- Chapter 316
- “Huh?” Joycelyn did not react at first. Seeing how serious Ellison was in declaring his sovereignty, she understood. “The baby hasn’t even been born and you’re already fighting with her for food?” He was the baby’s father. How could he say this?
- “Choose a few milk powder brands. I will buy them tomorrow. Let’s make some special preparations for the baby. Let’s feed it without tiring you up. Good idea.”
- Joycelyn did not know whether to laugh or cry. “The breast milk will be better, right?”
- “But breast milk will make you tired. I heard that babies have to be fed every two hours. It’s very hard. The baby is very important. So are you.” Just thinking about that made Ellison reluctant.
- “You have to believe that as a mother, I will be strong.” Joycelyn’s voice was gentle. For the sake of her baby, a woman was not afraid of any sacrifice.
- “Do you really want to feed the baby yourself?” Ellison lowered his head and looked into Joycelyn’s eyes. “Then you can just feed me.” As he said that, Ellison put his hand on her body to tease her.
- Goosebumps rose all over Joycelyn’s body. She could not avoid him. She was embarrassed. She pinched his waist angrily. “Aren’t you ashamed!” She was talking to him about parenting experiences, yet he was thinking about sex.”
- “I’m not talking to you anymore.”
- Ellison chuckled softly. He had decided that the kid had to drink milk powder after it was born. He would develop the best milk powder in the world, the kind that was most suitable for his baby.
- Joycelyn thought that he was teasing her. There were still nine months left. It was still too early to say this. However, Joycelyn did not expect Ellison to be serious. He doted on his kid a lot but just didn’t allow the kid to drink her milk. Of course, that was another story.
- The banquet was set at the mountain villa where Isolde lived. The chef of the star hotel brought precious ingredients and personally came to the villa to cook.
- What was more awkward was that the couple got out of the car and sat in the electric wheelchair. The cast on Ellison’s leg had not been removed and he could not walk. As for Joycelyn, everyone was worried that she would feel uncomfortable since she was pregnant, so they let her sit.
- “Aren’t we going to Grandma’s place for dinner? We haven’t lived in our place for a long time and haven’t had time to prepare.”
- “Your brother said that they will come to our place first. They’ll go to Grandma’s place for dinner later.”
- “Okay.”
- As soon as they got out of the car, cars of the Spencer stopped in front of the garden. Everyone got out ofc car and walked back tacitly. Almost everyone was carrying a wooden box from the safe. A lot of precious gifts were unloaded from the last few cars. Joycelyn’s brothers personally helped to move them into the villa one by one.
- “Wow, why are there so many items?” Joycelyn could not help but exclaim.
- “Joycelyn, these are your birthday presents for the past few years, as well as welcome gifts,” Timothy walked to Joycelyn’s side and said gently with his hands behind his back.
- “That’s too much.” Joycelyn was dazzled. She needed a lot of space to put the gifts.
- “Girls love beauty. Fortunately, your house is very big and spacious. Do you have any extra rooms? I can stay for two nights. I want to stay with you.”
- Chapter 316
- What was supposed to come had come!
- “Yes, but we only have an extra guest room at Grandma’s. Fortunately, he had the foresight to remove all the previous guest
- rooms.
- “It’s alright. We’ll only be staying here for a couple of days. We’ve bought all the houses that came in from the outside, but we’ll have to change the style of the decorations. It’ll take another two days.” Timothy said with a smile.
- “Ah, this area seems to be developed by the under Grant Group…. Houses are quite expensive here…”
- “When did you buy the houses?” Ellison asked. Why didn’t he receive the news?
- With a gentle smile on his face, Timothy said, “This afternoon. It’ll be more convenient for us to visit Joycelyn then.”
- “There seem to be only eight villas in total. Some of the ones at the bottom of the mountain are unfinished. I remember.”
- “Yes, your eldest cousin, third cousin, and fourth cousin, and I bought the result four.” Timothy’s smile deepened as he spoke. “I heard that the remaining one is yours.”
- “I’m not sure about that,” Joycelyn said and counted carefully. “That means there’s another one.”
- “That one is for Benny. It’s still under construction.”
- “Oh, oh. What a good brother.” Joycelyn gave Ellison and Timothy a thumbs up.
