Chapter 161

Just then, Lexie finally realized that she should not be discussing this topic in front of Davis. A regretful expression appeared on her face. On the other hand, Jocelyn did not mind. She took the initiative to explain things to Davis.” This is Walter’s fiancée. We met a few times while we were in university!” 

Davis’s gaze darkened when she mentioned Walter. He did not ask any more questions. However, he recalled another thing. “Jocelyn, we’ll be leaving for Greene City for the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition, right?” Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes, is there any problem with that?” Daviš shook his head and said, “There isn’t much of a problem. However, I heard that Walter would be coming back on that day!” Jocelyn’s expression changed. Finally, she asked softly, “Really?” 

Davis immediately changed the topic and brought up something else when he noticed that Jocelyn was not in high spirits. 

Jocelyn did not look for Skyler from the beginning to the end of tonight’s gathering. That was because Rhode Ginn had been sitting beside him all along. She helped him to fill up his glass of liquor as well. She seemed extremely kind and understanding. Halfway through the gathering, some people in the hall started whispering among each other. Although Rhode had a gentle and meek demeanor, she was rather capable. She actually managed to get on the good side of someone like Skyler. 

Jocelyn knew that Jim was the one who organized tonight’s gathering after her call with Skyler in the afternoon. Before leaving, she went over to greet Jim. 

However, Jim had his arm wrapped around a young internet influencer. He let go of her immediately when he saw Jocelyn and the others making their way over. He cast a glance at Lexie instinctively as well. 

Jocelyn did not pay him any mind. Meanwhile, Lexie did not notice Jim’s actions at all. All of her attention was on Davis. 

Jim recalled his own behavior after watching them leave. He felt rather depressed. He was a fool. Why did he have to feel afraid?! 

Skyler noticed that Jocelyn had left as soon as she walked out. Somehow, his heart filled with rage when he saw her greeting Jim without even bothering to acknowledge him. 

He stood up as soon as Jocelyn walked out. It seemed like he was going to leave. 

Rhode widened her eyes. Her eyes were watery as she asked, “President Moore, are you leaving?” 

She finally knew about Skyler’s identity. After finding out about his status and position, she wanted to try her best to make him fall for her.
