The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 164 Causing Trouble

Yasmin kept calling Allison, but she never picked up. Frustrated, Yasmin decided to track down Mia instead. "Mia, can you take me to see Allison?" Yasmin asked.

Mia raised an eyebrow, clearly suspicious.

Yasmin wanting to see Allison? That couldn't be good. Mia might be straightforward, but she wasn't dumb.

"Why should I take you to see Allison? What's your deal with her? Who do you think you are?" Mia shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Yasmin swallowed her anger and put on a sad face. "Mia, you've got it all wrong. I just want to talk to Allison about the competition. She hasn't been at school, and as her sister, I'm worried. Even though she's engaged to your uncle, it's just a verbal thing. It's not right for her to stay at the Carter Manor now."

Mia knew Yasmin was up to no good. As soon as Yasmin started talking, whispers spread around them.

"Is it true Allison's engaged to Mia's uncle? Did she break up a family?"

"She must have. Isn't Allison a bit young to be so eager to get involved with an older guy? How shameless!"

"An old guy? Well, he's a rich old guy. Allison's really something!"

Allison's engagement had the whole town buzzing. Most people didn't know her, and those who did thought it was crazy for an 18-year-old high schooler to be engaged. Even the school was having a hard time dealing with it.
