Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 248 Chapter 248 73% Hearing Isolde's low, imposing voice, Lily's face instantly drained of color, and her legs nearly gave way beneath her.

Joycelyn stepped forward, gently supporting Isolde with a warm and caring tone. "Take it slow, Grandma Isolde When she saw this, Lily was stunned, taking two steps back in shock. She thought, "This can't be possible? "You are indeed Mr. Grant's wife?" Lily looked at Joycelyn in disbelief. The next moment, she changed her attitude completely, shedding her arrogance. With a look of grievance, she said, "Did you purposely hide this from me? Are you trying to makeembarrass myself? What have I done to deserve this from you?" After Lily finished her complaint, she quickly pretended to realize her mistake and immediately tried to defend herself. "Mrs. Grant, Mr. Grant, I never intended to show any disrespect. I just thought she was a junior employee here to help? Sandra hopped out of the car and said, "I told you the other day at the hospital, but you didn't believe me. You insisted on advising Joycelyn to divorce Ellison, offering 1.5 million dollars, and marrying your conveniently found brother instead." Her words added fuel to the fire, leaving Lily exposed.

"Have my wife divorce me?" Ellison's cold, mocking tone sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Ah, right. Just a few days have passed, and you forgot about the 1.5 million dollar divorce settlement you and your father were offering?" With a casual tone, Joycelyn, while supporting Isolde, added a remark.

Although she had initially been magnanimous and didn't want to engage, Lily's arrogance was too much to ignore. Taking one step back only made her more frustrated.

Lily trembled with fear. "No, no such thing," she quickly said, shaking her head in denial.

Ellison walked over to Joycelyn, lowering his head to look at her. His deep, piercing gaze silently asked, "Why didn't you tellabout this?" Joycelyn mischievously blinked her eyes, her innocent face not explain.

It only infuriated Ellison further, causing him to pinch her soft, delicate cheek gently. He thought he would have to teach her a lesson when they got home-before she bectoo money-minded.

Joycelyn furrowed her brows and wrinkled her nose. “I didn't even pay attention to it,” she muttered. She thought, 'Such a jealous one!' Ellison let out a haughty hum.

The atmosphere was austere in front of the grand and solemn mansion, yet their interaction added a touch of warmth and affection. However, Lily dared not lift her head. If she had seen Ellison doting on Joycelyn, she wished she could turn back tand slap herself a few times.

"Encouraging my precious granddaughter-in-law to get a divorce? You have quite the nerve!" Isolde scolded. Lily's heart skipped a beat. In a panic, she quickly dropped to her knees. "Mrs. Grant, my father and I would never disrespect the Young Mistress of the Grant family. Please believe us." Joycelyn hadn't expected Lily, who was usually so proud and arrogant, to drop her knees so quickly. It wasn't as ssive as she thought.

It seemed that the people inside had received the news, and one by one, they cout to greet them. Around forty to fifty people were exuding an air of grandeur. Aaron walked to the front, smiling, calm, and cunning. "Mrs. Grant, we've been waiting for your return home," he said warmly.

As Aaron stepped out and saw Lily on her knees, he was momentarily stunned. He quickly jogged forward, his expression turning serious. "What has Lily done to upset Mrs. Grant? Please, Mrs. Grant, let us know," he asked, his tone respectful but filled with concern.

1/3 Mon, TU Mar Chapter 248 4739 Standing beside Joycelyn, Ellison spoke in a cold, measured tone, his hands clasped behind his back. “So, you and your daughter offered 1.5 million dollars to try to convince my wife to divorce me. Is that right? Seeing Joycelyn supporting Isolde, Aaron gasped in shock. 'Is Ms. Maynard Mr. Grant's wife?" he asked, feigning confusion, though he panicked inside.

Everyone gazed at Joycelyn beside Isolde in disbelief. Her delicate and ethereal face radiated a natural elegance, especially her clear, sparkling eyes, bright like the stars. Even standing next to Ellison, she still exuded a unique, incomparable beasty that felt otherworldly and independent.

"Oh, we were unwise and did not recognize the importance. Ms. Maynard is beautiful and kind-hearted. We are fond of her and had hoped she would beca member of the Grant family. We never expected her to be your wife. Mr. Grant. It seems we are destined to becone family after all.

"I hope you forgive us for the previous misunderstandings and do not hold any grudges against an old man likeAaron smiled apologetically in front of everyone. While offering his explanation, he couldn't help but leverage his seniority to smooth things over and cover up his previous actions.

Hearing all the flattery, Joycelyn couldn't help but think that Aaron knew how to bend and adapt. In just a few minutes, she had witnessed the oppressive force that comes with the highest authority.

Ellison didn't lose his temper. Instead, with a chilling tone, he coldly remarked, "Do you even deserve to be my uncle?" At these words, everyone fell into a tense silence, holding their breath. Even Aaron's face went pale, frozen in shock Joycelyn, too, felt a sudden jolt in her chest.

She glanced at Ellison. He exuded a regal aura, one that commanded attention. Although he was younger than most in the room, as the head of the Grant family, his composed, aloof expression carried the weight of years of navigating the complexities of the business world.

His demeanor radiated a quiet authority, a presence that could overpower others without a single word. Even the elders seemed to pale in comparison.

She thought, 'Alright, I can be more upright from now on!" Aaron found himself in an awkward position, unable to salvage his dignity. He could only force a smile, his face turning a shade of embarrassment as he said, "Mr. Grant is right. I'm getting old, and my mind must be slightly muddled."

With a sharp frown, Ellison's cold gaze never left Aaron, his voice dripping with disdain. "They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If your mind is muddled, your daughter seems no different." He spoke with chilling authority, clearly stating that he did not respect Aaron. Aaron's forced smile faltered, and all his dignity seemed to vanish at that moment. In a swift motion, he walked over to Lily, raising his hand to slap her twice. "This is for your ignorance," he said sternly. "You've offended Mrs. Joycelyn Grant!"

The sound of two sharp slaps echoed through the room, leaving distinct marks on Lily's face. Despite the sting she dared not show any anger. Instead, she lowered her head, her hands pressed to her cheeks, and meekly apologized, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Upon hearing this, Ellison's cold gaze lingered on the scene as he spoke again, his tone dripping with disdain, vel "Get off the carpet, you might leave marks." His words were an apparent retaliation for Lily's earlier mockery of Joycelyn by stepping on the carpet.

Hearing this, Lily quickly scrambled to move aside and continued on her knees cautiously, her demeanor pitiful, defeated, and wretched.

"Children are a reflection of their parents. You should join your daughter here and repent together," Ellison said coldly, his eyes showing no mercy. Unable to refute, Aaron lowered his head in submission and nodded.

"And remember what you said earlier servants should enter through the side door, not the main entrance, so they don't soil the Grant family's gate," Ellison added, his tone suddenly sharp and commanding.
