Yves' anxious voice sounded. "Hades, Grandpa fainted."Hades' expression immediately turned sullen.He ended the call and walked toward Alanna. "Don't stay mad at me, alright? I'll continue to investigate the whole situation with Garrett. Call me if you need anything."With that said, he left without waiting for a reply from Alanna.…On the other side, Melanie watched Hades walk in Alanna's direction with hatred in her eyes.Her legs were bleeding through various cuts made by the broken vase, but she could not feel the pain.Terrence chuckled indifferently and said, "Melanie, there'll be no hope left for you if you go abroad."Michel could not help but frown. "Mr. Abbott, enough is enough. How can things like feelings be forced upon someone?"Terrence laughed and said, "How can it be considered forced? Everyone sees Melanie and Hades as a couple. Do you not know that?"Michel was exasperated as he said, "If they really were a couple, no one would have been able to separate t
Alanna stood there in a daze until she heard Chelsey call her. "What are you thinking about?"Alanna quickly shook her head and returned to her senses. "Nothing."Then, she composed herself and headed toward Tara's ward.She had panicked when she first overheard their conversation. At that moment, she even wanted to walk up to them and question Tucker.However, her rationality was telling her that she was in a hospital. It would not be a good idea to run up to them and question them directly.If she did walk up to question them and they made a scene, Tara's reputation would be sullied despite the truth about her origins.Her mother had just recovered. She wanted Tara to have a clean slate.She looked at Chelsey and asked, "Chelsy, do you know where I can get a DNA test?"Chelsey paused. "DNA test? Who wants to get one?"Alanna looked at Tara who was sleeping soundly and repeated everything she heard in a low voice.Chelsey was slightly shocked by the revelation."You're not
Alanna lowered her head and laughed. "Who knows? Maybe they just like people like Melanie."Renee's gaze flashed with emotion. "Ms. Jacinto, you'll definitely crush Melanie to bits if you debuted."Alanna laughed in exasperation. "Stop joking with me. You should confirm the program flow and guest list for the opening ceremony with the Public Relations and Marketing Department."Renee quickly nodded. After Renee left, Alanna fell into a daze.After a moment's hesitation, she took her phone and opened Twitter. She immediately saw the news of Melanie going abroad to recover on the trending page.She looked at the photos. The airport was filled with people while Melanie cried pitifully.Suddenly, Yves sent her a message. "Alanna, Melanie is gone now."Alanna looked at the message on her phone for a long time before replying, "Yes.""Hades is going abroad these two days. Alanna, Hades really wants to be with you. "He did fuck up badly in the past. But he's doing his best to make
Hades was wearing a simple suit with his shirt hem tucked into his waistband.His casual yet demanding presence made him stand out despite the occasion. Alanna's gaze paused on Hades momentarily.She was about to look away when Hades suddenly turned to look at them. Alanna did not manage to look away in time and met his gaze.She quickly looked away hastily.Hades observed her expression before amusement flooded his face subconsciously.He looked at Alanna a while longer before looking at the man beside Alanna. Although amusement still lingered on his expression, his gaze turned slightly cold.He walked toward them and said, "Congratulations, Ms. Jacinto."Alanna nodded. "Thank you."Hades chuckled and asked, "Ms. Jacinto, why did you dodge my gaze just now?"Alanna's lips twitched, but she did not answer him.Hudson stood at the side and murmured, "It's because you're ugly."Hades looked at him coldly before turning to Alanna. He lowered his voice, and said, "Alanna, I've
"Then are you going to accept the gift?"Alanna busied herself by talking to the guests. After a while, she answered, "It's up to me if I want to accept it or not."Hudson nearly stamped his feet after he understood what Alanna was implying. Soon, the music started, and Hades made his way toward them. Hudson pulled Alanna to the dance floor.Hades immediately paused as his expression turned cold. "It seems like you have a lot of love rivals, Mr. Florentine," Paul said suddenly.Then, he asked again, "Why? Did you not manage to give out your gift?"Hades looked at Paul before chuckling coldly. He did not say a word as he placed his wine glass on one of the attendant's trays. Then, he headed straight to the dance floor.Alanna and Hudson were the main hosts of today. It was logical that they would be the ones to lead the dance.Not to mention, their good looks had managed to attract almost everyone's attention.However, a more outstanding man made their way toward them.
Alanna reached the washroom and breathed a sigh of relief.She never expected Hades to pull such a stunt today.She was now placed in a difficult position. It was hard for her to accept such a gift, but she could not exactly reject the gift either. Damn it. Was that bastard trying to help her or making things difficult for her?Alanna clenched her hand tightly and forced herself to calm all her thoughts.She quietly looked at herself in the mirror. Perhaps it was due to the alcohol, but her entire face was red. Even her body felt hot.She gently patted her cheeks and calmed herself down before turning to leave the washroom.But the second she reached the door, someone covered her face from behind her. Alanna struggled momentarily before losing her senses.Once the person noticed that she had lost consciousness, they took out a hat and draped a long dress over her.Then, they opened the washroom door and carried her out. The person said, "I told you not to drink so much, yet
It was as if she could subconsciously feel the danger ahead. But it also seemed like she felt tortured by the effects of the drug.She subconsciously pressed her body against the person beside her."I-It's h-hot. I f-feel bad, H-hades."Terrence's expression immediately darkened when he heard Hades' name.After a moment, he chuckled and said, "Alanna, Hades isn't here. It's just me, Terrence, here."Then, he began to caress Alanna's face.Suddenly, Alanna began to struggle. It was as if the effect of the drug had passed as she used all her strength to open her eyes.Her eyes widened once she opened her eyes and saw Terrence's face before her. "Terrence! Fuck off!"She struggled to break free, but there was no strength left in her body. Terrence smiled wickedly. "Did you ask me to fuck off? Who would pleasure you if I were to leave? Alanna, behave and listen to me. My skills have always been on par with Hades!"Then, Terrence threw Alanna onto the bed. Alanna struggled to
Hades carried Alanna out of the room.Justin quickly followed behind. "Mr. Florentine, Mr. Abbott…"Terrence felt the wind being knocked out of him due to Hades' kick. He finally regained his senses and began to chuckle."Hades, are you really going to attack me because of a woman? Don't forget that our families go way back!"Hades' expression turned ice cold as he walked up and kicked Terrence back down. Then, he used one of his feet to step on Terrence's throat."What did you drug her with?"Terrence's eyes widened. Only then did he realize that Hades wasn't playing around. "Hades, are you really going to do this to me because of a woman?"Hades increased the pressure on his foot. Terrence felt a pang of fear."What did you drug her with?" Hades asked again with an ominous expression.Terrence's complexion had turned red as he stammered, "The name of the drug is called 'A'. I bought it on the black market. "There's no antidote or medication to relieve the pain. She could
