The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 71 Attending the Banquet

Alexander raised an eyebrow. Someone actually said he and Allison weren't a good match?

He said calmly, "Mr. Bennett, are you talking to me as the general manager of the Bennett Group or as Allison's family?" "I'm Allison's brother..." Jasper started.

But before he could finish, Alexander cut him off with a gesture. "Mr. Bennett, seems like you've forgotten that five years ago, it was you and your family who kicked her out! She might not hold it against you because she's kind, but I can't just stand by and watch you keep emotionally blackmailing her! Jasper, Allison is way more mature than you think; she knows exactly what she's doing!"

Jasper was left speechless. Alexander had no respect for people like him, who liked to guilt-trip a young girl.

Just as Allison came out of her room, she saw the two men sitting on the sofa, but the distance between them was like a chasm.

Sensing the weird vibe, she asked, "Did you two... have a fight?"

Alexander stood up, wrapped his arm around Allison's waist, and led her out. "Everything's loaded in the car. Check if we missed anything, and if not, let's go!" Allison nodded, went back to grab a backpack, and followed Alexander out. Before getting in the car, Jasper looked at her, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Seeing him like this, Allison said, "Jasper, I'll be waiting for you in Skycrest!"

With her words, Jasper finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Alexander felt uneasy because, according to his info, Jasper was not a simple character.

"Do you trust Jasper?" Alexander asked Allison.

Allison smiled at Alexander. "In terms of interests, he's trustworthy for now! Alexander, I don't care about the Bennett Group's shares, because I'll return those shares to grandpa one day! The Bennett Group was built with grandma's assets, and I just don't want it to be ruined by them!"

Allison had grown up with her grandmother. Hayden was busy with business and often away, and Allison was the least favored child in the family, so she and her grandmother depended on each other.

Hearing her words, Alexander held Allison's hand, his eyes full of heartbreak.
