The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 260 The Opportunity to Rescue the Beauty Was Snatched Away Mason had always looked up to Alexander since they were kids. Alexander was smart, got great grades, and was the kind of kid every parent dreamed of.

Mason grew up with them. Landon wanted to be a cop and went to the police academy, while Declan got into a prestigious university abroad and left the country with Alexander.

Mason got into a local university but couldn't measure up to Alexander and Declan.

When they cback, Mason went abroad for his master's degree and got involved with international conglomerates.

After returning home, Mason managed the Grey Group pretty well, but soon after, a bad decision led to a financial crisis. Mason asked Alexander for help, but Alexander, who had the means, refused. This made Mason resentful.

Alexander said, "Mason, you cfrom a good background. The Grey Group might not be a top-tier company, but if managed well, you could still be one of Skycrest's wealthy families. The Grey Group could have been profitable, but you were too greedy, investing everything into the Golden Gate Gardens project. Your greed led to the financial collapse!" Mason responded, "Was it my greed, or your heartlessness? You all could have helped me, but none of you did!" Declan and Hunter looked at Mason. Honestly, no one wanted their friendship to end like this, but Mason's extrbehavior had nearly exhausted their goodwill.

Declan said, "Mason, when you were in trouble, Alexander and I were also facing issues with our companies. We didn't have the funds to help you. But Alexander found a buyer for you. If you had sold the project, you could have turned things around. But you refused!" Hunter said, "Mason, I don't know what happened back then, but knowing Alexander, he wouldn't just leave you to fend for yourself!" Mason said, "What do you know? He didn't helpbecause he didn't want to seesucceed, didn't wantto surpass him. He's selfish and doesn't deserve to be Novaria's richest man. He's just a despicable person who wouldn't lift a finger to save someone!" Allison, who had been watching from the side, couldn't stand it any longer. "I think you're the despicable one. It's a favor if someone helps you, but they're not obligated to. Why should anyone be expected to clean up your mess? Your greed caused the problem, so why should others fix it for you?" Allison's words made Mason even angrier.

Mason responded, "Who do you think you are? This is betweenand Alexander. It's none of your business!" Allison was furious too. "Alexander is my fiancé. Do you think it's none of my business? Mason, your greed destroyed everything. Do you know what Aurora Capital Fund is and why they invested so much in you?" Mason, who seemed smart, turned out to be incredibly foolish, used by others while thinking they were his benefactors.

Mason went mad at Allison's words.

Mason retorted, "And who do you think you are? Gaia, the infamous core member of Genesis Creations, the renowned hacker. Now you're pretending to be a doctor. What a joke! Do you even know how Genesis Creations started? Why were you chosen? Allison, you're the real scum here!"Allison didn't hesitate to slap him twice. The past from five years ago was a taboo for her. Despite being hit, Mason laughed because of Allison's embarrassment and anger.

Mason continued, "What, feeling guilty? I heard you were sold to the Hall family five years ago. They trained assassins on an island, and you were one of them, right? You know what the Hall family does. Do you think you're any cleaner than Sloane?" Alexander couldn't stand it anymore and punched Mason. Declan and Hunter quickly intervened, while Mason's men rushed in to take them away. Suddenly, a group of men in black, led by Jake, burst out from the nearby rooms. "Arrest them and take them out. If they resist, break their legs!" 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! Jake's men were highly skilled and quickly subdued Mason's men, confiscating their weapons. Landon cin with the police. "Mason, surrender now!" Mason couldn't believe his meticulously planned schwas so easily thwarted. "Impossible! You couldn't have known! Impossible!" Alexander looked at Mason and shook his head slightly. "Mason, give it up." Mason glared at Alexander, suddenly pulling out a gun and firing at him. Allison quickly pushed Alexander aside, and the shot rang out. Allison found herself shielded by someone.

She looked up in surprise to see that it was Carl who had protected her.

The bullet hit Carl's shoulder. Allison immediately pressed on the wound to stop the bleeding.

Alexander and Declan blocked the view of the guests, ensuring they didn't witness the scene. Jake cursed and rushed over to help Carl. "Landon, find a clean room!" Landon nodded. Carl's identity was sensitive, and taking him to a hospital would alert the authorities. Allison had Cleo bring her medical kit, confident she could handle it without a hospital.

"Allison, lethelp you!" Cleo had changed clothes, and Allison had removed her makeup and changed as well. She began operating on Carl, while Alexander stood at the door, looking serious.

Hunter asked cautiously. Alexander shook his head. "Go take care of the guests. Don't let Mia find out about this. Inform the Lewis family that the Apprenticeship Ceremony will continue." Landon had to manage the ceremony, leaving a visibly angry Alexander behind.

"Mr. Carter, Mason has been taken by the police, but there was an incident," James reported.

Alexander turned to him, and James continued, "After Mason fired the shot, Sloane bit him. Both have been taken to the hospital." Alexander took a deep breath. "Before I return to Skycrest, I want the Grey family erased from Novaria." James nodded and left to handle the matter. The Apprenticeship Ceremony had been ruined, and James was frustrated.

When Mason fired the shot, Sloane had gone berserk, biting him and shouting, "Alexander is mine! You can't hurt him!" Mason and Sloane were a strange pair of siblings. They both had the virus and would likely die soon.

Allison's surgery was swift. After removing the bullet, she prescribed medication for Jake to buy and set up an IV.

No one in the room spoke. Cleo watched Allison closely. There were ΟΠ things about the past five years that NQ.

Allison didn't know, like the fact that the people who trained them were Carl's men.