- “It’s all thanks to you, Mrs. Grant.” Ellison took the opportunity to hold Joycelyn’s little hand and smiled dotingly.
- “It’s almost done. Let’s go in.” Timothy pushed Joycelyn’s wheelchair.
- William, who had finished moving things, came forward to push Ellison’s wheelchair. The entire living room was filled with those gifts. There were all kinds of colors. There were a lot of bags and a few full sets of clothes from various big brands. Jocelyn couldn’t tell whether they were beautiful or ugly.
- Timothy pushed the wheelchair to the sofa, and Joycelyn got up and sat on the sofa. Timothy took two pillows and placed them behind her. He was gentle and considerate. Ellison watched from the side and decided to remove the cast on his leg tomorrow!
- There were five boxes on the coffee table. There were also many exquisite and expensive boxes on the ground. When she opened them one by one, Joycelyn was almost blinded by the large diamonds.
- “Wow! The last time I saw such an exaggerated diamond, it was a gift for my wedding. It’s the collection that Grandma gave me.” Joycelyn’s face was filled with surprise. That was too much. Even if it was fake, they wouldn’t dare to make such a big
- one.
- “These were all prepared in a hurry. All these houses were designed by me. Altogether 20 sets. All yours now.” Jeff opened the password box. Inside was a row of property deeds.
- “I have prepared a business center for you. Not a lot. It’s about ten streets. You don’t have to manage the shops. Just wait to be paid.”
- Zack was the heir of the Spencer Family. Although he was not as powerful as Ellison in the business world, he was still a top figure.
- “Those jewelry collections are gifts from me. Also, the Grant Group’s shares, which are currently worth 70 million dollars.” With one hand behind his back, Timothy showed off the jewelry in the box with the other. Sebastian and Edward sent gifts too. One had given Joycelyn three small islands, and the other had given her a private plane. There was also a custom–made pink diamond. It had yet to arrive, and the finished product would be sweet and cool.
- Joycelyn was flattered. “That’s too much.”
- Chapter 316
- “Not much. We still think it’s not enough. This is a part. We will make up for all the love we haven’t given you in the past few years.” Timothy rubbed Joycelyn’s hair. He would only be gentle.
- “Dude, do you still remember me?” Ellison was no longer arrogant. He had these things, a lot more. However, it was obvious that these brothers–in–law were serious. Instead of competing with them for his wife, it was better to take a step back first.
- As soon as Ellison spoke, Timothy and the other three of the Spencer family were stunned. They really forgot about him.
- “Since you are not prepared, promise me one thing. In the future, wherever you bring my wife, you must bring me along,” Ellison said solemnly in his deep and methodical voice. His words were indisputable. He had countless assets and only one wife. They couldn’t take his wife away!

- “We’re all family. We can all live together. It’s so lively Joycelyn is the youngest baby in the family. She used to like me the most.” Edward crossed his long legs and leaned against the luxurious sofa, Good. Ellison had acknowledged him as his brother! He was proud.
- Ellison did not deny it immediately. A stream of light flashed in his exquisite eyes. The corners of his lips twitched slightly His thin lips moved as he said in a low voice, “Yes, I heard that only Jeff got married, right? What a coincidence. My grandmother has a lot of connections. She knows many ladies from prestigious families. She can matchmake you. After all, your youngest sister is already married and pregnant. You can’t be too slow, Wouldn’t it be happier if the family gets bigger?”
- Ellison’s deep and steady voice was extremely mature and manly. He was obviously a superior. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still looked more powerful than his brothers–in–law,
- Hearing this, Jeff subconsciously sat up straighter. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly. “Ahem, right, right.” He felt pressed when Ellison respected him so much.
- When Sebastian heard this, he kicked his brother angrily. “Sit properly! I told you not to mess with him. If you really want to go on a blind date, go alone.”
- Edward had only been smug for two seconds before he immediately became obedient. He put his legs together and sat like a lady. He felt wronged, but she did not dare to say anything else.
- Ellison found their weak points, especially the two 30–year–olds and the two who were almost 30. To them, a blind date was like going to the execution ground.
- Joycelyn sat obediently on the sofa and witnessed a showdown between experts. She had been holding back her laughter. Her clear and flawless eyes looked at her husband and then at her brothers.
