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
Alanna stood at the entrance of the research institute for a long time before deciding to go in.Justin had been her bodyguard for quite some time. Since she knew Justin's child was here, she couldn't simply turn a blind eye.She thought she should pay his child a visit.However, as soon as she entered, she was stopped by the security guard."We don't allow visitors here."Alanna pursed her lips and said, "Sorry."Then, she turned and left.Snow began to fall from the sky at some point.Alanna sat in her car for a while before snapping back to reality.Hades rushed over as soon as he received Justin's call.Seeing Alanna sitting in the car lost in thought, he felt stifled.There was already a thin layer of snow on the road.Alanna drove cautiously. Her brows furrowed as she thought about Justin's panicked expression.It wasn't until she stopped at a traffic light that she let out a faint sigh.Just as she started moving again, her phone rang.It was Hades.She hesitated
Alanna looked at Hades with a pale face. After a moment, she rested her forehead against his shoulder. She felt somewhat relieved."Thank you."She murmured.Hades frowned as he looked at her. He wanted to say, "Why are you thanking me?" But instead, he simply said."You're welcome."Soon, the police arrived.Alanna got into Hades' car and headed to the police station to give her statement.Sitting in the police station, Alanna held a cup of hot water in her hands. Her face was still pale."Are you afraid?"Heartbroken, Hades asked.Alanna's lips turned white. "I'm just afraid that I won't have a chance to get revenge before I'm killed."Hades felt a pang in his heart."Ally, you ..."Alanna remained silent and stared at the police before her.After the police finished taking their statements, they explained to the two."The two cars seemed to have planned to target this lady."Alanna lowered her eyes.Meanwhile, Hades' gaze darkened."Someone must have hired them to
Alanna remained silent and gazed out the window.Hades drove her back home.Just as he parked his car, his phone suddenly rangAlanna glanced down at it.To her surprise, it was from Justin.Alanna stared at him.Hades casually hung up the phone."Didn't you already fire Justin?" Alanna suddenly asked.Hades nodded. "But he's been wanting to come back. He said he has a child to take care of, and he's having a hard time."Alanna tightly pursed her lips and said after a while."I saw Justin today."Hades looked at her somewhat surprised."Where?"Alanna didn't answer. She simply turned to look at Hades. "Hades, where did you see me earlier?"She remembered receiving Hades' call shortly after leaving the research institute.Hades avoided her gaze."I went to see a psychiatrist today. I've been ... feeling a bit off lately."Alanna was taken aback. After a moment, she nodded.She didn't probe any further and simply got out of the car.Hades watched her retreating figur
Upon hearing what Hades said, Yves was at a loss for words.Alanna would surely rage if she found out about this.He couldn't even imagine how Alanna would deal with Hades once she knew the truth! He sighed softly and decided to change the subject."Although the Maxwells failed this time, I'm sure they won't stop just like that."Hades squinted his eyes. "Then let's make sure they dare not act again."Holly had been extremely unhappy these past few days.Especially today, she was furious when she heard that Alanna had only suffered minor injuries.She wondered why Hades would appear every time that woman was in danger. Why didn't Hades treat her the same way?Holly went to the bar with a few friends.When she came out of the bar, it was snowing heavily outside.She stumbled to her car and threw the keys to the valet.The valet's eyes flickered as he took the keys and opened the car door for her.Holly entered the car and leaned back in her seat."Head to Nashville Villa.
"Hades Florentine! Are you really going to fall out with us?"Hades' gaze darkened. "I thought we already had."Alexander snorted. "Hades, aren't you afraid I'll really kill Alanna?""Then you should be prepared for me to kill Holly as well.""You …""You've seen it yourself. I'll double the injuries Alanna suffered on Holly. So, Mr. Maxwell Senior, think twice before you act!"Hades hung up the phone without waiting for Alexander to respond.He then pushed open the door to his office.Paul was sitting on the sofa."What would you like to drink? I'll have my secretary bring it in."Paul chuckled."I'll pass on the drink. I came to see you for something today."Hades raised an eyebrow. "Go ahead."Without wasting any time, Paul placed a proposal before Hades."This is what your wife sent me early this morning."Surprised, Hades quickly picked it up and read it.It was a plan regarding the Maxwells' takeover in Olkfield."Holly's father had full control over the market i
Paul came down from Aashika Group and entered a Land Rover parked on the roadside.Sitting in the driver's seat, Alanna frowned and stared at Paul."How did it go?"Paul's complex gaze fell on her."Didn't you already foresee this?"Alanna smiled bitterly. "Yes, I did."But she still wanted to give it a try.After all, Hades was the father of her child.If he had to cooperate with someone to seek revenge for her child, she'd rather it be Hades.But now ..."Keep the proposal."Paul chuckled. "Hades promised to give me all the remaining territories of the Florentines. What about you, Ms. Jacinto?"Alanna lowered her eyes and coldly smiled."Not only the Florentines, but the Maxwells will be yours, too."Paul laughed."Deal!"With that, he reached into his pocket to end the ongoing call.On the other end, Hades' eyebrows twitched.Paul quickly received a message on his phone."I can promise to give you the Maxwells too."Paul replied. "It's too late. I keep my promise
As soon as his words fell, his phone suddenly rang.Alexander furrowed his brows slightly before answering the call."What is it?"Hades' voice came from the other end. "Mr. Maxwell Senior, shall we meet?"…When Alanna returned home, she heard Chelsey on a phone call.Her voice was unexpectedly gentle.Alanna paused briefly and smiled.She thought Chelsey was probably talking to Anton.She glanced at Chelsey and turned back to her room.Grayson was very efficient. There was already news on the Harrington's energy website that the oil fields in the northeast of Lutherynd urgently needed development. Now, they were just waiting for the Maxwells to take the bait.She sighed softly.This was just the first step.Whether it was the Maxwells or the Florentines, she would make them pay!Chelsey hung up and excitedly ran up to Alanna before hugging her."Ally! Dr. Presley agreed to go on a date with me!"Alanna was surprised. "Really? When?"Chelsey blinked. "Tonight."Alann
