Chapter 142

Allison strolled into the room, looking effortlessly chic in her beige Chanel suit. Her long hair was styled into a

sleek bun at the back of her neck, and the pearl earrings she wore seemed to add just the right touch of

elegance. She carried herself with the kind of grace you'd expect from someone raised in a well-to-do family,

every move exuding charm.

But Emily wasn't having it. She gave Allison a thorough once-over, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Those fancy

designer clothes don't really suit our girls. I've always thought a long dress does the trick. Just look at how

gorgeous Lilliam looks in hers."

Allison nodded, keeping her tone soft and respectful, "You're right, Grandma."

Emily arched an eyebrow. "You're not officially in the family yet, so why don't you stick to callingMrs. Fisher,

like everyone else."

Rose, who was nearby, blinked in surprise. What was Emily getting at? Her manner towards Allison seemed a bit

off. Wasn't Allison and Joshua's engagement practically a done deal? Calling her “Grandma” seemed perfectly

normal. Why insist on “Mrs. Fisher” as if Allison were a stranger?

Rose felt a flicker of annoyance. Allison was going to be her daughter-in-law, and treating her like an outsider

didn't sit well.

Allison was taken aback for a moment too. It seemed Emily had skind of issue with her. A quick glance at

Lillian, who looked quite pleased with herself standing next to Emily, gave Allison all the clues she needed. Lillian

must have been stirring the pot.

Keeping her cool, Allison responded, "Alright, Mrs. Fisher."

Rose couldn't hold back any longer. She chimed in warmly, "Mom, Allison is Joshua's fiancée, your future

granddaughter-in-law. It makes perfect sense for her to call you Grandma. Calling you Mrs. Fisher just feels too

formal."

Emily took a slow sip from her mug, her eyes cold as she looked at Rose, her tone firm and unwavering. “The

engagement party was called off. Right now, she and Joshua are just dating. CallingGrandma is jumping the

gun.”

Rose's eyebrows knitted together. What was Emily playing at now?

After that, Emily turned her attention to Lillian, chatting away, leaving Allison to stand awkwardly to the side.

Allison was aware of Emily's

deliberate snub, but didn't let it ruffle her feathers. Emily clearly favored Lillian, who had no love for Allison, so it

wasn't surprising that she followed suit.

Allison shrugged it off. After all, she was going to marry Joshua, not Emily, so not getting her approval wasn't the

end of the world. Plus, her future mother-in-law Rose was quite fond of her. While Emily ignored Allison, Rose was

warm and engaging, treating her with kindness.

Emily watched how Rose and Allison were getting along, and her expression turned sour. She glanced at the

clock on the wall and said in a distant tone, "It's almost dinnertime. Allison, why don't you set the table for

everyone?"

Allison frowned slightly, ready to say something, but Rose jumped in to defend her. “Mom, setting the table is a

job for the staff. Allie is a guest; it's not right to ask her to do it."

Emily's eyes blazed and her tone becsharp with anger. “Didn't you just say she's my granddaughter-in- law?

As her elder, it's perfectly fine forto ask her to set the table."

Allison was taken aback by Emily's statement.

How ironic. Just a moment ago, it was too early to call her Grandma, and now she was supposed to act like a

granddaughter-in-law? The nerve of it.

The last tthey met, Emily had been civil. What had changed to bring about such hostility? Who knows what

kind of stories Lillian had been feeding Emily.

As Allison opened her mouth to speak, a commanding voice cut through the tension from the elevator entrance.

“Grandma, Allie is too precious to be doing the help's work."
