The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 268 No One Waits Forever

Dwight flashed a mysterious grin and handed Allison a small booklet from his coat. "This is from Valencia. She said to give it to you once you uncover the Ellis family's secret and drive them out of the Bishop family. Allison, Valencia believes in you!"

Allison took the leather-wrapped booklet, recognizing her own drawings on it, a pattern Valencia had taught her.

"These are my drawings!" Allison's eyes filled with tears. Dwight stood up and patted her shoulder.

"Inside are Valencia's writings and my investigations over the years. Many parts are true. The Bishop family has a history of loyalty and sacrifice. Valencia donated several pieces to the nation. She was extraordinary, Allison!"

Allison opened the booklet and saw Valencia's handwriting. There were also some small, intricate drawings that almost needed a magnifying glass to see clearly, but Allison could recognize the locations.

Dwight said, "Valencia left something for you in the safe, besides that gemstone. There's a key. Once you open it, everything will become clear."

Allison nodded and carefully put the booklet away. "Dwight, if you liked Kismet so much, why didn't you marry her?"

Dwight glanced at Allison and smiled bitterly. "It doesn't matter how much you like someone. If you're not there during their toughest times, it means nothing. I joined a secretive research group and was gone for ten years. When I came back, she was already married with kids. Allison, no one waits forever."

Allison nodded. It was true, but she still felt sorry for the Ellis family facing prison. Xavier, Kismet's son, was nothing like her.

Dwight said, "Allison, I've never asked you for anything. I don't ask you to spare them, just don't let them die before Kismet. She couldn't bear it."
