The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 226 The Faith Family Emerges Sabrina thought Landon was acting kinda strange today. Why did she have to tell him what she wanted to eat and have him buy it for her? "Landon, I have money. I can get whatever I want myself. You're swamped with work, you don't need to worry about me!" Landon felt a sharp pain in his chest, like a knife had been driven into his heart. This ungrateful Sabrina, he thought, all the effort to take care of her these past few days was for nothing.

"You've only been in Skycrest for a short time. There are lots of great places to eat that you don't know about yet. When I get stoff, I'll take you out, okay?" Sabrina thought for a moment and then nodded. Only then did Landon breathe a sigh of relief.

After Sabrina got into the car and drove away, Landon watched the Maybach disappear into the distance, feeling a mix of emotions.

At spoint, Shawn had appeared behind Landon, arms crossed, watching him stare into the distance.

"Sabrina's gone, Landon. What's going on?" Landon shot Shawn a glare and started walking back to the office, with Shawn trailing behind.

"I heard her last nis Lewis. Is she from the Lewis family I've heard about? Don't say I didn't warn you, the Lewis family isn't easy to deal with. Looks like your love life is headed for trouble." Landon turned to look at Shawn, barely restraining himself from punching him. Shawn, unfazed, leaned in closer, almost asking for it.

"Want to hit me? Too bad you don't have the guts! Do you know what kind of reputation you have in the SWAT team? Everyone thinks you're tough as nails, but who would have thought you'd fall for such a sweet, innocent girl? She's going to be hard to win over!" Landon couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Shawn by the collar and dragged him to the training room. They started sparring, drawing a crowd.

Allison took Sabrina back to Serenity Manor. After chatting with Sabrina and noticing she had no special feelings for Landon, Allison felt relieved.

"Ms. Bennett, what should we do about Vernon?" Xavier cto ask Allison's opinion about Vernon. Allison decided it was tto have a serious talk with Vernon.

She had Xavier open the courtyard closest to the street for their conversation.

Once inside the courtyard, Vernon walked around, hands behind his back, taking in the surroundings.

"This courtyard is quite elegant. Whoever arranged it put a lot of thought into it." Allison stood on the steps, smiling lightly. "This was one of the courtyards the Bishop family set aside for extended family. There are four, one in each direction. It's a Bishop family tradition to never neglect extended family. As long as you're part of the Bishop family, you must understand the importance of unity." Vernon nodded, satisfied with the courtyard. He had Barry arrange for their belongings to be moved in, along with bodyguards.

"Vernon, what kind of presence does the Faith family have in Eldoria?" At the mention of the Faith family, Vernon looked disdainful.

"The Faith family isn't a traditional noble family. They only rose to prominence in Eldoria in the past few decades. If it weren't for producing a president, they wouldn't have any real power." Allison nodded, her interest piqued by Butterfly Shadow. She continued, "What do you know about Butterfly Shadow?" "The Faith family doesn't have much of a foundation. To becpresident, they did a lot of shady stuff, and Butterfly Shadow was created to do their dirty work. The leader, Anthony, is an illegitimate son of the Faith family, and Adalyn is an adopted daughter. These two, who were the least favored in the Faith family, have slowly gained status." Vernon handed Allison a dossier on the Faith family. After reading it, Allison's expression grew serious.

"They even participated in foreign coups and massacred civilians?" Vernon nodded and poured himself stea.

"Anthony is a psychopath. Abused by the Faith family from a young age, he has endless ways to torture people. Butterfly Shadow will do anything for money, which is why they've grown so quickly." Vernon also gave Allison information on Anthony and Adalyn. "Adalyn contactedbefore. She's in Skycrest, Allison. You need to be careful. She's probably here for you." Allison raised an eyebrow, realizing Vernon knew about her other identity. They exchanged a meaningful look and smiled.

"Allison, you're truly impressive. I feel inadequate in comparison. Since we're family, I'll have Barry keep an eye on Adalyn. If she tries to harm you, I won't let her get away with it." Allison smiled and poured tea for both of them. They talked about many things, including the Bishop family and the construction of a biotech factory. Allison had already started sketching plans and showed the drafts to Vernon.

Vernon, with his background in construction, couldn't hide his admiration for the designs.

"You're amazing. Is there anything you can't do? How about coming back to Eldoria with me? I'll hand over my business to you." Allison shook her head. "No thanks. I heard you have seven sons. If I went back to take over, they'd probably kill me!"

Vernon laughed heartily, not minding Allison's teasing. After finishing their er discussion, they went to the private dining room's backyard for a meal, a tradition when visiting. Barry initially thought working at the restaurant was beneath him, but after tasting the food, he never wanted to leave. Vernon felt the sway.

"Kismet, why don't you train a few more students and send a couple to Eldoria with me? We could open a big restaurant. It would definitely make a lot of money!" With food this good, it would be profitable.

"Then sendtwo of your sons, and I'll teach them a few dishes!" Vernon was taken aback. His sons? "Alright, that's a great idea. Barry, go fetch my two wayward sons. Learning to cook from Kismet would be an honor for them!" Kismet might not have been serious about taking on students, but she didn't take it back. Hunter, however, felt a bit jealous.

"Kismet, that's not fair. They get to be students just like that, but I had to go through so much effort to get in!"

"Are you questioning my decision? Hunter, have you forgotten our rules?" Hunter didn't dare argue and obediently sat down to eat. Allison smiled at him. Nowadays, Hunter was the head chef at the private dining room, creating many signature dishes. He truly had a talent for cooking. "If Vernon wants to open a restaurant, he can work with Hunter. He's an expert in running hotels and restaurants. With his help, you'll definitely make money." Opening a restaurant in Eldoria wouldn't be bad for the Shaw family, so everyone was pleased with Alexander's suggestion.

That evening, back in their courtyard, Allison pulled Alexander aside to talk on the porch.

"Vernon said Adalyn is in Skycrest. Can you find out where she's staying?"
