The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 202 The Engagement Banquet Begins

A massive gemstone, intricately carved by a master craftsman at Henry's request, held immense value beyond just money.

"Allison, you're so young. Why rush into marriage? Sure, Alexander's a good guy, but remember, I've always got your back. If anyone messes with you, come to me, okay?" Henry's voice was firm but gentle.

Allison nodded, about to reply when a strong arm wrapped around her waist.

"Not gonna happen. Come on, let's go meet the professors," Alexander said, guiding her into the lounge.

As they opened the door, they were hit by the sound of a heated argument.

"Dwight, you jerk! We agreed Allison was my student, yet you knew about her engagement before I did!" Joe's face was red with anger.

Dwight, legs crossed, smirked. "Joe, it's not often I get one over on you. Let me enjoy this."

Joe looked like he was about to explode.

Allison quickly moved to calm him down. "Mr. Watson, please, don't get upset. I want you to officiate my wedding."

Joe's mood shifted instantly, his eyes lighting up. "That's a big deal. Leave it to me!"

With the wedding now a serious matter, Joe and Dwight stopped their bickering and got down to planning.

Allison could only watch, feeling a bit helpless.
