The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing
Chapter 88 Tempted

Alexander raised an eyebrow. Finally, some news, and they were opening the lab. He stroked his chin and said, "Put me on Dr. White's team. I want in!" James looked a bit stunned. "Mr. Carter, is that okay?"

Alexander didn't bother replying, just gave him a cold stare.

When Allison got back, she called Xavier to let him know he'd be handling the Serenity Manor renovations. Then she started packing for the island. Seeing Allison pack, Felicity was surprised. "Ms. Bennett, are you leaving?"

Allison nodded. "I got invited to a competition. I'll be back in about two weeks!"

A competition? Felicity sighed in relief. She thought Allison was leaving Alexander. As long as she wasn't running away, it was fine.

During dinner, Felicity secretly called Alexander to tell him about Allison's competition.

When Alexander heard about it, he quickly came over to the apartment. Seeing the suitcase by the door, he asked casually, "Going somewhere?"

Allison nodded and showed him the invitation on her phone. "A friend invited me to join a competition. His team needs people, so I'm going to help out and make some money. You know, I need cash right now!"

She smiled as she spoke. Alexander gave her a meaningful look. "Really need money?"

Allison nodded. She wasn't lying; after all, two billion dollars was all she had earned in five years. "The prize money for the competition is twenty million dollars, and I can get half!"

Alexander smiled, sat down across from her, and Felicity quickly brought over a plate of roasted chicken and vegetables. Allison then served Alexander some mashed potatoes and gravy. They looked like an old married couple, chatting about daily life while eating.

Alexander asked, "Where are you headed?"

"Aquilonia!"

Alexander continued, "After I finish my work in a few days, I'll come to see you!"

Allison smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

For a moment, Alexander doubted himself. Had he made a mistake?

Alexander personally drove Allison to the airport. Cleo was already waiting there. Seeing her, Alexander wasn't surprised.

"Take care of yourself. I'll come to see you in a few days!" Alexander hugged Allison and kissed her forehead before letting her go.

As Allison walked away, she kept looking back and waving at Alexander. Seeing this, James thought they looked more like a father sending his daughter abroad than a couple.

After Allison's figure disappeared, James walked over. "Mr. Carter, Dr. White's private jet is about to depart!"

Alexander nodded, turned, and followed James to the VIP lounge, where Benjamin was already waiting.

Seeing Benjamin, Alexander said, "Dr. White, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Benjamin smiled happily, "Alexander, it's been a while since you showed up. Getting you to take action isn't easy. Looks like we have to succeed this time!"

Alexander smiled back, shook hands with Benjamin, and then Benjamin handed him a work badge.

"This badge was made according to Genesis Creations' requirements. It doesn't have your real name on it, but Gaia is a smart girl. If she recognizes you and throws you into the sea, I can't save you!" Benjamin said with a hint of amusement. Alexander wasn't angry and went to the nearby restroom to change clothes. In just a few minutes, he transformed from a business elite into a young scholar. With a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he was completely reborn. Even if Allison saw him now, she wouldn't recognize Alexander immediately.

Upon arriving in Aquilonia, Allison and Cleo went to the hotel. The entire hotel had been booked for the esports competition, and Felix was already waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Allison, Felix quickly approached and tried to hug her. "Allison, finally, I get to see you!"

But Cleo kicked him away. "Felix, get lost!"

Felix, with his head full of green curls, looked devastated as he left Allison and Cleo speechless.

"I remember, half a year ago, you didn't look like this. Did you get dumped again?" Cleo, being an old friend, knew Felix well. Besides esports, his life revolved around women, and he frequently changed girlfriends. He was either heartbroken or on the verge of it.

Felix said, "You don't understand. This isn't heartbreak; it's an emotional setback!"

Hearing his words, Allison couldn't help but laugh, but after looking at Felix closely, her expression turned serious. "Did someone set you up? Are you poisoned?"

Felix's eyes lit up, and he excitedly tried to hug Allison again, but Cleo pulled him away. She looked at Felix worriedly, then turned to Allison. "Is he really poisoned?"

Allison nodded, glanced around, and signaled Cleo to go inside. Cleo dragged Felix by the collar into the presidential suite. Felix was terrified, sweating profusely, which even Cleo found abnormal.

Allison silently began examining Felix, checking his eyes and tongue, then went to her suitcase to get a medical kit and took out some silver needles.

Seeing the needles, Felix was startled. "Allison, what are you doing?"

"If you want to live, just shut up!" Allison said, and Felix quickly covered his mouth with his hand while watching as the long silver needles were inserted into his leg.

Three needles in total, in his arm, leg, and spine. After removing them, the needles had turned black.

"The poison is deep. Without detoxification, you have about three days to live!" Allison soaked the needles in alcohol, added some medicinal powder, and the needles returned to their original color. "Allison, you have to save me!" Felix was almost crying, scared to death.

Allison sat across from him and asked seriously. "Tell me, which woman have you been entangled with recently?"

Felix felt embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before confessing. "There is someone, but she's not really my girlfriend. I just can't stop wanting to see her."

Allison sneered. Indeed, men who couldn't control themselves might lose their lives. "You keep wanting to see her, and you can't refuse anything she asks, so you've given her all your money, right?" Felix lowered his head in shame.

Allison continued, "You've been cursed. It's a despicable method. There's a worm inside you, and it's already in your bone marrow. You've encountered a witch!"

Felix shivered just hearing this, but Allison said she would help him remove it. Felix, a grown man, was scared to death for the first time. "Allison, can we do it here? Shouldn't we go to a hospital?" Allison told Felix to take a bath and started preparing. Despite Cleo's worries, Allison remained calm. "No need, it'll be over in five minutes."

Just as Allison finished speaking, Felix's screams echoed from the bathroom.

Cleo was startled because she had just seen Allison walk into the bathroom with a scalpel. She immediately followed her.

"Allison, maybe we should go to a hospital..." Before Cleo could finish, she saw the bathtub water had turned completely red.

Allison swiftly cut open Felix's spine and used tweezers to pull out a long white thing.

Cleo was so scared she covered her mouth to keep from screaming.

Grabbing the worm, Allison said with a stern expression, "This woman has been with you for at least a year, Felix. You were too careless. Any later, and it would have been too late!"

The worm, 3.2 feet long, was white when Allison took it out, but turned black when thrown on the ground. Felix directly vomited at the sight, making the situation even more chaotic. In the end, they called an ambulance, but the diagnosis was that Felix had gastroenteritis, causing severe vomiting and diarrhea.
