On that evening, Hades returned to the Florentine residence.He summoned all the elders of the Florentines to gather at the mansion."I see that some people are eager to become the family head. I called everyone here today to make it clear that I am not obsessed over the position of family head. If you wish to make a change, let's talk it out tonight."Everyone looked at each other with shocked expressions.They wondered why Hades wanted to change the family head for no reason.Hades was always assertive and domineering.But he was indeed talented in business.Since he became the family head, the Florentines had been on a steady rise. It was absurd to change the family head at this time.Just when everyone thought no one would speak, Zachary suddenly spoke up."The family head should at least consider the interests of the Florentines. Hades, what have you achieved all this while?"Hades chuckled. "Are you aiming for the position of family head?"Zachary didn't admit it.
Alanna stood by the window, her eyes empty."If you want to quit, find someone else to come. No one is forcing you."Grayson said, "Okay! Forget about everything I said. But are you sure you're doing well with your postpartum recovery?"Alanna lowered her gaze."Have you prepared what I asked?"Grayson sneered. "It has been ready for a while now. Just wait to watch the show."Alanna nodded.Travis handed a blanket to Alanna to wrap around her shoulders."Go get some rest."But Alanna simply shook her head.She then went back to work.Several days later, Alanna finished her confinement period.The accounts of the translation company that had been going against Alanna previously were exposed.Financial deficits, embezzlement, tax evasion, and issues with dual contracts came to light one after another.As the head of the company, Holly paled at the sight of the news.She approached Alexander in tears. "Grandpa, what should we do?"Alexander looked at the news exposed onlin
Of course, Alanna understood what he meant.Not only was it dangerous, but there were also many things she couldn't handle alone.She could deal with Holly, but it would be too difficult to uproot the Maxwells' foundation."I know."Jeff replied, "I'm glad you understand. My advice is, you'd better not take any risks. Anyway, what's done is done. I'll cover for you this time.""But you shouldn't get yourself involved in anything after this if you're going to do it alone. Your safety is your priority. Hades should deal with the revenge!"Alanna teared up, and she responded."I got it. Thank you, Mr. Simmons."Jeff gave her a few more reminders before hanging up the phone.Grayson frowned as he looked at the information about the Florentines."Alanna, the upcoming battle is getting harder. The Maxwells are deeply rooted. Although the Florentines have collapsed, they are still better off than ordinary people. We are no match for them, especially since I don't know how Hades set
Alanna only snapped to her senses when the car stopped at the venue's entrance.Stepping out and looking at the familiar scenery before her, she suddenly remembered the time she was scratched on the arm by Melanie's fans here.She sighed faintly.Then, she linked arms with Grayson and entered the venue.As soon as they entered, they attracted everybody's attention.Her gorgeous face drew everyone's gaze no matter where she went.Smiling, Grayson walked beside Alanna."It surely feels nice to walk beside a beautiful woman."However, Alanna's attention was drawn to the man standing in the center of the venue, who was surrounded by a huge crowd.Although Aashika Group had just been established, Hades' influence was no less than when he was in the Florentines.Knowing he had volunteered to leave the Florentines, the younger generation admired him even more.Hades had become the center of attention in the event.But tonight, there was another woman by his side.Alanna glanced a
Hades looked at the woman before him.He wanted to reject Alanna, yet he couldn't bring himself to say the words on the tip of his tongue.It had been a month since they last met, and he missed her terribly.He knew she must have something to tell him.Otherwise, she would never initiate a conversation with him again.In fact, he knew exactly what she wanted to say to him.But he didn't know how to face her in this situation.He longed for her to come closer to him.Yet, at the same time, he feared hurting her by letting her get too close."How have you been this past month?"Feeling a wave of bitterness wash over him, Hades asked.How could she have been doing well in this thin and haggard state?Hades felt a strong pang of heartache. He wanted to run up to her, hug her now, and tell her their daughter was fine.But he could only endure it."Not too bad," Alanna replied softly.Hades smiled and nodded. "You've lost a lot of weight."Alanna didn't respond. She simply st
Alanna clearly hated Hades when she left.But now, she turned back to him to seek revenge for their child.Hades felt a sharp pain in his heart but didn't compromise."Ally, you don't have to avenge our child. You just need to take care of yourself."Alanna's eyes were filled with bitterness."I'm doing fine.""Really?" Hades frowned at her.Alanna averted her gaze. "Hades, I know you have strength and connections. But that's my child. I want to avenge my child with my own hands!"Hades looked at the woman before him and said after a long while."Ally, I will seek revenge. I will avenge our child myself, not only for our child but also for your mother."Alanna fell silent. After a moment, she smiled."Hades, I chose to cooperate with you first because you are the father of my child. At least, our goals are aligned. But you are not my only choice.""Whether it's the Florentines or the Maxwells, we have many enemies. If you're not willing to help me, I will work with someone
Shane thought he looked familiar.Alanna followed his gaze, glanced over, and coincidentally met Hades' eyes.She withdrew her gaze and looked at Shane."Shall we go in and talk?"Shane stared at Alanna.He didn't know what happened to Alanna and Hades recently. He only saw Hades' confession online about falling in love with her at first sight.But now, it seemed that things weren't so good between them."Are you sure everything's okay? You and him ..."Alanna smiled. "Don't worry about him."With that, she went into the restaurant first.Hades stood at the entrance of Aashika Group and watched as Alanna and Shane entered the restaurant. His face fell.He never expected Alanna to approach Shane.Besides, it seemed she had intentionally dressed up.He turned to his assistant."Is Shane married?"His assistant was puzzled. "What?"Hades put his hand in his pocket and said after a while, "Go check if Shane, the co-founder of Lawson and Sullivan Law Firm, is married."Hade
Hades was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.But he could only blame himself for not being able to control his emotions.He knew Alanna purposely asked Shane to meet her near Aashika Group.Yet, he still couldn't resist it.Hades still remembered how this woman used to spend her days and nights translating for Shane.Hence, he came looking for her.Obviously, she was waiting for him to come."Do you like working with Shane so much?""Hades, I need to find someone to cooperate with, and I have to seek revenge. If you're not willing to help me, we'll go our separate ways. Otherwise, let's work together to seek revenge for our child."Alanna said, her eyes reddening."I just want to seek revenge for my child. So, think twice before coming to me."With that, she pushed open the car door and got out.Hades frowned as he watched her leave. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Alanna always seemed to find a way to leave him at a loss.After returning hom
