Walking behind while munching on a large apple, Sandra suddenly shouted, "Watch our ad the comt, dhe bad a dea view-a highly venomous snake was slithering past people's feet, heading straight toward Vrjeskyn Joycelyn let out a startled cry, "A snake!* That morning, the Grant family had experienced two unsettling incidents, and word spread quickly.

When Joycelyn cried, Ellison pulled her into his arms, swiftly shielding her from danger. Yet, the wike towed no interest in anyone else-it slithered straight toward her.

"Ah! Kill it! Kill it now!" someone shouted in panic, their voice shrill with fear. The socialites descended into chaos. stumbling over themselves, desperately trying to escape.

The shrill screams agitated the snake, making it slither even faster. In the blink of an eye, it lunged at Joycelyn, its mouth wide open, fangs bared, striking straight toward her.

Hidden within the crowd, Lily watched with exhilaration, unable to tear her eyes away. But just as the tension peaked, a large apple hurtled through the air with pinpoint accuracy, Like a skipping stone, it struck the snake- now half-raised-sending it flying.

Unfortunately, the snake flew several yards and landed at Aaron's feet. Perhaps enraged by the sudden attack, it beceven more aggressive, striking out indiscriminately.

"Ah! The snake has bitten me!" Aaron's anguished cry rang out from the crowd.

Everyone was focused solely on saving themselves, not sparing a thought for others. As the snake moved in one direction, the crowd frantically surged in the opposite direction. Once the chaos cleared, Aaron was found lying on the ground, while the arriving bodyguards swiftly used tongs to pin the snake to the ground, securing it. "That looks like a king cobra! Call a doctor to treat the wound, or someone could die!" someone in the crowd, who seemed to recognize the snake, urgently shouted.

Hearing "king cobra," Joycelyn trembled in fear, instinctively seeking refuge in Ellison's embrace.

"It's okay, it's okay," he reassured her, though his heart had skipped a beat earlier. Fortunately, Jocyelyn was unharmed. He gently moved Joycelyn to the side, soothing her in a soft voice while subtly giving Sandra and William a pointed look.

"Dad!" Eagerly watching with excitement, Lily had fully expected to witness Joycelyn being bitten by the venomous sna! However, to her shock, the snake was struck away in the final moment-only for her father to be bitten instead.

Lily's legs went weak with fear, her once-eager eyes now burning with a crimson intensity. She knew better than anyone the deadly venom of that snake.

Lily let out a frantic scream and rushed over. Before the doctor could arrive, she swiftly began tending to the wound, tears streaming down her face, but her hands never faltered.

Aaron had been bitten on his calf. Lily quickly rolled up his pants, tearing off the apron tie from her waist and tightly wrapping it around his leg, trying to stem the spread of venom through his bloodstream.

1/3 Mon, Tu Chapter 255 Joycelyn continued to tremble, taking a long tto calm down. When he finally lifted her face from Ellison's chest, the looked at Lily, who was crying while she treated Aaron's wound. "Did she study mediciner the asked softly.

"It seems so, Ellison replied, not paying attention to the father daughter dun. ifis for us was entirely on whether Joycelyn was hurt. “Lettake you to get checked” He reached out, intending to escort her back to their room "Ellison, look at this situation. Our family must be cursed. This morning, there were over ten dead snakes in the house, and now this one is chasing after your wife to bite her. It's too strange, Niamh Grant called out to him, her voice filled with concern.

Everyone's gaze shifted toward them, and Joycelyn felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort, as if the eyes on her were like needles poking into her back.

As everyone began to calm down from their earlier panic, they increasingly believed that Joycelyn had somehow brought omen upon herself, explaining why the snake seemed to target her.

It was especially unfortunate for the Grant family's second branch, which was constantly suppressed. Now, they had been caught up in this ordeal, fearing not only the possibility of death but also whether amputation might be necessary, The one who spoke was the husband of the 80-year-old woman, the oldest living, member of the Grant family, "Our family hasn't had a single insect appear in years, and yet, on the first night your wife enters, dead snakes and venomous ones appear out of nowhere.

"Ellison, this is too strange. Your wife may not be good for the Grant family" His words were laced with criticism. Ellison tightened his grip on Joycelyn's hand and turned, his expression darkening with each passing second. His aura turned icy as he looked at the dozens of people in the garden.

"If anyone thinks my wife is bad for the Grant family, you can leave and establish your household. There's no need to waste any more words in front of me!" The Grant family's century-old legacy had always relied on the first branch. They didn't dare offend Ellison, but they knew. they could only target Joycelyn to challenge him.

At that moment, while Ellison stood firmly by her side, the others silently harbored their displeasure, too fearful to voice it. Instead, they directed their resentment toward Joycelyn, their glares filled with hostility and rejection.

Joycelyn still felt a lingering sense of fear. She feared these people would label her a modern-day enchantress if she stayed silent longer.

"I had only heard the saying 'When someone wants to accuse you, they'll always find a reason, but today, I've truly experienced it myself." She sighed, her expression a mixture of helplessness and resignation.

"In a mansion where not even a single insect ever appears, suddenly, without a trace, many snakes appear. Are you all sure it waswho brought them here? Or is there someone behind the scenes settingup? "Rather than believing in the supernatural or superstitions, I trust more that someone is watching us from the shadows right now!" Upon hearing Joycelyn's words, the crowd drew in a sharp breath, their gazes shifting nervously toward the relatives beside them.

Joycelyn's tone grew more serious. "This person managed to act right under our noses, so who's to say they won't poison s all next time? We're all wealthy and influential; our combined assets could rival a nation's fortune. Imagine the consequences if someone were to take us all down at once." Joycelyn deliberately shook her head. “It's too terrifying!" Though her words seemed to be mere suspicion, they awakened everyone. Wealthy families were often obsessed with preserving their lives and enjoying their status, and above all, they valued their interests.

Joycelyn cleverly drew everyone into the scamp by speaking like this, complicating her suspicions. Ellison glanced at 2/3 2/2 Chapter 255 Joycelyn, who was compened and exten, and gave her an appolok jyys pagrested with a wider eyes gyarking with a hint of mischief
