdainfully, and snorted coldly, "You have such a loud voice. How dare you talk back to me! Do you know that you are in trouble now?" "Yes! So what?" Jocelyn was still angry and aggressive. Calvin was a little speechless. This woman didn''t take him seriously. He helped her, but she treated him like this, which liked a real story of farmer and snake. If he had known that he wouldn''t rescue her today. She took his goodwill for ill intent. Regarding Jocelyn''s attitude, Calvin folded his arms and said arrogantly, "If you beg me now, I can still consider helping you." "No need! Thank you!" Jocelyn plopped down on the pillow, turned her back to him, and continued to sleep, "I will deal with my own affairs. You''d better not do me a disservice, okey?" At first she hoped that he would help her save Katie, but he said, let her solve it by herself. Now that Katie was fine and he said he could help. Didn''t he carry coals to Newcastle? As for the gossip happened that night, Jocelyn and Veronica had already discussed how to deal with it. Jocelyn didn''t want Calvin to disrupt their n. "Okay! You said it yourself. I won''t care how much you beg!" Calvin didn''t tell her, if he hadn''t sent someone to help her rescue Katie, could she sleep well? Jocelyn didn''t respond any more, and Calvin found that she had fallen asleep and could hear her even breathing. Fuck. She was scold severely by public, but she looked like very much unconcerned, and slept well! Calvin had no temper to lose, and scolded her for not knowing good from bad. Let her go. ...Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. In just one night, the entire entertainment circle changed dramatically. Icehive Entertainment''s first whitewashed public rtions document was sent out, which yed a very good role in guiding public opinion. Theizens were overwhelmingly criticizing Jocelyn''s vile means of forciblying back for resources. More and moreizens began to pay attention to this matter, when all of a suddenly, an advertorial was exposed. Anyone who logged into the forum would be able to find this post titled: [On the Seven Deadly Sins of Icehive Entertainment: Revealing the Truth About Jocelyn''s Retrement] From the perspective of ace manager Veronica, the whole post deeply uncovered the real reason why Jocelyn retired five years ago. She didn''t have a sugar daddy, or emigrate abroad, but was blocked and hidden by Icehive Entertainment. The real reason for being banned was that Jocelyn was unwilling to ept the unspoken rules. She couldn''t stand someone, and irritated some people. Veronica also provided detailed screenshots of the information, including chat screenshots and audio. Fortunately, Veronica saved the document, so that they were now useful. Jocelyn was a well-known child star. She started filmingmercials at the age of two, andter officially debut. When she was a child, she acted in several ssic works. At the age of eighteen, she won the Bomia Award for best actress and became the youngest actress of this award. It could be said that the age of eighteen was the peak of her life. Why did she suddenly announce retirement and destruct her prospect? Smart person would not easily give up hard-won achievements, let alone her? Anyone who read the advertorial would understand how helpless Jocelyn was at that time. Signing a ten-year contract with Icehive Entertainment was equivalent to "selling herself" unconditionally. Jocelyn refused, so she was hidden by Icehive Entertainment. The advertorial also listed some films and endorsements at that time, all of which Jocelyn had negotiated and was ready to take over. But because of the scandal of retirement, she was terminated. Icehive Entertainment shamelessly gave all these resources to Theresa. The whole advertorial was reasonable, supported with pictures. Veronica finally criticized Ernest who made use of women to stabilize his position. She also pointed out various oppressions and injuries Icehive Entertainment did to Jocelyn. This advertorial at once reversed Jocelyn''s originally inferior position, sessfully winning the sympathy of the majority ofizens. All theizens who read the advertorial really understood that the grievances that Jocelyn had suffered in the past five years were simply indescribable. Freezing the best years of a star was undoubtedly awkward for a pop star! Besides the blow to her career, Veronica also pointed out that Ernest broke up with Jocelyn because he two-timed her and had an affair with Theresa, which hit Jocelyn hard. How could a woman remain indifferent when she suffered a double hit of career and affection? Therefore, it was not difficult to realize why Jocelyn messed up Ernest''s engagement. The reason was that Ernest betrayed her five years ago. Ernest''s image of a good manpletely copsed at this moment. A scumbag who betrayed a woman and spared no efforts for the sake of the mistress. Should such man be dragged out to feed the dog? It could be said that Veronica''s advertorial was good, and the evidence she cited was convincing, so the advertorial set off a huge wave on the Inte in just two hours after publishing. Several Twitter influencers posted the advertorial and spoke strongly for Jocelyn. In less than three hours, the news spread to the entirework. Netizens instinctively sympathized with the weak. And Jocelyn was a weak victim who deserved sympathy. At the beginning, Netizens who insulted Jocelyn and questioned her for robbing resources, and those who threatened Jocelyn to get out of the entertainment industry, were pped in the face after reading this advertorial. The more severely one scolded, the more they got hurt. [Fuck! There was such an inside story! Jocelyn was so wronged! ] [We all misunderstood her! She didn''t have a sugar daddy. It turned out that she was hidden by Icehive Entertainment! ] [OMG! They actually hid Jocelyn for five years, made used of her to attend the event. They made her a scapegoat when her identity was exposed. How shameless they are! ] [The most shameless person was Ernest. He two-timed Jocelyn! He made advantage of her! How shameless he was! ] [I like Jocelyn''s "The Jones Girls " very much. She was hidden for five years. What a pity! How did shee back?] ] ...... The public rtions team of Icehive Entertainment reported to Ernest at once after reading the rapidly spreading advertorial on the Inte. Ernest read it and boiled with anger. He spent a lot of energy and finally seeded in whitewashing Icehive Entertainment. Things would smooth down if he held a press conference and let Jocelyn take the me. But Veronica''s advertorial aired more dirtyundry, which caught him off guard. Ernest immediately phoned Veronica, and he roared, "Veronica! Why did you post that news? You cross me. What do you mean? " "Mr. Cloutier, you are not blind. Can''t you read? Do you need me to read it to you? " "You... Don''t you want to work as an ace agent? I''ll give you half an hour toe to thepany! If this matter is not handled well! I will kill you! " Ernest gave the order as president. But Veronica on the other side of the phone was not nervous at all, "That''s right! I didn''t want to work for you any longer! Now I officially offer my resignation, and the resignation letter has been sent to your email. Finally, I would like to advise you that he who perpetrates unjust acts is doomed to destruction! " Veronica hung up the phone first. Ernest was mad with anger. He suddenly thought of the rtionship between Jocelyn and Veronica. It was not difficult to guess Jocelyn''s motives, as well as the cause and effect. Could it be that the two women had colluded with each other long ago? When internal data was destroyed, Ernest suspected that there was a mole, and now it turned out that Veronica was the mole! She helped Jocelyn to deal with him. Fuck! Ernest called Jocelyn again, and Jocelyn''s voice was a littlezy, as if she hadn''t woken up yet, "Mr. Cloutier, why you calling me so early? " "Jocelyn! Did you see the news? Don''t tell me that you and Veronica jointly did that! " Ernest shouted with anger. Jocelyn chuckled and pretend not to know anything, "What news, Mr. Cloutier! I haven''t gotten up yet. I haven''t seen it! What''s wrong? " ...... Chapter 71 Touched Her Heart Chapter 71 Touched Her Heart Chapter 71 Touching Her Heart "You don''t know?" "Yeah, what''s the matter?" Jocelyn stretched her legsfortably like a cat. The angrier Ernest was, the happier she felt. "Veronica! She openly issued a press release against thepany! You don''t know?" "I have no idea. I haven''t read the news. Isn''t she an ace agent of yourpany? Why did she do that?" Jocelyn first whitewashed herself, so as not to let Ernest suspect her. Ernest finally calmed down. Jocelyn dared not to betray him. Ernest changed his tone and said, "Okay! I''ll take care of Veronica''s side. Make a preparation. We will hold a press conference at 9 o''clock tomorrow morning. You must attend and take all the me. You should say that rob Theresa''s resources for youreback, which is a personal hype, so that thepany''s losses can be minimized, do you understand?" "I understand, by the way, Mr. Cloutier, how is Katie? Don''t bully her! I will listen to you whatever you ask me to do!" Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. In fact, Katie had already escaped, but Jocelyn pretended not to know. Speaking of the hostage, Ernest actually felt a little guilty, because Katie had already escaped. Since Jocelyn still asked him, he expected that Jocelyn must not know that Katie had escaped, so he could continue to ckmail her with this. "Don''t worry, as long as you behave obediently enough and helppany get through the difficulties, I will let her go. " Ernest was confident, even if Jocelyn knew that Katie had escaped, he still had other ways. It was absolutely impossible for Jocelyn to make trouble! After Ernest hung up the phone, he immediately ordered the public rtions team, "Hurry up! Suppress the advertorial by using the news that Jocelyn robs resources. Stop the spread of the advertorial in time, and find a way to eliminate all negative news." Veronica''s advertorial on the post bar was quickly deleted by emergency public rtions of Icehive Entertainment, and the reposted and copied ones were also deleted and hidden. News such as "Jocelyn robbed resources foreback" and "Jocelyn and Veronica team up to hype" were overwhelming, which sessfully helped Icehive Entertainment to reverse the situation. Those who had just stand in Jocelyn''s side felt cheated again and turned their backs. Those deceivedizens insulted Jocelyn and Veronica one after another, and there were negative opinions on Jocelyn and Veronica. ... After Jocelyn got up, she pulled the curtains, looked out at the glowing sky. And then she opened the window, and a gust of cool air caressed her faces. It was good to live in Fallcastle. The air was fresh, and the scenery was pleasant. No matter how dirty the outside world was, at least at this time, her inner world was clean and peaceful. It was another new day, a day of fighting with passion,e on, Jocelyn! She found Calvin was gone. She didn''t know where Calvin was, but Jocelyn didn''t care about it. After washing up and got dressed, Jocelyn went to the children''s room to see if they had woken up. Tammy and Jeffrey were still sleeping in the room. Tammyy on her stomach on the bed and the quilt was kicked away. Her sleeping position was as awkward as her! Jocelyn covered the quilt her daughter gently. But Tammy woke up with a drowsy look, and found that Mommy was covering her with the quilt, "Mummy..." "Tammy, are you awake?" "Yes, Mommy!" Tammy turned over, grabbed Mummy''s hand immediately, and said a little aggrieved, "Mummy, I dreamedst night." "Oh? What did you dream about?" Jocelyn smiled. "Tammy dreamed that Mommy took me and Jeffrey away. Mommy didn''t want Sean and Daddy." Tammy took advantage of the situation and nestled into her arms, saying pitifully, "Mommy, don''t leave Sean and Daddy, okey? Can we live here forever?" Tammy''s words touched Jocelyn''s heart, and her heart felt a bit sour. Did the little girl hear something before she dreamed? Jocelyn hugged the child into her arms distressedly and coaxed her, "No, Mommy won''t take you and your brother away. We will live here, together with Sean and daddy." "Really?" Tammy raised her head and asked innocently. Actually it was her brother who told her that they would leave here in a few months, but she didn''t want to leave. "Of course it''s true." Jocelyn knew that the two children lost father since they were born, and theycked a sense of security when following her. Especially Tammy, who was envious of other children having father, now she has her own "daddy", she likes it very much, and she must be reluctant to leave. Jocelyn really didn''t know how to tell the truth to his daughter, if they leave six monthster, the she would definitely be sad. Jeffrey also woke up. Jocelyn urged, "Okay Tammy, Jeffrey, hurry up and wash your face. Go downstairs for breakfast!" "Okey, Mommy!" Jeffrey slept well, as if injected with new energy, climbed down from the bed, put on slippers, and ran into the bathroom. Tammy got dressed. There was no need for her to worry about the two children. And she went to to see Sean. Sean also got up, sat on the edge of the bed and got dressed. He then went to the bathroom. Looking at the back of the little boy, Jocelyn sighed slightly, and couldn''t help but wonder what kind of woman was Sean''s mother? Was she a cold-hearted woman? Why she gave birth to such a cute child and abandoned him? Thinking of Calvin''s cold face, bad temper, Jocelyn pouted, it was impossible for such kind of self- righteous man to retain his wife. But for the sixty million, she would not be willing to be his wife! When the three children came out of the room, Jocelyn took them downstairs with him. When they came to the restaurant downstairs, they were all dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. "Mommy, is that Daddy?" ...... Chapter 72 Showing Off Chapter 72 Showing Off Chapter 72 Showing Off Tammy raised his little hand, rubbed his eyes, and couldn''t believe what she saw. "Impossible...it must be a hallucination!" Jocelyn thought that it was a hallucination, otherwise how could she see Calvin in a white shirt standing in the kitchen cooking? It was quite strange. Calvin lived on thebor of others. How could he cook? Jocelyn and the three children were all in a daze, and Sean shocked most. Ever since he was a child, he had never seen his daddy enter the kitchen. Today daddy was so abnormal! Beatrice walked over from behind, muttering, "Did the sune out from the west today? Why did Mo Han cook himself? Can he cook? As far as I remember, I have never seen him enterLet''s pass the threshold of the kitchen! What kind of madness is this when you''re fine today?" "..." The corners of Jocelyn''s mouth twitched. Even Calvin''s own mother didn''t believe that he could cook. It was definitely a big news. Beatrice couldn''t figure out the reason, neither could Jocelyn. she always felt that there must be a special reason for it. A sh of inspiration shed in her mind, and she suddenly thought of their previous agreement. Could it be that Calvin crossed the line when slept? So he consciously make breakfast in the morning? Jocelyn was right. Calvin woke up in the morning and found that he had crossed the line. Although he was not caught by Jocelyn, he has principle, so he took the initiative to make breakfast. At the entrance of the restaurant, family members were stretching their heads looking, but Calvin didn''t realize it and he served the food. Looking up at them at the door, he said lightly, "Breakfast is ready,e over to eat!" Calvin called them to have breakfast, but he didn''t eat, and walked away directly. "Let me see what''s the breakfast?" Beatrice was overly surprised by the changes in her son, and came to the dining table happily. Looking at the tes on the table, Beatrice was so surprised at the exquisite and perfect breakfast. "Oh my God, if I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that Calvin cooked it! He can cook! Brat, he didn''t even tell me he can cook!" At this time, Beatrice was very moved. She felt that her bad-tempered son had finally changed a lot, and she could finally pray to her husband who had passed away for many years. Look! Your son had finally learned how to cook. It turned out that marrying a wife had many benefits. Look at how well your daughter-inw had taught your son! Jocelyn and the three children came to the dining table, and they were all very surprised when they saw the food. "Wow! So my daddy can cook!" Tammy was so happy that she couldn''t wait to taste it. Sean stared at the food on the te, looked at them for a while, but still couldn''t believe it. He wondered if it was really edible. Beatricemented, "The appearance looks good, but I don''t know how it tastes?" "I have no idea. Let me have a taste." Jocelyn thought the food looked very good, but one had to try it before he knew how it tasted. She took a bite of the sandwich made by Calvin, and was full of praise immediately, "Oh, it''s not bad. It tastes very good!" Beatrice and her grandson also started to eat. After eating, Beatrice was very happy and nodded, "Yeah, it''s really good. I didn''t expect Calvin to have a talent for cooking." Sean tasted it, and felt that Daddy cooked well, but he didn''t expect Daddy to have this talent! Tammy ate a poached egg and was happy, "Mommy, Daddy is so nice. Daddy is handsome, and he can also cook! I like handsome Daddy who can also cook!" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Beatrice smiled and said, "Tammy is honey tongued." Calvin happened to going up the stairs at this time, and when he heard Tammy praise him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose. He didn''t expect to conquer the little girl with just one breakfast. Well done. But he was not sure what was her mother''s attitude. Beatrice patted Tammy''s head, and said to Jocelyn, "It seems that Calvin cooks for you, otherwise I, as a mother, have never seen him cook by himself all these years. He showed great respect to you!" "No." Jocelyn didn''t dare to tter herself. How could she get such respect? If Calvin hadn''t crossed the line, who could have summoned him to cook! Jeffrey didn''t say anything, he quietly watched everything that happened, staring at the breakfast cooked by Mr. Austin thoughtfully. He fully suspected that Mr. Austin was deliberately using delicious food to tie up his mommy and his sister. It must be Mr. Austin''s Greek gift! Mommy and her sister seem to be cheated, but he couldn''t! He had to keep a clear head and couldn''t be bought over by a breakfast! After having breakfast, Jocelyn remembered to thank Beatrice. Last time VIP card of Prisci SPA lent by Beatrice helped her drive away Natalia and her daughter. She would never forget it. "Mom, thank you very much!" "Never mind. We are family. I seldom go out and don''t have much power, but as long as you are bullied by someone. I will stand by your side and support you. " Jocelyn was very moved. She hugged Beatrice directly, and said, "Mom, I will go outter, and I have to go back to thepany to attend a press conference in the morning." Beatrice had already seen the news. She was on the side of daughter-inw so she couldn''t help being angry, "Icehive Entertainment? They treat you like that. Why do you go to the press conference? I think Calvin should buy Icehive Entertainment directly and fire all those annoying people, so that you will not be bullied by them again." Jocelyn had nothing to repay for Beatrice''s kindness, but she didn''t need the Austin family to help her do this. She knew that the Austin family was as rich as the wealth of the whole country. It was easy to buy ten Icehive Entertainments. But Jocelyn nned to take revenge on Ernest and Theresa, pushing them to hell step by step through more cruel means. They got off lightly if she "Mom! No need! Recently, I am preparing toe back, just to take advantage of the momentum of Icehive Entertainment. I will stand up from where I fell down! I will not spare those who have hurt and bullied me! Mom, don''t worry! I will definitely handle it and will not disgrace the Austin family. " Jocelyn said these words to Beatrice from the bottom of the heart. Beatrice treated Jocelyn kindly as if Jocelyn were her daughter, so Jocelyn told her the truth. "Good! You are worthy of being the daughter-inw of the Austin family! Just be bold and do it! Mom and Calvin will support you." Beatrice would be her strong backing. "Thank you, Mom." "Mommy, Jeffrey also supports Mommy''s work and stand on your side." Jeffrey raised his head and said. "Well, thank you, sweetie." Jocelyn squatted down, hugged his son, and kissed him on his little face. The little boy was very happy get the reward. When he walked past Sean, he couldn''t help but show off, "See? My mommy loves me very much and she just kissed me." Tammy saw Jeffrey showing off in front of Sean, and she wrinkled her nose unhappily. She found Jeffrey was not cute at all, because he always bullied Sean! Sean was silent, but his said in his mind, would it to kill him not to show off? Ms. Murray kissed mest night too!" I wouldn''t tell anyone! Jocelyn said goodbye to the children and was about to leave, and Beatrice suddenly called out to her, "Jocelyn, if you are avable today, help me send something to Calvin personally, okay?" "Yes, Mom." Beatrice gave Jocelyn a box. It was packaged, and Jocelyn had no idea what was it. Beatrice didn''t tell Jocelyn what it was. She spared no effort to create opportunities for her son and daughter-inw to meet! ...... Icehive Entertainment handle a public rtions crisis timely in 24 hours, suppressing all the news unfavorable to it. Now the wholework was scolding Jocelyn and Veronica for colluding with each other in conspiracy, sparing no efforts toe back to the stage, taking up thepany''s resources, and betraying Icehive Entertainment. Netizens who originally believed that Jocelyn was innocent didn''t dare to trust Jocelyn anymore. The Inte opposed the actress who spared no efforts toeback, especially Theresa''s fans who united together to object to entertainment industry epting such tainted actress like Jocelyn. Just when the negative news overwhelmed Jocelyn, the advertorial entitled "Icehive Entertainment''s Crimes " suddenly popped out, bing a trending topic. Anyone who had a mobile phone would receive this push message. It was the advertorial entitled "Icehive Entertainment''s Crimes: The Truth About Jocelyn Murray''s Retirement" written by ace agent Veronica. The difference between the two advertorials was that this one also revealed that Ernest threatened Jocelyn by kidnapping her assistant Katie. therefore, Jocelyn was the victim who was innocent. Thest sentence of the advertorial was that who was the real victim? Phone users whether they followed entertainment news or not all read the advertorial popped up on the phone. Ifst night''s advertorial was just a sh in the pan, then the advertorial today was a picture that all flowers were in blossom. ...... Chapter 73 A Thief Posing As Judge Chapter 73 A Thief Posing As Judge Chapter 73 A Thief Posing As Judge All mobile phone users who learnt about the inside story realized who was the real victim! It was Jocelyn! Since "Icehive Entertainment''s Crimes" became the trending topic again, more and more people believe that Jocelyn was the real victim. Manyizens spontaneously followed Jocelyn, and the number of ck fans was also increasing day by day, which meant that the public rtions of Icehive Entertainment failed again. At this time, Theresa and Ernest, who were in the hospital, also read the advertorial on the phone. The situation of public opinion on the Inte had reversed in a short period of time. Netizens who originally scolded Jocelyn and Veronica asders started to turn around and scold Ernest and Theresa. Theresa read the news, and her first reaction was that she believed that it was Jocelyn who ying tricks! But for the help of Todd, she would never had the ability to make such a counterattack! Theresa was so angry that she said bitterly, "Ernest, Jocelyn has gone too far! She is so vicious and wanted to kill us! Now the situation is getting worse and worse. What could we do?" "Whether she did it or not remains to be investigated! The top priority is to find a way to remove this advertorial! I''ll make a phone call now!" Ernest looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was a little anxious. Especially the advertorial finally revealed that he kidnapped Katie as a hostage. If the police investigate it, he would be in trouble. Fortunately, Katie had escaped, even if the police came to find him, there was nothing to be afraid of! Ernest had already dialed the number of his subordinates and ordered, "Contact several major portal websites and mobile phone operators. No matter how much it costs, remove the advertorial!" Then Ernest phoned Jocelyn. When it was put through, Ernest asked in a gloomy tone, "Hello? Jocelyn! Where are you now?" "Is that Mr. Cloutier? I am on the way topany. What''s going on? Why do I receive a push message? Are you helping me?" Jocelyn knew that it couldn''t be done by Ernest, so she deliberately asked this question. It was the so-called act: a thief posing as judge, ying the trick of thief crying ''stop thief''. Anyway, she was an actress herself! "Okay, I''ll see you at thepanyter." Hearing what Jocelyn said, Ernest basically concluded that it was impossible for Jocelyn to do it, because she didn''t have the ability to hide the truth from the masses. After Ernest finished the call, he picked up his coat and wanted to leave the ward. Seeing that he was going to leave, Theresa immediately pretended to be weak and said, "Ernest, are you going to leave now? Why don''t you stay with me? What should I do here alone?" Seeing Theresa''s eyes swam in tears and was about to cry, Ernest came near to the bed, hugged her, andforted her, "Honey, I have to go back to thepany to deal with trouble, and there will be a press conference. You are still recovering. Stay in the hospital, and I will ask Linda to apany youter. Be good!" Ernestforted her by a kiss. Theresa pretended to be considerate and said, "All right. I will leave you to it. Keep me posted." "Okay." Ernest hurriedly left the hospital. ... At this time, on the other side, , in the president''s office on the 59th floor of the building of the Plexis Group. Craig knocked on the door, came inside, and reported, "Mr. Austin, Icehive Entertainment is now trying to remove our trending topic through contacting mainstream websites and mobile phone operators at a high price." The man, with an air of coldness, bent over his desk reviewing documents. Hearing his subordinate''s report, he said in calm without raising his head, "What? Icehive Entertainment and what army?" The subtext was that Ernest fought a hopeless battle with him. "Got it!" Craig was sure that anyone who crossed their president would end up going bankrupt. Calvin looked up at theputer until Craig left the office. There was aplex set of analysis data on the screen, which were all rted to Jocelyn''s scandal. It could be said that Calvin paid attention to Jocelyn''s scandal all the time. Although Jocelyn repeatedly stressed that she didn''t need the help of "husband" in her turnaround. But who was Calvin? How could Calvin watch others bully his "wife" and be indifferent? In any case, he promised to take care of Jocelyn during their marriage. Jocelyn was Calvin''s wife, all those who bullied Jocelyn were making trouble for Calvin. Calvin didn''t do anything to Icehive Entertainment, because he just wanted to leave it to Jocelyn to y, and see how she could reborn from adversity? As for his helping her by the side, nobody would care, right? When he thought of Jocelyn, Calvin was unhappy. Her behavior waspletely out of linest night. She had no respect for him, but he gave in to her! Craig went out of the office, but he knocked on the door again within one minute. Calvin asked, "Anything else?" "Mr. Austin, Ms. Austin is here." Calvin suddenly heard that Jocelyn wasing, frowned subconsciously and said, "What is she doing here?"N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Craig didn''t speak, and directly gave way and let Jocelyn walk in. Jocelyn walked into the office and said unpleasantly, "Mr. Austin, can''t Ie?" Seeing Jocelyn, Calvin naturally thought of the unpleasantnessst night. At that time, she said so aggressively, did shee to apologize to him now? If she apologized, he could reluctantly ept it. "I still have a lot of work to do. Spit it out. " The moment Calvin began to speak, Craig at the door suddenly have a toothache. Mr. Austin treated his wife like this. Was he ying with fire? However, it was not appropriate for him to interfere, so he could only close the door silently and prayed in his mind, Mr. Austin, use your head! Stop being angry with Ms. Austin. Where could you find such a good wife if she left? Jocelyn sat down on the sofa, looked at Calvin, and then asked, "Mr. Austin, I wonder why you cooked this morning?" Calvin raised his eyelids and ignored her. "You crossed the line when you slept, didn''t you?" Jocelyn said calmy, lying on the arm of the sofa, with her arm on the chin. ...... Chapter 74 Shameless Woman Chapter 74 Shameless Woman Chapter 74 Shameless Woman Seeing Calvin''s arrogant look, Jocelyn smiled. "Why? I guessed it right! It is a pity that I didn''t take a picture of you crossing the line as evidencest night!" "Hmph! I''ve already cooked breakfast! What else do you want?" "Nothing." Jocelyn got up from the sofa, took out the thing from Beatrice, walked over, and put it on his desk, saying, "I''m here to deliver a thing to you. Since you''ve received it, I''ll leave now. Bye!" After finishing speaking, she left his office. Then, Calvin looked down at the neatly packed dark blue box on the table, wondering what was in it. What on earth was she up to? Out of curiosity, he opened the box. Seeing the thing inside, he widened his eyes in surprise and cursed, "What a shameless woman!" She had given him a box of condoms! Calvin quickly closed the box, threw it into the drawer, and locked it. He felt bad all over! And it was all Jocelyn''s fault. Her sexual innuendo was too blunt! Shame on her! Calvin blushed, tugged at his tie, and irritably walked back and forth in the office. No, he could not be seduced by her! He must keep a stiff upper lip! ... Since the Plexis Group had secretly helped Jocelyn, Icehive Entertainment''s n of using money to suppress the scandal was doomed to be foiled. Ernest''s subordinates reported to him that all the mainstream socialworking tforms and tel operators had refused the money because they did not dare to help Icehive Entertainment. So, the trending topic and tweets were still there. As a veteran who had worked in the entertainment industry for many years, Ernest knew someone was manipting them behind the scenes at a nce. But he wondered who the person was. He instantly thought of Todd! Maybe the Garner Group was backing Jocelyn. So, he called the Garner Group and asked to be connected to Todd''s office. After Todd finally answered the call, Ernest asked, "Mr. Garner, how could you make trouble for Icehive Entertainment to help Jocelyn? Aren''t you going too far?" Todd put his legs on his office desk and sneered, "Mr. Cloutier, mind your mouth! Do you have any evidence? If I had wanted to help her, I would have directly acquired Icehive Entertainment. But you don''t deserve it! I don''t want to waste more time talking nonsense with you!" When Todd rudely hung up the phone, Ernest was angry but could only eat the humble pie. Judging from Todd''s words, Ernest believed he had not done it. So, who would it be? ... The situation was beyond Veronica''s expectations. She had been angry that Icehive Entertainment had suppressed her article. But in a blink of an eye, the article which had beenpletely ignored was widely spread online! It was a miracle! She wanted to know who had helped her, so she immediately called Jocelyn and mentioned the matter. But Jocelyn took the initiative to thank her, saying, "Veronica, you are capable! You turned the tide overnight! Good job!" She thought it was Veronica''s contacts that had helped them, but thetter replied in confusion, "Jocelyn, I didn''t do it! Who helped us? Do you have a powerful sugar daddy? If not, who else would make such efforts to help us?" Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Veronica was joking. She had never thought Jocelyn had a sugar daddy. But she could not think of anyone who would use such a subversive method to go against Icehive Entertainment for them. "Haha, sugar daddy? I prefer a sugar son!" Jocelyn was amused by her joke, but she soon realized the matter was strange. If it were not Veronica or Todd, who could it be? Who was secretly helping her? Calvin? Impossible! He had said he wouldn''t help her and asked her to solve all trouble by herself. So, was it Todd? After thinking about it carefully, Jocelyn believed it was Todd. Every time she got in trouble, he helped her without giving a thought to personal gains or losses. So, she decided to find an opportunity to express her gratitude to him. Jocelyn then said, "Veronica, I guess Todd helped me." Veronica knew about Jocelyn''s rtionship with Todd, so she didn''t doubt her guess at all. "I think Todd is pretty good. He is ten times better than Ernest. Why don''t you ept him?" Veronica knew Todd had been in love with Jocelyn and waiting for her for many years. Todd had bought the copyright of The Phoenix Queen and cooperated with Jocelyn. Veronica was entrusted to handle this matter, so she had had several dealings with him and thought he was not bad. Jocelyn was single and had returned, so it was time for her to date. And Todd was a suitable candidate. Jocelyn had never thought of dating Todd and had long told him they would only be friends because they were too familiar with each other. But he was so stubborn that he insisted on waiting for her. She could do nothing about it. Hearing Veronica''s words, Jocelyn joked, "If you think he is good, I can try to fix you up. Do you like him?" Veronica was embarrassed to hear this, so she said, "Come on! I''m talking about you! Why are you bringing it on me? Let''s stop this topic. Where are you now? Have you arrived at thepany?" "Well, I will be there soon." "Okay, let''s talkter." After Jocelyn hung up the phone, her car happened to arrive at Icehive Entertainment. But the gate was surrounded by reporters. After Marcus opened the car door, Jocelyn got off. A sharp-eyed reporter instantly spotted her and yelled, "Jocelyn! She is over there!" The reporters all rushed over like a flood with their cameras and frantically took pictures of her. It was too crowded that she almost fell. Marcus had prepared in advance, so several bodyguards protected her in time. "Jocelyn, will you make aeback? Did you scheme the Siumix incident?" "Jocelyn, are you and your agent Veronica working together to hype it up?" "Jocelyn, you said you retired five years ago because you rejected Casting Couch. Can you tell us more details?" "Jocelyn, you are fighting against Icehive Entertainment in public opinion. Who is helping you behind the scenes? Who is the mysterious masked man at the Siumix Charity Night Event? What''s the rtionship between you and him?" ... The reporters'' questions were sharp, but Jocelyn remained silent. Under the escort of Marcus and the other bodyguards, she finally entered Icehive Entertainment. Just now, a reporter had asked about the mysterious masked man at the event. So, Jocelyn couldn''t help recalling how Calvin had rushed to the stage to protect her and felt warm in her heart. She thought Calvin had worn a mask in public because he wanted to keep a low profile. As long as she didn''t respond, people would forget about the matter soon. Returning to Icehive Entertainment, Jocelyn felt the atmosphere was weird. The staff members all avoided her with disgust and contempt in their eyes. Their attitude waspletely different from when she had been the top artist of thepany five years ago. No one weed or greeted her, but many people were whispering while pointing at her. "She betrayed thepany five years ago. How could she have the nerve toe back? Shame on her!" "She almost ruined Icehive Entertainment. Mr. Cloutier should have called the police and let thew punish her!" "I did not expect her to be such a person. She can do anything for her benefit! Since she betrayed thepany, she will end up miserably!" "She is ungrateful! Mr. Cloutier valued her so much and used all his resources to make her popr back then. But she took revenge on him ruthlessly!" "Mr. Cloutier dated Ms. Chavez after breaking up with her! But she ruined their engagement ceremony as soon asing back. What a shameless woman!" ... Jocelyn knew it was because her previous revenge on Ernest had harmed Icehive Entertainment. Now, they all thought she was an evil b*tch who had betrayed thepany for her benefit. She was a heinous traitor in their eyes. She ignored their whispers and straightened her back. After all, she had no right to control other people''s mouths. Since she could not gag them, she would let them talk. Anyway, she would have nothing to lose. Ernest hadn''te back to Icehive Entertainment yet, so she could only go to the reception room to wait. As soon as she stepped into the reception room, a cleaner with a mop and a bucket pushed her aside from behind, saying, "Get out of the way!" Looking back, Jocelyn found it was a cleaner. A lot of dirty water had spilled out of the bucket and soiled her pants and shoes. Jocelyn slightly frowned. "Lady, you sshed dirty water on me. Please be careful when walking." Instead of apologizing, the cleaner rolled her eyes and said, "You are a bad person who harms others. How could you have the nerve to me me for sshing dirty water on you?" Jocelyn knew she was implying something, so she asked, "What do you mean?" The cleaner pushed her away, walked in, and said without looking back, "Take it literally! People who stab others in the back are the most disgusting. Get out of thepany if you''re sensible!" The cleaner had a lot of grievances because Icehive Entertainment''s scandal had affected her sry and allowance. To vent her anger, she deliberately pushed the mop to the ce where Jocelyn Jocelyn was standing. Every time Jocelyn took a step back, she took a step forward. Finally, Jocelyn was cornered to the wall, and the cleaner sshed more dirty water on her shoes. Jocelyn coldly looked at her, wondering why these bastards always bullied kind people. She was polite to the cleaner, but thetter thought she was a pushover. ... Chapter 75 Making Trouble Chapter 75 Making Trouble Chapter 75 Making Trouble Jocelyn had been nice and popr five years ago, so everyone in thepany used to respect her. Such a thing had never happened before. But things were different now. She was no longer the top artist of thepany or a popr actress. Now, she was a has-been who had scandals. When a man was going downhill, everyone would give him a push. So, even a cleaner dared to scold her. But the cleaner did not know people would change. Jocelyn had a new life principle now. She would not attack unless she was attacked. But once she was attacked, she must counterattack. After Jocelyn unceremoniously kicked over the bucket, the dirty water soaked the cleaner''s pants and shoes. The cleaner jumped up with a scream and fiercely asked, "What are you doing? How can you bully a senior like me?" "Who saw I bully you? Is it because I have note back for five years that you think I am a pushover?" Jocelyn dialed Ernest''s number and put him on speakerphone, saying, "Mr. Cloutier, I''m waiting for you in the reception room now. But a cleaner wants to kick me out. Do you think I should stay to wait for you?" Soon, Ernest replied, "Which cleaner? If she dares to be disrespectful to you, I will fire her! Ask her to go to the finance department to get her sry." Ernest needed Jocelyn to attend the press conference, so he must let her stay. Jocelyn hung up the phone, looked at the cleaner, and said, "Did you hear it? Mr. Cloutier asked you to go to the finance department to get your sry. Hurry up!" The cleaner had not expected Jocelyn would directly call Ernest. Ernest needed Jocelyn to help him to save the situation, so he would fire the cleaner instead of offending Jocelyn. After being fired, the cleaner panicked and hurriedly begged in a humble voice, "Ms. Murray, please forgive me. Don''t fire me! I should not have talked such nonsense. I am old and confused, so I offended you. I''m sorry!" The cleaner pped herself while speaking, hoping Jocelyn would let her go. "You are stupid! You should not have taken advantage of your seniority to bully young people!" Jocelyn condescendingly stared at her and coldly said, "Don''t forget your identity. You''re just a cleaner, so you should know how much you weigh in thepany. Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can humiliate me? Don''t you know a sleeping lion is stronger than a barking dog? Although I have a scandal now, I''m still an artist of Icehive Entertainment. Even Mr. Cloutier must show respect to me! Even if I leave Icehive Entertainment, I am still a member of the Murray family. I can easily make you disappear from Pailworth!" Her warning almost scared the cleaner to death. "Yes! Ms. Murray, you''re right! I was wrong! Please forgive me! I will clean your shoes." The cleaner knelt at Jocelyn''s feet and wiped the dirty water off her shoes with her sleeves while pleading. "Just this once. Get out!" Jocelyn yelled. Hearing this, the cleaner picked up the bucket and mop and fled as if she had been granted amnesty. Looking at her flustered back, Jocelyn showed a cold look, thinking she would fight back no matter who tried to make trouble for her. After all, she was not a mild sheep to be ughtered! Jocelyn didn''t wait long. Ernest came to the reception room to meet her as soon as returning to the company. "Jocelyn, there''s half an hour left. Let''s go to the conference room. The PR department will have a temporary meeting." Ernest hated Jocelyn but put on a caring face when facing her. "OK." Jocelyn knew he was pretending to value her because he wanted to continue to use her. She knew he was good at hiding his emotions. Five years ago, his hypocritical face had deceived her. She did not need to pretend to be polite. Facing Ernest now, she had no mood swings. She could remain so calm because she had never wholeheartedly loved him! Then, she followed him to a conference room. Before the press conference, the PR department needed to hold a meeting to discuss the questions and answers. Jocelyn''s main task was to get familiar with the draft. After going on stage, she must answer the reporter''s questions ording to the content the PR department had prepared to ensure nothing went wrong. After reading the draft, Jocelyn found they just wanted her to admit it was all her fault and bear the responsibility alone. They would let her be the scapegoat. At the end of the meeting, Ernest said, "Jocelyn, are we clear now? You just need to cooperate with the PR department. But you must answer questions ording to the draft." Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Yes." Jocelyn sneered in her heart. And no one noticed the indifference and sarcasm shing in her eyes. If Ernest wanted her to be the scapegoat, she would satisfy him! ... The press conference officially started at the conference center of Icehive Entertainment at nine. All the mainstream media in Pailworth hade, and the scene was spectacr. After all, everyone wanted to report first-hand information. The members of the PR department came to the stage first. After the PR manager gave a speech. Jocelyn went on stage. As soon as she appeared, all the cameras began to take pictures of her. Jocelyn was wearing blue wide-leg trousers and a slim suit. She had tied her hair into a bun and put on delicate makeup, exuding a powerful aura. Surrounded by bodyguards, she slowly walked to the center of the stage. Seeing the protagonist, the reporters swarmed forward and started asking questions. "Jocelyn, did you scheme the Siumix incident?" "Jocelyn, what did you seize Theresa''s job after returning from abroad? Will you stage a comeback?" "Jocelyn, can you tell us more about your retirement five years ago?" "Jocelyn, did you take revenge on Icehive Entertainment because Mr. Cloutier broke up with you?" "Jocelyn, did Mr. Cloutier kidnap your assistant to threaten you?" ... There were too many questions, and all of them were sharp. Jocelyn didn''t answer any of them but bowed to the reporters first. Then, she walked to her seat on the stage and sat down. Soon, the PR department began to host the press conference and told their version of the story to the media. Then, it was time for Jocelyn to answer questions. ... Chapter 76 Shame on You! Chapter 76 Shame on You! Chapter 76 Shame on You! The reporter of Daily News asked the first question, "Jocelyn, is this incident hype? Can you tell us the truth?" Then, all the reporters waited for Jocelyn to answer. Jocelyn nced across the audience, stood up, picked up the microphone, and calmly said, "Hello everyone, I am Jocelyn. Thank you for making time to attend Icehive Entertainment''s press conference. I know you''re all busy. I''m sorry that my personal affairs have taken up so many public resources. Everyone is paying more attention to the incident and wants to find out the truth. Today, I apologize to all the media and audience because the Siumix incident is my hype. This is the truth." Jocelyn suddenly admitted it was her hype, causing an uproar in the audience. But it had long been within people''s expectations. She was a female artist who had left the entertainment circle for five years. So, it was not surprising that she had used unscrupulous tactics to make hereback. Jocelyn calmly nced across the audience and continued, "I will tell you what happened. I nned it alone. I unscrupulously did bad things to make aeback and retaliate against Mr. Cloutier. I ruined his engagement ceremony with Ms. Chavez and forcibly separated a loving couple. I''m sorry. Icehive Entertainment cultivated me, and Mr. Cloutier trusted me. But I failed mypany and my boss. And I deliberately snatched Ms. Chavez''s job to climb up." Hearing her words, the audience began whispering, and the reporters kept taking pictures. Icehive Entertainment''s PR department hadn''t spoken yet, but Jocelyn had taken all the me. It caught them off guard. Someone winked at her to remind her to follow thepany''s arrangement, but she turned a blind eye. She raised the microphone again and continued, "I will also talk about what happened five years ago. When Mr. Cloutier and I dated, he had never cheated on me. It was after we broke up that he began to date Ms. Chavez. Because of my envy and hatred, I did bad deeds for revenge. So, I will take responsibility for my actions and solemnly apologize to all the victims. And I would like to emphasize that all these things have nothing to do with my broker Veronica. I did it by myself but used her name. I deceived theizens. I''m sorry!" After finishing speaking, Jocelyn bowed to apologize to the audience again with a humble and polite attitude. To everyone''s surprise, the press conference ended within fifteen minutes. After all, the original nned duration was forty minutes. Putting down the microphone, Jocelyn walked off the stage and left the conference center, surrounded by her bodyguards. Seeing this, the reporters were stunned. And they did not return to their senses until she disappeared. Today''s press conference was different from what they had imagined. They had thought Icehive Entertainment and Jocelyn would show a series of evidence to get rid of the suspicion of hype. But she had confessed to all her guilt and mistakes as soon as the press conference had started. It was too fast. All the reporters at the scene started to discuss the matter, wondering what to do next. Although Jocelyn had not followed thepany''s procedures, she had admitted mistakes ahead of schedule, which was the PR department''s ultimate goal. They just wanted her to take the me alone. The members of the PR department also returned to their senses and immediately continued to exin. And the press conference waspleted more smoothly than they had expected. Ernest was watching the live broadcast in the CEO''s office. Seeing Jocelyn sensibly take the responsibility alone, he finally felt relieved. With her guilty plea and apology, things became much easier for him. The PR department took advantage of the trend and poured all the dirty water on Jocelyn, sessfully whitewashing Icehive Entertainment. After the press conference, Jocelyn''s apology hit the headlines. Public opinion attacked her again because she had admitted she had snatched Theresa''s job and hyped hereback. Everyone scolded her for being shameless and unscrupulous. Theresa did not idle in the hospital. She secretly hired many paid trolls to nder Jocelyn online. After a short time, Jocelyn became the most notorious and disgusted person in the entertainment industry, and almost everyone scolded her. Theresa had asked her fans to wait outside Icehive Entertainment in advance. As soon as Jocelyn came out, they threw eggs at her. If Marcus and the others hadn''t prepared a big umbre in advance, Jocelyn would have be a miserable mess today. After leaving Icehive Entertainment, Marcus asked in the car, "Ms. Austin, are we going back to Tundra now?" "No, please send me to the Murray family." Her father Leonard had called her and asked her to go home, saying there was a very important thing about her grandpa''s will. "If you go to the Murray family now, they..." Marcus was worried that it would be another trap. When Ms. Austin had gone backst time, the Murray family had locked her up, and Ernest''s men had ambushed them. "Don''t worry. They dare not hurt me." Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Since Ernest had given up pursuing the matter of The Phoenix Queen, he would not send people to catch her anymore. As for the Murray family, she would carefully guard against them and would not be fooled again. At the gate, Jocelyn asked Marcus and others to wait for her in the car. She would go in alone and leave here as soon as finishing dealing with the matter of her grandpa''s will. When she walked into the living room, Leonard, Natalia, and Glenna were all waiting for her with gloomy faces as if she owed them money. Glenna saw her first, so she said, "Mom and Dad, Jocelyn is back." Leonard and Natalia turned their heads at the same time. Seeing Jocelyn, Leonard immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "How could you have the nerve toe back!" Jocelyn thought it was ridiculous, so she sneered, "Didn''t you ask me toe back?" Leonard stood up and severely used her, saying, "Look at the mess you made! Didn''t you see the news? You disgraced the Murray family! Why do I have such a shameless daughter?" Since the press conference, Jocelyn''s scandals had been widely spread. Many people had scolded her for being shameless, but she didn''t care. However, she felt very disappointed when hearing her father say so. If other people were bullied outside, their parents would be tolerant and loving no matter whether they had made any mistakes. But she had never felt the slightest concern in the Murray family. They always thought it was her fault and scolded her. Hearing Leonard''s usation, Jocelyn didn''t want to exin because her heart had long be numb. So, she said, "It is because I have a shameless father. I learned it from you. Since I disgraced you, why did you ask me toe back?" Leonard found he couldn''t talk to her anymore. Hearing her words, he was so angry that his blood pressure surged. Thinking she was hopeless, he didn''t want to discipline her anymore. So, he replied, "I asked you to come back for an important thing. Your grandpa''s will changed, so I must officially announce it to you." Jocelyn sarcastically asked, "What? My grandpa passed away years ago. How could he change the will?" Leonard didn''t reply but made a phone call. Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit came in. "Let me introduce Mr. Owen to you. He is your grandfather''s attorney. Now, listen to him." After Mr. Owen walked in, he opened his bag, took out a document, and said, "When we sorted out Old Mr. Murray''s belongings, we found another will. This will be madeter than the previous one. So, I would like to inform everyone that the previous will has be invalid. The property of the Murray family will be distributed ording to the new will. " Leonard yed the fool, asking, "Mr. Owen, what did my father say in the new will?" Mr. Owen opened the will, read the content, and concluded, "Other uses remain the same. The only change is about Miss Jocelyn''s shares. Old Mr. Murray canceled the 20% of the shares he had given to her in the previous will." Hearing this, Natalia and Glenna secretly showed joy in their eyes. Leonard tried his best to suppress his smile and asked, "Why did my father amend the will? Do you mean Jocelyn''s equity transfer letter has lost its validity? She no longer has the Murray Group''s shares now, right?" "Yes. And I''m afraid only Old Mr. Murray knew the reason." Leonard turned to look at Jocelyn and said, "Did you hear it? The equity transfer letter in your hand is voided." Jocelyn coldly looked at the two men acting in front of her and knew Leonard just wanted to snatch her shares and kick her out of the Murray family. She was skeptical about the amending will, so she said, "Since you said my grandpa amended the will, please show me the new will. I need to see whether it is real." Mr. Owen instantly handed the will to Jocelyn. After reading it, she found it was indeed her grandpa''s handwriting. But she wondered why he had amended the will. Had anyone forced him? ... Chapter 77 Good-for-nothing Chapter 77 Good-for-nothing Chapter 77 Good-for-nothing Although Jocelyn thought about it carefully, she had no clue. After all, her grandfather had passed away. But it was OK to give up the 20% of the shares he had left to her. Otherwise, her father would covet it all the time. "I see." After she handed the will to Mr. Owen, he took out a photocopy and said, "Ms. Murray, if you have no objection, please sign your name on it for confirmation." Jocelyn signed her name without hesitation. Seeing this, Leonard, Natalia, and Glenna breathed a sigh of relief. Since Jocelyn had given up the property of the Murray family, they would not worry about her snatching their money any longer. After Mr. Owen put away the documents and left the Murray family, Jocelyn stood up and said, "Since we are done, can I go now?" Natalia said with unprecedented enthusiasm, "What''s the rush? We''re family. Since you came back, let''s have a meal together!" They had just deprived her of her shares. How could she have the nerve to say they were family? "No, I don''t have time!" Jocelyn refused When she was about to leave, Leonard suddenly said, "Wait! You''ve ruined your reputation. Everyone in the entertainment industry is scolding you! Give up making aeback! You should get married instead of showing off outside. If you had listened to me, you wouldn''t have been reduced to such a situation. You insisted on following in your mother''s footsteps, so you had such a bad result now." He had put on a loving face and tried to persuade her to "give up evil and return to good". Jocelyn knew he just didn''t want her to show her face in public like her mother! And she hated him contemptuously speaking ill of her mother the most. She had not done anything wrong! She used to be a famous dancer and perform solo dances in theaters all over the world. She had been a star with a bright future. If she had not married such a scumbag, her life would not have been ruined. Jocelyn admired and loved Helena the most. When she had been young, Helena found she had a talent for acting. So, she had trained her, worked as her broker, and apanied her in drama and commercial shootings. Jocelyn started shootingmercials at the age of two. When she had grown older, she started to y guest roles in TV dramas. In this way, she gradually gained poprity. At the age of six, she starred in the Jones Girls and be a well-known child star. At that time, people had called her the daughter of the nation and loved her very much. But since Helena had passed away, no one had selfishly cared about or loved her anymore. Jocelyn suppressed the sadness in her heart and said, "No matter what my mother did, I love her the most. I don''t want to hear anyone speak ill of her. I have grown up and can make choices by myself. You don''t need to worry about me. If you are idle, you should discipline your precious second daughter. Otherwise, she might bark outside like a mad dog again!" If Glenna hadn''t suddenly yelled at Siumix Charity Night Event, things wouldn''t have be like this now. "Mom, Jocelyn is doing it again!" Glenna burst into tears, pretended to be innocent and weak, and sobbed, "She knows I like Todd and will marry him in the future. But she insists on snatching him from me." Glenna had always been a good girl in Leonard and Natalia''s eyes. Even though she had made a scene at Siumix Charity Night Event, they didn''t think it was her fault. They believed it was Jocelyn that had forced her to act like that. If Jocelyn had not tried to steal Todd, Glenna would not have lost her mind. The Murrays and the Garners were family friends. So, they wanted to be united by marriage. And Natalia hoped her daughter could marry into the Garner family, so she said, "Jocelyn, Todd, and Glenna are meant to be together. Don''t get meddled in it, OK?" "What do you mean? Does Todd like Glenna? Glenna, if you want to marry Todd, you must at least make him like you. Otherwise, marrying him would only be your wishful thinking," Jocelyn sneered with a cold look. Glenna cried even worse, stood up, and shouted, "If you had not made trouble after returning here, Todd would not have changed his attitude toward me. He used to answer my calls. But now, he ignores me! You must have spoken ill of me to him." Jocelyn bluntly retorted, "If he ignores you, you should talk to him. It''s none of my f*cking business!" Hearing this, Leonard pointed at her and said, "How can you talk like this? You''re vulgar, rude, and uneducated!" "Yeah, do you still want to say I am ill-bred? You should ask yourself how you have treated and educated me since I was a child. You are always partial to Glenna!" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. A trace of contempt shed across Jocelyn''s eyes. She looked down on Leonard the most. He neglected her and let her drift at ordinary times. And he would take the initiative to talk to her only when she brought shame to the Murray family. He did not deserve to be a father. "Come on, stop arguing! Leonard, calm down." Natalia pretended to be nice and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Jocelyn, don''t say I am biased. But Todd is Glenna''s boyfriend. So, you should not have made trouble or tried to steal him. There are many good men. Why do you have to snatch your sister''s boyfriend?" "Boyfriend? When did Todd be Glenna''s boyfriend? When did I try to steal him? If I try to date him, she will never have a chance! If you have time to talk such nonsense with me, why don''t you ask the Garner family to let them get married now? I promise I will prepare a decent marriage gift for them!" Jocelyn''s words were sarcastic and harsh, so Leonard, Natalia, and Glenna all showed gloomy looks in anger. They hated to hear her talk because her words always made them furious. Jocelyn''s rebellious character was not pleasing, so Leonard thought she was a good-for-nothing who would only bring shame to him. But he had never realized it was him that had caused her to grow into such a person. If he had loved and taken good care of his wife and daughter and been a responsible father, Helena would not havemitted suicide, and Jocelyn would not have hated him. ... Chapter 78 Rebelliousness 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." N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. "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." ... Chapter 79 Becoming Clingy Chapter 79 Bing Clingy Chapter 79 Bing Clingy Hear Leo''s guarantee, Ernest believed Theresa would be the brand ambassador. After the meeting, he ordered people to prepare for the celebration banquet. As soon as the contract was signed, he would hype the cooperation with Siumix up. It would make up for the loss of Icehive Entertainment and help Theresa be more popr. It was a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. As for Jocelyn, it was not time to ban her now because Theresa had not won Bomia Award for the best actress. He would continue to use Jocelyn to pave the way for her. Ernest called Jocelyn and ordered, "Jocelyn, Theresa will leave the hospital the day after tomorrow. You will go to pick her up and apologize to her in public. We will record a video. Get prepared." "Mr. Cloutier, why did you ask me to go to the hospital to pick her up?" Jocelyn asked in dissatisfaction. "Do you still need a reason? Now, thepany is giving you a chance to whitewash yourself and save your public image. This is a great opportunity to build up a good public persona. You should be grateful." Hearing a hint of warning in his tone, Jocelyn sneered on the phone, "You''re trying to help Theresa establish a good public persona instead of me! How long do you want to use me? I made a statement for her because you threatened me with Katie. She is no longer under your control now. Do you think I will still listen to you?" Ernest had long guessed she would say so, but he knew how to deal with her. So, he calmly said, "You don''t have to listen to me. But don''t you want to know where the child you gave away is now?" "What?" When Jocelyn heard him suddenly mention her child, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she said, "What do you mean? Tell me!" "You gave birth to three children five years ago and gave away one of them. If you listen to me, I will tell you the information about the child. If not, I''m hanging up." Ernest had investigated Jocelyn and found out she had given birth to three children. And he also knew one of her children was not with her. He was good at manipting people''s emotions. Although he didn''t know where the kid was, so he could use it to rig her. Hearing him intend to hang up, Jocelyn hurriedly said, "Don''t! Don''t hang up! I''ll listen to you! I''ll listen to you as long as you tell me the kid''s information!" Jocelyn was eager to know where Billy was and would find him at all costs. "Good! Wait for my call." Ernest hung up the phone, feeling proud of himself. He had long known he could control Jocelyn with this method! After the call ended, Jocelyn held her cell phone in disbelief. Now, her mind was preupied with Ernest''s words about the child. She was thinking about what Ernest meant. He sounded confident on the call. Did he know her son''s whereabouts? Where was Billy? Suddenly, she felt a sting in the softest part of her heart. She missed Billy and wondered where he was. She missed him very much. Jocelyn sat by the window, lost in thought. She recalled what had happened to her five years ago when she had been pregnant and given birth to three babies in pain in the countryside. Billy had been so weak that he could not even cry. He had gotten ill and been dying. She had cruelly given him away because she had wanted that person to save his life. She often dreamed of Billy crying badly. She felt heartbroken and sorry because she had failed to protect him. Jocelyn didn''t notice it when tears rolled down her cheeks. She was immersed in her world, so she didn''t know Tammy and Sean hade to her. When Tammy took Sean to see her mommy, she found thetter was crying. Seeing her tears, Sean frowned and wondered what had happened to her. Had his father bullied her? Or had other people bullied her outside? Tammy didn''t know why her mommy was crying. All she could do was wipe the tears off her face with her little hands. Feeling someone touching her face, Jocelyn came back to her senses. Seeing Tammy and Sean, she quickly wiped away her tears, tried hard to control her emotions, and asked, "Tammy and Sean, why are you here?" Tammy raised her head, stared at her face, and asked without blinking, "Mommy, why are you crying?" Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Sean also tilted his head to stare at her. They both wondered why. "I didn''t cry. I identally got sand in my eyes." "Mommy, lower your head. I will blow it out for you." At her daughter''s request, Jocelyn slightly lowered her head. Tammy seriously blew her eyes and asked, "Are you feeling better?" "I feel much better." "Mommy, did anyone bully you? Who made you unhappy? Tell me! I will tell Jeffrey and let him teach that bad person a lesson." "No, no one bullied me. I just miss my baby." "Do you miss me?" Tammy thought Jocelyn was referring to her. Jocelyn didn''t exin but nodded, "Yes, I miss you! I also miss Sean and Jeffrey. I always miss you when you''re not with me." Then, she held Tammy and Sean in her arms. Tammy hugged her and said, "Mommy, we miss you too!" Sean secretly felt happy to be hugged by Ms. Murray. Fortunately, Jeffrey was not here. Otherwise, there would not have been a ce for him. When Calvin returned, he happened to see Jocelyn hugging the two children. He could not stand it! His son had be clingy since Jocelyn hade. He was worried that Sean would grow into a mama''s boy. At night, Jocelyn was still in a gloomy mood. So, she leaned against the headboard in the master bedroom and drew on a sketchbook. She had many hobbies, and design was one of them. As long as she had time and inspiration, she would draw the things in her mind on the sketchbook. She had drawn a lot but had never made any of them into a finished product because she had no intention of bing a fashion designer. Seeing her go to bed so early, Calvin suspected that she was waiting for him. She had given him sexual innuendo during the day and was waiting for him on the bed at night! She must be plotting to sleep with him! Calvin was the president of the Plexis Group and had kept his chastity until now. So, he did not allow himself to be seduced by Jocelyn. ... Chapter 80 Exposing Her True Colors Chapter 80 Exposing Her True Colors Chapter 80 Exposing Her True Colors At the thought of this, Calvin walked over, coldly nced at her, and gloomily said, "Jocelyn, don''t think you can seduce me with such a trick! I won''t be fooled." Hearing such nonsensical words, Jocelyn couldn''t help looking up at him and asked, "What''s wrong, Mr. Austin? What trick did I y? When did I try to seduce you?" She tried to figure out what he meant but hadn''t a clue. "Hmph! Drop the acting! I know what you''re up to! It will not work on me!" Calvin picked up his pillow and quilt and walked to the sofa. Jocelyn put down the sketchbook, sat up, and asked, "Come on! What are you talking about?" "Take it literally! I won''t be fooled by you," Calvin bluntly said. Jocelyn felt as if hearing a big joke. He had sent her sexy underwear. But now, he was using her of ying tricks. If she hadn''t heard it with her ears, she would have suspected he had schizophrenia! Well, Calvin had managed to draw her attention! He was special and always looked for trouble. Jocelyn rolled her eyes and said, "Fine! Since you won''t be fooled by me, don''t give me those hints anymore. I have a lot of admirers!" Then, they both fell silent. Jocelyn picked up the sketchbook and continued to draw while Calviny on the sofa and began to y a game on his mobile phone. From Jocelyn''s perspective, she could see his phone screen. Seeing it was the most critical moment of this round of the game, she suddenly shouted, "Hi Siri!" Siri immediately responded. "Hi, I feel good to hear your voice!" "D*mn it!" Calvin instantly jumped up from the sofa and said, "Jocelyn, what are you doing? You made me lose the game!" Siri had popped out when he had been fighting the decisive battle, so he lost! Jocelyn took out her mobile phone and said, "I was just calling my Siri. I did not expect your Siri to respond. You should me your Siri! How can you vent your anger on me?" Calvin was speechless and angry, wishing he could strangle her! Seeing his gloomy face, Jocelyn hurriedly said, "Fine! It was my fault! I apologize! I''m sleepy. Good night!" Jocelyn quicklyy down, covered herself with the quilt, and pretended to be asleep. Seeing her hide like an ostrich, Calvin irritably scratched his head, realizing he could do nothing about her. D*mn it! He must have owed her a lot in his previous life! ... Two dayster, Ernest finally contacted Jocelyn again. At his request, she bought a bouquet and came to the hospital. It was funny. Theresa had had a threatened abortion, but she had been hospitalized in the orthopedic department. They were good at deceiving the public! After knocking on the door and entering the ward, Jocelyn saw Theresa, her assistant Linda, and her broker Lilly. Linda spotted her and reminded the other two, saying, "Jocelyn is here!" Both she and Lilly gave Jocelyn unfriendly looks, but thetter did not care and directly turned to look at Theresa on the bed. Theresa had fully recovered. But she had not used blush when putting on her delicate makeup and had applied concealer to her lips to highlight her frail temperament. So, she looked a little pale. Theresa put away her phone and looked at Jocelyn holding flowers at the door. When their eyes met, there seemed to be smoke of gunpowder in the air. Facing her, Jocelyn thought of her arrogant attitude and aggressive look five years ago. Theresa had made her lose everything and pushed her to hell. So, Jocelyn would never allow herself to apologize to her. Seeing her hypocritical and vicious face, Jocelyn felt intense hatred in her heart, so she forgot about Ernest''s words. Now, a voice was saying in her mind, "I must not apologize to my sworn enemy!" "Jocelyn, why are you here?" Theresa lightly asked. Jocelyn calmly walked over and looked down at her. Seeing her left arm bandaged as if she had a fracture, she snorted, "Ms. Chavez, you are a talented actress. In the blink of an eye, your stomach pain disappeared, and you have a fracture." Theresa turned pale when hearing her sarcastic words. Then, she stared at her and said, "Jocelyn, I advise you to correct your attitude. Don''t forget why you came here. You know your current situation. Watch your mouth!" Theresa was secretly warning her that it would not do anyone any good if she revealed her pregnancy to the public. Jocelyn knew what she was doing and did not forget Ernest''s words, so she said, "Fine! Mr. Cloutier asked me toe to express my care for you. These flowers are for you. Here you are!" Jocelyn took the initiative to hand the bouquet to Linda. But when Linda reached out to take it, Jocelyn suddenly let go. Seeing the bouquet fall to the ground, she said, "Oops, it fell." Linda couldn''t help asking, "Jocelyn, did you do it on purpose?" "You''re smart! I did not expect you to see it through. How can you let me send flowers to Theresa? She does not deserve it!" Jocelyn was talking to Linda, but her dark eyes were staring at Theresa on the bed. Lilly couldn''t bear to see her so arrogant, so she warned, "Jocelyn, don''t be too presumptuous! I recorded all your actions! If you don''t apologize to Theresa, I will post the video online. Everyone will see how you bullied her!" Lilly held up her phone and continued recording the video. Jocelyn faced the camera and nkly asked, "How do you want me to apologize to her?" Lilly replied, "Theresa will leave the hospital today. You just need to kneel by the bed and help her put on her shoes to show your sincerity." As soon as hearing her words, Jocelyn knew they had discussed it in advance and thought of this bad idea to humiliate her. She showed no signs of fear. And the look in her eyes became colder and harsher when she bluntly said, "Do you want to me kneel and help her put on her shoes? You are having a pipe dream! I can tell you the truth. I have no intention of apologizing to her at all! I haven''t done it before and will never do it in the future. I have never done any evil deeds, so I have a clear conscience. Why should I apologize? It is Theresa that should apologize to me!" Then, Jocelyn coldly looked at Theresa on the bed. If murder were not illegal, she would have killed her with a knife! Theresa hated Jocelyn''s arrogance to the core, but the asion did not allow her to confront her head-on. So, she could only continue to pretend to be weak and helpless, saying, "Jocelyn, how could you say such words? Have you forgotten how I treated you five years ago? I regarded you as my best friend. How could you say such hurtful words to me? You want to steal Ernest from me, but I have never med you! You are even trying to snatch my title of brand ambassador. I did not argue with you for the sake of our friendship. I just want to hear you sincerely say sorry to me. Is it that difficult?" Theresa acted as if being greatly wronged. And her eyes were teary when she spoke. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Lilly was still recording the video and even gave Theresa''s tears a few close-ups. Jocelyn''s eyes were full of sarcasm when she calmly watched her unconscionable performance, wondering how she could have the nerve to say she had regarded her as her best friend. Had Theresa forgotten how she had framed her and ruined her career? And She had ndered her and intended to devastate her reputation! Even if Theresa forgot, Jocelyn would remember it forever! The look in Jocelyn''s eyes turned increasingly cold when she bluntly said, "Yes, I''ve never regarded you as a friend! I don''t bother to make friends with a hypocritical woman like you. I will never apologize to you! God is watching your every move. Facts speak louder than words! I believe in divine retribution! You will go to hell!" Theresa should have felt grateful that Jocelyn didn''t kill her with a knife. Jocelyn would never bend down to apologize. Now that she had fallen out with her, there was no need to stay here any longer. When she turned to leave, Linda angrily shouted, "Theresa, Jocelyn is going too far! She is too arrogant! She cursed you and said you would go to hell!" "She crossed the line!" Theresa said with a stern look shing in her eyes. The tears on her face had dried up when she asked, "Lilly, did you record it?" Lilly nodded, "Yes. I''m editing the video. We will teach her a good lesson." She cut out the footage of them asking Jocelyn to kneel and help Theresa put on her shoes and kept Jocelyn''s arrogant speech. Then, she showed the video to Theresa. Theresa was satisfied with it and said, "Good job. Post it online!" She had suppressed her anger just now because she had wanted to irritate Jocelyn and expose her true color. Then, she would make an issue of it. After Theresa and Lilly executed their n, a video titled Jocelyn made a scene in the ward and arrogantly refused to apologize soon appeared on the Inte. And it quickly attracted many netizens'' attention. In addition to the video, Lilly had also written an article, turning this video into the best evidence that Jocelyn had bullied Theresa in the ward. Theresa looked weak, helpless, and pitiful in the video. She sincerely regarded Jocelyn as a good friend and forgave her despite her evil deeds. But Jocelyn was ungrateful. She deliberately humiliated Theresa when sending flowers and kept verbally hitting Theresa. Her attitude was extremely bad. She did not repent her mistakes or feel ashamed of seizing other people''s resources. A few hours after the video had been posted, the number of reposts andments became astonishingly big. ... Chapter 81 She Made A Strong Comeback Chapter 81She Made AStrongComeback Chapter 81 She Made A Strong Comeback Netizens seemed to remember that at the Icehive Entertainment press conference two days ago, Jocelyn had already publicly admitted all her mistakes and apologized. But now, why did she insult Theresa in the ward? In any case, her way of acting one way on the surface and another behind the scenes was outrageous! The criticism of Jocelyn on the Inte became more and more fierce. But at this moment, a piece of news titled Annual scumbag inventory: Ernest deserves No. 1 suddenly emerged and caught people''s attention. The content of the whole news did not analyze issues such as acting resources from a professional perspective, but described the history between Ernest, a scumbag, and Theresa, a mistress, from an emotional perspective. The content released was the picture of the improper rtionship between Ernest and Theresa five years ago, with detailed time and exnations, which was well-founded. Anyone who knew Jocelyn knew that five years ago, Ernest had made a high-profile courtship, and everyone in the entertainment circle knew that they were a couple. At that time, they had been called a golden couple in the entertainment circle. But who would have thought that during their rtionship, Ernest had also been dating Theresa at the same time? Those materials were scandals that they had spent a high price to suppress, and now they miraculously surfaced, and the truth was revealed. It turned out that Ernest''s statement to the outside world that he had begun to date Theresa after breaking up with Jocelyn was all a lie! The news listed Ernest''s frequent hotel room records with Theresa during his rtionship with Jocelyn, and the photos of their passionate kisses in the underground garage were all presented to the public one by one. In addition, it also cited the example of Ernest stealing resources that had originally belonged to Jocelyn and giving them to Theresa five years ago. The pictures exined themselves. What did it prove? Netizens who were not blind could see the truth that Ernest had unscrupulously cheated on Theresa again and again behind Jocelyn''s back five years ago. As Ernest''s real girlfriend, Jocelyn had suddenly announced her retirement not long after she won the Bomia Award for best actress five years ago. It was not hard to see that there was something wrong with it, which coincided with the previous news titled "Icehive Entertainment''s Crimes: The Truth About Jocelyn Murray''s Retirement". Netizens spected that Jocelyn had probably caught Ernest cheating on her with Theresa five years ago, and they had forcibly shelved Jocelyn to prevent the scandal from being exposed. Later, Ernest unterally announced the news of breaking up with Jocelyn, which was enough to prove that he had a guilty conscience. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Digging deeper into the development history of Icehive Entertainment, manyizens could see that Icehive Entertainment had been just a small workshop at the beginning. Jocelyn joined Icehive Entertainment when she was most popr, which made Icehive Entertainment famous at that time. Ernest had taken advantage of Jocelyn and betrayed her. After he hurt her, he even mercilessly shelved her. Now, after five years, Jocelyn hade back to disrupt Ernest and Theresa''s engagement and seize Theresa''s resources. It could be seen that she had been trying to take revenge on them in all the incidents where she seemed to make things difficult for them. After the incident, Ernest had shown no guilt and chose to me everything on Jocelyn without hesitation. This was undoubtedly another heavy blow to Jocelyn. No wonder she had refused to bow down to Theresa to apologize, and said that bad people would be punished and justice would prevail! Jocelyn was a victim in a rtionship. She had been hurt and unfairly treated, and no one had avenged her. Why should she bow her head to apologize to a mistress? As for Jocelyn voluntarily admitting all her mistakes at the press conference and taking all the me on herself, would she have done so if it weren''t for the coercion and threats from Icehive Entertainment and Ernest? At this moment, everyone suddenly realized how hard they had been pped in the face, and it turned out that they had been all blinded by appearances. They had all wrongly med Jocelyn, misunderstood her, and abused her. They had been all helping the bad guys. Those girls who had the same painful emotional experience as Jocelyn hated scumbags like Ernest, and they all took Jocelyn''s side. Public opinion on the Inte finally began to slowly change, and more and more people began to apologize to Jocelyn. Many people started to follow Jocelyn''s old Twitter ount and gradually turned from her haters to her fans. Manyizens who had not lost their conscience and realized their mistakes spontaneously gathered together and organized to seek justice for Jocelyn. Some enthusiasticizens began to dig into the TV series, movies, andmercials that Jocelyn had starred in her early days. Everyone found that after many years, Jocelyn''s screen works could still be called ssics. The most ssic was the TV series The Jones Girls which she had participated in when she was six years old. She brought the character she was ying to live. She was a talented actress with expressive eyes, and the characters she yed were dynamic and distinctive. They were impressive and unforgettable! From the past works, it could be seen that Jocelyn, who had debuted as a child star, had solid acting skills and versatile talents. She had a cheerful personality and low-key behavior. Even after bing the best actress, she had never put on airs. It could be said that Jocelyn was a treasured girl. Leaving aside her recent scandals and retirement rumors five years ago, there were almost no scandals or stains in her life before the age of eighteen. She could have developed into a shining international superstar, but she had been shelved maliciously for five years and was viciously smeared. How wronged she had been? All theizens whoined about Jocelyn logged on to the official website of Icehive Entertainment to leave messages condemning the president and management of thepany. At the same time, they also posted posts in the forum to support Jocelyn and even set up a support group for Jocelyn. Jocelyn''s support group had been disbanded five years ago. After it was re-established, a group of brand new fans joined in, and they fought with Theresa''s fan group on the Inte. The whole situation seemed to be a mess, but no one noticed that Jocelyn, a child actress best actress who had been shelved for five years, was now resurgent in poprity like a fire. She was unstoppable! ... At noon, Jocelyn agreed to have lunch with Todd. This time Todd did not make an appointment at Forest Restaurant, but at Tiffany Restaurant. After taking his seat, Todd sighed, "Jocelyn, do you know how difficult it is to have a meal with you? How many times have I asked you out before you finally epted my invitation?" "I''m sorry. I''ve been very busy recently! I can only take time out now. Please don''t be mad at me!" Jocelyn exined with a smile. "Forget it. I''m an easy-going man after all!" Thinking of the recent scandal, Todd asked, "How are you doing in Icehive Entertainment? If you''re not doing well, why don''t you consider a new job? Come to my Butterfly Entertainment. In the future, I will ask them to create an independent agency department to support you exclusively!" ... Chapter 82 Who Is This Bold Woman? Chapter 82 Who IsThisBoldWoman? Chapter 82 Who Is This Bold Woman? Todd wanted to intervene in Jocelyn''s affairs, but he knew Jocelyn''s temper, and he didn''t dare to make decisions without her permission. "I appreciate the kindness. To express my gratitude to you, tell me, what kind of girl do you want? I will introduce you to one." Jocelyn didn''t need his help. She hadn''t done enough in Icehive Entertainment yet, and her score with Ernest hadn''t been settled yet. Now that two cheating bastards hadn''t gotten what they deserved, how could she leave? "Forget it. Don''t trick me! You know me..." This girl knew that he had a crush on her, but she still made such a joke. "Okay, I get it. Let''s not talk about it. I don''t think you should put all your eggs in one basket, Todd. You should open your eyes and look outside the forest. Maybe you can find your oasis!" Jocelyn just wanted to persuade him to look at other girls more, and maybe he would find the right one! "I see. Don''t you worry about me?" The two began to eat, but neither of them noticed the personing in at the door. Calvin came to Tiffany Restaurant for lunch with an important client. After entering the door, he nced casually and noticed Jocelyn and Todd at the table by the window. They were talking andughing over lunch. Seeing this scene, Calvin suddenly remembered the words Jocelyn had said the night before. It''s not like she has no other suitors! Could it be that Todd was still chasing Jocelyn? Jocelyn didn''t reject him either, so the two were having lunch there. Thinking of this, Calvin instantly felt unhappy. She still bore his surname. How could she casually come out to have lunch with other men without his permission? Not even his cousin! "Mr. Austin, what are you looking at?" asked the client next to him. Calvin came to his sense, "Oh, it''s nothing. Let''s go!" The waiter led them to the exclusive box. But after sitting down, Calvin was still thinking about the two people outside. He found it hard to pretend that Jocelyn didn''t exist! No, he had to find a way to get Jocelyn to go back early. A woman shouldn''t hang out all the time! Todd was her cousin, and it would be inappropriate to say it face to face. So after careful consideration, Calvin came up with a good solution! He made a phone call to Jocelyn. Jocelyn was eating when her phone rang. She quickly took it out of her bag and found that it was Calvin calling. "Excuse me, Todd, I have a call!" Jocelyn said and answered the phone, "Hello?" "Where are you?" "Oh, I''m eating out with a friend." Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Man or woman?" Calvin asked intentionally. "Of course, it''s a man! And he''s very handsome! It works up my appetite!" Jocelyn said this on purpose. He was so pretentious and had ignored her. She decided to tell him with practical actions that she had plenty of handsome men around her! Todd heard Jocelyn calling him handsome to the person on the other end of the phone, but why did he have an ominous premonition? Was she trying to introduce some girl to him again? After hearing her description, Calvin had the urge to flip the table. He restrained his anger abruptly, and said, "Tammy is not feeling well. Do you still have time to eat outside? The child wants you. Come back quickly!" " "What? How is... Hey, why did he hang up?" Before Jocelyn could ask more, Calvin had already hung up the phone. When Jocelyn heard that Tammy was not feeling well, her heart tightened all of a sudden. She didn''t know what happened to the child, and now she was in no mood to continue eating. "What''s wrong?" Todd asked. "Oh, I have something important to do at the moment. I''m sorry I have to go. Thank you for inviting me to dinner." Jocelyn quickly packed her bag and rushed out of the restaurant. "Hey..." Todd wanted to say that he could drive her, but she had already disappeared Looking at the half-eaten lunch on the table, Todd smacked his lips,forting himself. Jocelyn had made great progress, and at least she had finished half of the meal with him. He was lucky that she hadn''t stood him up! Todd felt he should be content! Jocelyn rushed back to Tundra as fast as she could and rushed into the house. When she met Beatrice, she asked, "Mom, how is Tammy?" "Tammy is in the upstairs room!" Beatrice was confused, not knowing why she suddenly came back and asked. "Well, I''ll go and have a look." Jocelyn rushed upstairs and found her daughter ying with Sean in the nursery. "Tammy!" After opening the door anding in, Jocelyn called the little girl''s name. When Tammy suddenly saw here back, she was very surprised, "Mommy! Why are you back?" Jocelyn came over and picked up the baby. She patted her head, touched her face, and asked, "Are you not feeling well? Your daddy called me and said you weren''t feeling well. I was terrified and rushed back to see you." Tammy had just talked with Dad on the phone and knew what was going on. Now that Mommy came back, to cooperate with Dad, even if she was not sick, she would pretend to be. "Oh, Mommy, I''m not feeling well." Tammy immediately covered her belly and cried out in pain. "Where do you feel ufortable? Does it hurt here?" Jocelyn asked nervously, pressing her belly. "Yes, my heart hurts." Jocelyn was speechless. Little bastard, your heart hurts, but why are you clutching your belly? "Where does it hurt? Tell me the truth!" Jocelyn scowled, and Tammy gave in. "Mommy, I don''t feel well when I can''t see you." Her acting skills could be easily exposed by Jocelyn. Jocelyn said calmly, "Well, how about I take you to the amusement park and buy some marshmallows?" "Okay, okay!" Tammy jumped up when she was happy. She didn''t look sick at all. "It doesn''t hurt now?" "It doesn''t hurt anymore." Jocelyn pretended to be fierce, gently pinched her small face, and asked, "Little liar! Tell me the truth, what''s going on? Why pretend to be sick to fool me when you''re not sick?" "Mommy, I didn''t... It was Daddy..." When Tammy was scolded by Mommy, she betrayed Daddy decisively. I''m sorry, Daddy, you can y with the story you made up yourself, and I can''t help you... "How did Calvin do that?" Jocelyn let go of the child, terribly annoyed, and immediately called Calvin. After lunch, Calvin returned to thepany and was hosting a high-level meeting. He had reprimanded several executives who reported to him, and the others were frightened into silence, and the entire conference room was quiet. At this moment, Calvin received a call from Jocelyn. He didn''t intend to answer it at first, but he identally touched the answer button. Then, Jocelyn''s roar came through the microphone, "Calvin, you big bastard, you fooled me that she was not feeling well, so I ran back. Don''t you have any conscience?! You are too bad! You bastard!" The phone hung up so fast that no one could react. What happened just now? A woman called their CEO by his first name, and even called him a bastard! God! Everyone wanted to know who this bold woman was. All the executives looked at each other in nk dismay, and no one dared to say anything. They all felt that the president had been scolded, and he must be in a very bad mood now. Whoever talked to him would be asking for trouble. However, the expected storm did note. After being scolded by Jocelyn, Calvin was not annoyed butughed instead. He could almost imagine the scene of Jocelyn shouting with anger. It must be very funny. Anyway, he doesn''t care. Ruining her lunch with Todd made him feel great. Everyone seemed to have seen the president smile lightly. God, what is going on? What was wrong with Calvin today? He smiled after being scolded by a woman. Yes, the problem was that they had never seen Calvin smile before! For the first time today, they all saw him smiling! It was a miracle! All executives were getting more and more curious. Who was that woman? Could it be that Calvin had a girlfriend? Jocelyn hung up the phone after scolding me. Tammy had heard Daddy being scolded. Seeing Mommy getting angry, she silently took Sean''s hand and ran out to y. Daddy, you made Mommy angry, so you shouldfort her yourself! Good luck! Jocelyn was very angry. But soon she received a call from Veronica. She chatted with Veronica about work and felt better. Forget it! Calvin was so naive, and she wouldn''t be mad at him because it wasn''t worth it. They talked about Icehive Entertainment and Jocelyn learned that Veronica had made another move. Jocelyn felt that Ernest and Theresa would be taught a good lesson this time! ... At this time, in the office of Icehive Entertainment, Ernest was sitting and talking with several big investors. Regarding which female star to star in the new film, Ernest did not hesitate to hand in Theresa''s information, touting, "Gentlemen, please take a look at Our Icehive Entertainment''s leading female star Theresa. She not only has excellent acting skills but also has filmed many films and television dramas. She recently participated in The Phoenix Queen, and it''s expected to win the annual award. She also got the endorsement of Siumix''s Ayrence market recently. She is now at the peak of poprity, and choosing her is a guarantee of ratings." Siumix had not given a reply yet, but Ernest thought that Siumix was an endorsement that Theresa would certainly get, so he used it as an additional bargaining chip in the negotiation. Among them, the bearded investor, knowing that Theresa and Ernest were boyfriend and girlfriend, smiled and said, "Mr. Cloutier, you know how to promote your girlfriend!" Ernest smiled politely and exined, "Well, I know I should avoid suspicion, but I still want to rmend the best actress to you. Please believe in my choice. It can''t go wrong." ... Chapter 83 She Gave Him the Most Fatal Blow Chapter 83 She Gave Him the Most Fatal Blow Chapter 83 She Gave Him the Most Fatal Blow Another investor wearing sses had some doubts, "Mr. Cloutier, I read some news and heard that when she participated in films, and there were some action scenes, rain scenes, and explosion scenes... shepleted the difficult ones with a stand-in. Is it true?" Faced with this kind of doubt, Ernest could give a perfect exnation, "Oh, there are cases like this. But it was because Theresa was sick at work. So the crew considered using a stand-in for the sake of her health. Under normal circumstances, she would never need a stand-in. I can guarantee this." The investor wearing sses thought for a while, and then asked, "Ms. Theresa is good, but I somehow feel that she doesn''t have the temperament of the heroine we require in our new film. Mr. Cloutier, don''t you have any other actresses to rmend?" "Mr. Walker, Mr. Miller, it''s not that I don''t rmend other stars for you, but I''ve always chosen the most suitable candidates from the most professional point of view. The actress must ensure poprity and ratings so that you won''t lose money." Ernest wanted to help Theresa get this new film because he wanted to help her win the Bomia Award for best actress this year. So he strongly rmended her. