The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 263 The Ellis Family is the Traitor Allison couldn't help but laugh as Cleo and Elijah joined her. It was their first tseeing such a lively scene, and they were curious about everything around them.

"Allison, this food is amazing! I can't believe you guys have such big gatherings. It's so impressive!" Cleo said, wide-eyed.

Elijah, who was used to being alone, smiled slightly. He wasn't accustomed to so many people sitting together and instinctively observed everyone passing by.

He noticed something and glanced at Alexander.

"Did you figure it out?" Alexander whispered. Allison's ears perked up, and she looked at the two of them.

"What did you guys find out?" she asked.

Alexander placed a piece of steak in Allison's bowl. "You eat and watch the show," he said.

Allison's eyes widened as she stared at Alexander. Her adorable expression made Alexander want to kiss her, but with so many people around, he restrained himself and instead fidgeted with his fingers.

Soon, James quietly approached them. "Mr. Carter, we found it!" Alexander stood up to leave, but Allison grabbed his sleeve. "Takewith you!" Cleo nudged Elijah. "What are they talking about?" Elijah, with a rare smile, replied, "Catching the mastermind. Mason is just a small fry; the real big shot is behind the scenes." Allison clung to Alexander's hand, thrilled. He had no choice but to take her along. As soon as they left the Wells family's estate, Alexander pulled Allison into the RV. James had already started the engine. Cleo, Sabrina, and Landon followed them. "Who is it?" Landon asked as soon as he got in. Alexander didn't answer but turned on the RV's media system. Five LCD screens lit up, displaying numerous surveillance feeds. Sfeeds were from Serenity Manor. Allison frowned and sat down with her laptop to control the surveillance footage. She clearly saw people moving things.

Allison looked at Alexander, who had a helpless expression. He didn't want her to see this, but slessons had to be learned firsthand.

"What are they moving?" Allison asked.

Elijah answered, "Mr. Sullivan's equipment. Your latest precision instruments, the only ones of their kind in the world! They're also taking all your used electronic devices, likely to extract data and steal your research!" Allison stared at the people on the screen. These were people she trusted the most. "How did you find out?" she asked Alexander.

He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back. "I noticed something was off with the Ellis family when they started embezzling renovation funds. Over the years, Kismet worked hard to earn money to buy back those properties, but many of Serenity Manor's deeds were registered under the Ellis family. I confronted Xavier, and he demanded money to transfer the deeds to your name. Kismet doesn't know about any of this." Alexander mentioned Kismet specifically to prevent Allison from misunderstanding that Kismet was involved.

Allison said, "Kismet would never do this to me. She cares more about Valencia and the Bishop family than I do! I'm just hurt. Since I started making money, I've never treated the Ellis family poorly. Kismet, at over eighty years old, has been supporting their entire family. I never expected this." In the surveillance video, Xavier and his crew were loading the equipment into a truck, but they were soon surrounded by armed SWAT officers.

Allison watched as Xavier got out of the truck to negotiate with the officers. Her phone rang, and she answered, curious about what Xavier would say.

"Ms. Bennett, there's a situation at Serenity Manor. I was moving sold furniture, but a group of police surrounded me, accusingof stealing ssecret equipment. That's impossible! It's just sold items from the house that I was going to repair," Xavier lied without batting an eye.

"Xavier, I learned to trade stocks at eleven and made fifty thousand dollars with the money Valencia gave me. I gave it all to you without hesitation," Allison said.

Xavier fell silent. He glanced at the surveillance camera at the gate, his face turning pale. Allison laughed. "When I returned from abroad, you pickedup and tookto Avalon City, tellingto live well and givingfive thousand dollars. I thought, even if the world abandoned me, I still had family. So, from that year on, I gave you fifty million dollars annually for five years to repair Serenity Manor, without fail." Xavier mumbled, "Allison, I... I didn't." Allison said, "If you're innocent, open the trunk and let the police see. The truth will cout."

Xavier gripped his phone tightly, panic in his eyes. Allison cried, clutching her chest in pain. "I will take care of Kismet until the end. She will be buried in the Bishop family cemetery and always be part of our family. But you, you're an Ellis. No matter how well we treat you, you'll always think it's your right. You know what you've done and what punishment you deserve. That's your fate." She hung up. The SWAT team opened the trunk, finding the stolen items. Everyone involved, including all members of the Ellis family, was taken for questioning.

Allison's heartache was so intense she nearly passed out. Alexander, noticing, panicked. "Quick, to the hospital!" he shouted.

James saw through the rearview mirror and sped towards the hospital. By the tAllison was taken to the emergency room, she had already lost consciousness.

Alexander, furious, punched the wall.

Cleo and Elijah were equally enraged. "Hurting Allison, they'll pay for this!" Cleo declared, turning to leave, but Elijah stopped her. "Carl knows about this and has already arranged for those people to be kicked out of е m Serenity Manor. That place is Allison's home; they don't deserve to stay there!" Despite this, Cleo was still furious. She knew better than anyone how hard Allison had worked to support her family, only to be treated as a cash cow and now betrayed. Landon received a call and quickly ran back in. "Xavier attempted suicide and has been taken to the hospital. Several of the Ellis family's sons are involved and will likely go to prison. We also discovered that one of the Ellis family members' wives is a foreign spy." "Which country?" Alexander asked. "Eldoria," Landon replied.
