Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 252

“Joycelyn, congratulations!” Sandra noticed that Ellison had stopped holding onto Joycelyn, and she immediately seized the opportunity to step forward, wrapping her arm around Joycelyn’s and playfully clinging to her.

“Congratulations for what?” Seeing Sandra’s bright and adorable face, Joycelyn felt the tension in her body start to ease.

“From now on, you’ll be Mrs. Grant, a true socialite of a prominent family. If Ellison isn’t good to you, we can hire the most expensive male model.” Sandra’s face was all smiles, her expression a playful mix of money–mindedness beside a rich

woman.

“Aren’t you afraid Ellison will punish you?” Joycelyn reached out and pinched Sandra’s cheek playfully.

“Everyone here’s combined wealth and assets make up nearly half of the country’s market value, but you’re the quarter of that half.” Sandra made an exaggerated expression, emphasizing her point dramatically.

Joycelyn heard it but didn’t feel much of an impact.

“Two–thirds of our city’s most profitable business district is under Ellison’s name, and now it’s yours too!” Sandra spoke with excitement

Joycelyn furrowed her brows as she listened. “I have no concept of it,” she muttered.

Ellison said he wouldn’t sign a prenuptial agreement when they got their marriage license. Joycelyn knew he was wealthy, with assets worldwide, but she was just an ordinary person–having a roof, food, and a comfortable life was enough for her.

“Oh my, why aren’t you reacting at all?” Sandra almost worshipped the situation, but Joycelyn’s lack of interest made her seem clueless.

“Let me put it this way,” Sandra leaned closer to Joycelyn’s ear. “Right now, you stand on equal footing with Ellison. If one day he offends you, you could get rid of him and inherit the Grant Group directly–no need for the shareholders, the board, or family approval.”

“Wow!” Now, Joycelyn understood. Being part of genealogy was valuable. “No wonder Aaron’s family wants to join.”

“Exactly. The Aaron’s family only has the great–grandpa’s collection. They’d be set for life if they could officially join the Grant family. But it’s impossible–they’re just too foolish.”

Joycelyn paused for a few seconds, deep in thought. She remembered Aaron and Lily’s restraint and finally understood. So

that was it.
