Ellison And Joycelyn A Love Beyond The Rules novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 

Chapter 173 

*Call Sandra back, Ellison finally spoke, breaking the silence in the car. 

William stiffened at the mention of the name. He asked, “Mr. Elson, Sandra… isn’t she a bit too… intense?” 

Ellison paused for a beat and weighed the situation. 

Joycelyn sensed something was different. She asked, “Sandra? A rl?” 

“Yes,” said Ellison with a nod 

Joycelyn chuckled and leaned in a bit closer to him. 

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her clear eyes were filled with gaftiness. She teased, “It looks like she’s a girl you’ve known for a long time. Who is she?” 

“Someone I consider a younger sister,” Ellison replied and his expression did not change. He was calm and composed. 

Even if Joycelyn leaned over and stared at him for a long time, his expression did not change at all. 

He was the type of man who kept his composure no matter the situation, and it only made Joycelyn intrigued 

There were always women in Ellison’s circle — friends, business associates, acquaintances. He rarely spoke about them, and they certainly never made it to the forefront of his attention 

But Sandra… that name alone piqued her curiosity. It was sweet–sounding, almost disarmingly so. She must be someone extraordinary. 

“I’m looking for a bodyguard for you. Why are you trying to be nosy?” Ellison saw that Joycelyn was already in front of him! so he simply reached out to hold her small face and pulled her forward. 

Joycelyn was caught off guard and was kissed by him. Her face subconsciously turned red. 

William is still driving!‘ she thought. 

She reached out and slapped his hand away. Without the support of his hand, Joycelyn fell into his arms. 

“Ouch,” she gasped, her face pressed against his muscular chest. 

Her actions and reactions were like that of a young woman. 

“She’s the girl Luna picked up from the hospital. Luna’s son and daughter–in–law used to be close friends with my parents but they died in a car accident. She’s the little girl Luna picked up from the hospital morgue.” 

Upon hearing this, Joycelyn was stunned. She looked up at him, her heart aching for Sandra. She did not know how to comfort him. 

Then…” Joycelyn murmured. 

“She’s 22 years old this year. She looks sweet, but she’s tough. She’s been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has fought masters abroad. She rarely comes back, Ellison replied. He was not immersed in the pain of the past. 

He looked at Joycelyn in his arms. His clean and slender fingers micked her hair behind her ear. 

His action was gentle and doting.

Joycelyn did not move. She stared blankly into his eyes. 

He was noticeably more sullen when he brought up the past. 

“Isn’t Luna worried about her?” Joycelyn asked. 

He replied, “She is worried, but no one can hurt her. Sandra promised to 

in 

come back after she turned 22 to take care of Luna her retirement. She was supposed to return at the end of the year, but with our wedding coming up, she will come back earlier. 

William couldn’t resist chiming in. “The only one who can take on ten people is Sandra.” 

Joycelyn’s curiosity only deepened. 

“Can you beat her?” she asked, glancing between Ellison and William. 

Ellison and William tacitly fell silent. 

“Mr. Grant has practiced martial arts. He’s quite skilled. I used to be a martial arts athlete, and I have a black belt in Taekwondo. If we team up… we could win,” William said very implicitly. 

Joycelyn was shocked. 

She exclaimed, “That powerful?” 

Ellison nodded. 

Joycelyn’s eyes lit up. She was even more curious about Sandra now. 

“She won’t do anything to a girl, so I can rest assured,” Ellison let out a sigh of relief. 

“I’m looking forward to it.” Joycelyn was extremely intrigued. 

As the car pulled closer to the company, Joycelyn wanted to get out of the car and walk for a while to avoid being discovered. 

But Ellison wasn’t having it. He told William to drive straight into the company’s carpark. 

As soon as they stepped out of the car, they were greeted by a senior executive who had just returned from a business trip. 

“Mr. Grant,” he greeted. 

When she heard him greet Ellison, she became very nervous. If she hadn’t gotten out of the car, she would have stayed 

hidden. 

That was because the man who had just greeted Ellison was Zachary Willows. 

Joycelyn felt that after Zachary greeted Ellison, he looked at her with displeasure. 

Zachary asked. “Mr. Grant, why is this assistant sitting in your car? Are you going on a business trip?” 

Ellison glanced at Zachary expressionlessly and slammed the car door. 

His imposing aura and action signaled the end of that conversation. 

Zachary knew that he had said too much and immediately smiled to brush off his earlier comment. 

Joycelyn got out of the car and took the initiative to greet Zachary “Hello, Mr. Willows.”

“Hello. Were you on a business trip with Mr. Grant?” Zachary did not dare to ask Ellison, but he knew that compared to Joycelyn, he was higher up in the hierarchy. 

“Yes,” Joycelyn replied faintly. 

Joycelyn followed them into the elevator 

In the elevator, Zachary still wanted to ask Joycelyn some questions. 

91% 

Ellison stood at the front. When he heard Zachary’s interrogation, his cheeks twitched slightly, as if he was holding back an 

unknown emotion. 

Finally, when the elevator reached the third floor, he turned to look at Zachary and said in a low voice, “Mr. Willows, there’s this document with Mr. Zimmer. Go get it and draft a plan. Give it to me before you get off work.”
