The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 223 Reconciliation Vernon plopped down at the table just as Allison finished up her writing. She headed to the restroom to wash her hands, then cback to start making tea. Vernon gave her an approving nod.

"Valencia taught you well, Allison. Sorry for being a jerk earlier. Hope you didn't take it to heart." Allison poured the tea and set it in front of Vernon with a respectful nod. "You're my elder. I was out of line too, so I should be the one saying sorry." Vernon nodded and smiled as he took the tea.

"Well said. Let's enjoy this tea." After taking a sip, Vernon started talking.

"I cto Serenity Manor with no bad intentions. I just want to settle an old matter. Years ago, my great- grandfather got a favor from the Bishop family and took a fortune to Eldoria. It's in our family history. We've been guarding their secret ever since." Allison nodded and pulled a box from her bag, placing it in front of Vernon. "Valencia gavethis before she passed. Inside is a gem and a contract. It's the agreement your great-grandfather made with the Bishop family. The treasure vault in Eldoria is now yours." Vernon was surprised by how easily Allison handed over such an important item.

"Allison, you..." Allison poured more hot tea and set it in front of Vernon.

"If you don't mind, just callAllison, and I'll call you Vernon." Vernon smiled and took another sip of tea.

"Alright, Allison. You've got the spirit of the Bishop family." Allison smiled and kept making tea as they chatted like old friends.

"I was raised by Valencia, so of course, I'm part of the Bishop family. I'm really grateful that she gavea hwhen I was at my lowest. Back then, Valencia sold her assets to support Hayden's business, which eventually failed, leaving a five-million-dollar gap.

It was your grandfather who gave Valencia five million dollars, which is why the Bennett family exists today." Valencia remembered this her whole life, so she willingly gave these items to the Bishop family in Eldoria.

"Valencia was a wise woman. My grandfather judged her right. Since you're so righteous, Allison, I'll make you a promise. The treasure vault belongs to all the Bishop family members. We'll take only thirty percent, and the rest will go to you. That's always been our rule." Vernon was a man of great vision, and Allison could see why he becthe leader of the Bishop family in Eldoria.

"Vernon, you're indeed a man of your word. You can discuss this with Xavier, who manages the Bishop family's assets. I have a gift for you as a gesture of support." Allison handed Vernon a contract.

"I visited Eldoria a year ago and bought a piece of land. I plan to build a biopharmaceutical factory there and have already gotten government approval. I need a local company to construct it, and I think you're the right person for the job." Vernon looked at the contract in surprise.

"A year ago, you spent two billion dollars on this land. Allison, you've got guts." Allison shook her head with a smile. "Just got lucky, Vernon. I get the challenges you're up against, but don't put all your hopes on the treasure vault. The factory's gonna need three billion to build, and the profits should be enough to keep us afloat." Vernon nodded, clearly impressed.

With you, the Bishop family will definitely thrive." Allison smiled but kept quiet. She never intended to claim the Bishop family's assets.

Their conversation went smoothly, and Allison took Vernon to meet Kismet.

"Vernon, it's been years. You still know how to make a grand entrance." Vernon smiled modestly.

"Kismet, in your presence, I'm just a junior. Sorry for my earlier offense. You can punishas you see fit." Kismet raised an eyebrow and called Xavier in.

"Take Vernon to the kitchen and have him wash dishes for three days. No one is allowed to help him." Allison laughed, knowing Kismet was standing up for her. Vernon didn't mind and went to the kitchen to wash dishes.

Kismet held Allison's hand. "I wanted to see how you'd handle Vernon. You did well, Allison. You're just like Ms. Bishop." Allison leaned on Kismet's shoulder with a smile. "No, Kismet, you're the most formidable." The two shared a warm moment while Vernon washed dishes, leaving Barry feeling awkward.

"Mr. Bishop, letdo it. When have you ever washed dishes?" Vernon waved Barry away. "Go help with other tasks. Don't just stand around." The wealthiest man in Eldoria was now working as a waiter in a private kitchen, serving dishes and washing plates. Xavier found it quite amusing.

Alexander, aware of the situation, wrapped his arm around Allison's waist and kissed her forehead.

"It seems Allison is the most capable.

I heard the leader of the Butterflyn S Shadow organization is named Faith and is from Eldoria. If you want to find them, you'll need Vernon's help."

Allison nodded. "I know. Once Vernon is done, I'll discuss the Faith family with him. I heard they even produced a president. Their sudden move to e Novaria must have an unknown motive. I wonder how Sabrina is doing." Thinking of this, Allison called Sabrina, who seemed to be enjoying her twith the SWAT team.

"How's the drone attack system coming along?" Sabrina quickly sent Allison an update on her recent work.

Allison reviewed it and nodded. "Good job. Keep everything confidential. Only you can access our backend, understood?" Sabrina nodded, smiling happily. Allison trusted her and had Cleo transfer a million dollars into her account. "This is for your hard work. When you return, I'll treat you to something delicious." "Great, I can't wait!"

Sabrina was overjoyed, her eyes lighting up at the bank notification. Allison also transferred an additional E thousand dollars for snacks. "Allison, I love you!" Landon walked in just in tto hear Sabrina's enthusiastic declaration, relieved that it was directed at Allison.
