Derrick didn't intend to admire the moonlight with Gloria. Looking at her hair that had been ruffled by the wind, he reached out to fix her hair.
During this period, Derrick often hugged Gloria's shoulders and caressed her hair. She no longer resisted his actions. Derrick looked at Gloria and said, "Good night, Gloria." Gloria also said good night to him. Then she turned around and walked into the dormitory. Derrick watched as Gloria went upstairs. He was not in a hurry to leave. He lit a cigarette and looked up at the floor where Gloria's room was located. The lights in the living room were on. Derrick extinguished the cigarette. He walked to his car and glanced in Patrick's direction. Then Derrick opened the door and got in. He started the engine and drove away slowly. When Derrick's car passed Patrick's, Derrick didn't stop. Leonard saw this through the window and asked, "Alpha Patrick, what should we do?" Patrick orPatrick revealed a smile, but there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. He said, "Why are you so sure? What if Gloria is not what you think she is?" "Then I will still choose her." Derrick was unmoved. Patrick mocked and said, "You're really in love with her. Are you trying to tell me that your feelings toward Gloria won't change? No matter what happens, you will never give up on that woman?" Patrick continued, "That's good. I don't want to ruin it for you, but I will watch you. I want to see how much you love her." Derrick replied, "Let's wait and see." "Leonard, let's go," Patrick ordered coldly. The rear window of his car slowly went up, and the black car drew a graceful arc in front of Derrick before leaving. Inside the black car, Christine held her breath. She was afraid that she would enrage Patrick. Patrick leaned against the back of the seat, his hands on his thighs clenched. His eyes were cold. "This is
Gloria looked at Patrick coldly. "So, Mr. Hammond, you want to sleep with me too?" Patrick was so angry that he laughed. "Sure, you don't have to go back today. I will be your customer today." A hand reached up to Patrick. He looked at Gloria's hand and asked, "What do you mean?" Gloria said confidently, "Money. Though you are the boss of the Fittro Club, you still need to pay." Patrick's eyes were filled with shock. He then looked at her palm in front of him. He couldn't describe the feeling. A strange pain filled his heart. When he first bumped into her, he was full of anger, but he didn't know why he was angry or how to vent it. Yet at this moment, the woman made him feel depressed. The way he looked at her changed as he said, "Miss Carter, I don't know when you have become so tactful. What happened? Mike doesn't want you anymore? And you've hooked up with Blood Moon Pack's Alpha?" Gloria stared at Patrick. She was puzzled.
Unlike Gloria, who was filled with worry during the movie, Derrick was very cheerful. He held Gloria's hand and headed to the parking lot. Derrick opened the door to the driver's side after Gloria sat in the passenger seat. "Wait a minute," Gloria suddenly said. Derrick tilted his head and asked with a puzzled face, "Do you want to go shopping?" Derrick immediately thought about whether she wanted to buy something. The more considerate he was, the more unhappy Gloria felt. Derrick urged her again, "What do you want? It's the weekend. We have plenty of time." "No," She gritted her teeth and said with a determined look, "Mr. Fisher, we're..." She was about to say something when Derrick suddenly frowned. He said to Gloria, "Wait a minute. Someone mind links me." Then, Derrick picked up the mind link request. A familiar and old voice sounded in his mind. "Derrick, return to the wolf pack now." Derrick replied with dissatis
"If I had known that you would disregard the safety of Blood Moon Pack for a woman, I would never let you be the Alpha of our pack. You are just as disappointing as your brother!" Curtis said fiercely. Derrick raised his head. He glared fiercely at the angry Curtis. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Curtis with a ferocious and terrifying gaze. "Curtis, my brother has passed away!" Not many people knew that Derrick had a brother, and the death of Derrick's brother was a pain that he could not get rid of. He glared at Curtis, and there was a trace of hidden hatred in his eyes. The housekeeper hurriedly pulled Curtis and said, "Mr. Fisher, please calm down." Curtis was also shocked by the terrible look in Derrick's eyes. The room fell into silence. After a long time, Curtis released his hand. His cane dropped on the marble floor tiles, and he fell onto the sofa behind him. In an instant, Curtis seemed to have aged ten years. A tra
The smile on Derrick's face froze. He was reluctant to yield. He said, "Mr. Hammond, you kept emphasizing that you don't want some things any longer. But why do I feel that you are just jealous because you never really owned those things?" Patrick's eyes turned cold. He looked at Derrick's face and said, "It's none of your business, Mr. Fisher. You'd better care more about yourself." After he said that, he walked past Derrick and left. The atmosphere between the two men was tense, but they kept their voices low, so other people could not hear what they were talking about. They only saw two equally outstanding men talking to each other. Patrick walked past Derrick and walked in. Only he knew how angry he was at the moment. Would he fall in love with Gloria? And would he be jealous of Gloria and Derrick? Patrick thought, 'Even an ordinary man wouldn't fall for Gloria, not to mention an outstanding man like me.' Patrick shouted in his h
