Send gift No Ads Chapter 172 Chapter 172 You attended the lecture , too ? Arent you worried about causing a scene ? asked Joycelyn .
Dont worry , I wore a mask .
There wasnt a soul on campus when I got there , said Ellison as he reached out and held Joycelyns slightly cold hand .
Why are your hands so cold ? he asked .
Joycelyn sighed , debating whether she should bring up the situation with the photos .
Just as she was about to speak , William , the ever diligent assistant , turned around from the front seat and spoke up .
Mr.
Grant , youve already postponed three important meeting day .
Now that Mrs.
Grant is done with class , should we head back to the office to deal with those urgent matters ? asked William .
William had always been obedient unless things were serious , then he had no choice but to overstep his boundaries .
Ellison didnt hesitate .
He replied , Alright, lets head back to the office He turned to Joycelyn , who seemed lost in thought .
What about you ? Are you going home or going back to the office ? Before she could answer , her phone started ringing non stop .
The constant notifications flooded in , her phone buzzing with messages She unlocked it and saw that everyone in her department was tagging her in various posts .
Lucy had also sent her a message .
Joycelyn opened the company group chat first, and almost immediately , a notification popped up .
The notification read , $ 2,000 has been deposited into your account .
Grandmas giving out bonuses ? Shes giving out money to everyone at the company , said Joycelyn with a smile .
Her mood lifted .
Ellison glanced at his own phone , eyes narrowing .
He replied , Seems so .
Except for me .
The irony was not lost on him .
His employees , everyone in the company , had received bonuses from his grandmother .
But not him , her grandson and the groom to be .
He didnt receive anything at all .
Joycelyn tapped away at her phone and then turned to him .
She said .
Ill split mine into half and send you half .
She was about to transfer $ 1,000 to him when he stopped her .
No need .
It doesnt sound good , Ellison rejected in a low voice .
He didnt care about this small sum of money , and the meaning was terrible .
Splitting the money ? Oh .
Even Joycelyn had not thought of it that way ..
Splitting half the money sounded like they would split .
It seemed that her man was quite superstitious .
Maybe Grandmas preparing something big for you .
Joycelyn said , feeling the excitement of a little extra surprise in her squall savings account .
She couldnt help but smile .
Ellisons voice remained calm as he replied , Its already good enough if she doesnt rob me .
1/4 10:03 Wed , Feb 19 Chapter 172 Joycelyn shrugged playfully and said , Dont worry .
When it comes time to pick out our wedding outfit , Ill make sure to choose the most expensive ones for you .
Speaking of this .
Joycelyn remembered that she was going to buy the wedding clothes and items for the wedding with his grandmother .
He replied .
No need .
Actually , I already ordered it .
I didnt let her pick .
I dont trust her taste .
Joycelyn asked , Youve already ordered them ? When ? Today , he replied nonchalantly .
Joycelyn thought for a moment , then said , I think Grandma would prefer to choose on her own , though .
After all , youre her only grandson .
She probably wants to handle everything herself .
Joycelyn had a pretty good understanding of Isoldes strong willed nature .
She was a woman who had dominated the business world for years , so she couldnt just sit back now that she was retired .
She only had one grandson , and that was Ellison .
Naturally , she wanted to handle everything .
Joycelyn offered , If you dont want to go , Ill go with her .
Dont worry , she wont be idle , Ellison said lightly .
At this moment , Joycelyn Maynard did not think too deeply about the underlying hint in his tone .
That was because Lucy , her good friend , was in love again .

Lucy messaged , Did you go to the University of Asgard today ? I saw many beautiful photos of you .
Youre indeed my best friend .
Youre prettier than female celebrities ! Joycelyn looked at the pictures and could not help but sigh .
There was really no information gap on the Internet There were plenty of photos of her floating around the internet from the lecture earlier , and she couldnt bring herself to look at the headlines Most Beautiful Student and The Amazing Academic Prodigy it was all too much .
She sent a frowning emoji , clearly feeling a little awkward about all the attention .
Lucy replied , Dont worry ! My young boyfriend said youre a hit at their school .