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. At this time, the assistant of the bearded investor was the first to discover the news about Ernest and Theresa on the Inte and showed it to the bearded man. After reading it, the bearded man raised his eyebrows and showed it to his friends next to him. Several investors exchanged nces after they read it. Ernest thought they were discussing Theresa''s role, and didn''t think much of it, and even comcently thought that he would get Theresa the role in this new film with his eloquence. After reading the news, several investors expressed doubts about Ernest''s remarks just now. Theresa, whom he had been promoting all the time, turned out to be who she was in the entertainment circle as Calvin''s mistress, not because of her acting skills and strength. The investor wearing sses asked calmly, "Mr. Cloutier, may I ask, how did Miss Theresa make her debut at that time?" Hearing that the investors wanted to know about this situation, Ernest exined with ease, "Theresa was first discovered by a scout of Icehive Entertainment and became an artist under our Icehive Entertainment. She has a good personality and good poprity and works hard. Since her debut, her current achievements are inseparable from her personal talent and hard work, so I have rmended her to you." After hearing Ernest''s rambunctious bragging, the several investors looked at each other and stood up, "I''m sorry, Mr. Cloutier. Let''s talk about cooperation next time!" Seeing that the investors were about to leave abruptly, Ernest stood up to stop them and asked in confusion, "What''s the matter? Mr. Walker, Mr. Miller, is there anything you''re not satisfied with? We can talk about it again! If you''re dissatisfied with Theresa, I can rmend other artists in the company." "No need, Mr. Cloutier!" The bearded man refused, "Mr. Cloutier, it''s not that we are dissatisfied with the artist, but that we disagree with your way of doing things. If you''ve always fooled the public like this, then I don''t think there is a need for us to continue to cooperate." Ernest was confused,pletely unaware of why they had suddenly changed their attitude, and didn''t even give him a chance to discuss it. "Mr. Walker, Mr. Walker, could you please exin why? I don''t quite understand what you mean." "Mr. Cloutier, if you don''t understand, you can check your character, or read the news online. Goodbye!" All the investors left angrily. Ernest had wasted half a day talking in vain. After they left, Ernest returned to his desk, turned on hisputer, and checked the news online. When he read the news, he got furious. When did he make it to the trending topic? #Scumbag of the year Ernest# This newly added trending topic had reached the first position, with over 8.6 million views, and it was going viral. Ernest resisted the urge to smash theputer, clicked on the trending topic, and found the original news link. He found an eye-catching headline in the news, Annual scumbag inventory: Ernest deserves No.1. After clicking in and reading the news content, Ernest only felt a chill down his spine, and he felt as if his painted skin was being torn offyer byyer. He was horrified. Who did this? They exposed his rtionship history and dirt five years ago! Now his early secret affairs with Theresa had been exposed. He had be a scumbag scolded by the wholework, and Theresa had also be a mistress who had cheated on a man with a girlfriend. She had be famous because of his connections. Damn it! Who was deliberately framing him? Was it still Veronica? Thinking of Veronica''s calm face, Ernest shuddered. Looking back on Veronica''s performance in the company over the years, he found that she was not ostentatious at all, and she was very low-key, so low-key that others could ignore her existence. But it turned out that it was the most inconspicuous person who could give him the most fatal blow in the end. Back then he had only dealt with that stupid woman Jocelyn, but he had ignored the rtionship between Veronica and Jocelyn. Veronica was grateful for Jocelyn''s kindness, and she wanted to help Jocelyn get ahead, so she yed so many tricks secretly to deal with him. Veronica had been hiding recently, and it was a bit troublesome to find her. Ernest could only call the public rtions department anxiously and told them to deal with the scandal quickly. ... At the same time, Theresa was officially discharged from the hospital. She had notified the media in advance, and now the reporters were waiting at the gate of the hospital. Not long after, Theresa appeared with the help of her assistant Linda, her manager Lilly, and two bodyguards and they walked out of the hospital gate together. When the reporters saw Theresa with a bandage on her arm, they flocked to interview her. "Theresa, can you tell me what happened in the ward? How did Jocelyne to humiliate you in the ward?" "Theresa, if Jocelyn returns to Icehive Entertainment, you and Jocelyn will be in the samepany in the future. How will you handle your rtionship with her?" "Theresa, why has Jocelyn been targeting you everywhere? Did she threaten you?" ... The reporters had a lot of questions, but Theresa was already mentally prepared. She deliberately asked the assistant to do her makeup and make her look a little haggard. When the reporters came, she instantly turned into a weak girl and shed tears of grievance before she even spoke. "I didn''t expect this kind of thing to happen... I don''t know what to say to Jocelyn... I have always regarded her as a good friend. Even if she came back this time to steal my boyfriend, I''ve never med her. "But she has treated me with one attitude on the surface and another attitude behind the scenes. She even ran to the ward and yelled at me. ... Chapter 84 Its Not Over! Chapter 84 It''s Not Over! Chapter 84 It''s Not Over! "I am really sad. Why would she be like this? I was so nice to her, but she treated me like that. What did I do wrong?" Theresa tried her best to act sad-fishing, putting herself in the perspective of the victim. Tearfully recounting her ordeal, she tried to convince the media that she was the victim and that everything that happened was because Jocelyn was too malicious. However, at that moment, a reporter happened to read Ernest''s news. Then the reporter began to share the news with others. Many people took out their phones. When they read the news of the scum inventory, they couldn''t help but feel speechless. Meanwhile, Theresa, standing on the steps, was still sad-fishing with great emotion, "We used to be good friends, so I chose to forgive her. Now she''s back and wants to work at Icehive Entertainment again. That''s to say, we may be colleagues and see each other every day in the future. I just hope that Jocelyn can stay away from me. I just want to focus on acting and be a good actress..." Theresa''s tone was extremely sincere, and, with her tears, her speech was truly touching. If it weren''t for reading the news just now, the reporters might have believed her words. Now the reporters below the stage were looking at each other in embarrassment. They coincidentally thought, "Well, Theresa, you are indeed a formidable actress! You''re really amazing at acting! Your ability to lie through your teeth is invincible!" The reporters no longer wanted to listen to her lies and looked at her as if they were watching a joke. One of them said bluntly, "Ms. Chavez, we just read the news and found that the fact seems to be very different from what you said. May I ask if your rtionship with Ernest really began after he broke up with Jocelyn? Or have you already been secretly dating Ernest during their rtionship?" "What are you talking about?" Theresa was still crying when she heard the reporter change the topic. She didn''t even understand what he meant. Lilly''s reaction was quite quick. She noticed that the reporters were all reading the news and quickly took out her phone to check the hot searches online. When she saw the top hot search, she was so shocked that she widened her eyes and immediately handed her phone to Theresa to have a look. Theresa finally realized that her rtionship with Ernest was exposed online, which confirmed that she was a mistress who relied on Ernest for her career promotion. Then she waspletely dumbfounded. At the same time, the reporters below the stage were constantly asking such questions. "Theresa, can you exin your rtionship with Mr. Cloutier five years ago?" "Theresa, did you really get together with Mr. Cloutier during his rtionship with Jocelyn? If so, were you not a mistress?" "We remember that Ernest and Jocelyn once announced their rtionship in a high-profile manner. They used to be recognized as a couple in the entertainment industry. However, Ernest was having an affair with you at the same time. So, he cheated on Jocelyn, didn''t he?" "Theresa, don''t you think it''s shameful that you hooked up with Mr. Cloutier behind Jocelyn''s back and even wanted her to apologize to you?" Now, the reporters were no longer friendly. On the contrary, they became very mean, and the questions they asked were more and more pointed. Theresa waspletely flustered. She tried to exin, but she could not refute it at all. She felt as if she had been pped hard in the face, and now she was so embarrassed that she even wanted to disappear at once. However, she got nowhere to hide under their gaze. In the end, she could only pretend to faint. Theresa suddenly fainted, so Lilly could only ask her bodyguard to quickly drive her back to the hospital to get away from the reporters. After Theresa "woke up", she could only hide in the ward and dared not leave the hospital. She was furious and said with hatred, "It''s all because of Jocelyn! It must be her! She wants to get back at me! Jocelyn Murray! It''s not over!" Theresa was having a hard time, and Ernest was also in a dilemma. Since the scandal broke, Ernest had been trying to bury the news through public rtions, rifying to the public that there had been no affair between him and Theresa and that he had not cheated on Jocelyn. He also imed that the pictures were all photoshopped, implying that someone had deliberately fabricated the truth in order to take revenge on him. However, his public rtions did not work well, forizens believed more in the facts they had seen. They all believed that Ernest had cheated on Jocelyn and that he deserved it. Under such intense public pressure, Ernest wanted to draw Jocelyn out as his scapegoat and let her exin their rtionship. However, Jocelyn didn''t answer his phone calls at all. ... At the Plexis Group. Jocelyn was now in the CEO''s office on the 59th floor. If it weren''t for the crowd of reporters outside and the fact that she had nowhere to go for now, Jocelyn would not have taken Marcus''s advice to stay in Calvin''s office to keep out the trouble. Calvin was not in the office. He seemed to be hosting a new productunch conference at the conference center. It mightst for quite a long time. Therefore, Jocelyn was the only one in the vast office. She couldn''t help but look around Calvin''s office curiously. Calvin''s office was very avant-garde and trendy, making Jocelyn feel like it was a technology exhibition hall filled with intelligent devices everywhere. Even the coffee machine was operated by a robot. The robot brewed her a cup of fragrant coffee and ced it in front of her. Jocelyn picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip. She thought it tasted good. As there was no one else, Jocelyn simply took off her shoes andy down on the sofa to read a magazine leisurely. Jocelyn felt drowsy as she read. Not long after, she fell asleep in a daze. In the afternoon, the office door automatically opened, and Calvin returned with Wells, the president of Siumix, who had been invited to visit hispany. After the two men had entered the office, Calvin was about to invite Wells to take a seat on the sofa, then he unexpectedly found a woman lying horizontally there. When he looked more closely, he found that the woman was Jocelyn. "Why is she here?" he thought in confusion. Wells also noticed the woman on the sofa. When he looked closely at her, he recognized that she was the woman who had worn a mask at the Siumix eventst time, but he did not remember her name for a moment. He just eximed in surprise, "Wow, isn''t she the beauty at the charity party that day? I have to say, even her sleeping posture is ecstasy!" When Wells saw such a beautiful woman sleeping like a mermaid, the word came to his mind at once. However, he didn''t know that his objectivement darkened Calvin''s face instantly. Calvin couldn''t help but think, "It''s all because Jocelyn''s sleeping posture is too enchanting, which is undoubtedly a fatal charm for men." For some unknown reason, Calvin was very unhappy that another man had seen Jocelyn like this. As a result, without any hesitation, he bluntly ordered Wells to leave, "Wells, let''s talk another day. You should go now!" "What?" Wells could not understand why Calvin had suddenly changed his mind. After all, they had just agreed to an in-depth conversation about their partnership. Therefore, he was very confused about why Calvin would suddenly ask him to leave. "Mr. Austin, please give me a chance to have a good conversation with you. It''s really not easy for me toe to Atdes and meet you." "I don''t want to talk today." Calvin pushed Wells straight out of the office. Then he closed the door and locked it. Wells, who had been turned out, stood outside the door for a moment, feeling depressed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he finally remembered that the beautifuldy he had just seen was Jocelyn. He thought, "Calvin personally told me that Jocelyn was his woman. No wonder he kicked me out. It seems that he wants to talk to thatdy and doesn''t want me to disturb them. Well, then let''s talk about it another day." After straightening out his thinking, Wells happily left the Plexis Group. When he sat in his car, his assistant had already sent him theplete video of Jocelyn at the Siumix event, as well as the clips of the movies and advertisements that Jocelyn had shot five years ago. After watching Jocelyn''s performance, Wells was surprised to find that Jocelyn was exactly the kind of Atdes spokesperson they had been looking for. Both Jocelyn''s acting skills and her sense of shot were excellent. Her strong features allowed her to perfectly master various styles. Her sparkling eyes seemed able to speak. Coupled with her unique temperament, she was very in line with Siumix''s requirements. After watching these videos of Jocelyn, Wells was even more certain that the goddess Siumix had been looking for was her. Thinking of Jocelyn''s personal rtionship with Calvin, Wells had alreadye up with a good idea to convince Calvin to cooperate with him. Wells immediately called his assistant and instructed him to invite Jocelyn to endorse Siumix. ... In the CEO''s office of the Plexis Group. Jocelyn was awakened by the sound of closing the door. She sat up from the sofa, rubbed her eyes, and then saw Calvin walking over. "Mr. Austin..." Calvin came to the sofa and frowned at what he saw in front of him. The coffee table was in a mess, covered with the remains of food. For a man obsessed with cleanliness, this messy scene was unbearable. Calvin put his hands on his waist and said with an unhappy expression, "Jocelyn, why are you in my office?" "Well, I just finished handling something and had nowhere to go, so I came to your ce to have a rest. Are you surprised to suddenly see me?" Jocelyn no longer cared about the small unpleasantness that had urred between the two of them before. She got up and moved her limbs to stretch herself. Calvin didn''t think it was a surprise at all. He noticed that she had used his personal coffee cup and couldn''t help but get angry. "Did you use my cup?" "Yes. What''s wrong? Can''t I even drink a cup of coffee in your office?" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Jocelyn pointed to the coffee machine and said, "You can''t me me. Your machine is too advanced. As soon as I sat down, it offered to make me coffee. I have to say, your coffee machine is really considerate." The intelligent coffee machine could actually tell that Jocelyn was praising it. It even replied, "Thank you. It''s my honor to serve you." "Wow! Look, it''s so polite!" Calvin''s face turned extremely dark. He did not like anyoneing in or out of his office without permission. It annoyed him to see Jocelyn using his office as a lounge. "What''s wrong with Marcus?" muttered Calvin. Then he thought, "I asked Marcus to stay with Jocelyn, and now Jocelyn is in my office, but he didn''t even report to me in advance. I really want to ask if they still see me as the owner of this office." Chapter 85 An Impulsive Kiss Chapter 85 An Impulsive Kiss Chapter 85 An Impulsive Kiss "It''s not Marcus! It has nothing to do with him! I insisted oning in myself." Jocelyn, who had always been kind to those around her, did not wish to implicate Marcus again in this affair. Being nced at coldly by Calvin, Jocelyn realized that she might have offended him bying uninvited today. In order to ease his anger, Jocelyn muttered, "Stop being angry. I apologize to you, okay? I promise to call you in advance beforeing here next time!" Calvin snorted lightly and thought, "How dare she even want toe here again?" Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Seeing that, Jocelynined in her heart, "I''ve already apologized. Why is he still angry?" She was really depressed and said unhappily, "Hey! It''s my birthday today. Can''t you give in a bit to me?" Calvin knew that today was Jocelyn''s birthday. After all, early in the morning, Tammy had reminded him to hold a birthday party for Jocelyn, saying that Jocelyn would be very pitiful if no one celebrated it with her. "If it weren''t for the sake of Tammy, I wouldn''t have bothered to pay any attention to her!" he thought. Then he ordered directly, "You have ten minutes to clean my office!" Jocelyn twitched her nose and roasted, "Well, Mr. Austin, if you continue to be so stingy, you may not be able to get a wife in the future! Take it as my reminder." Calvin didn''t get angry. He just nced at her and asked, "Then what''s your identity?" Jocelyn flipped her hair and smiled lightly. "Me? Have you forgotten that we are only working together temporarily? If one day you meet your crush, we''ll have to break up." Jocelyn said that as if she didn''t mind it at all, as if she was ready to break up with him at any time. Calvin, however, felt a little unhappy, but he did not know why. Anyway, he was not happy. He frowned and stared at her, and Jocelyn suddenly revealed a bright smile. "Mr. Austin, don''t tell me that you take it seriously and want to spend your whole life with me." "How is that possible?" Calvin looked away and tugged anxiously at his tie. He said in his heart, "How would I possibly have such thoughts about Jocelyn? I will never forget the little girl who saved me ten years ago. As long as I haven''t found her, I won''t give up. As long as I find that little girl, I will definitely let Jocelyn go. But now, she is still my wife in the name, so I have the right to control her." Jocelyn''s beautiful face was reflected in the ss as she smiled confidently and gracefully. "Why is it impossible? Anything is possible! Perhaps soon, you will find that I have many advantages, and then you may fall in love with me uncontrobly and hopelessly!" After hearing Jocelyn''s unfounded spection, Calvin cast a speechless nce over at her. Then he threw her a book, which hit her in the face, and said, "You should take your medicine now!" "Hey! Calvin! I think you''re really..." Jocelyn''s beautiful face was hurt by the book, and she was so angry that she even lost her words for a moment. She thought, "I have never seen a man who is more straightforward than him. He is not considerate at all. He''s really obnoxious, both in word and deed. He''s really annoying!" "Really what? How would I fall in love with you, such a stupid woman? Only a fool like you would be deprecated like that!" Calvin had a slight contempt for her. He thought her trouble was all caused by her stupidity. He couldn''t understand why she didn''t turn to him, such a powerful support, for help but chose to handle it all on her own. Therefore, he thought she was very stupid. "I know how much I''ve been deprecated, but I don''t need you to worry about me, Mr. Austin." Jocelyn almost lost control of her anger. She thought, "I know he''s a genius. So what then? How could he despise me so much just because he''s smarter than me?" In fact, Calvin did not despise her. He just felt that she was too stubborn and didn''t know how to use the resources around her. He thought it would be impossible for her to stand alone against the darkness of the entertainment industry. He was indeed a bit angry at her foolishness. After all, there were so many good men in the world that he could not understand why she would be so blind and fall in love with such a scum as Ernest. "Who says I''m worried about you? You''re not only hard-mouthed but also blind. No wonder you have been used by others," said Calvin with mockery. Jocelyn was so angry that she even rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Yes, I''m blind! Every man I have ever loved is a scum! But Mr. Austin, you have no right tough at me. It''s true that Ernest did not love me and used me, but so did you. Is there any difference between you two?" Calvin couldn''t help but feel a little angry. "Do you mean I''m the same as that kind of man?" Jocelyn put her hands on her waist. "Aren''t you? That scum has never kissed me, and you dare not. If you dare to kiss me, I will believe that you are different from him!" Knowing that he was obsessed with cleanliness and wouldn''t touch any woman casually, Jocelyn deliberately said so to block his mouth. "Don''t think that I dare not do so!" Calvin was stimted and stood up abruptly. He stared at her with his dark eyes, as if he was looking at a hedgehog and had nowhere to start. Jocelyn met his eyes and then saw his expression of frustration. Suddenly, she felt inexplicably happy. "You dare not, do you, coward?" Being satirized again by Jocelyn, Calvin went throughplex and intense struggles in his mind. In the end, he closed his eyes and braced himself to kiss her straight on the forehead. Then he immediately pushed her away, pretending to be alright, and said, "How about it? You''d better not satirize me again!" Jocelyn blushed and lowered her head in silence, but in fact, she wasughing in her heart, "I really didn''t expect him to dare kiss me!" When Jocelyn stole a nce up at him, she was stunned, for Calvin was wiping his lips with a handkerchief. She thought in anger, "What does he mean? Does he mean that I''m dirty?" Seeing his reaction, Jocelyn could bear him no longer. "Mr. Austin, could you please consider my feelings? I''m a girl! What do you mean by wiping your lips after kissing me?" To her surprise, Calvin said in a dull voice, "You didn''t wash your face. It''s too oily." Jocelyn was stunned for a moment. Then she thought in speechlessness, "Oh my god! He really thinks that I''m dirty! How could he be so straightforward? I can''t believe it! I really don''t want to get along with him anymore!" Anyway, Jocelyn had suffered a huge blow, and she wanted to seekfort from Tammy again. She roared in her heart, "Tammy, help me. I really can''t stand your daddy any longer!" After calming down a bit, Calvin felt that he had been too impulsive just now, and he felt very awkward now. He turned around, walked to his desk, and sat down. Although he seemed calm, his mind was already messy. He thought, "I must have been too mad at her just now. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have done that." To hide his inner panic, Calvin could only start working with hisputer. He tried topose himself so as not to be disturbed by her again. Seeing that Calvin was already at work, Jocelyn did not trouble him again. Instead, she quietly nestled on the sofa and yed games. After that, the two of them were at peace. Though there was nothing tricky to deal with today, Calvin found himself utterly unable to settle down to work. Chapter 86 A Couple in the Game Chapter 86 A Couple in the Game Chapter 86 A Couple in the Game Calvin felt that with Jocelyn there, his work would be greatly affected. Seeing Jocelyn keep ying with her cell phone with her head down, Calvin was curious about what she was ying with. He peeked in and saw her ying a game developed by MS, his game company, so he asked, "Do you also y Super King?" "Yes, I am a loyal yer of this game." Jocelyn''s gaze was fixed on the screen, and her hands were neatly manipting the game interface. She said without looking up, "Hey, Mr. Austin, based on our rtionship, can you open the back door to give me some top-notch equipment? I want Fire Soul and Dragon Tattoo, but I haven''t got them. I suspect there may not be such things in the game." Jocelyn chattered nonstop, while Calvin remained silent, but he had quietly logged onto the game. As soon as he logged into it, he found that he had a spouse in his ount, named "Twinkle Star". He felt very confused and thought, "Why would I suddenly have a couple in the game? Usually, Sean is using my ount, so I specte that it is he who has built such a ''couple rtionship''." Calvin didn''t pay any more attention to this and asked Jocelyn, "What is your name in the game?" "Twinkle Star!" Calvin was stunned for a moment. He hadn''t expected her to be the Twinkle Star in the game. He thought in speechlessness, "In reality, she''s my spouse, but I didn''t expect her to be a couple with me in the game as well. What else can I say?" Jocelyn was immersed in killing monsters in the game when she suddenly received a message on the world map reminding her that she had received three pieces of Fire Soul from "Night Sky". Jocelyn screamed in surprise and then shouted, "Mr. Austin! You don''t need to give me the equipment! My son Sean has already given me that. How sweet he is!" Jocelyn recently discovered that Sean was good at not only drawing but also ying games. Their rtionship got a lot closer as they yed games together. Calvin fell silent. He was so angry that he didn''t even know what to say for a moment. When ying Super King with Jocelyn, Sean always used an ount called "Night Sky". Therefore, she thought it was Sean''s ount and had no idea that it was Calvin''s main ount. She had just said she wanted some top-notch equipment, and Sean immediately gave it to her. As a result, she was instantly cured. Jocelyn was so happy that she didn''t notice that Calvin''s face had turned extremely dark. Calvin couldn''t help but think in anger, "When did I be her son? Why can she be so stupid?" He could only exin angrily, "That''s not your son. Night Sky is my ount!" "What? Was it you who gave me that?" Jocelyn looked up in surprise at Calvin''s handsome face and found it very gloomy. She couldn''t help but chuckle, "Well, since it''s yours, then give me a few more rare equipment. Anyway, you can''t use them all!" Calvin then gifted her several pieces of Dragon Tattoo and other top-notch equipment. Suddenly receiving so much equipment, Jocelyn smiled happily. She thought, "I''m so lucky to be here today. With all this valuable equipment, I can show off in the game for quite a while. If I''m short of money one day, I can sell all the equipment to make a big fortune." Jocelyn was in a good mood, and, for the sake of Calvin''s generous gift-giving, she took the initiative to say, "Mr. Austin, are you busy now? Do you want to team up with me and y Super King?" Calvin didn''t want to team up with a rookie. "I like to y games alone." Jocelyn knew that every game guru liked to be a lone ranger, and she really envied his game rank. After all, Calvin ranked first in the game. Thest time she teamed up with Sean, she felt like they were the tiger and the fox, which had brought her great fun. "Mr. Austin, now that we are a couple in the game, just team up with me this time, okay?" Jocelyn, regardless of whether he was willing or not, directly sent him a team invitation. Although Calvin had firmly rejected her, he did not hesitate at all to ept the invitation. Then Jocelyn finally knew what it was like to follow a game guru. Twinkle Star barely did anything after they formed a team. As long as the monsters approached her, they would instantly be turned into debris by Night Sky. