The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 261 The Truth Hurts

The room felt like it was closing in. Allison stayed quiet, making Cleo and Jake too scared to say anything. They just stood there, huddled in the corner.

Allison checked on Carl and was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist.

Carl said, "Allison, please... don't be mad at me."

Allison turned away from Carl, her face tense, making Cleo's eyes fill with tears.

Cleo said, "Allison, forgive Carl. He never hurt you!"

Allison closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm not that harsh, but I've always seen Carl as family. Cleo, you know I hate being lied to!"

Allison pushed open the door and walked out, only to be pulled into a tight hug.

"I'm here, don't be scared." Hearing Alexander's voice, Allison finally broke down and cried.

Alexander scooped her up and carried her to the car. "Allison, it's all in the past. Let's not dwell on it, okay?"

Allison looked up at Alexander, grabbing his collar. "You knew all along?"
