Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 62 Chapter 62 "I never thought you'd marry a poor man and get so corky, Octavia said, crossing her arms, looking down at joycelyn with an air of superiority.

The event outside was bustling with activity, and Octavia didn't seem concerned about being overheard by anyone passing be Her gaze fell on the ring on Joycelyn's finger. "Tsk, a fake Cartier, bought it off the street, didn't you? You really are easy to fool" "Octavia, if the vice president you just met knew about your.... affair with your boyfriend's father, do you think you'd still be able to cling to those rich connections? Joycelyn's cold stare made Octavia uneasy, her usual arrogance faltering for a moment.

Ever since Joycelyn married that 'poor guy," her demeanor had changed.

"You dare?" Octavia's voice was furious, and she tried to bleverything on Joycelyn, but Joycelyn interrupted her.

"It's your own doing. Your karma." Joycelyn glanced at Octavia briefly, then turned and walked away without a second thought.

Octavia stood there, seething with rage. But thankfully, the money family was bankrupt, so her own secrets wouldn't cto light.

"I won't let you off, Octavia muttered through gritted teeth, glaring at Joycelyn's retreating figure.

As Joycelyn walked farther away, Octavia's anger still hadn't subsided.

"Hello, is that Joycelyn's sister?" Linda hung up the phone and walked up to Octavia, striking up a conversation. Octavia turned around and saw Linda's work ID, noting her position as a director. Instantly, she put on a sweet smile.

"Hello, this is Octavia, Joycelyn's sister. Octavia stretched out her hand politely.

Linda shook it, smiling as she said, "Did you just say she married a poor guy? Have you met him?" Linda had heard sgossip at the company, though it hadn't been blown out of proportion.

Tve met him. He's good-looking, but he's an insurance salesman. He bought her a small car, and that was enough to make her cut off all contact with her family." Octavia's face was filled with disdain, but she quickly put on a sweet act to maintain her image.

Linda nodded thoughtfully. "You're the event's hostess, right? You're young and beautiful-how about we exchange contacts? I can call you for future events." "Sure." Octavia eagerly took out her phone and added Linda as a friend.

"Great, I'll be in touch." Linda smiled and turned, walking back toward the event.

Octavia stood there, holding her phone, smiling like a blooming flower, glad she took this side gig today.

Joycelyn went to the restroom to avoid running into Octavia again, then took a detour. She chatted with Ellison on her 12:24 Thu 13 Feb Chapter 62 phone as she walked.

79% +23) The dinner with Ellison's grandmother, which they had planned for his birthday, had been forgotten because of the party.

Joycelyn felt a little guilty for missing the dinner.

Ellison: [What twill you be done? Let's have dinner with Grandma.] Joycelyn: [I'm almost done here. I'll head over once I clock out.] Ellison: [Okay, I might be half an hour late.] After finishing the conversation, Joycelyn asked Aurelia where she was, planning to meet up.

Aurelia told her to hurry because Ruby had arrived and was making a big scene. The staff was busy greeting her. Joycelyn didn't think much of it at first but then realized it was more of a grand entrance than just a simple greeting. What started as a professional event now had media flooding in. Cameras were clicking non-stop as they filmed Ruby at the check-in area.

The staff and event hosts seemed like they were just tools for stardom-like they were about to hold up a "We love you" sign. After the photos were taken and the check-in was completed, Ruby went up on stage to give another speech.

She handled the questions from industry professionals with precision and expertise.

Dressed in a Chanel-style, elegant and professional outfit, Ruby exuded luxury.

Her words were smooth and authoritative, and Joycelyn couldn't help but admire her. The rich girl really knew how to play the game.

Joycelyn decided not to get involved. She checked the time-almost tto leave. She planned to head to the staff lounge to grab her bag and head out.

As she passed a security door, she heard a man's voice behind it, speaking calmly about the development and applications of the intelligent systems.

His voice trailed off as Ruby's loud, clear voice echoed through the venue, responding to a question. Joycelyn's sharp eyes widened in surprise.

She thought, "That voice sounds familiar. Could it be that Ruby was just a figurehead for the project? Maybe the real development was done by the professional team?' Joycelyn's admiration turned to disdain.

The rich truly had their dirty little secrets.

She heard the Q&A session winding down, and the man behind the door was likely about to leave. Joycelyn quickly retreated into the staff lounge.

Not long after, she heard the door open.

As Ruby and her entourage walked past, Ruby's voice rang out. "Liam, the conference went really well. Keep pushing forward, and if I get my way, your treatment will improve." 2/3 1224 Thu, 13F ong.

Chapter 62 Fo "Thanks,Wilson, Liam said, Joycelyn peeked through the door crack and saw a thy-looking guy wearing glasses and a plaid shirt It was Liam Nolan, her old high school desk mate He was a quiet, reclusive genius back then. Joycelyn had no idea how he had ended up behind Ruby, belging her with everything Forget it, it wasn't her business. Once the two of them left, she planned to head out.

She had cwith Aurelia, so she could just take a taxi from the m hospital. It was better than driving that car around, which might attract unwanted attention. As evening approached, Joycelyn arrived at the hospital. She masked up, only her sharp black-and-white eyes visible When she stepped into the elevator, she was alone. Just as the door began to close, her heart eased a little. But then, someone pressed the open button.

She looked up and froze-standing outside were Ruby and her bodyguards.

Ruby, with her haughty and elegant aura, walked into the elevator, then bodyguards carrying numerous gift boxes. It was clear she was heading to visit Isolde. Ruby's bodyguard opened the elevator door, and Ruby walked in with a stride that demanded attention.

Joycelyn quickly lowered her head and stepped into the corner, silently hoping not to be noticed.

Ruby stood tall, glancing at the elevator buttons.

When her eyes fell on the selected floor, she turned and shot Joycelyn a sharp look.

"Are you on the 19th floor? What's your relationship with Isolde? Ruby's voice was cold and y's Joycelyn's h skipped a beat as she looked at the elevator button. AD Comment
