Chapter 342

Author: Orange Long
Hudson frowned at his father. "Why are you stopping me from trying to court her?"

Edmund's eyes flickered, and he walked toward his office. "You won't succeed, anyway, so stop wasting your efforts. If you're so eager, you might as well go home and meet the woman your mother set you up for a date with."

"Dad, that wasn't what you said when you told me to come to Jagersville." Suddenly, Hudson paused. He continued, "Tell me the truth, Dad. You can't be interested in Alanna, can you? Why else will you insist on her working under us? You're even more eager than I am."

Edmund glared at him. He barked, "Get lost!"

After leaving Northlight Group, Alanna hailed a cab to the hospital.

Before she could enter the hospital, someone suddenly held a pointed object against her waist. She was stunned to feel the sharp pain coming from the back of her waist.

Then came the odor of alcohol, followed by Garrett's menacing cackle. "Try to scream, and I'll send you off to hell!"

Alanna stiffened.

    Blood was all over Alanna's shirt. As Hades held her, he saw the wound on her neck, and he glowered. Looking up, he fixed his gaze on Garrett, who was running toward them. If only looks could kill!Garrett shuddered when he initially saw Hades. But then, he remembered that Hades had broken up with Alanna. "Mr. Florentine, you two have already broken up. You won't meddle in her affairs, will you?"Hades said nothing, and that gave Garrett more confidence. Seeing that, Alanna grew anxious. She pushed Hades aside as she tried to leave.Hades sensed her rejection, and his expression darkened further. Reaching out, he pulled her back to him.Right after that, he lashed out with his leg at Garrett's chest, and Garrett's shriek reverberated throughout the alleyway. After vomiting a mouthful of blood, he fainted on the spot.Alanna turned around and glanced at Garrett. Her face was ashen. Seeing that he was out cold, she sighed in relief. Then, she covered the wound on her neck with her h

    Hades stared after her, and a dull ache radiated throughout his chest.He wanted to grab her and ask whether or not she harbored romantic feelings toward Travis when she didn't feel that way toward Hades.But he decided against it. If he asked her about that, he'd only put himself in an awkward position.He went over to her and kneeled with his back to her. "I won't carry you, but piggybacking shouldn't be a problem, right? With your speed, you'll run out of blood by the time you reach the hospital."Alanna frowned. She had indeed felt that she had lost too much blood. Her body felt cold, and her head was spinning. Although Garrett didn't cut her artery, the blood didn't seem to stop flowing.Frowning, she insisted, "I can go there on my own."After leaving the alleyway, the hospital would only be a stone's throw away.However, Hades piggybacked her regardless of her opinion. "Alanna," he said. "Now's not the time to be dramatic."Alanna froze when he carried her up. She felt s

    When Yves called, Hades' expression turned gloomy all of a sudden."I'll send someone to search for him immediately. He can't have gone far," said Yves.Hades' eyes flickered, and he replied, "First, find a place and lock him up. Don't let Alanna know. If she asks, just tell her he was gone when you arrived."Yves thought he had misheard him. "What? Why, Hades?""Don't bother asking why. Just do as I say," Hades replied nonchalantly.He didn't explain himself and ended the call just like that. Hades never agreed to a deal that put him at a disadvantage.Alanna could meet Garrett if she wanted to but for a price. For example, she should unblock his number or break up with Travis. At the very least, Alanna should be the one to come to him for a favor.As Hades was deep in thought, Alanna's phone rang. He took it out and glanced at it. Instantly, his eyes turned cold. The name "Travis" flashed on the screen, and it was an eyesore to him.Without even thinking, he rejected the call

