Chapter 219 Chapter 219 n ☐☐.,72%£ +23 "Lucy's a bit out of luck. Mr. Willows' woman got her hands on a video and even showed it around, but Lucy accidentally bumped into her, knocking the phone and breaking it. Now everyone's saying she's guilty, and the whole thing's turned into a massive ," Selene said, lowering her voice as she spoke, still biting her straw. "Letcheck," Joycelyn replied, pulling out her phone and sitting at her desk to message Lucy.

They had both been so busy lately and while they occasionally chatted, Joycelyn hadn't heard Lucy mention anything about this.

Joycelyn thought, 'It could've been that tlast month when Zachary caughtin his office and secretly filmed me. The video probably ended up in Lucy's hands, and she might've bumped into the phone on purpose to protect herself.

When Joycelyn sent the message, Lucy was busy, and it took a while before she replied, saying the issue had blown over.

Joycelyn thought, 'No wonder she's been avoiding Isolde's invitations lately. She's probably trying to stay out of trouble.

Joycelyn had been in the office for a while. An hour before the end of the workday, she gathered up sdocuments, ready to take them upstairs.

Joycelyn was now a key talent being nurtured at the Grant Group. No one questioned her when she headed to the President's office. Everyone encouraged her to perform well.

In the President's office, Ellison handled his work while listening to Sandra report on what was happening at school.

"Liam looks like a total nerd, but there are a few senior students and professors in their lab who are pretty strict and have sinfluence," Sandra started, giving a report.

Hearing this, Ellison frowned, clearly displeased, and lifted his gaze just in tto see Joycelyn standing in the doorway, holding a stack of papers.

"Benny, take over," he said.

As soon as Ellison spoke, Sandra, who had been doodling on her iPad, quickly set it down, jumped up from the sofa in a flash, and darted over to Joycelyn.

Joycelyn felt the wind from her movement, her bangs blown aside in an instant as Sandra appeared right in front of her.

"Hey, Joycelyn. Letdo it." Sandra said, reaching for the papers and bouncing over to the desk to set them down.

Joycelyn stood in the doorway, stunned. She thought, “This is like something straight out of a martial arts movie I used to watch on TV.

"Wow, Sandra, you're amazing," Joycelyn couldn't help but praise her impressive skills.

"I'm going to step outside for a while. You two can chat; I'll stay out for a while,” Sandra said, grabbing her iPad and walking to the door. She gently pushed Joycelyn into the office and stepped outside.

"No worries, we'll talk about all the gossip you love later. Con in," Joycelyn replied, not letting the energetic Sandra leave and pulling her into the office instead.

"What's going on?" "His gossip," Joycelyn said with a grin.

"Ah," Sandra murmured, her voice trailing off as she retreated to the sofa, sketching absently while her ears remained alert.

1/3 Len Chapter 219 Ellison stopped what he was doing, leaning back in his chair as he watched joycelyn approach, her eyes sparking with a smile that was entirely new to him.

For the first time, he noticed a smile like that on her face, and a sudden wave of discomfort swept over here was the kind of tension only a husband knew.

"What's going on?" he asked, noting that her eyes held something different, something, he hadn't seen before "I just got back to the office and heard a juicy rumor. Want to hear it?" Joycelyn's delicate features held a teasing, insxxent curiosity as she looked at him.

"Go ahead," Ellison replied, unfazed.

"Rumor has it you've got a mistress at the office, and there's even a video of her leaving your office. Everyone's defaq to know who she is. I'm curious, too." Joycelyn stepped forward, pretending to organize the papers she had just set down, her clear, dark eyes fuckering, with interest.

"Who said that? I'll shut their mouth for them," Ellison's voice was sharp and annoyant.

