Chapter 176 In the dark 

Skyler fell over and collapsed onto Jocelyn’s body, the both of them colliding into the wall behind them. Jocelyn could hear Skyler’s groaning as he tried to hold back the pain. 

He used his body as a shield. The faint smell of mint filled Jocelyn’s nostrils as tears trickled down her face. 

Jocelyn was panicking. She did not know that she could sound this anxious. “Are you okay, Skyler? What’s the matter with you?” 

She did not know how deep the cut Giada made was and she could not stop her tears from flowing down her cheeks. 

Giada did not expect this to happen. The knife in her hand clattered to the ground in an instant. 

She was so shocked that her voice cracked. “Skyler!” 

She took a step back in panic, a sob rising in her throat. Her tone was hysterical and confused as she spoke, “No…it wasn’t me! I didn’t mean it! Why did you jump in front of her?” 

She did not understand why things had ended up this way. She liked him so much, yet she was the one who hurt him. 

Skyler endured his pain and was about to negotiate with Draco. 

He knew better than Giada that at that moment, Draco wanted all of them to stay there. 

Money made the world turn. 

He was sure that if he could pay enough money and promise not to pursue this matter, a person like Draco would certainly release him and Jocelyn willingly.
