The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

"Don't let Alexander know about this, got it?" Allison said.

Mia's eyes sparkled, and she dashed out with a grin.

Soon enough, Felicity came in to help Allison get dressed. Allison's arm was in a sling to keep her shoulder from moving.

By the time Allison left the house, Alexander was already at the company. The Walker family's business was in trouble, and he had to step in.noveldrama

What he didn't expect was that Allison was heading to the detention center.

Liliana was with Allison, having set up a private room for their meeting.

When Preston saw Allison, he sneered. "Lucky you, huh? You're like a cockroach; nothing can kill you."

Allison was way past letting his words get to her.

She took a moment to look at Preston. His head was shaved, and he had lost a lot of weight. Clearly, prison life wasn't treating him well.

But even so, Preston's attitude was as nasty as ever.

"You called me here just to mock me?" Allison asked.

Preston leaned back, looking all smug. "Drop all the charges against me, or I'll make sure you can't stay in this country."

Allison smirked, giving Preston a cold look. "Still dreaming, huh? How exactly do you plan to make me leave? Go on, I'm curious."

Preston looked at Allison with a smug grin. "All I have to do is tell everyone I sold you to a foreign underage sex trafficking ring five years ago. Think the Carters would still like you? You'd be disgraced, and I'd take back everything from the Bishop family!" Allison's expression turned icy, and she glared at Preston with hatred. "Go ahead, say it. Better yet, post it online. Tell everyone how you sold your own daughter to human traffickers, and now you want the Bishop inheritance. Preston, remember your place. You're not a Bishop! The Bishop family has nothing to do with you!"

Allison's words made Preston furious.

He suddenly stood up and grabbed Allison by the throat. "Allison, I should have strangled you. Do you know why I hate you? Because Valencia liked you. She actually liked my daughter. How laughable! So what if she was the daughter of the Bishop family? She killed my mother!"

Seeing Allison being choked, the police burst into the room and pinned Preston to the table.

Preston attacking Allison in the detention center would only add to his charges.

Allison coughed, holding her throat, and looked at Preston with a cold smile. "Preston, the real murderer is you. Kieran was killed because you betrayed him. You found out he was going on a mission and tipped off the enemy. Preston, you're a jerk!"

"He deserved it. The Bennett family is mine. It was always mine. He thought I should respect him because he was my brother. Dream on! Why was he respected while I was treated like dirt? Why?" Preston roared.

Allison sneered. "Why? Because he was Valencia's son, and you're just the son of a mistress. My own grandmother was the shameless mistress! You never liked me because I was Valencia's favorite. You deliberately ruined Kieran's son, thinking you'd get the Bishop family inheritance. Dream on!"

Allison stood up, glaring at Preston like he was nothing more than a bug. Her gaze was just like Valencia's, driving Preston mad. He growled like a maniac, startling Liliana.

"Allison, you okay?" Liliana called from outside.

Allison turned to the door. "I'm fine, Liliana. Don't worry."

Then she looked back at Preston. "Weren't you going to expose my scandal? Go ahead. Even if my reputation is ruined, even if I lose the man I love, I'm still the heir to the Bishop family fortune, still a major shareholder in the Bennett Group. I'll still get into the best university and be seen as a prodigy. Do you remember what you said when you sold me? 'This girl is brilliant. You should pay more.""

These memories were a permanent scar in Allison's heart. Her own father had sold her and haggled over her price because she was so smart, adding ten thousand dollars to the deal. How ironic and tragic.

"I should have killed you instead of selling you, you bastard!" Preston continued to shout as the police dragged him away.

Liliana came in and saw Allison sitting at the table, feeling a mix of emotions. She had heard the entire conversation and was furious at Preston's insanity, but she didn't know how to comfort Allison.

A prison guard entered. "Ms. Bennett, thank you for your help. Preston has confessed

to his past crimes. Although it happened almost twenty years ago, the case was never closed. We can finally give some closure to that fallen hero."

Allison stood up and looked at the guard. "Thank you for not giving up on Kieran's case. He was an excellent officer and a hero. He didn't deserve to be betrayed and killed at such a young age."

The guard replied, "Don't worry, Ms. Bennett. We won't let Preston go unpunished. His actions were tantamount to treason. We'll ensure he faces the full extent of the law. As for him selling you, do you want to press charges?"

The guard and Liliana looked at Allison, who shook her head. "No, he's still my biological father. I'm not afraid of that incident being exposed, but there are people I need to protect. Please keep this matter confidential."

The guard nodded, giving Allison a sympathetic look before leaving.

In the car on the way back, Allison lowered her head, thinking about what had happened five years ago. When Yasmin told her the family had prepared a birthday party for her, Allison was happy.

At that time, she still lived in Serenity Manor. She wore a dress Valencia had made for her to attend the party, but instead, she was beaten by Preston, thrown into the trunk, and taken to the port, where she was handed over to those human traffickers. The way they looked at her, the moment they tore her dress, was still vivid in her mind.

"Allison, you okay?" Liliana noticed Allison's face was pale.

"Liliana, I feel a bit carsick. I need some fresh air," Allison replied.
