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.

“Do you two know each other?” Isolde asked with curiosity.

“The Schultz family is ranked near the top of the Forbes billionaire list,” Ellison said in a low voice. “This is my wife, Joycelyn Maynard.

“Hello, Mrs. Grant,” Richard said politely, extending his hand toward Joycelyn. “The Schultz family ranks near the top, but unlike the Grant family, we’re not number one.” He added with a playful smile.

Joycelyn took off her sunglasses and politely shook his hand. “Hello.”

Richard gently shook Joycelyn’s fingertips. When he noticed her removing her sunglasses, his eyes brightened involuntarily. Realizing his reaction might have been inappropriate, he quickly introduced his children. “This is my younger son, Jerome, and my youngest daughter, Bellina.”

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Grant,” Jerome greeted with a nod, his eyes cold and his tone indifferent. He appeared a bit older than Joycelyn, with an imposing presence. His features were similar to Richard’s, though he exuded a strong sense of distance, making him seem somewhat aloof.

Bellina was relatively young, with delicate, picture–perfect features and almost translucent skin. Even her voice carried the sweet, melodic tone of a young girl. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Grant, she greeted cheerfully.

From the moment Bellina saw Ellison, she couldn’t bear to blink, her gaze fixed on him. She snapped out of her daze when Jerome reminded her to greet them. Though she appeared to be greeting both of them, her eyes–shining with a playful
