Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 268 Meanwhile, at the hospital entrance. Bellina and Tanya had just been beaten up, their anger bubbling with nowhere to vent.

As they stormed out of the hospital, Bellina was still debating whether to blow the matter up or just swallow the humiliation and get back at those people later.

Blinded by rage, she pressed the gas pedal and rear-ended a car.

The driver of the other vehicle was mad. But instead of stopping, Bellina arrogantly rammed into the car again, completely wrecking it.

Once the footage hit the internet, the news spread like wildfire in the local headlines. “A wealthy heiress driving a Bentley bullies ordinary citizen in broad daylight!" Netizens wasted no tdigging into their identities.

Two hours later, Joycelyn finally checked her phone and saw the news.

At a cozy restaurant, she and Ellison carried the lingering scent of a warm shower. Her delicate face still bore traces of post- bath softness, a faint flush adding to her charm.

As she scrolled through the group chat, Lucy and Selene had already shared the latest gossip.

These two were practically glued to the internet, never missing a single trending topic.

Joycelyn had just clicked on the link when the page refreshed, displaying a "content removed" notice.

"Hey! Bellina and Tanya got exposed online. They deliberately crashed into another car, and things got messy." Joycelyn tried opening a few videos, only to find they had all been taken down.

Ellison placed a glass of fresh juice in front of her, bending over slightly to glance at her screen.

"They deserved it. Have they been arrested yet?" he asked, completely unconcerned.

Joycelyn tapped a few more links, but none worked. With no updates available, she set her phone down. "Not sure. Maybe you should turn your phone on and call Grandma back?" "If she really needed me, she would've called you instead. Since she hasn't, it means she's just going through the motions. By now, the Schultz father and son have probably arrived, so there's no need to worry." Ellison ruffled Joycelyn's hair affectionately. "Let's eat first." "Okay." Joycelyn sent two quick replies in the chat before putting her phone away and focusing on dinner.

It wasn't just Joycelyn who missed the full video of Bellina crashing her Bentley into another car.

Over at another place, Octavia was also scrolling through her phone when she caught only the first three seconds of the clip.

She had been lounging around, lazily browsing the news. But the moment she saw that woman in the video, she shot up.

"That woman!" Octavia quickly exited and tried reloading the video. But it was gone.

But she had seen it. It was Bellina, the swoman who had stormed into the hospital room earlier, saying she was Joycelyn's husband's relatives.

Octavia asked, "Hey! Open your phones! Who exactly were those two women we fought off earlier?" 1/3 73% (13) Chapter 268 A creeping sense of unease settled over her. Grabbing her father's phone, she searched again. Still, she didn't find the video.

She did not give up. But no matter how many times she refreshed or how many different phones she used, the full video had completely vanished from the internet.

"Octavia, what's wrong? What happened?" Lyra asked.

"I have a really bad feeling about this. The news just said that the most arrogant one of them drives a Bentley. And they're supposedly related to Joycelyn's pretty-boy husband,” Octavia said.

Then, she recalled Ellison's imposing aura, his effortless dominance, and the cold nobility he carried. "Wait... does this mean Joycelyn actually married a rich man?" she muttered, frowning deeply.

Lyra, who had initially been concerned, burst into laughter the moment she heard this. "You fool! Is she smart enough to land a rich husband? Don't overthink it.

"She's just clinging to us for a share of the family's compensation money. If her husband was rich, why would he let her drive scheap old Honda?" "But the woman in that video was driving a Bentley! A Bentley worth several hundred thousand dollars!" Octavia ignored her mother's words, her voice trembling with excitement.

The most expensive car she had ever sat in was barely worth 80 thousand dollars.

"If they were that rich, do you think she'd have just stood there and letbeat her up? And it's been hours. If they had power, wouldn't they have cafter us by now?" Lyra grinned smugly.

However, Lyra didn't know Bellina would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. A few days later, she would send people after Lyra, breaking her bones and landing her straight in the hospital.

***** The next day, Ellison arranged for Kingston to take Joycelyn to the most reputable hospital for a blood sample collection. The goal was to enter her DNA into the database and search for a match with her biological parents. Just as Kingston was about to leave with the blood samples, Ellison called out to him, instructing him in a firm tone. "Keep this matter confidential for now. I don't want her to suffer more emotional distress." Kingston, always calm and composed, was a meticulous man. He nodded slightly and replied, "Don't worry. I'll do my best and keep it confidential." Ellison said, "Alright. Go ahead."

As soon as Kingston left, Ellison immediately walked over to Joycelyn, his gaze e filled with concern as he looked at the spot on her arm where the blood had been drawn. “How do feel? Does it hurt?" you "I'm fine," Joycelyn replied, not paying attention to the minor pain from the needle. Instead, she was feeling nervous about the results of the search.

"Typically, blood samples are stored ays also Kingston's in the police database, but Kingston's hospital is also connected to that system. This way, it stays more discreet." As Ellison explained, he kept his eyes on Joycelyn. His deep, penetrating gaze seemed to look straight into her soul.

Joycelyn had been anxious, but under the warmth of his affectionate gaze, her uneasiness gradually faded.

"I understand." She smiled gently. No matter who her biological parents were, she would face the truth calmly.

"Drink smilk. I'll take you somewhere nice for lunch later.m Ellison unwrapped the straw for her and held the milk up to her lips, feeding it to her himself. After they had rested for a while, the two of them stepped out of the lounge. Then, Joycelyn caught sight of a familiar figure.

Richard had just stepped out of the elevator and was heading straight toward the blood sample testing area.

Coincidentally, he bumped into Kingston. He asked nervously, "Doctor, I want to check if there's any new information from the blood samples I saved previously."
