SWNOVELS Chapter And Joycelyn 175
Chapter 175
"Miss, don't make trouble for me at this critical moment, be gode Joycelyn reached out and affectionately patted Selene's head, her tone gentle and coaxing.
"Babe, please." Nana whined, wrapping her arms around Joycelyn in a tight hug and rubbing against her like an eager puppy.
"I just want to take a quick look," Selene insisted, her index finger raised in eager curiosity.
Joycelyn grabbed a piece of wedding candy from the box. She wrapped it and popped it into her mouth. Then, she said, "Don't be so curious about me. Go study Mr. Grant, I think the pattern on that box does look like their initials.
He was unfathomable and could withstand Selene's digging. Even if she discovered something. Selene would not suspect
her
Joycelyn smoothly changed the topic. Selene's eyes lit up, and she straightened up from her relaxed position. She exclaimed, "Right! I'm going to figure out everything about the president's wife. Once I crack the code, I'll be the most powerful person in the company!"
Yes, yes, yes Joycelyn nodded in agreement. Then, she gestured for everyone to get busy and slack. With that, Joycelyn turned her attention back to her desk, opening her laptop to sort through some documents and finish up
some work.
After a while, it was the end of the workday. Today was a good day, and they were all given an envelope of money. It was equivalent to an extra month's salary. The girls would definitely be celebrating tonight. Joycelyn would usually join them for meals.
As she packed up her things, preparing to join the others, Joycelyn hesitated for a moment. She said, "Forget it, I better not go. So many things happened to me recently.
"It's fine. Let's find a private room. When we go out later, wear a mask and we'll protect you," said Selene.
She even took out her hat and handed it to Joycelyn. She continged, "Wear a hat too! Let's order two bottles of champagne today to celebrate!"
"No, I can't drink." Joycelyn knew that in the entire office, she was the only one who had poor alcohol tolerance. The rest loved to drink.
She'd better go home and study.
Upon hearing this, Selene became even more excited. She said, "it's fine. We'll send you back if you're drunk.
If they sent Joycelyn home, wouldn't she have a chance to see Joycelyn's husband's appearance!
Selene's thoughts were written all over her face and Joycelyn knew what she was thinking.
Joycelyn said in a deliberately disappointed tone as she looked at Selene, "Then the next time I get drunk, my husband will be worried and think it is dangerous for me outside.
"He might not even let me out for a gathering in the future. That will be troublesome."
Selene couldn't help but get frustrated when she saw that her little plan failed. She retorted, "If he's worried, he can come to accompany you or pick you up."
"He's very busy, and he's been dealing with a lot of things lately. Il probably just wait until next time, or maybe until th

salary's paid in the middle of the month before we get together what happened in the past couple of days has been really overwhelming, said Joyceleyn as she shook her head helplessly
As an ordinary person, being thrust into the spotlight for no reason at all was still a huge shock for Joyceleyn.
Joycelyn added, "Besides, I have to go back and make up for the classes I missed."
After hearing what Joyceleyn said, as everyone stepped into the elevator, Aurelia couldn't help but ask her curiously, Joyceleyn, why did you change your major? R&D requires a lot of expertise. Wouldn't it be a bit too much for you to learn. all of this again now?"
"Actually, I've always liked science," Joyceleyn answered with a nonchalant shrug, "but my family pushed me into another field. It just so happened that the company is focusing on developing talent in this area, so I thought I'd give it another shot, If it doesn't work, I'll stick to my current job.
"At least I'll have tried and found out, which will help me move post any regrets."
After hearing this, Aurelia and the others looked at Joyceleyn with admiration.
Someone who used to be so reserved could now shine again and have the courage to pursue her dreamhs, that was something to be admired.
"Well, if you succeed and become the backbone of our company. I'll switch careers and be your secretary." Selene grinned
Joyceleyn couldn't help but chuckle. She agreed, "Alright, I'll do my best."
"I heard that Mr. Grant is going to donate a laboratory to your school. It's a key training project. Once you make it, we'll all rise to the top together," said Selene.
"Why are you so well-informed?" Joycelyn looked at Selene in admiration.
Selene said mysteriously, "Well, except for not being able to find out what your husband looks like or what the president's wife looks like, I know everything else. I even heard about Mr. Willows' extramarital affair and divorce"
If it weren't for Mr. Willows' big scandal that diverted everyone's attention, people would have been
suspicious if they dwelled on the first two matters that Selene brought up.
She had hidden her husband very well, while Ellison had hidden his wife away.
If they thought about it, they would feel that there was something strange about it.
Joyceleyn hurriedly whispered, "Mr. Willows? Do you mean Zachary Willows?"
Selene nodded vigorously.
Everyone was speechless.
Joycelyn shook her head when she heard that.
Once they reached the ground floor, Joyceleyn went to the company's main entrance to catch a taxi, while Aurelia and Selene made their way to the underground car park to drive to dinner.
Joycelyn carried the wedding favors. She got into the taxi and sent a message to Ellison.
She asked him when he would get off work. She would wait for him somewhere along the way. If he was going to be very late, she would take a taxi back herself.
She did not dare to take a taxi all the way back because she was worried that she would be followed. 2/4

Joycelyn was still very cautions about this matter.
Just after sending the message, her phone dinged Joyceleyn thought it was Ellison replying, but when she opened it, it was
from Lucy
The message read, "Help me! Holsch Hotel 808,"
Her heart skipped a beat.
She wanted to call Lucy, but she feared it might alert whoever had taken her friend. Instead, she directly
dialed the police. She also contacted the hotel front desk and explained the situation to have them check on Lucy.
Joycelyn hurriedly asked the driver to turn around and head to the hotel.
Holsch Hotel. She called Ellison for help.
Holsch Hotel was probably
Mix-star hotel under the Grant Group. Lucy was likely socializing there when she got targeted.
Ellison did not reply immediately. When Joycelyn made the second call, there was no response. Joycelyn glanced at her phone and it switched off.
She was busy today and didn't use her phone much, so she forgot to charge it!
She tried to borrow the charging cable from the taxi driver, but didn't match hers. She had no choice but to rush over first.
About half an hour later, Joycelyn hurriedly ran to the front desk to ask.
The front desk informed her that the guest in room number 808 had not arrived and the police had gone
up just now. However, they did not find anything unusual and had already lef
She asked, "Are you sure? My friend sent me a message from this place, room number 808."
The front desk staff replied, "I'm sorry, ma'am. You may go up and take a look."
Joycelyn did not believe that Lucy had sent a random message. When she borrowed a charger and charged her phone, she turned it on and called Lucy. Lucy's phone was off,
Joycelyn said, "I want to check your surveillance."
The front desk staff replied, "Ma'am, the police have already checked the footage. There's nothing out of the ordinary"
Joycelyn did not believe it. At that moment, her phone rang. The police called back to inform her that there was no kidnapping or assault case.
When Joycelyn heard this news, she felt as though a bucket of ice water was poured over her.
At this moment, Lucy was indeed not in Room 808. The moment she was discovered sending a message
for help, she was transferred to a room in another luxurious hotel nearby.
In that room, six men were leering at the helpless Lucy.
Lucy was tied up and thrown into a corner. Jordan took out Lucy's phone from his pocket, turned it on, scanned her face, and unlocked it.
He sent a message to Joycelyn containing the location, room number, and the words "Help me!"
"Do you think your dear best friend will come?" Jordan taunted.

"If you dare to touch her, her husband is- Before Lucy could finish her sentence, Jordan shoved a ball gag
in her mouth. silencing her completely.
