Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Leon had always been single , which was , in itself , kind of hilarious .
After delivering his toast at the wedding , Isolde shared it in the group chat with her closest friends .
Everyone found it utterly amusing .
No one knew how others reacted , but for Joycelyn , Sandras relentless teasing of Leon was pure entertainment .
The usually brash young man ended up looking downright gloomy by the end of it .
That night , Joycelyn couldnt stop laughing .
Even after she fell asleep , she dreamed of herself laughing .
The next morning , she woke up naturally .
Glancing at the clock , she saw it was already 9:30 .
Wow , I really slept in ! Yesterday was so busy with the wedding , and I didnt even do anything crazy last night .
Still , I slept like a log , I said .
When Joycelyn finally went downstairs , she found only Sandra at home .
Sandra , its just you here ? she asked , mildly surprised .
Yup ! The two elders headed back .
Ellison went to the office to handle something , and Leon left too .
Its just me and these two little furballs .
Sandra was playing with the two dogs , her voice playful and sweet .
Have Grandma and the rest returned to the hospital ? Why arent they at home after dinner ? Have you had breakfast ? she said .
Ive eaten .
Ive made breakfast for you .
Its in the kitchen … Sandra was playing with Rocky and Lucky .
It was obvious that she liked puppies very much and was a very innocent girl .
How can someone be this adorable and still be practically unbeatable in combat ? she wondered .
Despite her sweet , charming demeanor , Sandra was incredibly skilled and capable .
Joycelyn admired her for her boldness and self assurance , wrapped in a layer of youthful naivety .
Ellison had mentioned to Joycelyn that Sandra would be her little sidekick from now on .
I cant believe I need someone as cute as this to protect me .
Goodness , this is too much for my heart to handle ! she wondered .
bespoke Joycelyns tone softened instinctively as she spoke to Sandra .
Are you sure you dont want to eat anything else ? Nope , Im full ! Sandra turned to give Joycelyn a bright , sugary smile .
Joycelyn felt her heart melt .
Fortunately , you got married to Luna .
She met a soft hearted god and was raised well .
How could her parents leave such a wonderful girl behind ? Its such a blessing that she found Luna and wrapped her so well .
Alright , then .
Ill finish my breakfast , and we can head to the school later .
In the afternoon , lets go shopping .
I love your dress .
Youve got such great taste ! Lets pick out a few more for you , he added .
Joycelyn was in a great mood .
As she ate her breakfast , her mind wandered to the incident with the Wilson family yesterday .
Curiosity piqued , she quickly searched for updates on her phone .
She found news about the Wilson familys bankruptcy .
The lab Ruby had poured her heart and soul into had been shut down due to technical failures .
Once a leader in the field , she had now fallen from grace entirely .
A mysterious player ? Joycelyn murmured , staring intently at the report , completely forgetting about her meal .
Did Ellison leave early this morning to handle this mess ? The thought tugged at her heartstrings .
They had just celebrated their wedding yesterday , and today , he was already caught up in such a thorny situation .
21 Feb Chapter 200 ས ཊྛ 81 % t +13 She pictured him sitting at the head of a conference room table , his brow furrowed , exuding an aura of tension as he strategized solutions .
The mental image made her chest tighten with sympathy .
Joycelyn , whats wrong ? Sandras voice brought her back to reality .
She looked up to see Sandra carrying the two dogs , their tiny paws pecking out adorably from her arms .
Sandras waist accessory jingled softly as she approached , her expression full of concern .
Joycelyn gave her a small smile and shook her head .
Nothing , I was just reading the news .
Sandra glanced at the screen and caught sight of Rubys name .
She scoffed dismissively , her disdain clear .
That woman deserves to be taken down by Ellison .
Joycelyn blinked , obviously still unaware of how deeply Ellison had been involved .
Her curiosity about the situation was growing .
This woman deserves to be taught a lesson by Ellison .
Huh ? Joycelyn blinked , obviously still unaware of how deeply Ellison had been involved .
Her curiosity about the situation was growing .