- In the first round, Ellison won overwhelmingly. As a president, he was domineering enough. “By the way, these gifts are too expensive. I’ll take some. You can take the rest back.” Joycelyn came out to ease the atmosphere.
- “It’s fine. These are your wedding gifts. Although we aren’t as capable as Mr. Grant, we still have small businesses. Don’t feel pressured.” Timothy’s eyes were filled with Joycelyn.
- The things in front of them were indeed extravagant for ordinary families. However, to them, it was alright. They mainly supported their precious sister.
- After all, she had married the only heir of the Grant Group. One Grant Group was equivalent to ten of the Spencer family and the Schultz family.
- “Mr. Grant, the banquet is about to begin.”
- “Then let’s first. You can take
- go
- time to look at the rest when you come back. My dad and your uncle also prepare your some. You can look at them yourself when you come back.” Jeff called for everyone to go and eat.
- I the car and
- When Joycelyn and the others arrived outside Isolde Grant’s villa, Richard’s car had just stopped. He got walked quickly to Joycelyn. “Girl… you’re finally home. Damn it, I didn’t recognize you before.” Richard was filled with regret and guilt.
- Especially after learning about his daughter’s hard life. As a father, he felt even worse.
- “It’s all in the past.” Joycelyn’s voice was solemn. However, for some reason, she could not call him father. “Let’s go in and eat first.” Joycelyn placed her hands on her knees. His gentle voice sounded distant. The atmosphere was a little strange.
- “Dad, let’s go in and eat,” Timothy said.
- “Okay.” Richard turned around to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes. Joycelyn felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She comforted herself in her heart. Perhaps she had just acknowledged her family and was still not familiar with
- Chapter 317
- them.
- This banquet was very grand and the atmosphere was very good. It was such a big and harmonious family. Everyone was someone with love and family. Joycelyn felt like a child wrapped in love. She was surrounded by relatives, her husband, and elders who cared about her. If not for the fact that she needed more rest, Joycelyn would definitely have stayed for a long time. Shirley glanced at the time and told Jocelyn to go home with Ellison. She would arrange the rest.
- “Go home. You and Ellison need to rest. I’ll have breakfast with you tomorrow.” Timothy looked at Joycelyn with a gentle gaze. Today, he sat beside Joycelyn and took care of her the entire time. He also took special care of Ellison.
- “Alright, let’s go back first.”
- “Okay.” Timothy knew that since Ellison had just woken up, the couple must have a lot to talk about, so he held back and did not disturb them. “I’ll send you up.”
- “Okay.” Joycelyn did not refuse.
- William drove. Timothy helped the two of them into the car. He sat in the front passenger seat and didn’t forget to turn around to talk to Joycelyn.
- “When you’re better, come back to meet your family, okay?”
- “Alright.” Joycelyn nodded. “Timothy, can I not change my name? My adoptive father treats me very well. I’m also used to the name Joycelyn.”
- “If you don’t want to change, just add a last name.”
- “Okay.”
- After getting out of the car, Timothy pushed Joycelyn into the living room and was about to leave reluctantly. The huge villa was a private space for the young couple. As the older brother, he had his boundaries.
- “I’m going to the washroom.” Joycelyn got up from the wheelchair and slowly walked to the washroom. Seeing Joycelyn getting up to go to the bathroom, Timothy stopped again. When Joycelyn turned a corner and disappeared, Timothy looked at Ellison and asked:
- “Regarding your car accident, I heard that it was the younger brother of Joycelyn’s adoptive mother’s remarried husband? I thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. I’m also grateful that you can trust Joycelyn.”
- “Don’t worry about this. I’ll get to the bottom of it. Did Jerome tell you about the trouble Belina caused in the Grant family?”
- “Huh?” Timothy frowned. “What’s going on?”
- “Your second brother seems to dote on Belina very much. She’s making things difficult for Joycelyn. I don’t think the two of them will let bygones be bygones. Perhaps I’m overthinking. I hope that you can handle this well.” Ellison looked up at Timothy, who had a serious expression on his face. His voice was neither fast nor slow.
- “I know. Don’t worry,” Timothy said with certainty.
- Ellison nodded. “You can go back first. I heard that she attempted suicide and caused quite a commotion.”
