Alanna woke up in the middle of the night. She felt thirsty. Her temples throbbed with pain, and her throat was parched.

She instinctively reached for the space beside her, but Hades wasn't there. She remembered him coming back. He probably left again.

Alanna chuckled bitterly. She got out of bed and went to get some water. However, she saw Hades on the balcony. His figure was impressive, but he seemed lonely in the night. He was in a bad mood. Alanna could tell at a glance.

She didn't interfere or ask. The only person who could affect his mood like this was probably Melanie. Alanna went into the kitchen alone, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it. Then, she returned to the bedroom.

As she was about to fall asleep, the bedroom door opened. Hades stood at the doorway. Alanna couldn't see his expression, but she could smell the strong scent of smoke on him.

"Are you awake?"

Hades' voice was deep and slightly menacing.

Alanna's lips twitched slightly. "Yes, Mr. Florenti

    "So that's what happened. Are you feeling better now?" Renee asked."Much better..."As Alanna spoke, she pushed the door open and entered her office. She paused the moment she stepped in, then laughed coldly. Despite Henry's warning yesterday, seeing Bernice Lind here caught her off guard.Bernice was Esther's niece and Melanie's cousin.In her childhood, Bernice often bullied Alanna alongside Melanie. Renee also looked displeased at the sight of Bernice."She's a parachuted executive arranged by Mr. Florentine. Supposedly, she's related to Melanie, so she was placed here. But in reality, she knows nothing. She just gives random orders, loses her temper all the time, and has already caused several people in our department to resign," Renee whispered in Alanna's ear.Alanna asked her to step out first, then approached her desk. Bernice was chatting with someone. She looked up and instantly smiled upon seeing Alanna."Melanie, guess who I saw?" Whatever the response was, it mad

    Alanna stood at the door of Hades' office. She took a deep breath and then knocked on the door. "Come in." Hades' voice came from inside. Alanna pushed the door open and saw him sitting leisurely behind his desk."Mr. Florentine, did you want to see me?" Hades chuckled lightly. "Ms. Jacinto, you really do know how to cause trouble."Alanna scoffed, "Aren't you the one who's causing me trouble? You knew that I was coming back today. Why didn't you have HR notify Ms. Lind?""So, you decided to handle it this way?" Alanna asked him, "What did you expect me to do?"Hades raised an eyebrow. "Couldn't you have come to me?""Would you have helped me if I did?" Alanna still remembered how Hades responded when she sought his help while Melanie was making things difficult. "Find someone else if you can't handle it," was his response. He was unwilling to help her. As long as it involved Melanie, Alanna always had to step aside. She didn't want to humiliate herself again. She woul

    Alanna turned sharply to look at him. "Hades, I built the marketing department from scratch!"Hades hummed in acknowledgment. "So?"Alanna's lips trembled slightly. "So, I can't just hand it over to Bernice!"Hades pinched her chin. "Then, you should adopt a more pleading attitude."Alanna stared straight at him. After a long moment, she let out a bitter laugh. "Mr. Florentine, I don't want to leave the marketing department."When he saw her softened stance, Hades' expression finally lightened slightly. "Alright, I'll have HR reassign her. As for Melanie's endorsement, your assistant can handle it from now on. You won't need to interact with Melanie anymore."Alanna chuckled bitterly. "Okay, thank you, Mr. Hades."His gaze darkened as he raised his hand to her earlobe. Before she could react, he kissed her. It was long before he seemed to calm down and let her go."Be more obedient in the future, Ms. Jacinto. Don't make me angry all the time."Alanna managed a bitter smile and

