The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 150 Complete Disappointment

Mia's commanding presence made Yasmin feel small.

"I didn't say anything, Mia. Just because you've got family backing you up doesn't mean you can push people around at school!" Yasmin's eyes were getting red, making her look like the victim.

"Mia, you're going too far! Why do you always have to start with the insults?" another girl chimed in, clearly upset.

Mia had never liked Yasmin's fake vulnerability, and knowing how terrible the Bennett family could be only made her disdain grow.

"Insults? That's nothing. Allison never says a bad word about Yasmin, but here she is, spreading rumors about Allison. If you're so smart, why don't you try beating Allison in academics? Or better yet, stop doing shady stuff!" Mia shot a scornful look at the other girls before striding away, head held high.

Allison was doing better now and would be back in class soon. Plus, she was about to get engaged to Alexander. Once that news was out, Allison would be Mia's aunt by marriage. The shift in family dynamics made Mia even more eager to show off their connection.

While recovering, Allison had been questioned by the police about the chemical warehouse explosion. She told them how she was kidnapped by Jasper and only found out about the explosion after he had taken her away.

"Ms. Bennett, the explosion has claimed fourteen lives so far, but we haven't found Wayne, the person you mentioned. However, your information matches the identities of those involved," the officer said, treating Allison with a lot of respect. After the police left, Alexander walked in. "Tired? Want to lie down for a bit?"

Allison was recovering quickly, but her overall health had taken a hit due to her severe injuries.

Allison shook her head and took a few steps instead. "What will happen to Jasper?"

Alexander's brow furrowed at her question. He didn't want Allison to get mixed up in the Bennett family's issues.
