No Ads 472 % Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Ah ! Ella screamed , completely undone .

She was just an ungraduated college student , using her favoritism with Zachary to walk around the office with an air of superiority .

Now , having coffee splashed on her in front of everyone by Joycelyn , she was utterly devastated .

But Joycelyns presence exuded something different an air of confidence that made Ella hesitate , Are you okay ? Did it burn ? Ill have Sandra grab you a fresh set of clothes , Joycelyn said , pulling out her phone to call Sandra .

Ella stood nearby , her face a mix of humiliation and anger .

She was the type to rely on her fragile demeanor .

He walked over , dabbing Ellas face with a handkerchief .

Whats going on here ? Personal disputes arent allowed at the company .

Lucy , youve only just joined why are you causing trouble ? Lucys supervisor , a man in his thirties named Caleb , frowned , his voice filled with accusation .

It was Ella who charged at Lucy first .

I threw the drink at her face , not Lucys , Joycelyn said , stepping in front of Lucy , her posture straight and composed , her cold gaze locked onto Caleb .

Even if she was being unreasonable , she shouldnt have thrown it in her face .

Only someone truly vicious would target a woman like that .

You hit someone , but you dont hit their face , Caleb said , pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the coffee stains from Ellas face .

Ugh , she threw it in my mouth ! Who knows if there are germs in it ? Im going to the hospital for a check up .

You threw hot coffee earlier , didnt you ? I dont know if it burned Lucy , but if you need a checkup , we can go together .

Planning department .

Planning department ? Is your department getting involved in overseas trade now ? Seems like youre overstepping , Calebs tone was cold , clearly trying to suppress Joycelyn , who stood unfazed , her voice calm as she responded .

And what about her ? An intern from the admin department is coming here to stir up trouble .

You seem to be treating her differently do you have some personal connection ? Joycelyn asked , unhurried , her voice soft but sharp .

Ellas smart .

Shes planning to join us as a translator , but shes not from any other department , Caleb replied , irritation thick in his voice .

He had a strange , unspoken animosity toward Joycelyn .

Then lets call the police .

Theres surveillance , after all .

Well see whos in the wrong , Lucy , though new , stepped up , not wanting to see Joycelyn mistreated .

At that moment , the deputy director , Hazel Rae , approached with a stern expression .

Its a misunderstanding a part to play here .

Why are you targeting Lucy ? Joycelyns gaze was cold , unwavering , like a frozen lake still on the surface but with an underlying depth of intensity .

Instead , she looked toward Lucy , standing behind Joycelyn .

Because shes improper , hiding in the shadows ! Mr.

Grants married , and she still tries to seduce him , Ella spat , her glare directed at Lucy .

This issue had been simmering for a while , and it had gained significant attention when it first started .

When Lucy had just joined the company , she didnt have any allies to back her up , so she had kept her distance .

Getting a job at the Grant Group was a rare opportunity , and she was focused on building her career , not getting caught up in drama .

But now , the matter had flared up again , and Lucy was genuinely furious especially in front of Joycelyn .

And wheres your evidence ? Joycelyns voice was calm , but her eyes locked onto Ella , sharp and calculating .

The evidence was on my old phone , but Lucy broke it , Ella snapped back .

Where did you get that evidence from ? Mr.

Willows ? A shareholder caught filming Mr.

Grant ? Are you trying to get yourself in trouble , dragging others down with you ? Joycelyns voice held a quiet amusement , clearly mocking the stupidity of this fragile pawn .

Before Joycelyn could say more , the elevator doors slid open .

The employees of the Grant Group , who had been quietly watching , froze in shock .

Who filmed me ? Ellisons voice rang out from the elevator , clear and commanding , carrying with it a chilling authority .

His presence alone , cold and powerful , radiated a natural air of aristocracy that commanded attention .

The entire office floor fell silent , with the employees involuntarily holding their breath .

Ella , however , had never seen Ellison before .

As she turned her head , she froze , her face displaying pure shock at the sight of the tall , strikingly handsome man his deep , piercing eyes radiated a coldness that sent a shiver down her spine .

Y You … Youre Mr.

Grant ? Ella could hardly believe her eyes as the man walked toward her .

Dressed in a sharp suit , his deep , dark eyes seemed like an endless , icy abyss , radiating a chilling coldness that made her heart skip a beat .

Tall , handsome , and youthful he was the President ! Ella thought , Lucys living the good life ! I wasnt filming anyone .

Lucy and Joycelyn are the ones who bullied me .

I dont know what I did to upset them , but they splashed coffee in my face .

Mr.

Grant … Ellas voice suddenly trembled , the tears welling up as she put on a pitiable act , trying to win Ellisons sympathy .

Joycelyn couldnt help but laugh quietly .

She thought , This ( angelic ) bitch thinks all men will fall for her act.ne relies on her youth and charm , sticking to any man she sees .

William , take her downstairs and find out how Zachary got her in here .

Fire everyone involved , Ellison ordered , his voice cold and unwavering as he heard the nauseating tone in Ellas voice .

Mr.

Grant , theyve been bullying me ! Youre being biased .

Why arent you doing something about them ? Ella stomped her foot , her voice tinged with a pout of frustration .

With a mind like yours , getting involved would just dirty my hands , Ellison said , raising his hand to signal William to take care of it .

Thats when Ella noticed the ring on his finger it was identical to the one Joycelyn wore , a couples ring .

Your rings are the same ? Are you stealing Lucys husband ? Ella gasped in shock , pointing at Lucy .

Did I do something to you , or are you just looking for trouble ? Lucy was absolutely furious , her anger reaching its breaking point .
