After Alanna finished speaking, Hades laughed quietly with scorn and disdain. He asked, "Do you think you have the right to discuss the terms with me, Ms. Jacinto?"

Alanna met his gaze. "You said we could talk about it, didn't you? I thought I did have the right."

Hades' gaze fell on her fair, tender earlobes. She was just a weak, fragile woman, yet she'd go against him over such trivial matters.

Anger surged within him. Grabbing her by the waist, he leaned closer and bit hard on her earlobe.

Alanna felt a sudden pain in her earlobe. Hades' voice reached her from right beside her ear immediately after.

"Are you proposing those terms because you're still thinking of going over to help that Shane guy?" His voice was frosty.

Alanna knew he was furious, but she didn't deny it. Indeed, she wanted to help Shane.

It wasn't only because she had promised him and didn't want to go back on her word, but it was also because of the money and wanting to have her own career.

    Alanna cast Hades a glance before handing him her phone. He picked it up straight away.Before he could speak, Garrett demanded, "Alanna Jacinto, are you really going to watch that old hag die?"Hades' eyes narrowed. After a while, he asked, "Garrett Jacinto, do you know who I am?"Garrett was stunned. "H-Hades Florentine?""If you dare harass Alanna again, I won't stop with just cutting off one hand!" Hades sounded brutal as he said that.Then, he hung up on Garrett.Alanna frowned. "What did you mean by cutting off his hand?"Hades merely glanced at her without explaining himself. All he asked was, "Why was your mother ever interested in Garrett?"Alanna pressed her lips into a thin line.Why was Tara interested in Garrett? She was probably tricked by his initial impression.Garrett was extremely nice to Tara at first.He wasn't wealthy then. But every day after work, he'd wait at Tara's workplace to pick her up from work. Then, he'd buy her food that she craved but was he

    "Drive safely, Mr. Florentine."Hades arched an eyebrow at her.Then, he passed her his necktie. "You should do more than just sweet talk," he said.Alanna took it. After a moment of silence, she still went over and put it on for him.Then, just as she backed down, Hades abruptly grabbed her around the waist.His gaze fell on her collarbone, which was now more pronounced due to her weight loss. "You're too thin; you should eat more," he remarked.Alanna nodded casually. "Sure."However, Hades showed no signs of letting her go. She frowned and was about to ask if there was anything else he needed when he suddenly lowered his head.His warm lips pressed against hers. He broke through her defenses and deepened the kiss.It wasn't until Alanna started struggling that he released her. She gasped for breath.Hades chuckled and wiped her lips with his finger. "Call me if anything's up."Alanna dodged his finger and agreed. "Sure."When he saw her attempt at avoiding him, he pulled

    Terrence was standing at the door with a smile on his face. "What a coincidence, Ms. Jacinto."Alanna didn't expect to meet him here. But now, she refused to speak to him. "I have something to attend to. I'll be taking my leave."However, Terrence promptly stood in her way.He'd been in a terrible fix trying to sort out several civil dispute cases recently. Today, he was here to talk about the case progression. He never thought he'd bump into Alanna.Since he encountered her, he decided he couldn't let her slip away."What's this, Ms. Jacinto? Trying to avoid me?" he asked.Alanna felt a surge of annoyance. She felt disgusted whenever she saw Terrence now. She couldn't understand how she'd wronged him.Was he putting her in a difficult situation just because she refused his suggestion?Or was it because she had taken Melanie's place that he was here to speak out for Melanie?Regardless, Alanna refused to say anything more to him. "Seems like you're aware of that."Then, she h

