Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 431 - Bab 440

It was almost noon when Alanna and Paul finished a round of golf. Paul invited Alanna for lunch.He remained a gentleman throughout the meal. He did not force her to drink nor did he drink too much himself. He was thoroughly courteous, and both enjoyed the meal.When they finished their meal, Paul asked, "Have you made up your mind about that plot of land?"Alanna's mind was in a jumble. After a brief pause, she replied, "Mr. Quigley, this is not a decision I can make alone. Maybe we can talk about this again sometime later?"Smiling, Paul responded, "Sure. I look forward to hearing from you."Alanna nodded.After leaving the restaurant, Alanna hopped into her car. She was still in a daze.Before this, she didn't ask about the details regarding the incident with Blake. At that time, the relationship between her and Hades was already tense. He never told her about what he'd done.In fact, she had heard from Yves that Hades had tortured the hell out of Blake. Alanna couldn't de

However, Justin stepped in between Hudson and the car door before Hudson could get in."Mr. Campbell," said Justin. "You'll tarnish Ms. Jacinto's reputation if you get into her car like this."Hudson exclaimed in discontent and went to the other side. Swiftly, Justin climbed over and blocked the door again.Alanna watched them in frustration. She headed out and hailed a taxi instead.After watching Alanna leave, Hudson blew his top and almost lashed out at Justin in a fury. "Justin Charnas, you're truly loyal to Hades, like a dog!"Justin met his gaze. "While you're behaving like a lapdog, Mr. Campbell."With that, he sped off before Hudson lost his temper.Hudson took out his phone and called Hades. "Hades Florentine, I dare you to compete for Alanna's hand in all fairness. How can you send Justin to her side?"Hades said somewhat lazily, "Hudson, why can't I send Justin over when you're lingering around her every day?"Hudson smirked. "You have a filthy mind!""Back at you,

Alanna cast him a glare. After getting up, she walked off.Hades' gaze followed her. Then, he entered the kitchen and took out a thermos container.When Alanna came downstairs, Hades came out of the kitchen as well."Here, take this." As he spoke, he handed the thermos container to Alanna.Before she could reject, he continued, "I asked Margaret to prepare some mild soup for your mother. Take it to the hospital, and share it with her."He stuffed the container into her hands.When Alanna returned to her car, she fell into a trance as she stared at the thermos container.Beside her, Justin noticed her expression and couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Jacinto, has there been a misunderstanding between you and Mr. Florentine?"Alanna regained her senses. She avoided his inquiring gaze and answered, "No.""If that's true, why won't you both make peace with each other when you clearly have mutual feelings?"Alanna merely smiled. "Let's go to the hospital."Seeing that she wasn't keen on

"Just let it out if you want to. Don't hold back," Hades said.Alanna stiffened when he hugged her. She called out in a hoarse voice, "Hades!"But Hades hugged her even tighter while saying nothing. All he did was hold her close to him.Alanna didn't struggle, and neither did she cry out loud. Still, her tears soaked through Hades' shirt.Hades felt his heart breaking into pieces and held her even tighter.Alanna quickly calmed down and wiped her tears. Then, she looked at Hades.Trying to sound calm, she asked, "Hades, have you investigated the sender of this particular amount?"Hades stroked her red-rimmed eyes. "I have. I not only investigated that transaction but also all the other unusual ones. I did it when you told me you suspected Garrett was instructed by someone else to threaten you."However, the other party was a money-lending company. Throughout the years, those working with that company had either died or gone missing."Alanna's fingers clenched. "So we're at a d

Yves' anxious voice sounded. "Hades, Grandpa fainted."Hades' expression immediately turned sullen.He ended the call and walked toward Alanna. "Don't stay mad at me, alright? I'll continue to investigate the whole situation with Garrett. Call me if you need anything."With that said, he left without waiting for a reply from Alanna.…On the other side, Melanie watched Hades walk in Alanna's direction with hatred in her eyes.Her legs were bleeding through various cuts made by the broken vase, but she could not feel the pain.Terrence chuckled indifferently and said, "Melanie, there'll be no hope left for you if you go abroad."Michel could not help but frown. "Mr. Abbott, enough is enough. How can things like feelings be forced upon someone?"Terrence laughed and said, "How can it be considered forced? Everyone sees Melanie and Hades as a couple. Do you not know that?"Michel was exasperated as he said, "If they really were a couple, no one would have been able to separate t
