Reborn to Revenge

Chapter 54: He Had Been Ridiculous Since Childhood





Shortly after the photo incident, the Personnel Department of the Morrison Group suddenly issued a series of notifications, including the resignation of Carmen Bond.

All of the employees in the design department were talking about it at once.

"What's the matter? Isn't it said that Carmen will be promoted to vice director of design? Why does she resign?"

"Are there some secret details about the plagiarism?"

"Not really. Hasn't Semesta paid our company the copyright fee?"

"Don't guess. She seems to have changed her job. This time, because of the plagiarism, she has been famous. Other company hired her. Maybe the treatment is much better than ours."

"

Jocelyn also heard their gossips.

In fact, Carmen's departure was a good thing for everyone in the design department. The competition was so fierce that everyone would feel relaxed if there was one less opponent.

However, Jocelyn thought that the resignation of Carmen was caused deliberately by someone. And it was very possibly related to Arthur.

When she came home from work, Morrison family was rarely in the living room, even Nicola who was always not at home, was in the living room. After saying hello to them, she originally wanted to ask Arthur about it, but the servant stopped her.

"Young lady, in the afternoon, a young woman came and sent you an invitation card."

"Invitation card?" Jocelyn was stunned slightly and took the white invitation card. She opened it and walked towards the sofa. She just had a glance at the invitation card, then there was someone who snatched it very quickly.

Immediately, came out Julia's surprising and jealous voice in the living room.

"Did Mrs. Ruskin invite you to Nanshan Hot Spring Resort to join a wine banquet?"

The attention of the people in the living room was attracted by this sharp and high voice. As soon as Abner heard the name of Mrs. Ruskin, he looked very happy and put down the newspaper.

"That's a good thing. Mrs. Ruskin is well-connected in Yanjing. No matter in which industry, she has friends. The business this time was achieved with her help. You can't ignore this banquet and you have to go anyway. We still need her help in the future."

Jocelyn nodded obediently, "I know, Dad."

"What do you know?" Julia was obviously dissatisfied. She looked at Abner and said, "Dad, you also know her character. It's good that she didn't lose face in front of others. Mrs. Ruskin exclusively invited her to attend the banquet this time. There will be no one who can help her when something happens."

Her voice was not too loud and not too low, which was appropriately heard by all the people in the living room. And she completely didn't consider that Jocelyn would be embarrassed.

After Julia finished her speaking, Jocelyn was not angry but gently smiled.

"If Julia, you want to go, you can go with me."

Julia was apparently stunned, but still was arrogant.

"What relation does it have to me? I was not invited."

"Unfortunately, Arthur will not accompany me to attend this kind of occasion. I have few chances to attend this kind of occasion. If I'm really as nervous and stupid as Julia said, it will be terrible."

On hearing this, Julia was obviously complacent, but she nodded reluctantly.

"If that's the case, I'll go with you, lest you make the Morrison family lose face."

There was a sneer coming out beside.

"What are you laughing at?" Julia glared at Nicola with dissatisfaction.

"Laugh at you. You obviously want to go, but you have to find some grand excuse to tease the person who takes you out. If you really go there, I think it is more likely for you to lose face!"

"What did you say?" Julia was extremely angry.

"Well, what are you quarreling about?" Selena finally couldn't bear it and directly reprimanded Nicola in front of all the people.

"How do you talk to your sister? You only know hanging around all day. Now your sister is going there for a dinner. Are you teasing her? I don't think there is any room for you in this house."

"I don't mean that," Nicola looked at Jocelyn with his complicated eyes and muttered, "I just can't bear to see my sister bullying others all day. After all, Jocelyn has married with Arthur. We are family."

Hearing this, Jocelyn was stiff.

Did Nicola think the situation was not chaotic enough? Did he think that he was helping her?

Sure enough, Selena looked back and forth between them for several times. She looked grim, "Can you directly call her name, Jocelyn? She's your sister-in-law."

Nicola shrugged indifferently, "I'm used to call her that."

"What?" Selena usually did not pay attention to how Nicola called Jocelyn. When she heard this, she remembered something. Immediately, she looked grim, but considering that her son, daughter and husband were all at present, she had to restrain herself.

Nicola was also very wise so he went out to answer the phone and never came back.

Selena was extremely angry and she could only ventilate her anger on Jocelyn. Then she warned euphemistically, "Shouldn't you need me to tell you that you have to keep a distance with other men?"

Jocelyn pretended to be foolish and stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

"That means you should keep away from Nicola."

She said that in a deliberately low voice, which could only be heard by Jocelyn, Julia and herself.

Before Jocelyn could say something, Julia beside her hummed and said in a very disdainful tone.

"Nicola himself is ridiculous. It is no use for you to blame others, Mom. Why don't you take more time to take good care of Nicola? He was ridiculous from childhood. You can't blame others for all the ridiculous things he does in his life? If you still indulge him to be like this, others will think that he is not the member of Morrison family.

Selena was speechless.

Jocelyn, however, found that she looked unnatural.

Especially when Julia mentioned that Nicola was not the member of Morrison family, Selena apparently looked at Abner nervously, who was reading the newspaper.

If she was not guilty, she would not look at her husband in that kind of cautious eyes.

Two days later, it was the day mentioned in Mrs. Ruskin's invitation card.

The driver sent Jocelyn and Julia to Nanshan Hot Spring Resort and the wine banquet was held in the hotel of the mountain villa.

As soon as they arrived, Jocelyn was shocked to see a familiar figure from a long distance. She couldn't help being excited. "Antony also comes here."

Julia almost couldn't wait to go forward, but she suddenly thought of something and stopped. She arrogantly turned around and walked towards the opposite direction.

Jocelyn didn't want to interfere her matter. She didn't say anything and followed Julia to walk towards the opposite direction.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. There is a person over there I don't want to see."

"Who? Do I know the person?"

Julia was reluctant to explain, "You don't know."

As soon as she finished her speaking, a familiar voice came from behind them, "Jocelyn? I have guessed whether it is you from a distance. It is really you. why are you here?"novelbin

She really didn't want to meet him and she tried her best to avoid him. But Antony just came up to greet her voluntarily in front of Julia. Did he think that she was living a too relaxing life in Morrison family?
