Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Ellison narrowed his eyes as he looked at Linda.
He had a very strong aura that made people feel a shiver deep down to their bones.
It wasn't just Linda. Even Joycelyn, who was already very familiar with him, also found this man particularly intimidating at this moment.
"Mr. Grant, stepping in to save the day is part of an employer's job, but I can't accept this sneaky photo-taking to create a misleading impression," Joycelyn said, adding fuel to the fire.
She thought. She's the one who is being unkind first, so don't expectnot to kick her while she's down! Joycelyn did not know how to act endearingly, but she had a gentle and calm look. Her voice was sweet and clear, with a hint of melancholy and softness.
Ellison naturally cared about it when he heard that.
His sharp gaze landed on Joycelyn's small face that looked like a punching bag. Even his blue eyes softened a little.
His wife was wronged. Naturally, he felt heartbroken.
He glanced at Linda coldly and said, "I specifically held a celebratory party for you, with everyone in the company attending. I even tripled your bonus. Yet, you're quite good at backstabbing. What are you trying to say with that photo?" When Linda heard these words, a chill ran down her spine, and it felt as though her heart had been lifted into the air by a large hand.
"Mr. Grant, I didn't mean to threaten you,” she said. “I know there's no way you'd get involved with Joycelyn. I'm just worried that if you keep getting caught up in rumors with her, this will cause people to have a hard tmaking an objective judgment about that." "What objective judgment are you talking about?" Joycelyn said. "Mr. Grant praised you in the first place, but unexpectedly. you pulled a move to undermine everything, failing to live up to his expectations.

Linda was extremely enraged by her. She thought, 'She actually dared to step onand putin a difficult situation" As soon as she got antsy, she started targeting Joycelyn. "I know that Mr. Grant didn't mean that, but that might not be the case for you.
Joycelyn suddenly laughed in anger. "Do you think that all women know is using tricks to seduce and sleep with others? Could it be that you get to your position the sway? You care so much about Mr. Grant's private life. Are you in love with him, or did you two have a past relationship?" Joycelyn clenched her fists. Not backing down, she started to fight back.
Hearing this, Ellison beceven more frustrated..
"When this girl gets angry, he's not even sparing me, huh?' he thought.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Linda scared out of her wits, but all the higher-ups present also held their 1/4 46 Sat, 15 Feb Chapter 107 72% breaths and focused. All of them looked like they had encountered a ghost. Each person started looking at the ceiling, and then at the floor.
They wished they could disappear on the spot.
This was the first tthey had encountered someone so brave, directly confronting Linda.
"Joycelyn, what nonsense are you talking about?" Linda said.
"You've got a mouth, so you can talk, but I can't?" Joycelyn said. "What's with your double standards? You showed everybody the photo just to get everyone to misunderstand and shift the focus, hurling the mud at me. "What do you mean we really need to reach closure on this matter, I'll admit? This is clearly your means and scheme. What's with you pretending to be the victim? It was initially a business scheme, but you twisted it into a fight for favor. You're really amazing" Joycelyn was also infuriated. She wanted to completely fall out with Linda and settle both old and new grudges with her After Joycelyn finished speaking, she looked at Ellison angrily. "Mr. Grant, since Linda almost died from an allergic reaction. why don't we call the police and get them to investigate? I won't admit to something I didn't do, and I'm not afraid." Ellison took a deep breath and looked at Joycelyn's furious expression, suddenly feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement.
He then instructed the lawyer beside him, "Take Linda downstairs first. Once we have the results, deal with her as you see fit." Joycelyn pressed for clarification, saying, “Deal with her as the lawyer sees fit? A demerit? A punishment? Or what?" "If it's serious, she'll be fired immediately, the chief lawyer replied truthfully. "The company will pursue legal responsibility and hand the case over to the relevant legal authorities according to the severity of the matter "What about my reputation?" Joycelyn said. Her clear voice was firm and resolute. “She spread my photo in private and damaged my reputation. What's going to be done about that?" By the side, Selene's astonished and admiring gaze shifted from Ellison to Joycelyn.
'So tough, she thought. I like it!' "Immediately apologize now," Ellison ordered Linda in a serious voice.
Linda widened her eyes, clearly incredulous.
I was already shocked when they mentioned firing me, but I totally didn't expect Ellison to haveapologize to Joycel she thought. I'm a director after all, yet he's actually makingapologize to a small-temployee' "Mr. Grant, you can holdresponsible for the project, but this is just a photo, Linda said. "It's not as serious as Joycelyn made it out to be" "How is it not serious?" Joycelyn said. “A single photo can be twisted into all sorts of rumors and slander. Didn't you just hint that my relationship with Mr. Grant is ambiguous and unclear? "Not only do you owean apology, but if this photo continues to spread elsewhere or if any rumors are fabricated, you will be held responsible as well." Joycelyn's words were clear. Perhaps because she was so angry, she had shed her usual gentle and calm demeanor, and her presence now carried an air of authority.

Her eyes seemed as if they wanted to bore through Joycelyn. With her neck stiffened, her breathing was heavy and ragged. Joycelyn was not afraid of her sharp gaze. Neither servile nor overbearing, she stood there, waiting for her to apologize.
Linda gritted her teeth and apologized to Joycelyn, saying, “Joycelyn, I'm sorry. I was rash. I shouldn't have let negative influences affectand made wild guesses” In the end, she lowered her proud head, hanging her head to signal that she was in the wrong.
Joycelyn was not smug at all. Her tense face remained serious. "Ifra person doesn't ever have basic ever you judgment, he is no different from an animal." Linda's anger intensified. She clenched her fists so tightly that she almost crushed her bones.
She forced herself to suppress her anger and the meekness of having her dignity trample underfoot, stiffly nodding. Joycelyn did not stay in this office for long. She immediately took her phone and left. Selene followed her closely.
When Joycelyn passed by Ellison, she didn't even spare him a glance and walked straight past.

Ellison kept his gaze fixed on her back until she reached her desk and sat down. Only then did he look away. "Handle it well and givethe results before you get off work," Ellison said. He didn't linger any longer.
Upon turning around, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Joycelyn.
[Please ask Mr. Nolan to leave. No outsiders are allowed to stay in the company.] These words were spoken with a clear and cold rone.
Liam did not argue. He followed Ellison and left.
Once the large group had all left, Joycelyn finally relaxed her tense body.
She thought, I'm so angry. From now on, I will definitely keep my distance from Ellison when we're outside.
"Calm down," Selene said. "You had sserious boss vibes just now, though. I noticed that Mr. Grant didn't even dare to speak. It looks like he might very well beca henpecked husband in the future. Selene raised a coffee cup and handed it to Joycelyn with a respectful expression. 'A henpecked husband?' Joycelyn thought with a smile. 'Not to that extent.
Joycelyn's phone vibrated, and she looked at the message. [As expected of Mrs. Grant. Even I didn't dare to speak up.1 Joycelyn glanced at it and immediately deleted the message.
"Selene, was I really that fierce just now?" she asked, beginning to recall how angry she looked earlier.
She thought, 'Was I really that fierce? Does that mean I can really snap at him fiercely in the future?" 3/4 12:46 Sat, 15 Feb Chapter 107 But soon, Joycelyn dismissed this thought, thinking. 'I don't want to risk being tortured by him
