The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 219 Sudden Visit

When Carl dropped that bombshell, Alexander's face went pale.

"I think Butterfly Shadow's got their sights set on Allison, and it's all tied to the Bishop family. There's this wild rumor about an old family in Novaria having a totem with a treasure map on it."

Alexander couldn't believe it. A treasure map? Seriously?

But then he remembered Vernon grabbing the Bishop family's stuff and demanding Serenity Manor and the things from Valencia's vault. He gave Carl a long, hard look.

Carl saw the gears turning in Alexander's head.

"I don't give a damn about any treasure; I just want Allison safe. I thought about taking her away, but it's actually safer for her to stay put. So, Alexander, you gotta protect her and keep anyone from Eldoria away from her!"

With that, Carl took off. He was just passing through, chasing down the head of Butterfly Shadow.

When James walked in, Alexander told him to get Declan to send over two female bodyguards.

"Mr. Carter, you want two people to watch over Ms. Bennett?"

Alexander nodded, "Allison can handle herself, but she's just one person. Have them keep an eye on the lab and report anything weird right away!"

James nodded. That night, Skycrest was anything but calm, and Butterfly Shadow's Anthony was having a rough time too.

After the attack, Anthony had his people scatter by sea, land, and air, but Carl was hot on their trail, driving the Butterfly Shadow agents nuts.
