The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Allison was lounging on her bed, phone in hand, laughing. "Kismet, Alexander's awesome. Don't you think so too?"

Kismet sighed. "I just worry about you. You're so young, and like your grandma, you can be easily swayed by men. There are so many guys out there. You could have anyone you want!" Allison laughed hard but winced as she accidentally pulled at her injury.

"Ms. Bennett, are you okay?" Kismet asked, concerned after hearing Allison's muffled groan.

"I'm fine. Just bumped my head. This is just too funny!" Allison replied, laughing again.

Kismet laughed too, genuinely happy for Allison. She did approve of Alexander's character.

Allison was surprised to get a call from Yasmin.

"Allison, I never thought you'd be the first among us to get engaged. Marrying into the Carter family, your future is set. I must admit, when it comes to seducing men, I can't hold a candle to you!" Yasmin said mockingly.

Allison, unfazed, replied, "Are you jealous? The prestigious family you struggle to climb into is mine for the taking! Yasmin, you often envy me instead of focusing on your own growth. Some things can only be achieved through your own efforts. But you, you rely on men, so you'll never win!"

After hanging up, Yasmin furiously threw her phone. She hated Allison, wishing she could destroy her.

But no matter how much she tried, Allison always seemed untouchable, driving Yasmin nearly mad.

Just as Yasmin was about to explode, she heard a piercing scream from downstairs.

She rushed down to find Helena in a rage.

"Why? Why did they freeze my account? Why?" Helena yelled.

Helena had just received a message that her account was frozen. She couldn't access any money, and it drove her mad.

"Yasmin, what's going on? I used the money yesterday, and now my account is frozen. Have I been scammed?" Helena showed the message to Yasmin, who was also shocked.

If the money was gone, it was either a scam or the account was really frozen.

Yasmin took Helena to the bank, where they confirmed the account was indeed frozen.

"Why did you freeze my account?" Helena demanded.

The bank staff, used to dealing with customers like her, replied, "If you have questions, you should ask the court or the prosecutor's office. There's nothing I can do here." Helena left the bank dejectedly and called Preston's lawyer.

The lawyer was calm. "Ms. Ember, the shares you sold were originally Mr. Bennett's assets. Now that he's under investigation for embezzlement and money laundering, those funds are obviously frozen!"

So, the $2 billion she had painstakingly gained was now useless. Helena was furious and stormed back to the Bennett Manor, only to find Jonah there.

"Ms. Ember, Mr. Bennett has made it clear: this is The Bennett Manor, and only Bennetts are allowed to live here. You need to move out," Jonah said.

Already angry, Helena took out her frustration on Jonah.

"You dare to bully me too? This is unacceptable!" Helena screamed, throwing her bag at Jonah. It hit him square on the head, and blood started trickling down his forehead. Yasmin gasped in shock.

Meanwhile, Cade was off at boarding school, completely unaware of the chaos at home.

Jonah wiped the blood from his head and said calmly, "If you don't leave, I'll call the police."

Hearing that, Helena immediately calmed down and went upstairs.

Yasmin was still in a daze. Helena had planned to take the money and flee abroad, but now she had nothing.

She followed Helena upstairs and saw her packing all her jewelry, including a lot of Blair's.

Yasmin's eyelid twitched, but she didn't stop her.

"Mom, where are you going?" Yasmin asked. She had no idea where to go after leaving the Bennett Manor.novelbin

"I'm going to Jasper's house. I have the keys. Cade will go there too. Yasmin, you should stay here and see how much of the family estate you and your brother can claim when your grandfather returns," Helena instructed. Even now, Helena was still scheming for the Bennett family's assets, which Yasmin found contemptible.

But without money, Yasmin couldn't study abroad, and her relationship with Oliver would be difficult to maintain. So, she reluctantly agreed with Helena.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Meanwhile, Allison had no time for the Bennett family's drama because Cleo had shown up.

"Allison, Dr. White has made progress. When can we start the third phase of testing?" Cleo asked.

Allison raised an eyebrow, glancing at the data on her computer. It looked promising. "We can begin the third phase of integration testing, but with my injury, I can't participate directly." Cleo quickly shook her head. "You don't need to. Just give instructions."

Allison nodded. "Arrange it for two days from now. Start with a partial integration and proceed if there are no issues."

Cleo nodded and then shared news about the Bennett family. "Helena's account has been frozen. She's been kicked out of the Bennett Manor and is staying at Jasper's villa in the suburbs." Allison sipped her water. "That villa was a gift from Grandpa for Jasper's coming of age. Grandpa prepared coming-of-age gifts for each of us. Yasmin and I got apartments."

Despite his favoritism towards boys, Hayden was still good to all his grandchildren.

"But your grandfather is hospitalized. I sent someone to check. Henry is his attending physician," Cleo said.

Allison looked at Cleo, smiling. "You seem hesitant. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Allison, if your training camp incident is exposed by your father, it could damage your reputation and even cause trouble for you. Carl thinks you should study abroad. Once you're overseas, it won't matter what people say," Cleo replied. Mentioning the training camp made Allison clench her fists. Though years had passed, that experience still felt like a struggle in hell.

"He won't expose it unless he wants to spend the rest of his life in prison!" Allison declared.
