The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 50 The Eccentric Mother

Several parents were left speechless by Alexander's words. Nola dismissed the students, leaving just the parents to continue the meeting. As Allison walked out of the classroom, she spotted Blair heading into Yasmin's classroom. Their eyes met.

Blair looked surprised at first, then remembered she was there for Yasmin's parent-teacher meeting. Her face turned a bit awkward. "Allison..." Allison didn't want to hear it and turned to leave. Mia came out just then and followed her. "Allison, wait up!"

They headed to the school playground, where it was quieter. Mia somehow got two ice creams and handed one to Allison. "Here, have a bite!" Allison took it and sat on the bleachers. "Did your uncle come because you called him?"

Mia shook her head. "Probably my mom. You know, my uncle's always been good to you!"

Mia was pretty naive, so it must've been Liliana who told Alexander. Still, Allison felt a bit embarrassed.

Mia leaned in and said, "Allison, I'm curious. My uncle usually doesn't care about anyone, but he seems to care a lot about you!"

Allison shrank back. There were things she couldn't tell Mia, like how Alexander said he liked her. But seeing him stand up for her today really touched her.

The parent-teacher meeting wrapped up, and the other parents were getting ready to leave, but Alexander and Liliana stayed put.

Soon, a phone rang.

A pot-bellied man answered, then got furious. "What do you mean the deal's canceled? They just signed the contract! They have to pay a penalty! Even if they pay, they want to back out? Find out what's going on!"

More phones rang, and none of the news was good. Liliana raised an eyebrow, realizing Alexander was standing up for Allison, though his methods were harsh.

"I haven't offended anyone. I was just at a parent-teacher meeting. Honey, you have to believe me, I really didn't... What? Our family is going bankrupt? How is that possible?"
