Chapter 245
Iris sensed Joycelyn’s scrutiny.
She lowered her head and muttered, “Joycelyn, your father and I brought you up. Now, you love to piss me off, so your father won’t rest in peace. He loved you so much.”
This absurd accusation angered Sandra.
She rolled up her sleeves to defend Joycelyn when the latter seemed to be lost in thought.
However, she was stopped by Joycelyn. Then, Joycelyn said coldly, “Dad would be mad at you if he knew that you had married into such a bad family and loved to make things difficult for me.”
“You!” Iris stared at Joycelyn with resentment, and the benign mother was gone.
Octavia was surprised that the pushover, Joycelyn, was confident now.
With Lily around, she was afraid that Joycelyn would ruin the deal.

Anxious, she began to play tough to achieve her goal. “Joycelyn, Mom said so for your sake. You are just a humble employee of the Grant Group. If you agree, you will become its hostess one day.
“You know your old classmate, and he has loved you for years. He isn’t inferior to your husband at all. By the way, he is handsome and smart. You should know what is good for you.”
After Octavia gave a long speech, Joycelyn gave a faint smile.
“Well, it is true that Liam is a good man, but I am already Mrs. Grant, Ellison’s wife.”
Instantly, Octavia felt that Joycelyn was insane.
Lily laughed. “We wouldn’t spare one glance at you if Liam didn’t like you. Given your background, how dare you dream of being Ellison’s wife! Ellison isn’t blind.”
Joycelyn silently looked at Lily as she did a clown.
Her eyes were as bright as the first ray of sunshine in the morning, but there was coldness in them.
Suddenly, Lily felt restless, and the smile on her face froze.
There was no doubt that Joycelyn was pretty. It was a breathtaking picture though she just stood there silently.
Besides, her bodyguard had grown up in the Grant family.
“Can it be true?” Lily couldn’t help but think.
She then denied this thought herself.
“How dare a humble employee like you covet the owner of the Grant Group! Go see a doctor. Do you really think that Liam can’t live without you?” Lily laughed hysterically.
Right then, her phone rang, so she answered the call.
She didn’t turn on the speaker, but the others still heard Liam’s angry voice from the other end of the line.
Liam told Lily to give up her plan and not to disturb Joycelyn.
Joycelyn heard Liam though she was not close to Lily.
Octavia heard Liam, too. She quickly grabbed Joycelyn’s hand for fear that she couldn’t get the 1.5 million dollars Lily had offered.
Sandra stormed over and pulled Octavia’s hand off Joycelyn’s. “Don’t forget yourself, trash. How dare you lay a finger on Mrs. Grant!”
The elevator doors opened again, and Joycelyn walked in. Sandra fiercely looked back at the people behind her. “Hurry to the operating room now, or she may die.”
Then, she closed the elevator doors.
“How ridiculous that toads comment on humans!” Sandra rolled her eyes and ridiculed.
“I am fine. In their eyes, Ellison is just an insurance agent.”
“What a bad surprise to Lalala when she sees you and Ellian in the coming family gathering,” Sandra said. Rubbing her hands, she looked forward to the exciting scene.
She then explained to Joycelyn. “Her former name was Lala, and she called herself Lily later. Even so, the girls in her circle still nickname her Lalala.”
Joycelyn couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
After the hearty laughter, she recalled Iris’s guilty response to Sandra’s comment.
The sensitive Joycelyn began to think whether Iris was her real mother.
According to her memories, she had been spoiled by the Maynard couple.
After her father died, Iris had a drastic change.
Back then, Joycelyn had attributed this change to Iris’s weakness.
“Joycelyn, what does your father look like? May I see his photo?” Sandra held Joycelyn’s arm and asked softly.
Joycelyn looked at Sandra’s round and big eyes. She then lowered her head, took out her phone, and found the old photo for Sandra.
“This is a photo of me and my parents. I was five years old then.” Joycelyn handed her phone to Sandra.
Sandra scrutinized the photo, enlarged it, and then compared Joycelyn and her parents in appearance.
“You resemble neither of them.”
Outspoken, Sandra spoke her mind.
Joycelyn stared at the old photo without blinking.
She didn’t pay attention to that problem when her parents doted on her, especially her father.
In all the photos, she was carried in her father’s arms. The love in her father’s eyes warmed her. Thanks to Sandra, she now realized that her facial features were quite different from her father’s.
The three people in the photo had no similar facial features at all.
