Chapter 603

Author: Orange Long
"Don't worry about that old man from the Florentines. He won't let Alanna off so easily. Just stay calm."

Holly still felt annoyed. But she cooled down after hearing her grandfather's words.

Before she could let the matter rest, her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Holly quickly answered it.

Early the next morning, Alanna was still asleep when Travis called.

Alanna stirred slightly, but Hades pressed her back into his embrace.

"Get some more sleep. It's still early."

Upon hearing his voice, Alanna was wide awake.

She opened her eyes to see the man lying beside her. As usual, he looked as handsome as ever. His slightly husky voice carried a hint of sexiness, and there was stubble on his chin. Somewhat mesmerized, Alanna found herself staring at him.

Hades chuckled and reached under the covers to touch her tummy.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Mommy-to-be?"

Alanna instantly snapped to her senses. Memories of last night came flood

    Hades responded with a nonchalant hum.Then, he lowered his head and kissed Alanna's ear."As long as she remains in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you need to walk on eggshells, Ally. I don't want you to be so stressed out."Alanna's eyes trembled.After a moment, she asked softly, "Why did you suddenly come over? Are you done dealing with the Florentines' affairs? Did you argue with your grandfather ... because of me?""I missed you, so I came over." Hades rested his chin on her shoulder."As for Grandpa ... it's not completely because of you. It's time for me to reclaim control of the Florentines."Alanna nodded slightly.She seemed to feel more relieved.She pushed Hades away and entered the bathroom.Hades ordered breakfast over the phone. By the time Alanna came out, he was already ready to leave.Seeing him all dressed up, Alanna couldn't help but ask."Are you leaving?"Hades approached her and pulled her into his arms. "If you can't bear to see me leave, I'll st

    Alexander scoffed. "You better stay home obediently during this time and stop causing trouble. Understand?"Holly could only agree and nod in response.After getting off the plane, Hades was greeted by Yves."Grandpa has woken up. He has been looking for you."Hades hummed expressionlessly.Yves looked at him. "What now?""Let's go to the psychologist."Yves briefly fell silent before saying, "Hades, it seems Grandpa has already contacted Uncle Simon."Hades paused for a moment before letting out a cold laugh."Let him be."Yves stared at Hades and didn't say anything else.When they arrived at the clinic, the psychologist was already prepared.Yves stayed outside while Hades went into the room alone."Should I just lie down?"The psychologist frowned. "Mr. Florentine, I hope you'll think twice about this. We ..."Hades chuckled. "Do you want me to change psychologists?"The psychologist instantly shut his mouth.Hades lay down and closed his eyes.He had never though

    Alanna sensed something off with Hades's mood over the phone.She asked softly, "Hades, is something wrong?"Hades' low chuckle came through. "Do I need a reason to miss you?"Alanna suddenly fell silent.Hades didn't say anything either. Listening to each other's breaths over the phone, the two of them remained quiet.After a while, Alanna spoke again."If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."Hades chuckled. "Ally, do you miss me?"Alanna hung up the phone without saying a word.They had just parted ways not long ago. Why would she miss him?Anyway, she sensed a bad vibe from Hades' tone just now.She wondered if she should call Yves.But she gave up after pondering for a moment.Hades didn't want to talk about it. Moreover, considering their relationship now, maybe she shouldn't probe further.Since agreeing to take over JM Group, Alanna had become even busier.In addition to her work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she spent more time developing the domestic

    "Deal! I'll send someone over to finalize the details with you."Alanna nodded with a smile. "Grayson, thank you for trusting me."Grayson chuckled. "You have no idea how much the First Lady has made things much easier for me in my business because of our collaboration."Alanna's lips twitched. She was about to say something when Justin knocked on the door and entered."Ms. Jacinto, the matter has been resolved. The person made a public apology, and the other company withdrew the lawsuit."Alanna was stunned.She quickly checked her phone.Sure enough, the person who impersonated JM Group had publicly apologized online.Even the lawsuit had been withdrawn.Not long after, the person's identity had been uncovered. It turned out to be a well-established translation company in the country. They resorted to this strategy because their market share had been significantly reduced recently.But they hadn't expected the matter to be uncovered so quickly.Apart from apologizing, they

    Hades' voice still sounded cheerful. "Alright, I know. But I just want to find out the truth. Alanna, I want to remember everything and make up for all the regrets between us."Alanna felt stifled in her heart.It took her a while before she said, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you."Hades gulped. After a moment, he whispered."Okay."Alanna didn't know if it was right to tell Hades about their childhood.But seeing him torment himself like this made her feel uneasy.Even for the sake of her child, she was willing to step back.Soon, November arrived.The weather turned cooler, and Alanna's tummy grew bigger.She wore a warm loose sweater, which looked elegant on her.While talking to the people around her, Alanna walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Just as she stepped out, someone draped a coat over her shoulders.Alanna thought it was Justin at first.But the next moment, she paused in her steps.There was a familiar scent on the coat.Turning aroun

    Hades released her with a smile. At the same time, he pressed her leg down."Were you really trying to hit me there?"Alanna glared at him and wiped her mouth in disgust.Hades then raised his hand and brushed his knuckles against her delicate cheek."Ally, thank you."Alanna paused briefly before averting her gaze from him."I'm only doing it for the baby. I don't want the father of my child to hurt himself because of some childhood memories."Hades' eyes were filled with affection."Alright, I know."He chuckled and rubbed her hand against his chin. "Even if it's for the baby, I'm grateful."Alanna withdrew her hand slightly, but Hades held them tighter.While holding her hand, he pulled out a document from the nearby compartment.Alanna was startled."What's this?"Hades' eyes were full of smiles. "Open it and take a look."After hesitating for a moment, Alanna opened it.Upon reading it, she was stunned. Hades had transferred 51% of Briliiance Jewels' shares to her

    Alanna could tell that Hades was trying hard to suppress himself before her.But that feeling still lingered in her mind.She didn't say much. She simply sat down at the table and opened up the food.Hades finished his conversation on the phone and asked."Are you planning to move?"Alanna paused briefly and responded after a while."Yes."Her work was settled in Brunstein City, and she couldn't keep staying in hotels.So, she asked Travis to help her find a house.After Alanna finished speaking, she looked at Hades.She was expecting him to say something like wanting to live with her, but to her surprise, he simply nodded."It is indeed inconvenient to live in a hotel."Alanna pursed her lip, nodded, and didn't say anything more.Hades chuckled."What? Are you disappointed I didn't say I'd go with you?"Alanna glared at him and remained silent.That night, Alanna and Hades surprisingly didn't end up arguing.They talked until late into the night, from their first enco

    Hades let out a slightly bitter laugh but didn't say anything.After parting with Chelsey, Hades lowered his gaze and said to Alanna."Ally, I won't let anything happen to you and our child."Alanna looked down and chuckled. Then, she said."Hades, sometimes promises don't make any difference."Hades chuckled. He knew what she meant.Indeed, it was his fault for not handling things properly at first.But now, even if he had to risk his life, he wouldn't let anything happen to them.Of course, he didn't voice his thoughts.Hades had arranged for Alanna to see a private doctor.After the check-up, the doctor enthusiastically pointed out. "Here is the head, and here is the baby's little buttocks. The baby looks very healthy."Alanna looked at the images on the computer screen and suddenly felt her nose tingle.This was her child, her own flesh and blood.She wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. "I'll definitely give birth to her healthy, right?"The doctor smiled. "Of co

    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.