    Terrence instantly lost all patience. "Just pretend you never saw anything, Mr. Lawson."Terrence shoved Shane aside and approached Alanna once again.Shane quickly signaled to the others. "Call the cops."Terrence smirked. "Mr. Lawson, do you still want to make a living in Jagersville?"Shane laughed. "Of course I do. But I can't just watch as something like this takes place in my firm, can I?"Terrence snorted. He'd never been at such a disadvantage. The slap, in particular, fed his anger the more he thought about it. How dare that bitch hit him?He grabbed Shane's collar. "I said you should pretend you saw nothing. Do you not understand me?"Shane remained calm and composed as he looked at Terrence. "I have surveillance cameras installed around here, Mr. Abbott."Terrence smirked and landed a punch on Shane's face. "So what if you do? I'll hit you all the same!"He was already frustrated recently, what with all sorts of troubles cropping up in his company. And now, Alanna a

    The bleak wind blew as Hades stood there in his coat.Although he was just standing there, Alanna tensed.Her mind buzzed.She did not expect to see Hades after calling Yves.She also wasn't sure if Hades had overheard what Shane had just said.Shane immediately frowned when he saw Hades.Talk about timing.On the other hand, Terrence was thrilled and smirked when he saw Hades."Hades, did you hear them? I'm not trying to falsely accuse anyone here. "Mr. Lawson showed off his strength today. He didn't even care about his career in Jagersville. He was even willing to hit me to play the hero for Ms. Jacinto." Hades turned to look at Terrence before turning to Alanna. Then, he chuckled."Ms. Jacinto, you have quite a knack for stirring up trouble."Alanna's expression was slightly tense.Hades walked over and touched the handprint on her neck."I heard you were doing all this out of jealousy?""I wasn't!" Alanna immediately denied it."Then, why did you do it? Can you ex

    Hades immediately raised his eyebrow.He smiled at Alanna, but he did not look happy."What do you have to say to me?"Alanna turned to look at Shane. "Mr. Lawson, please wait outside for a moment."Shane looked at Alanna with slight worry.However, Alanna only said, "It'll be quick."Shane looked at Hades and nodded in the end.After Shane left, Alanna looked up and met Hades' gaze."Mr. Florentine, Mr. Lawson has things he needs to do."Hades reached out to grab her hand instead. His slender fingers glided gently around her wrist.It was as if he was playing with a fun toy."So?"Alanna took a deep breath. "So, can you let Mr. Lawson leave?"Hades smiled."Ms. Jacinto, what are you so afraid of?"What was she afraid of?She was afraid that the nanny's fate would befall Shane.That nanny had been fired after merely upsetting Hades.So, if Shane were to make Hades livid, he might no longer have a career in Jagersville.She didn't think Shane should sacrifice himself

    Alanna immediately began to struggle.After everything that had just happened, she wasn't willing to do it with him tonight.But Hades did not give her a chance to protest. He was using all of his strength to exert dominance.His body began to heat up as Alanna was now trapped in his embrace.He understood her body well.But suddenly, Alanna's body began to relax.He took that opportunity to force his thighs in between her legs.They began to kiss intimately inside the bright elevator.Alanna opened her eyes only to close them again.Hades chuckled and asked shamelessly, "Ms. Jacinto, why did your body suddenly go soft like putty?"Hades had always been a bastard during sex. He would whisper obscene things into Alanna's ears every time they did it. It tended to make her go red and shy.But today, Alanna only felt humiliated.She didn't want this. Yet her body could not help but react toward him.Hades was delighted by her reaction.Alanna had a flexible body. She probably

    It was an anti-inflammatory cream for the private parts."I'm sorry. I was too excited and got a bit rough."Alanna looked uncomfortable but quickly returned to her polite and distant behavior."I can do it myself."Hades narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you sure you can do it yourself?"Alanna looked at the salve. "I'm sure."Hades did not hand the salve over to her. Instead, he pulled her toward him."Why are you being shy? It's not like I've never seen it before."Alanna looked uncomfortable.At the end of the day, there was still something between her and Hades.She could sleep with him as she was taking his money.But she did not want to do anything intimate with him."I really can do it myself."She wanted to take the salve, but Hades did not give it to her.She watched as Hades' expression darkened gradually, so she gave up.After applying the salve, Hades went to the bathroom to wash his hands."Rest for a while.

