The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 43 Birthday Gift

No wonder Flynn didn't make the cut for this family shindig, but Gemma getting an invite? That said a lot about the behind-the-scenes drama.

Allison, with a stern look, said, "Jonah, get Gemma out of here. She's banned from the Bennett house. If she steps foot here again, her family won't see a dime from the Bennett Group!"

Jonah nodded and dragged Gemma out. She shot Preston a pitiful look. Preston frowned, about to speak up, but Allison cut him off. "If I were you, I'd keep quiet to avoid more trouble. Mr. Bennett, isn't it a bit much to defend your cousin's wife like this?"

Preston glared at Allison like he wanted to tear her apart, but Allison didn't care and just felt disgusted by him.

Blair had always done stupid things, and Preston never seemed to care. Maybe he had already had an affair.

"Allison, I know Grandpa gave you all the shares, and now you call the shots in the Bennett family, but you can't be so overbearing. After all, Gemma is your elder." Yasmin was still mocking Allison when the banquet hall door suddenly swung open, and someone walked in.

Leading the way was Jasper, the eldest son of the Bennett family, who had rushed back from abroad for Hayden's birthday. Seeing his son return, Blair quickly ran over.

"Jasper, you're finally back!" Blair seemed to find support in Jasper's return.

Jasper patted his mom's shoulder and then walked towards Hayden. "Happy birthday, Grandpa. I brought you a gift, some tea leaves I grew myself!"

Jasper placed a box in front of Hayden, who opened it, sniffed the leaves, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, Jasper. Very thoughtful!" Hayden said, instructing Jonah to take the box away. But the ring Yasmin had given him stayed on the table, which made Yasmin a bit unhappy.

Hayden didn't seem to care. Yasmin was so mad she gritted her teeth. She knew
