Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 264 Joycelyn said, "But in a few days, it's the anniversary of your parents' passing." "I'll cback then." Ellison showed no hesitation.

"I'll inform Grandma, and then we'll leave," Ellison reassured Joycelyn, calming her unease.

"Okay." Joycelyn nodded, standing quietly.

Although she felt a little anxious, with Ellison by her side, she no longer felt the fear she used to.

She turned around, gazing at Ellison's tall and broad back. Her eyes were filled with tenderness only for him.

* 273% About two minutes later, Ellison cout. "Let's go." He instructed William to start the car, preparing to head back.

As the car stopped in front of the garden, Ellison helped Joycelyn into the vehicle. Just then, Bellina spotted them from a distance and immediately walked over.

"I was just about to stay at your house, and now you're leaving? Am I skind of plague? Why are you avoiding me?" Bellina crossed her arms behind her back, tilting her face up arrogantly as she questioned Ellison. Ellison turned his gaze to her, his eyes filled with cold disdain. "Who gave you permission to stay?" Bellina was startled by the hostility in his eyes. She swallowed nervously, but still tried to maintain her playful tone. "Guess who?" Ellison withdrew his gaze, got into the car, and slammed the door. Bellina flinched in fear.

"Hey! Don't you have any manners? I'm a guest, after all!" She pouted, her big eyes welling up with unshed tears.

She looked exactly like a spoiled child who would cry when she didn't get candy. Except this was the adult version.

"Drive." Ellison was too lazy to entertain her antics.

Joycelyn glanced out the window at Bellina, who stood with her hands on her hips, fuming in frustration. She looked completely fearless and full of arrogant entitlement.

Joycelyn muttered, "The Schultz father and son seem quite normal, so why is this one... kinda stupid?" Bellina knew they were a married couple yet still shamelessly forced her presence on them. Her manipulative tendencies were extreme.

At first, Joycelyn thought Bellina was just spoiled. Now, she found her utterly unreasonable.

But with Bellina's identity as the daughter of the richest family, people always had to show her respect and indulge her behavior.

"That's why spoiling a child should have limits. This is what happens when they're spoiled into complete idiocy." Ellison spoke with a cold tone.

If it weren't for the fact that Bellina's father had specially cto pay respects to his grandfather, Ellison would have already thrown her out without hesitation.

Ellison said, "I've arranged for the best doctors at the hospital to prepare for the surgery. By the twe arrive, it should be completed." "Okay," Joycelyn responded softly.

1/4 10:25 Tue, Chapter 264 Bellina watched as the car drove away. Frustrated, she stomped her feet and immediately grabbed Tanya's hand. "Tanya! Where are Ellison and his wife going? Go get a car. We're following them!" Tanya looked troubled. "Just the two of us?" "Yes! If my dad and my brother find out, they definitely won't letgo. Hurry, get the car!" Bellina ordered Tanya matter-of-factly.

Tanya, eager to be her sister-in-law, always complied with her every request. However, Tanya was also cunning. She had a backup plan. She said, "I'm a new driver. I don't dare to drive yet." "Then get a car, and I'll drive!" Bellina was relentless. The more Ellison ignored her, the more her arrogance pushed her to conquer him.

Meanwhile, at the hospital. Iris was in critical condition, yet the Mercer family was deliberately delaying treatment, refusing to sign consent forms or approve a blood transfusion.

Unwilling to spend the money, Octavia cup with an excuse. “We don't need a blood bag. Her biological daughter is on the way, and she can donate blood. Blood from a direct relative is always better. Just wait a little longer." "The patient has lost too much blood. If we don't operate soon, she might not make it!" A doctor's urgent voice rang out.

"We understand, but we are just relatives. Her biological daughter needs to make the decision." Octavia's aunt, Lyra, dismissed the concern.

The doctor urged, “Then at least pay for the surgery first." "We don't have any money. We'll wait for her daughter to cand pay.” Lyra said as she shoved the doctor and nurses aside.