He said youre getting so much praise from people , so dont panic ! Joycelyn replied , Young boyfriend ? Joycelyn looked at Lucys message and could not help but be in awe .
Lucy was indeed amazing .
She had a knack for attracting and dating men of various ages .
Lucy replied , Yes , a Leo and four years younger than me .
Then , Lucy sent a photo .
It was a blurry shot from a bar , dim lighting , but the young man beside her best friend was striking .
He looked familiar , but Joycelyn couldnt place him right away .
Looking at Joycelyn chatting with an animated expression on her face .
Ellison glanced at her screen .
He realized that she was looking at a handsome man ! His eyes immediately darkened .
He leaned towards Joycelyn and murmured , Tm still here , you know 2/4 10:03 Wed , Feb 19 B Chapter 172 Its my best friends new boyfriend .
Im just taking a look at him said Joycelyn as she zoomed in on the picture .
As expected , it was an intimate photo , Ellison narrowed his eyes and glanced at the photo .
Then , he put on a disdainful expression and said , Its obvious this young man is a scam artist , swindling money and playing around Cant you hope my best friend is doing well with her new man ? Joycelyn retorted .
She looked again and commented , He looks quite handsome .
Hes young , handsome , and has a good physique .
Hes quite good .
Ellisons jaw tightened , and he leaned back in the car , his Adam apple working as he swallowed .
He spoke in a mellow and pleasant tone , Lucky for you , the first guy you met was me .
If youd met some guy like that , youd be sold off by him and youd still count the money for him .
Ellison reached over and ruffled her hair , looking extremely satisfied with himself .
Joycelyn turned around and ignored him .
She continued chatting with Lucy .
She also sent a thank you message to Liam in between her replies to Lucy .
Although nothing had happened , based on Rubys agitation and fear just now , Liam must have secretly threatened her .
Joycelyn asked Liam how it was resolved .
He only said that he had successfully destroyed the server .
He did not say that he had given Ruby a taste of her own medicine .
Although he owed her a favor , Joycelyn felt that he had really helped her a lot in this matter .
The next time she went to a meeting , she would drag Aurelia and the others along and then invite him to come along .
She would treat him to a meal .
She was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding if she invited him alone .
Besides … Joycelyn quietly looked back at Ellison beside her .
Ellison narrowed his eyes .
The quiet , almost predatory way he was staring at her made her feel like a rabbit caught in the gaze of a wolf .
Joycelyns hand trembled and her heart skipped a beat .
Did he see that she had sent a message to Liam Why are you looking at me like that ? she asked , sitting up straighter , trying to mask the nerves that were creeping up her spine .
Psychology says that if a person has something shameful , they subconsciously avoid eye contact , he said casually , his voice cool and calculated .
Joycelyns heart skipped a beat , and she quickly averted her gaze You also studied psychology ? she asked , trying to regain her composure .
Yes , he replied , his tone dry .
But I gave up after getting my degree .
Jaycelyn did not reply .
No wonder he always seemed to know exactly what was going on inside her head .
3/4 Chapter 172 He asked .
What , are you scared ?? Joycelyn put away her phone , hugged her bag , and sat up straigh Ellison picked up her small hand and turned the ring on her ring finger around .
He said , Ill buy a few more for you so that you have rings on all your fingers .
Joycelyn replied , Just one is enough .
Im already married .
No one likes married women .
From his tone , it sounded like he was serious .
She did not know whether to laugh or cry as she stopped him .
There are more blind people out there than you think , said Ellison as he held her hand and played with it .
The possessiveness in his words and the determination to take precautions were much more than what Joycelyn could feel .
No , I have to assign you a female bodyguard .
After Ellison said that , he gave an order to William , who was driving seriously .
He ordered , Find me a suitable female bodyguard .
Someone who can fight ten people at once .
Joycelyn wanted to say something to stop him , but in the end , she swallowed her words .
She said with a resigned voice , Alright , you arrange it , I have no objections She did not dare to have any objections .
The female bodyguard could also disguise her identity .
It was better than having ten fingers full of wedding rings .
