The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing
Chapter 131 Preparing to Reveal the Truth

This gave the Carter family a chance to finally sit down and have a real talk. As soon as Allison walked into Mia's room, Aiden's cane smacked Alexander's leg.

"Spill it, did you bring the Grey family here?" Aiden, always sharp, saw right through Alexander's plan.

The Greys wouldn't show up without a reason, and going after Allison meant they knew she was at the Carter Manor. They thought exposing Allison's true identity would trash her reputation, making Sloane Alexander's fiancée. Instead, they got kicked out and cut ties with the Carters.

Aiden's eyes blazed with anger, a total 180 from his earlier tenderness.

Griffin, catching on, kicked Alexander in frustration. "Alexander, how dare you plot against me!"

Jessa and Liliana exchanged glances and laughed. When it came to scheming, no Carters could outfox Alexander. Liliana had wondered why Alexander, who was so protective of Allison, let Griffin handle the Grey family. Now she got it-Griffin had been played.

Liliana raised an eyebrow, her gentle face full of teasing. "Alexander, you really care about Allison! This is the first time I've seen you scheme against Dad and Griffin. Looks like once you get married, you'll be another one in our family who's under the thumb!"

Aiden and Griffin didn't mind the teasing about being whipped; even Victor chuckled.

"Alright, since everything's sorted and Allison's not bothered, let's move on from the Grey family drama. But, Allison mentioned that her past health issues might affect her fertility. You need to be ready for that!" Victor, being a doctor, noted that Allison's past condition must have been serious to need Joe's intervention.

Alexander was unfazed, "It's too early to worry about that. Allison's still young. I won't let her feel pressured! Also, Dad, watch your words in the future!"

Aiden snorted and then asked, "Who should we talk to about the wedding? Even though the Bennett family doesn't care about Allison, we can't neglect her!"

Alexander nodded. "I've almost wrapped up the engagement plans for the end of the year. I'll go over the details with Jessa and Liliana later. We can't let Allison be wronged! In the Bennett family, only Hayden cares about Allison, and there's also the Ellis family."

The mention of the Ellis family surprised Jessa.

"Do you mean the Ellis family who has Kismet?" Jessa asked.

Seeing Alexander nod, Jessa got excited. "Kismet's cooking is amazing. When I was little, I had her dishes with my grandfather. If we could get her to cook..."

Alexander frowned. "I want to leave this to Hunter. By the way, Hunter has been accepted as Kismet's student, thanks to Allison's help!"

Aiden raised an eyebrow. "I heard the Carter Group is renovating a manor. Is that also Allison's?"

Alexander nodded, and Aiden stood up in shock, then patted Alexander's shoulder. "Alexander, impressive! That manor is very valuable." Alexander laughed, but Griffin turned serious.

"Alexander, you didn't start dating Allison because of this, did you?" Griffin asked.

"Of course not. All my assets will be Allison's. Griffin, what kind of person do you think I am?" Alexander said.

As Alexander wrapped up his words, Jessa burst into laughter. She was a timeless beauty; even though she was pushing fifty, she looked no older than thirty, her face smooth and wrinkle-free, a testament to her happy life. "Alexander, you're doing the right thing! Allison's got a bright future ahead. Without some cash, you might not be able to keep up with her! That manor alone is worth a fortune. What else can you offer? Your age?" Jessa's teasing made Alexander's face darken.

Aiden laughed, and Liliana enjoyed seeing Alexander squirm. It was a rare, happy moment.

Upstairs in Mia's room, Allison leaned back on the sofa, silent.

"Allison, don't be scared. Grandpa and everyone else are all looking out for you!" Mia said, concerned.

Allison looked at Mia and smiled slightly. "I'm not worried about that. I'm just thinking if I should reveal what happened back then."

Mia's eyes lit up as she sat beside Allison. "You mean exposing Yasmin's true nature?"

Seeing Mia's excitement, Allison felt a bit helpless. "Yes. But I'm worried it might affect your uncle!"

Mia widened her eyes and sighed. "You haven't even married my uncle yet, and you're already thinking about him."

Allison sighed, giving Mia a playful push, and soon they were wrestling on the sofa.

When Liliana came to call them for dinner, Mia straightened up.

"Allison, even though I'm a bit scared of my uncle, I know he's very capable. So, no need to worry about him. Just expose Yasmin's true nature!" Mia said through gritted teeth. Allison nodded. Since Mia was so eager, Allison decided to go public with it.

But before doing so, she called Cleo. "The Bennett Group's stock price is going to fluctuate soon. I need you to do me a favor."

"You're not planning to buy Bennett Group's stock, are you?" Cleo asked in surprise.

Allison laughed. "That's right! Buy all the stock being sold. Also, go to the Carter Group tomorrow to sign the contract. After signing, spread the news."

Cleo's eyes widened in shock. "Are you serious, Allison? What big move are you planning with such a stir?"

"Just solving a personal issue and bringing the mastermind to light," Allison said.

After talking with Cleo, Allison prepared to go downstairs, but then felt an arm wrap around her waist.

"You're planning to expose Yasmin?" Alexander asked, his voice low in her ear, sending a ticklish sensation through her.

"Some things need to be clarified, or people will keep bringing them up. It's too annoying!"

Alexander kissed her cheek. "Do what you think is best. This won't affect me at all! The Bennett family is currently in fierce internal strife. Helena has moved into the Bennett Manor, and your mother..."

"I heard the Ember family is going bankrupt. Was that your doing?" Allison asked.

Alexander held Allison's hand as they walked downstairs. "Are you mad?"

Allison shook her head. "No, I'm not. I actually knew about Helena's situation for a long time. When I was five, I overheard them teaching Helena how to seduce men at my grandmother's house. I just didn't expect that man to be Preston!"
