Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 272 Chapter 272 K 91% # Around 10 am, everyone once again made their way to the Grant family's cemetery to pay respects to Ellison's late parents.

Last time, there were over a hundred people present. Today, only a few elderly relatives and syounger family members attended.

Most of them were trying to make an impression on Ellison, hoping it would help them gain a larger share of benefits within the family corporation.

However, the unexpected appearance of Liam today surprised everyone, including Joycelyn.

Aaron sat in a wheelchair, being pushed by Lily as they approached Ellison.

Aaron said, "Ellison, this is your cousin. His birth mother has passed away and he's alone. I've taken him in. I've already had his surnchanged. From now on, he is also a part of the Grant family Aaron turned to Liam. “Liam, this is your cousin, Ellison. He values you greatly. From now on, work hard in the company and don't disappoint him or me." The shift from "Nolan" to "Grant" felt a little awkward to Joycelyn.

Liam had always been stubborn. Even back in school, he insisted on wearing his checkered shirts. Yet today, after all these years, he stood before them in a well-fitted suit.

Looking closely, his facial features did bear sresemblance to the sharp and defined looks of the Grant family. Liam walked forward somewhat nervously. Standing in front of the naturally imposing Ellison, he lowered his head timidly. It showed how vastly different the two of them were.

"Mr... Mr. Ellison Grant, Liam finally stammered after a long pause.

The difference in status between them beceven more pronounced.

Having finished paying his respects, Ellison turned away and pulled Joycelyn aside as he spoke coldly. "If you've acknowledged him as your son, then take full responsibility as his father.

The Grant family has clear rules. Those from collateral branches cannot interfere with the direct lineage's industries. From now on, Liam will follow you for training.

Aaron and Lily hadn't expected this outcome.

"But Liam is one of the top technical experts! Without him, how will the project continue?" Lily asked anxiously, looking toward Ellison.

Ellison shot her a cold glance, and she immediately shut her mouth, looking away in discomfort.

Aaron said, "Yes, we must honor the family's old rules, but times have changed. The company should benefit from talent. It would be a waste if this boy couldn't put his skills to use." He added, "How about I return your grandpa's private collection and the museum's management rights in exchange?" Aaron was making a significant compromise to secure Liam a deeper position within the Grant Group.

But Ellison remained indifferent. On the other hand, Joycelyn saw this as an opportunity to reclaim the ancestral artifacts.

She said, "That's a good proposal. Liam is indeed a rare talent in this field. But the museum shouldn't just be returned under management rights. It should be fully reclaimed." 1/3 09:04 Wed, 12 Mar Chapter 272 As she spoke, she gently squeezed Ellison's palm. Ellison's eyes lingered on his wife. He knew she had a better plan.

He said, “Then, as Joycelyn suggested, the entire private collection and museum will be fully returned under my grandmother's name. Once the paperwork is complete, Liam can return to the company? "Alright, many thanks." Aaron was so grateful to Joycelyn that he nearly bowed to her.

At this moment, he thought that leveraging Joycelyn and Liam's friendships was a good idea. It was also fortunate that Ellison was utterly devoted to his wife. It gave them an opportunity.

"Ellison, you need to think this through! How can you let your wife make such an important decision?" Sibyl frowned deeply, her tone filled with discontent.

"My wife's opinion is my opinion. I have no objections. If you're unhappy about it, that's your problem," Ellison replied in an indifferent, clear voice.

With that statement, the resentment between the two families deepened even further.

"In the Grant family, Ellison is the head. His word is final," Aaron said, pleased with the outcome, having gained the advantage.

Once they stepped outside, away from the lingering incense, Joycelyn took a deep breath and leaned in to whisper in Ellison's ear, "Pearl has fully recovered. Her skills are no weaker than Liam's.

"We can send Liam abroad to handle expansion and after-sales service. That way, Aaron won't be able to reach the core operations, and we'll still be able to acquire a treasure trove of assets." After that, she blinked playfully at Ellison, her bright eyes full of mischief. It seemed like she was waiting for a compliment.

"I knew this was what you were thinking. That's why I agreed," Ellison replied.

"That's called being perfectly in sync!" Joycelyn said sweetly.

Ellison's gaze softened, his deep eyes brimming with affection.

Just then, William rushed over and reported, "Mr. Grant, there's trouble! Leon threw Bellina and Tanya into the lake!" "What?" Joycelyn was surprised.

Leon had a fiery temper, but he was always a gentleman when it cto women. Even when Sandra gave him a hard time, he only made a fuss. He never truly got angry.

"What happened?" Ellison's voice turned cold.

William said, "It seems like they fed Lucky something it shouldn't have lost his temper and m eaten. Leon lost his threw them straight into the lake.

Miss Schultz can't even swim. She swallowed dirty water and has been vomiting ever since." "Let's go check it out," Joycelyn said, her face growing serious.

It had to be because Lucky licked Bellina earlier. She must have retaliated.

"What did they feed it? Is it serious?" Joycelyn suddenly felt anxious. The two puppies were less than two months old. They were innocent and carefree.

She could hardly imagine how cruel a person had to be to harm such tiny creatures.

"The family vet is inducing vomiting, but the situation isn't looking good." William hesitated, unsure how to put it into words.

2/3 Wed, 12 Mar Chapter 272 Even Ellison, who normally didn't care for animals, furrowed his brows deeply. His expression turned ice-cold.

Joycelyn ran to the scene. She found Lucky soaked and weak from the induced vomiting. Just moments ago it had been a lively little pup, but now it lay there with its tongue out, barely holding on. Upon hearing Joycelyn's voice, it still managed to wag its tiny tail.

Tears instantly welled up in Joycelyn's eyes. "How is Lucky?" she asked, her voice trembling,

"You threwinto the lake for a dog? I won't let you get away with it! My father and my brother won't let you get away with it either!" Bellina was soaking wet, her voice hoarse and filled with rage. She coughed violently as she furiously accused Leon Davey of assaulting her.
