Chapter 198
Jocelyn raised her eyebrow. Suddenly, she understood where this person’s relentless courage came
from.
On closer look, this profile picture and display name really matched Skyler’s characteristic style.
She accepted his follow request at once. She then followed his account as well.
She had just accepted his request when Skyler sent her a message on Instagram. He sent over a smiling
emoji.
Jocelyn was rather speechless.
Jocelyn: (President Moore, are you mocking me?]
Skyler: [Since when have I mocked you?]
Jocelyn: President M
: (President Moore, are you an alien? The smiling emoji that you sent over is usually used when one is
being sarcastic. Do you get it?] Skyler: [… I didn’t know that!)
Jocelyn: (I get it. After all, you just found out about the internet recently!
In the president’s office, Skyler could not help but burst out into laughter after reading this text.
Suddenly, he realized that Jocelyn was a little… different from usual when she was online. She was quite
funny! She was more humorous when talking as well!
Jocelyn had just finished texting Skyler when she realized that she had been added to a group.
Group name: The Fantastic Four.
The group had four members: Jocelyn, Lexie, Skyler, and Jim.
Jim was the one who created this group.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as Jim created the group, he sent over a bunch of emojis.
Jim: (Hello, everyone!)
As soon as he sent this text over, a line of small words showed up.
Lexie had left the group.
Jocelyn knew that Lexie was not in a good mood. She did not want to bother Jim.
She glanced at it and left the group as well. Skyler and Jim were the only ones left in the group.
Jim: (Skyler, your wife and her best friend isn’t showing me any respect at all!)
Skyler: (Do people ever show you respect?] Skyler: [You should continue entertaining yourself!]
After Skyler sent the text over, Jim noticed that Skyler had left the group.
Jim was the only one left in the group right now! Jim was speechless. What kind of people were these?
This was not fun at all!
Skyler left the group and sent a private message to his wife.
Skyler: (Let’s have dinner together tonight!)
Jocelyn: (I’m sorry, I have plans tonight!) Skyler: (What plans do you have? I’ve already told my brother
that I’ll be introducing you to him!) Jocelyn: (Thank you, President Moore! However, I really have plans
tonight! I can’t come with you!) Skyler: (Do as you wish!]
After reading his text, Jocelyn knew that he was unhappy again.
Jocelyn could not help but frown and type out a text in exasperation. She tried her best to explain
everything nicely.
Jocelyn: (I really can’t make it tonight! My friend just went through a breakup! She’s not in a good mood. I
promised her that I’ll have a drink with her tonight. President Moore, I understand your good intentions.
We can have a meal together in the future!]
Skyler’s mood improved greatly after reading her text He replied to her immediately. Skyler: (Alright, I’ll
arrange for another day!] Skyler: (Don’t… drink so much!) Jocelyn: (Yes, I’ll keep that in mind!) After
reaching a compromise with Skyler, Jocelyn started working. After work in the evening.
Jocelyn ate some food with Lexie. Lexie had a terrible appetite.
Jocelyn did not farce her to eat either. After having some bites, they headed to Abel’s new bar in Lexie’s
car.
On the way, Walter called Jocelyn. Jocelyn was driving. She glanced at Lexie, who had her eyes
lowered. She seemed to be extremely down. Jocelyn rejected the call at once. However, Walter
continued calling her persistently.
Jocelyn massaged her forehead and accepted the call. Her voice was rather tired. “Walt, I’m busy right
now. Is there anything?” Walter’s voice was extremely gentle. He smiled faintly as he said, “It’s nothing
much. I just wanted to treat you to a meal tonight. Is that alright, Jo?” Jocelyn rejected his offer without
thinking twice. “No, I have plans tonight!”
Walter sounded rather down. “Are you… with your boyfriend?”
Jocelyn shook her head and said, “No, I’m with Lexie!”
Walter seemed to let out a sigh of relief. “I see. In that case, you should accompany your friend. Let’s
have a meal together when we have time. It seems like I’m fated to be alone tonight. I had plans to have
dinner with my younger brother, but he stood me up. You can’t eat with me either!”
There was an uncharacteristic grumble in Walter’s voice.
Jocelyn’s gaze flashed.
She remembered Walter’s younger brother. Walter had once told her that his brother was a cold and
handsome young man.
She frowned and suggested, “If you don’t want to be alone, you can invite Miss Sonnet to have dinner
with you!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWalter held his breath and his voice stiffened. “Are you still upset over what happened back then?”
Jocelyn’s voice was emotionless. “You’re overthinking. I just felt that Miss Sonnet is a pretty good choice!
I’m busy now. I’ll contact you when I’m free!” After speaking, Jocelyn hung up on the call. Lexie would
usually show some concern if something happened between her and Walter. However, she did not say
anything. She simply sat in the car silently. It was as if she was detached from the world.
They finally arrived at Abel’s bar.
Jocelyn glanced at the name of the bar. It was called Crain’s Bar.
As soon as both of them walked into the bar, Abel laughed and greeted them. “Lil Sis, you and your
friend can drink as much as you want. Everything is free of charge!” Just then, one of Abel’s friends
interrupted. “Abel, you’re a disloyal friend. The pretty girls can eat for free, but why do we all have to pay
half the price for everything?”
Abel turned around and glared at him. “You’ll know if you look at yourself in the mirror. Are you as good-
looking as Lil Sis?” His friend laughed out loud at once! Abel led Jocelyn and Lexie to a seat in the
corner and started working. Lexie remained silent the entire night. She kept drinking nonstop.
Jocelyn did not stop her either. She simply accompanied her silently. Jocelyn did not drink any alcohol.
Lexie was drunk. She had to be sober so that she could look after Lexie.
Around 9 o’clock at night.
Lexie went to the washroom after drinking a lot. She did not return for a long time.
Jocelyn got up. She wanted to head to the washroom to take a look.
However, when she walked to the corridor of the toilet, she suddenly saw two men lifting a man. They
walked toward the back door of the bar in a hurry.
Jocelyn’s pupils constricted slightly. She was pondering about what to do when she suddenly noticed the
purple gem-studded earring on the person being lifted. The purple light reflected off the earring
glimmered in the corridor.