- “Yes, I’ll settle it. I won’t let Joycelyn suffer. She’s my biological sister. The biological sister I’ve been looking for for almost twenty years. I won’t allow anyone to hurt her.” Timothy and Ellison reached a consensus on this.
- When Joycelyn came out, she saw Timothy leaving. Compared to just now, he seemed a little colder.
- “What did you guys say?” Joycelyn could not help but be curious.
- “It’s nothing.” Ellison held her hand and smiled gently. “We’re finally home. Go wash up and have a good sleep. We’ll talk
- Chapter 317
- about the rest tomorrow”
- “Do you want me to help you, or do you want them to help your beaty that you were ben

- “Oh, oh, okay. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold you up joycelyn’s face was duly red. She smiled so much that the bot dare to look at the two of them.
- Chapter 318
- “I’ll push you up” Joycelyn walked behind Ellison and wanted to push him towards the devain
- “No need, I can control the wheelchair myself. You don’t have to push He was a thirty–year–old man He was proud. Hom could he let his wife push his wheelchair?
- “Alright,” Joycelyn did not do it and let him control the wheelchair himself. They entered the devas I was only two frooms high. Ellison even pulled Joycelyn to sit on his uninjured leg,
- I’m fine. Don’t get you hurt Joycelyn was shocked. She wanted to get up immediacy, but Ellison held hit back.
- “I’m not made of mud. I won’t break. Besides, how heavy can you be? Ellison held her entire was, drad that he would be tired from standing
- “By the way, Sandra told me today that Dr. Mason refused to let anyone visit. At the moment, we only know about the unconsciousness and don’t know anything else
- “When you set off that day, it was temporary, right? How did Phineas know which road you took and which cars you tooke I feel like it was directed at you”
- “Revenge for his two sons, I suppose? Joycelyn tilted her head and looked at the man in the wheelchair. She could not wait to talk about this topic. She had been thinking about this question recently, but her body was weak and the could not waste
- her energy.
- “It’s possible.” Joycelyn did not notice that the elevator door had opened. Ellison hugged her in his arms and steered the wheelchair towards the master bedroom with one hand.
- Joycelyn said, “What?” She had seen him drive a Rolls–Royce with one hand, but she had never seen him carry her with one hand and drive a wheelchair with the other Joycelyn wanted to get up.
- “I’m fine. The injury is on my calf, not my thigh.” Ellison hugged Joycelyn and let the wheelchair move forward very slowly The wheelchair slowly moved towards the master bedroom.
- “I can confirm that the bodyguard was temporarily ordered. If you put it that way, there is a high possibility that something went wrong on Kingston’s side,” Ellison said in a deep voice.
- “That’s right. I keep feeling that something is wrong. It’s as if the answer is about to come out, but I can’t think of the key point.”
- “Look, the blood sample was taken by Dr. Mason. Moreover, he had also helped the Schultz family do a DNA test. He’s so professional. How could he make a mistake and find the Lester family? The more Joycelyn said it, the more suspicious she
- felt.
- “If I find out who’s behind this, I’ll definitely torture them and avenge you!” Joycelyn was still shocked and heartbroken at the thought of Ellison being carried out of the ambulance covered in blood.
- Jocelyn kept talking and gritted her teeth. Ellison smiled when he heard this. His expression turned soft. “Okay. Let’s torture them.” He sounded deep and cold, but a little cute. When Joycelyn heard this, she was slightly stunned as he looked at the handsome man.
- His well–made black casual clothes outlined his almost perfect body. His facial features were deep and handsome as if he was a person who had walked out of a painting. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was still cold and arrogant. However, his answer made her laugh. “What’s with the tone.”
- “After all, I’m a man with a wife to back me up.” Ellison slowly narrowed his eyes. There was a smile in his deep eyes. However, that was not the case. Ellison did not want her to waste her energy on such a complicated problem. He would investigate. If he found out, he would resolve it his way.

- Even when he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was still taller than Jocelyn. His strouiders were straight and we paym especially petite in his arms.
- “Go take a shower. Sleep on the big bed today. We’ll talk about this tomorrow Ellison brong joycehen me for bathrooms
- In the luxurious bathroom. Ellison was sitting in a wheelchair Joycelyn immediately became stry. As the nood to the bathroom, her face gradually turned pink.
