Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn)

Allison had a brush with death, but she managed to pull through. Things weren't looking so bright for Ben, though. The doctor broke the bad news: Ben had been poisoned for a while, and the toxins had spread through his vital organs to a point where medicine couldn't help anymore. When Grandma Emily heard this, she fainted right there.

The next day, Rose headed to the prison. Through the glass, she saw Lillian in her prison uniform. Rose sat on the other side, and they spoke through a handset. Lillian's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Rose, did hell freeze over for you to visit me?"

Ever since Lillian's crush on Joshua came to light and got her a slap from Rose, their pretense of a loving mother-daughter bond had shattered. Eventually, Lillian was kicked out of the Fisher family. From then on, she stopped calling Rose "Mom" and just used her name. Rose hadn't visited her since Lillian's arrest, trial, and sentencing. Only Grandma Emily had stopped by twice, still doting on Lillian despite the poisoning scandal.

Rose's eyes were steely as she got straight to the point, "Did you poison Ben?"

"Poison? Ben got poisoned?" Lillian feigned surprise, but couldn't hide the glint of amusement in her eyes.noveldrama

"Cut the act," Rose said, her face stern. "No one else had a reason to poison him. Chris put you up to it."

Lillian chuckled, "Mrs. Fisher, you can't just throw around accusations like that. You say I poisoned Ben, but do you have any proof?"

"If you did it, there'd be signs. The evidence will show up."

With a smirk of smug defiance, Lillian said, "So, no proof yet, huh?"

Rose's eyes turned icy, "Lillian, if you poisoned Ben, the Fisher family won't let it slide. Are you counting on Chris to bail you out? You probably don't know, but Chris has been arrested."

Lillian's smile dropped, and her voice shot up, "What did you say? Chris was arrested?"

A cold smile played on Rose's lips, "Did you really think Chris was untouchable here? During the

presidential election, his supportnet

collapsed. The new president teamed up with various forces to take him down. He barely escaped, trying to drag Joshua down with him in Oak Lake. Thankfully, Joshua's bodyguards stopped him. Chris is now in custody, unable to save even himself. Do you think he's going to save you?"

The mention of Chris's attack on Joshua made Lillian's heart skip a beat, and she blurted, "Is Joshua okay? Was he hurt?"

Rose's reply was cold, "That's none

of your business. There's no one to save you now. If you confess to poisoning Ben, it'll count as a voluntary admission, which might lead to a lighter sentence. But if the police find evidence proving your guilt, you'll miss any chance of leniency."

"Lighter sentence?" Lillian's eyes were full of mockery. "Do you think I'm that gullible? If I did poison Ben, do you think the Fisher family would let me off easy? A lighter sentence is a joke."

Rose's voice was like ice, "So you're not planning to confess?"

Lillian's response was airtight, "Why would I admit to something I didn't do?"
