The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Paxton, in his fifties, had just been slapped by Allegra. His face went pale with shock.

Seeing this, Layla quickly stepped in front of Paxton to shield him. "Fine, let's cut ties then. For all these years, when have you ever treated Paxton like your own son? He's just been your ATM, only coming around when you needed money. Now that Paxton's getting older, you come looking for Declan. This kind of relationship is better off severed. From now on, your problems are none of our concern!"

Allegra, unfazed and smug, replied, "Cutting ties isn't that easy. Without alimony, you can forget about it!"

Just then, Declan walked in and overheard the conversation. "How much do you want? I'll pay it."

With Declan there, Layla felt more secure. She quickly turned to help Paxton to the couch.

Allegra responded, "At least a hundred million dollars. If you can't come up with that, you'll have to pay me five million dollars every month, or I'll show up at your doorstep every day, and you can kiss your company goodbye!"noveldrama

"I agree," Declan said without hesitation. He made a quick phone call, and soon a lawyer arrived.

Declan said, "Draft a document to sever all ties. Once it's signed, get it notarized. Make sure it's done by the end of the day."

The lawyer nodded and went to draft the agreement. Seeing how decisive Declan was, Miles had another idea. "Declan, Oliver is also part of the Walker family. Shouldn't he get a share of the company too?"

Declan sneered, "Who does he think he is, claiming company shares? Miles, I suggest you check who owns the company. It has nothing to do with the Walker family. A hundred million dollars is my final offer. If you try to get more, I'll have my parents move abroad, and I'll declare bankruptcy. You won't get a cent."

Shirley quickly interjected, "No, a hundred million is fine. We'll take it."

With Miles' family agreeing, Allegra added, "Miles' villa needs to be transferred to his name, and Oliver should get a house for his future marriage."

"No problem," Declan agreed.

Layla was in tears, and Declan comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. We can always make more money."

Paxton, overwhelmed with emotion, clutched his chest and struggled to breathe. He was eventually taken away by an ambulance.

Declan acted swiftly, transferring a hundred million dollars to Allegra's account. Only then did Allegra and Miles' family leave, their heads held high. Layla seethed with hatred for them.

In the hospital corridor, Layla said, "You need to arrange for your dad and me to immigrate. I never want to see those people again."

Declan nodded. They already had assets abroad, and once Paxton recovered, he would send his parents overseas. Allegra's fate would no longer concern them.

Exhausted from a recent funeral, Allison fell ill as soon as she got home. Alexander took care of her, and when she finally felt well enough to get out of bed, she received a call from Blair.

Blair said, "Allison, Yasmin had triplets-two boys and a girl. Thank you!"

Allison paused. "I've handed over the Bennett family matters to Cade. Honestly, we're the outsiders. Cade is the true Bishop family member. If possible, let's not stay in touch."

After hanging up, Allison felt a deep sadness. Her mother, Blair, had always favored Yasmin and neglected her.

Five years ago, she was kicked out of her home with no support. What she longed for most, she never received.

Suddenly, the bed dipped as Alexander hugged her from behind. "Allison, what's wrong?"

Allison shook her head and smiled, wrapping her arms around Alexander's neck. "Alexander, I'm so glad I met you."

Alexander held her tightly, feeling the same way.

Soon, Mia was taken to Serenity Manor for her vacation, supposedly to keep Kismet company. Mia, who liked Kismet, got along well with her.

Allison, now teaching at the university, took over Dwight's lab. Teddy, back to his old self, hadn't slept in three days over a data discrepancy.

Carl urged, "Allison, you need to come quickly. If you don't, Teddy's going to pull all his hair out!"

Allison nodded. After going through the data, she began crunching numbers on the computer. Then she shifted to the blackboard, filling it with equations. Half an hour later, she had the solution.

Teddy reviewed all the calculations and couldn't help but admire Allison's mind, which worked like a supercomputer. With the data issue resolved, Teddy and Carl could move forward.

When she arrived, the room was packed. As soon as the students saw Allison, they greeted her with smiles. "Good morning, Ms. Bennett!"

"Morning," Allison smiled and began her lecture. She brought out several herbs for the students to identify, but most didn't know what they were. She wrote their names and components on the board.

Allison spoke, "Traditional medicine and modern medicine overlap in many areas. For example, the components of these herbs. I think explaining it this way might be more intuitive."

Allison then displayed the usage methods of the herbs on her computer for everyone

to see.

Allison continued, "These herbs have been used for centuries to treat illnesses. I hope today's lecture will spark your interest in traditional medicine."

She invited a few students to experience massage therapy, explaining the function of each body part.

Allison explained, "Massaging here will make your arm feel numb, and pressing here will be quite painful."

A student yelped in pain as she demonstrated. "Oh my God, it hurts! Ms. Bennett, help!"

After class, Allison called Benjamin. "Dr. White, I have an idea to incorporate massage therapy into the AI medical pods. I'll send you a proposal. Please review it and let me know your thoughts."
