Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn)

"You-Javier, you-" Grandma Emily was practically shaking with fury, her finger trembling as she pointed at Javier. "You've really crossed the line! Threatening to kill Lillian in broad daylight? Do you even care about the law? Believe me, I'll call the police this instant and have you arrested!"

"Call the police, huh?" Javier's voice was icy, a smirk playing on his lips. "Go on! Let them dig into what really happened with Allie's kidnapping!"

Grandma Emily's face turned ghostly pale, her breath coming in ragged gasps as if she might collapse any moment.

"Quick! Get her medicine!" Ben barked at the housemaid.

The maid rushed off like her feet were on fire.

Meanwhile, Joshua decided to break the tension.

"If Grandma wants to involve the police, let's do it. I'm just as curious to find out who spilled the beans, how Chris knew where Allie was, and the real reason behind my breakup and canceled engagement."

With those words, Joshua gave Lillian a stare so cold it could freeze summer. "You, stay right here and wait for the cops."

Lillian looked on the brink of tears, her big eyes glistening with unshed tears, the picture of innocence.

"Brother, you really think I'd betray you? This is life and death, no way I'd spill to outsiders..."

"Javier, get out! Leave! You're not welcome here in the Fisher family..." Grandma Emily's glare could have set Javier on fire.

Joshua's voice was a slice of winter. "Grandma, enough."

Despite calling her Grandma, his tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.

Seeing her beloved grandson defending Allison like this and speaking so sternly, Grandma Emily's heart felt like it was encased in ice.

"I'm not leaving."

Javier shot Grandma Emily a defiant look. "Call the police! I'll wait for them to uncover the truth!"

Ben stepped in, trying to calm things down. "Come on, we're all family here, let's ease up a bit."noveldrama

Javier snapped back, "Family? Not with you folks. I can't handle this kind of family; it's like signing a death wish!"

Ben sighed, turning to Grandma

Emily with a weary look. "Mom, please don't stress yourself into a heart attack. Why don't you go rest upstairs? Joshua and I can handle this."

"Yes, Mom, you should take it easy," Haley chimed in.

"I'm not going anywhere!" Grandma Emily's voice was steely. "I want the police to

come, find out what's what, and make Allison apologize to Lillian."

Allison chuckled dryly at this. "Apologize? Not a chance."

Lillian's tears fell quietly, a picture of sorrow and vulnerability. "Grandra, I don't know what I did wrong. Why does Allison hate me so much? I didn't leak anything... Boohoo... Dad, Mom, do you believe me?"

Ben felt his heart melt, seeing his daughter's tear-streaked face,

marked by a red slap. He gentel

assured her, "Don't cry, you've been wronged, sweetheart."

Haley's brows knitted together, her eyes studying Lillian with a hint of suspicion.

Allison stepped out from behind Joshua, her gaze piercing into Lillian's. "Cut the act, you snake. It's sickening."

This remark sent Grandma Emily into another bout of rage.

Watching her struggle to breathe, the maid hurried to give her medicine.

Ben frowned at Allison. "You should tone it down too..."

Allison scoffed, "I'm not part of the Fisher family anymore, so why should I listen to you?"

Ben was left speechless by her words.

"So we're not calling the cops, huh?" Javier pulled out his phone. "I'll do it myself."
