NovelUpdateChapter 325 Allison couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Mandy quickly chimed in, "Uh, Mr. Watson, just so you know, our Allison's got perfectly normal preferences. I've got serrands to run, so take your time, you two." Allison responded politely, "Okay, goodbye." "Goodbye, dear niece-in-law!" Mandy chuckled, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
Allison was momentarily speechless.

"I didn't expect someone like you, Watson, to be under pressure to get married. I thought a man of your caliber would already have a girlfriend or fiancée." At this, Watson gave Allison a meaningful glance before quickly averting his eyes. "I'm waiting for someone." "What?" Allison was momentarily puzzled, but then she caught on. "Oh, I see." "It's getting late. Letdrive you home," Watson offered, standing up and grabbing his coat.
"No need," Allison stood up too. "I drove here myself." "But you had a drink," Watson gently reminded her.
"Oh, right," Allison nodded. "No worries, I'll just call a driver to pickup." She had planned to visit her sister at the Owens family estate tonight.
"That works," Watson agreed, not pressing the issue further.
In a secluded countryside mansion, tensions were running high.
Shawn shouted angrily, "You want to useto get rid of Allison? You know Chris will kill her if I call the police, yet you still pushedto do it!" Lillian laughed coldly, "So what? I've always wished for Allison's demise!" "Lillian!" Shawn yelled, veins popping on his forehead. "You once said breaking up Allison and Joshua was enough, but now you're talking about killing her!" "That was then," Lillian's eyes were full of scorn, her lips curling into a sneer. "Now I just want her gone. Only then will my brother finally notice me." "You lunatic!" Shawn was fuming, his chest heaving with anger. He tried to lunge at her, but Lillian's bodyguards blocked his path.
"Look at yourself, Shawn," Lillian said with disdain. "What good are you? No wonder Allison never wanted you. Even after the breakup, she never gave you a second glance. You're no use toanymore. Our partnership is over." Shawn snapped back, "Aren't you afraid I'll spill the beans to Joshua about everything you've done?" Lillian burst into laughter as if she'd heard the funniest joke. "Did I hear that right?" she smirked at Shawn. "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't forget who I've got backing me," Lillian said smugly. "To Chris, I'm more valuable than you Just think about it if you blab about my actions and the Fisher family kicksout, I'll lose my value to Chris. Do you think he'd spare you?" The mention of Chris sent a shiver down Shawn's spine.

Chris was notorious, the kind of guy who'd use a high-powered rifle in broad daylight to hunt down Joshua. Joshua might have survived Chris's wrath, but Shawn knew he wouldn't stand a chance.
He was just an ordinary rich kid, a playboy who'd only recently started taking his family's business seriously, unlike his past days or et reckless indulgence. A man with no real power, no trained mercenaries under his command.
The bodyguards he hired would be no match for Chris's men, who could wipe them out in seconds.
If Chris really decided to cafter him, Shawn knew he wouldn't survive.
With this grim realization, Shawn gritted his teeth and chose to keep quiet.
The partnership between Lillian and Shawn was officially over.
Neither of them noticed the hidden camera nestled among the branches outside the mansion.
