Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 349 For a moment , Timothy paused , then quickly understood what Joycelyn meant .

How did I not think of this before ? Timothy ruffled Joycelyns hair , saying , with admiration , Youre the smart one here ? No , I just think that when things seem too coincidental , they might not be coincidences , Joycelyn said playfully , blinking her eyes .

If you find any clues , let me know .

Ill get him to investigate Eison is probably even busier than me , Timothy said with a raised brow Hes on maternity leave , Joycelyn replied with a shrug , laughing lightly , After the Grant family restructuring , Ellison had made bold decisions and reorganized the management .

He had promoted many people he had personally mentored , and these people were all rising stars in their roles , working diligently and precisely .

Ellison didnt have to worry too much anymore , and his workload had lightened .

Timothys eyebrows shot up , and his face showed clear surprise .

Really ? Yes , and hes even found himself a helper , Joycelyn added , recalling how her father had sent Leon to work under Ellison for a bit of hands on learning , only to see him suffer under the pressure .

Poor Leon , after just a few days , had dark circles under his eyes , as if hed been punched in the face a few times .

Thats great .

You need someone to keep you company as well .

If hes so thoughtful , Ill talk to Zack and see if we can send Edward over to help him out too .

That works , Leon would have company , Joycelyn agreed with a nod .

The inner workings of a wealthy family like theirs were a maze of power and connections .

To survive in this business world , you needed more than just strength you needed support within the family .

The Spencer family and the Schultz family had played a huge role in keeping things under control when Ellison had been comatose .

Just as they were talking , Timothys assistant arrived to report some business matters , needing him to attend a meeting .

Ill go take care of this , Timothy said .

Okay .

Joycelyn smiled as she watched him leave .

Joycelyn , lets go out and have some fun before we head back to the Spencer family tomorrow , Jeff said , walking over with Shirley , unfazed by the earlier tension .

Sure ! Where are we going ? Joycelyn asked , her eyes lighting up with excitement .

Theres an old town near the Spencer family estate .

Weve made arrangements to visit it , take a boat ride , and enjoy the scenery .

Edward even arranged for a styling team to update our family photo wall .

That sounds great ! Joycelyn and Shirley both agreed enthusiastically .

We can even take some photos in traditional costumes .

With how handsome the brothers are , the pictures will be perfect ! Joycelyns excitement was palpable as she imagined the fun theyd have .

Before they left , Bellina , who had been listening , grabbed Jeromes hand and pouted , saying , Jerome , I want the best photographer in the world for our wedding photos .

I want the most beautiful dress and the perfect look .

Mom , can you call and arrange it for me ? 1/3 14:32 Wed , 19 Mar Chapter 349 Bellinas voice was loud , but none of the Spencer brothers paid her any attention .

Zack , who was about to leave to handle work , heard her mention photos and decided to stay .

Photos ? Then Ill stay and join you all , Zack said , closing the car door and walking back.

45 Edward , carrying his camera , smiled and said , Lets go ! Well take pictures , and Ive had the styling team prepare outfits for all kinds of styles .

Modern , traditional , everything well do it all ! Edward was enthusiastic , eager to capture great shots of everyone .

? As they were talking , Joycelyn noticed Jerome standing off to the side .

Despite being close in distance , he felt like he was in a different world , ignored by the others , while Bellina held onto his arm tightly .

Joycelyn hesitated , about to speak , but Ellison came up from behind and wrapped his arm around her , blocking her view .

Were doing matching outfits , Ellison said , his voice calm but authoritative as he looked at Edward .

Though Ellison spoke softly , his inherent dignity and presence commanded respect .

Edward immediately bowed his head , saying , Of course , matching outfits , Ill arrange everything .

When the cars stopped , and everyone gathered , Joycelyn turned to ask , Arent we going to tell Jerome ? Jerome had remained at a distance , standing in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere around the group .

Joycelyn considered calling him to join , but she hesitated , with Bellina still attached to his side .

He always drags her along .

Let him be , Sebastian said , not even glancing at him as he got into the car .

Joycelyn gave Jerome a final wave , feeling as if he were waiting for something .

Jerome , safe travels .

Lets take a family photo next time we can all get together , Joycelyn called out as she got into the car .

Jeromes hand clenched and then loosened as he nodded silently , his voice barely audible , Mm .

Joycelyn smiled softly and settled into Ellisons embrace as the car door closed .

Jerome is like your father kind hearted , Sebastian said as the car drove off .

We didnt want Bellina to join the Schultz family , but Jerome insisted on taking responsibility .

He believes that by helping her , others will treat him kindly in return .

But can such things really be compensated ? Now theyve completely tied him down , Edward said with a hint of frustration .

Joycelyn listened quietly , realizing that what they said was true .

Jerome , in his youth , had lost his beloved sister and mother , nearly succumbing to illness himself .

It was Bellinas presence that gave him something to hold onto .

In a way , she helped heal him , Zack interjected , cutting off the conversation before it went too far .

Joycelyn silently absorbed his words .

As much as she had once resented Jeromes actions , she could understand his pain .

As they reached their destination , Joycelyn leaned in to speak softly to Edward , making a request that caugh Edward , youre the best .

Can you make a call for me ? she asked , giving him a playful yet persuasive look .

Edward wasnt entirely happy but agreed , Fine , Ill make the call .

But Im not thrilled about it .

? off guard .

Just do what I asked .

Let Bellina stay behind ; she wont want to run errands , Joycelyn said with a mischievous grin .

2/3 14:32 Wed , 19 Mar OM Chapter 349 Call Jerome over .

Ill make sure my husband calls you boss , she teased , raising an eyebrow .

60 % Edward , eager to be in good favor with Joycelyn , immediately pulled out his phone and called Jerome , his tone full of mock authority .

Jerome , left with no choice , reluctantly agreed and would come over to help .

When he hung up , Edward grinned at Joycelyn , who looked satisfied with her plan .

Sweetheart , come here , Joycelyn beckoned Ellison .

Edward flashed a smile , clearly enjoying the exchange .

Si immediately grinned .

Ellison , however , raised an eyebrow , his dark gaze piercing as he approached her .

Whats going on ? he asked .

Call me boss , Joycelyn said with a serious tone .

Ellisons eyes narrowed , his voice suddenly cold , You trying to get yourself in trouble ? Edward immediately froze , realizing that his playful request had just crossed a line .

Joycelyn , you promised ! he stammered .
