Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 271 Chapter 271 625 Joycelyn had been in a bad mood for the past few days .

Worried that she might feel bored , Ellison had Leon bring back the two little dogs to cheer her up .

That day was the memorial of Ellisons parents .

The couple returned to the Grant family estate to pay their respects .

Leon conveniently tagged along as their driver .

He used the excuse that he couldnt bear to part with the puppies , As soon as the car stopped in front of the villa , Sandra rushed out upon hearing the engine , My gorgeous sweetheart , youre finally back ! Life was so boring without you , She ran toward Joycelyn the moment she stepped out of the car .

At the same time , Leon got out as well .

The moment Sandra saw that annoying man , she abruptly withdrew her outstretched arms .

What are you doing here ? She had been all smiles a moment ago , but she rolled her eyes after seeing Leon .

Not your business , Leon replied just as arrogantly .

He went to the trunk , pulled out the dog crates , and let the puppies run free .

Oh , so youre just a glorified dog nanny .

That makes sense .

Sandras sharp tongue was as unforgiving as ever , but her mood lifted the moment she saw Lucky and Rocky .

Sandra , youre like my long lost sister .

Your vicious tongue is just like someone elses , Joycelyn teased , her clear , bright eyes glancing at Ellison .

She wondered if their future child would be as sharp tongued .

Joycelyn , its good that you werent home these past few days .

We had some shameless , uninvited guests practically camping out here .

Sandra petted the two fluffy pups before latching onto Joycelyns arm with a pout .

Joycelyn hadnt returned home recently because Bellina had been staying at the Grant estate .

Sibyl seemed intent on marrying Tanya into the Schultz family , so she had been exceptionally hospitable to Bellina , providing her with food , lodging , and constant care .

Sibyl was trying to cultivate a bond between her precious daughter and her potential future sister in law .

Just as Sandra finished complaining , a head peeked out from the second floor of the neighboring villa .

Upon spotting them , the person quickly disappeared inside and came downstairs .

Hello , Mr.

Grant ! Its been a while .

Bellina appeared , dressed in a delicate , bright camisole , her smile sweet as she ran toward Ellison .

If someone didnt know better , they mightve mistaken her for his girlfriend .

Ellisons eyes narrowed slightly .

Without hesitation , he turned to Leon and said in a low voice , Leon , release the dogs .

Now .

Leon was stunned for two seconds before quickly calling the puppies over .

Go .

Perfect timing .

Ive been watching dog training tutorials the past few days .

Theyve been working well .

With a simple hand gesture from Leon , the black and white pups charged straight toward the approaching Bellina .

The two little puppies , chubby but fierce in posture , stood their ground .

They growled and barked at Bellina in an adorably aggressive manner .

1/3 Chapter 271 Where did these ugly little mutts come from ? Bellina screeched .

She was too scared to move forward .

Ignoring the dogs , she turned to Joycelyn , her tone suddenly switching to one of feigned sincerity .

She said , Mrs.

Grant , I came to apologize to you .

Last time was all my fault .

I even brought you a gift , a limited edition designer handbag from my exclusive brand .

It would suit you perfectly .

Thank you for your kind offer , Miss Schultz , but I cannot accept such an expensive gift without merit .

Joycelyn maintained a calm expression as she politely declined .

Standing beside her , Sandra nrade a playful face .

Shes even worse than a bootlicker .

She even called you Mrs.

Grant ! Why are you speaking such brutal truth ? Joycelyn lowered her voice and whispered .

Ellison glanced at Joycelyn , noticing a small trinket hanging on her .

He then stepped into the villa .

Before leaving , he reminded Sandra , Dont tire out Joycelyn .

Sandra frowned .

I just hugged her a little .

How could that tire her out ? You forget how ridiculously strong you are ? You once punched someone so hard they flew up and got stuck in a tree .

Leon deliberately emphasized .

Hearing this , Bellinas delicate face froze in horror , unable to maintain her usual composed expression .

Seeing her stunned , Tanya , who was standing behind her , also hesitated .

Dirty dog ! Why did you lick my foot ? Amid their conversation , Lucky had curiously sniffed Bellinas leg and gave it a little lick .

Enraged , she kicked Lucky away , sending the small dog tumbling across the ground .

Lucky , naturally energetic and playful , yelped in pain before quickly scurrying to Leons feet for protection .

Hey ! Joycelyn tried to stop her but was a second too late .

Bellina had already landed a kick right on Luckys belly .

Immediately , Joycelyns face darkened .

Hey ! Why did you kick it ? Its a clean dog , fully vaccinated ! Leon scooped up Lucky , his face full of anger as he shouted at Bellina .

That kick didnt just hit Lucky .

It hit all three of them in the heart .

Sandra rushed forward , picking up the well behaved Rocky in her arms .

She glared at Bellina with hostility .

You even bully puppies ? Youre truly vicious ! It licked me first ! Who knows if it has bacteria ? I have a cleanliness obsession , okay ? Bellina retorted loudly , refusing to back down .

Joycelyn didnt care about Bellinas status and the fact that she was technically a guest .

She stepped forward with an icy expression .

Miss Schultz , do you not own pets ? I do , but mine are taken care of by professionals .

Theyre cute little dogs , unlike this ugly thing .

I can tell its a stray mutt .

I dont like poor breed , Bellina said arrogantly , her privileged upbringing on full display .

Oh ? So you have owned dogs before .

Joycelyn let out a light laugh .

I dont think mutts are inferior to pedigree dogs .

In fact , I like them .

Even if its a mutt , I still love it .

She walked over to Leon , gently rubbing Luckys injured belly , before turning back with a bright yet sharp smile .

After all , 2/3 Wed , 12 Mar Chapter 271 dogs are always loyal and honest .

Unlike some humans , who are manipulative and cunning What do you mean by that ? Bellina was pissed at Joycelyns vague criticism .

Nothing .

I just stated a fact .

Dont be so sensitive Sandra smirked , speaking so quickly that Bellina had no time to react .

Why are you insulting her ? Belle is a guest in our home , and she even prepared a gift for you .

Standing behind Bellina like a devoted follower , Tanya finally spoke up .

She was holding a delicate and stylish handbag Thanks , but my husband has bought me a room full of handbags .

I cant even use them all .

Joycelyn replied coldly , not bothering to be polite .

Come on .

Lets get Lucky an extra canned treat today ? If youre so afraid of dogs , then just dont come over .

My two pups dont bite , but Leon is more like a rabid dog .

You should be careful Sandra clutched Rocky tightly and glared at Bellina .

Bellina was left standing there , seething with frustration .

As the three of them entered the villa , Bellina clenched her teeth and turned to Tanya .

The handbag is yours .

Now , does your house have any chocolate ? Go feed it to those ugly dogs .

chocolate Wait … but dogs cant eat chocolate .

It could kill them ! Tanya said , eyes widening in shock .

So what ? Theyre just ugly dogs .

Bellina scoffed , unwilling to swallow her anger , determined to make Tanya do it .
