Chapter 68 Disliking Living Under Someone Else's Roof Allison and Mia were having a blast together. When they hit the golf course, poor Sloane got stuck being the caddie, spending the whole afternoon chasing after balls.

Alexander told Allison to take a break because she hurt her hand during archery. Plus, the guys had sbusiness to talk about, so Allison took Mia to the lounge for scoffee. After two hours of golfing with Mason and Hunter, Alexander headed back to the lounge.

Sloane was wiped out, and as soon as she got back, Mason told her to go change. After they changed, they left, with Mason looking pretty ticked off.

He had just sealed a deal with the Carter Group, but Alexander threw in slast-minute demands that cost the Grey family an extra 3% profit on this multi-billion dollar project. "Mr. Carter, can I go horseback riding with Mia?" Allison asked Alexander, trying to be polite.

Alexander raised an eyebrow. "You know how to ride a horse?" Allison shook her head. "Not really. I rode a bit as a kid, but I've mostly forgotten." Alexander grinned, "Alright, I'll go change. Wait here!" Since Allison wanted to have sfun, Alexander was all in. Knowing she wasn't great at riding, he planned for them to share a horse. Hunter had two horses brought over. Mia wasn't a pro at riding either, so she needed Hunter's help.

The horses arrived, and Allison immediately fell for a chestnut horse with a shiny coat. It was the most handshorse she'd ever seen.

"This is Thunder, a birthday gift from my mom!" Mia said, hugging Thunder's head. "Thunder, I missed you so much!" Thunder didn't mind Mia at all and nuzzled her back, making Mia super happy. She asked, "Uncle Alexander, can I ride Thunder?" "No!" Alexander said firmly, making Mia pause.

Hunter was holding a black horse, similar to Thunder but a bit smaller.

"Allison, this is Sky, my horse, also a birthday gift from my mom!" Mia proudly introduced Sky to Allison. Sky was a mare, and Thunder was a stallion. They made quite the pair standing together.

"Allison, csay hi to Thunder!" Alexander called her over. She was a bit nervous but walked up. When she reached out to touch Thunder, he turned his head and nuzzled her hand. Allison's eyes lit up with joy. She hadn't expected Thunder to be so friendly. "Hello, Thunder, I'm Allison!" Allison was all smiles, and Alexander smiled too. He helped her onto the horse and then got on himself. They started a slow trot around the paddock.

Mia, once on her horse, took off with Hunter, not paying much attention to Allison.

Alexander wrapped his arms around Allison, feeling more relaxed and satisfied than ever.

He looked at her and said, "Don't worry about Sloane. I'm not giving her any attention." Allison nodded. She wasn't really worried about Sloane. Anyone who wanted to be her enemy had to be on her level, and Sloane clearly wasn't.

"Summer break is coming up. Got any plans?" Alexander asked.

Lately, Alexander had been working overtime, cutting into his sleep just to free up sdays to spend with Allison.

"I might go abroad for a bit, and I need to grab something from my old place in Avalon City." Allison said, thinking about it. "I want to buy an apartment at Oceanview Apartments and decorate it during the summer break. I plan to move in after the break!" "Moving out?" Alexander's face immediately darkened. "Why do you want to move out? Aren't you comfortable here?" Allison shook her head. "Mr. Carter, I need my own space. I can't just stay at your place forever; it's not right." The real reason was that Allison had too many secrets. Living at Alexander's place made it hard to keep them hidden. Alexander took a deep breath. "Then I'll transfer this house to you. If that makes you uncomfortable, you can payfor it." Allison still shook her head. "Mr. Carter, I don't like living under someone else's roof." Her words made Alexander go silent. Since she was so insistent, he had to respect her decision.

He nodded. "Fine, if you don't like it, I'll have James find you a new place. But Allison, I've never thought of you as a guest. You're the lady of the house." As he spoke, his face was close to hers, and his voice in her ear made her scalp tingle.

Alexander could smell her fragrance, which was really testing his self-control.

Not far away, Mia's laughter rang out. Alexander nudged the horse and followed.

When summer break started, Allison went back to Avalon City to pack her things and send them to Skycrest. She had already checked out a few apartments that James had found for her.

One was a two-story duplex, priced at $20 million, which left Allison stunned. Even a single-floor apartment at Oceanview Apartments cost more than $20 million.

James explained, "Ms. Bennett, this apartment was a leftover unit that wasn't selling. Since someone wanted to buy it, the developer was eager to sell, which is why it's so cheap." Allison handan Suspected Alexander had a hand in it, but she still buy this apartment. Who didn't like saving money? Plus, she was about to spend a lot, so saving where she could was smart. After finishing the paperwork, Allison went to Avalon City and left the renovation to James. She hadn't seen Alexander since the stables, knowing he was busy, so she didn't tell him about her trip. As soon as she got off the plane, she got a call from Hayden. "Allison, I heard you're back in Avalon City?" "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm just here to pack my things. Since I've decided to stay in Skycrest, I need to bring my stuff back." Hayden was relieved. "Jasper is in Avalon City. I'll have him help you." Allison was about to refuse, but Hayden had already hung up.

She hadn't kept track of Jasper's whereabouts, and she hadn't seen him during her visits to The Bennett Villa, which felt a bit odd.

Two hours later, Jasper showed up at her place in Avalon City.

Seeing him, Allison wasn't surprised. "Jasper, con in." She didn't hide anything. She was packing her things. The downstairs stuff was mostly household goods, while she planned to pack the study and bedroom upstairs later.

"I heard the gcompany you brought in has a new project. The er Bennett Group has neve been in this industry. Aren't you afraid of failing?" Jasper couldn't help but feel sresentment about Allison becoming the chairman of the Bennett Group.

Allison didn't beat around the bush.

m "Times are changing, Jasper. The Bennett Group started with traditional industries, but now all traditional industries are struggling. To survive, we have to adapt to market changes. In the intesector, the gaming industry is highly competitive but also the most profitable. As long as we stay ahead, the Bennett Group can beca leader in the field."
