Chapter 358

Author: Orange Long
Hades remained expressionless, but Alanna somehow felt that he was waiting for her to praise him. She pressed her lips together and averted her gaze.

It was already dark by the time they left the police station. Alanna was about to leave when Hades suddenly stopped her.

This time, he didn't touch her. Still, Alanna looked displeased. "What now?"

Hades' eyes flickered as he said, "You said you wanted to ask Garrett something. What was it?"

Alanna frowned at him. After a pause, she told him her assumptions. After all, Hades was involved in this case because of her.

"You suspect that someone was trying to silence him?"

Alanna nodded.

Hades narrowed his eyes. "Do you have a suspect in mind?"

Alanna merely glanced at him without answering.

Still, Hades understood immediately. Instinctively, he had wanted to say Melanie wouldn't have done it because he had been keeping an eye on her all this while. However, he refrained from saying so.

Smirking, Alanna opened the car door and was a

    Alanna stared intently at Hades for a long time. Then, with all the force she could muster, she wrestled her leg free from beneath his and lashed out at his private part.Hades scowled instantly and grabbed her leg. "Are you crazy, Alanna?"Alanna gave him a hard shove. She scolded, "You're the one who's crazy, Hades. You're a lunatic!"With that, she turned and got into the car. Without hesitation, she started the engine and sped off.Hades watched as she fled, and a cold glint crossed his eyes. How dare Alanna try to kick him there! She was just… ruthless!He got into his car and went after Alanna at a steady pace.As Alanna drove, she tried to regulate her emotions. However, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.Although she wasn't planning on getting too intimate with Travis for now, there would come the day when they'd eventually do it if things were going well for them.If Hades did what he threatened to do… Alanna couldn't help but knead her temple.

    Alanna smiled and nodded.Amelia beamed. "Your mother would be delighted to hear that."Hades smirked. "Don't have your hopes up, though. They might break up someday soon.""Hades Florentine!" Alanna barked. Then she smiled at Amelia. "Ignore him, Mrs. Lane. He has a screw loose."Hades scowled but said nothing else.Amelia frowned and eyed Hades suspiciously. Then, she thought of something else and asked, "Oh, right. How's your mother?"Alanna wistfully chuckled. "Same old."Amelia sighed. "She'll get better." Frowning, she continued with a disapproving look on her face, "But your father…"Alanna's brows creased. She quickly asked, "Mrs. Lane, who did Garre… my father usually hang out with?"Amelia curled her lips. "Unsavory women of course. He'd take them home and fool around with them until the middle of the night. I don't even let my grandson stay over at my place."Alanna's frown remained. "Did he ever talk to people who seemed noteworthy?"Amelia shook her head. "None

    Hades had his hand on the photo before Alanna could react. Instinctively, she tried to snatch the photo back, but he dodged her."Give it back!" she demanded.Hades laughed. "Hm? Is this something that I can't see?" As he spoke, his gaze fell on the photo.Alanna begged Tara to take that photo for her right before Hades left. But after she took the photo, Hades had already left before she could give it to him. When they met each other again, he no longer recognized her.Alanna's heart was filled with bitterness. Now that she thought about it, perhaps Hades and she weren't destined to be together.Reaching out, she tried to take the photo back, but Hades dodged her again. He frowned as he studied it.It was a photo of a girl standing in the middle of a field of flowers. It wasn't very clear, but he still noticed that the girl resembled Alanna. She was beaming radiantly, and her eyes twinkled.For some reason, Hades thought she seemed familiar but couldn't put a finger on it.He

    As the holidays drew nearer, Travis was suddenly up to his neck with work. Foreign guests visited from various countries, and he was too busy dealing with them.Alanna was busy too.Northlight Group had just been established in Jagersville, and she had to attend to various matters personally.In these few days, they could only talk to each other over the phone at night.On this day, Alanna received a call just as she got off work. She thought it was from a client, but to her surprise, it was a woman she didn't know."Are you free, Ms. Jacinto? Let's have a talk."Alanna was stunned. Before she could respond, she heard the woman laugh. "Oh, right. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Travis' aunt."Alanna was silent for a moment. Then, she agreed. "Sure. Where should we meet?"That woman, Gwyneth Jenkins, named a place, and Alanna headed over immediately.Gwyneth reserved the entire cafe.Just as Alanna arrived at the entrance, a man in a black suit stopped her. "Ms. Jacinto, ple

