Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 272 Chapter 272 K 91 % # Around 10 am , everyone once again made their way to the Grant familys cemetery to pay respects to Ellisons late parents .

Last time , there were over a hundred people present .

Today , only a few elderly relatives and some younger family members attended .

Most of them were trying to make an impression on Ellison , hoping it would help them gain a larger share of benefits within the family corporation .

However , the unexpected appearance of Liam today surprised everyone , including Joycelyn .

Aaron sat in a wheelchair , being pushed by Lily as they approached Ellison .

Aaron said , Ellison , this is your cousin .

His birth mother has passed away and hes alone .

Ive taken him in .

Ive already had his surname changed .

From now on , he is also a part of the Grant family Aaron turned to Liam .

Liam , this is your cousin , Ellison .

He values you greatly .

From now on , work hard in the company and dont disappoint him or me .

The shift from Nolan to Grant felt a little awkward to Joycelyn .

Liam had always been stubborn .

Even back in school , he insisted on wearing his checkered shirts .

Yet today , after all these years , he stood before them in a well fitted suit .

Looking closely , his facial features did bear some resemblance to the sharp and defined looks of the Grant family .

Liam walked forward somewhat nervously .

Standing in front of the naturally imposing Ellison , he lowered his head timidly .

It showed how vastly different the two of them were .

Mr … Mr.

Ellison Grant , Liam finally stammered after a long pause .

The difference in status between them became even more pronounced .

Having finished paying his respects , Ellison turned away and pulled Joycelyn aside as he spoke coldly .

If youve acknowledged him as your son , then take full responsibility as his father .

The Grant family has clear rules .

Those from collateral branches cannot interfere with the direct lineages industries .

From now on , Liam will follow you for training .

Aaron and Lily hadnt expected this outcome .

But Liam is one of the top technical experts ! Without him , how will the project continue ? Lily asked anxiously , looking toward Ellison .

Ellison shot her a cold glance , and she immediately shut her mouth , looking away in discomfort .

Aaron said , Yes , we must honor the familys old rules , but times have changed .

The company should benefit from talent .

It would be a waste if this boy couldnt put his skills to use .

He added , How about I return your grandpas private collection and the museums management rights in exchange ? Aaron was making a significant compromise to secure Liam a deeper position within the Grant Group .

But Ellison remained indifferent .

On the other hand , Joycelyn saw this as an opportunity to reclaim the ancestral artifacts .

She said , Thats a good proposal .

Liam is indeed a rare talent in this field .

But the museum shouldnt just be returned under management rights .

It should be fully reclaimed .

1/3 09:04 Wed , 12 Mar Chapter 272 As she spoke , she gently squeezed Ellisons palm .

Ellisons eyes lingered on his wife .

He knew she had a better plan .

He said , Then , as Joycelyn suggested , the entire private collection and museum will be fully returned under my grandmothers name .

Once the paperwork is complete , Liam can return to the company ? Alright , many thanks .

Aaron was so grateful to Joycelyn that he nearly bowed to her .

At this moment , he thought that leveraging Joycelyn and Liams friendships was a good idea .

It was also fortunate that Ellison was utterly devoted to his wife .

It gave them an opportunity .

Ellison , you need to think this through ! How can you let your wife make such an important decision ? Sibyl frowned deeply , her tone filled with discontent .

My wifes opinion is my opinion .

I have no objections .

If youre unhappy about it , thats your problem , Ellison replied in an indifferent , clear voice .

With that statement , the resentment between the two families deepened even further .

In the Grant family , Ellison is the head .

His word is final , Aaron said , pleased with the outcome , having gained the advantage .

Once they stepped outside , away from the lingering incense , Joycelyn took a deep breath and leaned in to whisper in Ellisons ear , Pearl has fully recovered .

Her skills are no weaker than Liams .

We can send Liam abroad to handle expansion and after sales service .

That way , Aaron wont be able to reach the core operations , and well still be able to acquire a treasure trove of assets .

After that , she blinked playfully at Ellison , her bright eyes full of mischief .

It seemed like she was waiting for a compliment .

I knew this was what you were thinking .

Thats why I agreed , Ellison replied .

Thats called being perfectly in sync ! Joycelyn said sweetly .

Ellisons gaze softened , his deep eyes brimming with affection .

Just then , William rushed over and reported , Mr.

Grant , theres trouble ! Leon threw Bellina and Tanya into the lake ! What ? Joycelyn was surprised .

Leon had a fiery temper , but he was always a gentleman when it came to women .

Even when Sandra gave him a hard time , he only made a fuss .

He never truly got angry .

What happened ? Ellisons voice turned cold .

William said , It seems like they fed Lucky something it shouldnt have eaten .

Leon lost his temper and threw them straight into the lake .

Miss Schultz cant even swim .

She swallowed dirty water and has been vomiting ever since .

Lets go check it out , Joycelyn said , her face growing serious .

It had to be because Lucky licked Bellina earlier .

She must have retaliated .

What did they feed it? Is it serious ? Joycelyn suddenly felt anxious .

The two puppies were less than two months old .

They were innocent and carefree .

She could hardly imagine how cruel a person had to be to harm such tiny creatures .

The family vet is inducing vomiting , but the situation isnt looking good .

William hesitated , unsure how to put it into words .

2/3 Wed , 12 Mar Chapter 272 Even Ellison , who normally didnt care for animals , furrowed his brows deeply .

His expression turned ice cold .

< 39150 Joycelyn ran to the scene .

She found Lucky soaked and weak from the induced vomiting .

Just moments ago , it had been a lively little pup, but now it lay there with its tongue out , barely holding on .

Upon hearing Joycelyns voice , it still managed to wag its tiny tail .

Tears instantly welled up in Joycelyns eyes .

How is Lucky ? she asked , her voice trembling , You threw me into the lake for a dog ? I wont let you get away with it ! My father and my brother wont let you get away with it either ! Bellina was soaking wet , her voice hoarse and filled with rage .

She coughed violently as she furiously accused Leon Davey of assaulting her .
