The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 135 The Game with Hayden

Alexander stared Hayden down and called him out on his lie.

"Hayden, it was Jasper who got that thirteen-year-old girl pregnant, right? He was in college then. You were worried about his future, so you whisked him away abroad. When Allison got slandered, you did nothing because you knew why they were after her it was all about the Bishop family's money!"

"You let Allison take the fall for Jasper. Preston took over the Bennett Group because of this mess. You all threw Allison under the bus, and now you're trying to make it right only because they turned out to be screw-ups while Allison proved to be exceptional!" Alexander finished, standing up and straightening his suit.

He looked down at Hayden, his face serious and determined. "Allison may be young, but she knows everything. Why should she protect the Bennett family's reputation? Don't you get it, Hayden? I'm actually grateful you suggested I marry into the Bishop family. It shows you still have some conscience left for them."

With that, Alexander turned to leave, leaving Hayden slumped in his chair.

Hayden's attempt to assert dominance had backfired miserably, leaving him deflated.

Feeling a surge of defiance, Hayden shot a few cold glares at Alexander during dinner. Allison noticed, her curiosity piqued. Her gaze wandered over to Alexander as she wondered what had happened to ruffle Hayden so much.

Alexander, unfazed, smiled at Allison and served her some soup. "You ate a lot at lunch, so have some soup tonight. Don't overeat."

Allison nodded. She usually didn't have a big appetite, and at lunch with the Carter family, she felt obliged to eat more, which had indeed left her feeling stuffed.

"Allison, are you living with Alexander?" Hayden suddenly asked.

"Yes. Alexander got injured because of me, so I took care of him," Allison replied.

Hayden threw down his utensils, displeased. "I've been sick too. Why didn't you come to keep me company?"

Allison smiled. "Serenity Manor will be mostly renovated in two months. I've had them prioritize the main house, so it will be ready first. It has underfloor heating, so we won't have to worry about the cold!"
