An Joycelyn English Novel Chapter 220
Chapter 220 “Ah!” Ella screamed, completely undone. She was just an ungraduated college student, using her favoritism with Zachary to walk around the office with an air of superiority. Now, having coffee splashed on her in front of everyone by Joycelyn, she was utterly devastated. But Joycelyn’s presence exuded something different–an air of confidence that made Ella hesitate, “Are you okay? Did it burn? I’ll have Sandra grab you a fresh set of clothes,” Joycelyn said, pulling out her phone to call Sandra. Ella stood nearby, her face a mix of humiliation and anger. She was the type to rely on her fragile demeanor. But now, overwhelmed, she collapsed to the floor in tears. Lucy’s colleagues started to gather around, especially her director, who seemed to know Ella. He walked over, dabbing Ella’s face with a handkerchief. “What’s going on here? Personal disputes aren’t allowed at the company. Lucy, you’ve only just joined–why are you causing trouble?” Lucy’s supervisor, a man in his thirties named Caleb, frowned, his voice filled with accusation. He seemed to think every woman with a bit of charm must have climbed the corporate ladder through other means. “It was Ella who charged at Lucy first. I threw the drink at her face, not Lucy’s,” Joycelyn said, stepping in front of Lucy, her posture straight and composed, her cold gaze locked onto Caleb. “Even if she was being unreasonable, she shouldn’t have thrown it in her face. Only someone truly vicious would target a woman like that. You hit someone, but you don’t hit their face,” Caleb said, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe the coffee stains from Ella’s face. “Ugh, she threw it in my mouth! Who knows if there are germs in it? I’m going to the hospital for a check–up.” “You threw hot coffee earlier, didn’t you? I don’t know if it burned Lucy, but if you need a checkup, we can go together. Lucy needs a full exam, and as for your slander, you can either apologize or prepare for a lawsuit,” Joycelyn said, uninterested in the scene playing out. Just listening to them made it obvious they weren’t the most pleasant people. “Which department are you from?” Caleb stood up, his height giving him an imposing presence as he tried to intimidate Joycelyn. “Planning department.” “Planning department? Is your department getting involved in overseas trade now? Seems like you’re overstepping,” Caleb’s tone was cold, clearly trying to suppress Joycelyn, who stood unfazed, her voice calm as she responded. “And what about her? An intern from the admin department is coming here to stir up trouble. You seem to be treating her differently–do you have some personal connection?” Joycelyn asked, unhurried, her voice soft but sharp. “Ella’s smart. She’s planning to join us as a translator, but she’s not from any other department,” Caleb replied, irritation thick in his voice. He had a strange, unspoken animosity toward Joycelyn. “Then let’s call the police. There’s surveillance, after all. We’ll see who’s in the wrong,” Lucy, though new, stepped up, not wanting to see Joycelyn mistreated. At that moment, the deputy director, Hazel Rae, approached with a stern expression. “It’s a misunderstanding a part to play here. Let’s all apologize and move on without causing more trouble for the company.” yone has After speaking, Hazel leaned in and whispered a few words to Caleb, hinting that both women had connections to Ellison Grant and advising him not to escalate the situation. “I don’t care! She crossed the line! Even if Mr. Grant himself shows up, I’m not scared! My godfather is Zachary–he’s an elder to Mr. Grant!” Ella, now frantic, pulled out her trump card, mentioning her powerful connections. Joycelyn’s clear, dark eyes scanned Ella from head to toe. She thought, ‘Most college students have a kind of innocent foolishness about them, but this one–this one is just plain foolish…
