Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 266 Joycelyn was feeling a bit down, but when she saw Ellison's scheming smirk, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Luckily, I have you with me," she said, her voice choking up as she spoke. There was a soft, childlike tone in her voice, making her seem pitiful and fragile.

"That's also because you cooperated well. Otherwise, how could we have settled everything so quickly?" Ellison put away his phone and reached out to pinch her slightly chubby cheeks.

He added, "I've already made an appointment with Kingston. We'll go now to get your blood type registered and screened to see if we can find your biological parents." "There's no rush!" Joycelyn quickly grabbed his arm with both hands and shook her head, refusing.

Having just escaped from an exploitative family, she hadn't fully processed everything yet. Or perhaps, the sudden revelation that she had been a foundling left her feeling lost. She wasn't ready to face her true origins just yet.

Ellison lowered his head and cupped her face gently in his broad palms. He asked in a soft voice, "What's wrong?" "Nothing... I just want to go out for a nice meal today. I also want to go on a date. Is that okay?" Joycelyn wanted to shift her emotions, so she took his hand down and wrapped her arms around it.

"Alright, we'll go now." Just then, the bodyguard drove the car up. Ellison held Joycelyn's hand and helped her into the car.

As their car drove off, Bellina and Tanya finally arrived.

"They left. Should we still follow them?" Tanya asked, looking to Bellina for a decision.

Bellina was checking her phone. She glanced at the car disappearing into the distance before looking down again at a message on her screen.

She said, "Not for now. I heard that your poor sister-in-law's mother is hospitalized here. Let's go check it out." "How do you know that?" Tanya was curious.

Bellina explained, "Look, there's a trending news notification on my phone. Joycelyn has quite a bit of attention online. The headline is calling her mother 'The most beautiful school belle's mother." "Wow, Bellina, you're so smart! But this kind of ordinary hospital is full of bacteria. Can we not go inside?" Tanya wrinkled her nose, clearly disliking the idea of stepping into a public hospital.

"Let's see how badly her mom got beaten up. Best if we can record it and show it to everyone in the Grant family." Bellina had a naturally competitive nature and carried an unfounded sense of superiority.

Tanya said, "Alright. But we don't even know which ward her mother is in." "Just ask around, and we'll find out." Bellina parked the car by the hospital entrance and strutted into the lobby. After asking around for a bit, they managed to locate Iris's ward.

With arrogant expressions, the two of them walked up to the door, pulled out their phones, and prepared to start recording.

Inside the ward, Lyra's shrill, smug voice filled the air. Phineas and his brothers were drinking beer and cracking snacks, as if they had turned the hospital room into a roadside food stall.

"We've severed ties with Joycelyn. The house will finally be peaceful. Once the property gets demolished, we'll get more than a million dollars. We can lie back and retire comfortably!" Lyra laughed so hard that her rolls of fat trembled.

1/3 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 266 Bellina couldn't hold back her reaction when she heard this.

She snapped, "What? How could you cut ties with Joycelyn? Are you idiots? Do you have any idea how much she's worthe Way more than millions of dollars! You must be complete morons!" Furious, Bellina pointed at them and cursed.

She had initially cto witness Joycelyn being entangled with her unbearable family, hoping it would make the Grant family despise her and ruin her reputation. But these fools had severed ties with her.

It seemed that Joycelyn was quite ruthless when it cto securing wealth and status.

"Where did this foul-mouthed brat cfrom?" Phineas's smile instantly vanished as he turned to glare at Bellina.

"We're relatives from Joycelyn's husband's side." Bellina made up a story, guessing that Joycelyn and Ellison had never revealed their identities to this family. She didn't want to expose it, fearing that the public might find out Joycelyn was Ellison's wife.

However, she still wanted to provoke the Mercer family into causing trouble, so she pretended to be a relative from the husband's side.

Tanya said, "That's right, my last nis Grant too. Joycelyn is my sister-in-law. She's rich now, so why would you cut ties with her? You should be clinging to her! She could give you a lot of money. You better not let her go!" Lyra spat on the floor. "That wretched girl must have married into a greedy family. Even her husband's relatives are eyeing our demolition payout!" "You disgusting fat hag! Who cares about your measly money?" Tanya wrinkled her nose in disdain, looking utterly contemptuous.

Lyra was completely enraged by this remark. She charged forward, grabbing both of them by their hair and yanking hard.

Lyra snapped, "You little brats! You dare to covet our demolition payout? Get lost!" Bellina and Tanya's eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn't believe someone actually dared to pull their hair so roughly.

Before they could even react, Lyra started slapping them, each hit landing firmly on their bodies. "Outrageous! A bastard child dares to claim a share of family's assets? And now even her in-laws want a piece? I'll beat you two to death!* Our Bellina shrieked miserably, feelin utterly defenseless, like a helpless little chick with nowhere to hide.

The room filled with screams as Lyra, a strong rural woman, delivered slaps so forceful they left red handprints. "Let go of me! Do you even know who I am?" Bellina screamed at the top of her lungs.

Her hair was a mess, her expensive designer clothes were wrinkled and disheveled, and she looked completely humiliated.

Unfortunately, the Mercer family saw them only as greedy outsiders trying to take their money. They despised them, so they let Lyra continue her assault.

"Let go of me! My mother won't forgive you for this!" Tanya cried, her arms swollen from the Beating. She couldn't escape, so she could only shout in desperation.

"I don't care who you are! If your parents won't teach you a lesson do it for them! Stop coveting things that don't belong to you!" Lyra kept yanking their hair, scolding them through gritted teeth.

When speople heard the commotion and cto check, Lyra just smiled and told them she was disciplining her disobedient family members. Hearing it was a family matter, no one interfered. 2/3 Chapter 266 The two of them only managed to escape after enduring a brutal beating.

"That wretched Joycelyn, I won't let her get away with this!" Bellina was in complete disarray, her teeth clenched in fury.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life.