- “I’m fine. You don’t have to watch over me.” Her eyelashes fluttered as she raised ber doe–like eyes and looked at the sam sitting like an emperor by the door.
- “I’ll stand guard by the side. You’re pregnant. You’re my baby. You have to take good care of her Elisos valory. After he finished speaking, his Adam’s apple moved up and down as he swallowed
- Joycelyn gripped the buttons of her shirt and became a little shy.
- “Just twenty days. Mrs. Grant, why do you look distant?” Ellison leaned against the wheelchair and clasped his hands together. He played with his elegant fingers. “Why don’t you come into my arms and I’ll unbemos you will
- Joycelyn exclaimed and lowered her head. Ellison laughed softly. His soft voice echoed in the bathroom gente aud seductive.
- “I have to make it clear first. I’ll wash it myself.”
- “Yes,” Ellison replied in a low voice. She was only a month pregnant. He didn’t dare to do anything
- Joycelyn turned around and slowly unbuttoned her shirt with her slender fingers. She slowly took off her coat and prin aside.
- Her figure was exquisite. Her skin was delicate. Her tight waistline was beautiful She was like an innocent and fataly seductive demoness. Her back had awakened the desire hidden in the depths of his body, like a beast that was ready to str Ellison felt his breathing instantly become heavy.
- After taking a few glances, he couldn’t help but turn his head away. He closed his eyes and started chanting in his heart.
- Joycelyn took off her clothes and prepared to take a shower. She turned around and looked at the man who had his back facing her. She couldn’t help but laugh with her flushed face. Then now?
- Until he heard the sound of water splashing behind him. Ellison raised his hand and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt With his eyes closed, he could imagine the woman behind him. Under the water, she must be as beautiful as a fairy.
- Ellison’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down a few times. Hot sweat seeped out of his forehead and dripped down his handsome nose and sexy chín. Joycelyn looked at the figure who was breathing faster and faster. She did not dare to use too much time to wash her hair or shower. After wrapping her hair and towel, she looked like a beautiful flower that had just come out of the water. “I’m done.”
- “Yes.” Ellison felt the fragrance unique to his wife’s approach. He closed his eyes hard and pretended to be calm.
- “Wait for me outside. I’ll dry your hair when I’m done.” Ellison’s voice was low and hoarse. He looked calm, but his forehead was already covered in sweat from holding back.
- “Okay, okay.” Joycelyn did not dare to stay any longer. He wrapped himself in a towel and quickly walked past him “Slow down. Don’t fall.” “Alright.” Joycelyn had already opened the bathroom door. When she turned around and saw Ellison’s restrained expression, she reached out his index finger and gently hooked his chin. “Call me if you need me.” Ellison felt the soft fingers touch him as if a switch had been pressed. The flames suppressed in his body instantly exploded. The flames suppressed in his body instantly exploded. He opened his eyes. There was a dangerous glint in his deep eyes. He
- Chapter 318
- grabbed the sides of the wheelchair with both hands. “You won’t be satisfied until I’m burning with desire, right? Mrs Grant
- “You’re too handsome. I couldn’t help it.” Joycelyn smiled sweetly.
- “You are provoking me,” Ellison said.
- Joycelyn laughed uncontrollably and tactfully closed the bathroom door. He really cared about her so he restrained himself. At the door, Joycelyn took a deep breath and patted her burning face. There were still nine months left. Ellison had to endure it.

- At nine o’clock the following morning, the sunlight filtered through the half–drawn curtains, casting a warm glow at the foot of the bed. The master bedroom was peaceful and cozy.
- The young couple had slept in each other’s arms since the previous night. Joycelyn, who was in the early stages of her pregnancy, had been struggling with restless nights for the past twenty days. However, nestled in Ellison’s embrace, she rested deeply and was still sound asleep.
- Ellison had a precise biological clock and usually woke up at six o’clock. However, he could not bear to part with his tender and fragrant wife, thus lazed in bed.
- Outside the villa downstairs, several cars entered the garden one after another and parked steadily. Not long after, voices sounded.
- “It’s nine o’clock; they should be up by now, right?” Edward walked in the front with a carefree stride, carrying two large boxes of plumb and juicy prunes. At a glance, they were clearly quite expensive.
- Behind him, Timothy, Jeff, and a few others brought quite plenty of ingredients with them. They rarely had time to gather. and everyone would probably return to their busy schedules after breakfast.
