Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 331 - Bab 340

Did Alanna walk away from Hades? Did she seriously leave him just like that? And with Travis, to boot?In just a moment, Hades' eyes became bloodshot.Did Alanna… choose to abandon him for real this time?Once Travis entered the elevator, he released his hold on Alanna right away.This shocked her. She thought he was mad at her.Just as Alanna was about to apologize, she heard Travis' voice booming from next to her."I know that you're mad at Hades. No matter how much I wish this is true, I'm still happy even if it isn't. At least you chose me to become your human shield this time."Alanna giggled. "You're not a human shield."Her words stunned Travis once again.Alanna raised her head to look him in the eye. "I'm serious, Travis. I never joke when it comes to feelings and relationships. Although I'm not sure if we can last for a long time as a couple, I'll still do my best to nurture our relationship now that I've started it with you."Travis could only stare at Alanna in a

Hades continued texting, "If you mind Melanie that much, I'll minimize my contact with her. Alanna, let's get back together…"When he sent the last message, he realized that the message only came out as a single gray tick instead of the usual double blue ticks.That was when he realized Alanna had blocked him on WhatsApp.Enraged, Hades almost smashed his phone against the window. Instead, he tossed his phone aside before closing his eyes.He had to admit that letting Alanna go was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his lifetime. Right now, things were spiraling out of control. Chaos had started to descend the moment he agreed to let her go.He should've just chained Alanna to his side. He shouldn't have let her go no matter how much she cried, begged, or threatened to kill herself.Hades couldn't care less what Alanna's choice was or if she was willing to stay by his side. He just wanted to snatch her away and chain her to him.But his rationality told him that he couldn't

Alanna pressed her lips together tightly. She was speechless for a second. After a long while, she asked, "Oh. Is she dead?"That was a harsh question, but it was the only thing she wanted to know now.Yves shook his head. "It's a pity, but no, she isn't."Alanna laughed out loud. Then, she calmly nodded. "A pity, indeed."Yves frowned as he looked at her. "Ms. Jacinto, Hades had originally planned to ignore Melanie. But with Melanie threatening him with her life, he can't just watch her die after what they experienced in the past."Just then, Alanna understood why Hades had asked her those questions last night. Perhaps he was giving her a final chance.If she were willing to return to him, he'd keep his promise and ignore Melanie. Otherwise, he'd continue siding with Melanie, and Alanna could no longer blame him for it.Alanna smirked. Actually, Hades must've already known her answer before he even approached her. He didn't come to her for an answer; he just needed a reason to

Alanna narrowed her eyes. Edmund had been readily agreeing to her conditions, and that seemed surreal to her.But after going through all the possibilities, she couldn't understand why Edmund insisted on hiring her.She paused before going to the third condition. "I'd like to sign an earnout agreement with you.""What?" Edmund frowned.Without speaking further, Alanna showed him the agreement.After looking it through, Edmund laughed. "Are you sure? This is not an easy target to achieve. If you're in urgent need of money, you can just let me know. Both I and Hudson can lend you the money for now. I'm worried you can't achieve the target written here easily."There was a look of resilience on Alanna's dainty face. She chuckled. "I won't know if I don't try."As Edmund studied her, unreadable emotions flashed deep in his eyes.After a long while, he finally nodded. "Alright, it's a deal. I'll get someone to transfer the amount to you. The branch company is opening soon. Please se

Hades glared at Yves. "Yves Florentine, are you trying to pick a fight with me?"Seeing that he was really furious, Yves shut up. However, a short while later, he continued, "Hades, Ms. Jacinto is really nice. You know those rosary beads she gave you as a birthday present?"She went through a lot to get those for you, and it was all because she heard they worked wonders to protect the user. Do you think Melanie would do the same for you?"Hades abruptly stopped smoking. He turned to look at Yves. "What did you say?"Yves paused. Then, he repeated, "I said Melanie wouldn't have done that for you! It's clear who's nice to you, isn't it?"Hades' attention was on something else. "What rosary beads?"Yves was stunned. "Your birthday gift, of course. Didn't Ms. Jacinto give them to you?"Hades swallowed, and his brows furrowed. He suddenly remembered the rosary beads he saw when he packed Alanna's luggage a few days ago.However, he didn't pay much attention to them. He thought those
