The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 17 Mr. Carter's Kept Woman

As soon as Everett took off, Alexander strolled in and spotted the flowers on the table. He raised an eyebrow. "Someone been here?" Allison still agitated, said quickly, "Mr. Carter, could you get rid of these flowers?"

Without missing a beat, Alexander grabbed the bouquet and chucked it into the trash outside. He'd figure out who'd been there later.

Three days into Allison's hospital stay, Sophia's parents showed up, asking for forgiveness. Alexander was chilling in the living room when they arrived. They looked shocked to see him.

"Mr. Carter, didn't expect to see you here!" Sophia's dad, Nolan Brown, said, looking awkward.

Sophia's mom, Madeline Eve, looked all kinds of anxious. She wanted to see Allison, but with Alexander there, they didn't dare move.

Alexander asked, "Mr. Brown, you here to see Allison?"

Nolan nodded, and he and Madeline exchanged a look. Madeline spoke up, "Mr. Carter, we're here to apologize to Allison. Sophia was out of line and hurt her. We feel awful. If Allison forgives Sophia, we'll do whatever it takes!" Alexander gave them a cold smile. "How do you plan to shut Allison up? With money?"

Madeline decided to go for broke. "I know you're loaded, and Allison, being with you, doesn't need money, but..." Before she could finish, Alexander's face darkened.

What did she mean by "Allison being with him"? It sounded like she was implying Allison was his kept woman.

Alexander asked coldly, "Mrs. Brown, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Madeline, despite her disdain for their relationship, didn't show it.

She said, trying to butter him up, "Mr. Carter, you're obviously a big deal. No one in Skycrest is more powerful than you!"

Alexander sneered, "So, because I'm rich and powerful, helping Allison means I have ulterior motives, and she's my kept woman. Is that what you're saying?"

Madeline's face went pale, but she looked him in the eye. "Isn't it? If it weren't for that, why would you stand up for a young girl? If she hadn't latched onto you, how could she have done that to Sophia?"
