Allen didn't bother to pay attention to her, his gaze softly fell on Jocelyn, "Jocelyn, go up and rest, by the way, I have transferred the five percent of Gloria's shares to your name."
"Okay, thanks, Dad." With those words, Jocelyn smiled, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Allen on the cheek, before dragging her tired body upstairs.
Allen once again gave the two a cold glare before storming upstairs in anger.
"If we let Jocelyn continue to shine, the Murphy family's estate will really become hers!" Gloria looked flustered.
"So, we have to give her a harsh lesson." Sara's eyes were suddenly full of calculations.
"What have you investigated?" Sara asked.
"I'm still looking into it."
...
"Mr. Mason, this is the invoice for the house Mr. Mccall, Mr. Walsh and Mr. Moore bought today."
In front of the high-end rosewood desk where documents were piled up, Noah slowly raised his head and his gaze coolly fell on Tom's face.
Tom pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, before quickly placing a large pile of invoices on the desk.
"Why are you giving me this?" The words fell, and Noah frowned slightly.
"Probably to prove to you that they really bought the houses." Tom responded respectfully.
"Throw it away." He said indifferently.
Tom nodded respectfully, "Yes."
"This is the contract for the purchase of the property on our side as well as the invoice, please have a look." With that, Tom placed a thick red folder in front of Noah.
"Got it, go out."
With those words, Noah then placed his gaze on the mobile phone screen, the report on the news of the opening of the Faraday Apartments.
Seeing the end, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up into a very small arc, the bottom of his eyes were full of praise.
The city lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him were glorious, the blinding lights shaking the city of the sea in all its glory.
Even better scenery was always worthy of being a background when it came to him.
...
After a tiring day, Jocelyn comfortably took a hot bath in the huge bathtub and put on a face mask.
After that, she sat on the bed, picked up her phone and opened WeChat.
Her eyes subconsciously landed on her chat page with Noah, but the message sending time was still stuck, when she had asked him for his account number earlier.
After such a long time, he had not given her any response.
She couldn't help but murmur, "That's a weird man."
Immediately after that, she sent another message to him "Account number, please."
There was still no response from him.
Jocelyn frowned slightly, thinking, "Aren't all people who owe money arrogant? Why he is different?
She was the one who owed money, but she had to keep chasing after her debtor to demand repayment? Did this person have a grudge against money?
After thinking about it in her mind, she sent another message to him, "Hello, are you there?"
About five minutes later, Noah replied, "No need."
Jocelyn was upset and immediately asked in her voice, "Why? Didn't we agree before?"
"Half a million is what you gave me." There was a text back immediately afterwards.
"That's the hush money I gave you." Jocelyn sent back a text.
She always felt that Jocelyn might have been hiding something, so she looked for someone to investigate.
"Yes, but I don't know if it's considered shamed past." The other side said again.
"What is it?" Gloria's eyes began to glow, filled with anticipation.
"I found out that Jocelyn got married while she was in Y Country. The person she married was called Noah."
"What? You mean Jocelyn got married? Really?" Gloria's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Yes, but I can't find out anything about her husband on my end at all."
"What do you mean you can't find out?" Gloria's eyes were full of incomprehension.
"There are two possibilities for not being able to find out the identity, one is that the person's identity is incredibly noble and the identity information has been deliberately protected, the other possibility is that the system didn't update the person's identity information in time."
Gloria coldly snorted, "How could the identity be particularly noble? Since we can't find out, forget it, I'll transfer you the money later and you send me the information that proves she's married."
She hung up the phone, how could this not be considered ashamed past? This was black material!
She was now pretty sure that Jocelyn's marriage wasn't something proud.
If her identity had been shiny, she would have told her family first when she returned, or should have done so when she got married.
The only reason she could have kept her mouth shut about it was if her husband had been a lowly pariah!
The reason why she didn't even mention it when she got married was because her husband was not of good status and she was afraid that her family would object.
She was now curious to know how her father would react if he knew that his daughter, Jocelyn, whom he had high hopes for, had secretly got married.
At that time, would he still be shouting that she, Gloria, was inferior to Jocelyn?
Would he still want to hand over Murphy's to Jocelyn?
Would the family be in disarray? Would Jocelyn just get beaten up by her father? Or would she be kicked out of the house? Just imagining that image like that made her feel like she was dying of pleasure.
