Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 256

Joshua let out a sarcastic laugh, a flicker of loneliness in his eyes. "Causing trouble? You're overthinking it. I haven't talked to her in ages."

Grandma Emily's voice was firm and unyielding. "Well, you should just go on that blind date like a good boy."

Joshua turned away, sauntering upstairs with a relaxed pace, tossing back a casual, "Not going."

"You're getting more and more insolent!" Grandma Emily shouted at his retreating back, frustration evident in her tone.

Lillian gently rubbed the old lady's back to calm her down. "Grandma, don't let it get to you."

The elderly woman took a deep breath and sighed, "Lillian, just look at your brother now. He talks to me without any respect. He was never like this before."

Lillian chimed in with a sweet tone, "Yeah, ever since he started seeing Allison, he's completely changed. He never used to speak to you like this. It has to be Allison stirring things up."

"Do you think Allison's causing this?" Grandma Emily asked.

"Absolutely, Grandma. Every time Allison's involved, he acts totally different. I can't think of any other reason except Allison driving a wedge between you two."

"Let's not jump to conclusions, sweet Lillian," Megan interjected, cracking open a sunflower seed leisurely. "Did you sneak under their bed and hear Allison causing trouble?"

Lillian shot Megan a sharp look, her expression sour. "No, but..."

Megan cut her off, "Did Allison whisper anything directly to you to bring about trouble?"

Lillian's face darkened, "No."

Lillian was about to lose it but remembered the old lady sitting beside her. She quickly switched tactics, putting on a pitiful look and softening her voice, "Cousin, have I done something to upset you?"

"Yes, are you blind? Can't you see that?" Megan rolled her eyes. "I absolutely can't stand sneaky people."

"Cousin, what did I do to offend you? Why are you so hostile?"

Megan chuckled, "Not only blind but deaf too, are we?"

Raising her voice, Megan clearly enunciated, "I said, I, absolutely, despise, sneaky, people!"

With that, Megan beamed brightly, deliberately raising her voice in a teasing tone. "Did you catch that, hun?"
