Chapter 397

Author: Orange Long
Alanna was so familiar with the newcomer's words that she knew who he was straight away without turning to look at him.

Her first instinct was to struggle out of Hades' grasp, yet he drew her back into his embrace once again.

"Hades Florentine?"

Alanna stopped struggling when she heard Elizabeth's voice.

"I didn't expect someone as prestigious as you to be able to recognize me, Mrs. Silva," Hades said mockingly.

Of course, Elizabeth was frustrated to hear the mockery in Hades' tone. Everyone in the upper echelons knew who he was, after all.

What did he mean by that? Was he secretly mocking her for not being blue-blooded enough to know who he was?

It was true that the Silvas had always kept a low profile among their wealthy peers. Their reputation paled in comparison to the Florentines'.

Still, the Silva family was still an elite family at the end of the day. In other words, Elizabeth still viewed herself as superior to Hades because of her seniority in the upper echelons.

    The moment Elizabeth finished speaking, Hades retorted with a sneer, "Kindly get things straight, Mrs. Silva, and see who's badgering who. Travis is the one who keeps running over to Jagersville, even during the holidays. How can you claim that it's Alanna who's badgering him?"If you don't want Travis to be with Alanna, then keep him in check! That's the best thing you can do! I'd be eternally grateful to you if you could get Travis to leave Alanna alone!"Elizabeth was speechless. "Why, you—""Mom!"Travis cut Elizabeth off before she could say anything else. He had rushed over just in time to hear what Hades said, and his expression turned stormy.He had only been gone for a short while. Why had Elizabeth approached Alanna?"What are you doing here, Mom?" Travis asked.Elizabeth was unusually gentle when she spoke to Travis. "I'm not doing anything, Travis. I spotted Ms. Jacinto, so I just wanted to greet her."Nevertheless, Travis knew what Elizabeth was truly like. Lately,

    Alanna acted like she didn't hear Hades' question. Why was he trying to make a comparison? It was so childish of him.Moreover, Travis had never done anything to hurt her. Meanwhile, Hades was the one who initiated both the start and the end of their relationship, which hurt her.Hades had more to say, but just then, a car pulled up.As soon as Hector stepped out of the car, his eyes fell on Alanna."Mr. Archdale," Alanna greeted.Hector nodded in response before saying, "I heard what happened just now. You can't get along with everyone. Since things didn't work out despite your attempts to get along with Elizabeth, just leave it be and forget about her. Don't be concerned about it."Alanna was startled. She didn't expect Hector to console her. Smiling, she said, "Thanks for saying that, Mr. Archdale. I understand."After a pause, she continued, "However, considering my past, I don't know…"Hector laughed and assured her, "Mr. Florentine has explained everything to us. Don't wo

    "Ally, you know what it's like to be in love with someone. You should understand that sometimes, you can't stop loving someone just because you want to," Travis said.Feeling caught, Alanna said, "Travis, you should give your love to someone even better."Travis looked her in the eye and said, "I've already met the best woman in the world."Alanna didn't know what to say.Hades, who was standing on the side, snorted and called out, "Why are you so determined to keep pestering her, Travis?"Travis eyed Hades and retorted, "Why don't you take a look at yourself before you make comments about other people?"His remark silenced Hades, whose expression turned grim at once.Travis turned back to Alanna and said, "Happy holidays, Ally."Once he finished speaking, he turned on his heel and walked off.Alanna frowned as she watched him leave.Hades walked up to her with a sour expression and said, "Why are you staring at him? Is his figure better than mine?""When did you become so s

