Chapter 192

Lillian felt a sharp sting in her heart at the word "wife," which was like a dagger twisting inside her. Joshua was so fiercely defending Allison! They weren't even engaged, and he was already calling her his wife. How could he?

Emily was fuming, her chest rising and falling with anger. "Joshua, you're part of the Fisher family. How can you side with an outsider?"

Joshua let out a dry chuckle, hitting the nail on the head. "Maybe if you didn't stir up so much trouble, she wouldn't be this upset."

Lillian was left speechless, her insides swirling with anger and frustration.
