Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 258

“Is that for real?” Joycelyn expressed her disbelief, clearly shocked by the news.

“It is! I couldn’t find anything unusual at first. The two families have always had their issues behind the scenes. But guess what? Sibyl took the opportunity when no one was looking and grabbed Reuben’s hand. Well, for an aunt to make a move on her nephew–in–law, that’s pretty bold!”

Sandra said, her face filled with expression, as if she were performing a comedy routine. Joycelyn gapsed upon hearing that.

“Also, after Cody fainted, Great–grandpa Harriet was distraught. When no one was around, he stroked Cody’s face with a very concerned look. It seemed very off.”

“What!” When Joycelyn heard this, she felt an inexplicable discomfort. Within half a minute, her expression shifted repeatedly.

She had once heard a saying that marriage was like a magnificent robe, full of lies and hidden truths. The same could be applied to high society. Beneath the glamorous exterior of these wealthy families, there were often unspeakable relationships and hidden truths.

“Doesn’t he have a wife? It doesn’t add up,” Joycelyn said.

“Great–grandma Niamh has been living abroad with her children, overseeing the Grant family’s overseas affairs, so she’s not around, Sandra explained.

“Then how did the third branch get involved, and why are they stepping forward to take responsibility?” Joycelyn’s mind felt overloaded. Each puzzle piece seemed more absurd than the last, leaving her stunned.

“I suspect this has something to do with Lily,” Sandra said through gritted teeth. “After all, she made things difficult for you before and got publicly humiliated. She’s probably looking for revenge.”

“Well, the bodyguards said the footprints were fabricated. But how did these three parties get involved? Why are they all saying the same thing?”

“Why not ask Ellison?” Sandra’s curiosity got the best as she nudged Joycelyn, eager for some inside information.

“Don’t bother him with this nonsense,” Joycelyn replied, feeling the situation was too absurd to involve Ellison. Besides, it was all a messy tangle, and she didn’t want to air the family’s dirty laundry.

“Should I investigate this quietly?” Sandra asked, her face excitedly lit. She was eager to investigate even more deeply.

“I suspect these people must have something on each other. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have formed such a united front. You can investigate. It’s different with a sword in hand than without,” Joycelyn said, suddenly curious.

“Got it!” Sandra said, clasping her hands together, beaming with excitement.

As soon as she stepped out, Sandra bumped into Ellison, who was coming back. Seeing Sandra grinning widely, it was clear she was up to something. “What’s got you so happy?” he asked.
