Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 170

Allison swung by a local diner for a quick bite before heading back to her apartment complex. As the clock ticked past ten, she felt the lateness of the hour. She parked her car and hit the elevator button, riding up to her floor.

She unlocked the door with her fingerprint, and just as she was about to step inside her apartment, someone called out her name.

“Allison.”

Shawn stood under the hallway lights, dressed sharply in a charcoal overcoat. His features were striking and handsome, with a hint of a sly smile.

He definitely knew how to make an entrance.

Allison's brow furrowed at his unexpected appearance. “Shawn, what are you doing here?”

Shawn dodged her question with one of his own. “Where've you been today? Why did you come home so late?”

Allison shot him a look. “Why do you care?”

Shawn shrugged casually. “Just looking out for you.”

“Save it.” She was in no mood for his games and turned to head inside.

“Allison, any idea where Joshua is tonight?”

Her steps faltered.

From behind her, Shawn kept talking, “He’s with Sue right now.”

That made her stop dead in her tracks. Shawn caught the change and a triumphant glint surfaced in his eyes. “Didn’t he mention it? Of course not. He wouldn’t tell you he’s with Sue.”

Allison turned to face him, her gaze steady. “Shawn, did you come all this way just to stir the pot with these stories? Do you think I’ll buy this?”

Shawn’s smirk widened, clearly enjoying himself.

Shawn was pleased with her reaction. It seemed like his guess was spot on. The Fisher family had indeed kept it all under wraps, and Allison had been left in the dark about Sue’s disappearance.

Shawn stood tall, his towering figure casting a long shadow over Allison. His presence was almost overwhelming.

With a touch of mockery, he added, “Do you really think that after ten years of obsession, Joshua felt nothing for her? Allison, you’re still so naive. You don’t understand men at all.”

Allison lowered her gaze, silent and deep in thought.

Shawn pressed on, “On the day of your engagement, yes, Sue was taken by the police. But later, she claimed to be pregnant. On the way to the hospital for a check-up, she was snatched away.”

“Think about it, who in Oak Lake has the power to pull off a daylight kidnapping from the police?”

The answer was clear.

In the whole of Oak Lake, only the Fisher family reigned supreme.
