Chapter 82 Helena Allison kept going, "Alexander, don't bother waking up someone who's just pretending to sleep. I'm here for one reason only: to reclaim the Bennett Group's assets. Those were my grandma's estate. Once the Bennett Group is back on track, I'm out of the Bennett family's business for good." Alexander held Allison's hand and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry, with Jasper's skills, getting those assets back won't be too hard. The tricky part is that woman has sconnection with your mom." Allison leaned on Alexander's shoulder, feeling safer than ever.
Just then, Cleo cdownstairs. Allison looked up and was totally stunned.
Cleo was rocking a spaghetti strap evening dress, her hair styled in waves, and still in high heels. The dress accentuated her already voluptuous figure, revealing a daring amount of cleavage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexander's face darkened, and he quickly covered Allison's eyes. "James, get her back to her room. If she can't dress properly, throw her out on the street!" Alexander was furious. This could set a bad example for Allison. How could he not be mad? James rushed upstairs, grabbed Cleo, and started dragging her away.
Cleo felt pretty speechless and struggled. "No, you don't get it, this is called sexy. Sexy, you know? I usually dress like this at home, what's the big deal?" Allison pushed Alexander's hand away and then lay on the sofa, laughing. Even Alexander was amused. "Did you two plan this? Testingwith this stunt?" Allison quickly shook her head. "No, no, how could I use such a dumb method? Besides, Cleo didn't mean it that way. She just wanted to play a prank!" Allison knew Cleo well and knew she loved pranks. The only team-building event at Genesis Creations was turned upside down thanks to her relentless efforts. Back then, Allison was only fifteen and was almost scared out of Genesis Creations by Cleo's wild antics. Cleo was locked in the bedroom by James. Anyway, she wasn't allowed out until she changed into a normal outfit. After twenty minutes of back-and-forth, Cleo finally gave in. They finally had a quiet dinner. Cleo went upstairs to sleep as she had to adjust her jet lag while Allison received a call from Jasper. "Allison, she wants to see you!" The "she" Jasper referred to was not just anyone, but an aunt of Allison's. Allison asked Alexander for his opinion. "Should I go?" "Do you want to go?" Alexander asked back. Allison nodded. "I saw my aunt when I was five or six. She had just graduated from college and was set up by Preston to work at the Bennett Group. But she went abroad after a couple of years. I should meet her." Alexander nodded. "If you want to see her, then go. There's nothing to be afraid of!" Helena wasn't sinvincible figure. There was nothing to fear, and especially with Alexander around, Jasper wouldn't dare to act rashly. Allison then took a car to the address Jasper sent, a café not far from the estate. When Allison went in, Alexander stayed in the car and instructed James, "Follow her in. If anything happens, get her out immediately." James nodded and followed Allison into the café.
By the window sat a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties, without a single wrinkle on her face. Her attractive eyes had a hint of charm when she raised her eyebrows. Seeing Allison, Helena greeted, "Long tno see, Allison. You've grown so much!" Allison walked over and sat down, then greeted politely. "Indeed, long tno see, Helena. You still look so young!" Helena looked at Allison, a flash of disdain in her eyes. Sure, Helena was beautiful, but compared to Allison's youthful energy, she fell short. Helena spoke up, "Allison, you've gotten more sensible. No wonder, after being kicked out of the Bennett family for five years, you must've learned a few things! You're an adult now. You should know not to meddle in adult affairs. You can't handle them. Even your mother pretends not to see, so why bother?" Allison's gaze turned icy as she looked at Helena, then she gave a sarcastic smile. "Helena, have you gotten so used to stealing other people's things that you think what you steal is yours? I'm here just to take back my grandmother's assets. Your mess with Preston has nothing to do with me!" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

There was no way she was giving back the money she had taken, so she glanced at Jasper sitting at a nearby table, her expression turning cold.
She turned to Allison and said, "Impossible, Allison. You won't get a single penny from me, whether it's you, your mother, or that old bastard. It won't work!" Allison smiled and took out her phone, showing a photo to Helena.
When Helena saw the photo, her pupils contracted. "Allison, if you lay a finger on him, believe me, you won't walk out of this café!" Allison threw the phone on the table, her gaze coldly fixed on Helena. "Helena, if you don't return my grandmother's assets, your son will be gone within an hour. You can start timing now. Every ten minutes, you'll get a call!" With that, Allison put her hands in her pockets and calmly looked at Helena, watching her go from arrogance to doubt until the first call cin. "Mrs. Bennett, something's wrong. Mr. Bennett is missing!" Helena shouted into the phone. "What do you mean missing? Why is he missing? Isn't he at school?" The call was from the butler, who had just received a call saying Cade Bennett was missing, so he immediately called Helena.
Helena hung up the phone and glared angrily at Allison. "You... what did you do?" Allison still had her hands in her pockets and said calmly, "Shall we wait another ten minutes?" The next ten minutes were pure torture for Helena. She still held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking Allison was just bluffing. Soon, ten minutes passed, and the second call cin. "Mommy!" 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! Helena quickly said, "Cade, you're okay, right? Mommy knew it was just a false alarm!" But Cade didn't speak on the other end of the phone, giving Helena a bad feeling.
After a while, Cade's voice cthrough. "Mommy, tellthe truth. Am I the child of an affair? Does Daddy have another family?"
His words made Helena's face turn pale instantly. She valued her son greatly and had always told him the was Preston's son. Since they were abroad, Cade didn't know anything about the Bennett family and believed his parents were legally married. But now, the carefully crafted ivory tower had shattered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot hearing Helena's response, Cade shouted, "You don't dare answerbecause it's true, isn't it? Why? Why am I an illegitimate child, why!" The call ended, and Helena smashed the phone. She rushed to Allison, grabbing her by the collar. "You bitch, how can you be so cruel? Cade is your brother. How can you do this to him?" Allison sneered, grabbed Helena's wrist, and twisted, making Helena scream.
"Allison, don't use force!" Jasper cover to stop her, but Allison had no intention of letting go.
Allison just coldly looked at Helena.
"Now, lettell you what's going to happen next. Right now, Cade's phone has just received evidence of Preston cheating on his wife with her sister. But then, I'll send him Preston's marriage certificate, photos of you and Preston together, and Cade's DNA test results. Helena, don't think you can get away with what you've done." Allison let go, but Helena's wrist was dislocated. She looked at Allison, as if seeing a devil. "How can you be so vicious!"
Allison scoffed, "Of course, I was forced by you all. Five years ago, I discovered Cade's photos, so om Preston setup and kickedout of the Bennett family! Now I'm back. If you don't return my grandmother's assets, in ten minutes, these things will appear on Cade's school intranet. Another ten minutes, and they'll be on the domestic media network!"
