Chapter 349 For a moment, Timothy paused, then quickly understood what Joycelyn meant.
"How did I not think of this before?" Timothy ruffled Joycelyn's hair, saying, with admiration, "You're 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, letknow. I'll get him to investigate "Eison is probably even busier than me, Timothy said with a raised brow "He's 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 didn't have to worry too much anymore, and his workload had lightened.
Timothy's eyebrows shot up, and his face showed clear surprise. "Really?" "Yes, and he's 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 he'd been punched in the face a few times. "That's great. You need someone to keep you company as well. If he's so thoughtful, I'll 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, Timothy's assistant arrived to report sbusiness matters, needing him to attend a meeting.
I'll go take care of this," Timothy said.
"Okay." Joycelyn smiled as she watched him leave.
"Joycelyn, let's go out and have sfun before we head back to the Spencer family tomorrow," Jeff said, walking over with Shirley, unfazed by the earlier tension.

"There's an old town near the Spencer family estate. We've 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 sphotos in traditional costumes. With how handsthe brothers are, the pictures will be perfect!" Joycelyn's excitement was palpable as she imagined the fun they'd have.
Before they left, Bellina, who had been listening, grabbed Jerome's 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 Bellina's 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 I'll stay and join you all," Zack said, closing the car door and walking back.
45 Edward, carrying his camera, smiled and said, “Let's go! We'll take pictures, and I've had the styling team prepare outfits for all kinds of styles." "Modern, traditional, everything-we'll do it all!" Edward was enthusiastic, eager to capture great shots of everyone.
? As they were talking, Joycelyn noticed Jerstanding 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 cup from behind and wrapped his arm around her, blocking her view.
"We're 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, I'll arrange everything." When the cars stopped, and everyone gathered, Joycelyn turned to ask, "Aren't we going to tell Jerome?" Jerhad 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 Jera final wave, feeling as if he were waiting for something.
"Jerome, safe travels. Let's take a family photo next twe can all get together," Joycelyn called out as she got into the car.
Jerome's hand clenched and then loosened as he nodded silently, his voice barely audible, "Mm." Joycelyn smiled softly and settled into Ellison's embrace as the car door closed.
"Jeris like your father-kind-hearted," Sebastian said as the car drove off. "We didn't want Bellina to join the Schultz family, but Jerinsisted on taking responsibility. He believes that by helping her, others will treat him kindly in return. But can such things really be compensated?" "Now they've 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 Bellina's 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 Jerome's actions, she could understand his pain.

Can you make a call for me?" she asked, giving him a playful yet persuasive look. Edward wasn't entirely happy but agreed, "Fine, I'll make the call. But I'm not thrilled about it." ? off guard.
"Just do what I asked. Let Bellina stay behind; she won't want to run errands Joycelyn said with a mischievous grin. 2/3 14:32 Wed, 19 Mar OM Chapter 349 "Call Jerover. I'll make sure my husband calls you 'boss," she teased, raising an eyebrow.

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 cover to help.
When he hung up, Edward grinned at Joycelyn, who looked satisfied with her plan.
"Sweetheart, chere," 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. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Callboss,"" Joycelyn said with a serious tone.
Ellison's eyes narrowed, his voice suddenly cold, "You trying to get yourself in trouble?"
Edward immediately froze, realizing that his playful request badjustm crossed a line! "Joycelyn, you promised!" he stammered. ᄆ
