The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Alexander raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed by the setup. It was a notch above the Carter Group's facilities.

Then it hit him where Allison's four billion dollars had gone. Despite the hefty price tag, it seemed like a solid investment. Alexander realized he still had a long way to go in

the wealth game.

Stepping out of the room, Allison spotted Alexander in the courtyard and hurried over. "What are you looking at?"

She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

Alexander turned, smiling, and pulled her into his arms. "Where am I staying?"

Allison was caught off guard. "You want to stay here too?"

Alexander's expression changed. "You weren't planning to stay here alone and leave me out, were you? Allison, are you trying to ditch me?"

Allison laughed but felt a bit awkward since she hadn't prepared a room for him.

"Teddy gets to stay, but I can't? That's harsh, Allison," Alexander said, pretending to be hurt.

With a sigh, Allison playfully kicked him. "Keep it up, and I'll lock you out for a month." Alexander tightened his hold on her waist, kissing her forehead. "Would you really leave me out for a month? That's cold, Allison."

Allison smiled, kissing his chin. "Actually, it's Teddy who needs to be secluded here for a month. I'm still a student, so I have student things to do. As for you staying here, the Bishop family has a rule: only those who marry into the family can live here."

She giggled, leaning into Alexander's chest. "So, Alexander, are you ready to marry in?"

Without a word, Alexander hoisted Allison over his shoulder and carried her out. They got into the car, and he buckled her seatbelt before driving to Dreamscape Tower. Allison was puzzled. "What are we doing here at this hour?"

Dreamscape Tower was Skycrest's largest shopping center, but it was nearly 9 PM. Allison had never gone shopping this late before.

"I wanted to bring you here earlier, but you've been so busy. Tomorrow is our engagement party, and you need to try on your dress. You're busier than I am, Allison," Alexander remarked.

She laughed, linking arms with him as they headed inside.

James was waiting at the entrance, but someone suddenly rushed toward them.

"Allison, where have you been hiding? You're despicable! You got your brother sent to prison, and now you're here with a man. You owe me an explanation!" Helena demanded.

Allison was shocked to see Helena.

Alexander stepped in front of her, his gaze icy as he stared at Helena.

Helena instinctively took a step back, knowing she couldn't afford to anger Alexander.

Allison emerged from behind him, calm and composed. "I have nothing to hide from, and certainly not from you! What do you want? Is this about Preston? You drove him mad, and now you're coming after me? Can't let go of your two lovers? Both father and son have become your lovers. You're really something!"

Allison's hatred for the Ember family ran deep. They'd treated her like dirt since she was a kid, even though she was Blair's only daughter. Her grandparents never stopped tearing her down.

"Allison, stop spouting nonsense. I never did such a thing!" Helena denied.

"You know damn well whether you did it or not. The Bennett family's issues are none of my concern, except for my grandfather. Don't expect any loyalty from me. I have none to give," Allison declared, trying to lead Alexander inside.

But Helena blocked their way and shouted, "Allison, please, spare Jasper. Give the Bennett family a chance!"

People started gathering, some even filming the scene. This was exactly what Helena wanted to ruin Allison's reputation just before her engagement to Alexander. If Allison's name got dragged through the mud, the Carter family might reject her.

Allison looked at Helena, not angry or upset, but amused. "Helena, what exactly is your relationship with the Bennett family? Oh, right, you're Preston's mistress. But your child's father is Jasper. Your relationships are so tangled; I'm a bit confused. So, who is your true love Preston or Jasper?"

Allison didn't want to say these things, but Helena's shamelessness knew no bounds, so there was no need to spare her dignity.

Helena's face turned red with rage. "You're talking nonsense!"

"You can easily tell if it's nonsense or the truth. You had Preston keep you abroad for over a decade, making him believe your son was his. But I happen to have a paternity test showing that he's not Preston's son, although they are related by blood. Isn't that interesting? That's when I thought of Jasper," Allison explained.

Helena quickly tried to stop Allison from continuing. "Impossible! You're slandering me! You have no proof!"

Allison took out her phone, pulled up the document, and showed it to everyone. "Take a look. This is a paternity test issued by the hospital. There are two copies. If you're interested, you can take a picture or verify it at the hospital. If I'm slandering her, I'm willing to bear the legal consequences!"

Allison then sent the paternity test to everyone, leaving them all in shock.

Helena's scandalous affairs quickly became the talk of the town, trending on social media.

Alexander watched silently, letting Allison handle it.noveldrama

"This woman is so shameless! She wrecked a family and now cries to the daughter. My God, it's disgusting!"

"Yeah, she's terrible. We should teach this bitch a lesson!"

The crowd turned on Helena, some even hitting her.

Allison took Alexander's hand and led him into the mall.

"Mr. Carter, the ninth floor has been cleared. Everyone is waiting," James informed them.

Alexander nodded, whispering to James, "Find out who incited this fool." James nodded, his expression serious as he walked away. An incident like that in front of Alexander couldn't just be ignored.

Allison, unfazed, pulled Alexander to the VIP room on the ninth floor. "You promised a surprise. Where is it?"
