The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 221 The So-called Treasure Secret Dwight eyed the steak with a mix of longing and frustration, but before he could make a move, Teddy and Cleo had already devoured the last two pieces, leaving him fuming.

"Con, it's just a few pieces of steak! No big deal!" Dwight wasn't buying it, so Allison shot a look at Kismet.

"Kismet, from now on, only give Dwight veggies. His cholesterol is through the roof, and his arteries are about to pop." Kismet, who rarely smiled, gave a slight nod. From that moment on, she made sure Dwight didn't get any meat, which drove him nuts.

"Allison, I need my meat! Life's no fun without it!" But Allison wasn't budging.

"Unless you want to end up needing a heart bypass, stick to veggies for at least two months!" Allison had noticed Dwight had packed on spounds since moving into Serenity Manor, and that was a red flag.

After dinner, Allison gave Elsa a massage and stherapy, tweaking her prescription. She also soaked Kismet's legs in medicinal water since the rainy weather had been making them ache.

Seeing Allison so busy, Kismet felt a pang of guilt.

"Allison, take a break and chat with me!" Allison nodded and sat down in front of Kismet.

"I heard from Xavier that someone from the Bishop family clooking for you again?" Allison had been away for a few days, and Vernon had indeed dropped by a few times, but he hadn't caught her. He didn't dare make a scene, just politely asked to see her.

Of course, Xavier wasn't about to let Vernon near Allison. After the last fiasco, he was worried Vernon might try something.

"Kismet, should I just hand over the Bishop family estate to them? They are Bishops, after all." "They're not real family, they're like five generations removed. They want to inherit Mrs. Bishop's estate? That's just crazy! Besides, everything in the Bishop family now was bought back with your own money. Even if they take it to court, I've got your back!" Kismet was right. Serenity Manor was bought with Allison's money, and the renovations were on her dtoo. Legally, it had nothing to do with the Bishop family.

"Don't worry, Kismet, I know what I'm doing." After settling Kismet and Elsa, Allison headed back to her courtyard to check sdata with Teddy. She needed her computer. Spotting Alexander in the yard, she ran over and hugged him from behind.

"What are you doing here?" "Waiting for you, of course!" Alexander turned around, pulled Allison into a hug, and kissed her. The kiss was sudden and intense.

Allison felt her breath catch as she melted into Alexander's arms. He kissed her deeply, almost consuming her. When they finally broke apart, Allison felt like she might suffocate if they hadn't.

Alexander looked at her flushed cheeks and red lips, unable to resist kissing her again until she was breathless. "You have no idea how much I missed you, Allison. Two days without a word, you're so heartless!" Even though he knew she was busy, Alexander couldn't shake the feeling. The urge to be with her was getting stronger.

"I missed you too, but when I'm swamped, I just can't think about anything else. Please cutsslack!" Alexander let out a cold snort. What else could he do but forgive her? After all, he had such an amazing fiancée. Hand in hand, Alexander and Allison strolled around the yard, chatting. Suddenly, Alexander remembered something Landon had mentioned.

"Sabrina helped Landon catch a traitor in their ranks. Landon is super grateful to you guys. It could've been a huge loss for the country!" Allison nodded, a bit taken aback by the news.

"Cleo mentioned that Butterfly Shadow hails from Eldoria. I think they might be linked to the Bishop family. The Bishop family's eagerness to get Valencia's estate is odd. From what I know, Vernon's wealth far surpasses Serenity Manor. With his vision, he shouldn't be interested in it!" Alexander nodded, sensing that Vernon had shidden agenda.

"I heard a rumor about an ancient family in Skycrest that has passed down a strange totem for centuries. It's said this totem is connected to a treasure. Ever heard of this legend?" When Alexander finished, he saw Allison stop in her tracks, looking at him in shock.

He thinks Butterfly Shadow is after you because of this totem. And Vernon from the Bishop family might be here for the sreason!" Allison frowned. This was bad news.

"The Bishop family does have a totem, a secret passed down for centuries. The ancestors found an treasure, but it was just two gold mines. After hundreds of years of mining, the gold mines are now depleted and worthless." Alexander raised an eyebrow. He didn't know this, but he didn't expect Allison to know. "Did Valencia tell you this?"

Allison nodded. "Only the head of the Bishop family knew. When Valencia was in charge, there were no men in the Bishop family, so they had Hayden marry in. But Hayden didn't know about the Bishop family's affairs!" Alexander nodded. "Since it's not a treasure secret, there's no need to worry. I'll make it clear to Vernon about the estate. Whatever he wants, he won't get it!" Vernon didn't know this and becmore intrigued by the so-called Bishop family treasure.

"Mr. Bishop, they're keeping you from seeing Ms. Bennett because they want the treasure for themselves. I don't think Ms. Bennett is a good person. Should we just kidnap her?" Vernon's subordinate suggested kidnapping Allison to force her to hand over the totem. Vernon squinted but didn't agree.

"Do you think this is Eldoria? You can't just do whatever you want here. Allison has the Carter family behind her, r, therichest family in Novaria. Do I need to remind you who Alexander is? This has to be solved with brains, not brawn. Otherwise, we might end up with nothing!" The subordinate nodded. They had already suffered two setbacks here and could only use their wits.

"By the way, Mr. Bishop, Ms. Faith is here. She wants to see you!"
