Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

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 squeezed Allison's hand firmly, meeting Emily's gaze with a steady determination. "My loyalty is to my wife, and that's not changing."

"You... you..." Emily clutched her chest, words faltering in her fury.

"Joshua, please, keep it down. Grandma's heart isn't in the best shape; don't upset her," Lillian pleaded with him.

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.

"Alright, enough. Let's head to the screening room," Allison said icily.

At the end of the banquet hall, there were six elevators, three on each side. Each could carry fifteen people, transporting up to ninety guests at once.