- “No hurry. We’ll prepare breakfast before waking them up. Edward, not so loud, please,” Jeff reminded Edward.
- The group headed to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Jeff and his wife took charge of preparing breakfast. Despite being the sons of wealthy families, the six men worked in perfect coordination, with no trace of arrogance.
- Joycelyn was still asleep around 9:30 a.m., but her stomach grumbled audibly. Ellison chuckled softly as he touched her stomach, his deep gaze full of affection.
- Joycelyn slowly opened her sleepy eyes and was overwhelmed with happiness seeing the breathtakingly handsome face before her eyes.
- “Okay, but I think I heard my youngest brother’s voice,” said Joycelyn. She then paused and listened carefully. Outside in the garden, Edward seemed to be on the phone. As the youngest, he had been assigned the task of waking them up.
- However, knowing that Ellison had never let him get the upper hand, he feared that if he annoyed him, Ellison might set him up with a dozen rich heiresses for matchmaking. Not daring to risk it, Edward pretended to be busy, standing beneath their window making phone calls.
- “Looks like your
- said.
- brothers have come to make breakfast for us. You stay in bed a little longer. Let me freshen up first,” Ellison
- Ellison sat up, his injured leg in a cast, though it did not affect his mobility much.“Take it slow. You know it takes a long time to recover from bone injuries,” Joycelyn said. She was worried and wanted to help him up.
- Ellison refused. “I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt anymore. I think it’s almost healed and ready to be removed. My leg is nothing compared to you and the little one in your belly,” he said,
- He found the cast quite bothersome and was clearly frustrated with it. Joycelyn obediently sat at the edge of the bed. Indeed, ‘now that she was carrying their child, she had to be extra careful.
- “Today, ask your sister–in–law to come along, and let’s visit Kingston,” Ellison said. He moved to the edge of the bed, pulled his wheelchair closer, and slowly sat down.
- “Sure, but how are we going to get in?” Jocelyn asked.
- “I’ll make the arrangements,” Ellison said.
- “Alright.” At the mention of this, Joycelyn quickly got out of bed.
- Chapter 319
- When the couple finished freshening up and went downstairs, they found the brothers by is the Xacara. The spr concept kitchen had a lively scene. Some stood around casually, while others focused on greyding, the ingrations
- The scene of these handsome men cooking together was like a restaurant’s model photoshoot was to tonally appeading that people could almost be distracted from the food
- Seeing the couple, everyone looked up and greeted them in unison, “Good morning”
- “Wow, so much delicious food! Did you all make them yourselves? Jocelyn asked
- “Jeft prepared most of them while Shirley supervised. The rest of us helped out Timothy, weddings contin and gas with an apron around his waist, said warmly.
- “We are unsure of your preferences, so we’ve prepared what Shirley suggested. The meals are matin and got pregnant women. Please, come, sit down, and eat,” Jeff said, inviting the couple to the dining room
- The warm atmosphere of a big family gathering in the morning was not only comforting to Joycelyn but also verei Ellison’s perspective on family relationships within the wealthy family.
- “Joycelyn, how are you feeling today?” Shirley asked. When Joycelyn was about to send a message to Sandra irifing her over for breakfast, Shirley placed a small bowl of tomato soup before her and casually checked her temperature.
- “I feel much better today,” Jocelyn said. The rich aroma of the tomato soup made Joycelyn even hungrier. Lately, her cravings had changed; she had developed a strong preference for sweet and sour foods.
- “That’s good. Your brother specially simmered the soup for this. He also removed the oil to avoid it tasting too oly. It tastes quite good,” Shirley said.
- “This looks so appetizing! As expected of my eldest cousin being the only married man among all
- The sight of such a grand breakfast spread would make any woman swoon. Shirley smiled gently. Unable to contain her hunger, Joycelyn started eating after drinking half a glass of water.
- “Mr. Grant, about Joycelyn’s ring, her brother had it tested. We’ll show you the results after breakfast,” Shirley said.
- “Alright, let’s eat first,” Ellison nodded slightly and said. “Just call me Ellison,”
- “Okay.”
- Not long after, everyone gathered around the dining table, and even though it was just an ordinary breakfast, the atmosphere was exceptionally warm and lively. Joycelyn and Ellison were not used to such a large family setting yet, so they quietly ate while listening to the conversation.