The Wilson familys bankruptcy is exactly what they had coming , Sandra added with a snort .
That serious ? But … what about Ellison ? Couldnt this affect him too ? Joycelyns mind raced .
Ruby had been pinning blame left and right , and now that shed gone under overnight , anyone associated with Ellison , could face repercussions .
Im calling him , Joycelyn said , losing her appetite entirely .
Without a second thought , she dialed Ellisons number .
In the CEOs office , William was giving Ellison an update while the man leaned back in his large chair , exuding confidence .
His sharp , handsome features softened into a subtle , triumphant smile , his deep set eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory .
Haddy handed him a glass of whiskey .
Congratulations .
Ellison accepted the glass and clinked it against Haddys .
He took a sip , savoring the moment when his phone suddenly buzzed .
The moment he saw the caller ID , he immediately set the glass down and answered the call .
Awake already ? Haddy , watching the shift in Ellisons demeanor , chuckled softly and took a seat on the couch , his glass in hand .
And here I thought he was an ice cold executive through and through .
Turns out , one call from the wife , and hes all soft , Haddy wondered .
Ellisons previously cool and commanding tone had noticeably warmed .
Haddy couldnt help but tease him in his mind .
Married life really does change a man .
He wont even take another sip of whiskey once shes on the line .
Are you in a meeting ? Joycelyns voice was filled with worry .
I just saw the news .
The Wilson family really went bankrupt .
Are you okay ? Is there any chance youll get dragged into this mess ? Ellisons expression softened , and his voice carried a reassuring tone .
Dont worry .
Its nothing serious on my end .
There are just a few loose ends to tie up .
Im only a businessman , not a scientist .
None of the technical failures fall on me .
Worst case , Ill lose some money and clean things up .
Joycelyn let out a relieved sigh .
Alright then .
If theres nothing major , I wont bother you anymore .
Get back to work .
She kept it brief and hung up after saying her goodbyes .
Ellison set the phone down , a small smile playing on his lips , more happy than earning a few million dollars .
Mr.
Grant , Haddy said with a sly grin , I didnt think youd turn into such a doting husband so quickly .
Who knew marriage would make you so whipped ? By the way , how did you know Joycelyn ? 10:55 Fri , 21 Feb 60 Chapter 200 4 % 80 % u ( +13 ) Ellisons gaze turned mildly disdainful , but his lips curled slightly in amusement .
Keep your nose out of my business .
Instead of caring about me , why dont you tell me about how you were pounced on by a woman at Meciaro Bar ? At that , Haddy almost chuckled .
Tsk , but youre very fast .
Do you think no one will know just because you erased the surveillance footage ? Ellison glanced at him from the corner of his eye with a mocking gaze .
You should have been pulling up her background information for research instead of trying to dig stuff out of me if you had known .
Since when did you become so nosy ? Haddys voice was calm and composed , showing no embarrassment despite being called out .
Ellison raised an eyebrow , amused .
Haddy had hit the nail on the head .
Lucky you .
If I catch you slipping , next time we sign a deal , youll have to shave another percentage point off for me .
Ellison retorted , his tone casual yet commanding .
Haddy took a sip of his drink , unfazed by Ellisons dominating aura .
Cunning businessman , he remarked .
Flattering , Ellison replied , completely unbothered .
Honestly , your wife worries about you getting taken advantage of , as if thats even possible , Haddy said with a shake of his head .

Ellison , with his scheming mind and strategic depth , was practically unbeatable .
Joycelyn , with her pure and straightforward personality , fretted over him unnecessarily .
If anything , people should be worried about Ellison taking advantage of others , not the other way around .
Well , she is my wife , Ellison said , the pride in his voice unmistakable .
Still , this kind of fun , having someone worry about you like that , is something a single person like you wouldnt understand , Ellison added with a smirk .
He couldnt miss the chance to rub it in Haddys face , taking advantage of his single status to gloat shamelessly .
Haddy gave him a pointed look .
Im tempted to record this and show Joycelyn what you really look like behind her back .
