Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 260 "Bellina, I might indulge you in other things, but not this one. He's Ellison Grant," Jergently reassured Bellina, his tone calm and composed.

Jercould feel Ellison's imposing aura of power the moment he laid eyes on him, even from a distance. Cold, ruthless. and decisive, he was a dominant figure in the business world-mysterious and low-key for years. To his surprise, Ellison was not only young but strikingly handsome.

"What's wrong with Ellison? Didn't you tellbefore that I could have any man I wanted in the future? Why is it different with him?" Bellina cried out, her voice loud and filled with frustration.

Jersighed in frustration, rubbing his forehead. Just a moment ago, he had been irritated by Ellison's coldness and the fact that he had left so abruptly. Now, however, he was relieved that he had left first. Otherwise, hearing Bellina's outburst would have likely upset him.

"Bellina, if you keep acting this way, we won't go to the Grant family. We'll head straight back," Richard said, his expression stern as he looked at Bellina.

Although the spoiled Belina was used to getting her way, she could still recognize when her father was serious. Seeing his rare, stern expression, she pouted and muttered, "I'm not being stubborn. It's them who are bullying me." Isolde behind seemed to have heard Belina's cries, and her previously warm smile immediately faded. She then entered the car.

"I remember Jamir mentioning that the youngest daughter of the Schultz family went missing for a while. No wonder she's been spoiled and pampered, which has made her rather willful," Isolde remarked, dismissing the matter as Bellina's childish tantrum and not paying much attention to it.

"Yes, that girl looks about the sage as Sandra. I wonder when she'll find her biological parents. I'm already this old, and I won't be able to stay with her much longer," Luna suddenly said sadly.

Isolde reached out and gently patted Luna's hand. “Luna, when we're no longer around, Ellison and Joycelyn will take good care of Sandra. The Grant family will always be her home." It took Rd and Jera long tto persuade Bellina to get in the car and go to the Grant family for a meal.

Joycelyn and Ellison arrived hfirst. After getting out of the car, Ellison walked over to Joycelyn's side, opened the door, and assisted her as she stepped out. Only then did he realize that Sandra had been missing since they left in the morning. "Where's that troublemaker, Sandra?" he asked.

Joycelyn was momentarily stunned before quickly responding, "She's probably at hhelping William. Didn't he say he was replacing everything in the house?" Just as she finished speaking, she heard Sandra and another woman argue inside the villa.

Sandra protested, “Put that down! Ellison bought this for me!" The other girl raised her voice as well. “He's my brother! Do you think you deserve this limited-edition Jellycat? Let go! If you don't, I'll tell Grandma Isolde you're bullying me! You awful little stray!" Upon hearing the commotion, Joycelyn immediately hurried inside. Sandra's usually energetic face was now filled with anger. The carefree girl was so furious that tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Joycelyn suddenly felt a deep ache in her heart. She stepped forward and said firmly, "Grandma Isolde will return soon. Why don't you repeat what you said in front of her?" Joycelyn's expression remained calm and composed, but a hint of restrained anger flickered in her clear eyes. She looked at the girl about the sage as Sandra and spoke with quiet authority.

1/3 Mon, Chapter 260 +131 Tanya, the only daughter of Ellison's paternal aunt, was born late in her parents' lives and had been excessively pampered, which resulted in a willful and domineering personality. She felt a flicker of apprehension upon briefly meeting Joycelyn's gaze.

However, recalling what she had heard from her mother the day before-that Joycelyn cfrom an ordinary background -she quickly dismissed any concern and regarded her with little significance.

Tanya lifted her delicate face and glared at Joycelyn. "It's the truth! She eats our food, uses our things, and even lives in our house-what right does she have to compete with me? Don't tellyou think marrying Ellison gives you the authority to control me. How ridiculous!" After speaking, Tanya scoffed disdainfully. Her contemptuous gaze made it clear that she didn't regard Joycelyn in the slightest. She was a spoiled young lady-almost a demonic version of Octavia Mercer.

"I'm just a nobody, so I'm not in a position to control you," Joycelyn said with a smile. “But yesterday, all of you greeted me, didn't you? I know that I also have the right to manage family matters." She paused thoughtfully before continuing, "Now, letthink-how should I deal with a brat like you who's so bold and disrespectful? Should I tear your mouth apart or sew it shut with a needle?" Her smile never faltered as she fixed her gaze on Tanya.

The smile that never reached Joycelyn's eyes made Tanya's heart tighten. "You're threatening me!" Just moments ago, Tanya had been so arrogantly domineering. Now, she was taken aback by Joycelyn's cold, profound aura. Her eyes locked on Joycelyn's with a fierce glare.

"If you're tired of living, cand say it upfront." Ellison's cold, commanding tone cut through the tension as he approached from behind: Tanya's heart skipped a beat.

Tanya wasn't afraid of Joycelyn, but Ellison deeply intimidated her. “I...” She slowly turned around, her once domineering expression now visibly filled with fear as her arrogance melted away.

"If there's next time, just get out of my sight," Ellison said as he strode up to Tanya. His brows were furrowed with his gaze looked down on her with complete disdain.

anger, and Tanya, who had grown up being showered with attention, couldn't take the repeated humiliation. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears from anger.

She forcefully grabbed the Jellycat and threw it to the ground. Kicking it hard as she turned to leave, she sent it rolling out the door, spinning in a wide circle. Her spoiled, young lady temper was on full display.

Ellison's imposing presence was unyielding as he coldly commanded, "Stop!" His expression remained impassive, but his authority was unmistakable.

Tanya froze at his shout, too intimidated to take another step.

"Pick it up and apologize!" Ellison shouted again.

With her proud and defiant nature, Tanya looked down on Sandra and didn't regard Joycelyn as a threat either. Naturally, she refused to comply. She stood there, stubbornly holding her ground.

Hearing the commotion, Sibyl, who had been strolling in the garden, quickly hurried inside. Upon seeing her beloved daughter being scolded, she immediately rushed over and embraced her. "What happened? Ellison, why are you being so harsh to her? She's still just a child," she said, her voice full of concern.

"At 23, she's still a child? Is she a giant baby?" Ellison's sharp tonedidn't soften in front of his aunt.

Despite being an elder, Sibyl felt a tightness in her chest when Ellison's intense, piercing gaze swept over her.

Sibyl glanced at Joycelyn and Sandra, her expression darkening. Then, deliberately mockingly, she said, "If Tanya has offended Mrs. Grant, I'll apologize on her behalf.

"However, Mrs. Grant doesn't need to make things difficult for her family over an outsider After all, you're still Tanya's sister-in-law." Her words, though sounding like an apology, were laced with insincerity. At first, Joycelyn didn't want to engage, but when Sibyl stepped in front of her, she could no longer hold back. “I remember how worried you were yesterday about Cody," she said with a smile.

“I should learn from you and be more lenient. I'm pretty curious. Why are you and Reuben so protective of Cody? Is there sstory behind it?" Her words were light, but each one carried a hidden meaning.

Sibyl's eyes flickered with a sharp, startled reaction as if her tail had been stepped on. She immediately fell silent. She had underestimated Joycelyn, who had managed to uncover her secret.
