@ProsperityJewelryOfficial: After this plagiarism incident, whereby the official organizer of Starlight Jewelry Competition blacklisted designer Jocelyn White before carrying out a thorough investigation, Prosperity Jewelry has decided to ban all of the designers that have participated in Starlight Jewelry Competition from participating in Century Jewelry Competition. At the same time, they will not be eligible for employment in Prosperity Jewelry! Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
As soon as Prosperity Jewelry released its statement, the official account of Century Jewelry Competition shared the post immediately.
Jocelyn stared at the social media site in shock. Her voice was slightly dry as she asked, “This… Prosperity Jewelry posted this?”
Lexie spoke up in a clear voice, “They’re helping you!”
Jocelyn nodded repeatedly and said, “Of course, I know that. Century Jewelry Competition is one of the thresholds for a designer to enter the World Jewelry Competition. Prosperity Jewelry is the dream company of countless designers. Prosperity Jewelry’s statement has basically ruined all the future prospects of Starlight Jewelry Competition. It’s likely that this competition would not be able to be held anymore. It’s equivalent to receiving a ban in the entertainment industry!”
Lexie cast her a sideways glance and said, “I didn’t expect you to be able to see through things so clearly.”
Jocelyn laughed drily. She was not capable of seeing things clearly. She was in shock right now!
She really did not expect Skyler to be willing to help her go against the official organizer of the Starlight Jewelry Competition although he was angry at her.
Starlight Jewelry Competition mentioned that they would blacklist Jocelyn permanently as they wanted to butter up Lily, who was a rising star in the jewelry design industry. They must not have expected the plagiarism incident to turn into such a massive turnaround. Immediately after, Prosperity Jewelry had released a statement that went against the official organizer of the Starlight Jewelry Competition.
This was really…satisfying!
She did not expect Skyler to be so soft-hearted despite how stubborn he was! What a two-faced man!
Jocelyn smiled blankly at the laptop screen. Lexie poked her head and asked, “Have you become a fool? There’s something else!”
Jocelyn immediately shook her head and looked at Lexie with glimmering eyes. “What else is there?”
Lexie held the mouse and moved it. Jocelyn then saw a trending topic.
Trending topic: Prosperity Jewelry released three statements.
After clicking into the topic, she saw the screenshots posted by netizens. The first screenshot consisted of the statement that Prosperity Jewelry had made against the official organizer of the Starlight Jewelry Competition. The second screenshot consisted of a statement mentioning that Jocelyn White will be part of Prosperity Jewelry in the future. Besides, Prosperity Jewelry will bear the termination fees of Jocelyn’s contract with Oasis Jewelry. The third screenshot consisted of a statement mentioning that Prosperity Jewelry would be helping Jocelyn in her lawsuit. They would sue Lily White on her behalf for her infringement of Jocelyn’s rights in the past two years.
Emotions surged within Jocelyn as she looked through the content of these posts. She knew that these posts would not appear without Skyler’s authorization.
Complicated emotions filled Jocelyn’s heart. She had simply intended to take advantage of Skyler’s power to get rid of her father’s control over her. However, she did not expect Skyler to help her both openly and behind the scenes. He had helped her to perfect her revenge.
Lexie suddenly asked, “Why is Prosperity Jewelry helping you out so much?”
Jocelyn was stunned. She looked at Lexie in a daze. Finally, she decided to tell her the entire story.
Lexie narrowed her eyes and asked, “What’s his purpose of marrying you?”
Jocelyn felt slightly lost. “It should be…Perhaps…He probably thinks that I look alright. After his significant other stood him up, he was extremely angry. After that, he dragged me to get a marriage certificate with him.”
Lexie shook her head slowly and said, “No…I think that he might have fallen in love with you at first sight. Otherwise, if you were just a random woman that he married, why would he help you so much?”
Jocelyn was a little surprised. “That can’t be. Besides, I don’t believe in love at first sight. All such instances mean that one has ulterior motives toward someone else after seeing them!”
Lexie glanced at her and said, “Regardless of whether it’s love at first sight or he really does have ulterior motives toward you, he must have feelings for you!”
Lexie’s words confused Jocelyn. Was this really the case?
In the afternoon, Jocelyn received a call from Skyler as soon as she parted ways with Lexie. “Yale will go over to help you move later. Pack up your belongings right now!” “
Yale Ziegler was Skyler’s assistant.
Jocelyn was stunned. “Where am I moving to?”
Skyler asked in a sarcastic tone, “Do you want to keep staying in a hotel with me?”
Jocelyn immediately shook her head and said, “No!”
Skyler hummed lightly and said, “If you don’t want to live in a hotel, just do as I say!”
As soon as Skyler finished speaking, he hung up on the call.
After a while, she received a call from Yale. However, Jocelyn had returned to the White household on her own since he was still at the office of Prosperity Jewelry.
The house was completely empty when she arrived home. Jocelyn went upstairs to pack her belongings.
As she walked downstairs after packing her belongings, she saw her father, Michael White, staring at her with a heavy gaze.
Her stepmother, Yennis Lawson, and Lily White were both standing behind Michael.
Michael asked her, “What are you doing right now?”
