Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 270 Two hours later, Ellison received a call from Kingston.

Joycelyn's entire face tensed up as she held her breath, feeling as if her heartbeat was about to jump out of her throat Ellison listened silently the whole time. Midway through, he cast a deep glance at Joycelyn before replying, "I got it" After hanging up the phone, Ellison took a deep breath.

Joycelyn curled her fingers slightly, her lips parting as she softly asked, “What's the result?" Kingston replied, "They didn't find anything" "I knew it... It's not that easy to find." Joycelyn let out a short sigh, her emotions somewhat complicated.

Sandra had been searching for years, looking both domestically and abroad, yet she never found her biological parents. She couldn't possibly find hers overnight.

"It's fine. Things are good as they are now. If we find them, great. If not, I still have a home, I have you, Isolde, and sclose friends. That's already more than enough.” Her voice was gentle, carrying a rare sense of ease.

If this had happened before, learning she was an abandoned child might have sent her into a spiral of self-doubt. But now, Joycelyn was loved by so many people. She lived a comfortable, happy life, and her biological family no longer had such a profound impact on her.

"Alright. Let's go.” Joycelyn set down her coffee. She put on her sunglasses and linked arms with Ellison, ready to leave.

She remarked, "This Mason family hospital is really grand, like a luxury resort. Staying here could probably make a patient recover faster." Ellison said, "Indeed, the Mason family's private hospital is renowned worldwide. In this field, their family is truly unrivaled." "I didn't expect Dr. Mason to be so accomplished at such a young age. Joycelyn was full of praise when mentioning Kingston.

But just as she had barely finished speaking, Ellison suddenly stopped walking. "What's wrong?" she asked. "You're complimenting another man in front of me? I might as well buy out the Mason family tomorrow!" Ellison deliberately put on a stern face and let out a cold snort.

Joycelyn blinked in confusion. When she saw his slightly arrogant expression, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She said, "My mistake. In my eyes, you're the most capable man in the world." "Alright. Givea kiss, and I'll forgive you." As he spoke, Ellison lowered his handsface, his deep eyes locked onto hers.

Joycelyn quickly glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention before she puckered her lips and kissed him twice. "There, done." "Good. If you do it again next time, you'll have to make it up toat home." Ellison straightened up, but the arrogance on his face couldn't hide the tenderness in his eyes.

Just as William pulled the car up, and Joycelyn was about to get in, she suddenly noticed a figure in a checkered shirt quickly ducking behind a large tree. It looked like Liam.

1/3 72% +13) Chapter 270 "What's wrong?" Ellison followed her gaze.

Joycelyn shook her head. "Nothing, I must've seen wrong." Liam was Aaron's illegitimate son. A few days ago, he was supposed to acknowledge his father, but he never showed up. Now, he was probably here to visit Aaron, who had been bitten by a snake.

Joycelyn got into the car. Before getting in himself, Ellison glanced in the sdirection she had been looking. He didn't see anyone, just the corner of a coat fluttering in the wind.

Without saying anything, he got into the car and instructed William to drive back to the Grant family estate. As the Rolls-Royce drove off, Liam stepped out from behind the tree. Watching the car disappear into the distance, he merely pushed up his black-framed glasses. His face was devoid of any emotion.

In the ward, Aaron knew Liam was coming today, so he had given Lily specific instructions. "When your brother arrives, tell him that my leg won't recover." "Don't worry, Dad. I know what to do," Lily responded, though her expression was anything but pleasant. Not long after, Liam entered the room with sflowers.

He was never much of a talker, and he didn't greet Aaron as his father. After setting the flowers down, he was about to leave. "My son, aren't you even a little curious about how I got injured?" Aaron spoke up, seeing how indifferent Liam was.

Liam glanced at his bandaged leg but remained silent.

Aaron explained, "It was all because of Joycelyn. That venomous snake was supposed to bite her. But because I knew you liked her, I risked my life to take the bite for her. The doctors say my leg will never fully recover." Hearing Aaron's stern tone, Liam's expression shifted slightly. He was clearly worried.

"Is she okay?" As soon as Liam asked, he realized he shouldn't have.

Just earlier, he had seen her with Ellison at the hospital. Liam felt even more inadequate.

"Get srest. I'll visit again when I have time." Not wanting to stay any longer, he turned to leave.

But before he could step out, Lily blocked his way and shut the door behind him. “Liam, we need to talk.”

She had shed the submissive demeanor she usually wore around m the Grant family. Now she had returned to her former arrogant self. Sitting in a chair, she crossed her legs and shot him a knowing look, signaling for him to sit down.

She said, "The Apex Group has already collapsed. Ruby used the scandal to gain fame, and now she's кет just a stepping stone for us. The Grant Group values you highly now.

We need you so our family can rise again." "What does that have to do with me? I can't help you." Liam rejected her outright, assuming they wanted him to steal core technology.

"You can, and in fact, you're the only one who can!" Lily's tone was firm.

"Because you carry Grant blood. You Jyeya share the sbloodline as Ellison, so you are just as capable as he is! Joycelynmarried Ellison because he's rich and powerful. If you were just as successful, she would have chosen you instead." Lily added, "You two have known each other since high school. You were even desk mates. You and she go way back." 10:26 Tue, Chapter 270 Lily's words were deliberate and persuasive.

Liam's hands clenched into fists on his knees, trying to avoid the topic.

+13 But the image of Joycelyn kissing Ellison earlier kept replaying in his mind. He even imagined replacing Ellison's face with his own...

Realizing he had lost control of his thoughts, Liam abruptly stood up. "Enough!" "I... I'll think about it." His voice was rushed and tense. He was clearly wavering, but unlike before, he didn't reject the idea outright.
