The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing
Chapter 130 Meeting Gift

Sloane, feeling slapped and full of grievances, looked at Alexander with teary eyes.

Seeing this, Liliana let out an exasperated sigh. "Peyton, take your family and leave. We can't have you here anymore!"

Peyton, a bit miffed by Liliana's tone, replied, "Liliana, our families have been friends for ages. Is it really worth falling out over a young girl?"

Liliana laughed, clearly angry. "Peyton, don't think I don't know why you're here. You're trying to talk to my dad about Alexander and Sloane's marriage, right? Our family has never agreed to this. Do you really think my dad will just say yes because you asked?"

"Liliana, don't be so hard on my grandfather. I know you all like Ms. Bennett and not me! But I truly love Alexander. I've loved him since we were kids, for over ten years. I would never hurt him!" Sloane said, her voice trembling. Even now, she could say such things, showing just how shameless the Grey family was.

Sloane looked at Alexander with deep affection, her eyes red from crying, her face bare of makeup. Her sorrowful gaze made her look quite pitiful.

But Alexander didn't even glance at her. Instead, he stood up, holding Allison's hand. "Let's end this. I'm taking Allison away!"

Alexander wouldn't let Allison be wronged. He left the Grey family matters to Aiden and decided to leave with Allison. Just as he stood up, Griffin stopped him.

"Alexander, sit down!" Griffin shouted.

Alexander's face turned cold.

Seeing this, Allison tugged at his sleeve, and only then did Alexander sit back down.

Peyton looked at Griffin. As far as he knew, Griffin didn't like Allison. If Griffin could side with them, it might ease the tension between the families.

"Griffin, you've watched Sloane grow up. She cares about Alexander..." Peyton began.

"Peyton, you're old enough to understand mutual affection. Or do you think the Carter family has fallen so low that we need to marry for alliances? And Sloane has been constantly bothering Alexander. Is this the kind of behavior the Grey family condones?"

Griffin, though not fond of Allison, disliked Sloane even more. He hadn't interacted much with the Grey family, but he had seen Sloane approach Alexander several times. Her little schemes were obvious and foolish.

"Since we've accepted Allison, she will be a member of the Carter family from now on. Besides, she is the woman Alexander loves! Peyton, I think you came here today just to cause trouble. Since Alexander has already ended the collaboration with your family, there's no need for further contact between our families. Don't come looking for my dad; he doesn't have the final say here!" Griffin declared.

Allison was surprised by this side of Griffin-so assertive. His acceptance of her touched her deeply.

"Griffin, that's not what I mean, I..." Peyton tried to explain.

Griffin interrupted him, "See the guests out! If anyone from the Grey family comes again, don't let them in. I'll make it public that the Carter family has no ties with the Grey family. Peyton, don't use the Carter family name for your dealings!" Griffin had cut off all of Peyton's options, leaving him shaking with anger.

He turned to Aiden, hoping for some support, but Aiden just shrugged. "Don't look at me. I don't have any say in this now!"

Peyton was so furious he nearly passed out. In the end, Mason had to step in to clean up the mess.

"Griffin, Aiden, I'm sorry. This is our family's fault. Please don't take it to heart. I'll take my grandfather and Sloane away now!" Mason said, pulling Sloane along.

She resisted, yanking her arm back. "Don't pull me. Why should I leave? I'm the one who should stay!"

Hearing Sloane's words, Jessa shook her head. "Sloane is simply crazy. We used to overlook her behavior because she was young, but now she's completely out of control!" Compared to Sloane, Allison was so much better.

"Allison is the best. Allison, come here. I have something for you!" Aiden called out to her.

Allison felt a bit embarrassed, but Alexander nudged her. "Go on, my dad has all good stuff. Take as much as you can!"

Allison sighed. Was she that greedy?

Unable to refuse, Allison went over. Aiden handed her a box. When she opened it, her mouth dropped open in surprise.

"This gemstone must be very expensive. I can't accept it; it's too valuable!" Allison tried to decline, but Aiden wouldn't take it back.

"Allison, it's a gift from the heart. Please accept it. Jessa has one, and so does Liliana. This was prepared especially for you! These were left by my wife; she prepared them twenty years ago. Unfortunately, she didn't live to see Alexander get married and have children," Aiden explained.

Talking about his wife, Aiden looked sad.

Allison felt a heavy heart. After sitting down, she handed the box to Alexander.

"Keep it for me. I'm afraid I'll lose it!" Allison said, smiling brightly at Alexander.

Alexander smiled back. "Alright, I'll keep it for you. It's all your assets!"

Aiden was satisfied. Despite the Grey family causing a scene, the outcome turned out well.

Allison felt that some things needed to be clarified in front of the Carter, so she told the story from five years ago.

Everyone was shocked after hearing it.

"So, the person who got a thirteen-year-old pregnant was your brother Jasper, and the one hanging out with delinquents was your sister Yasmin? My God, the Bennett family must be crazy! Why blame it all on you? You were only thirteen!" Jessa was furious, her eyes red. Such a good girl like Allison being mistreated like this was simply too much.

"How come?" Mia felt puzzled, with a hint of pity.

Allison shook her head. "I don't know. I once suspected that I might be adopted, so I got tested. They are my biological parents; they just don't like me."

Mia was almost in tears, hugging Allison tightly.

"Allison, we're your family now. Don't worry, our family is great, and you'll never be bullied again! Come on, let's go upstairs. I'll show you my room. I have lots of good stuff, and I'll give it all to you!" Mia said, pulling Allison along.
