Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 221

Ella was humiliated and broke down in tears.

In the past, she had always relied on Zachary’s backing, and everyone around her had followed her lead. Even Caleb, her director, had always been accommodating.

Now, no one came to her defense. She felt humiliated and angry, turning her frustration onto Joycelyn and the others.

“You’re all bullying me,” she snapped.

“Ella, apologize to Mr. Grant now!” Caleb ordered, his face pale with anger.

“Senior…”

“Don’t call me that. We’re not that familiar,” Caleb immediately distanced himself, then turned to Ellison, bowing his head in apology. “Mr. Grant, I’m sorry. She’s new here and has received some special treatment because of our alum connection. I never expected her to offend you.”

Caleb, fearing being dragged down by Ella’s foolishness, hurriedly apologized to Ellison.

Joycelyn thought, ‘Now I see what kind of person Ella is–she’s not just clueless, her emotional intelligence is non–existent. She’s even more spoiled than those rich girls.

“I was just saying something casually. Do you have to be this harsh? Fine, I’m leaving. I don’t care about staying here!” Ella, unable to back down, angrily turned to leave.

Unaware, she was stopped by William. “You didn’t want to leave before, but now the company’s concerned that your loose lips might leak confidential information. Come with me.”

Ella’s panic was evident as she quickly pulled out her phone, dialing for help.

William didn’t stop her but signaled for others to escort her out.

As she left, Ella could be heard on the phone saying, “Dad, I’ve been bullied at work, and they slapped me in the face.”

This “dad” was probably not her biological father–more likely, it was Zachary.

“This is unbelievable,” Lucy muttered, her sleeves rolled up in frustration, feeling as though she might explode from anger.

“Calm down. Getting too worked up isn’t good for you. Go change your clothes first.” Joycelyn said, spotting Sandra walk out of the elevator holding a branded shopping bag.

“Mr. Grant, I’ve been slandered as your mistress–this is workplace harassment–I deserve compensation! Damn, what bad luck,” Lucy shouted at Ellison, still seething, as Joycelyn nudged her forward.

Everyone froze in place, too afraid to speak.