    "I really didn't mean to do it. You won't blame me, right?" As the people around began to look over, the smile on Bernice's face disappeared completely. It was replaced by a pitiful look.Alanna scoffed inwardly. She realized Bernice and Melanie were truly cousins based on their acting skills. She observed Bernice's slightly reddened eyes. Then, in front of everyone, Alanna picked up a bowl of freshly served noodles and splashed it onto Bernice. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do it either. I hope you won't blame me for that!"Bernice was drenched in the wet noodles. She screamed furiously. "You bitch! How dare you!" "You dared, so why wouldn't I?" Alanna retorted, then dropped the bowl and walked toward the sink.Bernice was seething with rage and started hurling insults. "You homewrecker! Alanna, you're just a mistress. Everyone, take a good look. This is your so-called aloof Ms. Jacinto! She's shamelessly becoming someone else's mistress!"Alanna clenched her fists tightly. She h

    Alanna smiled and said, "Thank you." Renee frowned and expressed concern, "But some people will believe the rumors. Are we going to let this matter slide?"Alanna looked down as the water continued to flow down her arm. She pondered what could be done. Who would step forward to clear her name? She scoffed to herself because she knew the answer was no one. Neither Hades nor Melanie would come to her defense.Alanna turned off the tap and said softly, "I can't control what others think. I know I've conducted myself with integrity."…The incident in the cafeteria at noon had become the talk of the company. Alanna's beauty had drawn attention during her three years at the company. This led to admiration from some and jealousy from others. Now, the gossip about her had everyone buzzing with excitement. Some believed Alanna was truly a mistress. Others argued that Bernice was merely jealous and spreading rumors. However, many felt there must be some truth to the rumors for them

    Alanna's voice was soft and pleading. Something stirred in Hades' heart. He looked up at Alanna and unconsciously pinched her cheek. "How would you like me to help?""Tell everyone I'm not a mistress. Could you clarify that for me, please?" She had been pretending not to care all day. She couldn't hold it any longer. She had done nothing wrong, so she felt it wasn't right for her to be slandered like this. The feeling of being pointed at and whispered about was too uncomfortable. When she saw how gently Hades was applying medicine for her, Alanna's stance finally softened. If anyone could clear her name from these rumors, she knew it would be Hades.However, Hades paused and asked Alanna, "Do you think that's appropriate, Ms. Jacinto?" His words snapped Alanna back to reality. She instantly sobered up. She did feel that it wasn't appropriate. She wondered what position or standing Hades had to clarify things for her. She realized that if he did clarify, it would be an indirect

    Hades picked up the documents and glanced through them casually before signing his name. After signing, he didn't return the documents to Alanna but instead looked up and asked, "Is your arm feeling better?"Alanna was silent for a moment before saying, "Much better."Hades gave her a look and inquired further, "And how are you feeling overall?""I'm fine," Alanna replied.The man nodded nonchalantly. "Don't overwork yourself. Delegate what you can.""Alright," she paused before asking, "Is there anything else, Mr. Florentine?"Hades watched her in silence. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"Alanna didn't deny it. "I have more work to attend to."Hades' eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he asked, "Is the class reunion this weekend?"Alanna was surprised he remembered this detail. She nodded and added, "There's no need to attend if you're busy."Initially, when Hades said he would accompany her to the class reunion, she was indeed looking forward to it. Even th

    Alanna hesitated briefly before saying, "I just wanted to confirm if you will attend the class reunion." The interest seemed to fade from Hades' voice. "I'll be back tonight. Have dinner ready and wait for me at home." "Okay," Alanna agreed.Hades inquired further, "Anything else?" "No, that's all." "Alright," Hades concluded and ended the call.Alanna put away her phone and checked the kitchen. The fridge was empty. Hades was particular about his food; it always had to be fresh. Lately, due to Alanna's ill health, he had arranged for meals to be delivered from a hotel. She tidied up a bit and headed out to the market. Regardless, she was the one asking for a favor this time. She wasn't sure if Bernice would stir up trouble at the reunion. But at least with Hades there, she felt she wouldn't be as brazen.When she returned from the market, it was already evening. Alanna went straight to the kitchen. By the time the meal was ready, it was nearly eight. After setting the tab

    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.