    Gwyneth didn't seem to feel guilty at all. "I just want to see what kind of person Travis has been having a crush on for so many years. You surprised me, Ms. Jacinto. If I hadn't gotten someone to follow you, I wouldn't have known all this."You're seeing Travis, yet you also seem close to another man. Do you know what that makes you? A loose woman, that's what. People like you will sooner or later be a disgrace to Travis!"Smirking, she continued, "You know, Travis has never blundered at work. But because of you, he missed out on an important meeting recently."You're really something, Ms. Jacinto. You've been with Hades for three years, yet you still manage to get Travis to fall head over heels for you. However, someone as loose as you doesn't belong in our family!"Alanna looked extremely displeased. She knew the Silva family would disapprove of her, but she never thought they would get someone to stalk her.She stared gloomily at Gwyneth. After a long while, she said, "You don

    In a rage, Gwyneth picked it up. "Jeff, come over here right now. Someone's bullying me!"Jeff said something, and Gwyneth paled. "Jeff, I'm your aunt!"Jeff must have said something nasty as she hung up on him in fury.Glaring at Alanna, she hissed, "Just you wait, Travis will certainly break up with you!"Then, she picked up her bag and headed out.Alanna said nothing ever since Hades entered. She couldn't discern what she was feeling right now. She wasn't sure if she was feeling ashamed or embarrassed.Gwyneth's humiliating words shook her to her senses. She had been naive; things were more complicated than she thought they were."Sad?" Hades asked. It sounded like he was gloating. "Alanna, can you bear with Travis' family? They look down on you even before you're married to him. They'd only make things more difficult for you after. Can you really put up with it?"Alanna met his gaze. "Feeling pleased now aren't you, Hades?"Hades chuckled. "Oh, no. I told you from the star

    Hades was sincere about that, but Alanna thought he was ridiculous.Protect her? He once said the same thing, but look at how things had turned out."Hades, just stop bothering me, okay?"Hades froze. He gazed at Alanna with a bitter look. "You think all this happened because of me?"Alanna resented him, indeed. She admitted Travis' family was a hurdle she couldn't get past. Even if this hadn't happened today, she'd have to face it sooner or later.But if Hades hadn't been bothering her, she wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation because of those photos.Her eyes were red as she looked at him. "Well, it happened because of those photos!"Hades was miffed. "Alanna, don't you understand? Your relationship with Travis will never make it."Alanna refused to bring the conversation any further. Glaring at him, she growled, "Are you getting out or not? No? Then I'll get out!"With that, she attempted to get out of the car.Hades grabbed her. "Where are you going?""I'm getting a

    Chelsey gazed at Alanna while feeling sorry for her.Why was Alanna's love life such a bumpy one?"What are you going to do?" she asked.Alanna chuckled. "Travis told me to wait for him."Chelsey frowned. "Can this even be sorted out, though?"To her, it seemed hard enough. It would be a different story if Travis were from an ordinary family. However, that wasn't the case."I don't know."Chelsey hugged her. "Alright, let's stop thinking about it. Let's have a drink, shall we?"At that, she brought out a bottle of red wine. "I sneaked this out of my dad's wine cabinet."Smiling, Alanna nodded. "Thanks, Chelsey."Chelsey shot her a glare. "Stop being so polite!"She pushed a glass over to Alanna and clinked hers against Alanna's. "Let's prioritize ourselves more from now on, Alanna."Alanna had calmed down, but she felt a surge of emotions at that very moment.Feeling the urge to cry, she took some time before nodding with a smile. "Yeah, let's do that."The holidays were

    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.