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. When doing tasks, she didn''t need to do anything at all. She just needed to be a quiet rookie who picked up treasures. "Oh my god! Mr. Austin, you''re really amazing!" "What a strike! Excellent! You deserve the top rank!" As Calvin neatly killed the monsters, Jocelyn chattered incessantly. She had thought that Sean yed the game well enough, but now she realized that there was always someone better. Calvin was indeed superb in the game. "No wonder he''s a boss who made his fortune by founding a gamepany!" she thought. A sense of pride suddenly rose in Jocelyn''s heart, and she felt quite happy to have a husband like Calvin. The two of them yed the game as a team for quite a while. As Calvin listened to Jocelyn''s incessant praise of his operations, his vanity was greatly gratified. For the first time, he felt that the game he had developed was quite interesting. He had always found it rather dull when he yed it alone in the past. Happy times were always short, and an afternoon had already passed. After work, Calvin left the company with Jocelyn. However, on the way, Jocelyn noticed that they were not going back to Tundra, so she curiously asked, "Mr. Austin, are we not going back to Tundra? Where are we going?" "You will know when we get there." Calvin did not tell her, and Jocelyn asked no further questions. Suddenly, Jocelyn''s phone rang. She answered it and recognized Glenna''s voice. She felt a bit depressed and thought, "How did Glenna get my phone number?" She could only greet, "Hello?" Glenna''s soft voice sounded at the other end of the phone, "Is Jocelyn speaking? I''m Glenna." "What''s up? If you don''t have anything to say, I''ll hang up!" "Wait, don''t hang up!" Glenna hurriedly shouted, then exined, "No matter what, you are still my sister. Today is our birthday. You have not forgotten it, have you? Dad booked us a room at the Empire Hotel to celebrate our birthday. I will send you the room number. You muste tonight!" "Don''t count me in. Just celebrate it yourselves!" Jocelyn hung up directly, but within a minute, she got Glenna''s text message. [Glenna: Jocelyn, I won''t me you anymore. I will always treat you as my sister! I hope you will come! I will send you the address.] After reading the text message, Jocelyn rolled her eyes and ignored it. Shortly after, Jocelyn received another text message from Glenna. It was an address. She knew that the Empire Hotel was the best hotel in Glebey and that the Diamond Room was the most luxurious room in the hotel. Usually, anyone who wanted the Diamond Room had to book it several months in advance. Jocelyn couldn''t help but think, "Well, Leonard must have spent a lot on booking the Diamond Room. They said they were going to celebrate our birthday, but I know better than anyone else that Glenna invited me only to show off how nice Leonard is to her. She invited me there simply because she wanted me to be her foil. I remember that in the past, whenever our birthday came, Leonard would hold a party in the name of the two of us. Glenna, however, was always the only one surrounded and ttered by our family and friends. She has always been a princess loved by people around us. However, I was always isted and excluded whenever I was present. All the people attending the party would tter Glenna for the sake of Natalia. No one cared that it was also my birthday, and no one had ever said happy birthday to me. Never!" [Jocelyn: I won''t go!] In the end, Jocelyn sent a message back to Glenna and refused her invitation. Meanwhile, Glenna was sitting in the dressing room making up. When she saw Jocelyn''s text message, she smiled smugly. She thought, "It''s best if she doesn''te! I don''t want her to steal my limelight! The reason I invited her to the birthday party is to tell her how much our dad loves me. Moreover, I''ve already invited Todd by her name. If she doesn''te, I will have the opportunity to spend time alone with Todd, will I not?" ... Soon after Jocelyn had rejected Glenna, the car stopped at the gate of the Empire Hotel. Looking at the tall, glittering gold doorte of the hotel, Jocelyn really felt as if she had been pped in the face, for she had just told Glenna that she would note to the Empire Hotel. Jocelyn didn''t know why Calvin came here, so she asked, "Mr. Austin, why are we here?" Calvin had already put on his mask and ordered her, "Get out of the car." "Okay." Jocelyn thought, "Maybe he wants to treat me to dinner outside. After all, I had been ying games with him all afternoon, which was rather tiring. Therefore, it does make sense that he wants to treat me to dinner." As usual, ck-d bodyguards led the way, and Calvin''s presence was always as imposing as a big shot in a TV drama. Craig had already informed the hotel in advance, so as soon as they arrived there, a waiter respectfully ushered them into a private room. Jocelyn followed Calvin in, but when she saw the waiter leading them to the Diamond Room, Jocelyn stopped and grabbed Calvin''s clothes. Meanwhile, she asked in shock, "Mr. Austin, what are we doing here?" "Isn''t today your birthday?" Calvin asked. Hearing that, Jocelyn thought, "It''s indeed my birthday! But I had already rejected Glenna and said I would note. If she sees me here, how embarrassing will it be? Besides, I''m with Calvin, so how should I introduce him to those people? Most importantly, I really don''t want to meet the Murray family, let alone celebrate my birthday with Glenna. I don''t want to make myself unhappy." Therefore, Jocelyn anxiously said, "Forget it, Mr. Austin. Let''s not go in. Let''s go to another hotel, okay?" "Everything is ready. Why do you want to leave?" Calvin didn''t know why she had so many worries. He thought, "Everything is ready for her. If she doesn''t go in, Tammy will be very sad. After all, I have already promised Tammy to bring her here!" "Well, I think it''s better to keep a low profile. The Diamond Room is too luxurious. We are here only for dinner, and there is no need for such extravagance. How about going back to Tundra? I''ll personally cook a meal for you, okay?" Chapter 87 Leonard Is Humiliated Chapter 87 Leonard Is Humiliated Chapter 87 Leonard Is Humiliated Jocelyn only wanted to persuade Calvin to change his mind. "Enough." However, regardless of whether she was willing or not, Calvin directly sped her wrist and pulled her into the Diamond Room. At the same time, the Murray family had also arrived at the entrance of the Empire Hotel. Leonard hade with his wife, Natalia, and he told the hotel waiter that the room they had booked was the Diamond Room. He then asked the waiter if they could now enter the room. The hotel waiter politely replied, "I''m sorry, Mr. Murray. The Diamond Room has been reserved for a distinguished guest this evening. We will exchange it for the Emerald Room for you. Is that okay? If you''re okay with it, I''ll lead you there now." After hearing this exnation, Leonard was a little angry. "Are you kidding me? I''m the one who booked the Diamond Room, but now we''re here, and you are going to exchange it for the Emerald Room for us. What do you mean?" Leonard was angry because the invitations they had sent out had clearly stated that the party would be held in the Diamond Room, but now it had suddenly been changed to the Emerald Room. He couldn''t help but think, "What will the guests think if theye and see this? Everyone in Glebey knows that the Diamond Room of the Empire Hotel, with its luxurious amenities such as a theater, is a symbol of status. Now, they are going to rece it with the Emerald Room. Isn''t it like a p in my face?" "I''m really sorry, Mr. Murray. We have just been told that the Diamond Room has been booked by a distinguished guest." "What distinguished guest? How dare that guy jump in line and take our room?" Natalia also felt embarrassed and wanted to figure out who the person was. After all, the Empire Hotel had a rule that the Diamond Room must be booked at least three months in advance. Therefore, they wanted to know what kind of distinguished guest could make the Empire Hotel awe him so much, even break the rules for him. The waiter exined, "It''s a friend of our boss." Leonard was pped in the face and felt humiliated, so he said angrily, "A friend of your boss? How dare you break the rules just because the person is a friend of your boss? We booked it three months in advance! How about this? Go and talk it over with that person. Ask him to give us the Diamond Room, and we''ll give him the Emerald Room!" "I''m sorry, Mr. Murray. We can''t do that!" "Tell me, who the hell is that guy? How dare he humiliate me like this?" Leonard believed that the Murray family was very prestigious and influential in Glebey, holding a significant position in the business world. Therefore, he couldn''t believe that anyone would dare to take the Diamond Room from him, knowing that he had booked it. "I''m really sorry, but this is the guest''s privacy, and we cannot disclose it. Mr. Murray, if you do not agree to take the Emerald Room, you may cancel your reservation! We willpensate you with ten times the deposit. If you are willing to take the Emerald Room, we can offer you a discount of 88%." Leonard did not care about any discount, he just felt he had lost face. Natalia, however, was a person who loved to take advantage. Hearing that the hotel could offer them a discount of 88%, she immediately persuaded her husband, "Leonard, let''s take the Emerald Room! It''s about time, and we can''t find a suitable ce for the party elsewhere now. Why don''t we just take it?" If it weren''t for Natalia''s persuasion, Leonard wouldn''t agree at all. "Alright, let''s take the Emerald Room!" "Mr. & Mrs. Murray, this way, please." The waiter led them to the Emerald Room. Upon arriving at the Emerald Room, they immediately found that it could notpare with the Diamond Room at all. The Emerald Room was slightlyrger than the regr room, but it was completely inferior to the Diamond Room in terms of ostentation. However, they couldn''t change anything now, and Leonard had no other choice. Before long, Glenna arrived at the Empire Hotel with several of her friends. One of thedies, named Madelyn Madigan, boasted, "Glenna, you are really as beautiful as a princess tonight. This dress is so pretty. It must be very expensive!" Glenna was verycent and said with a bright smile, "It''s not very expensive. It cost only about $100,000. I bought it with my allowance." Madelyn eximed in shock, "Oh my god. That''s my allowance for several months!" Another girl named Sheron Hazel, the daughter of the director of Pailworth Hospital, also ttered Glenna, "I''m really jealous of you, Glenna. You have such a good family, and your parents love you so much. The most important thing is that you have a super-handsome boyfriend. You''ve got everything that we want." Glenna had been bragging to her friends that Todd was her boyfriend. These girls believed in her and envied her. "You''re right. With such conditions, Glenna will soon be a top actress in the entertainment industry." "Stop it. I have not thought of that yet. I became an actress only for fun." In fact, Glenna had always dreamed of being a top actress. Back then, she didn''t want to lose to Jocelyn, so she also chose acting as her major and entered the entertainment industry. So far, she had taken part in two films, but she got her roles because her father had paid for them. However, she was not good at acting. "But even if Glenna quit her acting job, she doesn''t need to worry about her future. She can go home and take over the Murray family''s business. At the very least, she can count on Todd. Anyway, she will definitely marry Todd and lead a worry-free life in the future." Listening to her friends'' ttery, Glenna felt extremely smug. Sheron thought of something and asked, "By the way, Glenna, is Jocelyn Murray, who istely under heated discussion online, your sister?" "Of course not. We were not born by the same mother." Glenna had never associated herself with Jocelyn in front of her friends. Madelynined, "Don''t mention that woman. It''s disappointing! How can shepare with Glenna? She must be a nondescript woman!" Madelyn had seen Jocelyn before and had been taunted by her, so she didn''t like Jocelyn. They talked andughed all the way, following Glenna to the door of the Diamond Room. However, the bodyguards outside the door and the foreman responsible for serving the guests in the Diamond Room stopped them. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "I''m sorry,dies. The Diamond Room has been booked for tonight. No one is allowed to disturb the guests inside. Please go elsewhere." Being stopped by them, Madelyn said arrogantly, "Hey! Are you blind? Look at her! This is Ms. Glenna Murray, the daughter of the Murray family. She''s celebrating her birthday tonight in the Diamond Room. She is the star of tonight. How dare you stop her?" Sheron chimed in, "She''s right! What''s the matter with you? How dare you stop the guest of the Diamond Room? Do you really want to be fired? If you don''t get out of the way, we''ll file aint against you!" The foreman was not angry but said politely, "I''m sorry,dies. Our guest in the Diamond Room tonight is not named Glenna Murray. As far as I know, the room Mr. Murray has booked is the Emerald Room. You can go there and have a look." "How is that possible?" Glenna didn''t believe it. Chapter 88 Jocelyn Almost Loses Her Heart Chapter 88 Jocelyn Almost Loses Her Heart Chapter 88 Jocelyn Almost Loses Her Heart She thought, "When I was about to get here, Mom called and told me to take my friends directly to the Diamond Room. How would it suddenly turn into the Emerald Room as soon as I entered the hotel?" Although she had a lot of doubts, Glenna was afraid of the aura of the ck-d bodyguards standing at the door of the Diamond Room. They all looked like subordinates of some big shot, so she did not dare to provoke them. Glenna could only take Madelyn and Sheron to the Emerald Room. When they arrived at the Emerald Room, Glenna saw her parents there. Seeing them, she asked in grievances, "Mom, Dad, what''s going on? Didn''t we book the Diamond Room in advance?" Natalia took her hand and exined, "We did, but someone took our room through the back door. Now we have no choice but to change it to the Emerald Room." Glenna looked around the Emerald Room and found that although both the Emerald Room and the Diamond Room were the best, their overallyout and momentum werepletely different. The Diamond Room was the most luxurious room in the Empire Hotel, a symbol of identity. Glenna, who had seen the Diamond Room, was very satisfied with the environment inside. Therefore, she thought that the Emerald Room was just-so-so now. Glenna couldn''t ept it. "Who''s so arrogant to take our Diamond Room away?" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Glenna really wanted to go to the Diamond Room to have a look, but since she was ady, she couldn''t do anything that would be beneath her status. Madelyn, who was next to her, also defended them, "How would such a thing happen? The Empire Hotel has been time-honored and reputable. They have set their own rules, saying that private rooms need to be booked in advance if anyone wants to get them. But now they themselves have broken the rules. How dare they? Are they not bullying consumers? Ridiculous!" Sheron didn''t want to give in as well. "You''re right. How dare they not even give Mr. Murray some face? Let''s go to the manager and argue about this!" They were moring to go out and argue with the manager of the hotel, and Glenna did not stop them. She was thinking that if they could make this matter bigger, perhaps the hotel might give them back the Diamond Room. Then Madelyn, Sheron, and several other youngdies went to the hotel reception desk to argue with the lobby manager. Madelyn asked aggressively, "How could the Empire Hotel do such a thing? Do you not even know what firste, first served is? How could you bully us like this? The Diamond Room was originally reserved for Mr. Murray and his family. How dare you give it to others at will? You keep saying that the customer is God. Is that the way you treat God?" Sheron also chimed in, "I warn you, you''d better quickly give the Diamond Room back to us before Mr. Murray gets angry. Otherwise, you won''t be able to bear the consequences!" The lobby manager, who had been ustomed to this kind of thing, smiled and politely exined, "I''m sorry,dies. This is our boss''s order, so we have no right to swap rooms without permission! I advise you to stop causing trouble, or our hotel has the right not to serve you. If you continue to shout here and disturb the hotel order, I can have the security guards throw you out now!" "Who are you? And who is your boss? Don''t try to scare us! Do you know who I am? My father is the president of the Iselectrics Group! Tell your boss toe out!" Madelyn''s voice grew louder and louder. She thought, "After all, my father is the president of the Iselectrics Group and a regr customer of the Empire Hotel. Do they dare not give my father some face?" Hearing that, the lobby manager said, "No matter who your father is, even if he''s a king, I will not make an exception for you." He then asked the security guards toe over and kick them out. Madelyn and Sheron hadn''t expected the lobby manager to actually ask the security guards to drive them away. They both shouted angrily and even kicked the security guards. "We are guests of the Murray family. How dare you drive us away?" "If you continue to cause trouble, our hotel will cklist you all," the lobby manager told them bluntly. Just at that moment, Glenna came to look for them and saw the security guards driving them away. She could only quickly run over and exin to the lobby manager, "I''m sorry, they''re all my friends. They didn''t mean it. I''ll take them away now." Had it not been for Glenna''s help, Madelyn and the others might have been not only kicked out but cklisted by the hotel. The matter was finally settled. Glenna took them back to the Emerald Room, and as she passed the Diamond Room, she could not help ncing over. She really wanted to know who had booked the Diamond Room tonight. ... The Diamond Room was thergest room in the Empire Hotel, with magnificent decor and a dreamy atmosphere. After Jocelyn had followed Calvin into the room, her eyes were narrowed by the dazzling crystal lamp. After adjusting to the light, she looked around and was surprised to see that the room had been decorated as a very romantic birthday party venue. Over the dome hung innumerable beams of blue starlight, which, reflected on the smooth marble floor, merged into a brilliant Milky Way. Pink heart-shaped balloons were everywhere, adorned with countless roses, fluttering ribbons, and crystal stones. Jocelyn felt like she was now in a dreamy fairy world. In the most eye-catching ce of the room, the words "Happy Birthday to Jocelyn" were hanging, shining brightly. "Is this a birthday party for me?" Jocelyn was so shocked that she covered her mouth and tried to restrain her inner emotions. She couldn''t help but think, "How many years have passed since I had my own birthday? I almost forgot." At that moment, she only felt touched, and her eyes turned slightly moist as she felt a bit like crying. Jocelyn''s gaze fell on Calvin''s back, and she asked, "Mr. Austin, were these all prepared by you? I really didn''t expect that..." The tears still fell uncontrobly, and she wanted tough at herself for her weakness. She looked up and blinked hard to keep back the tears. Calvin turned around, and the sight of her weeping caused his heart to tremble. For some unknown reason, when he suddenly saw her shed tears, he felt a little ufortable. "Why are you crying? Are you really so touched by these things?" He thought, "I did book the room and ask my people to decorate it. It did not cost much, but I did not expect Jocelyn to be moved to tears at the sight of these shiny things. When Tammy begged me to prepare a birthday surprise for Jocelyn, I even felt it was childish, not believing that a girl would like such shiny things. But now, I saw some light in Jocelyn''s eyes, brighter even than the stars. Well, women are really strange creatures." Jocelyn was indeed a bit too sentimental, and it might be due to herck of care. Therefore, when someone treated her a little better, she would be deeply moved. She raised her hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she smiled mockingly and said, "How can a wealthy young man like you who is surrounded by everyone understand my feelings? I haven''t had my own birthday for many years." Calvin felt puzzled. "Aren''t you thedy of the Murray family?" He thought, "With Jocelyn''s wealthy family background, birthday parties should be held every year for her. At the very least, there should be plenty of fans spontaneously celebrating her birthday for her. Also, herpany would naturally not forget to celebrate it for her. However, why does she look like a poor Cindere?" Jocelyn smiled bitterly. "There are many types ofdies, and one like me has nothing but just a name." Her gaze turned towards the dreamy room again. In order to restrain her tears, she had been forcing a smile, trying to make her expression look more natural. Hearing that, Calvin felt as if his heart had been hit by something, feeling a bit sad and distressed. With some impulse, he blurted out, "With me around, you won''t be like that again." "What?" Jocelyn didn''t quite hear what he had said, but when she asked him again, he shook his head. "Nothing." His meaning was that as long as Jocelyn was with him, he would celebrate every birthday for her, and he would give her what she deserved, instead of leaving her forlornly alone. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Jocelyn had wanted to say something more, but Calvin grabbed her wrist and led her towards the middle of the room. On the dreamy stage was a veryrge gift box tied with arge purple bow. Calvin pointed to it with his chin. "Open it." Jocelyn widened her eyes in surprise and asked curiously, "What is inside such arge gift box?" As she was unpacking the box, she thought, "Is it a very dreamy castle model or a huge Teddy bear?" After she had removed the bow, she lifted the lid, and then many red balloons flew out of the box. At the same time, three little ones jumped up simultaneously. Tammy and Jeffrey shouted coincidentally, "Surprise, Mommy!" Sean could not speak, but in his heart, he was saying the same to Jocelyn. Jocelyn looked at the three little ones in the box in surprise. In a suit, Sean looked almost as handsome as Calvin. Jeffrey also looked cool in a tiny suit, while Tammy looked extremely cute in a pink princess dress. "Sean? Jeffrey? Tammy!" Jocelyn was very surprised. She had not expected her birthday gift to be her three little ones. She almost lost her heart to see them jump out of the gift box. What surprised her more was that Tammy was holding a painting. It depicted a family of five with childish strokes, and there were even some handwritten words below that read "Happy birthday to Mommy. We love you". "Mommy, this painting is drawn by me under Sean''s guidance, and the words are written by Jeffrey. Do you like this gift?" asked Tammy as she looked up at Jocelyn. Chapter 89 Jocelyn Is Moved Chapter 89 Jocelyn Is Moved Chapter 89 Jocelyn Is Moved "I like it very much." Tammy gave her the painting and said, "Mommy, this painting is for you. Happy birthday, Mommy!" "Thank you, my dear." Jeffrey asked, "Mommy, you didn''t expect the gift to be the three of us, right?" "No! I didn''t expect it." "Are you surprised?" "Of course! I''m very surprised!" Jocelyn was so greatly surprised and moved that she could no longer control her emotions. She covered her face and began to sob. Seeing her suddenly crying so sad, Sean scratched his small head and looked at Calvin in confusion, as if asking, "Daddy, what''s wrong with Ms. Murray?" Calvin shook his head and answered with a gaze saying, "Who knows?" Although he didn''t know why Jocelyn was crying, Sean felt that at such a moment, Calvin should hold her in his arms tofort her. Sean winked at Calvin and hinted, "Daddy, hurry up!" "What''s the matter?" Calvin didn''t get him and looked closely at him, thinking that his eyes were ufortable. Sean was really speechless. He thought, "Why is Daddy still motionless? Can''t he see that Ms. Murray is crying? Oh my god! Daddy is really stupid!" In the end, Sean could only take a handkerchief from Calvin''s pocket and hand it to him. Then he hinted at Calvin again with a gaze, "Daddy, Ms. Murray is crying. Hurry up and wipe her tears with the handkerchief. Comfort her not to cry!" Calvin had never wiped tears for any woman. He roasted in disdain, "How old are you? Stop crying." Sean hadn''t expected him tofort Jocelyn in such a way. He held his forehead and thought, "Daddy is really hopeless!" Seeing Jocelyn crying, Jeffrey quickly hugged her andforted her, "Mommy, don''t cry. We will all be with you!" Tammy could not bear to see Jocelyn cry. When Jocelyn Murray felt sad, she felt even sadder. She wanted to wipe Jocelyn''s tears away, but she was too short to reach them! "Daddy, can you help Mommy wipe her tears? Mommy is crying!" "Alright, stop crying. If you continue crying, you''ll be ugly." Under the watchful eye of the three little ones, Calvin handed Jocelyn his handkerchief. Hearing that, Jocelyn couldn''t help but burst into a smile. She took the handkerchief from him, wiped her tears with it, and then blew her nose with it, making a loud noise. Calvin looked at her in horror. As he watched her blow her nose with his handkerchief, his face turned ck. What scared him more was that after blowing her nose, Jocelyn even returned his handkerchief to him. However, as a man who had always been obsessed with cleanliness, Calvin naturally refused to take back the handkerchief which had been soiled by Jocelyn. He didn''t want it, so Jocelyn could only put it in her own pocket. Then she looked at the three little ones in front of her and smiled touchingly. "Jeffrey! Tammy! Sean! Thank you all!" "Mommy!" Jeffrey hugged her and buried himself in her arms. "Mommy..." Tammy also threw herself into her arms. Seeing Sean standing there alone, Jocelyn cast him an encouraging gaze and said, "Sean,e here!" Sean looked at Jeffrey, and, seeing that Jeffrey was not ring at him, he timidly walked over. Seeing that, Jeffrey thought, "If it isn''t Mommy''s birthday today, I won''t allow him to get so close to Mommy! I''m in a very good mood today, so I don''t mind lending him Mommy''s embrace. After all, he has no mother. What a poor guy!" "Sean..." Jocelyn hugged Sean and held all three kids in her arms. After embracing them for a moment, she released the three kids and then held their small faces one by one, rewarding each of them with a big kiss. Then all three kids smiled happily. Seeing that, Jocelyn thought, "These three kids must be the best gift given to me by God. In addition to my two cute kids, Jeffrey and Tammy, I now have Sean. The existence of Sean heals my scars of losing Billy. Even if I can''t find Billy in my lifetime, I will still treat Sean as my real son and love him." All three little ones received a kiss reward for the gift. Tammy saw Calvin standing still and asked, "Daddy, have you prepared a gift for Mommy?" "Me? No..." Calvin shook his head directly, indicating that he hadn''t prepared a gift for Jocelyn. Tammy pursed her lips in disappointment and thought, "Why can''t Daddy treat Mommy a little nicer?" Tammy was easy to fool, but Sean was not. He had touched the gift when he was looking in Calvin''s pocket for a handkerchief. Seeing that Calvin was shy to take it out, Sean decided to help him. He took out a small box from Calvin''s pants pocket and handed it to Tammy. Tammy saw it and eximed in surprise, "Daddy, you have prepared a gift! Why didn''t you say it? Naughty Daddy!" Tammy happily held the gift and handed it to Jocelyn on behalf of Calvin. "Mommy, this is a gift prepared by Daddy for you!" "For me?" Jocelyn was already greatly surprised. She hadn''t expected that Calvin would have prepared another gift for her. She couldn''t help but nce at him in surprise. With no expression, Calvin looked aside and thought, "If it weren''t for Tammy''s plead, I wouldn''t have done such a thing!" N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Jocelyn looked carefully at the wine-red velvet box with the Phodonese logo of "Van Cleef & Arpels" printed on it. When she opened it, she saw a delicate tinum diamond bracelet with diamonds set in a trefoil pattern. Under the refraction of the light, it emitted a dazzling glow. Jocelyn recognized the style of the bracelet and eximed in surprise, "Wow, isn''t this thetest bracelet from Van Cleef & Arpels I sawst time? It hasn''t been officially released yet. How did you get it?" Last time, Jocelyn identally saw the advertisement for the bracelet. Thinking of the trefoil ne her mother had left her, she felt that the two pieces of jewelry would be a good match. At that time, she had just mumbled that it looked good, but she had not expected Tammy to hear it and remember it. "What can''t I get with money?" Calvin''s tone was casual, as if nothing could trouble him. In fact, it was because Tammy hade to him with an advertising brochure, saying that Jocelyn liked the bracelet and then asking him to buy it as a birthday gift for her. