The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 50 The Eccentric Mother Several parents were left speechless by Alexander's words. Nola dismissed the students, leaving just the parents to continue the meeting. As Allison walked out of the classroom, she spotted Blair heading into Yasmin's classroom. Their eyes met.

Blair looked surprised at first, then remembered she was there for Yasmin's parent-teacher meeting. Her face turned a bit awkward. "Allison..." Allison didn't want to hear it and turned to leave. Mia cout just then and followed her. "Allison, wait up!" They headed to the school playground, where it was quieter. Mia somehow got two ice creams and handed one to Allison. "Here, have a bite!" Allison took it and sat on the bleachers. "Did your uncle cbecause you called him?" Mia shook her head. "Probably my mom. You know, my uncle's always been good to you!" Mia was pretty naive, so it must've been Liliana who told Alexander. Still, Allison felt a bit embarrassed.

Mia leaned in and said, "Allison, I'm curious. My uncle usually doesn't care about anyone, but he seems to care a lot about you!" Allison shrank back. There were things she couldn't tell Mia, like how Alexander said he liked her. But seeing him stand up for her today really touched her.

The parent-teacher meeting wrapped up, and the other parents were getting ready to leave, but Alexander and Liliana stayed put.

Soon, a phone rang.

A pot-bellied man answered, then got furious. "What do you mean the deal's canceled? They just signed the contract! They have to pay a penalty! Even if they pay, they want to back out? Find out what's going on!" More phones rang, and none of the news was good. Liliana raised an eyebrow, realizing Alexander was standing up for Allison, though his methods were harsh.

"I haven't offended anyone. I was just at a parent-teacher meeting. Honey, you have to believe me, I really didn't... What? Our family is going bankrupt? How is that possible?" "Something happened at home? Someone reported the company for tax evasion? How is that possible?" One bad news after another came, and Alexander finally smiled in satisfaction.

He spoke up, "Did you all get sbad news?" At that moment, Alexander's voice sounded like the devil's, and these people were awaiting judgment.

"Who are you?" a female parent asked, her voice trembling.

"You're not qualified to know my identity. Just understand that I'm someone you can't afford to offend! And Allison is not someone you can slander. I'm a petty person; anyone who targets my family, I will make them lose everything. So, take this as a lesson. Money isn't everything, but without it, you're nothing!" With that, Alexander stood up, and Liliana followed. They left the classroom together. There were already cries in the room, but that was how things worked. The more you tried to trample on someone, the more likely they were to give you a fatal blow. Liliana teased, "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for Allison by protecting her like this?" Alexander shook his head and looked at her seriously. "Sometimes, only by standing at the top can no one dare to bully you. I think that's what Allison wants to do now!" When Alexander got to the playground, he saw someone unexpected: Blair, Allison's biological mom.

Blair wasn't sure why she came. When she found out Allison was at the playground, she walked over.

Allison frowned. She really didn't want to talk to Blair.

"I know you don't want to see me, but Allison, I'm still your mother!" Blair's tone was fierce, and Allison stood up right away.

Mia quickly stepped in front of Allison. "What do you want now? My uncle's here, so don't even think about bullying Allison!" Blair's face grew more and more sour at Mia's words.

Allison pulled Mia aside and gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Then she turned to Blair. "Mrs. Bennett, let's talk over there." Allison led Blair to a small grove next to the playground. Seeing Blair's complicated expression, Allison couldn't guess what she wanted. "Mrs. Bennett, what do you want from me?" "Allison, I'm your mother. Do you have to talk tolike this?" Allison didn't speak, but her eyes showed a hint of impatience. Blair was very angry, but remembering her purpose, she held back.

"I cto ask if you could help your sister. You and Yasmin are sisters and should help each other. Yasmin didn't do well on her exams this time, and she's very anxious. I wanted to ask if you could help her improve her grades. If you have any study notes, could you give them to her?" Allison had a tiny bit of hope that Blair might praise her for her good grades, but it turned out to be this.

Allison took a deep breath and looked at Blair, her eyes calm. "Why should I help her? Help someone who once framed me? Are you kidding me?" "Allison, Yasmin was young then. Maybe she didn't do it on purpose!" Allison clenched her fists, holding back her tears. She knew they didn't care about her, but it still hurt.

She suddenly shouted, "Yasmin was young at that time, wasn't I? If you didn't like me, why did you give birth to me?" Blair's eyes showed a hint of panic. "Allison, you should know, I love you!"

"Enough, don't say anymore. Every word you say makessick! You love me? Tell me, what kind of her mother who loves her daughter pusho loves would would push her to the brink? You never asked if it was true, and just judgedguilty. At thirteen, you lefton a plane and never cback. Mrs. Bennett, ask yourself, do you deserve to be a mother?" Five years of suppressed words cout. Allison didn't want to cry, but she did.

Blair quickly said, "Allison, I know you were wronged five years ago, but it's been five years. There's no point in Ve pursuinglit further. Your reputation is already ruined. Do you have to ruin Yasmin's reputation too to be satisfied? You can't be so selfish!" Blair's words really hit Allison. She had been framed, endured suffering, and ultimately was still labeled as selfish. Allison let out a bitter laugh.

She shouldn't have expected anything. She knew they wouldn't repent, they wouldn't truly like her. Why did she still hope? She knew the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

She took a breath and looked at Blair, then said calmly, "Mrs. Bennett, I'm no longer part of the Bennett family. From now on, my grandfather is my oply family. As for Yasmin, if she can't do well in school, that's on her and you for not teaching her properly. Why should I fix your mistakes? | refuse your request, and I hope you stay out of my life. Otherwise, I'll make those evidences public!"
