He observed that dangerously handsome, stern face.It was quite unexpected for someone to associate him with a dog.Alanna was probably the first person who dared to call Hades with such names.Hades' face darkened, his gaze fixed on Paul."Paul, stop getting involved in useless stuff if you want to work with me. Otherwise, I can replace you immediately! Also, don't go anywhere near her. If you put her in danger, I won't spare you!"With that, Hades turned and walked out.Once outside, he still couldn't control himself and drove to Chelsey's house.Leaning back in his seat, he lit a cigarette. Just then, he saw Alanna walking out. She was still on the phone with Grayson.When she hung up the phone, she briefly paused. Then, she directly entered her car.As the car pulled out, Hades followed.After arriving at the company and parking her car, Alanna glanced at Hades. She then walked into the corridor.Hades quickly grabbed her. "Stay away from Paul. He's up to no good."Alan
Hades paused.He glanced at Renee."Who sent Ms. Jacinto the flowers?"Renee smiled at Hades."It should be one of Ms. Jacinto's admirers. They send them every day."Hades' face darkened. "Is it Tavis or Shane?"Renee shrugged. "I don't know, but Ms. Jacinto always looks happy when she receives them. Mr. Florentine, I'm sure you know Ms. Jacinto has been through a lot lately. These flowers are the only thing that can make her smile."Hades remained silent as he looked at Renee.Renee quickly chuckled. "Mr. Florentine, I'll get back to work."Hades stood frozen to the ground for a moment. He then took out his phone and made a call."Send a bouquet of lisianthus to JM Group every day from now on. Make sure they're the best."Hades didn't go to Alanna's office.He knew he wouldn't get a warm reception if he went now.So, he simply headed downstairs.Watching Hades leave, Alanna's grip on the pen tightened."Ms. Jacinto, I just heard Mr. Florentine say that he'll send you fl
Holly was determined to humiliate Alanna tonight.She wanted to sleep with Hades while the other men assaulted Alanna. The thought excited her, and she couldn't wait to act on it right away.Meanwhile, Zachary's eyes turned cold as he looked at Holly.Hades saw their expressions.He took out his phone and sent a message.Paul's phone beeped. He glanced down and said to Alanna."I have something to attend to."Alanna nodded and walked away.A few wealthy women were standing together, chatting and laughing.Joana's gaze had been following Alanna. After a while, she approached her."Ms. Jacinto."Alanna turned her head and saw the elegant woman with a smile on her face. She was wearing a white dress, which complemented her temperament.This was Alanna's second encounter with Joana.They met the last time at the Florentines' patriarch's birthday banquet. Back then, she didn't even get a chance to see Joana's face.However, given her current relationship with Hades, it seemed
Alanna paused, her face instantly darkening.Hades chuckled. "Quite the show, isn't it?"Alanna looked at him. "Did you send me the message?"Hades pinched her cheek. "You didn't know it was me, yet you still dared to come."Alanna brushed his hand away."It doesn't matter who sent it."Hades laughed. "Ally, you always know how to get under my skin."Alanna glanced at him. She was about to say something when fireworks suddenly burst outside the window.She paused and fell silent."Don't you think they're beautiful?"Alanna remained silent briefly."Yes, they are.""Are they more beautiful than the fireworks I arranged for you back then?"Alanna pursed her lips and said nothing.Hades laughed and didn't say anything more.The two stood quietly in the room, watching the magnificent fireworks outside.Listening to the inappropriate noises coming from the next room, Alanna seemed somewhat uncomfortable.It was indeed unpleasant to eavesdrop on someone being intimate.Hade
Alexander's face turned livid. "That despicable woman!""Grandpa, what should we do? I don't want to marry Zachary."Alexander's face grew grim.Many people had witnessed tonight's events. If Holly refused to marry Zachary, her reputation would be ruined.Yet, he was unwilling to let his precious granddaughter marry an illegitimate child like Zachary."Don't worry. Grandpa will get justice for you!"Alexander left in a hurry.After exiting the room, Alanna bid goodbye to Paul and left.But Hades was suddenly summoned by Alexander.Hades smiled. "Congratulations, Mr. Maxwell Senior. It seems your granddaughter's marriage is settled now. You don't need to push her onto others anymore."Alexander nearly choked on his own anger."Hades, Holly is your fiancée! She's been assaulted, and that's all you can say?"Hades' face darkened. "Mr. Maxwell Senior, have you grown a face thick enough to match your age? How can you be so shameless?"Alexander almost fainted from anger. "Hades
Hades looked at Alanna.Wearing a tight-fitting sweater that accentuated her curves, she sat in front of the desk. Pregnancy and childbirth had not changed her body. If anything, she was more alluring now.Besides, she seemed more dominant.She must have been planning to act against the Florentines for a while now.She had been waiting for the right moment.Although he had depleted much of the Florentines' resources, the intricate roots of the family and the support of the patriarch made it difficult to take down the Florentines completely.Alanna knew that a scandal involving the family head would shake the family to its core.Hades looked at the woman before him, his eyes filled with complexity.He had thought that besides cooperating with Paul, she didn't have any plans in mind during this period.He had been relieved, believing she had finally settled down.Although her closeness with Paul still bothered him, he felt he had her actions under control.Yet, just as he let
Alanna lowered her gaze and said after a while."Okay."Hades sighed. Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang.He glanced at it, and his gaze flickered slightly.It was Justin.Alanna glanced at his phone but then averted her gazeHades immediately hung up.Alanna looked at him. "Is Justin still thinking of coming back to work for you?"Hades responded with a hum but didn't say more.After a moment of silence, Alanna asked, "Hades, have you seen Justin's child?"Hades remained calm. "No, I'm not interested in other people's children."Alanna nodded.Indeed, given Hades' personality, she found it hard to imagine him having any interest in other people's children.But thinking about the tiny figure from the photos, she couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness.Other people's premature babies could survive, but her child had left them.Seeing the sorrow in Alanna's eyes, Hades sighed softly. "We'll have another child in the future."Alanna immediately
Michel looked puzzled."Why do you want to go there?""To visit a friend's child. But I heard they don't allow visits there."Michel acknowledged, "That's true. They don't allow visits. Let me check for you."After hanging up the phone, Alanna smiled bitterly.She felt like she was acting irrationally.She pinched her brow and immersed herself in work.It wasn't until after work that Michel called her back."Alanna, you can go, but whose child are you going to visit? Justin's?""Yes," Alanna answered truthfully."Justin's child has been discharged.""Already?" Alanna was surprised."Yes, the baby is doing quite well. She's been in the hospital for over a month and is developing well now. My brother also said staying at the research institute for too long isn't good for the child's growth."Although Alanna wasn't anticipating meeting the baby, she felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing Michel's response."Okay, thank you."Michel chuckled. "Alanna, how's Chelsey recently
