For a moment, she thought of Sandra, But Sandra had been abandoned at a hospital. If the Studiz family's daughter was de exons to go on and lay back then, the timelines probably didn't match.

Joycelyn lowered her eyes, deep in thought. When she looked up, she found tillison's eyes fixed on her, filled with so much tenderness it felt like it was about to overflow.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Joycelyn smiled, "Why are you looking atlike that "Because you're beautiful" Ellison smiled.

He withdrew his gaze and shifted it to Richard, who was sitting next to Isolde Their facial features bore sresemblance, but his wife's features were even more exquisite and beautiful Just as they were about to start the meal, Sandra walked in. "I heard Ellison almost pulled a knife on someone just now? I missed it!" Sandra looked helpless, "Where were you?" "I was climbing, a tree. Guess what I saw?" Sandra pulled out her phone and played a video.

The shaky screen zoomed in. Although the auwas unclear, the footage showed Lily getting slapped by Sibyl In the end, it was Lily who left with arrogance, while Sibyl was so furious she was practically losing her mind. Then cthe real highlight.

Reuben appeared. He was about to reach out and embrace Sibyl, but just as someone passed by, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.

Joycelyn glanced at Sandra and silently gave her a thumbs-up. Sandra blinked her sparkling eyes.

"Keep this for now," Joycelyn told her.

Sandra replied, "Got it. I heard that Tanya is going to be sent to the Grant Group headquarters for training by her mother. No idea which department she'll end up in." 1/4 10:24 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 263 "Where's that annoying brat?" Sandra looked around Sibyl's side but didn't see Tanya.

Joycelyn replied, "Not sure. Let's eat first." Sandra didn't see Tanya but did spot Richard. Seeing his refined and composed face, her eyes lit up.

She glanced at him several times.

She said, "Joycelyn, based on genetics, your dad should be way more handsthan that guy." "What?" Joycelyn hadn't expected such a random comment and also glanced at Richard. ☐.73% +18) Though he was middle-aged, he had a dignified and refined look, free from the greasy aura common in men his age. Instead, he exuded a sense of steadiness and warmth, shaped by years of experience.

"Only someone who had Ellison's level of looks when he was young could have a daughter as gorgeous as you." Sandra was still thinking about Joycelyn's family photo from before.

Joycelyn chuckled. “Keep your voice down. Ellison doesn't like being described as a 'dad-type husband. He has age anxiety." “I heard that!” Ellison glanced over at the two girls from the corner of his eye.

At the grand dining table, the dishes rotated slowly. Sibyl was the first to break the silence, proactively engaging Richard in conversation, starting with their families' industries and possible future collaborations.

After a while, she shifted the conversation to more personal matters, asking whether Richard's son was married or engaged.

"Shamefully, both my sons are focused on their careers and haven't settled down yet," Richard replied.

Sibyl's smile grew even brighter. "How old are they? Our family has many young ladies who are still single. If there's a good match, a marriage alliance between our families would be a great way to strengthen both sides." Richard smiled politely, remaining composed. "My eldest son, Timothy, is 30. My second son is 28, and my youngest daughter is 23." Even for wealthy families, marriage and children were still major concerns for parents.

Sibyl said, "They're in their prime! My daughter is also 23. She was just chatting with your youngest daughter earlier, and they got along well. They went out together just now. You should meet her later, Mr. Schultz." At Sibyl's words, the other members of the Grant family immediately understood what was going on.

It could be a prestigious marriage. Someone as dominant as Sibyl would never let the opportunity slip away. Of course, she would prioritize her beloved daughter first.

Joycelyn sat beside Ellison. When she lifted her gaze, she noticed Lily's face was flushed on one side. Hearing Richard's words, her eyes flickered with thought.

She immediately nudged Sandra beside her, signaling her to watch the unfold.

The arrogant heiress who had once offered her 1.5 million dollars to divorce was now being humiliated even by young girls from the Grant family.

If this woman ever climbed to power, she would undoubtedly be ruthless.

Joycelyn said, "I just saw the second son of the Schultz family. He's the stype as Haddy. If it weren't for his annoying little sister, I'd have matched you with him." "Joycelyn!" Sandra rolled her eyes so hard they nearly reached the ceiling.

2/4 10:24 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 263 Joycelyn found Sandra's puffed-up, indignant look incredibly adorable.

Just as lunch ended, Joycelyn's phone rang. She saw it was Lucy calling. Without hesitation, she picked up. "Hello, Lucy, what's wrong?" 73% +18)

On the other end, Lucy's voice was heavy. "Your old neighborhood is being demolished Your mom and the others, think the compensation is too low and got into a fight with the developers. She got hit on the head and is in the hospital now." She continued, "The Mercer family refuses to sign the surgery consent form. They're looking for you everywhere.

Even reporters have been called. It's about to turn into a mess.” Hearing Lucy's words, Joycelyn felt an invisible hand tighten around her chest, making it hard to breathe.

She thought she had escaped the shadows of her past, but those toxic people and their troubles still clung to her like ghosts.

"I got it. Don't let them drag you into this. I'll handle it,” she said, steadying herself.

"I went to check things out, but it seems like Octavia and her father are deliberately stalling refusing to sign. Probably to demand a bigger payout." Lucy had been keeping tabs on the situation and had gone to see it firsthand. After hanging up, Joycelyn received a video from Lucy. Her mother was lying in a hospital bed, blood covering her head, barely conscious.

She got up and quickly walked to the garden outside, trying to calm herself.

In a quiet corner of the garden, Lily was on a call, speaking in a hushed om voice. "Divorce? Are you guys crazy for money? Stop calling me. If your want 1.5 million dollars, go find someone else to give it to you." So, Octavia wasn't just after compensation and demolition fees. She also wanted the money Lily had once offered Joycelyn to force a divorce.

It was as if she was afraid that once Joycelyn's mother was gone, she would have no other excuse to squeeze money out of her. It was tto put an end to all of this.

Joycelyn exhaled a long, suppressed breath.

Lily hadn't expected Joycelyn to be standing behind her. She quickly put away her phone and lowered her head, walking past Joycelyn hurriedly.

Joycelyn asked, "It was Octavia calling, wasn't it? Still eyeing that 1.5 million dollars?" Lily's already swollen face flushed with shame. "No, you must've misheard." Keeping her head down, she walked away quickly.

Ellison stepped outside and saw Joycelyn standing stiffly in the garden. He approached her, placed his hands on her shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" "My mom's in trouble. I need to go back. Honey, how can I reclaim the house I was forced to sign away?" Joycelyn's delicate face showed a hint of sadness. It was clear she wasn't in a good mood.

Ellison replied, "A lawsuit should do it." Joycelyn replied, "Alright, helpfind a lawyer. I want to take back the house my father left me!" Ellison's deep eyes locked onto her. "The Mercer family house? Your father left it to you?" "Yes. After my mom remarried, the ownership was transferred to that man." Joycelyn lowered her gaze. Just talking about it 3/4 Chapter 263 left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Ellison said firmly, "Then we're taking it back. Let's go. We'll handle it right now." ☐
