Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 325

Allison couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Mandy quickly chimed in, "Uh, Mr. Watson, just so you know, our Allison's got perfectly normal preferences. I've got some errands to run, so take your time, you two."

Allison responded politely, "Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye, dear niece-in-law!" Mandy chuckled, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

Allison was momentarily speechless.

Once Mandy left, Watson looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, Allison. My aunt just loves to joke around. Please don't take it to heart."

"It's all good," Allison smiled. "I didn't expect someone like you, Watson, to be under pressure to get married. I thought a man of your caliber would already have a girlfriend or fiancée."

At this, Watson gave Allison a meaningful glance before quickly averting his eyes. "I'm waiting for someone."

"What?" Allison was momentarily puzzled, but then she caught on. "Oh, I see."

"It's getting late. Let me drive you home," Watson offered, standing up and grabbing his coat.

"No need," Allison stood up too. "I drove here myself."

"But you had a drink," Watson gently reminded her.

"Oh, right," Allison nodded. "No worries, I'll just call a driver to pick me up."

She had planned to visit her sister at the Owens family estate tonight.

"That works," Watson agreed, not pressing the issue further.

...

In a secluded countryside mansion, tensions were running high.

The mention of Chris sent a shiver down Shawn's spine.

Chris was notorious, the kind of guy who'd use a high-powered rifle in broad daylight to hunt down Joshua. Joshua might have survived Chris's wrath, but Shawn knew he wouldn't stand a chance.

He was just an ordinary rich kid, a playboy who'd only recently started taking his family's business seriously, unlike his past days of reckless indulgence. A man with no real power, no trained mercenaries under his command.

The bodyguards he hired would be no match for Chris's men, who could wipe them out in seconds.

If Chris really decided to come after him, Shawn knew he wouldn't survive.

With this grim realization, Shawn gritted his teeth and chose to keep quiet.

The partnership between Lillian and Shawn was officially over.

Neither of them noticed the hidden camera nestled among the branches outside the mansion.
