Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 171

Allison couldn't even entertain the thought. Her heart felt like it was stuck in her throat, and her fingers had the slightest tremor. No way. Joshua wouldn't do something like this! He had always said she was the only one for him. But how on earth could she explain the recording Shawn just played?

Allison's mind was a tangled mess. Shawn stayed quiet for a moment, giving her all the time in the world to stew in her thoughts. After a bit, he spoke up again, "Sue kidnapped your sister and tried to kill you. Joshua took a knife for you; she nearly took him out! With everything Sue's pulled, there's no way the Fisher family should've let her slip. But think about it. She was already in police custody. So why did someone bust her out the moment she said she was pregnant?"

Allison knitted her brows, her lips clamped shut in silence. "Why don't you take a guess—whose baby is Sue carrying?" Shawn's words struck like a lightning bolt. Allison's body trembled uncontrollably from the shock.

"Shut up!" she snapped, her emotions spilling over as she glared at Shawn. "Stop spewing lies and stirring the pot! Joshua isn't like that! He's not like you! Just because your mind's in the gutter doesn't mean everyone else's is!"

A flicker of hurt crossed Shawn's brown eyes, a bitter taste welling inside him. Was Joshua really that flawless in her eyes? And was he really that awful? Shawn swallowed his bitterness and put on a laid-back facade, a small smile playing on his lips. "I'm only telling the truth, Allison. You're putting too much faith in Joshua. If there's nothing shady going on, why would he keep you in the dark?"

"Get lost!" Allison spat, her anger simmering.

Shawn shrugged, chuckling softly, "Joshua's with Sue right now. Why not call him and see for yourself?"
