NovelFinishChapter 70 Chapter 70 "Ellison, will you be coming to the dinner tonight?" Ruby called out to him.
479% 23 Joycelyn, who had entered the elevator first and pressed the close button, hesitated for a second when she heard Ruby's voice.
Right after Ruby finished asking, Ellison answered bluntly. "No." For sreason, hearing his refusal made Joycelyn feel a slight thrill inside.
Realizing she might care more than she should, she quickly retreated to the corner of the elevator, trying to distract herself.
As the doors were about to close, they were suddenly opened again by someone outside.
A group of colleagues who had just finished lunch entered the elevator, heading upstairs.
One by one, they filed in, and Joycelyn stepped further into the corner. Since Ellison and Ruby were still outside, the others inside the elevator were all silent, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"It's only noon, you made your decision too early," Ruby's firm voice cfrom outside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllison didn't respond and stepped into the elevator where William promptly pressed the button for the top floor.
As both elevators slowly started moving upward, the others inside didn't notice Joycelyn in the corner and began to whisper among themselves.
"Mr. Grant must really be in love. I envy the woman he's with. Ms. Wilson, a rich young lady, couldn't win his heart, so the woman he likes must be really exceptional." One female colleague spoke with excitement and admiration.
As soon as she said that, the whole elevator buzzed with excitement. Everyone imagined Ellison's girlfriend must be a stunning beauty or an aristocratic heiress to receive so much attention from him.
Hearing this, Joycelyn felt a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head, gently stroking the ring on her finger.
She wasn't exactly a beauty, nor an aristocratic young lady, just an ordinary person like everyone else.
But hearing their envious tone still made her feel a little pleased.
Outside, Ruby stood waiting for a long time, her gaze shifting from affection to cold detachment.
She took out her phone and immediately called Linda. "Your assistant mentioned that at the last year-end party, a woman entered Ellison's room. Get her out of his sight, or you can just find a reason to fire her." Linda on the other end seemed surprised but still reported the situation honestly.
After hanging up, Ruby's face turned dark and sinister.
"Tell your brother to celebrate his birthday early tonight and make all the arrangements." Ruby immediately gave another order to Cecilia.
Cecilia frowned slightly, hesitant. "My brother? Isn't it inappropriate for him to do this? Plus, Ellison already knows about the watch..." 1/3 1226 Thu, 13Feb 0 Chapter 70 79% "Don't worry, Leon and Haddy will be invited too. Besides, how's your relationship with Mr. Fu going? Don't you want to take it to the next level?" Ruby smiled at Cecilia, knowing exactly how much she admired Haddy "Ruby, are you helping me?" Cecilia asked.
"We're good friends, of course, I'll help you." Ruby pinched Cecilia's cheek and coaxed her.
"But my brother celebrating his birthday early won't hold up, right?" "Trust me, I've already found the most authoritative professor in the world. Ellison respects his grandmother so much, he'll definitely show up," Ruby said, confident in her plan.
She believed all her efforts would move him.
Cecilia, seeing Ruby lost in her fantasy, hesitated but couldn't help but probe further, “But what if Ellison marries another woman in the future?" "I'll make sure she dies," Ruby hissed through gritted teeth, her tone dangerously obsessive.
Seeing this, Cecilia didn't dare ask any more questions and kept the rest of the information to herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNear the end of the workday, as usual, Joycelyn sent Ellison a message asking if he would be staying late or if he'd be hfor dinner.
She sent the message, and he replied immediately, saying he needed to meet a doctor and wouldn't be hfor dinner, telling her to be careful at home. Seeing this reply, Joycelyn pouted.
Coincidentally, her high school friend had been texting her about attending their homeroom teacher's birthday O celebration, and it was a good opportunity to catch up after a long time. The venue wasn't far, so she agreed to go.
However, Joycelyn still told Ellison in advance, giving him the address and the room number of the party. She wanted to avoid any unfortunate surprises. Coincidentally, he said he was also at the srestaurant and would talk to her about it when she got hso they could go back together.
She agreed.
Driving her small car to the venue, she had just parked and locked her car when she hummed a little tune and entered the elevator.
Behind her, a white Rolls-Royce slowly approached. Ruby, sitting in the backseat, straightened up as she recognized the familiar car and figure.
Ruby thought, 'Isn't that the country bumpkin who has crossedat the Rolex store?' 9/2