Iris vaguely heard them talking about Joycelyn donating blood. With the oxygen mask over her face, she struggled to breathe, her weak voice trembling with fear. "No... No blood donation... No..." There was a deep terror in her frail words. She was afraid that if they drew blood, the truth would cout. Octavia heard this and kept telling the doctor, “See? She is still conscious. Let's wait a little longer and let her daughter donate blood." As she spoke, she pushed the medical team out, completely indifferent to Iris's well-being.

It wasn't until the hospital director received a call from higher-ups that he personally stepped in to take control, immediately arranging for the medical team to proceed with the surgery.

When the doctors tried to wheel Iris's hospital bed away, the Mercer family members forcefully blocked them, refusing to let her be moved.

The hospital had to dispatch security personnel to restrain the family before they could finally push Iris into the operating room.

Lyra spent hours cursing, accusing the hospital of performing the surgery just to make money. She even threatened that if Iris died, the hospital would have to compensate them.

By the tJoycelyn arrived, the surgery had already been completed.

Just as she reached the door of the hospital room, she heard Lyra's sharp voice from inside.

"Iris, you're finally awake. Your surgery has cost a fortune. Your daughter is useless! None of us have any money. We'll get 10:25 Tue, 11 Mar 0 Chapter 264 discharged tomorrow and cause a scene to get more compensation for your treatment." Lyra wasted no tstarting her speech as soon as Iris woke up.

"Oh? That's funny. Because I heard from the doctor that you never intended to save her in the first place. As the door swung open, Joycelyn and Ellison stepped into view, their faces ice-cold.

On the way there, Joycelyn had already learned that these people initially refused to pay for the surgery and were prepared to let Iris die.

"If it weren't for us paying for the surgery, would she even be alive? You ungrateful wretch!" Phineas pointed a finger at Joycelyn, shouting with a vicious expression.

Ellison's face darkened. His narrowed eyes emitted a dangerous aura, as chilling as the gaze of the Grim Reaper. Phineas suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Though he was used to being an overbearing patriarch at home, he still felt uneasy under Ellison's gaze. But his stubborn arrogance kept him from backing down. Ellison didn't bother with words. He walked up to Phineas, grabbed his pointing finger, and snapped it.

Phineas howled in pain.

"The hospital director covered the surgery costs on my behalf. You're a useless man living off women. You have the nerve to talk like that?" Ellison shoved Phineas aside.

As soon as he let go, Phineas's finger twisted into an unnatural shape. It was horrifying.

Although Octavia found Ellison excessively handsome, she was terrified by his ruthlessness. She quickly rushed forward to help her father. "This is assault! I'll call the police on you!" "Before you do that, why don't you deal with your family's eviction first?" Ellison dusted off his hands nonchalantly.

He continued, "Joycelyn's father bought that house. When her mother married into the Mercer family, the property title was changed. The medical expenses have already been covered, but the house will be taken back.

"If it needs to be divided, half will go to my mother-in-law for her retirement, and the other half rightfully belongs to my wife." His voice was steady and cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

Upon hearing this, the entire Mercer family exploded.

"That's my damn house! Unbelievable! I raised you! But you've run off with someone else and are even trying to take my house? I should've just strangled you when you were a kid!" Phineas was enraged. He clutched his injured hand and roared at Iris. Lyra and her husband also panicked, fearing they'd lose their share of the eviction compensation. They immediately backed Phineas, hurling insults at Joycelyn, calling her an ungrateful traitor.

Joycelyn, however, was completely indifferent. If she got the money back, she would donate it to charity instead of giving it to these scumbags.

Octavia started persuading Iris.

"Mom, when you were sick, we were the ones by your side. She married off and disappeared! She never took care of you, and now she's after our house! If we lose the house, how are we supposed to survive?"

Iris hesitated, then removed her oxygen mask and pointed angrily at Joycelyn. "You heartless ingrate! That house is mine! It has nothing to do with you! I was stupid to raise an ungrateful brat like you. I would've been better off picking you up!" Joycelyn's face froze in shock. "What? I was... picked up?" "That's right! You were found in a trash bin! And now you want my house? Keep dreaming!" For the sake of the Mercer family, Iris completely tore off any remaining pretense, revealing the truth.