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have personally gone to the CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels for the back door and asked the designer to customize a bracelet specifically for Jocelyn in advance. Considering the property of the Austin family and the power of Calvin, it seemed that there was indeed nothing he couldn''t get. Jocelyn directly epted the gift and wanted to try it on now. However, after trying for a while with one hand, she failed to put the bracelet on. Seeing her so clumsy, Calvin simply helped her put it on. The diamond bracelet was exquisite, and hanging on her slender, fair wrist, theyplimented each other. "Mommy! You look really good with this bracelet! You''re so beautiful!" Seeing Calvin help Jocelyn put on the bracelet, Tammy happily pped her hands and reminded Jocelyn, "Mommy, you haven''t rewarded Daddy with a kiss yet!" Chapter 90 The Most Unforgettable Day Chapter 90 The Most Unforgettable Day Chapter 90 The Most Unforgettable Day At her reminder, Jocelyn subconsciously looked up at Calvin. Calvin looked away and coughed to ease his embarrassment. He thought, "I really want to spank her. Can she stop booing?" The atmosphere was a bit strange. Calvin didn''t look at her. Jocelyn pursed her lips and was a bit embarrassed to do so. Therefore, she said to Tammy, "Forget it, your daddy will get allergic." Hearing that, Calvin couldn''t help but think, "What? Forget it?" Calvin turned his head in frustration. Strangely, he felt a little lost that Jocelyn didn''t give him the kiss of reward. After that, under the lead of the three little ones, they began to celebrate Jocelyn''s birthday. ... Meanwhile, the guests invited by the Murray family for the birthday party were gradually arriving at the hotel gate. Leonard and Natalia personally weed the guests at the door, fearing that they could not find the Emerald Room upon arrival. The guests all ttered Leonard and Natalia when they saw them. "Mr. Murray, you are really generous today. Thanks to your daughter, we finally got a chance to see and even dine in the Diamond Room of the Empire Hotel. Thank you so much for inviting us here." "He''s right. The Diamond Room of the Empire Hotel needs to be booked a few months in advance. That''s the most upscale ce in the entire Empire Hotel." "From this, we can see that the Murray family is wealthy, and Mr. Murray is very generous to his daughter and loves her very much!" Listening to theirpliments, Leonard was about to exin. Suddenly, a line of people walked in from the gate, all dressed in magnificent Phodon court clothes, with great grandeur in their attire and presence. Someone recognized them and eximed in surprise, "Wow, isn''t that the most famous Royal Performance Group in Phodon?" Indeed, it was the most famous Royal Performance Group in Phodon. Anyone who understood music knew that this performance group was famous all over the world, and their tickets were hard toe by. Even rarer was the fact that they had never been to Atdes before. The hotel respectfully weed the arrival of the Phodon Royal Performance Group. The guests coincidentally eximed, "Oh my god. Mr. Murray, have you even invited the Phodon Royal Performance Group to celebrate the birthday of your daughter? I can''t believe it!" "I heard that the tickets for the Phodon Royal Performance Group are hard toe by. It''s really unforgettable to see a musical they perform in my lifetime!" "That''s great! I bet tonight will definitely be a wonderful night!" The guests were discussing it with great enthusiasm and expectation, but Leonard and Natalia were so embarrassed that they did not know how to exin. The hotel manager took the Royal Performance Group to the Diamond Room, and the guests of the Murray family spontaneously followed suit. Leonard and Natalia tried to stop them, but they didn''t hear them. After the Royal Performance Group had entered the Diamond Room, the guests also wanted to walk in, but the bodyguards turned them out with no mercy. "What''s the matter? Why aren''t we allowed in?" "Mr. Murray''s invitation clearly states that the birthday party will be held in the Diamond Room, right?" The guests were still arguing at the door when Leonard and Natalia finally arrived. After a long exnation, they finally took the guests back to the Emerald Room. After the guests had entered the Emerald Room, all their excitement was swept away. Tonight, not only were the guests disappointed, but even Leonard and Natalia were humiliated. The connections and faces they had umted over the past few decades were shattered in one go tonight. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ... In the Diamond Room, all the lights were out, and only the blue little stars on the dome were still shining. Looking from below, it looked like a cluster of billions of stars and was particrly beautiful. Soft music rang in the room, and a flicker of candlelight suddenly lit up in the darkness. The candlelight came closer and closer, until finally a huge three-tiered birthday cake, pushed by a waiter, came into view. Tammy pulled Jocelyn to the cake and said while jumping, "Mommy, make a wish quickly!" "Okay." Jocelyn folded her hands and closed her eyes towards the big birthday cake. At that moment, she was indescribably touched, and a drop of crystal tear flowed down her cheeks. She recalled, "When I was a kid, and when Mom was alive, she would celebrate my birthday with me. Back then, with a loving smile on her soft face, Mom would gently hold my little face and say to me, ''You''re one year older now, Jocelyn! Happy birthday, my dear!'' At that time, how happy I was to be with Mom and to hide in her warm embrace..." In the flickering light of the candle, Jocelyn''s delicate face was enveloped in a faint halo, and two lines of bright tears were trickling down. Coupled with her slightly trembling and moist eyshes, she looked very fragile and lovely. Calvin suddenly felt that Jocelyn cried quite often. Most of the time, she was like a strong and unstoppable steel warrior in front of him. However, when in front of such a small surprise, she would be moved like a little girl. For some unknown reason, when he saw her tears now, he had an impulse to hold her in his arms. Calvin sighed secretly, thinking that he must be crazy. After making the wish, Jocelyn opened her eyes and blew out all the candles with the three little ones. The next second, the myriad lights in the room were all on again, and Jocelyn could clearly see the three cute little ones in front of her. They were all looking at her with sweet smiles on their faces. Looking at their cute little faces, Jocelyn had a sudden idea. She wiped a little cream with her fingers and smeared it on the noses of the three little ones. The kids instantly looked more adorable, and Jocelyn couldn''t help butugh. The three little ones were all stunned, and when they reacted, they also wiped some cream and wanted to smear it on her nose. However, they were too short to reach her, even with their jumping feet. Tammy forcefully demanded, "Mommy, squat down!" Jocelyn bent slightly to cooperate with them, so that the little ones could reach the tip of her nose. Tammy wiped the cream and couldn''t help but burst intoughter when she saw Jocelyn''s funny look, "Mommy, your nose has turned white." Jeffrey also wiped some cream on Jocelyn''s face and then chuckled. Even Sean joined in, smearing a bit of cream on Jocelyn''s other cheek. The little ones all seemed to have received sweets or to have aplished a mysterious task. They were allughing merrily. Shane was smiling very pleasantly, although without being aware of it. He had not expected to be able tough as heartily as Jeffrey and Tammy. Jocelyn nced at the standing freezer next to her and thought of a prank. Taking advantage of Calvin''s unpreparedness, she also smeared some cream on his face. Calvin had intended to dodge, but he failed. As a result, his handsome face was smeared with cream. He felt ufortable with it, so he frowned and roasted, "Childish!" "Daddy, you''ve also be white-faced!" Tammy pointed to his face, and the three kidsughed even happier. Jocelyn, too, keptughing and covering her stomach with her hands. Seeing that they actually dared tough at him, Calvin also punished Jocelyn and the kids by wiping cream on their faces, which made him feel better. The two adults and the three kids looked at each other''s funny faces andughed for quite a while. Jocelyn wanted to record such a warm and beautiful moment, so she suggested, "Hey, Calvin, let''s take a group photo with the three kids! You all look very funny!" "Do you think you are not looking funny?" roasted Calvin. "That''s why I want to record it!" Jocelyn took out her phone, turned on the camera, and was about to take a photo. Tammy cooperated fully and ran to her arms. She looked at the camera, posed, and shouted to her two elder brothers, "Jeffery, Sean,e over quickly!" The children all came to her side, but Jocelyn found Calvin still standing where he was. Therefore, she could only say, "Calvin, can you squat down a bit? I can only see your legs in the camera!" Tammy tugged at his pants and said, "Daddy, squat down quickly. You''re too tall!" "You guys are really troublesome." Unable to resist their request, Calvin could only squat down and take a group photo with them. After taking a group photo of the five, Jocelyn took another one with the kids. She then took a photo of the room as a souvenir. She wanted to record such a beautiful night. As soon as they had finished taking photos, someone came in to notify Calvin that the people he had invited had arrived. Calvin instructed some waiters to tidy up the stage, and shortly after, the prepared Royal Performance Group entered the room. After looking at the magnificent and grand group of people for a moment, Jocelyn recognized who they were and eximed, "Oh my god! Mr. Austin, have you invited the Phodon Royal Performance Group? I can''t believe it!" "You''re over-excited." Calvin shed a handsome smile,ughing at her fuss. "Mommy, quicklye over here and sit!" Tammy took them both by the hand and drew them to their seats. Jeffrey and Tammy sat next to Jocelyn, while Sean sat next to Tammy and Calvin sat next to Sean. Then the five of them enjoyed the ssic musical "Carmen" performed by the Phodon Royal Performance Group. Sitting there watching the magnificent dance on the stage, Jocelyn felt a sense of peace and satisfaction that she had never experienced before. For her, her 24th birthday was very meaningful and wonderful. She felt that this might be the most unforgettable day of her life. With her "husband" and "kids" around, she had a family of five and was loved by them. Such a warm and beautiful feeling made her unable to resist. However, an uncontroble sense of disappointment rose in Jocelyn''s heart, and she feared that she might get used to such a life. She couldn''t help but think, "What will it be like if I lose this wonderful life one day? Will it be another abyss? Will it break my heart?" Chapter 91 Glenna Is Envious Chapter 91 Glenna Is Envious Chapter 91 Glenna Is Envious Meanwhile, the lively birthday party was still going on in the Emerald Room. Wearing a beautiful diamond crown and surrounded by the crowd, Glenna was epting everyone''s blessings. She kept smiling. but her eyes nced asionally towards the door, and she felt a little anxious. Her friends had asked her many times when her boyfriend would arrive. Glenna didn''t know if Todd woulde or if he had seen the message she had sent him. As time passed by, she couldn''t help but think, "Is Todd noting tonight?" Just as she was thinking, the door was suddenly opened, and a pretty man walked in with a beautiful bunch of flowers in his hand. Todd''s arrival added to the Murray family. Everyone knew that Todd was the president of the Garner Group and that he came from a noble family. There was talk of a possiblemercial marriage between the Murray family and the Garner family, and that alone made many people envious. All eyes were drawn to Todd. As soon as Glenna''s friends saw Todd, they immediately reminded Glenna, "Glenna, your boyfriend is here!" "Your boyfriend is really handsome!" "He''s the president of the Garner Group, the representative of the perfect man. Oh my god! Look how pretty he is! I''m so envious of Glenna...¡± Upon hearing her friend''s reminder, Glenna looked up at the door and then noticed that Todd, who was holding a bunch of flowers, had finally arrived She quickly pushed aside the crowd and excitedly walked up to him. "Todd, you''re finally here. I thought you wouldn''te!" "Sorry for beingte," said Todd apologetically. "It''s okay. I''m d that you''re here." Glenna''s gaze fell on the bunch of flowers in his hand and said with a surprised expression, "Is it for me? Thank youl¡± She thought the bunch of flowers was for her and reached out to take it, but Tedd moved it and exined, "It''s for Jocelyn. I''m sorry." Glenna''s hand froze in mid-air, and she felt very awkward. She hadn''t expected that the bunch of flowers was not for her, and her face was almost flushed with embarrassment. Todd received a message from Glenna saying that she would hold a birthday party here tonight and that Jocelyn would also be present. When he arrived, the hotel waiter told him that the room booked by the Murray family had been changed to the Emerald Room. As soon as he had entered the room, Todd began to search for Jocelyn in the crowd, but he couldn''t find her anywhere. Therefore, he asked, "Where''s your sister?¡± Todd''s attention was not on Glenna, and Glenna''s face darkened. A hint of jealousy welled up in her heart, but she could only continue to pretend that nothing had happened. She smiled and said, "I haven''t had time to tell you yet. Jocelyn is busy tonight and won''te.¡± Glenna finally told Todd that Jocelyn had note. She thought that as long as Jocelyn was not here, Todd would definitely give her the bunch of flowers and stay to celebrate her birthday. In that case, she would have an out and could redeem herself in front of her friends. Unfortunately, things did not go on as she had expected. Seeing that Jocelyn was not here, Todd had no further interest in staying. He said, "Since Jocelyn is not here, I''ll leave now." Seeing him about to leave with the bunch of flowers, Glenna stopped him, "Todd, today is also my birthday!" "Happy birthday to you! Goodbye!¡± After saying that casually, Todd left the Emerald Room directly. As he passed the Diamond Room, Todd stopped and took out his phone to call Jocelyn, only to find that her phone had been turned off. Unable to find Jocelyn, Todd became even more worried. He thought, "She must be hiding somewhere crying now, just as she used to be on her every birthday." Todd did not know that he was now separated from Jocelyn only by a wall Unable to contact Jocelyn, Todd was about to leave, but Glenna chased after him all the way while shouting, "Todd, don''t go! Stay to celebrate my birthday. okay?¡± Todd tuharound and said expressionlessly, "Don''t chase aft¨¦r me, Glefina. I''m here to celebrate Jocelyn''s birthday. Since she Is not here don''t want to stay either. Just go-pack to the party yourself!¡± C¨¦ntent belongs to After saying that, Todd casually tossed the bunch of flowers into a nearby trash can and left the hotel without looking back Standing in ce, Glenna froze for a moment. As she watched him throw the bunch of flowers into the can as if it were garbage, she felt very distressed. She thought in anger, "Why? Why would he rather throw it in the trash can than give it to me? God knows how envious I am of Jocelyn. I''m so envious that she can win Todd''s love. Since we were kids, Todd has only followed and protected Jocelyn. Why? What''s so good about Jocelyn? What advantage does she havepared with me?¡± In the Diamond Room, the musical "Carmen" was at its climax. In order to have a quiet birthday with Calvin and the kids, Jocelyn deliberately turned off her phone and focused on enjoying the musical. At the end of the musical, the Royal Performance Group made a curtain call, and Jocelyn gave them a big round of apuse. The end of the musical meant that her wonderful birthday was also drawing to a close. Jocelyn was forced to return from the beautiful and dreamy fairy world to the cruel reality. Tammy, who had fallen asleep at precisely emo''clock, was now nestled imJocelyn''s arms. Jocelyn-> turned her head to look at Calvin-and thanked him again sincerely, ¡°I''m reallhappy tonight. Thank you, Mr. Austin." ~ a) 4Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. "You''re wee,¡± said Calvin casually. Their eyes met, and they gazed at each other in silence. Sean was now sitting on the other side of Calvin, and there was only Tammy between Calvin and Jocelyn. The distance between them was very close Perhaps the starlight above was too bright. or perhaps Jocelyn''s eyes were too charming. Unconsciously, Calvin drew nearer to her. However, just at that moment, Jeffrey suddenly said, "Mommy, Tammy is already asleep. Let''s go back early!" Meanwhile, he thought, "I''ve noticed that Mr. Austin is attracted to Mommy! The party venue he''s set up for tonight is so romantic. He must be thinking about getting close to Mommy. isn''t he? I must find a way to stop him from taking advantage of Mommy!" In Jeffrey''s heart, his biological father, Todd, was more important than Calvin Therefore, he wanted to know what Todd had been busy withtely and why he hadn''te to celebrate Jocelyn''s birthday with them. Jeffrey''s voice startled the two of them. Jocelyn withdrew her gaze awkwardly and nodded. "Okay." Then she said to Calvin, "Mr. Austin, Tammy is asleep. Let''s go back, shall we?" "Okay." Calvin coughed softly to conceal his embarrassment. When Jocelyn was about to get up, Calvin reached out and said, "Let me carry her." He picked up Tammy, and Jocelyn tidied up their things. Then they left the room with the kids. At the sametime, the party in the. Emerald Room was also over. AS¡± she walked back to the room after seeing off her friends, Glenna . noticed someoneing out of the Diamond Room at a casual nce. Chapter 92 Glenna Wants to Snatch Calvin Away Chapter 92 Glenna Wants to Snatch Calvin Away Chapter 92 Glenna Wants to Snatch Calvin Away The first thing Glenna noticed was the woman walking behind. She thought the woman''s profile looked like Jocelyn¡¯s. After looking at her back, Glenna was almost sure that the woman was Jocelyn, and she was confused about why she was at the Empire Hotel. Jocelyn walked with a particrly tall man, and from his appearance, Glenna could tell that it was not Todd, for the man looked even more dignified than Todd. The man appeared to be carrying a little girl, with two little boys at his side. She couldn''t help but think, "Can''t they be the kids born by Jocelyn?" Glenna''s mind was in a mess now. She only wanted to know who that man was and why he was with Jocelyn. Her thoughts went on, "ls he the man who took Jocelyn away five years ago? Tonight, the Diamond Room was forcefully upied by someone, and Jocelyn and the man had juste out of it. Is it possible that the man deliberately took the Diamond Room to celebrate Jocelyn''s birthday? No wonder Jocelyn refused toe to my birthday party. It turned out that she had already had one! She deliberately took the Diamond Room from me. Damn you, Jocelyn!" Glenna was extremely envious and resentful. Now she wanted to figure out who the man was and why he was so generous to Jocelyn She quietly followed them out of the hotel When she reached the entrance of the hotel, Glenna happened to see the profile of the man. At a quick nce, Glenna''s heart seemed to have been hit hard by something, and she was very shocked. She had originally thought that Todd was one of the most handsome men in Glebey, but the man, with his striking look, was much more handsome than Todd. The man had a perfect profile, with deep, well-defined lines, which made him the most perfect masterpiece of God. Dressed in a high-end hand- tailored suit, his every move carried an aura of innate dignity and dominance. He was tall and straight, and not an old man, as he was rumored to be. He was apparently a very young and handsome man. In fact, Glenna thought his back looked a bit familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Glenna searched her memory. After a moment, she eximed in her heart, "I remember it! It''s him! He''s the masked mysterious man from thest Siumix event, who stormed the stage to get Jocelyn out of trouble. Oh my god. I never thought there would be such a stunning face beneath the mask! I can''t believe it! I never expected Jocelyn to know such a handsome and noble man! How is that possible? Why would Jocelyn know such an outstanding man? Such an excellent man should be mine!" Outside the Empire Hotel, limousines were lined up, and Calvin got into one with Tammy in his arms. Jocelyn and the two little ones followed him. As they were about to stoop and get into the car, a flower girl suddenly ran up and gave her something "Miss, this is a gift for you. Happy birthday!¡± "Wait..." Jocelyn was stunned for a moment and instinctively took it. Then she noticed that the gift was from a strange little girl and tried to ask her about it, but the little girl had already run away happily. She felt puzzled about why the little girl had given her the gift. After all, they did not know each other at all.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Jocelyn looked at the small bag in her hand and took out a ck velvet box from it. Curious, she opened the box, and when she saw what was inside, she covered her mouth in astonishment. At the same time, Glenna, who was in the dark, happened to see Jocelyn receiving a gift, and her eyes were dazzled as Jocelyn opened the box. The box unexpectedly contained a rubyrger than a pigeon''s egg. Under the refraction of the light, the ruby emitted a dazzling glow. Glenna was shocked again. She couldn''t help but think, "Who bought her such a luxurious gift? Could it be Calvin?" "Wow! Mr. Austin, is this ruby you bought for me? Oh my god! It''s so beautifull" Jocelyn couldn''t help but exim in surprise, and then happily sat in the car. Upon hearing Jocelyn call the man "Mr. Austin", Glenna thought to herself, "Which Mr. Austin in Glebey? There is only one man who can afford a limited edition limousine, the Diamond Room of the Empire Hotel, the Phodon Royal Performance Group. and such arge ruby. That is, Calvin Austin, the president of the Plexis Group. right? Everyone knows Calvin, but Calvin is actually a very low-key guy who does not like to be seen in public. No entertainment newspaper dares to casually publish his love news. Few people have seen his face so far. It is because he is too low-key and mysterious that some rumors describe Calvin as an ugly man. However, now facts prove that Calvin is not ugly at all. Instead, he''s extremely handsome!¡± Watching the extended limousine close its doors and the convoy slowly pull away from the hotel, Glenna remained frozen in ce. Her gaze was nk, and she suddenly had a feeling that she had been targeting the wrong man. She thought, "My boyfriend shouldn''t be Todd, but Calvin. Why could Jocelyn know Calvin but I can''t?¡± Ever since she was a child, Glenna hadpared herself with Jocelyn, always trying to outdo her in every way. She didn''t want to lose to Jocelyn, so. now, a strong desire surged in her heart. She wanted to snatch Calvin away from Jocelyn. Glenna had wanted to take a sneak photo of Calvin just now, but she only caught a side photo of Jocelyn getting into the car. Even so, she believed that such a photo of Jocelyn getting into a limousine is enough to send shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Glenna was well aware that she couldn''t defeat Jocelyn on her own, but she knew that Theresa had more means tian her and nated Jocelyr even mere. Therefore, she was.sure that fshe sent the photo to Theresa, Ther¨¦sa would definitely deat with Jacelyn, while she didn''t Reed to take any action. Content ¡®Delongs to In the limousine, Jocelyn sat in the back seat, admiring the ruby in her hand. It was a polished stone crafted in the shape of a heart, with excellent glossiness and color. It was at least twenty carats in weight and of great value Jocelyn thought it was a surprise given to her by Calvin and said happily, "Mr. Austin, it must have cost you a lot! You''ve already given me a bracelet, so why did you give me a ruby as well? It''s too expensive!¡± Calvin cast a nce over at the sparkling ruby and then narrowed his eyes slightly. He could tell that Jocelyn was very fond of the red ruby. After all, her gaze had never left the ruby, and she had been smiling happily. Calvin''s face turned ck at that, and he said in an unhappy voice, "It wasn''t bought by me!" Jocelyn eximed in confusion, "What? Not you? Who could it be then?¡± She thought, "! really can¡¯t think of anyone else. Could it be Todd? But that''s not Todd''s style. When he gave me gifts before, he would do it in a very high profile instead of in such an anonymous way." Jocelyn opened the bag again and rummaged through it, but there was nothing in it. Finally, she found a small birthday card in the box containing the ruby. She opened it and saw a sentence written on it. It read, "Happy birthday, Jocelyn.¡± There was no signature on the birthday card, but Jocelyn was stunned, for the handwriting was familiar to her. Her memory was suddenly drawn back to four years ago. She recalled, ¡°After giving birth to the three little ones in the countryside, I sent away Billy and went abroad with the two other kids. As a neer to another country, I was targeted by some hooligans shortly after getting off the ne. They stole my wallet and even tried to harass me. At that critical moment, a man suddenly appeared and saved me. Afterwards, he offered me and my kids a ce to stay. The man was Kieran. I''ve been very grateful to him for saving me and selflessly helping me out of difficulties. During my years abroad, he even arranged for Katie to take care of me and my kids. However, two years ago, he suddenly left without saying anything, and we never met again. I thought I would never see him again in my life, but now I have news of him again. He still remembers my birthday and even sent me a gift. Does it mean he is now in Atdes?" Seeing Jocelyn staring at the birthday card in deep thought, Calvin asked, "Who gave it to you?¡± His voice was slightly angry. Apparently, he was hostile to the anonymous person who had sent the ruby. Jocelyn''s though Ss were enn back, and sh¨¦ shook her head. also want te teknow who gaveme this, but there i sno name on it. If its not yorthen I guess somebody~¡¯ must rave acrushonme. After all, it¡¯ sndrmal for a beautiful and¡¯ smart woman like me to have seme pursuers!" Calvin fell silent. He thought in speechlessness, "Does she know how narcissistic she is?¡± Jocelyn put the ruby back in the box, put it in the bag, and casually took out a small mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror and then said smugly, "Wow, what an adorable fairy!" Calvin was speechless again. Her level of narcissism shocked Calvin again. He had never seen a woman more narcissistic than her. Jocelyn ignored the despise of the man next to her. As narcissistic and heartless as she might seem, this was just a cover-up she used to hide her inner scars. No one knew what she had suffered, or how heartbroken she was. Her past had been so miserable that she dared not even look back upon it. If possible, Jocelyn really hoped to never touch those old wounds again in her lifetime. Jocelyn had a wonderful, memorable birthday, but Ernest had been having a hard time. After his affair with Theresa five years ago had been exposed, the scandal continued to ferment, andizens¡¯ curses were also rising. Ernest urged his public rtions team to take action, but it couldn''t cover up the scandal at all At the same time, he received a final confirmation call from the person in charge of the Ayrence market of Siumix, saying, "Mr. Cloutier, ourpany has decided, after discussion, to abandon Theresa. We are going to invite Jocelyn Murray to be our spokesperson in Atdes." Ernest thought that it was due to the influence of the scandal and hurriedly exined, "Mr. Scott, may I ask if youhave heard the rumors outside?Don''t believe them. They are all-sfanders with no evideng¨¦ h S opeyou will reconsider Theresa. shre-will soon be discharged; and she is better than Jocelyriin every way. She is a Star in films, dramas, and singing. Therefore, she has greater influence." Chapter 93 Good News for Jocelyn Chapter 93 Good News for Jocelyn Chapter 93 Good News for Jocelyn Leo said bluntly, "Yes, Mr. Cloutier. We are disgusted by your rtionship with Theresa, and we can''t trust you two. If it weren''t for Ms. Murray. we wouldn''t have even made this phone call to you.¡± "No, Mr. Scott. Please listen to me! Those are all deliberately fabricated scandals. and my rtionship with Theresa is proper..." Without waiting for Ernest to exin, Leo interrupted him directly, "Stop it. Mr. Cloutier. We are not interested in your private life. We just want Jocelyn to be our spokesperson now, okay?¡± Leo''s attitude and tone were very tough. After saying that, he hung up directly. At first, Leo was quite optimistic about Theresa, but after the scandal broke, his impression of Theresa plummeted to the bottom. At the same time, the top executive of hispany. Wells, had personally issued an order to make Jocelyn the spokesperson. Therefore, he could only execute Wells¡¯ decision. After making the decision, Siumix officially announced to the public that their spokesperson in Atdes was Jocelyn With the official announcement, Siumix''s choice was like casting a crucial vote of support for Jocelyn. Now Icehive Entertainment was in a very passive situation, and even if Ernest was very unhappy with it, he could do nothing about it He could only have someone get this done and issue a statement to the public, saying that Jocelyn was still a member of Icehive Entertainment and should continue to follow thepany''s arrangements. After reading thetest news, Veronica called Jocelyn again, and it finally got through this time. ¡°Hello?¡± Jocelyn''szy voice came from the other end of the phone. Veronica said, "Jocelyn, where did you gost night? I wanted to celebrate your birthday with you, but I couldn''t find you.¡± Jocelyn had turned off her phonest night in order to celebrate her birthday quietly. She didn''t mean to avoid Veronica. Jocelyn apologized while getting up, "I''m sorry. I turned off the phone earlyst night..." "It''s okay. You don''t have to apologize to me. Although it''s alreadyte, happy birthday to you." After a pause, Veronica continued, ¡°I''m calling to tell you some good news. Guess what it is?" "You are in love?" "No! Siumix chose you! Congrattions on sessfully securing Siumix''s endorsement, Jocelyn!" "Really? That''s great!" Jocelyn was thrilled to hear this news, for it came just in time. Veronica reminded her, "But you can''t be too happy so early. I guess Theresa won''t give up. Today, you have to go back to thepany to deal with the endorsement, and I also need to go back to terminate my contract. By the way, where are you now? Do you want me to pick you up?" It was too far for Veronica to go to Tundra to pick her up, so Jocelyn said, "No, you don''t need toe pick me up. Let me go to you! Wait for me!" After Jocelyn and Veronica had made the appointment, they rose at once and went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare to go out "Now that Siumix has chosen me, I''ll have a great opportunity to turn over. I will definitely make good use of this opportunity and make a beautiful comeback!" Jocelyn thought. In the president''s office, at Ilcehive Entertainment. Ernest again urged the PR team to resolve the scandal as quickly as possible, no matter in what way. Siumix had chosen a new spokesperson, but Ernest was not going to tell Theresa, fearing that she would be hit if she learned about it. He meant to tell her when he had settled the matter. However, even if he had no intention of telling Theresa, she already knew. After all, there was no such thing as a secret in this arena of advanced information. Lilly, Theresa''s agent, immediately informed Theresa of the news. After learning that Siumix had abandoned her and chosen Jocelyn, Theresa was extremely angry. She was not resigned to the fact. After being discharged from the hospital, she went straight back to thepany to find Ernest. ¡°Ernest, what the hell is going on? Didn''t Siumix choose me? It¡¯s cast in stone, isn¡¯t it? Why would they suddenly change their mind?" Faced with Theresa''s questioning, Ernest grabbed her shoulders and exined,.¡¯I''m sorry, Theresa. Siumix has named Jocelyn as their spokesperson, so there''s nothing I can Revs about it. Forget it! Giveup on Siamnix I''ll help you get a better efidorsement.¡± Content h¨¦tongs to SN Theresa shook his hands off and said reluctantly, "No! I just want Siumix!

