Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 257

January 3rd.

Relatives gathered at the house to celebrate the New Year, and Allison found herself in the living room, entertaining guests and chatting with the older folks.

In the midst of their conversation, a curly-haired aunt suddenly turned to Javier and asked, “Hey, what happened with the engagement to the Fisher family?”

Allison lowered her eyes, letting out a silent sigh. Some things, she thought, were just inevitable.

Javier kept his cool. “The kids didn’t see eye to eye, so we called it off.”

An uncle jumped in, “I heard the Fisher boy got mixed up with some Hollywood actress. Is that true?”

Allison couldn’t help but think: How come he’s so gossipy?

Javier responded, “Not sure. He and Allie ended things, so whatever he does now is his business.”

The curly-haired aunt chimed in again, “Did the Fisher boy cheat on Allie while they were still together? Those privileged kids often play around with celebrities and models.”

Linda quickly changed the subject, “Your purse is gorgeous! I saw it in a magazine; it’s a holiday special, right?”

The aunt beamed, shifting her attention to her designer bag. “Yes, it is! I fell in love with it at first sight. Isn’t it stunning?”

Linda smiled, “Absolutely! I wanted one myself.”

“I think it’s sold out here. I just got mine yesterday. If you want, I can try to find another for you.”

Allison frowned at his words, reflecting an outdated mindset where convenience trumped happiness.

“I...”

Allison was about to speak up when Javier couldn't hold back any longer.

“I don't like what I'm hearing,” Javier said firmly. “Others might chase after the Fisher family for their power, but the Owens family doesn’t need to. Allie is our treasure, and I won’t see her settle for less.”

Linda nodded in agreement, “Exactly, our daughter doesn’t need the Fisher family.”

The curly-haired aunt looked at Allison. “Allie, I saw you two at a recent gala. You both seemed so in love. Didn’t Joshua stand by you when you had that argument with his grandmother? He seemed truly devoted to you. How could things fall apart so quickly?”