- Ellison and Jeff finished eating first and moved to a side room. Jeff had checked the ring and the pow. on it. He handed Ellison the test results.
- “I’ve checked. The ring is indeed the one you originally bought. However, the serial number was deliberately polished off and re–engraved. Do you remember anything about this?” Jeff asked.
- Ellison took the sealed bag containing the ring and said, “Joycelyn mentioned that only Leah had handled it. Otherwise, she always wore it on her finger and never took it off.”
- Upon hearing this, Ellison’s deep brown eyes sharpened, and his handsome face darkened with an imposing intensity.
- “If it really was her, then the Mason family has been raising an ungrateful traitor. “His voice was cold, carrying a hint of contempt.
- Chapter 319
- “Can you investigate this thoroughly?” Jeff asked watching the seriousness in Ellison’s expression.
- “Of course,” Ellison said. Sunlight bathed his chiseled face, making his sharp features even more defined. His deep brown eyes gleamed with an eagle–like intensity.

- Joycelyn sensed her husband’s expression darken significantly after talking to Jeff. “What’s wrong? What did Jeff say to you?” She leaned in and asked softly.
- “About the ring,” Ellison replied. At the mention of the ring, Joycelyn’s expression subtly changed due to lingering fear.
- Ellison immediately held her small hands, and his warm palm wrapped around her cold hands. His voice was gentle when he said, “Don’t be afraid.” Joycelyn murmured in response and felt a tender feeling in her heart.
- “Jeff said that Joycelyn’s near miscarriage was schemed by someone. Have we found out who it was?” Timothy seemed to have thought of the same issue and asked.
- Hearing this, the expressions of a few of them turned somewhat serious. “He’s just woke up and is still investigating.” Joycelyn quickly said, worried they might blame Ellison.
- Everyone was aware that Ellison had only woken up yesterday. “I’ll get to the bottom of it,” Ellison said firmly, his tone unwavering.
- “In that case, I’ll stay back a few more days to see if we can resolve things before I leave. I’ll leave the company matters to Jerome and Sebastian for now,” Timothy said.
- Now the situation seemed even more complicated than they had imagined. They could not let a man who had been in a coma for over 20 days and still had a cast on his leg handle the investigation alone.
- “I’ll stay back too. I have nothing else to do, anyway,” Edward said casually while drinking milk.
- “Sure,” Timothy nodded and said.
- “Shirley, when will Joycelyn’s condition stabilize?” Timothy asked.
- “Normally, the critical period lasts for the first three months. But given her current steady recovery, it might not take that long. To play safe, she should still rest well for at least a month,” Shirley replied.
- Hearing this, Joycelyn bit her lips in fear and fell silent. She had only started preparing for pregnancy but never expected to conceive after just two nights.
- “In that case, don’t go to the hospital today. Stay home and rest. I, Timothy, and Shirley will check on Kingston’s condition,” Ellison said as he looked at her.
- “I…” Joycelyn was worried about her own condition but also unwilling to let the person who framed her get away with it. “I have to go. If my ring was swapped, I’ll be able to tell,” she said.
- “If you could recognize it, why didn’t you notice it?” Ellison asked.
- “I didn’t pay attention or think much about it. When I first wore my wedding ring to the company, I was worried that people would discover our relationship.
- “I thus pried a diamond out, leaving a tiny flaw in the bow to make the ring look like a cheap knockoff. However, the diamond was hard to remove, the flaw was thus very subtle,” Joycelyn felt a little embarrassed as she explained.
- She did not dare to pry too hard, fearing she might damage the ring. Otherwise, she would have noticed the flaw immediately after wearing it for so long.
- “Luckily you didn’t buy a fake one to wear,” Ellison said, his deep brown eyes locked onto hers, a hint of helplessness flickering within.
- Chapter 320
- Joycelyn did not dare to say that she had considered doing that initially. She was planning to return the wedding ring to him after they divorced.
- Let’s dean up after eating. We’ll leave soon, Timothy said. Then, he got up and started clearing the table. The others also pitched in, showing no sign of aristocratic airs, which made Joycelyn feel more at ease.
