Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 259

“Ellison, this is Mr. Richard Schultz. His father was a good friend of your grandpa’s, and he’s here to pay his respects on behalf of his father, Isolde introduced.

“Mr. Schultz, it’s an honor to meet you,” Ellison said politely, extending his hand in greeting

“Mr. Grant, it’s an honor to meet you finally,” Richard replied with a smile, shaking his hand.
