Chapter 51 Heartbreak

Blair didn't expect Allison to turn her down. She'd already let go of her old grudges and was ready to accept Allison, but Allison still didn't want to? Blair was fuming. "Allison, don't come crying to me later. Without the Bennett family's backing, you really think you can make it in the Bennett Group?" Blair was already mad that Allison had snagged 20% of the shares. Now, she thought Allison was being even more selfish.

"Fine, I see how it is. Damn it! Allison, you're so ungrateful!"

With that, Blair stormed off, leaving Allison standing there.

Even though it was scorching hot, Allison felt a chill run through her, like she'd been dunked in ice water.

She swayed a bit, but then someone came up from behind and hugged her. "Allison, you okay?"

When Alexander showed up, he saw Allison standing there, looking lost, so he came over and hugged her.

Allison looked up, saw Alexander, and then just broke down, hugging him and crying her heart out.

Mia heard the commotion and came over, her eyes red too.

Liliana pulled Mia aside and asked, "What's going on?"

Mia, feeling really bad for Allison, said, "I don't know. Yasmin's mom called Allison over, and then Allison started crying. She even hugged Uncle Alexander!"

That was all Mia could get out, but Liliana's feelings were all over the place as she looked at Allison.

It was clear Blair had said something to really upset Allison. Liliana loved her daughter very much, so she didn't know why was Blair so harsh on Allison.

Liliana sighed and walked over to stand next to Alexander. "Take Allison away for now, find a quiet place and get something to eat."
