The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 53 Do you know the Bennett Group

Hayden knew all the dirt about what went down at school and found out Allison had killer grades. It was clear she was just holding back before, not wanting to show off.

Such a sweet and sensible girl, yet her parents couldn't see it. Hayden couldn't wrap his head around why Preston and Blair were so biased!

It wasn't until Hayden got back to his room upstairs that Preston started to blow his top.

As soon as Hayden was out of sight, Preston turned to Blair, fuming. "Look at you! How could you give birth to such a disgraceful daughter? She took her brother's shares and now wants to attend the shareholders' meeting. Is she planning to replace me as vice chairman soon?"

Blair felt a headache coming on, but Preston's words were way out of line. "Isn't she your daughter too? She's been headstrong since she was a kid and has been away for years. How could she just follow our plans?"

Preston's eyes flashed with disgust. "Don't worry about the company's affairs. Your job is to manage Yasmin! The Walker family has been talking with the Bennett Group recently. If the two families team up, my position in the Bennett Group will be rock solid! Yasmin is a sensible kid. If she can marry into the Walker family, that would be perfect!"

In fact, Preston didn't care about Yasmin. A guy who only cared about profit had no room for family affection. But when it came to the Walker family, Blair had to take it seriously. This was her daughter's future and couldn't be taken lightly. After evening study, just as Allison stepped out of the school gate, someone called her.

Late at night, Preston actually showed up at the school, which caught Allison off guard.

"Mr. Bennett, do you need something from me?" Allison asked, surprised.

Allison's distant tone made Preston furious. He didn't like Allison because her gaze seemed to see right through him, making him feel like a clown.

Preston tried to keep his cool and said, "You don't need to attend the shareholders' meeting on Friday. From now on, just take the dividends from the Bennett Group and stay out of the company's affairs!"

Allison raised an eyebrow. His desperate attempt to keep her out of the Bennett Group made him look guilty.

Allison said, "Mr. Bennett, you have no right to tell me what to do. Whether I attend the shareholders' meeting or not is my decision! You can't
