Chapter 100 

Chapter 100 

Joycelyn carried Linda’s handbag and followed them. 

The venue of this international exchange center was large and grand. At a glance, the place was filled with elites from various industries, all dressed in suits and looking polished and glamorous. 

People from different countries and with different skin tones all had translators with them. 

Confidence and ambition were written all over their faces. 

This was the first time Joycelyn had come to such a large international venue. She followed Ellison and watched him pass through the crowd and walk on the red carpet. The people on both sides would take the initiative to greet him in Ratanian. 

Ellison kept a cool expression, nodding in acknowledgment. 

On the other hand, Joycelyn looked like a lackey who followed him to witness a grand event. 

“This guy is even more charming when he is in a grand setting,‘ she thought. 

With that back, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, as well as a sleek and toned back that was tall and straight, he was irresistibly handsome no matter from which angle one looked at him. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as noble and otherworldly. 

Joycelyn followed without looking away. She even forgot about the bickering in the morning. 

The advantages of having a handsome man as a partner were completely highlighted. 

Linda turned around and instructed Joycelyn, Joycelyn, go over there and bring me a cup of coffee. I want to perk myself up. Bring it to our company’s lounge later.” 

Joycelyn immediately retracted her gaze and looked in the direction Linda pointed. 

“Oh, okay.” Joycelyn handed the handbag in her hand to Linda and went to get the coffee. 

She also grabbed a cup for Ellison and William while she was at i 

As the CEO’s wife, Joycelyn was pretty used to the job of being a sidekick. 

After returning to the lounge, Joycelyn handed the coffee to Ellison and said, “Mr. Grant, your coffee. 

Ellison glanced at her, took the coffee, and placed it beside him. 

William immediately took the coffee that was handed to him and said in a particularly flattered tone, “Thank you so much 

On the other hand, Linda took it calmly and took two sips. Then she lifted her watch, glanced at it, and said. “Mr. Grant, it 

will start in five minuto 

Seated in the main chair, Ellison asked in a serious voice, “How’s your preparation going?” 

Linda said confidently, “Mr. Grant, I will definitely live up to your expectations.” 

“Mm.” Ellison nodded, his blue eyes casually sweeping across Jocelyn, who was standing behind Linda

His deep gaze landed on Joycelyn’s face. Without blinking, his eyes exuded a powerful presence. 

Joycelyn pretended not to notice, zoning out as she kept scanning the surroundings. 

She could not quite figure out why Ellison had chosen to let Linda go on stage to give a speech when he had brought so many people. 

Linda brought me here to crush me with her abilities, and she would then make Ellison change his mind and take her on the business trip instead?‘ she thought. 

“Let’s go,” Ellison said as he stood up and walked past his sidekick Joycelyn. He gave her a deep glance. 

Joycelyn’s heart raced for no apparent reason. 

She remained strong and calm, pretending to be immune to his handsome and mature manly charm. 

“Joycelyn, come with me,” Linda said, carrying her handbag and gesturing for Joycelyn to follow her to the waiting area. 

Joycelyn followed Linda. Just as they reached the waiting area, Linda suddenly bent over and covered her throat. She was in extreme pain. 

It happened so suddenly that Joycelyn was caught off guard. 

“Linda, what’s wrong with you?” Joycelyn said. Looking at Linda, who was slowly collapsing to the ground, she quickly went forward to support her. 

“Joycelyn, what did you put in my coffee?” Linda said. “My throat Her voice had a kind of hysterical hoarseness, and some rashes had started to appear on her face. 

Joycelyn was stunned, completely not expecting Linda to question her like this. She immediately calmed down and explained, “That coffee was provided by the event organizer. I didn’t tamper with it. If you don’t believe me, you can call the police and check the surveillance footage.” 

Linda was stunned and stared at Joycelyn intently 

Joycelyn’s face remained calm, not compromising in the slightes after getting hurled mud at by Linda. 

There were more and more onlookers. Everyone could tell that something was off with Linda. 

“Is she having an allergic reaction? It looks like allergy symptoms Ma’am, are you allergic? I have allergy medication here. You’ll get better right away after taking it.” A staff member went forward, offering his medication and asking Linda if she needed help. 

Linda saw the anti–allergy medication and naturally wouldn’t take it. 

‘If I take it and feel better right away, my plan will be ruined,‘ she thought. 

The coffee handed over by Joycelyn was indeed fine. It was Lind herself who had secretly eaten dried mangoes, which she was allergic to. She was allergic to mangoes and had never eaten them since childhood 

If it weren’t for her plan to drag Joycelyn into trouble, she wouldn’t have taken such a huge risk. 

Linda shook lier head weakly and said, “I don’t know either. I jus drank coffee. I’m not allergic to collee.” 

Joycelyn was about to suggest calling an ambulance, but Linda grabbed her hand and said, “Let’s forget about whether or not

it’s you who wants to harm me. I need to be on stage in a bit.

“You go on stage and deliver the speech for me. After all, your Mersian is pretty good. Just think of it as a training. I’ve prepared the speech manuscript. Just take it out of my bag. Our department is in charge of this project. No one knows it better than we do.” 

Linda spoke to Joycelyn in a very hoarse voice. 

Joycelyn frowned, looking at Linda, while also hearing the emcee begin introducing Grant Group’s background. 

She was effectively being put on the hot seat with no other choice but to go along. 

“Alright!” Joycelyn threw caution to the wind and went for it, taking the speech manuscript from Linda’s tote bag. 

Just then, another staff member came to urge the speaker from Grant Group to go on stage, and Linda pointed at the hesitant Joycelyn. 

“Young lady, hurry up!” the staff member said as he went forward to support Joycelyn and push her toward the podium. As soon as she stepped out, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were focused solely on her. 

Joycelyn had never spoken to so many people before. She immediately felt her limbs go weak. 

Just as she bit the bullet and opened the speech manuscript to begin introducing herself, she noticed that every page of the script was blank. 

Joycelyn’s mind went blank, and she was stunned, her clear eyes widening in disbelief. 

Joycelyn then turned to look in the direction of Linda and noticed that she had completely changed from her earlier weakness. She was looking at her coldly and smugly. 

I’ve been set up, Joycelyn thought. “This project is crucial for Grant Group’s development internationally. If I mess this up, the company’s reputation will be ruined. Linda is trying to screw me up big time.”
