Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 254 "Ellison, don't misunderstand, Sibyl just spoke out of turn. But this situation does seem a bit strange. I'll apologize to your wife on her behalf," said Averi in a calm and composed tone, showing no hesitation in apologizing to a younger generation.

After speaking, she immediately turned her attention to Isolde, whom Luna supported. The younger generation may not believe, but the older generation would at least consider it.

"The matter is indeed suspicious, Mrs. Grant. Perhaps we should invite the priest who usually recites prayers to provide insight. After all, this concerns the century-long legacy of the Grant family and its future generations," Averi suggested, her tone serious and respectful.

"Yes, yes," the others quickly agreed, their faces pale with fear. These people had welcomed Joycelyn into the genealogy the day before, but in just one night, they seemed eager to drive her out, hoping to seize the benefits she had gained.

"Take these somewhere and bury them properly. As for the flowers, replace them with a new batch and get a new gardener as well," ordered Isolde, raising her hand to signal the servants to clear away the dead snakes.

Seeing Isolde didn't respond, Averi subtly signaled to a few relatives. "Mrs. Grant, this situation is unsettling. Perhaps we should invite a priest to take a look.

"Did Ellison and his wife have their birth charts checked before marriage? Sometimes, if the characters don't align, it can lead to complications," the elderly woman from the Jamir Grant branch murmured with a hint of unease.

"That boy is tough; nothing can break him. Don't worry too much, my dear," Isolde said with a reassuring smile. "Ellison is definitely under divine protection, but for something like this to happen on such an important day, it's as if the benefactors are sending a warning," said the elderly woman, leaning on her cane. Her words were tinged with suspicion.

"Hold onto the benefactors so tightly. Be careful; tonight, they might clooking for you to keep them company." Ellison said, his voice cold and direct, effectively silencing everyone in the room with a single remark.

The nearly 80-year-old woman was so startled by his words that she immediately fell silent. If the benefactors clooking, she knew she wasn't far from her resting place.

"Honestly, how can you speak like that?” Isolde pretended to scold Ellison with a feigned tone of disapproval.

"Otherwise, should I have my wife learn sancient art to summon the benefactors of the Grant family from beyond? Maybe that'll satisfy everyone. Otherwise, if a mosquito dies in the house next time, they'll blher, too. How ridiculous!" Ellison sneered, standing there casually in his loungewear, his hands stuffed in his pockets. His commanding presence sent a chill through the room, making everyone uneasy.

He had already defended her in every possible way, and no one dared to say another word. If even the eighty- year-old elder couldn't get a kind word, the younger ones'who dared speak up would likely be scolded mercilessly.

Upstairs, Joycelyn felt quite anxious. It was the first tthe entire Grant family had made things difficult for her, which affected her mood somewhat.

She thought, "These people know how to stir things up, bullying someone as helpless as me. But thankfully, my husband not only provides for our family but is also a force to be reckoned with in this high society.

They said that in a marriage, a woman's treatment in her husband's family often depended on his attitude. Joy experienced this firsthand.

had "It's still early. Everyone should go back and rest for a while. We'll have breakfast later," Isolde instructed, signaling everyone to disperse.

Even though everyone had their opinions, none dared to show them in front of the unquestionable authority of Isolde and 1/3 Chapter 254 Ellison. They had underestimated Joycelyn's position in Ellison's and holde's hearts, thinking they could use the situation to sway their views, but they were proven wrong Even Lily had thought the same. After all the effort spent creating the eerie events overnight, Ellison and Isolde didn't even seem to take it seriously. What happened just now was the biggest taboo in prominent families.

Once everyone had left, Lily stepped out from behind the large tree. She quickly walked to the backyard, lifted the fabric curtain, and with a steady hand, pinched the venomous snake by its weak spot, hiding it within the voluminous sleeve of her dress.

Ellison did not immediately head upstairs to his room. Instead, he instructed William to check all the security footage from the previous night and investigate the incident.

By the the returned to his room, he happened to run into Sandra, who was obediently heading downstairs. "Ellison, I never knew you could curse so fiercely," she remarked with a playful tone.

"You've got so much to learn, little one, Ellison said, his hands in his pockets, not paying much attention to Sandra as she headed downstairs. Once he returned to his room, he locked the door. Sandra stuck out her tongue and skipped down the stairs.

"Looks like Sandra has ssense," Ellison remarked as he removed his clothes.

Joycelyn quickly stepped forward, eager to assist him. She gently took his hand away and carefully unbuttoned his shirt and trousers. "I'll do it, my beloved hubby," she said, her tone soft and attentive as she helped him change.

"Well, Mrs. Grant seems a little different today," Ellison remarked, his deep eyes narrowing as he observed his sweet, obedient wife before him: Joycelyn didn't try to flatter him; her eyes were slightly red, but she kept smiling. "What's wrong? Did you get scared and cry?" Ellison asked, gently pinching her soft cheek.

"Well," Joycelyn helped him remove his clothes, unable to resist pressing her face against his chest, gently nuzzling it. "I heard what you said earlier, about protecting me. I didn't know it would feel this good to be protected." His words deeply moved her.

She had thought that after living in the Mercer family for over a decade, she had lost all hope for kindness m and warmth. But when she was truly protected, held firmly behind someone who would defend her, she felt a deep sense of happiness that. nourished her. It was so warm that she couldn't help but feel moved, almost to tears. "Don't worry, withhere, no one will hurt you," Ellison said.

"Okay." Joycelyn nodded in agreement.

The couple changed into classic black-and-white outfits, with Joycelyn adding a cute couple's diamond brooch to her attire. After freshening up, they walked downstairs hand in hand to the hall for breakfast.

They had to attend the first breakfast banquet. They arrived at the lively hall after walking through the long m corridor and across the small bridge. Joycelyn kept her attention on her surroundings, as she slightly feared snakes. She was careful with every step she took. However, she didn't notice that Lily was subtly watching her in the crowd, her gaze fixed on Joycelyn. Lily loosened her grip on the venomous snake wrapped around her wrist, allowing it to slither down as she pretended to brush past sgreenery nearby.

Last night, she secretly smashed the snake's eggs through the window, then used a small robot to smear the residue onto Joycelyn's shoes. As soon as Joycelyn cinto contact with the scent, the mother snake would relentlessly track her down.

The venomous snake slithered close to the ground, rapidly heading toward Joycelyn. As the distance between the snake and Joycelyn shrank, Lily felt her blood boiling with excitement. Her mind screamed, 'Bite her, bite her to death!' The thrill of seeing her plan unfold was almost overwhelming.
