Semua Bab She's Moved on With Someone New: Bab 71 - Bab 80

When Alanna got to the hotel, she found a transaction notification on her phone for 500 thousand dollars. After reading the message, she skimmed through the trending topics once more. As expected, the headlines were changed. News about Melanie being Hades' first love had replaced the previous topic regarding the mysterious man she met at the hotel. The netizens online went hysterical at the sudden revelation, posting their best wishes and envious messages in the comment section under the post. There were even speculations about whether the two had reconciled. Alanna's hand stiffened and the grip on her phone tightened inexplicably. After a while, she chuckled. It was probably the best outcome she could ask for. This was the outcome that Melanie desired anyway. She wanted Hades to disclose their relationship publicly. On the other hand, Alanna's only reason for staying by Hades' side was because of money. So, he used money to smooth things over with her. Indeed, his actions we

Alanna's heart ached as she read the humiliating words. She really wanted to return the money to Hades. She wished that she could give him money instead and slap him in the face with a few hundred dollar bills.Nonetheless, she didn't have the guts to do so. Alanna stared at the message. After a minute, she sent a reply to Hades, "Thank you, Mr. Florentine." Being melodramatic was useless, especially in front of a man like Hades who didn't love her. It would only be a futile attempt. After she sent the message, the bedroom door opened in just a moment. Hades stood at the bedroom door with a hint of mockery on his face. He laughed coldly and spoke, "What are you thanking me for?" Alanna met his gaze. "I'm thanking you for both your money and hard work." Hades leaned against the door frame with a taunting look in his eyes. "Ms. Jacinto, your insight is quite extraordinary." With that, Hades turned around and walked out. He remarked casually, "Get up and have something to e

Alanna agreed with Hades absentmindedly. It was fortunate that he didn't pursue that topic further. Once she was done getting ready, Hades took her out immediately. Alanna initially thought that it was just a normal banquet. However, it turned out to be a grand charity gala. The entire street in front of the venue had been closed off. A long line of luxury cars drove up along the street. Alanna had a look of surprise on her face as she walked beside Hades. He couldn't help but smile when he noticed her expression. "What's wrong, Ms. Jacinto? Haven't you been to an upscale event like this before?" Alanna remained silent. Indeed, she had never been to such a grand banquet. With her family background, it was impossible for her to attend exclusive events like this one. Even though she had accompanied Hades to numerous high-profile gatherings before, the gala tonight was considered the most lavish. If it weren't for Hades, Alanna would never have had the chance to attend such a pres

Alanna couldn't put a finger on what she was feeling at that moment. She had initially thought that the childhood memories they shared were somewhat special to Hades. As it turned out, they were not. Inwardly, Hades only considered Melanie as the light of his life. At this moment, Alanna felt she was nothing but a joke. The past memories which she treasured and held dear were not reciprocated. "The auction is about to begin. Let's go back," Yves said as she stood beside her. Alanna snapped back to reality and replied, "Alright." She followed Yves back into the hall. Upon entering, a waiter stopped her. "Ms. Jacinto, Mr. Florentine asked you to join him." Alanna glanced at Yves. "I'm going over to Hades." Yves agreed, "Okay." Alanna was led to where Hades was sitting. He was seated in the front row with Melanie beside him. When Melanie caught sight of Alanna, she gave her a faint smile. "Ms. Jacinto, you're here too?" Alanna nodded in acknowledgment, but she did not init

Yves couldn't deny it. Indeed, Melanie had no reason to do such a thing. At first glance, the relationship between Hades and Alanna wouldn't affect Melanie at all. "Could it really be an attack initiated by her fans? As Ms. Jacinto said, not many people around you two know about your relationship. How could the fans know?" Yves couldn't quite comprehend the situation. Hades frowned as he looked at the rain outside the window. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Keep an eye on the police investigation. Inform me immediately of any results. Also, control the public opinion of the netizens online. I don't want any more harmful rumors circulating." Yves agreed, "Alright, I get it." When Hades returned to the car, Alanna was already sitting inside with her eyes closed. "Does it hurt?" Hades asked. Alanna opened her eyes and looked out the window. "What do you think, Mr. Florentine?" A cold look appeared on Hades' face. "Alanna, am I the one who hurt you?" Alanna remained