    He casually picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Who is this pretty boy?"Alanna looked at the snow outside."Can't you tell? A handsome guy."Hades frowned. "Is he more handsome than me?"Alanna couldn't be bothered to answer him.Hades lowered his eyes and held her waist. "Ms. Jacinto, are you feeling needy?"Alanna furrowed her brows. "Hades, can you be serious?"But Hades shamelessly replied, "If you have any needs, just give me a call. I'll be at your service anytime and anywhere."Alanna glared at him. "Hades, have some dignity."Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you doubting my abilities?"Alanna kicked his leg without hesitation.Hades laughed. "Feeling better now?"Alanna paused before nodding slightly. "Thank you.""Silly girl. Why are you thanking me?" Alanna smiled and got back to her work. She glanced at the man on the other side, who was busy replying to emails on his phone."If you're busy, you don't have to come over here on

    Alanna was surprised. She then looked up at the man before her.She had a guarded expression.The man chuckled and handed her another business card. "I'm Mason Lowe and a classmate of Grayson's. I've heard a bit about you from him. I happened to have a business meeting recently that required translation. Would you be interested in taking up the job?"Alanna remained wary."Mr. Lowe, since you're Grayson's classmate, it would be more convenient to talk to him. I have something to attend to today, so I'll take my leave."With that, she pulled Chelsey and headed out. After their figures disappeared, Mason chuckled."She's quite guarded."He muttered to himself before lighting a cigarette. Just then, his phone rang. A woman's voice came from the other end."Didn't I ask you to approach Alanna? Why haven't you made any progress after such a long time?"Mason took a drag of his cigarette."Do you think it's easy to get close to Alanna? She's always surrounded by bodyguards. I o

    Chelsey didn't know how to comfort Alanna."Ally, you need to move on."Alanna nodded without saying much. There was nothing else she could do.While the doctor examined Chelsey's wound and prescribed her medication, a commotion arose outside.Michel and the dog's owner had followed them to the clinic."Chelsey!"As soon as Michel entered the clinic, he called out.Chelsey gave him a sidelong glance. "What are you doing here?"Michel chuckled. "I came to check on you after hearing you got bitten."Chelsey scoffed. "What for? I got bitten by a dog, not you."Michel clicked his tongue. "Even if we were to bite each other, you would be the one who bit me."Chelsey aimed a kick at him. But before she could reach him, someone shouted, "Michel!"Chelsey immediately retracted her foot and glared at Michel. "Get out of the way. Stop being an eyesore."Michel chuckled. "Chelsey, are you reluctant to kick me?"Without hesitation, Chelsey aimed another kick at him. This time, she hi

    Justin entered the room just in time to hear Alanna's questionHe paused briefly before taking a deep breath and walking up to her."Ms. Jacinto."Alanna turned around and saw Justin coming in with a stack of forms.Her lips twitched. But before she could speak, Justin beat her to it."Ms. Jacinto, what brings you here?" His demeanor was natural, showing no signs of evasion.Alanna pursed her lips and smiled slightly. "I'm here accompanying Chelsey for her shot."With that, she glanced back at the little girl."Is this your daughter?"Justin nodded, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the girl."Yes, she's my daughter."Alanna's fingers twitched. "May I hold her?"Almost instinctively, the nanny holding the girl took a step back.Alanna's hands froze. She said, "Sorry."Justin's brow furrowed instantly.He glanced at the nanny before explaining softly to Alanna."Aashika was born prematurely and has a very weak immune system. We always disinfect before holdin

    After leaving the detention center, Alanna seemed lost in thought.Although Tucker hadn't revealed much, she couldn't shake off her suspicions about Edmund."Do you think it could be Edmund?" Hades remained silent."The key question now is, if it's Edmund, why would he harm your mother?"Alanna lowered her gaze.Hades was right. She wondered why.Since learning that Tara was being targeted, she had thought of countless possibilities. Who could be behind the threats, and why would anyone want to harm such a fragile woman?But she still had no answers.Hades felt a pang of heartache."We'll find out eventually. Don't worry, if it's him, he'll show his true colors sooner or later."Alanna looked out the window and responded in a hum.Hades looked at her and gently caressed her cheek."Ally, don't feel sad. It hurts me."Alanna brushed his hand away. "Stop touching me all the time."Hades' mouth twitched."I've already asked Margaret to make preparations for the New Year.

