Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Leon had always been single, which was, in itself, kind of hilarious.

After delivering his toast at the wedding, Isolde shared it in the group chat with her closest friends. Everyone found it utterly amusing. No one knew how others reacted, but for Joycelyn, Sandra's relentless teasing of Leon was pure entertainment.

The usually brash young man ended up looking downright gloomy by the end of it. That night, Joycelyn couldn't stop laughing. Even after she fell asleep, she dreamed of herself laughing.

The next morning, she woke up naturally. Glancing at the clock, she saw it was already 9:30.

'Wow, I really slept in! Yesterday was so busy with the wedding, and I didn't even do anything crazy last night. Still, I slept like a log,' I said. When Joycelyn finally went downstairs, she found only Sandra at home.

"Sandra, it's just you here?" she asked, mildly surprised.

"Yup! The two elders headed back. Ellison went to the office to handle something, and Leon left too. It's justand these two little furballs." Sandra was playing with the two dogs, her voice playful and sweet.

"Have Grandma and the rest returned to the hospital? Why aren't they at hafter dinner? Have you had breakfast?" she said.

"I've eaten. I've made breakfast for you. It's in the kitchen..." Sandra was playing with Rocky and Lucky. It was obvious that she liked puppies very much and was a very innocent girl.

'How can someone be this adorable and still be practically unbeatable in combat?' she wondered.

Despite her sweet, charming demeanor, Sandra was incredibly skilled and capable. Joycelyn admired her for her boldness and self-assurance, wrapped in a layer of youthful naivety.

Ellison had mentioned to Joycelyn that Sandra would be her little sidekick from now on.

'I can't believe I need someone as cute as this to protect me. Goodness, this is too much for my heart to handle!' she wondered.

bespoke Joycelyn's tone softened instinctively as she spoke to Sandra. "Are you sure you don't want to eat anything else?" "Nope, I'm full!" Sandra turned to give Joycelyn a bright, sugary smile. Joycelyn felt her heart melt. Fortunately, you got married to Luna. She met a soft-hearted god and was raised well.

'How could her parents leave such a wonderful girl behind? It's such a blessing that she found Luna and wrapped her so well.

"Alright, then. I'll finish my breakfast, and we can head to the school later. In the afternoon, let's go shopping. I love your dress. You've got such great taste! Let's pick out a few more for you," he added.

Joycelyn was in a great mood. As she ate her breakfast, her mind wandered to the incident with the Wilson family yesterday. Curiosity piqued, she quickly searched for updates on her phone.

She found news about the Wilson family's bankruptcy. The lab Ruby had poured her heart and soul into had been shut down due to technical failures. Once a leader in the field, she had now fallen from grace entirely.

"A mysterious player?" Joycelyn murmured, staring intently at the report, completely forgetting about her meal. 'Did Ellison leave early this morning to handle this mess?' The thought tugged at her heartstrings. They had just celebrated their wedding yesterday, and today, he was already caught up in such a thorny situation.

"Joycelyn, what's wrong?" Sandra's voice brought her back to reality. She looked up to see Sandra carrying the two dogs, their tiny paws pecking out adorably from her arms. Sandra's waist accessory jingled softly as she approached, her expression full of concern.

Joycelyn gave her a small smile and shook her head. "Nothing, I was just reading the news." Sandra glanced at the screen and caught sight of Ruby's name. She scoffed dismissively, her disdain clear. “That woman deserves to be taken down by Ellison." Joycelyn blinked, obviously still unaware of how deeply Ellison had been involved. Her curiosity about the situation was growing. "This woman deserves to be taught a lesson by Ellison." "Huh?" Joycelyn blinked, obviously still unaware of how deeply Ellison had been involved. Her curiosity about the situation was growing.

"The Wilson family's bankruptcy is exactly what they had coming," Sandra added with a snort.

"That serious? But... what about Ellison? Couldn't this affect him too?" Joycelyn's mind raced. Ruby had been pinning blleft and right, and now that she'd gone under overnight, anyone associated with Ellison, could face repercussions.

"I'm calling him," Joycelyn said, losing her appetite entirely. Without a second thought, she dialed Ellison's number.

In the CEO's office, William was giving Ellison an update while the man leaned back in his large chair, exuding confidence.

His sharp, handsfeatures softened into a subtle, triumphant smile, his deep-set eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory.

Haddy handed him a glass of whiskey. "Congratulations.' Ellison accepted the glass and clinked it against Haddy's. He took a sip, savoring the moment when his phone suddenly buzzed.

The moment he saw the caller ID, he immediately set the glass down and answered the call. "Awake already?" Haddy, watching the shift in Ellison's demeanor, chuckled softly and took a seat on the couch, his glass in hand. 'And here I thought he was an ice-cold executive through and through. Turns out, one call from the wife, and he's all soft, Haddy wondered. Ellison's previously cool and commanding tone had noticeably warmed.

Haddy couldn't help but tease him in his mind. 'Married life really does change a man. He won't even take another sip of whiskey once she's on the line.' "Are you in a meeting?" Joycelyn's voice was filled with worry. "I just saw the news. The Wilson family really went bankrupt. Are you okay? Is there any chance you'll get dragged into this mess?" Ellison's expression softened, and his voice carried a reassuring tone. "Don't worry. It's nothing serious on my end. There are just a few loose ends to tie up. I'm only a businessman, not a scientist. None of the technical failures fall on me. Worst case, I'll lose smoney and clean things up." Joycelyn let out a relieved sigh.

"Alright then. If there's nothing major, I won't bother you anymore. Get back to work." She kept it brief and hung up after saying her goodbyes.

Ellison set the phone down, a small smile playing on his lips, more happy than earning a few million dollars.

"Mr. Grant," Haddy said with a sly grin, “I didn't think you'd turn into such a doting husband so quickly. Who knew marriage would make you so whipped? By the way, how did you know Joycelyn?" 10:55 Fri, 21 Feb 60 Chapter 200 4%80%u (+13)

Ellison's gaze turned mildly disdainful, but his lips curled slightly in amusement.

Keep Your nose ou of my business. Instead of caring about me, why don't you tellabout how you were pounced on by a woman at Meciaro Bar?" At that, Haddy almost chuckled.

"Tsk, but you're very fast. Do you think no one will know just because you erased the surveillance footage?" Ellison glanced at him from the corner of his eye with a mocking gaze.

"You should have been pulling up her background information for research instead of trying to dig stuff out ofif you had known. Since when did you becso nosy?" Haddy's voice was calm and composed, showing no embarrassment despite being called out. Ellison raised an eyebrow, amused. Haddy had hit the nail on the head.

"Lucky you. If I catch you slipping, next twe sign a deal, you'll have to shave another percentage point off for me." Ellison retorted, his tone casual yet commanding.

Haddy took a sip of his drink, unfazed by Ellison's dominating aura. "Cunning businessman," he remarked. "Flattering," Ellison replied, completely unbothered.

"Honestly, your wife worries about you getting taken advantage of, as if that's even possible," Haddy said with a shake of his head.

Ellison, with his scheming mind and strategic depth, was practically unbeatable. Joycelyn, with heppure and straightforward personality, fretted over him unnecessarily. If anything, people should be worried about Ellison taking advantage of others, not the other way around. "Well, she is my wife," Ellison said, the pride in his voice unmistakable.

"Still, this kind of fun, having someone worry about you like that, is something a single person like you wouldn't understand," Ellison added with a smirk.

He couldn't miss the chance to rub it in Haddy's face, taking advantage of his single status to gloat shamelessly.

Haddy gave him a pointed look. “I'm tempted to record this and show Joycelyn what you really look like behind her back."
