Chapter 260 Bellina , I might indulge you in other things , but not this one .

Hes Ellison Grant , Jerome gently reassured Bellina , his tone calm and composed .

Jerome could feel Ellisons imposing aura of power the moment he laid eyes on him , even from a distance .

Cold , ruthless .

and decisive , he was a dominant figure in the business world mysterious and low key for years .

To his surprise , Ellison was not only young but strikingly handsome .

Whats wrong with Ellison ? Didnt you tell me before that I could have any man I wanted in the future ? Why is it different with him ? Bellina cried out , her voice loud and filled with frustration .

Jerome sighed in frustration , rubbing his forehead .

Just a moment ago , he had been irritated by Ellisons coldness and the fact that he had left so abruptly .

Now , however , he was relieved that he had left first .

Otherwise , hearing Bellinas outburst would have likely upset him .

Bellina , if you keep acting this way , we wont go to the Grant family .

Well head straight back , Richard said , his expression stern as he looked at Bellina .

Although the spoiled Belina was used to getting her way , she could still recognize when her father was serious .

Seeing his rare , stern expression , she pouted and muttered , Im not being stubborn .

Its them who are bullying me .

Isolde behind seemed to have heard Belinas cries , and her previously warm smile immediately faded .

She then entered the car .

I remember Jamir mentioning that the youngest daughter of the Schultz family went missing for a while .

No wonder shes been spoiled and pampered , which has made her rather willful , Isolde remarked , dismissing the matter as Bellinas childish tantrum and not paying much attention to it .

Yes , that girl looks about the same age as Sandra .

I wonder when shell find her biological parents .

Im already this old , and I wont be able to stay with her much longer , Luna suddenly said sadly .

Isolde reached out and gently patted Lunas hand .

Luna , when were no longer around , Ellison and Joycelyn will take good care of Sandra .

The Grant family will always be her home .

It took Rd and Jerome a long time to persuade Bellina to get in the car and go to the Grant family for a meal .

Joycelyn and Ellison arrived home first.

After getting out of the car , Ellison walked over to Joycelyns side , opened the door , and assisted her as she stepped out .

Only then did he realize that Sandra had been missing since they left in the morning .

Wheres that troublemaker , Sandra ? he asked .

Joycelyn was momentarily stunned before quickly responding , Shes probably at home helping William .

Didnt he say he was replacing everything in the house ? Just as she finished speaking , she heard Sandra and another woman argue inside the villa .

Sandra protested , Put that down ! Ellison bought this for me ! The other girl raised her voice as well .

Hes my brother ! Do you think you deserve this limited edition Jellycat ? Let go ! If you dont , Ill tell Grandma Isolde youre bullying me ! You awful little stray ! Upon hearing the commotion , Joycelyn immediately hurried inside .

Sandras usually energetic face was now filled with anger .

The carefree girl was so furious that tears welled up in her eyes .

Seeing this , Joycelyn suddenly felt a deep ache in her heart .

She stepped forward and said firmly , Grandma Isolde will return soon .

Why dont you repeat what you said in front of her ? Joycelyns expression remained calm and composed , but a hint of restrained anger flickered in her clear eyes .

She looked at the girl about the same age as Sandra and spoke with quiet authority .

1/3 Mon , Chapter 260 +131 Tanya , the only daughter of Ellisons paternal aunt , was born late in her parents lives and had been excessively pampered , which resulted in a willful and domineering personality .

She felt a flicker of apprehension upon briefly meeting Joycelyns gaze .

However , recalling what she had heard from her mother the day before that Joycelyn came from an ordinary background she quickly dismissed any concern and regarded her with little significance .

Tanya lifted her delicate face and glared at Joycelyn .

Its the truth ! She eats our food , uses our things , and even lives in our house what right does she have to compete with me ? Dont tell me you think marrying Ellison gives you the authority to control me .

How ridiculous ! After speaking , Tanya scoffed disdainfully .

Her contemptuous gaze made it clear that she didnt regard Joycelyn in the slightest .

She was a spoiled young lady almost a demonic version of Octavia Mercer .

Im just a nobody , so Im not in a position to control you , Joycelyn said with a smile .

But yesterday , all of you greeted me , didnt you ? I know that I also have the right to manage family matters .

She paused thoughtfully before continuing , Now , let me think how should I deal with a brat like you whos so bold and disrespectful ? Should I tear your mouth apart or sew it shut with a needle ? Her smile never faltered as she fixed her gaze on Tanya .

The smile that never reached Joycelyns eyes made Tanyas heart tighten .

Youre threatening me ! Just moments ago , Tanya had been so arrogantly domineering .

Now , she was taken aback by Joycelyns cold , profound aura .

Her eyes locked on Joycelyns with a fierce glare .

If youre tired of living , come and say it upfront .

Ellisons cold , commanding tone cut through the tension as he approached from behind : Tanyas heart skipped a beat .

Tanya wasnt afraid of Joycelyn , but Ellison deeply intimidated her .

I … She slowly turned around , her once domineering expression now visibly filled with fear as her arrogance melted away .

If theres next time , just get out of my sight , Ellison said as he strode up to Tanya .

His brows were furrowed with his gaze looked down on her with complete disdain .

anger , and Tanya , who had grown up being showered with attention , couldnt take the repeated humiliation .

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears from anger .

She forcefully grabbed the Jellycat and threw it to the ground .

Kicking it hard as she turned to leave , she sent it rolling out the door , spinning in a wide circle .

Her spoiled , young lady temper was on full display .

Ellisons imposing presence was unyielding as he coldly commanded , Stop ! His expression remained impassive , but his authority was unmistakable .

Tanya froze at his shout , too intimidated to take another step .

Pick it up and apologize ! Ellison shouted again .

With her proud and defiant nature , Tanya looked down on Sandra and didnt regard Joycelyn as a threat either .

Naturally , she refused to comply .

She stood there , stubbornly holding her ground .

Hearing the commotion , Sibyl , who had been strolling in the garden , quickly hurried inside .

Upon seeing her beloved daughter being scolded , she immediately rushed over and embraced her .

What happened ? Ellison , why are you being so harsh to her? Shes still just a child , she said , her voice full of concern .

At 23 , shes still a child ? Is she a giant baby ? Ellisons sharp tone didnt soften in front of his aunt .

Despite being an elder , Sibyl felt a tightness in her chest when Ellisons intense , piercing gaze swept over her .

Sibyl glanced at Joycelyn and Sandra , her expression darkening .

Then , deliberately mockingly , she said , If Tanya has offended Mrs.

Grant , Ill apologize on her behalf .

2/3 Mon , Chapter 260 473 % However , Mrs.

Grant doesnt need to make things difficult for her family over an outsider .

After all , youre still Tanyas sister in law .

Her words , though sounding like an apology , were laced with insincerity .

At first , Joycelyn didnt want to engage , but when Sibyl stepped in front of her , she could no longer hold back .

I remember how worried you were yesterday about Cody , she said with a smile .

I should learn from you and be more lenient .

Im pretty curious .

Why are you and Reuben so protective of Cody ? Is there some story behind it ? Her words were light , but each one carried a hidden meaning .

Sibyls eyes flickered with a sharp , startled reaction as if her tail had been stepped on .

She immediately fell silent .

She had underestimated Joycelyn , who had managed to uncover her secret .
