The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 4 Returning to The Bennett Villa

Alexander smirked, "Since when did gossip count as evidence?"

Allison was just a kid in middle school, and with her icy personality, the idea of her shacking up with a troublemaker and getting an abortion was just ridiculous. But some people actually bought into that crap. James couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Her sister, Yasmin, spilled the beans."

"Yasmin?" Alexander was even more puzzled. He barely remembered anyone's name.

"Mr. Carter, are you planning to get involved in Ms. Bennett's business?" James asked.

Alexander thought for a moment, then said, "That girl seems interesting. Bring her here; she might be useful."

James's jaw dropped. Was this the same Alexander who usually avoided drama like the plague?

"But, Mr. Carter, she's only eighteen, still in high school. Are you thinking of bringing her into the Carter Group?" James was stunned. This was nuts. "Even if I am, got a problem with that?" Alexander shot back.

James quickly shook his head. No way he was going to argue. "Of course not, Mr. Carter. You're the boss. I'll go find Ms. Bennett right away!"

After Blair's plea to Elliot fell flat, she wanted to meet Mr. Morgan. But she couldn't find him, and Allison was missing too, which made Blair furious. Just as she was about to storm off, her phone rang. It was Hayden.

"I heard Allison's in trouble in Avalon City. I don't care how you do it, but you better bring her back safe. If you can't, don't bother coming back to the Bennett Villa!" Hayden Bennett, Allison's grandfather scolded.

his voice was firm, making Blair heart race. "Dad, it's not what you think. Allison's still defiant. Five years ago, it was her fault too..." she tried to explain.

let out a sigh of relief as he saw the impact of mentioning Hayden. "Grandpa asked me to bring you back personally. I've already told Mom to pack up; we'll leave right away!"
