Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 286

Upon hearing the plan, Grandma Emily frowned deeply. "It's just too risky. You're the only heir of the Fisher family, and I'm not about to let you put yourself in harm's way!"

"Yeah, big brother, you really can't go. We should just call the police and let them handle rescuing Allison. If you go, Chris will surely come after you."

Joshua's expression turned steely, his gaze sharp and unyielding. "I said no calling the police."

"But I'm just worried about you, big brother..." Lillian's voice wavered, her eyes welling up with tears, feeling hurt by his harsh look.

She might have been laying it on a bit thick, but her fear was genuine—she dreaded the thought of Joshua not coming back.

Joshua brushed off Lillian's pleas and turned to Mr. and Mrs. Fisher and Grandma Emily. "Mom, Dad, Grandma, this is the best shot we've got at rescuing her. I need you all to back me up on this."

Grandma Emily shook her head firmly. "I can't agree to this. You can't go."

Joshua's jaw tightened, his demeanor resolute. "Grandma, the decision's been made."

The message was clear: her disapproval wouldn't change his mind.

"You... you..." Grandma Emily's voice quivered with anger. "You're really ready to risk your life for a woman? Fine, fine, I give up trying to control you. I'll get your grandpa involved!"

Seeing the old lady so upset, Ben quickly tried to calm her down, gently rubbing her back. "Mom, please, take it easy. We don't want another heart scare."

Ben was in a real bind. Grandma Emily had had a heart attack not long ago and barely pulled through. Now, with her so worked up, he worried she might not last until Allison was saved.

"Big brother, you can't do this. Grandma's heart is fragile; she can't handle this kind of stress. If something happens to you, it'll break her heart..."