They insisted on choosing Jocelyn instead of you, so my exnation did not work at all." Ernest showed a helpless expression. Over the years, he had done a lot for Theresa. giving her all the good resources. He had been wholeheartedly making Theresa famous, but every time, at the most critical moment. she would cause some trouble and then miss those important resources and opportunities.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. If it weren''t for her threatened miscarriage this time, there wouldn''t have been so much trouble. In fact, Theresa had outsmarted herself. If it had not been for her strong determination to frame Jocelyn, she would not have suffered the threatened miscarriage. Now, she was still pregnant, and she even lost an important opportunity because of it. Therefore, she really couldn''t ept it. She didn''t think she herself was the cause of the current situation. Instead, she med Jocelyn for everything Her heart swelled with hatred as she remembered that Jocelyn had taken away the endorsement that should have beenhers. I ¡®Ernest, it must be Jocelyn!¡®She must be the one who messed I it up! She must have slept withthe senior executives of Siumix befind our backs. O herwise, how would they give her the opportunity? She is just a has-been artist who is way less famous than me!" Theresa was well-versed in the hidden rules of the entertainment industry, thinking that everyone else was just like her. It had never urred to her that she was inferior to Jocelyn in professionalism. She firmly believed that Jocelyn had slept with the senior executives of Siumix to get the endorsement. Theresa felt more and more regretful, and she thought. "I really shouldn''t have conceived a child during the important period of my career, and now the child has be the biggest obstacle on my way forward. If I were not pregnant, how could Jocelyn have taken my endorsement away?¡± At the thought of this, Theresa was still not resigned to the fact. She said to Ernest, "Ernest, I can''t give up like this! Find a way to get the endorsement back for me! I just want Siumix! Help me get the endorsement back...¡± In order to get the endorsement back, Theresa made a huge fuss in the office and even threatened Ernest, saying, "If you don''t help me get the endorsement back, I''ll give up on the baby in my belly. I''ll kill myself as well as the baby!" Chapter 94 Jocelyn Would Be Utterly Discredited Chapter 94 Jocelyn Would Be Utterly Discredited Chapter 94 Jocelyn Would Be Utterly Discredited She made a move to hit herself in the stomach when Ernest clung te her and stopped her, "Theresa! Don''t think about doing anything stupid! Try to calm yourself! I''ll figure it out! Jocelyn will be hereter to deal with the endorsement, and I''ll talk to her about it when she gets here.¡± Ernest was very concerned about Theresa''s unborn baby because the elders of the Cloutier family really wanted a grandson. Ernest now was. counting on the baby in Theresa¡¯s stomach Just then, there was a knock on the door. They turned around simultaneously and saw Jocelyn and Veronica, who were radiant and standing at the doorway. Theresa was full of hatred at the sight of Jocelyn, pointed the finger at her, andshed out, ¡°Jocelyn, Veronica! It''s really you guys! How shameless of you to collude in stealing my endorsement!¡± Jocelyn''s eyes remained cool. "Your endorsement? Are you saying you''re the face of Siumix? But it has officially announced the spokesperson, who''s me.¡± "It was me, but the spokesman has changed. It''s you now. Can you honestly tell me you had nothing to do with it?" Theresa questioned "You think everyone uses the casting couch as much as you do?¡± A mocking smile brake on Jocelyn¡¯s lips. "You--" Seeing that they were about to have a fight. Ernest stopped them right in time, "Stop it. You both need to ease up a bit." Now that Jocelyn and Veronica were here together, Ernest asked Jocelyn toe into the office first. Holding back his anger, he said to Veronica, "Veronica, wait for a while out there. I''ll call you inter!" He wanted to talk to Veronicater. She betrayed thepany behind his back and screwed him over. He would settle the score with herter. Shutting the office door, Ernest said with a angry face, "Hmph, I honestly didn''t think you colluded with Veronica to do such a thing.¡± Since Veronica had never shown up before, spection about her can''t be confirmed. But now, seeing theye to the office together, he was pretty sure that this was all Jocelyn¡¯s revenge n, and Veronica was her aplice! Jocelyn walked in with no fear, snickering, ¡°Mr. Cloutier, don''t make it sound harsh. Please straighten out who''s behind all this. I just happened to run into Veronica on my way to the office. What is that gonna prove?¡± Jocelyn was not as simple-minded as she was five years ago. She was conceited and unruly, and her words were harsh. Behind her smiling eyes lurked the evil, which sent terror down Emest''s bones. Ernest dared not look at her and changed the subject. "Okay, let''s put that aside and talk about Siumix. Did you meet up with higher-ups of Siumix in secret? Why else would they choose you as the spokesperson?¡± His tone was questioning and aggressive. He thought that Jocelyn must have used shameful means to steal the endorsement from Theresa. Jocelyn knew that no matter what she said, she would have a tough time convincing them that she had not done what they were using her of. Because they wouldn''t believe her at all! Jocelyn''s lips curved into a smile, and she sneered, "Obviously, Siumix chose me because they are discerning. Rotten apples will never be favored." Theresa stared at her with hatred and red up at her sarcasm. "Jocelyn! Don''t you dare insult me? Does that justify stealing? Do you realize how shameless you are?¡± Theresa raised her hand to hit Jocelyn, but Jocelyn grabbed her wrist and said sternly, ¡°You want to hit me? Have you no shame? You set me up five years ago, and how many jobs did you take from me after that? You even made a name for yourself with the first song I recorded, didn''t you?" Jocelyn was a super popr star back then. She was bombarded with job offers, and resources were all given to her. She chose to join Icehive Entertainment, which would bring a lot of resources and connections to thepany itself. Originally, she was an artist for film and television. Ernest wanted her to be a singer at the same time and let her record a single called Starry Night. However, Jocelyn was set up by them before the song was released. The resources that were hers were given to Theresa, even including that song that was not released. That song was a triumph, and Theresa rose to stardom attracting a lot of fans. But the sess Theresa gained was built on the suffering of Jocelyn! Theresa was an outright predator! But she wouldn''t admit it. "Don''t talk nonsense! I didn''t plunder anything from you! Do you have proof that we set you up five years ago? Who would believe you even if the story gets out? Do you dare to tell anyone about this? Aren''t you afraid people will know that you were pregnant out of wedlock?¡± "Snap!" Theresa tried to deny what she had done to Jocelyn. She was a wretch, who was full of crap, and Jocelyn pped her mouth hard "How dare you hit me!" Theresa asked, covering her face and ring at Jocelyn "You deserve this.¡± Theresa was furious and pulled Ernest''s arm. ¡°Ernest! She hit me! How dare she punch me in the face! You get even with her and take her down a peg!" Ernest looked at Jocelyn but did not make a move, because Jocelyn was so intimidating and getting fierce. They were guilty of what happened back then. How could he hit her? Seeing Ernest''s wimpy look, Jocelyn felt contempt for him. She wanted to ask about her child. "Last time you said you would tell me about the child if I cooperated. Tell me now!" "But you didn''t cooperate then. You didn''t do what I told you." His subtext was that he would not tell her anything about the child because she didn''t listen to him. Ernest had asked her to apologize to Theresa and record a video of her apologizing. But she had humiliated Theresa in the ward. "What else do you want to know about the child?" Theresa knew what would break Jocelyn''s heart, and deliberately said. "Do you know that you will be disgraced if this news breaks out? You''ll never know the whereabouts of your child, because he is dead! He''s dead! Hahaha...¡± "Theresa!" Billy was the worst sore point in her life! She had always believed that Billy was still alive! How dare they even curse Billy for being dead? She couldn''t stand it anymore! She wanted to cut Theresa''s body into dozens of pieces when Ernest stepped in front of Theresa and said, ¡°Jocelyn, I didn''t call you back here today to start a fight! Let bygones be bygones for now. Let''s just get to the point.¡± She didn''t think it was the right ce to fight with Theresa. Jocelyn swallowed her anger and said, "Go ahead!" ¡°Jocelyn, you should know that Siumix''s end¨¦rsement is of special interest toy Wieresa, andthatis supposed t to be hers. You''d bettergo to the head of Siumix, offer to drop the etidorsement, and give it back to Ther¨¦sa. I can arrange other jobs for you if you want to stage a= comeback." Ernest''s speech sounded great, but Jocelyn knew that it was a warning to her. He meant that if she didn''t give the endorsement back to Theresa, it would be impossible for her to have a foothold in thepany and in the showbiz! But Jocelyn wasn''t intimidated by Ernest''s warning Thinking about everything she had lost, Jocelyn was so lost in hatred and revenge. She just wanted to give them a hard time She was going to take away what Theresa cared about! Jocelyn told them nonchntly, "Ernest, Theresa, you both listen carefully. I will not drop the endorsement. I''m taking it!" Jocelyn said aggressively, kicked open the office door, and walked out with her head held high. Theresa was so mad and said, ¡°Ernest. don''t spare her! Look how arrogant she''s gotten. She doesn''t give a sh*t about us! If she gets back on her feet with Siumix endorsement, she''s going to trod us underfoot! I can¡¯t swallow this sh*t anymore!" "Chill out. Be careful of hurting the baby." Ernest was also angry, but there was no better way to deal with Jocelyn Theresa was so furious. She thought of something-and said, "By the way, Ernest, whydon''t we break the news that she ahd Todd are dating? It would deflect some of the media: attention. We can even exploit her childysaying that she and Todd had achild out of wedlock. What do you think? This will bring disgface and ruin upon her!" Theresa was all about revenge. As long as she started to imagine Jocelyn would lose her reputation, she felt especially delighted. But Ernest rejected her ideas. "No! We can never-do that. Is Todd easy to mess wi be The Garner Group is connected to both the undergrounck world and the police force and has¡± the ba¨¦king of the Plexis Grougs if we offend 7 Todd, it will be onlya matter of time before he tries to bankrupt us or put us in jail! You have to remember never to get the Garner Group involved or offend Todd!" Theresa was furious. "What else can we do for revenge? Are we just going to sit there and wait for Jocelyn to kick my ass?" Ernest, in an effort to cheer her up, gritted his teeth and promised, "Alright, Theresa, just give me a little more time. Trust me. I have a way to get the endorsement back!" Only with this promise did Theresa stop crying. Even if Ernest could help her get the endorsement back, she would not let this go. The fight between her and Jocelyn was not over yet! Jocelyn, just wait and see! She would never let Jocelyn get away with this!N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. Ernest didn''t let Theresa run the story about Jocelyn and Todd. He had no objection to breaking someone else''s story. Theresa got a photo from Glenna, who had secretly taken a picture of Jocelyn on a date with her sugar daddy. If Theresa leaked this photo, Jocelyn would be utterly discredited! Chapter 95 She Didnt Like the Company at All Chapter 95 She Didn''t Like the Company at All Chapter 95 She Didn''t Like the Company at All Swallowing it all down, Theresa went out and got an assistant to deal with the photo. Ernest dialed the number and let Veronica in As Veronica walked into the president''s office, Ernest''s eyes ran over the calm woman. He really regretted not being cagey with her. He should have fired Veronica five years ago after he dealt with Jocelyn. If he had done so, he wouldn''t have gotten into difficult trouble because of her now. A woman having a very devious mind like her was calcting and dreadful That was his oversight! Ernest took a deep breath and spoke, "Veronica, do you know that thepany has always valued you? In the past few years, thepany has trained you into an independent ace agent from an unknown intern. Is this how you pay thepany back? Why did you betray thepany? How much did Jocelyn pay you?" When Ernest stared at her with threatening eyes, Veronica didn¡¯t even flinch and said graciously, "Mr. Cloutier, first of all, I am very grateful to the company for training me. Secondly, Jocelyn did not give me a penny. It was out of my own volition and had nothing to do with anyone else." Ernest heard this and pped the table angrily. ¡°Out of your own volition? How dare you! Do you have any idea how much damage your actions have done to thepany and to me personally? You have to bear legal responsibility, understand?" Veronica''s lips curved into a mocking smile, and she said courteously, "Mr. Cloutier, if I''m subject to legal consequences, what about you and Theresa? Did the things you had done not cause loss and harm to others? Aren''t you afraid of being punished by thew?" Ernest froze. Obviously, Veronica knew everything and was threatening him with what he had done to Jocelyn. Ernest knew very well that he couldn''t go against Veronica. He should get rid of her instead of leaving her in thepany. "That has nothing to do with this. Veronica, you listen carefully. I''m going to fire you in the name of the president! Did he think she was intimidated by that? Veronica sneered, "Mr. Cloutier, you don''t need to fire me! I''m leaving my job voluntarily!" She took out a letter of resignation from her handbag and put it in front of him. Ernest didn''t expect her to be prepared, and said in a huff. "Veronica, don''t forget that you''re under a contract to thepany. If you leave your job without my permission, you will be liable for breach of contract!" The more furious he was, the more gentle Veronica became. She said with a slight smile, "Mr. Cloutier, aren''t you getting a little forgetful? My contract expired yesterday. It''s a normal formality that I''m terminating my employment contract today. How can I be liable for this?¡± "You--" Ernest was fraught with rage for getting manipted by her. "Okay! Even if you depart your job legitimately, I can sue you for damaging the company''s interests and my personal reputation. And I can send you to jail!" "Let''s try it then!" Veronica wasn''t intimidated and said leisurely, ¡°I would like to ask you whe did grave harm to thepany''s interest.¡± "Mr. Cloutier, you can sue me all you want. Let''s see if you can send me to jail! ¡°After all, in all the years I''ve dedicated myself to my job, I''ve never done a single thing that was harmful to thepany.¡± "But you know well what you have done behind the directors¡¯ backs.¡± "If it gets out, you''ll get the brunt of public opinion before the court rules against you. Let''s see who will be disgraced in the end." "Mr. Cloutiera, I have some advice for you. You''d better think about how to get out of trouble in advance!¡± After Veronica said sonorously, she took graceful strides out of the room. Now she had no lingering attachment for Icehive Entertainment She had wanted to leave Icehive Entertainment long ago. Now that the contract waspleted, she was free Veronica was going to sign with a better agency. Until then, she would be with Jocelyn, who was fighting Icehive Entertainment. Veronica left. There was a tter in the president''s office. It was Ernest mming things on his desk to the floor. Ernest''s back was soaked with cold sweat. Veronica was right. If all the things he had done were exposed, the consequences were inconceivable. He didn''t tAink Veronica would be stupid enough togetherself. => screwed: Therefore, he would not get into. serious trouble for the time being His top priority was te-get the Siumix endorsemen back..Content b¨¦longs to ~ Jocelyn would sign with Siumix tomorrow, if he didn''t get it back. Ernest racked his brain about Jocelyn¡¯s weaknesses. He heard that the Murray family had disowned Jocelyn, so threatening her with the Murray family wouldn''t work. But there was one thing that she must care about most! Thinking of this, Ernest picked up the phone and asked his men to hurry up and get a job done If his men got this done, this problem would go away on its own! Jocelyn returned with nothing She came to thepany today to sign an endorsement deal, but thepany put it off and told her to go back and wait for further notice. Jocelyn''s gut told her that something was awry. It was possible that Ernest intervened in this and messed things up. The signing ceremony didn¡¯t start until tomorrow. She had no choice but to wait. When she left the office with Veronica, Veronica swiped thetest news and eximed, "Oh my God, what''s this? Jocelyn, look at the headlines!¡± "What is it?" Jocelyn clicked on headlines and logged onto it. The most popr, top-ranked headline was campy with an eye-catching picture. [Luxury cars are lined up in front of the Empire Hotel. The man is suspected to be Jocelyn''s sugar daddy.] She could have guessed from the headline that she was photographed leaving the hotelst night after celebrating her birthday.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Calvin was not in the picture, which only showed the profile of her stooping into a car. But the extended version of the top luxury car was the tip of the iceberg, capturing the world''s imagination In fact, a picture didn''t necessarily mean anything, but the descriptive text and picture were tempting. It made a big fuss that Jocelyn took the Siumix endorsement It was implicitly implied that she must have an affair with Siumix''s executive. It also implied that she won the endorsement by virtue of foul y. Once the news was released, many uninformedizens were a commeiiting on it. There were alot of trots and haters talking about the car and the identity of her sugar daddy. . Someone found out there were only five of these cars in the world. It was a super luxury limited edition, and its owner must be a big shot. After reading the news, Veronica couldn''t help, but ask curiously, ¡°Jocelyn, wie the hell is it? Didn''t . you tell meyou don''t have any bigs names.to back you up? See, it fkes in the fac¡¯ of what you said! You''re in trouble with the scandal at this csifical juncture. What if yeuir hard-earned endorsemeht vanishes?¡± Chapter 96 She Was a Little Flirt Chapter 96 She Was a Little Flirt Chapter 96 She Was a Little Flirt Knowing that Veronica was worried about her, Jocelyn stopped harboring secrets from her, saying honestly, "Veronica, I''ve been longing to tell you. He''s not my sugar papa but my husband." "What... What? Husband? When did you get married? I don''t even know that!" Jocelyn did a good job of keeping it secret. Veronica thought of a handsome guy, who was named Marcus, and he used to drive Jocelyn around. She guessed that Marcus was not working for an ordinary family since he was a well-trained full-time driver. Veronica was so surprised that she ventured a guess. "Could it be the person you''re talking about? Is it the guy who saved your life abroad back then? Is that why you married him?" "No, it''s not him." "Ah! Oh my God! Who the hell is it? You haven''t rushed off to marry a fucking old man in his 70s or 80s?" Veronica felt a little pity for her. Did she marry some rich old man just to get revenge? Jocelynughed and shook her head. "Oh, neither. Please don''t specte. He''s very young and awesome. My husband is not some lousy old man." "Then who is he? If you don''t tell me, I''ll never speak to you again. I thought you were my best friend." Veronica pretended to be angry. "Okay, I''ll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret." ¡°Certainly! Don''t you trust me?" "He is..." Jocelyn came closer and whispered in Veronica''s ear. After hearing that, Veronica jumped up in shock and hit her head on the roof of the car. "Oh my god, my head... I''m shocked...¡± She was so shocked! What had she just heard? It was unimaginable! Jocelyn had gotten married to Calvin, the richest man in the empire, some time ago after returning to the country. He was the legendary, mysterious, cold-faced King of Hell! God! How could she be able to get to such an awesome man? No wonder all the phones received news feeds immediately. It turned out that Mr. Austin had deep pockets and has resources! God! Veronica was so awed that she didn¡¯t know what to say. Jocelyn got out of her misery and married Calvin, the richest businessman in Glebey. Her luck just changed! Veronica was d and a little worried simultaneously. Thinking about the rumors about Mr. Austin, she weighed down with anxiety and said, "By the way, Jocelyn, I heard that Mr. Austin is ugly and has problems with sex. Is he what they say he is?" "Who said that? He''s good! He''s the most handsome man in the world." Jocelyn knew nothing about Calvin''s sexual prowess, but she still praised him in front of Veronica. Marcus, the driver in the front seat of the car, wanted to record what Ms. Austin said for Mr. Austin to hear. Veronica thought he couldn''t be trusted because he was handsome and wealthy. "He is the most handsome and richest man in the world. Jocelyn, what exactly does he see in you? Do you feel safe with him? What if he''s promiscuous?" "I feel so good! He has a strange disease. He''s allergic to women. he can not touch them. I don''t warry at all he will screw around. He gives me the security feeling.¡± "Allergic to women? That''s so weird. Then you guys... Will you never have sex? What a shocker. You''re only 24 years old. The best years of her life have just begun. How will you make it through your life?¡± Veronica finally figured out a little bit and was worried about Jocelyn¡¯s future. "Don''t worry. He''s allergic to other women but not to me. You have to trust me that I can cure him!" Seeing that Jocelyn was so confident, Veronica didn¡¯t say anything. No matter what, even if Mr. Austin was not good in bed, he was so powerful that he could be her rock. She won some and lost some. After the gossip, Veronica was most concerned about what to do with the scandal. "Alright, I''m gonna get out of the car and take care of this mess. If I can''t handle it, you go turn to your husband!" "Got it!¡± Jocelyn got the Austin family as her rock. Veronica felt more confident in show business. Even if Jocelyn couldn''t get a foothold in the entertainment industry, she could go back home and still have a better life than all A-list stars. Who didn''t want to end up marrying into a wealthy family? The Austin family was the richest family. Everyone in the world would kill to get acquainted with Mr. Austin, but unfortunately, they did not have the chance. Jocelyn was so lucky to marry him. Jocelyn wanted to take Calvin to lunch to thank him for all he did for her yesterday. She did not call him directly because she was afraid that he would refuse her. She was worried about finding an excuse to go to the Plexis Group. Now that the scandal was a good one, she asked Marcus to drive her back to the Plexis Group again. Jocelyn reappeared at the door of the president''s office. Calvin happened to be there. Jocelyn stood at the doorway. When she was about to knock at the door, she saw Calvin working at his desk. He was wearing a dark custom-made vest with a crisp white shirt underneath, and a pocket square pinned to his chest. He was particrly charming when he was so focused on work. He was good-looking. He was so hot! She was satisfied with him except for his temperament and disposition. "Knock, knock!" Jocelyn knocked gently on the door. Calvin raised his eyes and saw it was Jocelyn. He showed no surprise and kept writing as he asked, ¡°Why are you here again?¡± What did he mean by "again"? Was she not wee here? That was right. She was apparently not wee here! Calvin didn''t like to be disturbed, especially by women. when he was working! Jocelyn took off her mask and sunsses while strutting in, saying, ¡°Why can''t Ie? Is it illegal for me to visit my husband?" Jocelyn sat down on the sofa and rested her long legs on the side, looking extremely charming. "Mr. Austin, when do you get off work? Are you free at neon?¡± "What do you want with me?" Calvin nced at her curvy body and then ducked his head immediately. He thought she was a little flirt! She was messing with his head again! He was not in the mood to work when she was by his side. "What else-can I do? Of course, I''m here because I want to buy you ? lunch! Iawant to thank you for all you did for -mest night.

