Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 207

"Joshua, | think the person who shovedtoday might have been sent by Chris. | can't imagine anyone else

who'd go that far."

Joshua's grip on Allison tightened, his dark eyes flashing with a fierce intensity. "I've looked into it, and Chris is

indeed back in town."

Allison froze.

"Allie, for now, perhaps you should stay hand work remotely."

"Is Chris really that terrifying?"

Joshua released her, placing his hands gently on her shoulders, locking eyes with her. "I can't take any chances,

Allie. The thought of you almost getting hurt today scaresto death. You're more important tothan

anything."

His eyes reddened slightly, "I know | can take on Chris. | can match his ruthlessness, but he's different. He lacks

feelings, weaknesses, even humanity.

But | have you.

"Allie, | can't risk your safety."

The dining room was bright, and the aroma from the food on the table was enticing. In the living room, the TV

murmured the evening news in the background.

Allison lowered her lashes, her eyes stinging with unshed tears. She whispered, "Joshua, am | holding you back?"

Joshua's eyes softened with guilt. "Don't say that, Allie. If anything, I've dragged you into this mess. If it weren't

for me, Lillian wouldn't be after you, and Chris wouldn't have you on his radar."

Allison shook her head gently, "You've never been a burden to me. I've never thought that."

"But | have," Joshua sighed. "And that's the truth. Please, just stay in for a few days, alright? I'll be with you

every day."

Allison nodded, "Okay."

"By the way, Joshua, | need you to look into someone for me."

"Who?"

"Blake."

Joshua's eyes sharpened, "The guy who hired thugs to scare you today?"

"Yeah," Allison nodded. "Something tellshe's got someone powerful backing him. How could a

small-tfactory owner have the guts to send thugs after me, acting like skind of mob boss?

QUMS

Joshua replied, "I've already set people on it."

"Good."

"Allie, let's eat before the food gets cold." Joshua pulled out a chair and sat next to Allison.

"Okay, join me?"

Chris lounged in the backseat of the car, while Liam, his driver and bodyguard, checked the rearview mirror.

"Chris, are we heading back to Miss Yara's villa tonight?"

Yara was local, cfrom a well-off family, and becan international travel guide out of passion. She hadn't

returned to the States since she started seeing Chris two years ago.

en

Yara was his favorite back in South America, and she had joined him on this trip home.

The man in the backseat lit a cigarette, lifting his gaze slightly. "Nah, let's go see that girl. You know, the

innocent-looking one — what's her nagain?"

Chris had a knack for indulgence, combined with striking good looks. His eyes could make anyone swoon, and he

had countless lovers. Even here, just a few days, many girls had willingly thrown themselves at him.

As long as they were attractive, Chris welcomed them all.

He thrived on living life on the edge, with a constant threat of not seeing

tomorrow. His motto was to indulge and enjoy life to its fullest.

Chris reveled in extrpleasure, using sex to blow off steam.

For Chris, women were just a way to relieve stress. He could be with many, giving

them whatever they wanted, except for love.

He was a man devoid of emotions, without a heart. To him, love was the most pointless thing of all.
