Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Send gift No Ads " Chapter 256 Chapter 256 73%1 "Mrs. Great, no matter how unremarkable our family branch may be, we still share the Grant bloodline. That snake was originally after you, yet my father was bitten because of it. There was no need for you to make matters worse publicly." Lily turned around, her tear-reddened eyes fixed on Joycelyn, looking utterly pitiful, as if Aaron's misfortune was entirely Joycelyn's doing Indeed. Why did the snake cstraight forwith so many people around?" Joycelyn gazed at Lily, her clear eyes deep and thoughtful.

On the surface, she seemed to be pondering the question herself, but the look in her eyes gave Lily the unsettling feeling that Joycelyn had seen right through her. Lily instinctively dampened her previously indignant demeanor as if she feared Joycelyn might start to suspect something.

This snake is known as the king cobra. If its eggs are stolen, it can track the scent for several miles to seek revenge, which is how it got its name, Lily explained.

Sandra pushed her way to the front and used a stick to flip over the lifeless snake, which the bodyguards had killed. "Rather than blaming Joycelyn for your father's injury, you should focus on finding out who let this venomous creature in to harm her. Anyone here could be the next target if the culprit isn't found." "Exactly! We must find out the truth! And those peonies and dahlias in the courtyard-they are prized blooms that have been cultivated for years!" "Right!" The Grant family members all began to voice their agreement. Seeing Aaron already lying on the ground, convulsing and delirious, they were terrified. They feared that they could be the next to suffer.

"Gather everyone and thoroughly investigate this matter. No one can leave the Grant family estate if nothing is found. Bring in the best doctors to treat Aaron and ensure his full recovery." Ellison issued the order, and no one dared to speak up again.

"Ellison, take Joycelyn back and keep her calm. I'll have someone bring food so you can eat at home." Isolde furrowed her brow as she glanced toward Aaron, her expression graver than ever.

Despite her advanced age, her piercing gaze and the calm, resolute authority honed through years of experience commanded the utmost respect from everyone present. She was an unshakable pillar of support. With Isolde publicly advocating for Joycelyn, Lily dared not make any further accusations against her.

"Okay," Ellison responded coldly, his handsface expressionless, as he took Joycelyn's hand and headed back.

They said that once you entered a wealthy family, you felt like you were in deep waters, and Joycelyn had already experienced that by morning.

"After today, most people would leave and return to their homes, so we wouldn't need to deal with them anymore." Ellison squeezed her small hand in his, his expression exceptionally grim.

It was the first tJoycelyn had encountered something like this. Her soft, pale face remained cold and solemn while a lingering sense of unease and nausea settled in her stomach. When they reached the villa, several bodyguards were conducting a thorough search.

Joycelyn quickly made her way upstairs and pushed open the intricately carved window. Staring at the lush gr couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

ry, she "What's wrong? Did you find something?" Ellison asked.

"Well, there's a large forest behind us, so the likelihood of someone sourcing materials from there is high." After speaking, Joycelyn glanced at the bamboo forest, where many figures could be seen moving. "What's going on?" 1/3 Mon, Tu 478 Chapter 256 "We've called a snake-catching team to clear the venomous snakes and insects from this mountain range," Ellison said.

"What? No, no!" Though still shaken, Joycelyn disagreed with the blunt solution. “Nature has its food chain. We can't disrupt it just because there's a danger. Animals have their instincts. Instead of killing them all, it's better to investigate who went into the mountains and disturbed the snake dens.” With such a large estate, filled with so many flowers, plants, and trees, and with hardly any insects or mosquitoes, it suggested that people and intelligent devices played a significant role in maintaining this environment. The likelihood of human involvement seemed higher.

Just as Joycelyn finished speaking, a bodyguard scanning with equipment reported the latest findings. "Mr. Grant, there's mucus near the edge of the bed." Upon hearing the word "mucus," Joycelyn couldn't help but feel disgust. "Near the bed? Is it from the one that hisses?" Worried that saying what it was might be unpleasant, Joycelyn changed her description.

"We need to inspect and compare." The bodyguard stood by the bed's carpet, and the blue light revealed a white mark. The dried mucus on the expensive carpet left a noticeable stain to the naked eye.

"Playing such a dirty game? Then let's find out who it is and let them experience their own game." Ellison narrowed his cold, sharp, deep eyes. Thinking they dared to act right under his nose. They must be tired of living.

"Thankfully, that person didn't throw that thing in here to bite us last night." She probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. She thought, "The methods of the upper class are despicable-there's no denying that.

"Sorry, it was my oversight." Ellison was also angry, his expression remaining dark and unpleasant. Joycelyn gently tugged at his arm, speaking softly to comfort him, "You don't need to blyourself. Honestly, I feel more sympathy for you and Grandma instead of being scared. I can only imagine how much you endured to reach this position in such a vast family." They were surrounded by wolves, each with their schemes.

Upon hearing this, Ellison's heart softened. He embraced Joycelyn and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Grant. In the beginning, it was indeed difficult. After all, I was only 17 and had to compete with those elders." "What? 17?" Joycelyn was stunned. She thought, 'He was already the heir in high school?' "Yeah." Ellison raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded thoughtfully.

"When I was 17, I was still handing out flyers on the street." She thought, 'Meanwhile, he's already taken over the family business. Oh well, guess I'll pity myself. Joycelyn blinked her clear, expressive eyes slightly, trying to mask the slight embarrassment from her earlier words.

"Mr. Grant, fresh size nine footprints are on the back mountain. However, the technicians say they were m deliberately fabricated. The shoe size is heavier at the front and lighter at the back, indicating that a woman wore men's shoes," William's report interrupted the couple's conversation. Upon hearing the report, Joycelyn was somewhat surprised. She thought, 'A woman? How bold.

The image of Lily skillfully tending to the wound flashed through Joycelyn's mind. It seemed like it could have been her. Ellison's phone rang as she was mulling over this thought. It was a call from Isolde.

Ellison glanced at the phone and immediately answered. “Grandma, what is it?"

"We found the person. It's one of the butlers from your great-grandma Niamh's side. They went into the mountains to catch snakes for Harriet's medicine but made a mistake and got caught. They already confessed." "Is it male or female?" Ellison asked in a low voice.

2/3 11:19 Mon, 10 Mar Chapter 256 73%1 413) "It's a man, an old man." After Isolde had spoken, Joycelyn exchanged a glance with Ellison. Someone aware of their guilt had found a scapegoat.

"We should go take a look.” Joycelyn grabbed Ellison's hand and headed outside. Someone had tried to harm her, and she couldn't let this matter go unresolved.
