The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 80 You Must Listen toAllison kept her cool, not showing much reaction to Jasper's words.

Jasper felt a shiver run down his spine. He finally realized they might have underestimated Allison, and there was a reason Hayden picked her. At the airport, a stunning blonde was waiting in the lounge.

When she saw Allison, she rushed over. "Darling, I've been waiting forever!" Cleo's new outfit made her look like a completely different person. High heels, punk clothes, and enough accessories to fill a basket.

Allison covered her face in embarrassment, wondering if she could pretend not to know her.

Cleo wrapped an arm around Allison's shoulder and led her inside, making Allison feel like she was being kidnapped. "Allison, isn't this cool?" Cleo whispered, "Someone's watching us, act natural, Allison!" Allison wasn't too surprised about being watched. It wasn't the first time. But she couldn't stay calm when she saw two familiar faces on the plane. "Hi, handsome, can we be friends?" Cleo greeted playfully, making James's face show a hint of unease.

Alexander, on the other hand, calmly glanced at them, then stared at Allison. "Allison, chere!" Cleo even struck a seductive pose, but Alexander didn't give her a second look. Feeling unsatisfied, Cleo glared at James. "Am I not attractive?" James started sweating and was pushed aside by Cleo, who then sat behind Alexander and Allison.

"Miss, I don't think this is your seat," James kindly reminded her.

But Cleo just rolled her eyes. "Shut up!" James immediately fell silent. Jasper glanced at Allison and quietly took a seat on the other side of the aisle.

Allison looked at Alexander and asked, "Why are you here? Don't you have work?" She knew Alexander was always busy, so she thought he might be on a business trip.

"I gave myself a few days off to spend with you!" After working overtfor half a month, Alexander finally freed up a few days just for Allison.

When he found out Allison was going abroad, Alexander booked all the first-class seats to make sure they wouldn't be disturbed.

Allison asked, "So you worked overtjust to take these few days off?" Alexander held her hand, "You're more important than work! Allison, it's worth doing anything for you!" Allison was a bit shocked. "But I'm not worth you being so good to me..." Alexander covered her lips with his hand, leaned in, and whispered, "But I think it's worth it. Allison, you're my whole world." As the plane took off and the cabin quieted down, Alexander handed Allison a file folder. After looking through it, she looked at him in surprise.

"I had someone investigate. This trip abroad is dangerous, Allison, you must listen to me!" Alexander rarely spoke to her so seriously.

Allison knew that for Alexander to becthe richest man in Novaria, he must have a vast network of connections. She also knew that Alexander collaborated with many organizations, showing his far-sightedness and wisdom. Allison nodded. "I can listen to you, but I can't guarantee Jasper." She didn't know how much Jasper knew about Preston's situation. Judging by his previous attitude, it was probably just the tip of the iceberg. If he found out the truth, Allison had no idea what Jasper would do.

Eleven hours later, the plane landed. Alexander held Allison's hand as they disembarked and were immediately picked up by a car waiting at the airport.

James was responsible for settling Cleo and Jasper. Cleo sat in the back seat, continuously eyeing James with a slight smile.

Cleo suddenly asked, "James, how many years have you been with Mr. Carter?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! "Eight years!" James replied without missing a beat. He'd been with Alexander since he graduated college, making it exactly eight years now.

Cleo nodded, genuinely impressed. James was efficient and meticulous, clearly paying great attention to detail in his work, making him nearly perfect! Previously, Cleo had only interacted with him online, which had piqued her interest. "Ever thought about switching jobs? How about working for me? I can offer you a position as vice president with an annual salary of five million dollars!" Jasper looked at Cleo, puzzled. He knew this woman; she was the newly appointed general manager of the Bennett Group's intecompany. But even as the vice president of the Bennett Group, an annual salary of five million dollars seemed unlikely.

Jasper chimed in, "Cleo, you dare to poach Mr. Carter's people? Aren't you afraid of his retaliation?" Cleo glanced at Jasper and sneered, "Of course, I'm afraid. Who isn't afraid of Mr. Carter? But I have Allison, don't you understand?" James, sitting in the front passenger seat, was speechless.

They didn't head to a hotel but to an estate. Allison was quite surprised when she got out of the car. "Aren't we staying at a hotel?" Alexander wrapped his arm around Allison's shoulder, discreetly surveying the surroundings.

Several cars stopped at the estate's entrance and quickly left.

Alexander explained, "This is the Shaw family's property. Before I came, I talked to Hunter and got his permission to stay here." Allison hadn't expected the Shaw family to have such an estate abroad, which indicated their significant influence.

"So you also know someone is following us?" Allison noticed the direction Alexander had just looked.

Being abroad was different from being at home, and thinking about the attack on Alexander, Allison becmore cautious.

"Take your friends upstairs first. I have smatters to discuss with Jasper." Alexander patted Allison's shoulder, clearly not wanting her involved in certain matters.

Once in the room, Cleo's expression changed immediately. She took out her phone and showed a message to Allison: [Allison, your whereabouts have been leaked. Several powerful groups are heading here. You can't stay; you must leave immediately!]

Allison looked at the message on the phone, then calmly took out herm laptop and connected to the satellite using her own network card. Allison said calmly, "Elijah, sendwhat you've found!"

The avatar of the person Allison connected with was a masked man, and soon his voice dthrough. "Seven groups are closing in on your location, Gaia. You must leave immediately!" Allison didn't respond. After pinpointing the locations of these seven groups, she disconnected the call. Cleo watched as Allison identified each person using satellite facial recognition, revealing their backgrounds.

Cleo spoke up, "Charles, Rachel, they're from the Shadow Syndicate. They must be after you! I haven't seen this person before." Allison looked at the unfamiliar face, a very handsman, but behind him was the notorious mercenary group, the Crimson Order.

Allison asked, "Cleo, what do you think is the best way to stop them?" Cleo didn't respond and shook her head as this was beyond her capabilities.

After pondering for a moment, Allison's eyes widened. "Instead of confronting them head-on, it's better to cut off their resources!" With that, Allison began working while assigning one of the tasks to Cleo. Cleo was thrilled, and the two quickly got to work.

Meanwhile, in the study downstairs, Jasper and Alexander sat facingm each other. Compared to Alexander's powerful presence, Jasper seemed much less imposing. Alexander asked calmly, "What exactly are you planning by bringing Allison abroad?" "I don't understand what you're implying, Mr. Carter. I'm Allison's brother; how could I possibly do anything to her?" Just as Jasper finished his words, Alexander sneered.
