Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 245

Allison walked past them with a frosty look, choosing not to engage in any conversation.

Once she was out of earshot, Megan gave Joshua a playful nudge. "Hey, isn't it wild that she is on the same flight as us?"

Joshua kept his gaze lowered, not saying a word.

"Wow, you look like you're carrying the weight of the world, huh? Must be tough."

...

Bright and early the next day, Allison and Pierce made their way to the golf course. Allison was sporting a white athletic outfit, her hair swept up in a high ponytail, radiating youthful energy. Eric's eyes lit up the moment he saw her.

Pierce introduced them, “This is Eric from Infinique Ventures. Eric, meet Ms. Allison from our firm.”

Allison flashed a warm smile. “Hello.”

Her easy smile made Eric's heart skip a beat. He chuckled, “I wasn't expecting such a young and beautiful lawyer from your firm.”

Allison just smiled, letting Pierce take over the conversation.

“Do you play golf often, Ms. Allison?” Eric asked.

Allison shook her head, “I know a bit, but I wouldn’t say I’m a fan.”

Eric, sensing an opening, grinned wider, “No worries, I can show you the ropes.”

“What’s got you all chatting so happily?”

A voice cut through the conversation.

Allison froze for a moment.

Joshua approached, with someone tagging along.

Eric immediately shifted gears, adopting a respectful tone, “Mr. Fisher, are you here for a round as well? We were just discussing hobbies, got a bit carried away with laughter. Hope we didn’t bother you.”

Allison's hand clenched at her side as she met Joshua's eyes, offering a polite, “Hello Mr. Fisher.”

Once they were far enough away, Mills, who had been quiet up until now, finally spoke up, curiosity piqued, “Joshua, wasn’t that your fiancée back there? You both acted like you didn’t know each other.”

Mills had moved to America over a decade ago. He didn’t know Allison but had seen her photo at Joshua's place back then.

Joshua had once confessed she was the girl he’d been secretly in love with.

Mills even came back home just to attend Joshua and Allison’s engagement party, congratulating him for finally being with the girl he’d long admired.

“We broke up.”

“What?” Mills was taken aback, “How did that happen? You waited so many years for this.”

A caddy handed Joshua a club.

Joshua took it, swinging it effortlessly before explaining, “I didn’t want her caught up in the chaos. Being with me nearly cost her life.”

Mills got it. During the engagement party, Allison’s sister was kidnapped, Joshua was badly hurt, and the whole thing had to be called off. Later, it was revealed that the Fisher family’s adopted daughter had orchestrated the whole mess with Chris pulling strings behind the scenes.
