Alpha King Patrick's lover Gabrielle was murdered by rogues. Gloria, his mate, was his prime suspect. Gloria was desperate to explain herself, but Patrick was traumatized and locked her up. After Gloria was released, her wolf turned timid. Patrick was surprised that Gloria's affection for him was waning, though he did not reject her. At the same time, the truth was about to be revealed...
View MoreHe had just put down his phone when Stanley, standing in front of the desk, asked with a worried look, "Mr. Coburn, Miss Hammond clearly wants to get close to you under the company's name. Why did you agree to let her be your assistant?"Calvert remembered that Luana had been indifferent yesterday, but today, she was coming to host him, which was indeed suspicious.But he was more willing to believe that it was because of that photo, which made Runa mistakenly think that she and he had some kind of relationship, so she sent Luana here. That's why he just let her be an assistant, not wanting Luana to be bullied in Winward.However, Stanley wouldn't understand it. Calvert didn't explain much, just said, "I need someone."'Need someone?''Mr. Coburn brought a lot of people to Los Angeles this time.''Although he only had one assistant, Stanley could handle all the trivial matters alone.''It was obvious that he had some thoughts about that woman; otherwise, he wouldn't have saved her and
Joan stared at Luana's retreating figure, grinding her teeth in anger and cursing, "Luana, we're not done yet!"Luana pretended not to hear it and walked straight into the restroom.The humiliations she had endured in the past were all vented out today.She couldn't quite describe how she felt, but she knew she should have done this long ago.She turned on the faucet, intending to wash her face, when Sabrina walked in.Sabrina had just left to buy coffee for everyone in the CEO's office and happened to witness Joan cursing at Luana, so she hurriedly followed Luana into the restroom."Luana, are you okay?"Sabrina wasn't clear about what had happened, but seeing Luana's expression, she guessed that Joan must have said something unpleasant.She knew Luana had always been rather soft-spoken and thought that Luana might have been bullied badly by Joan just now.Luana saw Sabrina's worried face and felt much more comfortable then. Her originally irritable heart gradually calmed down."I'm
When she initially borrowed $200,000 from Winward, the penalty for breach of contract at six times the amount would be $1.2 million.She couldn't come up with such a large sum of money, so she had no choice but to compromise.Seeing that Luana had become "reasonable," Runa's demeanor became increasingly arrogant as she said, "It's simple. Just treat Mr. Coburn well, and once he returns to Washington, I'll approve your resignation."Luana could barely accept not being allowed to resign, but the idea of serving Calvert was utterly repugnant to her.She immediately objected, "Mr. Coburn may not want me to serve him."Runa's lips curled into a meaningful smile as she replied, "I've looked at that photo several times, and the way he looks at you is far from simple, so Mr. Coburn will definitely want you."Luana wanted to retort, but Runa suddenly turned stern and impatiently said, "Just do as I say."Clearly, Runa believed that Luana and C
Runa's words were quite clear. To marry into wealth, good looks alone were far from enough.One also needed a matching family background, or at the very least, a high level of education.Truly, Runa, who possessed both wisdom and beauty, could insult someone without using any dirty words, yet still precisely strike at the deepest insecurities within one's heart.Luana clenched her hands and said, "Miss Ortega, whether I have thoughts of marrying into wealth or not is completely unrelated to my application for resignation. Even if you are the CEO, you have no right to interfere in my personal affairs, do you?"Runa didn't expect Luana to indirectly mock her for being nosy, and her expression darkened.She replied, "Of course, I can't interfere. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. If you insist on giving up such a good job opportunity to pursue something that's not yours, and then regret it later, don't come back to Winward crying."Seein
It turned out that half a year ago, the Coburn family had intended to ally with the Moriarty family through marriage.The marriage candidate was Cline's cousin, who was also Gehrmann's sister, named Melissa Moriarty.Melissa was currently studying in Italy and would return to the States to get engaged with Calvert after graduation.Previously, she had deliberately blocked all news related to Calvert, so she was completely unaware of this.Now, seeing this information, she didn't feel much of an emotional stir.She and Albion could never go back to the past, and it didn't matter to her who Calvert married.Luana put down her phone, took some medication for her heart failure as usual, and then set the alarm volume to the maximum before falling into a deep sleep.The alarm rang for a long time before Luana faintly heard it and slowly regained consciousness.She reached for her phone and saw that it was nine in the morning. It wasn
