The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 298 Buying Gifts

As soon as Allison finished talking, the conference room lit up with excitement. Cleo was over the moon and immediately grabbed Allison, ready to hit the shops. "Alright, Allison, you're covering everything today! Food, drinks, the whole shebang!"

Allison grinned. "No worries, it's all on me! You're heading home for New Year's, right? Let's get you some gifts!"

With New Year's Eve just around the corner and Cleo heading home tonight, Allison had already picked out a few presents.

Their first stop was an antique store. Cleo was fascinated by all the colorful items inside.

Cleo asked, "I heard antiques are pretty pricey, Allison. Are you sure you want to give these as gifts?"

Allison replied, "Your grandpa's never really liked you, right? I picked out a vase for him; he should like it. And a set of gemstone jewelry for your mom! Oh, and this-an international chess set made of gemstones for your brother!"

Cleo didn't know much about these things, but they all looked very expensive.

Cleo asked, "Are you serious? Spending so much on gifts for those people?"

Allison responded, "You don't get it. I'm helping you make a statement. Your mom's never been accepted by the family, right? You need to be her support! And don't forget to send my regards to your mom!"

Cleo sighed and wandered around the antique store again, finally setting her eyes on an old headpiece and insisting on buying it.

Allison asked, "This was worn by brides in the past. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
