The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 258 There's Something off About the Grey Family

Allison kept her eyes glued to the surveillance footage, puzzled by the sight of Alexander almost dropping his phone. Who would dare mess with him like that?

"What's got you so worked up?" she asked.

Alexander huffed and tossed his phone to Allison. Her eyes widened at the message. "Carl's here too? That's awesome! James, let's get to the Regal Crest Hotel, pronto!" James nodded with a grin and floored it, completely ignoring Alexander, which only made him angrier.

Alexander said, "You're not even gonna ask what I think?"

"Ask what? We're asking Carl for help with the Grey family mess, so of course, we need to see him! Plus, I haven't seen him in forever. What's the big deal?" Allison replied. Alexander felt even more frustrated, while James, driving up front, was secretly amused. The all-powerful, cold-hearted Alexander was completely at Allison's mercy. Allison added, "Besides, I need to talk to Carl about setting up an independent lab. I want to merge my mentor's research with Dr. White's data. The lab requirements are high, and we can't buy a lot of the equipment we need. Carl's the only one who can help with that."

Alexander looked even more dejected, feeling like he could never replace Carl in Allison's heart, which made him even angrier at himself.

When they arrived at the Regal Crest Hotel, Alexander really didn't want to go up, but seeing it was a Shaw family hotel, he had an idea. He texted Hunter and got a reply five minutes later.

Carl was thrilled to see Allison, though he could do without Alexander. The mutual dislike between Carl and Alexander was palpable, with tension in the air as soon as they locked eyes.

"Allison, come here, I got you a gift!" Carl called out, waving her over. Allison let go of Alexander's hand and walked to Carl, beaming.

Allison said, "So many fruits! Did you fly them in?"
