The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 223 Reconciliation

Vernon plopped down at the table just as Allison finished up her writing. She headed to the restroom to wash her hands, then came back to start making tea. Vernon gave her an approving nod.

"Valencia taught you well, Allison. Sorry for being a jerk earlier. Hope you didn't take it to heart."

Allison poured the tea and set it in front of Vernon with a respectful nod. "You're my elder. I was out of line too, so I should be the one saying sorry."

Vernon nodded and smiled as he took the tea.

"Well said. Let's enjoy this tea."

After taking a sip, Vernon started talking.

"I came to Serenity Manor with no bad intentions. I just want to settle an old matter. Years ago, my great-grandfather got a favor from the Bishop family and took a fortune to Eldoria. It's in our family history. We've been guarding their secret ever since."

Allison nodded and pulled a box from her bag, placing it in front of Vernon. "Valencia gave me this before she passed. Inside is a gem and a contract. It's the agreement your great-grandfather made with the Bishop family. The treasure vault in Eldoria is now yours."

Vernon was surprised by how easily Allison handed over such an important item.

"Allison, you..."

Allison poured more hot tea and set it in front of Vernon.

"If you don't mind, just call me Allison, and I'll call you Vernon."

Vernon smiled and took another sip of tea.

"Alright, Allison. You've got the spirit of the Bishop family."