    Travis looked at her. "Did something happen? Or did you face a problem while trying to resign?"There was a pause before Alanna answered honestly, "I had to pay Hades 50 million dollars as a penalty to terminate our agreement. I had no other choice but to sign an agreement with Edmund."Travis scowled. "Why didn't you tell me about this? Ally, do you really see me as your boyfriend?"Alanna's expression was taut. She took some time before saying, "Travis, I can handle this on my own."They had just started dating, and there was no way Alanna could ask Travis for money. Besides, she didn't want to rely on men again for matters that she could solve through some effort.Asking others for money would make her inferior to them. In this relationship, she wanted to be treated as an equal.Travis frowned at her. He never knew what she was like when she was with Hades, but he noticed that she would look to Hades for help whenever something happened. But with him, she behaved the total opp

    Alanna frowned and glared at Hades. "Hades, just spit it out or scram!"Hades narrowed his eyes. "You're chasing me out?"Pursing her lips, Alanna ignored him and looked at Travis. "I'm hungry."Travis immediately poured out a bowl of chicken soup from the thermos flask. "Chelsey cooked this for you. You should have some first. I'll get you some food later."Alanna nodded. She initially wanted to drink it on her own. Although she was injured, she wasn't going to overreact and get someone else to feed her.But Travis insisted, and she gave in. While in this relationship, she wanted to try her best to give him a sense of security.As Hades watched Alanna drink the soup Travis fed her, spoon after spoon, his expression grew increasingly grumpy.Suddenly, he felt like an annoying third wheel. He should be the one feeding Alanna the soup, but now, another man had taken his place.He glared at the lovebirds moodily. In the end, he couldn't hold himself back any longer and said, "Alan

    Hades' expression was dark. He was the one who had saved Alanna last night, yet she only had eyes for Travis.Hades was evidently furious, but Alanna couldn't be bothered at all. She wasn't in the mood to entertain him. All she wanted to know now was who the mastermind behind Garrett's actions was.Previously, she had her suspicions. Now, she knew she was on the right track after Garrett's sudden death.The timing was too convenient to be a coincidence. No matter how Alanna looked at it, it seemed as if someone was trying to silence Garrett.Alanna lowered her eyes. Suddenly, she asked, "Hades, how has Melanie been doing?"Hades was stunned. Almost immediately, he narrowed his eyes. "Why are you suddenly asking about her?"Alanna merely stared at him without saying anything.Having been together for such a long time, Hades knew her quite well. After a pause, he asked again, "Are you suspecting that she's behind this?"Alanna averted her gaze. She didn't admit that, but she didn

    Alanna looked at Hades suspiciously. She had a feeling that that jerk was lying through his teeth. Just as she was about to reply to him, she saw someone approaching from behind Hades.Disgust filled her eyes. After wringing her hand free from Hades' grasp, she turned to leave. "I'll head over to the police station on my own for that."Hades glowered as he stood rooted to the spot. Instead of following Travis and Alanna, he just stared after them as they left."Mr. Florentine…" Esther looked at him tentatively. "Mr. Florentine, Melanie's refusing to take her medications again. Please check on her."Hades turned and glanced at her. Without a word, he turned and headed toward Melanie's ward.As Esther watched him from behind, a smile flickered on her lips. Then, she caught up with him."Was that Ms. Jacinto?" she asked. "She's really pretty."Hades paused and looked at her. That look sent shivers down Esther's spine. He didn't bother concealing the frost in his eyes.Esther casua

    Alanna didn't hide the disgust she felt toward Hades.Hades didn't mind it at all and walked toward her. "Garrett's autopsy report is out."Alanna halted in her tracks. "So what is it? Was it an accident, or was he murdered?""He was murdered. Suffocated. And the time of his death coincided with the time we left the alleyway."Alanna felt goosebumps all over. She never expected that, as the victim, she would now become the suspect."What about the CCTVs nearby?" Travis couldn't resist asking.Hades met his gaze. "Do I look stupid to you, Mr. Silva? I checked all of them when I discovered Garrett was dead. During that period, Alanna and I were the only ones walking out of the alleyway."Alanna looked grim. Who was behind all this? What was that person trying to do? Was this directed solely at her, or was Hades one of the targets, too?Her mind was muddled. Initially, she suspected Melanie was behind this. But now, she was unsure of that theory. Could it really be Melanie? If it

    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. But the speed
