The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 73 When Patience Runs Out

Allison knew Liliana didn't want her to feel weighed down. It had to be Alexander who spilled the beans about what went down earlier.

Honestly, over the years, those rumors couldn't hurt Allison anymore, but having someone who cared was a whole different ball game. Hearing Liliana's words, Allison felt a warm glow in her heart.

The party was about to kick off, and Liliana led Allison and Mia out of the lounge. On the deck, they bumped into a familiar face.

"Alexander, I know you don't have a date tonight, so I came to be your plus-one. There are some folks over there who are friends of my dad. Want me to introduce you?" Sloane had also boarded the yacht, and Alexander's face instantly darkened.

He shot Mason a cold glare, making Mason shiver and quickly say, "Sloane, cut the crap. Mr. Carter has a date!" Sloane snapped back, "What date? Allison's got a bad rep and has no right to stand next to Alexander. The only one who can is me! Alexander, I heard Allison had an abortion when she was thirteen..."

"Enough! Mason, get her out of here now, or the Carter Group will cut all ties with the Grey family!" Alexander was livid. Being reminded of Allison's past over and over had hit his breaking point.

If Mason really considered Alexander a friend, he wouldn't have let this happen. So, Alexander wasn't just mad at Sloane but at Mason too.

Mason tried to explain, "Alexander, I..."

Alexander cut him off, "We're not that close. Call me Mr. Carter from now on! James, get security to escort her out. If you mess up like this again, you're fired!"

James nodded, sweating bullets. Alexander wasn't one to lose his cool, but everyone seemed to be pushing his buttons tonight. Were they asking for trouble?

James walked up to Sloane and said, "Ms. Grey, please leave immediately!"

Sloane couldn't believe that even after she revealed Allison's sordid past, Alexander still wanted to kick her out.
