Chapter 271 Chapter 271 625 Joycelyn had been in a bad mood for the past few days. Worried that she might feel bored, Ellison had Leon bring back the two little dogs to cheer her up.
That day was the memorial of Ellison's parents. The couple returned to the Grant family estate to pay their respects.
Leon conveniently tagged along as their driver. He used the excuse that he couldn't bear to part with the puppies, As soon as the car stopped in front of the villa, Sandra rushed out upon hearing the engine, "My gorgeous sweetheart, you're finally back! Life was so boring without you," She ran toward Joycelyn the moment she stepped out of the car.
At the stime, Leon got out as well.
The moment Sandra saw that annoying man, she abruptly withdrew her outstretched arms. "What are you doing here? She had been all smiles a moment ago, but she rolled her eyes after seeing Leon.
"Not your business," Leon replied just as arrogantly. He went to the trunk, pulled out the dog crates, and let the puppies run free.
"Oh, so you're just a glorified dog nanny. That makes sense." Sandra's sharp tongue was as unforgiving as ever, but her mood lifted the moment she saw Lucky and Rocky.
"Sandra, you're like my long-lost sister. Your vicious tongue is just like someone else's," Joycelyn teased, her clear, bright eyes glancing at Ellison.
She wondered if their future child would be as sharp-tongued.

Sandra petted the two fluffy pups before latching onto Joycelyn's arm with a pout. Joycelyn hadn't returned hrecently because Bellina had been staying at the Grant estate.
Sibyl seemed intent on marrying Tanya into the Schultz family, so she had been exceptionally hospitable to Bellina, providing her with food, lodging, and constant care.
Sibyl was trying to cultivate a bond between her precious daughter and her potential future sister-in-law. Just as Sandra finished complaining, a head peeked out from the second floor of the neighboring villa. Upon spotting them, the person quickly disappeared inside and cdownstairs.
"Hello, Mr. Grant! It's been a while." Bellina appeared, dressed in a delicate, bright camisole, her smile sweet as she ran toward Ellison.
If someone didn't know better, they might've mistaken her for his girlfriend.
Ellison's eyes narrowed slightly. Without hesitation, he turned to Leon and said in a low voice, "Leon, release the dogs. Now." Leon was stunned for two seconds before quickly calling the puppies over. "Go." "Perfect timing. I've been watching dog training tutorials the past few days. They've been working well." With a simple hand gesture from Leon, the black-and-white pups charged straight toward the approaching Bellina.
The two little puppies, chubby but fierce in posture, stood their ground. They growled and barked at Bellina in an adorably aggressive manner.
1/3 Chapter 271 "Where did these ugly little mutts cfrom?" Bellina screeched. She was too scared to move forward.
Ignoring the dogs, she turned to Joycelyn, her tone suddenly switching to one of feigned sincerity.
She said, "Mrs. Grant, I cto apologize to you. Last twas all my fault. I even brought you a gift, a limited- edition designer handbag from my exclusive brand. It would suit you perfectly." "Thank you for your kind offer, Miss Schultz, but I cannot accept such an expensive gift without merit." Joycelyn maintained a calm expression as she politely declined.
Standing beside her, Sandra nrade a playful face. "She's even worse than a bootlicker. She even called you Mrs. Grant!" "Why are you speaking such brutal truth?" Joycelyn lowered her voice and whispered.
Ellison glanced at Joycelyn, noticing a small trinket hanging on her. He then stepped into the villa.
Before leaving, he reminded Sandra, "Don't tire out Joycelyn." Sandra frowned. "I just hugged her a little. How could that tire her out?" "You forget how ridiculously strong you are? You once punched someone so hard they flew up and got stuck in a tree." Leon deliberately emphasized.
Hearing this, Bellina's delicate face froze in horror, unable to maintain her usual composed expression. Seeing her stunned, Tanya, who was standing behind her, also hesitated.
"Dirty dog! Why did you lick my foot?" Amid their conversation, Lucky had curiously sniffed Bellina's leg and gave it a little lick.
Enraged, she kicked Lucky away, sending the small dog tumbling across the ground.
Lucky, naturally energetic and playful, yelped in pain before quickly scurrying to Leon's feet for protection.
"Hey!" Joycelyn tried to stop her but was a second too late. Bellina had already landed a kick right on Lucky's belly.
Immediately, Joycelyn's face darkened.
"Hey! Why did you kick it? It's a clean dog, fully vaccinated!" Leon scooped up Lucky, his face full of anger as he shouted at Bellina.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat kick didn't just hit Lucky. It hit all three of them in the heart.
Sandra rushed forward, picking up the well-behaved Rocky in her arms. She glared at Bellina with hostility. "You even bully puppies? You're truly vicious!" "It lickedfirst! Who knows if it has bacteria? I have a cleanliness obsession, okay?" Bellina retorted loudly, refusing to back down.
Joycelyn didn't care about Bellina's status and the fact that she was technically a guest. She stepped forward with an icy expression. “Miss Schultz, do you not own pets?"
"I do, but mine are taken care of by professionals. They're cute little om dogs, unlike this ugly thing. I can tell it's a stray mutt. I don't like poor breed," Bellina said arrogantly, her privileged upbringing on full display. "Oh? So you have owned dogs before." Joycelyn let out a light laugh. "I don't think mutts are inferior to pedigree dogs. In fact, I like them. Even if it's a mutt, I still love it." She walked over to Leon, gently rubbing Lucky's injured belly, before turning back with a bright yet sharp smile. "After all, 2/3 Wed, 12 Mar Chapter 271 dogs are always loyal and honest. Unlike shumans, who are manipulative and cunning" "What do you mean by that? Bellina was pissed at Joycelyn's vague criticism.
"Nothing. I just stated a fact. Don't be so sensitive Sandra smirked, speaking so quickly that Bellina had no tto react.
"Why are you insulting her? Belle is a guest in our home, and she even prepared a gift for you" Standing behind BeinStanding like a devoted follower, li Tanya finally spoke up. She was holding a delicate and stylish handbag
"Thanks, but my husband has boughta room full of handbags. I can't even use them all. Joycelynreplied coldly, not bothering to be polite. "Con. Let's get Lucky an extra canned treat today? "If you're so afraid of dogs, then just don't cover. My two pups don't bite, but Leon is more like a rabid dog.
You should be careful" Sandra clutched Rocky tightly and glared at Bellina.
Bellina was left standing there, seething with frustration.
As the three of them entered the villa, Bellina clenched her teeth and turned to Tanya. "The handbag is yours. Now, does your house have any chocolate? Go feed it to those ugly dogs.
chocolate "Wait... but dogs can't eat chocolate. It could kill them!" Tanya said, eyes widening in shock.
"So what? They're just ugly dogs. Bellina scoffed, unwilling to swallow her anger, determined to make Tanya do it.
