She would use other methods to get her revenge on Melanie.Alanna laughed and said, "It's alright, Yves. It's impossible for me and Hades to get back together again."As soon as Alanna finished her sentence, a figure appeared beside her.She frowned and looked up to see Hades in a suit.His gaze was impassive as there was an indiscernible emotion in his eyes."Hades! Why are you here?" Yves' eyes immediately brightened.Alanna turned to look at Yves before lowering her gaze.Yves was a bad actor. Even an idiot could tell that the meal had been a trap."I was passing by on my way home from work. I happened to see Yves here and came in to greet him. You don't mind, do you, Ms. Jacinto?" Hades asked as his gaze fell on Alanna.He had not seen her in a few days and had missed her terribly.She had been avoiding him for the past few days. She stopped attending the company's morning meetings and started to send her assistant in her stead.Back then, she would always personally bri
Alanna paused and thought she had misheard Henry.Henry repeated himself. "Ms. Jacinto, there is a small problem with the contract regarding one of your projects. You'll need to go on a business trip."Alanna was speechless. After a long time, she asked, "Is it necessary for me to go?""The other party insisted on talking to the person in charge."Alanna was silent for a moment before she agreed to it. At the end of the day, she had not officially resigned from the company yet."I will need my assistant to go with me."Henry was silent for a moment before he said, "Alright. Ms. Jacinto, I'll inform your assistant and have her wait for you at the airport tomorrow."…The next day, Alanna packed her things and headed to the airport. When she reached the airport, she received a call from Hudson. "Ms. Jacinto, today is a weekend. You should have time now, am I right?"Alanna pursed her lips and chuckled. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hudson. The company asked me to go on a business trip, so I
Hades looked at her and said, "Do you not even want to sit beside me now that you have Hudson?"Alanna did not answer him. She just massaged her temples exhaustedly."Did you not have a good rest last night?" Hades asked again.Alanna ignored him and closed her eyes after taking her seat. She did indeed not have a good rest last night. The problem with the contract was slightly tricky. So, Alanna had spent all night preparing materials and information.Not long after the plane took off, Alanna fell asleep as she had been busy for the past few days, and her body had not fully recovered.Hades' gaze fell on Alanna's face. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. After a long time, he reached out and moved her head to his shoulder.When Alanna woke up, the plane had already landed. It took her some time to come to her senses and realize that her head had been resting on Hades' shoulder.There was also a suit jacket covering her. It was the suit she had bought for Hades.A
Alanna's complexion paled after hearing the receptionist's words. She turned around and began heading out."I'll go and take a look at some other hotels."Hades narrowed his eyes and held her hand."Let go of me!"Something dangerous flashed across Hades' eyes as he said, "Are you that unwilling to share a room with me?"Alanna's expression turned foul. "Hades, do you think it's suitable for us to share a room considering our relationship now?"Hades scoffed. "I don't mind.""But I do!"Alanna broke free from his grasp and headed out. However, Hades grabbed onto her again and pulled her into the elevator.Alanna pursed her lips tightly and did not struggle as other people were present in the elevator.Every nerve inside of her was refusing to continue being with Hades.However, Hades was just unwilling to let her go.The second they got out of the elevator, Hades dragged her into their hotel room. They went in, and Hades immediately pressed her up against the door.His sce
Yves was speechless by Hades' questions. He also knew that there was no point in accusing Melanie without any concrete evidence."But shouldn't you at least question her about it?""What am I supposed to ask her? Am I supposed to ask if she helped plan that kidnapping? Or should I ask if she purposefully ruined her face to lure me away?"Yves did not know how to answer Hades. Even if Hades were to ask Melanie such questions, he probably wouldn't be able to receive a satisfactory answer."Continue to investigate Melvin. Just pretend you don't know about that for now," Hades said before ending the call.…After Alanna left Hades' hotel room, she left the hotel entirely. She called a cab and went to the nearest hotel.However, all the hotels were fully booked. Perhaps it was just as the receptionist had said; all the hotels were full due to the international fair. All the hotels she went to had told her the same thing.She stood by the roadside with a sullen expression. Her phon
At the end of the day, he had been careless. His original plan was to take Alanna away from Jagersville. That way, she would not have the opportunity to reach out to Hudson.But he never thought that there was still Travis to be wary of.Hades' expression darkened as he parked and got out of the car.He had not walked toward them when their laughter reached him first. His expression darkened further.Hades stood before them with a gloomy expression. Alanna's smile immediately tensed when she saw Hades. "Travis, let's go."Travis did not say anything when he saw Hades. Instead, he turned to Alanna and nodded."Where are you going?" Hades asked with a frown.Alanna remained silent as she walked up and opened Travis' car door.Hades walked over and closed Travis' car door with a gloomy expression. "Alanna, can't you hear me talking to you? I'm asking you where you're going!"Alanna's expression turned solemn. "Hades, don't you think you should mind your own business? You're onl
But now, Hades had insulted him because of her.Travis smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for. In truth, he didn't say anything wrong. I do want you for myself."Alanna pursed her lips and chuckled bitterly. She was unworthy of Travis. She was unworthy in all aspects.Travis could tell that Alanna had not moved on from her past relationship. He wasn't in a hurry. Travis had already waited for three years. He did not mind waiting for a few more.He asked gently, "Have you had dinner?"Alanna shook her head. It was already ten by the time they finished the meeting with their business partners, the Granite Group. She had planned to return to the hotel and order some room service. She never thought things would end up this way."Why don't I take you to eat some good food? Do you have anything in mind?"Alanna smiled. "Anything is fine. Or I can just make some instant noodles later."Travis glanced at her. "Is that what you normally do?"Alanna answered, "Sometimes."
Alanna was unprepared for the slap, and her cheek turned red. She cradled her cheek and looked at Yvette, who stood beside a hotel attendant."You bitch! Was seducing Hades not enough for you? You had to try and seduce Hudson too. Are you that desperate?" Yvette said as she raised her hand again.But before she could slap Alanna, Alanna raised her hand and slapped Yvette instead.The loud slap echoed throughout the corridors. Alanna had not held back one bit.The hotel attendant was shocked by the turn of events. She stood there and looked at Alanna in shock. "Miss, do you need us to call the police?"Alanna pursed her lips tightly and glanced at Yvette's cheek. Then, she turned to the attendant and said, "I'll have to trouble you with that. Could you also call security while you're at it? Thank you."The attendant quickly nodded.Yvette was still in a state of shock after being slapped by Alanna. She had not expected Alanna to hit her back.She immediately screamed, "Alanna, t
