Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 490

The closer the shark got, the louder the crowd screamed—and the more terrified Trayson became.

Joshua noticed Allison had spoken up. His point had been made, so he gave a small nod. “Alright.”

He signaled for someone to toss down a small inflatable raft and a life jacket, then lowered a rope. Two bodyguards moved quickly to haul Trayson out of the water.

It had only been a few minutes since he’d been thrown overboard, but for Trayson, every second felt like a lifetime of pure panic. He’d stared death in the face and barely made it back.

Even after he was pulled onto the deck, the fear didn’t let go. He was a shaking mess, shouting things like, “Help! Please don’t feed me to the sharks! I swear, I’m sorry!” over and over, looking completely out of his mind.

Lottie was frozen with fear. Her legs had gone numb, her whole body trembling. All she could think was: If she hadn’t agreed to Allison’s way of making peace, would she be in Trayson’s place right now? Would Joshua have thrown her into the ocean too?

Around them, people who’d never liked Trayson and Lottie in the first place were already pulling out their phones, snapping photos and recording videos. The whole thing was just too wild to miss. Moments like this didn’t come around every day.

Not everyone found it entertaining. Carolyn’s heart felt heavy with guilt. She looked at Allison, eyes red from holding back tears. “Allison, I honestly had no idea there was anything between you and Trayson or Lottie. I swear, I never would’ve let them on board if I’d known.”

Allison gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “I believe you.”

Carolyn stared at her in disbelief. “You really do?”

It hurt—she’d spent over seven years loving a man who didn’t trust her, but her supposed rival actually did.

Allison nodded. “You’re not that kind of person.”
