Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 254

“Ellison, don’t misunderstand, Sibyl just spoke out of turn. But this situation does seem a bit strange. I’ll apologize to your wife on her behalf,” said Averi in a calm and composed tone, showing no hesitation in apologizing to a younger generation.

After speaking, she immediately turned her attention to Isolde, whom Luna supported. The younger generation may not believe, but the older generation would at least consider it.

“The matter is indeed suspicious, Mrs. Grant. Perhaps we should invite the priest who usually recites prayers to provide insight. After all, this concerns the century–long legacy of the Grant family and its future generations,” Averi suggested, her tone serious and respectful.

“Yes, yes,” the others quickly agreed, their faces pale with fear. These people had welcomed Joycelyn into the genealogy the day before, but in just one night, they seemed eager to drive her out, hoping to seize the benefits she had gained.

“Take these somewhere and bury them properly. As for the flowers, replace them with a new batch and get a new gardener as well,” ordered Isolde, raising her hand to signal the servants to clear away the dead snakes.

“Did Ellison and his wife have their birth charts checked before marriage? Sometimes, if the characters don’t align, it can lead to complications,” the elderly woman from the Jamir Grant branch murmured with a hint of unease.

“That boy is tough; nothing can break him. Don’t worry too much, my dear,” Isolde said with a reassuring smile.

“Ellison is definitely under divine protection, but for something like this to happen on such an important day, it’s as if the benefactors are sending a warning,” said the elderly woman, leaning on her cane. Her words were tinged with suspicion.

“Hold onto the benefactors so tightly. Be careful; tonight, they might come looking for you to keep them company.” Ellison said, his voice cold and direct, effectively silencing everyone in the room with a single remark.

The nearly 80–year–old woman was so startled by his words that she immediately fell silent. If the benefactors came looking, she knew she wasn’t far from her resting place.
