The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 22 Alexander's Approach

After Allison took off, Yasmin shot a worried look at Preston. "Dad, if Grandpa really hands over the shares to Allison, what about Jasper?" And more importantly, what about her?

In Yasmin's social circle, rich families usually gave a tiny slice of shares when their daughters got married, usually not more than 5%. Now, Hayden was giving all his shares to Allison, and Yasmin was losing her mind with jealousy. Preston was just as puzzled by Hayden's move. He needed to talk this over with Jasper.

Preston said, "Don't stress about it. Just focus on your studies and make sure you get into a top university!"

Getting into a prestigious university would give her the edge to marry into a high-status family. Once Yasmin married into such a family, Preston could solidify his position in the company.

Actually, Allison had a point. Even though Preston was the CEO, his skills were limited. Jasper, the general manager, had only been in charge for less than two years. Both of them had shaky foundations, and Hayden still had a lot of sway in the company.

So, there was no way those shares could go to Allison. With that in mind, Preston headed upstairs to call Jasper.

Meanwhile, Allison, who had just left the Bennett Villa, was about to hail a cab when she noticed a familiar car parked at the gate.

As soon as she stepped out, the car started and pulled up in front of her.

"Get in!" The driver was Alexander, which caught Allison off guard.

Alexander had mentioned earlier that he would have someone pick her up, but Allison hadn't taken it seriously.

So now, Allison hesitated. Should she get in the car? If she did, she would owe Alexander a favor. If possible, Allison wanted to stay away from Alexander, especially since he had once put out an online bounty on her.

"Are you worried about owing me a favor, or afraid I'll pester you? Allison, do you really think I'm that despicable?" Alexander was a bit ticked off by Allison's attitude. He had always been straightforward and honorable, so why was he being treated with such disdain by Allison?

Allison took a deep breath and reluctantly opened the passenger door. However, this scene was witnessed by Yasmin from the second floor. Yasmin couldn't see the man's face clearly. She felt a strong sense of disdain for Allison. Yasmin muttered, "What wealthy family would even want a notorious woman like you? Allison, you'll always be my rival in defeat!"
