The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 72 Uninvited Guests

Allison gave Oliver a once-over. He claimed to be Declan's cousin, and sure, he was good-looking, but he didn't hold a candle to Declan. Plus, their personalities were night and day. Declan was laid-back and funny, while Oliver had this arrogant vibe and a hint of something nasty in his eyes.

Allison couldn't wrap her head around why Yasmin was with him.

When Yasmin spotted Allison, she got all serious. "Allison? What are you doing here? This isn't your scene. Go home before you embarrass the Bennett family!"

Allison was still scratching her head. How was she embarrassing the Bennett family?

Oliver's eyes landed on Allison, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before he turned to Yasmin. "And who is this...?"

"She's my sister I told you about, the one who got kicked out of the Bennett family," Yasmin said, sneaking a glance at Alexander to see his reaction.

Yasmin never thought Allison would end up with a guy like Alexander. With Allison's poor reputation, there was no way the Carter family would accept her. So Yasmin didn't hold back on trashing Allison. She figured Alexander would drop Allison like a hot potato once he knew her past.

Allison didn't bat an eye at Yasmin's words; she was used to it by now.

Oliver had heard all about Allison from Yasmin-a girl who had been mixed up with bad guys and had an abortion at thirteen. His face twisted with disgust as he turned to Alexander. "Alexander, why are you with someone like her? Her reputation is awful. She's probably just after your money. Don't let her fool you!"

As soon as Oliver finished, Alexander's mood soured, and Allison, who had been holding his hand, let go. The good vibes were gone, thanks to these two.
