Ben relaxed his furrowed brow and asked, "What did the Owens family say about all this?" Joshua's expression remained unchanged, his demeanor calm as he replied, "Not much." Rose was taken aback, "I'll go visit the Owens family tomorrow to see Lizzy. I'll bring sgifts to apologize to Javier and his wife. After all, Lizzy got kidnapped because of our family." Grandma Emily snorted, pursing her lips in disapproval. "There's no need for that. The girl cback perfectly fine, didn't she? Nothing happened to her, so why should we lower ourselves like this? Rose, you are the lady of the Fisher family, remember your status. Your actions reflect on us. Don't do anything that lowers our dignity." Rose frowned, "Mom, how can this be considered lowering our dignity? Something like this happened, and if we ignore it, that's what's truly unacceptable." Joshua added, "Grandma, the kidnapping left a significant psychological impact on Lizzy. Her mental state isn't great right now." The underlying message was clear: Lizzy wasn't exactly "perfectly fine," and the Fisher family needed to own up to that.
"Hmph." Grandma Emily's eyes were filled with displeasure. "She was just frightened. It's normal for kids to get scared; she'll be fine in a few days. Don't make such a fuss." Rose frowned, glancing between Grandma Emily and Joshua, as if she wanted to say something but held back. Joshua remained indifferent, unfazed by Grandma Emily's sarcasm. He simply turned to Rose and said, "If you plan to visit Lizzy, you should inform Javier or Linda first. Lizzy is undergoing therapy at hand might not be ready for visitors." Rose nodded, "Alright." Seeing herself being ignored, Grandma Emily's expression turned sour. "Joshua, are you contradicting your grandmother?" Joshua's lips barely moved. "How could I? If you, with your high status, don't want to visit the Owens family, that's your choice. I can't change that, can I?" "Do you really not understand my point, or are you pretending not to? I'm forbidding you from going to the Owens family." Grandma Emily then turned to her daughter-in-law Rose, "And you are not to go either!" "Mom..." Rose looked troubled.
"Brother, please don't argue with Grandma..." Lillian said softly.
Joshua didn't even glance at Lillian. He stood up and said, "I have things to attend to. I'll be going now." With that, he turned and left.
"Brother-" Lillian called after Joshua's retreating figure.
"Look at how he's behaving now!" Grandma Emily fumed.

Grandma Emily gave Rose a cold look. "Calm down? yoy didn? upset me, would Pneed to calm down?" Rose sighed silently, at a loss for words.
"Grandma try sof the tea Lillian made. It's pre-rain Longjing, your favorite. “Lillian handed a cup of tea to Grandma Emily. "See if my tea-making skills have improved." Rover Grandma Emily took a sip, her expression softening a bit. "Lillian always knows how to behave." Rose glanced at Lillian but said nothing as she turned to leave.
Ben, who rarely had a say in the family, especially since his illegitimate son was involved in this levenlless face incident, had evenved in this face to speak He feigned ignorance of the tension between Grandma Emily and Joshua, pretending he hadn't heard a thing. He took a sip of tea, muttered a few token words, and left as well. During the meeting at the law firm, Allison found herself a bit distracted.