    Alanna glanced at him and brushed off his hand.Hades' eyes twinkled with amusement."Is it okay to spend the New Year's Eve together?"Alanna turned her head and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.It was already mid-December.The New Year was approaching.Their baby was already three months old.If nothing had gone wrong, their New Year's Eve would have been filled with joy.Alanna withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and straightened her clothes.Hades saw the glimmer of moisture in her eyes when she lowered her head.His heart ached, and he quickly hurried over to hug her."Everything will be fine."Alanna fought back her tears and nodded before pushing him away.Hades looked at her determined expression with a sense of helplessness."Let's go see Tucker. Maybe we can get some information about your mother."Alanna nodded and followed him out.After the two left, Chelsey rolled her eyes in the room."What a world! I have to see them being all lovey-dovey ri

    In Northlight Group at Brunstein City, Edmund listened as his assistant reported everything to him."You mean, Olivia has been investigating Tara recently?"The assistant nodded. "Yes, and she's been very thorough."Edmund's pen snapped in his hand."Besides that, did she find out anything else?""She already found out about Tara's death."Edmund's face turned grim. "Got it."After speaking, he paused briefly. "Prepare something for me, and also, invite Mrs. Campbell to have lunch with me at the company."Olivia arrived at Northlight Group before noon.Before she could enter the office, she heard Edmund making a phone call."Mr. Florentine, I can help stabilize the stock price of Florentine Group with Northlight, but I hope you won't vent your anger on Alanna. Yes, she's important to me. You could say, even more important than Hudson."Olivia's steps abruptly halted. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.It wasn't until Edmund's secretary called out to her that Olivi

    Alanna's grip on her phone tightened slightly."Hades, are you... really okay?"Hades chuckled. "I'm just trying to get some sympathy from you. Is it working?"Alanna pursed her lips and remained silent.Hades chuckled. "Go to bed early."After a pause, he added, "Also, try not to take sleeping pills.""Where are you?"Alanna suddenly asked.Hades was stunned.He glanced at the villa in the distance. "I'm taking a walk outside.""Taking a walk in the dead of winter?"Hades chuckled. "Ms. Jacinto, are you showing concern for me?"Alanna scoffed. "Go ahead and enjoy your walk."Hades quickly responded, "I'm outside handling some business. I just finished and suddenly missed you. So I wanted to call you."Alanna pursed her lips."Hades, we're partners now. From now on, don't hide anything from me."Hades' voice softened."Alright, I won't hide anything from you."Alanna didn't say much and hung up the phone directly.She silently looked at the sleeping pills on the beds

    Afterward, he sneered, extinguished his cigarette, and drove away.Just as he left the residential area, a car suddenly came speeding towards him.Hades jerked the steering wheel.But the car behind him turned around and came back in his direction.Hades narrowed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal, rushing forward.However, he didn't intend to shake off the car this time.Instead, he maintained a distance that allowed him to keep sight of the car. It was neither too close nor too far. He ensured that the car couldn't catch up with him and he wouldn't lose sight of it.The scenery outside became increasingly desolate.At some point, they were already on the outskirts.Surprisingly, Hades lit a cigarette at this moment.Then, he sent a location to Yves."Come handle the accident."Hades' car suddenly went uphill before rushing down a steep slope.The person in the car behind widened their eyes.Below the steep slope was a wall!They slammed on the brakes.
