The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 118 What to Do If You Want to Get Engaged?

Allison got what Xavier was hinting at; he wanted to know where she stood. If she didn't want to push things further, he'd sign the letter of understanding. But if she did, Preston wouldn't get off easy. "Xavier, let's just go through the legal process. If he did something wrong, he should face the consequences, right?" Allison said.

Xavier nodded, feeling better after hearing her. Not long after, Preston was taken to the hospital. Because of his injury, he couldn't be held in detention, but even in the hospital, he was under watch. Seeing this, Blair was heartbroken and went to take care of Preston herself, but he showed no gratitude at all.

"You've got some nerve showing up here. Look at your precious daughter. Not only has she drained our family dry, but now she wants to throw me in jail. She probably wishes I were dead!" Preston raged. Blair looked at him, feeling guilty. "Don't worry, honey. I'll talk to Allison about Serenity Manor. No matter what, that was left by Mom, and it should go to Jasper."

Hearing Blair say she wanted to give Serenity Manor to Jasper, Preston frowned. But given the situation, he thought it best to let Blair get Serenity Manor first and deal with the rest later.

Hayden had no clue about all this drama. To keep things simple, Allison had sent him to a wellness retreat in the countryside, a hot spring resort far from the city's chaos and the Bennett family's mess. When Alexander heard about Allison's rough day, he didn't say much but waited for her at home, thinking about everything that had happened.

"Liliana, I want to get engaged to Allison. What do you think?" Alexander's call caught Liliana off guard.

"Did Allison agree to be your fiancée?" Liliana asked.

Her question hit Alexander hard.

"Liliana..."

Liliana sighed, realizing it was just Alexander's wishful thinking.

"Alexander, how can you be so useless? You're already living together. Why don't you make a move and ask her to be yours? What are you waiting for?" Liliana said bluntly, making Alexander blush.