- About an hour later, everyone left together. Timothy drove personally while Jeff and his wife followed in another car. The two vehicles headed toward Grace Haven Hospital
- A large crowd had gathered at the hospital’s main entrance, seemingly causing a commotion. Many reporters were also present. It was an even bigger scene than when the Lester family members were here.
- “Wow! What’s going on?” Sandra leaned against the passenger seat window, watching the chaotic scene outside. “Ellison, is this your doings?” Sandra suddenly turned back and asked him.
- “Otherwise, how would we get Leah out of our way?” Ellison glanced at the chaos outside. Leah stood in the center of the crowd, protected by security guards as she patiently tried to calm the protesting patients‘ families members.
- The two cars slowly drove into the underground parking lot. After getting out, Jeff pushed Ellison’s wheelchair. Since Joycelyn was feeling relatively well today, she walked behind with Sandra and Shirley. Timothy and Edward were at the back. The seven of them headed straight for the elevator.
- “Later, Sandra, act quickly. Edward, you and your brother should control the nurse station and make sure they don’t send out an alert.” Ellison instructed in a deep voice.
- In the elevator, the atmosphere grew tense. Sandra clenched her small fists and took a deep breath. “Little girl, take care of the nurse station. I’ll handle the bodyguards,” Edward said, unaware of Sandra’s strength, and treated her as a little girl.
- ‘She’s only about 5 feet 3 inches tall. No matter how fast she is, how fast can she be?” Edward thought.
- Sandra said nothing. When they stepped out of the elevator, three security guards stopped them. Joycelyn stood at the back while Jeff positioned himself before Ellison and Shirley.
- Joycelyn stood at the very back. Jeff pushed Ellison in front of her and Shirley.
- Edward walked out first. He was 6 feet tall, but the lead security guard was nearly 6.5 feet. Just a moment ago, Edward had been acting all high and mighty, but now he felt slightly intimidated.
- “Give way!” Edward clenched his fists, scanning the tall security guard’s body for a weak spot. ‘Damn it, this guy is all muscles! Where should I punch to cause the most damage?‘ he thought.
- “No unauthorized personnel is allowed here,” said the guard. Perhaps because they saw Ellison in a wheelchair, the guards assumed they were just patients from another floor.
- Sandra suddenly pushed Edward aside with one hand and swung her tiny fist forward. The 6.5–foot–tall and 200–pound muscleman was sent flying with a single punch.
- Edward’s eyes widened in shock. “Sandra, protect me!” He shouted and quickly dodged to the side to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
- Sandra’s movements were swift and ruthless. She looked petite and delicate but was agile and violent when she fought.
- Jeff and his wife knew of her abilities, so they were not surprised. Although Timothy was better than Edward, he was just as shocked as him.
- “Little girl, nice moves.” Timothy was stunned.
- With the three security guards knocked down, Jeff immediately pushed Ellison’s wheelchair forward, heading straight for Kingston’s ward.
- Chapter 320
- Sandra’s sweet yet deadly expression made the head nurse at the station freeze in place. “Hand over your phones and stand over there. I’d rather not have to punch a hole through your pretty little heads,” Sandra smiled and threatened them. The nurses did not dare to resist.
- Edward was not as good at fighting as Sandra, but he was an expert at disabling surveillance cameras. “You watch them here. I’ll check inside,” Sandra said. She left Edward to take charge and quickly entered the ward.
- Inside, Kingston was still unconscious in bed. For some reason, Sandra felt a strange discomfort looking at him.
- Shirley took his pulse for about three minutes. “This is strange…” She murmured looking troubled.
- “Shirley, what’s wrong?” Joycelyn asked worriedly.
- “His pulse is at times steady and yet erratic,” Shirley said, then leaned in to check Kingston’s eyes. Sandra, leaning on the other side, accidentally touched his hand. Suddenly, she felt him move.
- “Shirley, his hand moved! It’s like what happened to my brother before,” Sandra said excitedly.
- Everyone turned to look at him. It was true. “But why isn’t he waking up?” Shirley quickly checked Kingston’s upper body for injuries.
- Just then, Leah’s cold voice rang out from outside. “Who are you? What’s going on here?”
- Startled, Joycelyn grabbed onto the bedframe, accidentally shifting it slightly. Ellison immediately held her arm to steady her. At that moment, Shirley was bending down, examining Kingston’s head…
