The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 29 The Brown Family Goes Bankrupt

Allison had never seen anyone as striking as Liliana, nor had she ever seen a mom defend her kid so fiercely. It was a feeling she hadn't experienced in her eighteen years.

A wave of bitterness hit her. Other moms would always believe in their kids, but what about hers?

Thinking about it, Allison couldn't help but smirk. She blinked away the heat in her eyes and quickly put on a calm face.

"Sophia was framed! You guys are the bad ones! It's all your fault what happened to my Sophia," Madeline ranted, still being unreasonable.

But Nolan had had enough and slapped Madeline. "Even now, you're still this stubborn. The police have proof of what Sophia did. You say she was framed, but where's your proof? How did I end up with a family like you? The Brown family is done, do you get it? All because of your precious daughter!"

With that, Nolan stormed off, leaving Madeline to fall to the ground from the slap. She eventually crawled away in disgrace under everyone's gaze. Hayden, feeling distressed, grabbed Allison's hand tightly, breathing heavily in anger.

Sensing Hayden's emotional change, Allison lowered her head and coaxed, "Grandpa, I'm fine, so please don't be angry, okay? Look, I'm perfectly fine."

"Even your shoulder is bruised! Allison, how could you be so foolish?" Mia was almost in tears again.

Liliana quickly went over to hug her shoulders while turning to Allison. "I'm Liliana, Mia's mom. Allison, thank you for saving my daughter! Mia said it's not safe for you to live alone. Why don't you come stay at my place?"

Yet Liliana's sincere invitation to Allison made Hayden feel a bit uncomfortable.

Over the years, she couldn't hold her head high in Skycrest's social circles because of Allison. She directly turned and left, deciding to consider Allison as good as dead. Seeing Hayden so angry and upset, Allison decided to take a leave of absence and took the old Mr. Hayden out for a meal. Only then did his spirits begin to lift.

I want everything settled." Allison lowered her head. Initially, she had agreed to accept the shares out of sheer impulsiveness, but now she felt it might not be right.
