Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 349

For a moment, Timothy paused, then quickly understood what Joycelyn meant.

“How did I not think of this before?” Timothy ruffled Joycelyn’s hair, saying, with admiration, “You’re the smart one here?

“No, I just think that when things seem too coincidental, they might not be coincidences, Joycelyn said playfully, blinking her eyes. “If you find any clues, let me know. I’ll get him to investigate

“Eison is probably even busier than me, Timothy said with a raised brow

“He’s on maternity leave,” Joycelyn replied with a shrug, laughing lightly,

After the Grant family restructuring, Ellison had made bold decisions and reorganized the management. He had promoted many people he had personally mentored, and these people were all rising stars in their roles, working diligently and precisely. Ellison didn’t have to worry too much anymore, and his workload had lightened.

Timothy’s eyebrows shot up, and his face showed clear surprise. “Really?”

“Yes, and he’s even found himself a helper,” Joycelyn added, recalling how her father had sent Leon to work under Ellison for a bit of hands–on learning, only to see him suffer under the pressure.

Poor Leon, after just a few days, had dark circles under his eyes, as if he’d been punched in the face a few times.

“That’s great. You need someone to keep you company as well. If he’s so thoughtful, I’ll talk to Zack and see if we can send Edward over to help him out too.”

“That works, Leon would have company,” Joycelyn agreed with a nod.

The inner workings of a wealthy family like theirs were a maze of power and connections. To survive in this business world, you needed more than just strength–you needed support within the family. The Spencer family and the Schultz family had played a huge role in keeping things under control when Ellison had been comatose.

Just as they were talking, Timothy’s assistant arrived to report some business matters, needing him to attend a meeting.

I’ll go take care of this,” Timothy said.

“Okay.” Joycelyn smiled as she watched him leave.

“Joycelyn, let’s go out and have some fun before we head back to the Spencer family tomorrow,” Jeff said, walking over with Shirley, unfazed by the earlier tension.

“Sure! Where are we going?” Joycelyn asked, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

“There’s an old town near the Spencer family estate. We’ve made arrangements to visit it, take a boat ride, and enjoy the

scenery.”
