Chapter 184
Skyler slowly took the phone a little further away, a trace of impatience flashed across his eyebrows.
“What do you want?”
Josie’s voice sounded angry and aggrieved. “Fiona meant something to me, how can you treat her like
that? What heinous thing did she do? Do you need to cut off her hands like this? She won’t be able to
hold a paintbrush in her life anymore!”
Skyler completely ignored her anger and said indifferently, “It’s her fault so she can’t blame anyone
else.”
She hurt Jocelyn, so it was more than heinous. He almost lost Jocelyn from the anaphylactic shock. So,
this was lenient by his standards. Skyler’s attitude was a huge blow to Josie.
Her voice dropped and she said with deep sadness, “Skyler, you’ve changed. Since you got the marriage
certificate with Jocelyn, you’ve turned into such a stranger to me.”
After he heard Josie mentioning Jocelyn, Skyler’s expression turned completely cold, “This has nothing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto do with her. Fiona is jealous of her and wants to take action against her, so I just let Fiona get what
she deserves. Josie, you know my bottom line, don’t make me despise you.”
Josie took a breath. “Skyler, don’t say that, I didn’t mean to provoke you. Fiona and I were friends after
all. Aren’t you slapping me across the face by doing that?” Skyler looked indifferent. “You have been
abroad for more than a month, what face am I slapping?”
Josie was silent.
She did not speak, and Skyler’s voice sounded impatient. “I’ll hang up first.”
“Wait!” Josie raised her voice suddenly. “Skyler, I read on the Internet that Jocelyn looks a bit like me,
right?”
Skyler frowned. “It’s all nonsense!”
Josie sounded a little stubborn. “But she does look like me, at least from her pictures, Skyler, are you
treating her like a replacement for me? If not, I can come back now and you can break up with her,
okay?” Skyler’s voice turned cold immediately, and it was laced with intense anger and warning,” Josie!”
His expression looked very off-colored. “Don’t let me hear something like this ever again, if not, I won’t go
easy on you. Also, Jocelyn is Jocelyn and she’s nobody’s replacement.”
Josie could not believe that Skyler would be impressed by another woman in such a short period.
Her voice was a little hysterical. “But it’s an indisputable fact that she looks like me!”
Skyler just hung up the phone, refusing to listen to her nonsense anymore. He looked sullen and he
massaged his eyebrows tiredly. Back then, if Josie did not get into an accident for the newly established
company, he would not be with her because he wanted to take responsibility. Six years ago, he had a
good relationship with Abel.
The Crain family was in the jewelry business, and Skyler had just established a foothold in the jewelry
industry. Although Abel was a bit of a scoundrel, he was also like-minded with Skyler. Hence, the two hit
it off and became friends.
Back then, Dean, Abel’s eldest brother, was interested in Josie when he first started interacting with her.
Abel would treat Josie like she was his sister-in-law.
One time, Skyler needed to take care of something at the last minute, so he asked Josie to negotiate
something on his behalf.
As a result, Dean’s buddy acted on their initiative and drugged Josie to put her in Dean’s bed.
If that was just the case, there might be room for recovery. However, that guy was too impulsive so not
only did he drink the drugged wine, but he also gave it to Dean. That night, the three of them got together
in a state of confusion. After that, Dean was enraged, and he wanted to send his friend to the police. In
the end, the two got into an accident on the way to the police station and died. At the same time, Josie
lost all hope and she only wanted to die. Hence, she decided to commit suicide.
Before she died, she confessed her feelings for Skyler and said that she did not dare to like Skyler
anymore after what happened. Initially, Skyler should be the one going to the negotiation, but Josie went
for him at the last minute and got into trouble. Hence, Skyler could not forgive himself. Plus, in order to
calm Josie down after what happened to her, Skyler agreed to stay with her, and he said he would not
mind what happened. He also comforted her that she did not intend for this to happen.
When Josie and Skyler showed up in front of others, they were already a couple.
