The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 299 Father-like Mr. Carter

Allison didn't have to lift a finger; Shirley had already taken a beating.

"Cleo, it's your big day today. Don't get your hands dirty!"

Cleo finally stopped, and Shirley was about to lose it. She called the Walker family, and Declan showed up.

"Allison, are you okay? You better be fine, or Alexander will kill me!" Declan arrived and ignored Shirley. Instead, he fussed over Allison, which made Shirley even angrier.

Shirley asked, "Declan, whose side are you on? Why worry about her?"

"Shirley, it seems you haven't been slapped enough. Have you forgotten who Allison belongs to? We're on good terms with the Carter family, but it's me, not you! And this mall belongs to the Carter Group. Do you have to pick a fight here?" Declan was exasperated. If he hadn't gotten a call about Allison, he wouldn't have bothered coming.

Shirley said, "Declan, I'm the one who got hit!"

Declan nodded. "Then you must have pissed her off. Why else would Ms. Bennett hit you?"

Shirley grumbled, "You... you're siding with an outsider! Just wait, I'll go to Paxton for justice!"

Seeing Shirley storm off, Allison curiously looked at Declan. "She's going to your dad. Is that okay?"

Declan snorted. "She's wasting her time. My dad just took my mom on a trip. They won't be back for a while. Even if he were here, it wouldn't matter. He's fed up with Miles' family and doesn't answer their calls anymore."

Hearing this, Allison felt relieved. It was lunchtime, and Declan offered to treat her. Allison called Alexander.

Alexander arrived quickly after getting the call. While ordering, he fussed over Allison, making Cleo roll her eyes.
