Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 355 Chapter 355 100% Oops, my bad! The carpet was uneven, and I tripped. Letbuy you a new dress," Sandra quickly apologized, her tone genuinely sincere.

But her faint smile was impossible to suppress.

Joycelyn turned her head slightly, glancing at Ellison, who was casually holding a glass of champagne. The pleased look in his eyes said it all.

She immediately knew who let Sandra do that.

Bellina had never been so humiliated in her life. Enraged; she grabbed her wine glass and hurled it straight at Sandra.

Sandra swiftly dodged, causing the glass to fly past her and smash onto a woman standing behind her. The woman shrieked, clutching her head.

Though the glass itself didn't cause a serious injury, the wine splattered down her face, making for a horrifying sight.

By her side, Payton immediately pulled out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and started dabbing at her face. His expression was filled with displeasure. But when he turned and saw Bellina, his gaze softened.

"Belle, are you alright?" Payton asked with concern, still holding onto his girlfriend.

His girlfriend's face turned stormy. "Payton, she's the one who hit me, and you're worried about her?" Payton reassured her, "It's an important occasion. I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose. Calm down, go clean up. Everyone's watching. You don't want to lose your composure." "She did it on purpose! She needs to apologize!" The woman fumed. She had just been humiliated in front of all these high- society guests. Her hair was soaked, her dress ruined, and her dignity crushed. She could not let it slide.

“She's still a kid. Getting too angry over this will just make you seem petty," Payton said patiently as if he were scolding her instead of Bellina.

"What?" The woman was furious. She shoved him away and stormed off to the restroom.

"Belle, go change your dress. More guests will be arriving soon. You don't want to embarrass yourself any further," Lily whispered, lowering her voice to console the fuming Bellina.

As Lily turned to Sandra, her tone dripped with sarcasm.

She said, "You did that on purpose, didn't you? You just can't stand to see Belle doing well. Speople sure are sneaky. Staying in the background while getting others to do their dirty work!" Throwing Sandra a sharp glare, Lily removed her shawl and wrapped it around Bellina's waist to cover the stain before leading her upstairs to the VIP lounge.

Even as they walked away, Lily shot Sandra one last venomous look.

Moments later, Jerand Timothy arrived, just in tto see Bellina sniffling and being escorted away.

"What happened?" Timothy asked as he approached Sandra.

"Nothing much. She wore the sdress color as Joycelyn, and I mistook her for Joycelyn. I accidentally spilled swine on her dress," Sandra said with an innocent shrug.

1/3 17:12 Thu, 20 Mar Chapter 355 Timothy glanced at Bellina's dress and noticed it was the sshade as Joycelyn's. He smirked.

11 Without making any further comment, he signaled for the staff to clean up the spilled wine before turning back to entertain the guests.

Timothy turned to Jerand warned, "Today is Joycelyn's birthday. Everyone values this occasion. If she stirs up any trouble, don't blme for not showing mercy." Though Timothy wore a polite smile, the icy sharpness in his gaze carried an unmistakable warning.

Jerome's expression was clouded with a hint of melancholy. He nodded seriously. "I understand." Meanwhile, Sandra returned to the inner hall after successfully executing her wine-spilling mission. Lucy and the others gave her a thumbs-up.

"Takes one to handle one," Sandra said smugly, placing her empty wine glass onto a passing server's tray and crossing her arms.

"There are too many people outside. We're not that close with most of them anyway. Why don't we go cat?" Joycelyn suggested. Being socially anxious, she had no interest in standing in the front hall and letting everyone celebrate her.

She just wanted to enjoy her birthday party, eating, drinking, and making memories with the friends she was actually close to.

Besides, her picture was already displayed outside. So technically, she'd made an appearance.

She had just gone downstairs for a brief moment, and countless people had already swarmed over to wish her happy birthday and present their gifts.

The gift table was already piled high. As the Schultz family's cherished daughter, she had all the attention she could ever need.

"I'm hungry. Let's eat first," Ellison said, putting an arm around her and leading her toward the grand dining table at the center of the inner hall.

As soon as he spoke, Haddy and Leon also made their way over.

Lucy had been gleefully chatting with Sandra about Bellina's humiliating moment when she suddenly caught sight of Haddy. He was impeccably dressed, exuding an effortless elegance.

Her eyes flickered toward him for just a second. Yet in that single second, Haddy immediately caught her gaze and looked right back at her. Their eyes met.

At this grand party, Haddy stood out. He was distinguished and graceful, as if carrying his halo of light. His natural poise and aristocratic charm were especially striking at this moment.

Lucy quickly blinked and averted her gaze.

The dining table was long, adorned with a breathtakingly elegant floral arrangement.

Ellison pulled out the chair at the head of the table for Joycelyn.

"Thank you, honey," Joycelyn said sweetly as she gracefully took her seat.

Ellison's indulgent smile was completely unrestrained. "It's my duty." With the birthday girl seated, everyone else also found their spots. Boys were on one side, and girls on the other.

Lucy sat beside Joycelyn. She glanced across the table at Ellison, then nudged Sandra, signaling her to shift one seat over.

"Lucy, it seems you love sitting with Haddy." Leon swirled the wine in his glass and smirked mischievously.

The moment he said it, all eyes at the table turned toward Lucy.

"Mind your own business." Lucy shot him a glare, her fists subtly clenching.

"Hey, Haddy, she's bullying me. Aren't you gonna do something?" Leon playfully fanned the flames.

"I wouldn't dare," Haddy responded with a gentle chuckle.

"Whatever." Leon snickered, eyes twinkling with mischief. They were not together yet, yet Haddy was already standing on Lucy's side. Lucy immediately struck back. "Sandra, I heard you've got a ridiculously handslittle follower now. Who is he?" Leon's smirk vanished instantly after hearing that.

He said, "What the hell? You have a follower? Which fool has been following you around? Is he stupid?" AS

soon as he finished, Edward blinked his innocent eyes and said it's fine. Sandra is really strong. She's safe." st

Leon turned to look at Edward, utterly baffled. "Wait... aren't you myom Jaycelyn's cousin? Why the hell are you playing lapdog for Sandra?" Leon thought Edward had to be out of his mind. Edward actually tried to compete for his role..
