Chapter 335 Chapter 335 That statement was nothing more than moral coercion .
When Isolde heard it , the smile on her face gradually disappeared .
She said earnestly , Miss Belle , you seem to care quite a lot .
But Mrs.
Wilson isnt Joycelyns biological mother , and youre not her biological sister .
Why are you more anxious than Mr.
Schultz ? My granddaughter in law has only just been reunited with the family for a few days , yet you all seem so wary of her already .
After Isolde finished speaking , she elegantly took a sip of her coffee .
Her dignified aura as an elder instantly made people feel pressured .
The two people who were least connected to the Schultz family came here to act so arrogantly , and Isolde couldnt spoil them .
These words made the three of them look somewhat unnatural .
Isolde , youre exaggerating , Joycelyn is my biological daughter , how could I be wary of her ? Richard said .
Just then , Joycelyn and Ellison walked in .
The couple walked slowly into the villa in casual clothes .
Joycelyns here .
Richard immediately stood up , smiling as he looked at Joycelyn .
Dad , I heard you all were here , so I came to see you .
Joycelyn smiled gently , her gaze shifting from Richards face to Lily and Bellina .
She didnt speak to address anyone directly , only smiled slightly , as if to greet them .
She couldnt tell if it was her imagination , but she always felt that Bellina and Lily looked very similar , almost like a mother and daughter .
Joycelyn , come sit here .
Were just discussing the dowry , adding a little to your little savings fund .
Sandra specially took the initiative to explain the situation to Joycelyn as if she knew nothing .
In fact , Joycelyn had already received a heads up from Sandra earlier .
Otherwise , she wouldnt have bothered coming over .
Ellison wrapped his arm around Joycelyn and walked to sit beside Isolde , even thoughtfully placing two soft pillows for her .
His attentiveness and consideration made Bellina feel her eyes well up with tears .
Joycelyn , bride price list is so extravagant , Mr.

Grant must really love you .
Youve been married for so long , there shouldnt be any need to add to your dowry , right ? On the other hand , with such a large bride price , you wont be able to spend it all .
I heard that a portion of the bride price i kept and some is given to the brides family , Bellina said sweetly to Joycelyn , her voice sounding like she was whining .
Joycelyn rolled her eyes and chuckled .
Dad , is this your idea ? Are you too shy to say it , so you asked Belle to bring it up ? Joycelyn pretended to ask with curiosity , ignoring Richard , who was holding Bellinas hand .
Belle , stop messing around .
How can a younger sister be concerned about her older sisters bride price ? Richard said , speaking with great emphasis 1/3 61 % Chapter 335 Upon hearing this , Bellina immediately pouted and started crying : Dad , youre scolding me ! Now that youve found your biological daughter , do you no longer want me ? This bride price isnt for me .
You know that our family isnt as wealthy as the Grant family , and were afraid that you might be neglected there .
So , we want to keep the bride price as a way of ensuring youre still supported by your own family .
45 Stop pretending , stop crying .
Put away that fake expression , your scheming is about to hit me in the face , Jeff couldnt take it anymore and directly exposed Bellinas intentions .
But Bellina Schultz didnt care .
Since things had already escalated to this point , with all that bride price , which was all Joycelyns , they still expected the Schultz family to provide a dowry and share their familys wealth .
She absolutely refused .
I know Im adopted and cant compare to my sister , but its not for me .
I just want to make sure my sister is safe , Bellina choked with sobs , but she didnt feel ashamed .
Belle , stop talking , Richard said , his face getting serious , Bellina started crying at the scold .
Seeing this , the gentle smile on Lilys face disappeared .
Why are you so fierce to Belle ? Shes just an innocent child .
Youre thinking about my wifes three billion dollar bride price ? Pretending to be innocent ? That 70 million dollars in stock was just a stepping stone , and its waiting for me here , Ellisons voice was cold , with a hint of indifference .
Hearing this , Richards face turned red with embarrassment .
Mr.
Grant , were still family .
You shouldnt be saying things like that , Lily said , gently pulling Bellina into her arms to comfort her .
The Grant family is a wealthy , influential family .
No matter how much Joycelyn gets , with just a little manipulation , shell end up with nothing .
Were only looking out for her .
You two may have a good relationship now , but who knows what will happen in the future ? Lilys tone had a sharp , sarcastic edge to it .
However , she did not dare to look at Ellisons intimidating gaze .
She only dared to look at the empty space .
Isolde wanted to retort , but Joycelyn gently pressed her hand down , giving her a look to wait .
In their own home , they couldnt let these two pretend to be innocent and bully them .
Ellison couldnt hold back anymore .
They say when you have a stepmother , you get a stepfather .
The old saying is really true .
Its only been six months of marriage , and youre already hoping for a divorce , huh ? Ellison , thats not what Lily meant , you misunderstood , Richard quickly denied .
Isnt that so ? Ones a stepmother , the other an adopted daughter , and theyre here to take my wifes dowry .
You and your son are backing them up , arent you ? Ellison sneered , The doors right there .
Either you leave on your own , or Ill have the bodyguards throw you How can you talk like that ? Hes still your father in law ! Why do you speak so harshly ? Just because you have money , y think youre so great ? Bellina , spoiled , lifted her head from Lilys arms and pouted .
I dont hit women , Baby , just tear her mouth apart , Ellison glanced at Sandra , who was sitting on the armrest of the nearby sofa , his voice cold and firm .
Sandra was a bit surprised to hear Ellison call her Baby instead of Benny .
But the next second .
Sandra rolled up her sleeves , ready to rush over and drag Bellina out to teach her a lesson .
14:29 Wed , 19 Mar OM Chapter 335 She had some experience after beating her up last time .
