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

    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

    "Someone's pregnant on this floor!""How did you know?""I saw the pregnancy test in the toilet!"Alanna Jacinto had just stepped into the office building when she heard these words. She stopped in her tracks and lifted her eyes to look at the two interns who had been talking just now.As soon as the interns saw her looking at them, their expressions immediately dropped as they dipped their heads and resumed their work.Alanna then recollected herself and entered her office.Her phone wouldn't stop ringing with notifications. She tapped on the notification bar and realized that someone had spread the news into their office group chat.If there was one thing this office didn't lack, it was the sheer volume of gossip every day.Alanna stared as more and more people joined in the discussion in the group chat. She could hear her head throbbing.She'd been too careless. She should have wrapped the test in paper towels before throwing it away in the trash.If Hades Florentine learn

    Alanna's back went stiff when she heard that. She turned around and asked as naturally as she could, "If I were to answer 'yes,' what would you do?"Hades' eyes turned dim, and his stare turned icy cold. It was a vast difference from how hot and passionate he'd been just less than 30 minutes ago."What else would I do? Schedule an abortion for you at once."Alanna's face slowly turned pale. She clasped her hands tightly as Hades stared at her with an increasingly chilling look."Alanna. Don't forget the rules of our game."Alanna stiffened at once.That was right. Everything between them was just a game to him.After all, she was a nobody and didn't deserve to be with him. She was born in a regular household, while Hades was the first son of the eldest son in the Florentine family. He was the true heir to all of his family's wealth and social status.Her relationship with him started as a mere coincidence.Three years ago, her mother, Tara Thornton, had been involved in an a

    There was sexual tension in the air. The D-lister kept on leaning excessively toward Hades.Alanna spared Hades a glance before shifting her gaze elsewhere. Meanwhile, when Hades saw Alanna entering the room, his brows only lifted very slightly. But he didn't move otherwise.On the other hand, it was his younger brother, Yves Florentine, whose eyes lit up as soon as he saw Alanna.He turned around to eye Hades for a bit. Then, he looked at Alanna with a smirk on his face."Ms. Jacinto, here for a drink?""I couldn't say no to Mr. Abbott's invitation."Alanna didn't force her way to the center of the room where everyone else was. Instead, she chose a quieter corner and sat down."Why are you sitting so far away? Come sit closer to us," Yves said, already prepared for some drama.Even if nobody else knew about Hades' relationship with Alanna, Yves did. That D-lister next to Hades never piqued Hades' attention from the start. But as soon as Alanna appeared, the celebrity was as

    Alanna froze.She understood what Hades was implying.If she were to nod, he wouldn't stop her from leaving.In other words, Hades couldn't care less whether she stayed with him or not.Alanna was never interested in Terrence from the start. Had she been asked this question in the past, she would have rejected the offer immediately.However, that day, she suddenly felt rebellious. She didn't want to keep living like this.She stroked her belly subconsciously. Alanna didn't want to use the baby as an excuse to force Hades into taking responsibility for her. After all, it was nothing but a game between two adults. There was no responsibility involved in the first place.Furthermore, she couldn't force someone like Hades to stay with her. And it wasn't like she was dying to bear his child. But if he wanted her to abort this baby, then what about the next one?Hades had never had unprotected sex with her. He was very particular about it because he didn't want her to be pregnant wit

    The D-lister was so shocked that she immediately backed away. "Don't be angry, Mr. Florentine. I'll get out of your hair now."The celebrity left, along with the other women in the room. Only Hades and his friends were left.Yves suddenly regretted letting his joke get out of hand. But it wasn't like he'd never cracked such jokes in the past. It was just that Alanna used to behave like a scared little lamb. She would have never dared to say what she just said, let alone leave them hanging like this.That day, however … "Hades, should we ask Ms. Jacinto to come back and explain that it was just a joke? Ms. Jacinto is a very capable worker. She probably didn't mean to leave. Maybe she's just tired, and that's why she's a little grumpy today."Hades' cold smile returned. He said, "I don't need her to be a manager at my company. Mr. Abbott can have her if he wants to."Terrence just chuckled sheepishly. He suddenly didn't know how to respond to Hades' words.If he still couldn't te

    Chelsey felt a little better after she cursed the hell out of Hades. Then, she came back to the main topic."So, I'm guessing you don't want this baby. Do you want me to arrange for a procedure after your checkup tomorrow?"Alanna rubbed her belly and suppressed the pain in her heart. "Okay," she said, a single tear sliding down her face.She felt guilty about the baby. But she had nothing to her name, which meant she also had nothing to give to her baby. She couldn't keep him. She didn't dare to.She was just a regular girl from a regular family. She didn't want her baby to be called a bastard child for the rest of its life.There was also no way that Hades would ever acknowledge it. He wouldn't give her a chance to tie him down, whether with sex, love, a family, or a baby.Hades would never allow it.Alanna closed her eyes and wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes.…It was in the dark of the night, and Alanna couldn't sleep well at all.She suddenly found hersel

    Alanna wanted to hide herself away.However, Hades had already opened the car door and was now walking toward her.Hades' footsteps were quick and hasty. Anyone could tell he was not happy just from the sound of his footsteps."Are you done with your temper tantrum?"Hades asked Alanna as soon as he stopped before her. His face was still stoic and expressionless as he stared down at her."I'm not throwing a temper tantrum," Alanna replied without looking at him.Hades' eyes were dark and dangerous. "So, Ms. Jacinto is really looking forward to leaving me for Terrence Abbott now, is that it? Since when did this start?"Alanna pressed her lips together. "You misunderstood us. I'm the one who wants to leave. This has nothing to do with anyone else.""Give me a reason."Alanna finally lifted her head and looked into her eyes. "I want to get married soon, Mr. Florentine."Hades narrowed his eyes. "Are you serious?""Yes," Alanna replied. "I'm serious. I'm already 27 years old, af

    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.
