Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

No Ads Chapter 261 Chapter 261 Ellison narrowed his eyes, watching his wife smile mischievously. He couldn't help but smile faintly as well.

Just from a casual listen, he could tell there was something unusual about this conversation.

No wonder those two had been whispering to each other in secret these past two days. He had thought they were just chatting about typical girl stuff.

Joycelyn noticed the deep look in Ellison's eyes. She shot him a glance, signaling him to hurry up and take care of the matter.

Ellison cleared his throat twice and spoke in a low voice.

"Sandra was raised by my grandmother since she was little. I see her as my own sister, If I ever hear words like 'outsider or anything else from you again, get out of this household." That was the final warning.

Intimidated by Ellison's authority, Tanya gave Sandra a half-hearted apology and stormed off.

Sibyl didn't linger either. With an unpleasant expression, she also left.

At the doorway, a slightly older girl appeared. First, she was shoved aside by the furious Tanya. Then, when Sibyl passed by, she gave her a sharp glare.

"What's wrong with Tanya?" the girl asked timidly, following behind Sibyl.

Joycelyn couldn't be bothered to care. People always resorted to conflict with each other. The Grant family was too big, with tangled relationships everywhere.

What they had witnessed today was just a small glimpse of Sandra being bullied. This could have happened many times behind closed doors.

"Aren't you good at fighting? Why didn't you fight back?" Ellison walked up to Joycelyn, looking down at Sandra, whose eyes were brimming with tears. He lightly flicked her forehead with his finger. "I've got your back. What's there to be afraid of?" Joycelyn replied, "She's a Grant. I am your wife, and she still dares to givethat attitude. Let alone Sandra. The people in your family are just wolves in sheep's clothing." Day after day, the never ended.

Sandra threw herself into Joycelyn's arms, wiping her tears.

"Get her ten of the Jellycat. Right now," Joycelyn ordered Ellison, pointing at the plush toy that had rolled outside the villa.

"Yes. I'll have them delivered immediately." Ellison didn't dare to say more.

"It's okay now. I've got your back," Joycelyn comforted Sandra, patting her back like soothing a child.

"Did you notice anything interesting at hearlier?" She deliberately changed the topic.

Sandra said, "Oh, yeah! Lily and Sibyl met in private. They were talking about something secretive. I think Sibyl got caught doing something shady, and Lily got sdirt on her.

"Then somehow, it turned into a standoff where they both ended up holding secrets over each other. Something to do with Mr. Jamir Grant and the housekeeper." Sandra quickly perked up at the gossip, her sadness forgotten.

1/3 Chapter 261 073% "What kind of shady business?" Ellison had been making a phone call, but now his attention was back on them. Neither Joycelyn nor Sandra had expected him to overhear.

"Well? Even I'm being left out now?" Ellison spun his phone in his fingers. His expression was serious, but his curiosity was obvious. He was eager to join in.

"It's... not something that's easy to say out loud." Joycelyn pursed her lips, looking a little guilty.

"Oh, I'm gonna go wash my face real quick." Sandra instantly found an excuse, making a quick escape.

She thought, 'Good luck, Joycelyn! If this goes south, you're on your own!' Joycelyn thought, "That brat!' "There's nothing. Can I skip lunch today? I want speace and quiet." Joycelyn tried to slip away, but Ellison reached out and caught her by the neck. Then, he stepped closer. "Mrs. Grant, are you keeping secrets fromnow?" Joycelyn replied, "No. We're a team." "Then why are you hiding things from me? What, thinking of going solo?" Ellison pulled Joycelyn into his arms, clearly not letting go until she spilled the truth.

She struggled for a while but couldn't shake him off. Finally, she gave in. "Fine! This morning's events didn't sit right with me, so I paid extra attention. Turns out Sibyl and Reuben seem to have something going on." Joycelyn whispered, afraid of being overheard.

Ellison frowned and said, "I never noticed that before. I only know that her so-called 'sister' was a child she had when she was younger and rebellious. She raised her under her mother's name." "Whoa, her backstory is wild!" Joycelyn was shocked again.

Ellison replied, "It's not well known. She's got a strong personality, and not many dare bring it up." "Then..." Joycelyn blinked rapidly, obviously hinting at something.

"If she suffered a setback in front of you, then there's definitely something fishy going on." Ellison raised a brow, looking more excited than Joycelyn.

"Why do I feel like you're more excited about this than I am?" Joycelyn eyed him up and down.

"If this turns out to be true, you can expect your assets to gain a few extra zeros." Ellison ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek.

At this point, Joycelyn had no idea what this scheming man was planning. She didn't think too much about it.

By lunchtime, the news that Richard was staying for the meal caused a huge stir in the Grant family. After all, he was a billionaire from overseas. If anyone managed to build a connection with him, it would be monumental.

Smembers of the Grant family, who had originally planned to leave, decided to stay. Even those who had already driven out two miles turned back.

The moment Bellina stepped into the Grant family estate, her face darkened.

And when Ellison walked in with Joycelyn, her expression only grew worse.

Seated nearby was Tanya. The two were similar in age and equally displeased with Joycelyn, so they quickly hit it off.

"I accidentally pinched my finger earlier. Mrs. Grant, could you pull out my chair for me? Pellin's smile remained as sweet as ever, making it hard for people to refuse.

She was doing it on purpose, treating Joycelyn like a servant. The other members of the Grant family didn't say a word. merely watching, waiting to see Joycelyn embarrassed

"Oh? Are you injured, Miss Schultz? Shall I call a maid to feed you? How m about that? Joycelyn remamed seated, pressing Ellison's hand down to stop him from interfering, choosing to handle the spoiled heiress herself. "Mrs. Grant, how considerate. I wouldn't mind if you fedyourself Bellina tilted her head, her eyes full of provocation.

Bellina's smile instantly froze.
