Ma'am, The World Is Waiting For Your Divorce

Chapter 29

Howard turned around in rage. “D*mn it! Who dares to f*cking…”

He turned around and was met with the sight of Skyler Moore’s expressionless face. He instantly choked on his words.

Jocelyn started acting slightly unnaturally when she spotted Skyler. “You…why are you here?” Skyler glanced at Jocelyn and said curtly, “I’m here to eat!”

After speaking, he flung off Howard’s arm and took out his handkerchief from the pocket of his business suit. He wiped his fingers slowly as if there were some dirt on them.

An unpleasant expression appeared on Howard’s face.

Trei

The corners of Jocelyn’s lips twitched uncontrollably a few times. He threw his handkerchief into the rubbish bin and pulled Jocelyn behind him protectively. He raised his head lazily and glanced at Howard. “How do you know that I married Jocelyn?”

He caught sight of Howard and Jocelyn having an argument from the distance when he came over to have lunch. Howard was spouting terrible words with an evil expression on his face. He was also telling Jocelyn that he would expose her marriage with him.

Skyler simply found it funny that his marriage had become something that could be used as a threat to someone else! Howard looked at Skyler and immediately hesitated. “Lily…Lily White told me that!” Skyler narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, “Then do you think that I’ll be threatened by this incident?”

Howard looked at Skyler in a cowardly manner and remained silent.

Just then, Yale finally caught up with Skyler. He whispered in Skyler’s ear, “President Moore, Lily White tried to commit suicide earlier. She’s trending online because of this. She mentioned that she’s Miss Jocelyn’s biological sister. She also mentioned that she got tricked by Howard and she didn’t know that he was cheating on her. She was also oblivious to the plagiarism. She made everything sound like it made sense. She has won all the netizens’ sympathy now. They all think that Miss Jocelyn is cold and ruthless since she insists on forcing Lily to the brink of desperation. If everyone knows that about Miss Jocelyn being married to you, they’ll definitely think that Miss Jocelyn is abusing her power to bully Lily White!”

Skyler raised his brow and looked at him with an icy expression on his face. “Why didn’t you tell me about this previously?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Yale shrugged and spoke in a lowered voice, “Didn’t you tell me not to mention anything about Miss Jocelyn in front of you today?” Jocelyn glanced at Skyler in shock Skyler immediately recalled what he had said in the morning. An unnatural expression

appeared on his face. “Alright, I got it. I’ll handle this!”

After speaking, he glanced at Jocelyn and said, “You should continue eating!” Jocelyn glanced at him hesitantly. Skyler raised his brow. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to eat?”

Jocelyn immediately shook her head. “No!”

Skyler raised his eyelids lazily and cast a glance at her. “Continue eating then!” Jocelyn remained rooted to the spot stubbornly. She held her neck up high and said, “I won’t withdraw the charges!”

Skyler found it rather funny. “Who asked you to withdraw the charges? If you withdraw the charges, that will mean that Prosperity Jewelry is going against its word! I won’t allow something like that to happen!”

After hearing his words, Jocelyn let out a sigh of relief. Her gaze instantly lit up as she said, ” Thank you!”

After speaking, she smiled and turned around. She then ran toward the restaurant. Skyler was stunned. He seemed to have seen stars in Jocelyn’s eyes just now. Yale stole a glance at Skyler and said, “President Moore…”

Skyler returned to his senses. He glanced at Yale and moved his gaze onto Howard’s face. “If you want to protect Oasis Jewelry, come with me!”

Howard froze and followed after him at once. Jocelyn returned to the design department after having lunch. She realized that everyone in the department was silent. Nobody was discussing the topic that they had been talking about in the afternoon.

She raised her brow in shock. As soon as she sat down, Yvie walked over quietly and whispered, “Jocelyn, look at Twitter! The company released a statement!”. Jocelyn’s gaze flashed. She was slightly shocked. She opened Twitter and saw the statement that Prosperity Jewelry had just posted. @ProsperityJewelry : Prosperity Jewelry sympathizes with Miss Lily White’s condition after she attempted to commit suicide. However, plagiarism is unacceptable in the jewelry industry. Prosperity Jewelry will not withdraw their charges against Miss Lily White on behalf of Miss Jocelyn White! This statement must have been posted when Skyler found out about Lily’s suicide attempt. There were already thousands of comments beneath the post. The opinions of the netizens were mainly split into two groups. On one side, the netizens felt that the statement by Prosperity Jewelry made a lot of sense. Regardless of everything, plagiarism should not be accepted in any way. People should be punished for their wrongdoings. Even a child knew such things. Why did so many people not understand this logic?

Meanwhile, another side mentioned that Jocelyn White must have influenced Prosperity Jewelry’s decision not to withdraw their charges. Jocelyn White was the victim. She was not willing to forgive Lily, and she would only stop when Lily died.

Humans were emotional beings. The majority of netizens took Lily’s side due to their sympathy toward her. Besides, it seemed like some people were taking the lead in altering public opinion.

After a while, the topic, “Jocelyn White should withdraw charges now”, started trending online. Everyone seemed to view Jocelyn as an evil and ruthless person right now. They called her a heartless animal through the computer screen.

Although Jocelyn had prepared herself for it mentally a long time ago, she still felt extremely uncomfortable after seeing all these comments.

Jocelyn scrolled through Twitter for a while and got tired of it after a while. She then closed the application.

At the same time, Lily received a call from Howard. “Lily White, I’m at the hospital entrance right now. Come out. Let’s sign the divorce agreement!” Lily frowned and said, “I slit my wrist. I’m hospitalized right now. Don’t you know that?” Howard immediately cursed at her. “Did you slit your f*cking wrist or ankle?”
