Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 298

"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!"
