Chapter 177 

Lexie glanced at Jocelyn. She sounded upset as she spoke. “Yes, he said that to me in front of Yuni Shaw.” 

Jocelyn’s expression fell. No wonder Lexie looked so sad. A situation like this would only embarrass Lexie further. She reached out and hugged Lexie tightly. She did not say a word. During the day, Jocelyn kept Lexie company. At night, she was notified that the results of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition would be announced at 10 a.m. the next day. A banquet would be specially held at May First Hotel, and all the participants and designers were invited. Jocelyn responded.
