The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 67 A Bet is a Bet Allison kept quiet while Alexander just gave Mason a nod and guided her towards the designated archery range. After checking out the bow and arrow, he started showing Allison how to shoot. Allison tested the bow's draw weight and glanced at Alexander. "Eighteen pounds? That feels a bit light!" Alexander turned to Hunter. "Get a twenty-pound one!" Allison waved her hand. "Make it twenty-two pounds!" Alexander raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised. For a girl, eighteen pounds was usually perfect, twenty pounds was already considered a heavy draw weight, and twenty-two pounds was typically reserved for men. "I can handle it," Allison said with a cheeky grin, and Alexander signaled Hunter to fetch it.

Nearby, Sloane smirked. "Ms. Bennett, don't push it. For beginners, pulling an eighteen-pound bow is impressive! Using the wrong bow can cause injuries!" As Sloane spoke, she drew her bow and shot an arrow, hitting a 9.8 ring.

Mia was amazed and started feeling a bit down since she could only hit an 8 ring at best.

Allison didn't say a word as she tested the 22-pound bow, drawing it a few times to adjust. Then she grabbed an arrow, put on her goggles, and with full focus, drew the bow and shot, hitting the bullseye. Seeing the result, Mia's eyes widened. "10 rings! Wow, Allison, you're incredible!" Hearing Mia's praise, Allison and Alexander smiled. Then Hunter started teaching Mia how to shoot while Alexander picked up a bow and began shooting too.

No one paid attention to Sloane, making her so mad she almost threw her bow.

After a moment, Sloane walked over to Alexander and Allison. Mason tried to stop her but got pushed aside. "Ms. Bennett, playing alone is no fun. How about a competition?" Allison looked at Sloane and smiled, "Sure, but if it's a competition, there should be a reward. What do you have in mind, Sloane?" Sloane grinned, "How about being my maid for a day if I win, Ms. Bennett?" That was pretty insulting, and she meant it to be.

Mason got anxious and tried to pull Sloane away. "Sloane, what are you doing?" Sloane shook him off. "Mason, chill out. I'm just having fun with Allison." Alexander didn't look happy, but Allison stayed calm as she faced Sloane. "Then you'll be my maid for a day if you lose." "Deal, a bet's a bet!" Allison nodded. "Alright, let's do this!" Sloane raised her chin arrogantly. "Allison, you go first, ten arrows to decide the winner!" Allison stretched her wrist and eyed the target. She drew the bow and shot in one smooth motion, finishing all ten arrows in five minutes. "Allison, you're so cool!" Mia was in awe. She struggled to shoot even one arrow, let alone ten.

He took the bow from Allison, removed her gloves, and seeing her red and sore hand, he felt pretty heartbroken and started massaging her hand.

Hunter had the staff bring the target over, and all the arrows hit the bullseye, ten arrows all scoring ten rings.

Seeing this, Mia was even more shocked. "Oh my god, Allison, teachhow to shoot! I want to be your student. You're amazing!" Sloane stared at the target in disbelief. How could all the arrows hit the bullseye? Even professional athletes couldn't do that.

But Allison did it, and now the pressure was on Sloane.

Sloane's hands were shaking as she drew the bow, and it took her a grueling twenty minutes to shoot all ten arrows. When the target was brought over, Mia quickly counted. "Eight 10 rings, two 9.8 rings. Sloane, you're really good too!" Sloane's face was grim. She didn't expect to lose so badly.

Seeing this, Mason quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alexander, didn't you say there were things to discuss? They were just playing around, it doesn't count. Let's go talk business!" Mason would never let Sloane be humiliated. Alexander was still massaging Allison's hand and just said, "A bet is a bet, Sloane said it herself. Have your sister change her clothes. From now on, she's Allison's maid!" Alexander's words were final. Sloane's eyes filled with tears, making it look like she was being bullied.

Seeing this, Mia felt a bit speechless. It was Sloane who insisted on the competition, and now she couldn't handle losing. It was really disappointing.

Alexander would never let anyone bully Allison, so he looked at Mason with a cold gaze.

He had business dealings with the Carter Group, and straining their relationship would be self-destructive.

But Sloane was the type to self-destruct. Seeing that playing the sympathy card didn't work, she tried to restore her dignity in another way. "I didn't expect Ms. Bennett to be so good at archery. But you kept it from us before the bet, that's not very fair, is it? So young and already so cunning, I really can't compare!" Even in defeat, Sloane still acted tough.

Allison rotated her wrist, still feeling spain, and coldly looked at Sloane. "Ms. Grey, do you know what it means to be a frog in a well? Are you angry because I didn't lose to you as you expected?" As she said, she walked to Mia and continued, "I never need to hide anything. Even if I told you, you wouldn't stop, so why bother? I just didn't expect you to be such a sore loser. Mia, let's go horseback riding!" With that, Allison pulled Mia to leave but was stopped by Alexander. "Sloane, from now on, you're Allison's servant. The Grey family values integrity, and I believe you won't go back on your word!"

Alexander's words were clear, and Mason quickly grabbed Sloane's hand and led her to the dressing room while saying, "Sloane a bet is a bet. You said it yourself. The Grey 上 family doesn't raise cowards. If you can't do it, don't cout withagain! You saw how well Alexander treats Allison. Don't anger him, or the family business will suffer, and I might even be kicked out of the Grey family." Sloane was forced to change clothes, and Allison went to the dressing room. Now, only Alexander and the Grey siblings were outside.

Alexander looked at Mason and said seriously, "Mason, we've been friends for years. I don't want to ruin gum relationship over these trivial matters. You know my attitude towards Sloane better than anyone. If you don't want to damage the relationship between our families, control your sister!"

With that, Alexander went to change clothes. They were going to the golf course later. Allison Allison originally wanted to go horseback riding, but Alexander insisted, so she changed into golf attire. Only Sloane was dressed as a caddie, which made Mia almost drop her month in shock. Sloane, such a proud person, was actually accepting humiliation. Thinking about what she did, Mia nodded her head with a smile. "Serves her right!" Mia's words made Allison laugh. "You seem so happy, you must have done well on the exam today!" At the mention of the exam, Mia's face fell immediately. "Allison, you brought up my sad topic!"
