Upon hearing the busy signal, Hades scoffed. Alanna's audacity was truly showing. Despite having yet to receive the termination agreement, she already had the nerve to block his number.

Hades snuffed the cigarette and texted her, "Call me back."

Then, he stared at his phone as he waited for her call. However, Alanna didn't end up calling him. His phone remained silent till the end, and his text remained the last sentence of their conversation.

Hades grew increasingly frustrated. He could no longer suppress his anger. Though he'd convinced himself to stop pursuing what he wouldn't get, it was difficult to follow through.

He clutched his phone in a firm grip and thought of going to see her. But on the other hand, he thought there was no reason for him to pester her.

Why should he stoop so low? It would be unseemly, as though he couldn't survive without Alanna. He put his phone back down but picked it up again a few moments later. It was still as silent as a mouse.

Frustrated, he sc

    Hudson seemed unconcerned. "You don't have to worry about that. Just come over when you resign. Northlight Group welcomes you whenever."Alanna had no excuse to put him off now that he put it that way. "Sure. I'm looking forward to working with you."Though they were at the restaurant to eat, none of them actually ate much.After leaving the restaurant, Travis dropped Hudson off at the hotel. Then, he gave Alanna a lift back. "How have you been feeling these couple of days?" he asked.Alanna nodded. "Pretty good."Travis hesitated before asking, "How are things… between you and Hades?"Alanna didn't want to talk about Hades. Although she was determined to leave him, her heart would still ache at the mention of him. Memories of him were deeply etched in her mind.She was silent for a second. "We're breaking up," she answered. Then, she changed the topic. "Travis, please let Mr. Jyles know he can assign me more tasks after this."Travis nodded. "No worries, I'll do my best to sch

    With a stiff expression, Hades apologized, "I'm sorry."Alanna smiled. "That's all irrelevant now, so let's not talk about it. Hades, since Melanie's so important to you, you should just settle down with her. I'll appreciate it if you both stop bothering me."Hades' expression soured at her words. Was she that eager to cut all ties with him? Besides, since when had he said that he was going to get together with Melanie?Alanna noticed his expression, of course, but she dismissed it. After saying that, she turned and entered the apartment block.Hades lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. Alanna immediately frowned. But then, she suddenly noticed his hand was bleeding.She pressed her lips together and didn't try to break free. "Anything else you have to say?"Hesitating, Hades struggled as he said, "Ally, please give me a chance to redeem myself. I promise I won't let anything like that happen in the future. I'll answer your calls whenever you call me, okay?"Alanna chuckled. "A

    Alanna averted her gaze immediately, but her knuckles turned white from holding the glass. After some time, she sniffled. She took a sip of water before returning to the bedroom.The next day, she hopped into a taxi and headed to the cafe. Jeff was already there when she arrived. The morning rays landed softly on the striking man sitting in the cafe and turned heads.Smiling, Alanna walked over. "Thanks for coming."Jeff frowned at her. "You look healthy, but you're so much thinner than two days ago. Did you really refuse to eat?"Not knowing why, Alanna felt embarrassed. "It won't happen again."Jeff still appeared to disapprove of her actions. "Whatever may happen in the future, always remember that your health comes first."Alanna nodded with a smile.Hades entered while glowering. His expression darkened further when he set eyes on Jeff. "Has your performance dropped, Mr. Simmons? You seem to be quite free."Jeff laughed. "That won't be an issue, Mr. Florentine. I'll be sur

    After Alanna finished speaking, she instantly turned and headed for the exit. Jeff couldn't help but frown as he watched them.Glancing at Hades' phone, he got up and patted Hades on the shoulder. "If you can't get over Alanna, you should first rid your surroundings of your admirers before trying to win her back."There's no wonder that she refuses to come back to you. You're in an ambiguous relationship with another woman."Hades looked down as he pulled out a cigarette. "You should just stay out of it, and everything will be fine."Jeff laughed. "Ms. Jacinto is single now, and anyone can pursue her. Even if I'm out of the picture, there will always be someone else. Am I right?"With that, Jeff packed his belongings and headed out.He could see that Hades hadn't gotten over Alanna.But Hades should show more sincerity when trying to make her stay. He shouldn't be behaving like he did. He shouldn't be saying that it all meant nothing to him.But Jeff wasn't obliged to remind hi

