Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 170

Ruby found an assistant at her company and asked him to help photoshop a picture of Joycelyn, She also told the programuner to be on standby and await further instructions from her.

Today was a crucial occasion. If Joycelyn could be publicly humiliated by letting her steal the spotlight in the most damaging way possible, she would never dare to rise above her station again.

In the office, Liam passed by his apprentice’s workspace just as the young man finished a phone call, his expression turning serious. Liam walked over and asked, “What’s going on?

The apprentice hesitated, then remembered Ruby’s instructions He quickly shut his mouth and lied, “It’s nothing just fixing a bug.

“Alright,” said Liam. Just as he was about to leave, he was distracted by the large photo displayed on the apprentice’s phone. It was a picture of Joycelyn.

Liam felt a nagging suspicion.

When Liam got back to his office, he still felt uneasy. He hacked into the office surveillance system to investigate. What he saw made his blood boil.

His apprentice had found a nude photo of a woman online and was in the process of swapping out the woman’s face for Joycelyn’s

Liam, usually calm and composed, felt his temper flare.

He immediately accessed the conversation between Ruby and his assistant and realized the full extent of what was going on. Without wasting another moment, he grabbed his phone and dialed Joycelyn’s number.

Joycelyn saw the unfamiliar caller ID and wasn’t inclined to answer. But when the phone rang again three more times, she reluctantly picked up as she walked towards the lecture theater. “Hello?”

“Joycelyn, Ruby has photoshopped a nude image with your face on it. You need to find a way to destroy her phone before she can leak those photos during today’s open class,” Liam said urgently, his voice low.

Joycelyn heard Liam’s words and looked back in Ruby and Cecilia’s direction.

The sun shone down on her, but Joycelyn felt a sudden chill, as though the ice was creeping up from her feet to her bones, wrapping her in a coldness she couldn’t escape.

What a cruel, calculated move. This was beyond anything she could have imagined.

Joycelyn quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

Joycelyn’s gaze drifted toward the lecture hall, where reporters were milling about, and several influential figures from the industry had arrived.