"It's probably all over the office by now, and there's the video. But it's from last month. Lucy caught the person spreading the rumor, and they got into an argument. She even had to cover half the cost of a phone* "Last month? Feeding me? Was it Zachary?" Ellison furrowed his brow, his expression darkening Joycelyn studied his cold, handsface, noting the flicker of restrained anger in his deep, dark eyes. Joycelyn couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire. "Right, they even said your mistress was feeding you mouth to mouth," Joycelyn teased, her expression innocent yet playful, a mischievous smile tugging at her lips. Ellison's expression darkened, and he immediately called William to get to the bottom of this.

"Hold on a second, I'm not taking the fall for this," Ellison said, his voice softening as he motioned for Joycelyn not to overthink it.

Joycelyn pretended to be annoyed, but it was clear she wasn't upset on her behalf. It was Lucy who had gotten into the conflict, standing up for her.

"Hmph, I'll wait then." Joycelyn pushed the papers toward him. "You take a look. I'm taking a break. I've got dinner with colleagues tonight, and I'm meeting Lucy for a late-night snack. I might be back late." "Where are you going to eat? Aren't you bringing me?" "It's a girls' night. What would you even do there? If you came, how would we be able to gossip?" A short while later, William walked in.

"Mr. Grant, here's the surveillance footage from last month,” William said, setting the laptop in front of Ellison. Joycelyn stood and leaned in, glancing at the screen. She thought, 'So it is a hidden camera shot of me!" "I had my assistant check the angle. You can't make out the face, but what Mr. Willows did was clearly inappropriate," William reported, his tone heavy.

"I understand. You can go now," Ellison replied, his face cold as he continued to study the footage, deep in thought. He thought, 'Someone's been scheming right under my nose and spreading rumors within the company-this has crossed the line.' 2/3 06:56 Thu, 6 Mar Chapter 219

"He probably didn't leak the video; he's probably just trying to gossip, I sas heard he's a sponsored college student interning in the admin department," Joycelyn continued, fueling the fire with a casual smile. "Understood," Ellison said simply, directing the order to William, sharp and direct, William immediately left to carry out the command.

"Good job, Ellison!" Joycelyn exclaimed, stepping forward to kiss him before turning and walking off without a second glance. "I'm going to get back to work." Ellison watched her carefree figure disappear, fully aware he'd been used as a pawn. Still, he couldn't help but smile, lightly touching the spot where she had kissed him, feeling oddly content.

After leaving Ellison's office, Joycelyn made her way to Lucy's floor, a cup of her favorite coffee in hand.

When Lucy spotted Joycelyn in the break room, her mood instantly lifted. "Joycelyn." Joycelyn stepped forward and hugged her, then popped a straw into the coffee and handed it to her. "Once you're done with your overtime, let's grab dinner." "Sounds good," Lucy replied, her bright smile hiding any sign of the office politics she'd endured.

The two were chatting when a young woman with a pure, innocent appearance stormed toward them, fury written across her face.

"Barrett, you really have snerve! What kind of pillow talk did you whisper to getfired? And youn dare to say you didn't sleep your way to the top-yet you're still ruining others. You're so disgusting." Ella Kate's sharp voice cut through the office, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. She marched over and hurled the hot coffee straight at Lucy.

Lucy could have dodged it, but when she saw Joycelyn nearby, fearing she might get splashed, she stepped in front of her to shield her.

Though the coffee wasn't scalding, it still soaked through Lucy's shirt, leaving a sticky mess.

The whole thing happened too quickly for Joycelyn to react at first-she had never seen this young woman before. But by the tit registered, Lucy had already taken the hit.

Joycelyn's face hardened, her eyes cold. She grabbed the coffee from Lucy's hand, twisted the lid off, and splashed it straight into Ella's face.

"Ah! That's cold!" Ella froze in shock, standing there, stunned.

"Who do you think you are, throwing coffee at me?" Ella shouted, her face now a mess as she angrily pointed at Joycelyn. "Did the coffee blind you, or can you still see well enough to see speak?" Joycelyn said, calmly reattaching the lid to her cup. Her presence wasn't particularly intimidating, but there was a cool, steady confidence about her that made it clear she wouldn't tole Joy