Luana felt as if she had been struck by lightning, rooted to the spot in shock. Cline knew about Albion?"You've called out this name in your sleep, many, many times," he said as if he had long harbored resentment towards this name.He had investigated this person before, but it was as if Albion had been deliberately erased by some mysterious force, leaving no trace to be found, so he had stopped pursuing it.But now, he was suddenly extremely curious about who Albion was, someone she couldn't forget even in her dreams.Luana never expected that she would call out Albion's name in her sleep.Her thoughts immediately drifted back to when she first signed the lover's agreement. At that time, after their sex, Cline would still stay with her until she fell asleep.But it didn't last long. He stopped doing that.She had naively thought it was because Cline despised her.It was only now that she realized it was because she had called
His tone seemed to blame her, but his actions became increasingly distant.Luana understood in her heart that he despised her, but she didn't understand why he was acting this way.Perhaps it was the alcohol affecting his mind, causing him to act impulsively and get close to her.She couldn't figure it out and didn't want to waste her energy trying to understand, so she just replied, "Mr. Moriarty, we've broken up. Isn't it normal for me to act this way?"He blamed her, but it was he who had discarded her like a worn-out shoe. Why should he expect her to remain faithful to him?Upon hearing this, Cline's body became even more rigid, and the cold aura around him intensified. Luana felt the chill to the bone and couldn't stop shivering.She instinctively shrank back, not daring to lift her eyelids, fearing that she might provoke his anger and suffer a beating.When a man reaches the peak of disgust and disdain for you, he often shows no
Luana lowered her eyelashes, avoiding his piercing gaze, and whispered, "I did."Cline's expression momentarily froze, his almond-shaped eyes seeming to ice over, radiating a chilling coldness."Why?" he asked."Because he's handsome and wealthy, perfectly fitting my criteria for marrying into wealth," Luana replied.Cline sneered, "You used the same excuse with me before."Luana looked puzzled and asked blankly, "What?"Cline said, "I've investigated you and Travis. He never touched you. Why did you lie to me?"He had investigated her behind her back?Luana's eyes widened in disbelief.She raised her head and looked straight into his eyes, noticing a mix of complex emotions swirling in his gaze.He... seemed to be waiting for an explanation from her.But she had indeed slept with someone.Although not Calvert, she knew her body was no longer his.Continuing to entangle with him wouldn't chang
The car window slowly lowered, revealing a profile so exquisitely chiseled that it was breathtaking.When Luana recognized the owner of that profile, her heart skipped a beat.She wasn't sure if Cline had come for her, so she didn't dare to linger, reaching for the car door to quickly get inside.However, a cold male voice came from behind, "Get in the car."Luana froze on the spot.She wondered, hadn't he told her never to appear in front of him again?Why was he asking her to get in the car now?Luana looked at the man in the car, whose cold and indifferent eyes were staring at her as if he would strangle her on the spot if she didn't obey.After a brief internal struggle, Luana eventually walked towards the Ferrari.She intended to sit in the back seat, but the door was locked tight and couldn't be opened, with only the passenger door wide open.The intention was clear. He wanted her to sit in the passenger sea
"This is Black Thorn Pack's territory. Any uninvited werewolf would be considered an intruder! You should leave!" Two werewolf guards, tall and robust, said to a woman standing at the pack's border. "I'm Gloria, from the Silver Spring Pack. I need to speak to Alpha Patrick. Please let me in." The blonde woman pleaded. She looked exceptionally delicate compared with the guards. "We don't know who you are. Leave, now!" said the guards as they had a quick look at each other. "It's about Gabrielle's death. I've got something important to tell Alpha Patrick. Please, I need to see him," Gloria begged. "Shut up! You don't get to say her name!" A sullen voice cut in from behind the guards. "Beta Damon!" The guards turned to the man and bowed their heads. Damon was the Beta of the Black Thorn Pack. "Damon, please hear me out. I have nothing to do with Gabrielle's death!" Gloria explained anxiously. With a scowl, Damon glanced at her resentfully. "Seize her. The woman ...
