Zayn sighed in exasperation. “The night before, a passerby sent Lynn to the hospital. It has been confirmed that she had been…gang-raped. She lost her child, but she isn’t willing to say anything regardless of what the police and doctors asked her. The next day, she was discharged when I headed to the hospital to visit her. I don’t know where she went to!”
There was an extremely unpleasant expression on Jocelyn’s face. She had not interacted much with Lynn other than the time she customized jewelry for her.
However, she could imagine what a disaster it would be for a woman to encounter something like that.
She could tell that Zayn was very worried about Lynn. Jocelyn knew Zayn’s personality well. Although he was cold to most people, he had an extremely kind heart. He was born with a sympathetic heart, which was characteristic of a doctor.
The Quirrel family had been exterminated after being split apart, and something like that had happened to Lynn. He must be extremely worried about her.
She pursed her lips and said, “Look for her. Otherwise, lodge a police report. She’s the only one left in the Quirrel family. If you manage to find her, comfort her!”
Zayn let out a hum in response, but he seemed to be rather distracted.
Jocelyn exchanged a few more words with him and hung up on the call. She hung up on the call and planned to return to the design department. However, just then, she received a call from Michael.
Jocelyn frowned and accepted the call.
Michael spoke to her in a warm tone that made Jocelyn feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Jocelyn, I was in a business meeting with some other people when you called me just now. Is there anything?” Jocelyn furrowed her brows and asked, “Howard and Lily have already married. When do you intend to give me my mother’s letter?”
Michael laughed drily and started acting clueless. “What letter?”
An unpleasant expression instantly appeared on Jocelyn’s face. “What do you mean? You threatened me using my mother’s letter previously and made me ask Skyler to let Lily join Prosperity Jewelry. Don’t tell me you forgot everything that you did in such a short period of time!”
Michael’s voice was extremely strained. It sounded like he wanted to throw a tantrum, but did not dare to do so.
He said, “However, you didn’t contribute anything to Lily and Howard’s marriage!” Jocelyn felt her blood surge to her head in rage. “When will you be willing to give me the
letter?!” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Michael thought about Skyler’s words. He pursed his lips and said, “About that…Jocelyn, let me tell you the truth. Don’t be angry!”
Jocelyn frowned as she suppressed the rage within her. “Say it!”
Michael spoke hesitantly, “Actually… I hired someone to fake your mother’s handwriting in the letter that you have right now and the pictures of the letter content that I sent you…”
Michael’s voice grew softer and softer. Jocelyn felt like ripping him into pieces. “What do you mean? Why would you lie to me when you don’t have a letter!”
She had had her mind set on getting her mother’s letter for such a long time. She had even withstood all of Michael’s threats.
However, Michael was now telling her that he had lied to her.
Jocelyn was so enraged that she felt like she was in a daze. “Why would you do that!”
Michael thought about Skyler’s face. He did not dare to yell at Jocelyn. He spoke weakly,” That’s all because…you weren’t willing to help me previously. I had no other choice!” Jocelyn was beyond angered. She gritted her teeth and told him, “Michael White, you deserve to die!”
After speaking, she hung up on the call straight away. She had never hated Michael as much as she hated him right now.
Ever since Michael told her about the letter, she had started thinking of it as the only thing that her mother had left for her before passing away. Everything was gone now!
Jocelyn’s eyes turned red. She raised her head and tried to stop the tears from spilling out. She rubbed her eyes, turned around, and returned to the design department.
Jocelyn was distracted the entire afternoon.
When it was almost lunch time, Davis came out of his office and said, “Miss White, head to the president’s office. President Moore said that one of our clients wants you to customize their jewelry!” Everyone in the design department had looks of admiration on their faces after hearing what Davis said.
Jocelyn glanced at Davis and nodded in a daze. She then got up and headed to the highest floor.
As soon as Jocelyn entered the president’s office, she saw Jim and Yvonne seated inside.
Yvonne was dressed in a tight-fitting gown, which accentuated her voluptuous figure. There was also exquisite makeup on her face.
She raised her chin slightly when she saw Jocelyn.
Jocelyn moved her gaze away emotionlessly. She acted as if she had not seen her at all.
Yvonne instantly clenched her hands into fists angrily.
Jocelyn looked at Skyler and said, “President Moore, I heard that you were looking for me!”
Skyler raised his eyes to glance at her. “Miss Rand wants you to help her design a necklace. Yale has printed the contract out. Both of you should take a look at it. You can sign it if there aren’t any problems.” Jocelyn frowned. To be honest, she did not feel like taking on this job.
Yvonne was not friendly toward her. Besides, they had argued during the Claude family’s dinner gala. She did not think that Yvonne would do any business that would benefit her. Skyler frowned slightly when he noticed that Jocelyn was silent. “What’s wrong? Do you not want this client?” Jocelyn’s gaze flashed. “President Moore, I didn’t mean that.” “What do you mean? Why aren’t you saying anything when I’m asking you to sign a contract? Jocelyn White, you do have the right to select your clients, but you need to have a valid reason before you reject your clients. Do you understand?!” Skyler stared at her purposefully.
