Chapter 408

Author: Orange Long
Hades went silent for a few moments. "If I were to cut down on my shamelessness, you'd be dancing the night away with Travis by now, wouldn't you?"

Alanna pursed her lips. "I'm free to dance with whoever I want."

She tried to leave right after she was done saying her piece. However, Hades refused to release his grip around her waist.

"Ally, you can't dance with him."

A trace of emotions lurked within Hades' eyes. "Can you please not dance with him?"

Alanna's lips were pressed into a thin line. In the end, she said again, "I'll dance with whoever I want."

She left Hades' side after that.

Hades' expression was extremely stormy as he watched her leave.

Soon, Alanna returned to Travis' side. She said apologetically, "Sorry about that."

Travis looked a little helpless. In the end, he could only sigh in response.

As the rising star of the ministry, Alanna had to deal with numerous guests who kept toasting to her achievements. She'd take small sips out of her glass during every toas

    Only when Hades heard Alanna's shriek did he feel pinpricks of pain coming from his arm. He grabbed the man's wrist before disarming him effectively."How dare you touch her?" Hades' gaze grew icy.The man was already as white as a sheet. "Hades Florentine, do you know who the fuck I am?"Hades chuckled coldly before plunging the blade into the same palm that the man had grabbed Alanna with. The man's blood-curdling scream echoed throughout the washroom in the next second. Even those outside the washroom could hear the scream clearly. It gave them a fright.On the other hand, Yvette was so frightened that her complexion became pallid.After tossing the man aside, Hades turned to glare at Yvette. "I remember warning you back then."Yvette forced out in a quivering tone, "Mr. Florentine, do you even have any idea what Melanie's like now? She's on the brink of going insane! Even so, she kept saying that you'd protect her! "Mr. Florentine, what on earth did Melanie do to you? How

    Winston heaved a sigh of relief upon finding out that Alanna was unscathed. Soon, his anger was reignited."This is ridiculous! How dare they do such a thing here!"Jeff said soothingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Jyles. I won't let the culprits get away with this."After that, he turned to look at Hector. Clearly, he wanted Hector to give his two cents on this incident.Hector's expression was equally stormy. "It's true that we can't let the culprits get away with this. Jeff, you can just take them away."Only then did Jeff nod.After that, Hector summoned a doctor to the lounge. There, the doctor treated Hades' wound for him. He left after telling him what to do and what not to do.Hector wore a grim expression at that moment. Alanna's incident as well as Hades' injury should never have happened in the presence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.If word were to get out, the ministry's reputation wouldn't be the only thing at stake.After passing down his orders to his subordinates,

    Hades felt slightly uneasy upon hearing the question."Am I the type who can't even differentiate between good and bad in your eyes, Alanna?"Alanna just chuckled in response. She wanted nothing more than to retort, "Aren't you?"However, she opted to not say anything in the end. There was no point in saying such things, after all.Hades stood up and stalked toward Alanna. Soon, he stood in front of her."Don't worry. If Melanie really is the one behind this incident, I won't take her side."Alanna didn't say anything after that. But she didn't place much faith in Hades' words.She had heard too many of his empty promises in the past. All she got in return was disappointment that continued to accumulate over the years.At the same time, Alanna didn't want to lash out at Hades because of what Melanie had done to her. He wasn't obligated to help her out, what was with their awkward relationship and all.Besides, the fact that he saved her from Yvette and Mitch still stood."Let

    Alanna knew what Jeff was planning to ask. She pressed her lips together before interrupting him, "I just didn't want to… owe him anything."The more she owed, the more she felt that it was difficult to clear all her debts in one go. If she couldn't clear her debts, she might choose to tolerate Hades' actions and allow him to do whatever he wanted.She didn't want nor wish to compromise on her decision to stay away from Hades because of her debts.Jeff chuckled in response. "Alright, then. Call me if you need a caretaker.""Okay."Meanwhile, Hades happened to overhear Alanna's phone conversation with Jeff. His expression slowly darkened.It turned out that Alanna didn't want to owe him any favors.Hades chuckled coldly before taking off his jacket and walking over to the window with his phone in hand."Post some men at Melanie's psychiatric hospital. I want them to monitor her all the time."Yves was stunned to hear the order. "Did something happen, Hades?"Hades hummed in re

    Alanna didn't answer Hades' question. She just yanked her wrist out of his grip."Take the meds. I've already unblocked your number. Call me if anything happens."But Hades grabbed her wrist once again. Before he could say anything, he could hear his phone ringing.He pulled it out to see a phone call from a number labeled "Melanie's nurse" on the caller ID.Both of them froze simultaneously.Alanna was the first one to break the silence by laughing sarcastically. She freed her wrist from Hades' grip once again before heading toward the door.Hades killed the call instantly and rushed over to pull Alanna back."Answer me!"Alanna didn't say a word. Hades' phone began ringing again at that moment.She glanced at the phone. "You should answer the call."Hades was silent momentarily. "It's fine. No matter what, I'll make sure to give you a satisfactory outcome by dealing with tonight's incident properly."Alanna didn't say anything afterward. She never placed her hopes in Hades

    Alanna immediately understood what Jeff meant. Yvette would be the one taking sole responsibility for the incident.She nodded once again. "Thank you."Jeff flashed her a smile. "Well, it's good that you're doing fine. Sleep early."He left after a few minutes.Alanna thought it'd be another sleepless night for her. Surprisingly enough, she ended up falling asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.The next morning, Winston called her on the phone."Alanna, the ministry has come up with a solution for your incident. The perpetrator will be dismissed from his position permanently, and he won't be hired by any other governmental departments. We'll also publish it in the newspapers."However, we could only claim that the perpetrator was fired because of his bad conduct. I hope you can understand this."Alanna giggled. "I get it, Mr. Jyles."Winston continued, "Also, Mr. Archdale has pulled a few strings. That perpetrator won't be able to remain in Brunstein City in the future."

    Alanna made eye contact with Hades briefly before heading back into the ward.Hades quickly grabbed her hand."Ally, Melanie is—""Is she dead?"Hades was astonished at first. Then, his expression gradually darkened. "I'll send her abroad once she's recovered from her injury."Alanna nodded. "You won't hear any objections from me even if you personally deliver her to another planet. After all, this is between you and her."Hades' heart throbbed at her words. "Ally, are you going to strike me out of your life because of this incident?"Alanna was silent for a moment. "Hades, I told you before that I'll always be grateful to you no matter what."Hades was still waiting for Alanna to continue speaking, but it seemed that she was done.What did she mean by that? Was she only grateful to him now?Hades grew anxious at that thought. "Ally, I don't have anything going on with Melanie. It's just that I… I can't bear to see her die.""That's why you should stay by her side, Hades."

    Alanna smiled as she took Tara's hand. "Be patient, Mom. You'll be able to speak properly once you start the rehabilitation process."But Tara pointed at the door with great difficulty. She was hinting to Alanna that someone was outside the door.Alanna could feel her nose starting to burn from the emotions once again. She moved to huddle close to Tara.At the same time, she fixed her gaze on the door while looking a little dazed.Alanna knew that Hades never left. But what good would that do to either of them?As long as Melanie was in trouble, things between Alanna and Hades would forever remain stiff.Chelsey rushed toward the ward a short while later. She was surprised to see Hades standing outside the ward.She knew about Hades being the one who had Melanie admitted into the psychiatric hospital, so she decided to be nice to him for once."Hello, Mr. Florentine."Hades nodded wordlessly.Chelsey frowned. She wanted to ask why he didn't enter the ward, but she held her to

    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.