    After leaving with Alanna, Jeff asked, "Do you have any food preferences, Ms. Jacinto? Or is there anything you don't eat?"Alanna thought about it and answered, "I have a sweet tooth, and I'm allergic to nuts, such as cashew nuts and almonds. Everything else is fine to me."Jeff was dazed. Moments later, he let out a laugh. "You and my mom have many things in common. Both of you are gifted in languages, have a sweet tooth, and are allergic to nuts. You two should get to know each other. I bet you'll have a lot to talk about."Alanna's eyes lit up. "Are you referring to Mrs. Simmons?"Smiling, Jeff nodded. "Mrs. Simmons to others. To us, she's just a spoiled little lady, thanks to my dad." When he said that, he sounded doting.Alanna was kind of envious. It was a pity that she wasn't as close to her family and had never known such loving families.Jeff noticed she looked down. "Don't worry. Your mother will get better sooner or later."Alanna smiled and nodded.Jeff took her to

    Hudson said that on purpose because of Hades' ruthless ways when they were in Brunstein City.With his hands in his pockets, Hades stared at Hudson. Moments later, he scoffed. "Since when have you been so friendly with Ms. Jacinto here, Mr. Hudson? Besides, I remember telling you to keep your hands off someone else's woman."Alanna frowned and was about to say something when Hudson beat her to it. He said, "Oh? Is she still your woman? But I heard that you two have broken up."Furthermore… Ms. Jacinto will soon be under Northlight Group's employment. She'll be Northlight Group's manager instead of Brilliance Group's."Hudson had a different temperament from Hades. Hades was reserved and steady, while Hudson was bright and radiant. Though Hudson was only stating the facts, he seemed boastful.Alanna pressed her lips into a thin line.Hades' expression darkened instantly, and he looked at Alanna. "You're going to work for Northlight Group?"Alanna met his gaze. "You know that I ne

    Alanna didn't know what to say.They arrived at Delecta Diner. Just as Alanna was about to get off, Hudson grabbed her. "Hades is right behind us. Link your arm with mine when we get down."Alanna frowned as she turned to look. Indeed, she saw Hades' car behind them.Hudson went to the passenger side and opened the door for her.He winked at her. "While I was waiting for you outside your workplace, I saw Melanie posting on social media that she'd be here tonight, too. They are probably here for a date. Surely you don't want to let them get the better of you."Alanna glanced at Hudson. She wanted to tell him it was unnecessary to put on a show. But in the end, she took a deep breath and linked arms with him.They got out and were arm in arm. Hades took it all in. His already sour expression turned frosty.Yves silently exhaled. Hudson was really bold. Yves had never seen anyone with the audacity to provoke Hades in public, but Hudson did it.Hudson and Alanna appeared to be a go

    Yves' head throbbed as he watched the scene unfold. Hudson was truly fanning the flame. What date was he talking about?Hades had been meeting Melanie a lot less recently. If it weren't for the appointment with the plastic surgeon, he might not have come. But Hudson made it seem like Hades and Melanie were actually here for a date.Yves glanced at Alanna, who was expressionless. She didn't care whether or not Hades was on a date with Melanie.Why should she be surprised? That was a common occurrence even when Alanna and Hades were still together. Now that they'd broken up, there were even fewer reasons for Hades to stay away from Melanie.Even if they were there to spend the entire night together, that was none of Alanna's concern. She turned to Hudson and replied naturally, "Let's go."Hudson smiled and waved at the other three.Hades clenched his jaws and tried his best to control his fury, which was burning brightly in him.He underestimated Alanna. He thought she was just pr

    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.
