NovelEnglishChapter 333: After leaving the lounge, Allison and Kellan continued as if nothing had transpired.
Inside the banquet hall, couples twirled and swayed with spirited enthusiasm, but Allison felt a distinct lack of excitement.
She had cto the event as Kellans companion, and given the extravagant perks tied to that black card, she figured dancing was the least she could do.
Just as she stepped into the hall, she bumped into Floyd.
Having swapped his lab coat for a snazzy suit, Floyd greeted her with a warm smile.
Allison, there you are! I thought you might have slipped away without a trace.
Floyd knew about Allisons rejections and her tangled past, including the chase in Leswington.
Yet, none of that seemed to dampen his spirits.
I really want to extend my congratulations, he said sincerely.
You auctioned the centerpiece item.
That badge is simply stunning.
Then Floyd seemed to remember something and added, By the way, I got snews from MDH.
They are working on a drug for Alzheimers.
Allison nodded thoughtfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat is fantastic news.
In reality, as long as Kellans grandmother had moments of clarity to provide clues about her mother, it would be the biggest help for Allison.
Meanwhile, Gordon made his way through the throng.
Allison, you cannot play favorites! If you are on the hunt for related medications, I can lend a hand too.
Gordon blinked rapidly, his enthusiasm palpable.
And I heard you used the Cobweb card to pay earlier.
Next tyou find yourself in a pinch, just tap into my funds.
I am not particularly attached to money.
After saying this, he offered Allison a black card, casting a knowing glance at Kellan as if to flaunt his generosity.
This card is yours to use.
Think of it as a gift, Allison.
Kellan, however, responded with a casual air, So, its just another black card? Too bad.
I already gave one to Ms.
Clarke.
Gordon was taken aback.
So what if she already has one? Cant she juggle two cards at once? He felt a wave of frustration wash over him.
For the first time, he realized just how formidable Kellan was as a rival.
After all, the man was not just wealthy; he was also strikingly handsome.
Floyd let out an exaggerated sigh.
What Allison truly lacks isnt money, but something genuinely beneficial, like emergency medications and professional medical assistance.
Floyds words rang true.
He recognized that Allison had all the material things she needed, so if he wanted to be part of her life, he needed to be indispensable.
As soon as Floyd finished speaking, Gordon scoffed, I must say, I am more useful than anyone here.
His tone dripped with arrogance and self-assuredness.
After all, he worked at Cobweb and was an invaluable assistant to Allison.
If not for his secret, Gordon would have boasted openly about it.
Kellan shot him a sidelong glance.
Well, if we are talking about recklessness, Mr.
Herbert here certainly takes the cake.
I mean, he is still quite young.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing the tension simmer among the three, Allison intervened firmly, Have you all had your fill? Everyone fell silent.
More concerned about her best friend than the rivalry unfolding among the men, she turned to Ferdinand.
Have you seen Rebecca? Rebecca had promised to help Allison with auction purchases but had left with a smile halfway through. Ferdinand teased, She is probably off checking out those handsgigolos.
Just then, Rebecca strolled in.
Rebecca approached with a grin, playfully stepping on Ferdinands foot.
What are you rambling on about? I am a lady of good standing, Rebecca said, wrapping her arm around Allisons shoulder. Allison, I heard seager folks were willing to cover whatever you need, and I will take care of it.
These men do not get a say in this, Rebecca declared proudly.
After all, my dad is completely devoted to my mom, and no om illegitimate kids are vying for my inheritance. His money is mine, and my money is yours, Allison.
Allison chuckled and said, Well, what is mine is yours.
Ferdinand, wincing from the pain in his foot, kept his composure and smiled.
Since we are all here, let us move on.
The dance is about to kick off.
He was eager to see which of the three men would catch Allisons eye.