Jocelyn felt like she had a knife thrust into her heart. She wantectough and weep all at once. How could he be so dull? He even turned her down with the > excuse of being tied up when she asked him out to lunch. He deserved toche a single man! to¡° < Jocelyn was not down-hearted, saying, "Mr. Austin, a working man got to eat! Eating is very important. You just have to eat. Health is wealth!" "I''m not hungry.¡± Calvin refused again Pfft. He turned her down again! Jocelyn could not stand it anymore! He again made it clear that he would not eat with her, and Jocelyn had some blow. Jocelyn was embarrassing herself, but she believed that she could persuade him to change his mind. She was wondering how she could make him change his mind when her cell phone rang. She looked down and saw it was Todd. Oh no! Todd knew it was her birthday yesterday and wanted to celebrate itst night. But her phone was off yesterday. Todd must have been depressed when he couldn''t find her. Jocelyn was about to pick up the phone and apologize to Todd. Calvin kept his head down and was conflicted. Having refused her twice, he was waiting for Jocelyn to invite him again. He decided that if she invited him again, he would say yes. However, he heard Jocelyn say after a few seconds. "Hi, Todd." She called Todd sweetly. Calvin raised his eyes and found her talking to Todd on the phone, frowning Jocelyn was unaware of the change in Calvin''s face and continued to talk to Todd, "Oh, I''m sorry! My phone was offst night... Did you go to the Empire Hotel too?" Calvin didn''t know what Jocelyn was talking to Totld about. Jocelyn was excited and-smiling broadly. Thank you... thank you... Thank you for remembering my birthday... Yeah... Youwant to take me to lunch? Sure! I nvfreel¡¯ t to 4 Jocelyn wanted to invite Calvin for lunch in the first ce. However, he was too bound up in his work as a big boss and not hungry. She could only agree to have lunch with Todd. Todd had gone to the Murray family''s private room at Empire Hotelst night, but there was no sign of her. Therefore, she thought the meal should be her treat Jocelyn was about to decide where she was going to meet Todd, but her phone was snatched away. Calvin said rudely into the phone, "She''s not avable!" Calvin hung up the next second and threw the phone at Jocelyn, saying with a stern face, "Let''s go!" "Uh?" Calvin did it too fast But who was he to turn down her date and hang up on Todd? What was wrong with him?Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Calvin picked up his keys and strode to the door with his suit on his wrist. He looked back, saw her frozen in ce, and said, ¡°Aren''t you going to have lunch? Let''s go." ¡°Oh...¡± Jocelyn was speechless. He begrudgingly agreed to have lunch with her. Who was that guy think he was? Chapter 97 What He Did Is Unconscionable Chapter 97 What He Did Is Unconscionable Chapter 97 What He Did Is UnconscionableN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. In any case, it was Jocelyn who offered to invite Calvin to lunch. But now she had to put off Todd''s lunch invitation. She said in her mind that she was sorry for standing him up again! Anyway, she used to stand him up a lot. He wouldn''t mind if she blew him off again today, would he? Jocelyn jogged to catch up with Calvin, who had long legs, and got in the exclusive elevator. As they stood side by side in the elevator, Jocelyn couldn''t help but start gabbing, "Mr. Austin, why did you just hang up on Todd when I was on the phone with him? That''s rude." Calvin turned around, threw her up against the elevator wall, and lifted her up. "What''s wrong with hanging up on him? Do you have a problem with me lifting you up now?" He didn''t even settle the score with her. She ran into his office, and tantly flirted with other men, acting like he was visible. Her feet were off the ground, and Jocelyn was so anxious that she kicked her legs. "Hey, put me down! You bastard!" Calvin realized that he had got a little crazy. Irritation somehow surged over him. He let go of her and straightened his clothes. As her feet touched the ground, her heart started to race. Jocelyn pressed on her chest and red at him. God! She had never seen such a man like him. Amacho guy might only throw his lover up against the wall and kiss her. How dare Calvin be so violent? God damn it! Jocelyn literally thought Calvin must have had no prior romantic experience. Since he had never been in a rtionship, Jocelyn felt it was her duty to find this straight guy a date. She had to teach him how to hit on a girl in the first ce! Jocelyn tilted her head as her eyes fell on him. She pursed her lips and came to think of it before asking, "Tell me, Mr. Austin, do you know how to corner a girl to the wall and kiss her? And do you know what is Kabe-Don?" "..." Calvin knew this word, but he didn''t use it much. Why would she ask him that? Jocelyn pped her hands and said, "As I expected, you don''t even know this! Come on, I can teach you for free! I''m sure you are able to learn it." Jocelyn came up with it on the spur of the moment. When she leaned forward, Calvin subconsciously stepped back, trying to keep a distance from her. But Jocelyn didn''t give up, propped her hand against the wall, and pushed him to the corner. Because she was much shorter than him, she couldn''t quite get into the position and had to get as close as she could to him. "Mr. Austin... See? This is a Kabe-Don!" Calvin held his breath and subconsciously resisted being close to a woman. Then he averted his eyes. Jocelyn saw this and said, "Why don''t you look at me? How can you learn with an attitude like that?" Who said he didn''t know how to do it? Calvin suddenly whirled around and held her up against the elevator wall hard. Jocelyn''s back mmed into the wall, and she gasped. "Hiss..." This was killing her. Jocelyn hit the elevator wall so badly that she almost had internal bleeding! Pushing him away, Jocelyn gave him the stink eye, shook her head, and sighed, ¡°Mr. Austin. you''re so screwed! You''re damned! Do you know what''s wrong with you? It''s not that you''re allergic to women. It''s that you''re a romance killer! You have to change. I rmend you a book called To Nerds: How to Flirt with Women. You must read it! If you don''t read it, your life will be over!" Calvin, "..." For the first time in his life, someone regarded him as a romance killer. What the hell was that? Jocelyn didn¡¯t rmend it to him for her own sake, but because she felt sympathetic for him. He was aplete stranger to romance. If he didn''t change himself, he would never get the woman he liked. In the animal world, males like him would be among the first to go extinct. Jocelyn gave him the speech for a long time, but he just got his disapproving face on. She was like talking to a brick wall. They took the elevator down to the underground garage. Calvin ignored her and walked straight out Jocelyn made a gesture of throwing a punch behind him and made a face as she was following him out. She got into Calvin''s car. Calvin drove the car himself. Halfway there, Jocelyn''s cell phone rang. She lowered her head to check it out, and it was Ernest calling. Calvin heard her cell phone ringing and gave her a sidelong nce. He was displeased! If she dare flirt with other men in front of him, he wouldn''t let her off so easily! Jocelyn subconsciously nced at Calvin and saw that he kept a straight face. She was a little hesitant and wondered if she should answer the call in front of him. Was he going to grab her phone again? To be on the gafe side, Jocelyn asked for his\permission before answeringthe phone. "Mr. Austin, it''s the presitent of Icehive - Entertainment. He''s probably calling about work. It''s about the Siumix endorsement. Can I answerit?" That was a good attitude to have! Calvin nodded graciously, "You can take it!" Jocelyn got his permission and picked up the phone, "Hello?" When Jocelyn heard what Ernest said on the phone, she froze. She frowned, and her nerves were already stretched to breaking point. She couldn''t hold back and shouted at the phone, ¡°Ernest. you bastard! Don''t you dare mess up!" When she hung up. she was so furious that her chest heaved, and tears came to her eyes. Calvin caught a quick glimpse and saw her raise her hand and wipe away her tears. "What''s the matter? Why are you crying again?¡± Jocelyn wiped away her tears, grabbed Calvin''s arm, and begged, "Please, Mr. Austin, can you give me a ride to Eastern Suburbs Cemetery in Glebey?" Jocelyn didnot tell him why she wanted tago there. Calvin guessed that something had happened to her. He immediately turned the car around and drove up to Eastern Suburbs Cemetery. to¡° ¡° When the car arrived at Eastern Suburbs Cemetery, she got out of the car at once and ran to her mother''s grave. When she got close, she found her mother''sgrave had been dug up. The brieks and stones were tossed everywhere, The small sarcophagus in the grave was empty, andthe urn was gone. ¡° ¡°Mom... Seeing this, Jocelyn fell to her knees in front of her mother''s tombstone inconsbly. She could never have expected that Ernest would have someone to dig up her mother''s ashes. He would probably threaten her and ask her to return the Siumix endorsement! It was just an endorsement. Did he have to go this far? Jocelyn was ovee with grief. Her mother deserved to be at peace. She was so sorry this happened to her mother! It was more serious than a fight over an endorsement at this point. Ernest was a terrible asshole and broke Jocelyn''s heart. What he did was simply unconscionable! Chapter 98 How Dare You Dig Up My Familys Graves Chapter 98 How Dare You Dig Up My Family''s Graves Chapter 98 How Dare You Dig Up My Family''s Graves "Ernest! Go to hell! How dare you dig up my mother''s ashes! I won''t let you go--" Jocelyn was outraged and shouted at the sky, hate sweeping through her heart. Calvin stood by and looked at what was right in front of his nose through the narrow slits of his veiled eyes. He thought it was heinous of Ernest to do this. Calvin temporarily put aside what old grudges Ernest and Jocelyn had. He could not turn a blind eye to it just because Jocelyn had the samest name as Calvin. Calvin took out his phone and quietly sent a message to Craig. After a few moments of crying, Jocelyn wiped away her tears, and her eyes turned cold. She got up from the floor and left in a huff. Calvin snapped her wrist and asked, ¡°Jocelyn, what are you going to do?" There was a frosty look in Joselyn''s eyes, and her face was replete with animosity. With quivering lips, she said, "I want to go to Ernest! I''m going to get my mother''s ashes back!" Calvin took a deep breath and said, "On your own? Can you take it back single-handedly with your bare hands?" Jocelyn tumed to look at him, and her big eyes were filled with sadness. But she also had a determined look in her eyes and said, "I''m going whatever it takes! I''ll even take him down with me if I have to!¡± Her tears kept streaming down her cheeks. Jocelyn was so sad. Whenever she thought about her mother, who could not rest in peace because of her, she would feel remorse and get teary. She felt sorry for her mother... It was her fault that she brought this to her mom... Seeing her shedding tears, Calvin thought of something and handed his handkerchief to her. "Wipe your tears! You don''t have to risk your own life. I got a way to get it back for you." "What have you got?" Jocelyn looked up. her eyes misty with tears. Although she didn''t know what he got, she took somefort in that. "When dealing with scumbags, you have to resort to shadier ploys! Both crying and risking your own life are pointless!" Jocelyn was deeply saddened by what was right in the face. She was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point where she was going to fight Ernest to the death. Now that she calmed herself down, she supposed Calvin was right. Ernest lost his moralpass. Obviously, she should resort to shadier ploys to deal with such a viin! ¡°Come with me!" Calvin reached out to her. Jocelyn hesitated for a while before holding his hand. He took Jocelyn out of Eastern Suburbs Cemetery. She let him hold her hand the whole way and never broke his grip. As she was held by his warm, dry hand, she somehow felt relieved. She was not as frightened as she had been just now. They returned to the city, and Calvin took her to a luxurious restaurant for dinner. He ordered lots of delicious food, but Jocelyn refused to take even a mouthful of it When Calvin saw she wasn''t eating. he said in amanding tone, "Eat up! Otherwise, you won''t have the strength to deal with the scumbag.¡± Calvin was encouraging her. Jocelyn thought he was right when she got down te it. She would meet Ernest at two o''clock, and it would be tough for her to deal with him. Of course, she had to eat enough so that she would have the strength to take revenge! Under Calvin''s gaze. Jocelyn quietly ate all the food on her te. After a meal, Jocelyn checked the time, got up. and said, "Mr. Austin, I must be leaving. I''m meeting him at 2:00." ¡°Okay, Marcus is waiting for you downstairs.¡± Calvin got everything set up for her and asked Marcus to go with her. ¡°Thanks.¡± Jocelyn left the restaurant. Calvin watched her go, pondering Ernest had done something so evil. Calvin had a burning desire to take Icehive Entertainment down However, he has promised Jocelyn not to interfere with her life and ns. He just kept Ernest alive so that Jocelyn would get back at him as fiercely as she could. Jocelyn could wait till she staged aeback and was back on top before she came back at Ernest hard. Marcus drove Jocelyn to a secluded club in the city center. Jocelyn dressed herself up a little and walked into the club. She saw Ernest ying pool in the club''s pool room. Ernest used toe to this club to y pool five years ago. And Jocelyn used toe with him. She learned to y 9-ball here. He used his usual gold cue and shot the pool in the same position. But things had changed. Jocelyn resisted the urge to fight Ernest when she saw him. She red at him. "Ernest, I''m here! Give me back my mother''s ashes! You hear me?¡± Ernest turned a deaf ear to it and leisurely hit a red ball into the bottom pocket. After turning around, he sneered, "You''re scared. I told you not ta go against me! You force me to go this far!" Jocelyn didn¡¯t want to listen to his babbling. She only wanted to know where her mother''s ashes were. "I''ll ask you one more time. Where are my mother''s ashes?" Her hands at her side were clenched into fists, and she was so enraged that her body was shaking uncontrobly. Ernest was indifferent to it. He put down his cue, walked to the side of the table, and lifted up a ck cloth. "Don''t worry, your mother is fine!" Finally seeing her mother''s urn, Jocelyn nervously called out, "Give me back my mother''s ashes!" Ernest thought it was a good time to negotiate and Said, "I can return it to you, but there¡¯ s one thing I need you to do! Youreall Siumix and reject the endorsement. And let your besK> friendVeronica post an article to rify the affair, saying thatsyou roade this whole thing up-4''ll give you back the ashes if yotfdo what I say. Otherwise, if my hand slip..." Ernest held the urn in midair with both hands. pretending that he could let go at any moment "Wait!" Jocelyn called out distractedly as she pulled out her phone. A determined smile crossed the corners of Ernest''s lips. He was waiting for Jocelyn topromise. However, Jocelyn did not call Siumix and was nakas anxious as before. Her eyes fell on Ernest as she gavea ittle choftle. "Ernest, you have to todo this? lth give you onest chanee. Giveme the urn, and I''ll let you go wit dignity." a "Who are you to negotiate with me? Now that I have your mother''s urn, you have to do as I say!" Ernest found Jocelyn''s soft spot and said arrogantly.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Is that so? Not necessarily! I want to show you something. You may change your mind then." Jocelyn showed a confident smile. Ernest couldn''t figure out what she was up to. "What do you mean?¡± Jocelyn dialed Marcus''s number and said into the phone. ¡°Come in, all of you!" Ernest faked a smile and said, "I wouldn''t be afraid of you if you brought help!" He came prepared. Ernest held the urn in one hand and reached behind his waist with the other. He had made up his mind that he would not go easy on her if she dared get some help against him. Jocelyn folded her arms around her chest. After a while, Marcus walked in through the door with several bodyguards. Everyone was holding onto a box or a jar-shaped thing. And each of them was iid with a name and a photograph. Ernest couldn''t guess what Jocelyn was up to, questioning, ¡°Jocelyn, what the fuck is this?" Jocelyn tossed her hair, trying to be cool. Thete was a frosty and sarcastic look in her eyes. She.- smiled-a a grim smile, "Ernest, Im doing the same thing you di@? Take a goad look at what I''ve brought you." C¨¦ntent belongs to S i Ernest, ".. It was too far away for him to see what they were. Jocelyn pointed to the jars and introduced them, "Come here. This is your grandfather, Benjamin, your grandmother, Leah, your brother-inw, Joel, and your uncle, Zak..." "Mr. Cloutier, take a good look. How long has it been since you and your rtives got together? I brought them all to you today. Isn''t that nice of me?" Jocelyn smiled, but the smile didn''t touch her eyes. That was the shadier ploy Calvin told her to deal with such a viin! Only when she got into Marcus''s car did she know what Marcus and the other men were ordered to do Ernest froze when he saw the ashes of many rtives. He had not expected this when he was digging Jocelyn''s mother''s grave. Besides, she came for an appointment an hour after he called her. He wondered how they managed it in such a short time since the ashes of his rtives were buried in more than one cemetery. Ernest was not stupid and would not be easily fooled. ¡°Humph. whe do you think you''re fooling here? Those are not my family''s ashes at all. How could you dig up several graves in just one hour?" Jocelyn curled her lip and said, "Call your family to check at the management office if you don''t believe me. "I''m not going to fall for your bullshit! You''re trying to stall me. How can I be fooled by your little stunt?¡± Ernest thought she was lying to him and did not believe her. But his phone rang immediately. It was his mother on the line. She told him anxiously that his grandparents¡¯ graves had been dug up and their ashes had gone. Answering the call from his family, Ernest panicked. Was it true that the ashes she brought were his family''s? Did she dig up the graves of his family? "Jocelyn!" Ernest shouted in anger, ¡°I didn''t expect you to be more treacherous than I thought! I only dug up one of your mother''s ashes, but you dug up my whole family¡¯s?¡± "Mr. Cloutier, I told you that I would hit back harder.¡± Jocelyn lifted her chin, and her cold, dismissive eyes fell on him. "Listen up. You have two options.¡± Chapter 99 She Owed Him So Much Chapter 99 She Owed Him So Much Chapter 99 She Owed Him So Much ¡°Option one is, I trade your family¡¯s ashes for my mom''s. Option two is, if you reject the swap, how about we just smash all the urns? I''ll lose my mom''s ashes, and you''ll lose those of all your rtives! Do you think it¡¯s worth it?" With that, Jocelyn held up the urn of Benjamin''s ashes and acted like she was going to smash it. "Come on! Let''s smash them together!" "Don''t! Don''t do that!" Ernest was no longer audacious and stopped Jocelyn in panic. How the tables had turned. Ernest, who had the upper hand just now, was now at a clear disadvantage. ck-hearted as Ernest was, he dare not joke with the ashes of his rtives. He could only choose option one. "Fine! You win, Jocelyn! Now give me my family¡¯s ashes, and I''ll return your mom''s ashes to you!¡± Jocelyn asked Marcus to swap the ashes with Ernest. Finally, Jocelyn got her mother¡¯s urn back and held it in her arms with great heartache Jocelyn felt so sorry for her mom... It was her fault. She failed to protect her mom from being disturbed by Ernest. that scumbag. Jocelyn would not let him off easily! Jocelyn left with her mother''s ashes, leaving Marcus there to give Ernest a lesson. In fact, Calvin had told Marcus to give Ernest a lesson long before she went to an appointment. Calvin had gotten issues with Ernest for some time, and so did Marcus, who decided to kick Ernest''s ass severely. Ernest thought this was done after the swap, but shockingly. all the people Jocelyn brought with her didn''t leave at all. They looked fierce and closed in on him "What do you want? Don''t you dare touch me..." Ernest reached for his lower back, but before he could get his weapon, Marcus grabbed him by the wrist, backhanded him, and tossed him to the ground. "Back off... I''m warning you... Ah... Help..." The next moment, Marcus and his men rushed over to Ernest and gave him a savage beating. Ernest was beaten so badly that he couldn''t fight back. His face was all purple and swollen up with bruises. Two of his teeth were knocked out, and blood came up from inside him. Ernest was knocked unconscious when Marcus ordered them to stop. This was the consequence Ernest suffered after he messed with Ms. Austin! They did not take Ernest''s life but just gave the rascal a good beating ording to Mr. Austin''smand. Anyway, Ms. Austin would make him pay! Jocelyn walked out of the club and found Calvin''s car parked downstairs. He should be here to pick her up. After getting into the car, Jocelyn was full of so much gratitude to Calvin and thanked him with red, watery eyes. "Mr. Austin, thank you very much for today. Thank you so much!" Jocelyn bowed low to Calvin with gratitude. She had been extremely grateful to him from the bottom of her heart far the first time since she¡¯d met him. Calvin gave a lukewarm response. "It''s nothing.¡± This might be something trivial to him, but to Jocelyn, it was a huge problem. Calvin had some clever trick up his sleeve. If he hadn''t found a way to give Ernest a taste of his own medicine, it wouldn''t have been that easy for Jocelyn to get her mother¡¯s ashes back today. Jocelyn managed to get her mother''s ashes back and didn''t have to give up Siumix''s endorsement. And it was also really pleasant to see Ernest get beaten hard. Calvin didn''t want her thanks. However, Jocelyn was grateful to him and willing to give herself to him sexually. With her mother''s ashes back, Jocelyn wanted to go to the cemetery and give her mom a proper burial However, Calvin''s car did not go to Eastern Suburbs Cemetery but was parked at Dragon Mountain Cemetery. After getting out of the car, Jocelyn looked around and realized she was in the wrong ce. "Mr. Austin, this is not:the Eastern Suburbs . Cemetery. We''re in the wrong ce, aren''t we?" - "No." Calvin walked up to her, took her by the wrist, and lead her into the cemetery. Jocelyn was somewhat confused, but she Kaew about this cemetery, which was located on the best fot i in Dragon Mountain. Only families of highsocial status were eligilite to bury their loved ones here..Content b¨¦longs to ~ The cemetery was well-tended, and the ashes were safe to be buried there. There was no possibility of ashes being stolen Back then,-¡®her mother died, and Jocelyn wanted to bury her ashes in the best private cemetery. However, her father refused to pay for ittand she-eould only choose a conimon cemetery. .to - Calvin led Jocelyn to the best plot of the cemetery. She noticed that the grave had already been dug, and there was a new sarcophagus and anew stone tablet. Everything was ready. Jocelyn now just had to put her mother''s ashes in it. Seeing all of this, Jocelyn marveled. How could Calvin do so many things in such a short time? How on earth did he make it? That was deeply moving! Jocelyn was again moved to tears. She was lost for words as her eyes fell on Calvin.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. She didn''t want to owe Calvin any favor but was touched by him again and again. She owed him so much "Mr. Austin..." "What are you crying about? You look bad when you cry!" Calvin couldn''t stand it when she was mushy. A romantic man would certainly pull the tearful woman into his arms and soothe her. But Calvin was not a romantic. He turned around, stepped aside, and smoked his cigarette Marcus and Craig arrived with their men. Jocelyn put the urn into the sarcophagus and watched as they filled in the earth and restored the grave. Craig set up the fruit te, and Marcus handed Jocelyn flowers. Jocelyn knelt in front of the gravestone andid flowers at her mother''s grave. Jocelyn looked at her mother''s smile on the tombstone. She told her mom to rest in peace! No one would bother her mom anymore! After Jocelyn was done, Marcus and Craig bring bowed to her mother with all their men present. Calvin also walked forward to bow to Jocelyn¡¯s mother when he finished his cigarette As Calvin bowed to her mother, Jocelyn asked a question again in her mind. She asked her mom inwardly whether Calvin was good enough to be her son-inw. Calvin turned around and asked, "Is there anything else that you need?" "No, it''s all good." Jocelyn shook her head. "Mr. Austin, let''s go home!¡± On the way back, Jocelyn received a call from Veronica. "Jocelyn, where are you? Could youe and see me? I''d like to talk to you about endorsement tomorrow." "Okay, I''ll hurry back to town and meet you in a minute.¡± Chapter 100 She Seemed To Have Feelings for Calvin Chapter 100 She Seemed To Have Feelings for Calvin Chapter 100 She Seemed To Have Feelings for Calvin After ending the call, Jocelyn conferred with Calvin. "Mr. Austin, I''m going to see Veronicater and get ready to sign the contract tomorrow. Can you stop by Garden Road?" "Yeah." Calvin ordered the driver to go to Garden Road first. When Jocelyn reached her destination, she got out of the car and said to Calvin through the window, "Mr. Austin, I''ll stay over here tonight and not go back to Tundra. Please tell Mom and the kids that I''m sorry. Thanks!" Calvin was silent, and Jocelyn took it as his acquiescence. She waved at him before running into Garden Road After she scurried away, Calvin turned to look out the window. Not until she got out of his sight did the car drive away. On the way back to thepany. Calvin asked Craig. who was in the passenger seat, "Craig, how are you doing with Siumix¡¯s signing procedure and schedules I asked you to look up?¡± "I dug these up! I''ve confirmed with Mr. Wilson that the signing ceremony will be held tomorrow morning, and the flight is tomorrow afternoon.¡± Craig handed the file to him. "Hmm." Calvin nodded. He flipped through Siumix''s flow chart before he shut it and added. "Get me a book called To Nerds: How to Flirt with Women." "Yes... What?" Mr. Austin got some weird ideas. He changed the subject so abruptly that Craig couldn''t keep up with him. They were talking about the signing procedure, but howe Mr. Austin suddenly asked Craig to buy him a book? The point was that this book sounds ridiculous It didn¡¯t sound like a reference book. Could it be that Mr. Austin was interested in this book? Although Craig was a little appalled at Mr. Austin''s taste, he immediately searched the Inte for this funny book. At Pailworth Hospital. Ernest was taken to the emergency room. At present, he was out of danger and lying in the ward. Theresa, who was informed of this, rushed to the hospital to visit him. When she arrived at the ward, she saw Ernest''s face was bruised, and his arms were wrapped in gauze, as if he was a severely wounded soldier just coming from the line. She was heartbroken and asked, "Ernest, what happened? How did you end up like this?" "I''m sorry, Theresa. I failed to get your Siumix endorsement back. I almost got killed." Ernest''s mouth hurt as soon as he spoke. "Did Jocelyn do this? Did she beat you up like that?¡± Theresa asked angrily. "She... She got helpers... Just drop this.¡± Ernest shook his head painfully, took Theresa''s hand, and said, "Theresa, I need you to do something for me right now... You get PR to send out a press release on behalf of me and Icehive Entertainment. saying that it isn''t true that Jocelyn has a sugar daddy..." Emest talked a lot. and his face hurt badly. "Why?" Theresa had a hard time making up a scandal to discredit Jocelyn. But Ernest even asked her to clear it up for Jocelyn. That was thest thing she wanted! "Theresa, do what I say... Be quick... Or they won''t let me off the hook..." Ernest couldn''t forget what those guys had done to him yesterday. They asked Ernest to rify the affairs. If he didn''t do what they said, they would kill his entire family. He had to do what they told him in the end. Even though Theresa was loath to do that, the most important thing was to save Ernest''s life. She could only do as she was told and contact the PR department of Icehive Entertainment to rify Jocelyn¡¯s scandal. Soon, Icehive Entertainment officially stated that Jocelyn did not have a sugar daddy. That night was her birthday, and the Murray family held a party in Empire Hotel. That was why there were many luxury cars there. The rumer that she had a sugar daddy was just an unfounded spection. The news of rification broke out. Any mindful reporters would find out the Murray family indeed bought the whole ce to celebrate Jocelyn¡¯s birthday that night, if they went to the Empire Hotel to check it out. Another reporter reported the news of Leonard celebrating his daughter''s birthday, which coincided with the scandal. The rumer was rified in time, and it did not cause any damage to Jocelyn. Instead, it created an impression that Jocelyn was still the noble daughter of the respected Murray family. At Garden Road. Jocelyn came to Veronica''s ce. As soon as Veronica met her, she said, "Jocelyn, Mr. Austin is too powerful! Just a while back, Icehive Entertainment quashed rumors that you had a sugar daddy. That''s pretty impressive.¡± "Really? I didn''t tell him about it!" When did Calvin have someone to solve this problem? "He might not have wanted you to know. It is a piece of cake for him. He wanted to surprise you." Veronica fantasized. "I guess Mr. Austin must be a romantic!" Veronica was eager to meet Calvin in person. She wanted to know what kind of man he was and how he could win Jocelyn''s heart. Romantic? In Jocelyn¡¯s mind, Calvin was decidedly not romantic. But that was a romantic birthday night. She heard that it was his men who put up the party. Calvin did not contribute. "Actually, he''s not a romantic, but he¡¯s a really nice guy.¡± Jocelyn told Veronica what had happened today, and Veronica felt that it was exciting like a movie. To get Jocelyn''s mother''s ashes back, Calvin dug up the ashes of several members of the Cloutier family! He was such a badass! Veronica heard about Calvin''s shorings from Jocelyn, but no one was perfect. External things were not so important. What mattered was whether her lover cared for her. ¡°But our marriage is bound by an agreement. He doesn''t love me. and I avoid all future attempts at a rtionship.¡± Jocelyn told Veronica the truth that she got married for a personal reason, and it wasn''t because of love. What she suffered five years ago and the child she lost were just too much for her to get over. She was not mentally prepared to have real rtionships. After Veronica learned the inside story, she did think they could try to take it seriously.

Jocelyn, it''s rare to meet the rigt person, so rethink thes rPationship.¡± "I understand all that, but there are some things I can''t move past.¡± Jocelyn lowered her head and kept thinking about something that made her sad. Veronica took her hand and said encouragingly, "Jocelyn, look at me. Tell me why does the earth keep tuming? Why does the sun rise and set every day?" Jocelyn looked up at Veronica and did not speak. Veronica added, "Because time always moves forward. Life will always continue. The past is the . past. Live iy¡¯ the moment, not in the past. Yau should move on. Hate ls a part oflife, but it can''t be your. whole ife.. Otherwise, you will only.jdse roore. Don''t you care about those who care about you or thse who ike you?¡± How could Jocelyn not care about them? She was more appreciative of the people who cared about her because she had lost someone she loved. She cherished those around her who were friendly and sincere to her, and would treat them with kindness. Jocelyn had been encased in an outer tough shell and unwilling to open her heart. After Veronica broke it down for her, she realized something. Veronica was right that life would go on. Jocelyn¡¯s life should not be all about hate. She felt she owed it to her mother to make her life fantastic, which would also make her worth the ordeal she had been through "I get it, Veronica. Thank you for talking to me. I seem to have figured it out a bit." Jocelyn nodded seriously. An idea became deeply rooted in her mind. She said to Veronica, "You were right. Calvin is dependable and trustworthy. It''s him! I''ll try to get him before I get divorced!¡± If Calvin was the man she was destined to meet in her life, she might as well be brave enough to woo him and take the chance at happiness.

She probably wouldn''t have found a better man for her than Calvin! Although he was not a romantic andcked emotional intelligence, and thought she was annoying, everything he did deeply warmed her heart.

"It''s good that you''ve figured it out. Come on, Jocelyn, you can do it!" "I don''t really have any confidence.¡± This obtuse man gave Jocelyn a massive headache because he was different from ordinary guys and was ying hard to get. "It''s okay. You just have to follow three principles. First of all, don''t give up. Second, swallow your ego. Third, always stick to the second tip. You''ll get what you want in the end."
