With the matter settled, Isolde gently patted Joycelyn’s hand and said, “My dear Joycelyn, let’s head home?

“Alright,” Joycelyn responded, her expression calm. She thought they wouldn’t have faced the consequences without bringing them upon themselves.

Joycelyn supported Isolde as they walked along the carpet toward the main entrance of the Grant family estate. Ellison walked closely beside her.

The group of people who had come out to greet them immediately returned to their previous eagerness. They made inviting gestures on either side, saying, “Please come in.” It was as if everything that had just happened had never happened

Before entering, Isolde gestured for Joycelyn to step in first. “Grandma Isolde, this isn’t appropriate, Joycelyn softly refused They were already at the front, and as the younger generation, it was customary for her to let Isolde enter first.

“I’m getting old. In the future, the Grant family will rely on you and Ellison.” Isolde’s words unmistakably affirm Joycelyn’s position within the Grant family.

Joycelyn hesitated as she glanced at Ellison. He smoothly wrapped his arm around her waist and said, ‘Mrs. Grant, please

Joycelyn felt embarrassed. After a brief pause, she finally mustered the courage to lift her leg and step into the high threshold of the Grant family’s home.

Everyone admired Joycelyn, and Isolde stepped aside to let her enter first. It was clear to the Grant family that Joycelyn held a special place in the household. With Isolde’s approval and Ellison looking out for her, she had an unmatched status in the family. The level of favor she had was undeniable.

Joycelyn was surrounded by attention and admiration, a stark contrast to the disregard shown to Lily and Aaron. As the group entered the grand courtyard, the sight of them, on their knees in the sun at the entrance, made their fall from grace even more apparent.

“Dad, what do we do now?” Lily whispered, her voice filled with helplessness.

“Find another way. We can’t let your brother’s return to the family happen today!” Aaron gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a cold, calculating look.
