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
Michel's face immediately fell when he heard that.He pushed the door open and walked straight into the room.When Anton saw Michel, he was first stunned. Then, he smiled."Mr. Luther, what brings you here today?"Michel chuckled. "I just happened to run into you. Heard you were here, so I came."Anton maintained a smile on his face."It's my pleasure. Care for a drink?"Michel directly picked up a glass from the table.But before he could drink it, someone nearby suddenly shouted."Hey, Mr. Luther, that drink isn't for you."Michel paused and let out a chuckle."Oh? Is this a special drink?"The person laughed. "It's prepared for the lady who came along with Dr. Presley today."A cold gaze flashed across Michel's eyes.He picked up the glass and suddenly splashed the alcohol onto Anton's face."Sorry, I slipped."Chatting with a girl beside him, Anton was suddenly splashed in the face by Michel.His expression instantly darkened.Perhaps due to his respect for the Lu
"Michel, try hitting him again, and I'll cripple you!"Michel froze on the spot.Anton took advantage of this moment to punch Michel twice in the face.Michel's already bruised face instantly turned a shade darker.He glanced at Chelsey, then raised his hand and hit Anton again.Chelsey was so angry that she hit his chest."Are you out of your mind? Why are you hitting Mr. Presley?"Michel sneered. "Why did I hit him? Because he deserves it!"Standing aside, Anton tidied up his clothes."Dr. Soltz, I will never dare to go on a date with you again in the future."With that, he stood up and walked out.Not long after, Michel suddenly kicked him again."If you dare to provoke Chelsey again, I'll kill you!"Chelsey pulled him over. "Michel, that's enough!"Michel looked at Chelsey, his anger rising."Is that scumbag even worth your attention?"He then walked out.Chelsey was furious. She walked up to Anton, wanting to apologize to him. But Michel suddenly returned and drag
Chelsey lightly scolded Michel. "I can't believe your brother is a pharmaceutical genius. You don't even know the basics. Michel, hemorrhoid creams are the best for reducing swelling and bruises.""Nonsense! I'm not using it!" Michel refused adamantly to apply that on his face. "Are you trying to seek revenge? Chelsey, I got injured tonight because of you.""You were the one who flipped out for no reason. Don't blame me." Chelsey felt somewhat uncomfortable when saying this.In fact, she knew that Anton probably wasn't serious about the date when she arrived at the club and saw him with so many people today. But she was unwilling to admit it.Later on, Michel told her about the spiked drink.She still didn't want to admit it. Yet, she couldn't help but wonder if she had really misjudged Anton.Chelsey's eyes turned dim. "How did you know I was there?"Michel raised an eyebrow. "Alanna called me and asked me to pick you up. It proves that I'm still trustworthy in Alanna's heart."
