The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing
Chapter 74 Just Love Spoiling Her

Allison really didn't want to kill the vibe, but given the situation, she had no choice but to go along with it. Still, she hesitated a bit, "Mr. Carter, I'm only eighteen. Isn't it a bit too soon to make such an announcement? It's a lot for me to handle." Her words made Alexander's face darken instantly. "You don't want to? Do you think I'm too old for you?"

How did he get that from what she said? Allison felt like the conversation had taken a wild turn. "That's not what I meant!"

Alexander pressed on, "Then what do you mean, Allison? You need to take responsibility for me. I gave you my first kiss. How can you just leave me hanging?"

Allison looked at him, shocked. "Well, I gave you mine too!"

Alexander grinned triumphantly, holding her tightly until his phone buzzed. He glanced at it and then took Allison's hand, leading her to the deck.

A board member came over to greet them. "Mr. Carter, this is the first time you've brought a date. Who is this young lady?"

"My girlfriend!" Alexander's words made the board member give Allison a once-over, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

He probably thought a young girl like Allison was only with a tycoon like Alexander because of her looks. That seemed to be the general consensus among most people there.

Alexander led Allison to Liliana's side, grabbed a glass of champagne for himself, and handed Allison a glass of juice. "Today, I want to announce something!" With that, Alexander tightened his grip on Allison's hand. "Let me introduce you all

to Allison, the new chairwoman of the Bennett Group. The Carter Group will have many collaborations with the Bennett Group in the future. I hope all the board members and colleagues here won't underestimate her just because she's young!" As Alexander spoke, he raised his glass, and the crowd's reactions were explosive. Allison was the chairwoman of the Bennett Group? She skipped right over being a general manager and went straight to chairwoman? The board member who had just looked down on Allison was even more stunned. He had heard stories about her. It was said she had intimidated nine shareholders in one meeting, with one even ending up in jail. Indeed, the women admired by big shots were never simple.

Mia was utterly shocked by the news. Allison had become the chairwoman? "Mom, did I hear that right? Allison is the chairwoman of the Bennett Group?"

Liliana rolled her eyes at Mia, feeling a bit helpless. Now she was even more satisfied with Allison, and just thinking about such an outstanding girl being part of the Carter family in the future made Liliana quite proud. Declan and Landon exchanged glances as they watched from the side. Declan said, "I thought Alexander would announce that Allison is his girlfriend."

Landon shook his head, exclaiming, "Big shots are always hard to read, really hard to read!"

Alexander held Allison's hand and introduced her to all the shareholders of the Carter Group before taking her away.

"Where are we going now?" Allison asked.

Alexander smiled, "We're not celebrating here. We're switching to another boat!"

Alexander led Allison off the boat and onto another yacht, even more luxurious than the previous one. Liliana and Mia were already waiting there. Seeing Allison, Mia was overjoyed. "Allison, Allison, come on, let's go fishing!"

With that, she pulled Allison along, but Alexander blocked her, leaving Mia a bit dumbfounded. "Uncle Alexander?"

Alexander glanced at the evening gowns Allison and Mia were wearing. "Are you planning to go fishing in those outfits?"

After all, the night sea breeze was a bit chilly. Alexander turned around as James approached with shopping bags. "Mr. Carter, the clothes are ready!"

Allison nodded and went to change with Mia, while Declan and the others watched enviously.

Declan couldn't help but tease, "Mr. Carter, this doesn't look like dating. To an outsider, it might seem like you're raising a daughter!"

Alexander didn't mind at all; he just sat down on the deck with a glass of red wine. "If I like someone, why not spoil her? She deserves it. You single guys wouldn't understand!"

Hearing his words, Declan and Landon felt a bit dejected but could only shrug helplessly. Liliana also changed out of her evening gown and sat down next to Alexander. "I thought you would announce that Allison is your woman. I didn't expect you to be so timid!"

Hearing her teasing, Alexander didn't mind, and the smile in his eyes was hard to hide as he said, "She's still young. If I could, I'd hide her away so no one else could see how wonderful she is. But I can't be that selfish. If I love her, I should help her succeed. Besides, she's mine, and that's enough!"

Liliana smiled, "Alexander, Allison is a very ambitious girl. What if one day her achievements surpass yours?" After all, Allison was only eighteen, and anything was possible.

"That would be my honor!" Alexander clinked his wine glass with Liliana's, his pride evident.

It was Allison and Mia's first time fishing, especially deep-sea fishing. Someone had prepared the fishing rods, so all they had to do was cast their lines. As soon as Allison cast her line, she caught a fish and was overjoyed. Hunter was accompanying them, and soon Mia's fish bit the hook too. The three young people were having a blast, and Liliana sighed as she watched. "I'm really getting old. Even my daughter has a boyfriend now." "Don't let Victor hear you say that, or he'll throw Hunter into the sea!" As Alexander finished speaking, Liliana's phone rang, and it was coincidentally Victor's call.

Liliana went to the stern to take the call. Victor was very worried about his wife and daughter and called every hour.

Victor's voice came through. "But it's still daytime abroad. The conference has a ten-minute break every hour. Liliana, I really want to come home right now!" Liliana laughed at his words. "Alright, be good and work hard. Remember to bring a gift for our daughter. Let's take some time off for a vacation when you get back!" Victor's deep, magnetic laughter came through the phone, making Liliana's heart flutter. "Just the two of us, without Mia."

"You're so naughty!" Liliana hung up the phone, but before she could return to the deck, she heard a scream. "Mia, watch out!"

Then there was a splash, and Liliana felt her heart almost stop as she hurried to the front of the deck.

The scream was Allison's, but Liliana didn't see who had fallen into the water. When she got closer, she saw Alexander and Declan both jumping into the sea.

Seeing this, Liliana almost collapsed. "Mia, where's my Mia?"

James quickly supported the shaky Liliana. "Ms. Carter, don't worry. Ms. Wilson is fine. It was Mr. Shaw who fell into the sea. Ms. Bennett went in to save him, and Mr. Carter and Mr. Walker followed. They'll be alright!" Hunter fell into the sea? Liliana turned around and saw Mia sitting dazed on the ground. "Mia, my darling, are you okay?"

Liliana was terrified, unable to imagine what she would do if something happened to Mia.

As Mia snapped back to reality, she saw clearly Liliana, then she burst into tears. "Mom, what do I do? I caused trouble. My fishhook got caught on Hunter, and he was thrown into the sea!"