    Stunned, Hades soon felt a wave of pain striking his heart. He could barely breathe from the sudden pain.It was true that Alanna had given him multiple chances in the past. The times she had probed him and gauged his reactions were the opportunities she had given him.But with every probe came disappointment that kept stacking up.Bitterness surged into Hades' heart at that moment. He suddenly remembered the things Alanna had said to him back in Brunstein City.They could've restarted their relationship as long as Hades could ignore Melanie's plight forever. But in the end, he was the one forcing Alanna to drop the charges on Melanie with a contract in hand.Hades pinched the spot between his brows forcefully."So, this means all my efforts are useless no matter what I do, right?"Alanna gazed at him. Pinpricks of pain attacked her heart."Not everything can be given a second chance in life."Once upon a time, Alanna, in her lovesick stupor, had given everything she had to Ha

    Alanna was enraged, to say the least.Hades got in the driver's seat. He chuckled coldly while fastening his seatbelt."So, you see me as the kind of man who's only interested in sex, huh?"Alanna fell silent at the question."Aren't you?" she shot back a moment later.Hades just harrumphed in response. "Well, I do have sex on my mind, but I'm no bastard. I'm not interested in forcing myself on you. That is… unless you're willing to go with the flow."Once again, Alanna found herself speechless.Soon, Hades' car reached Alanna's hotel foyer. Just as she was about to get out of the car, she felt Hades grabbing her hand all of a sudden."Ally, I haven't reserved any rooms of my own."Alanna was momentarily surprised at his words. "Do you need me to reserve a room for you? There should still be vacant rooms in this hotel."Hades decided to go down the shameless route. "Can you take me in for the night?"That earned a cold chuckle from Alanna. "Just how shameless are you, Hades?

  • She's Moved on With Someone New   Chapter 403

    Alanna clenched her fists in response. A surge of mixed feelings flooded her heart immediately.Hades dragged her into the hotel without waiting for her response. He kept walking until he stopped outside a particular room.Alanna was flabbergasted, to say the least. It was then that she finally realized that the room she had booked at the front desk happened to be her own room.She turned around to glare at Hades. "Did you bribe the hotel receptionist?"Hades chuckled before tapping his keycard against the electronic panel of the door. Then, he dragged her into the room.Furious, Alanna shrieked, "Get out!"But Hades' shamelessness kicked in once again. "Ally, you were the one who told me to sleep in this room…"Alanna responded by snatching a pillow and throwing it at him.Hades laughed as he caught the pillow. He then approached Alanna before asking, "What if I tell you I'm taking the couch?"Alanna just glared at him. "It's fine. I'll book myself another room."Hades quick

    Travis was also astonished to see Hades in Alanna's room."What are you doing in Ally's room?" he questioned.Hades' expression darkened as well.Why was Travis looking for Alana at such a late hour? What was he up to?"Shouldn't I be asking you that question, Mr. Silva? What are you doing here at such a late hour?""I'm here to apologize to Ally."Hades chuckled coldly at Travis' words. "You're here just to apologize to her?""Why else would I be here? What do you think I'm here for, Mr. Florentine?""Who knows? It's pretty late now, you know. For all we know, you could be harboring ulterior motives.""You're the one to talk!"When Alanna heard Travis and Hades' conversation, she began walking toward the doorway hurriedly. Before she could reach her destination, she saw them starting a brawl on the spot.Hades spotted Alanna heading toward him. He could have avoided Travis' punch, but he stopped moving all of a sudden.Alanna shrieked. She was shocked by the turn of events

    Hades was shocked to see Alanna's tear."What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"His first instinct was to wipe the teardrop away.Having regained her senses, Alanna dodged his hand instinctively. Then, she gazed downward while wiping the teardrop away."It's late. You should go back to your room."After setting her laptop aside, Alanna got up and headed toward the bathroom. Her eyes were slightly red even after she washed her face.At least, the feeling of being on the brink of death that had plagued her in her dream had already vanished the moment she woke up.Alanna looked down at the crescent marks her nails had left on her palms. She took a deep breath a moment later before exiting the bathroom.Truth be told, this occurrence had grown to become a norm in her life ever since Alanna fell off the cliff.The helpless feeling of her near-death experience seemed to have transformed into a nightmare that she could never shake off no matter what.Alanna had been suffering from

    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.
