Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

The black Maybach sped along the road.

Ellison picked up Kingston halfway and drove toward a remote county on the outskirts of the city.

“Mr. Grant, what brings you here in person?” Kingston was genuinely surprised.

“Well, I wanted to assess the other person’s character firsthand,” Ellison replied.

Merely reviewing the results wasn’t enough for him. If the other party’s character seemed lacking, their family dynamics questionable, Ellison would be unwilling to let Joycelyn see them. Deciding to investigate further, he chose to make the trip in person and observe things discreetly.

“Mr. Grant, I’ve sent the information about the family to the iPad. You can take a look,” William, who was driving, said, glancing at the reports his men had gathered.

Ellison unlocked the iPad and tapped open the file.

He meticulously reviewed the information about the lester family. He traced their lineage through mitochondrial analysis, which ended up relating to Joycelyn’s mother, and pieced together their story from local census records, forming a general understanding of the family’s background.

Ellison continued scrolling, and it wasn’t a pleasant read.

The Lester family lived in a poor, isolated mountain village. They had six daughters and one son, of which three daughters had been sent away, leaving only three behind.

It was a typical patriarchal family.

From a genetic standpoint, the family’s appearance could generously be called “ordinary“. In harsher terms, they were unattractive–their features collectively paled in comparison to the two stray dogs Joycelyn had rescued.

Ellison’s face tightened. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, his demeanor exuding displeasure.

“Are you sure this is the right family?” he asked, his voice edged with frustration.

“Yes, we contacted the local police, and this is the information they provided,” William quickly explained.

“May I take a look?” Kingston asked, noticing Ellison’s reaction and eager to see the results himself.

Ellison handed over the iPad.

“A family like this doesn’t deserve someone like Joycelyn,” Ellison said sternly. “Are you certain the results are accurate?”

“The results are correct, but this family is… average. They don’t even come close to your wife’s appearance,” Kingst commented, comparing the family’s plain features to Joycelyn’s.

He couldn’t help but notice their resemblance to his sister when she was younger.

“This family is so ordinary and poor… How did the woman end up in one of the city’s most upscale hospitals when she gave birth to her fifth daughter? And her child was born in the same year as my sister?” Kingston furrowed his brow.

“Let’s take a look,” Ellison suggested, leaning forward.

Sure enough, the report about that familly’s poverty mentioned that Joycelyn, the fifth daughter, had been born in a high- end hospital.