"I might be busy these days, Gloria. Take care of yourself. Don't get hurt," said Derrick, looking at Gloria. His concern and the genuine look in his eyes made Gloria touched. She had the urge to tell him the truth. "Mr. Fisher, my full name is Gloria Carter." She took a deep breath. Then she said, intending to tell him all, "I used to..." "Miss Carter, of course, I know what your name is," Derrick smiled and kissed her lips. He continued, "In my eyes, you will always be Gloria. I like you no matter what you've done in the past." Gloria didn't expect Derrick to say that. She gawked at him and said, "Mr. Fisher, why?" "Don't think too much." Derrick opened the door. "Go back. I will come back to you after I'm done with my business." As Gloria's figure disappeared, Derrick started the car and returned to the Blood Moon Pack. These days, Derrick had been dealing with matters in the Fisher Group. He tried his best to solve the pr
As soon as Gloria finished speaking, Derrick opened the door. He smiled and said, "Gloria, let me introduce you to my friends. We grew up together. They are the Alpha and the Beta of the Sea Moon Pack, Mike and Lucas." The door was completely pushed open, and everyone looked at each other in shock. Gloria looked at the two people in the room, and her face turned pale. "So, it's Miss Carter," Lucas greeted them in a meaningful tone, breaking the silence. "Gloria?" Mike said. Derrick was surprised that Lucas and Mike knew Gloria. Then he looked at Lucas, since he found Lucas was acting strangely. He said, "Stop staring at my girlfriend like that." Derrick didn't like the way Lucas stared at Gloria. He also disliked the tone Lucas used to address her as Miss Carter. Lucas glanced at Derrick out of the corner of his eye, and then he looked at Gloria. After that, he said indifferently, "Take it easy. She is not my type."
Lucas was surprised. He thought, 'Seriously? Does she admit it just like that? I feel so bad for Derrick!' Lucas was furious. He said, "Don't get carried away. I will make sure he knows what kind of woman you are. You are like cancer. I will not allow you to stay around my friend and hurt him!" Then Lucas loosened his grip. Gloria and Lucas returned to the room one after the other. The look in Derrick's eyes changed. As soon as Lucas sat down, he looked up and met Derrick's deep eyes. "You don't smell of smoke." Derrick looked coldly at Lucas, who was opposite him. Derrick thought, 'Lucas claimed that he was going out for a smoke, but he doesn't smell of smoke at all. Also, he comes back right after Gloria. And I always have the feeling that he was targeting Gloria by saying those things earlier. And after saying that, he left the room after Gloria did.' Instantly, Derrick's face looked colder. Mike took a sip of his coffee a
Eva saw that she couldn't hide the truth anymore, so she told Clarissa what had happened, but she didn't mention the heart failure, only saying that Luana was in a coma.Hearing that Luana was in a coma, Clarissa nearly lost her balance and fell.She steadied herself against the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Dr. Woodward, please tell me the address of the hospital..."Eva gave Clarissa the address and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, she's in my hospital and I'll keep an eye on her. You should prepare some clothes for her to change into. She'll probably need to be hospitalized for a while."Eva's calm voice gave Clarissa some strength.She steadied herself, thanked Eva, and hung up the phone. Then she stumbled into Luana's bedroom.She quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, grabbed some toiletries, and hurriedly drove to the hospital.Eva was in the middle of giving Luana a detailed examination when she saw Clariss
Clarissa, Clarissa…Luana heard Clarissa's crying voice in a daze. The sound tugged at her heart, making it impossible for her to keep going.She stood in the mist, slowly turning her head, just in time to see Clarissa running toward her."Luana, don't leave. Come back. I still have so much to tell you…"Luana opened her mouth to respond to Clarissa, but no sound came out.Then, fresh oxygen flowed in, easing her suffocated heart.Gradually, the mist dissipated and Clarissa vanished. Luana fell into a deep coma."Dr. Woodward, her heart has started beating again!""Hurry, keep her on oxygen!"Eva saw the flickering data on the ECG monitor and felt her legs go weak.This was the first time she had been so anxious about a patient, fearing that she might die.Her hands were still trembling, too weak to even lift."Dr. Roffe , how's the situation with the back of her head?"Dr. Roffe
Cline stared coldly at Sidney, his face full of dissatisfaction."Cline, you used to... protect Valda like this too," Sidney said, eyeing him suspiciously up and down.In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions was Valda.Back then, he had stood up for Valda just like this, even going to any lengths to defend her!Sidney's words hit a sore spot for Cline, making his expression even darker and more irritable."What do you want to get out of this?""I want her dead! Either that, or sell her to a club and make her life a living hell! Otherwise, I'll tell Auntie that you have a special relationship with her!"Upon hearing this, Cline slightly tilted his head and reluctantly slapped Luana.The moment the slap landed, Luana, who was unprepared, lost her balance and fell straight backward—This time, she wasn't so lucky. There was a nail where she fell, which pierced right into the back
The man had a face with sharp angles, like it was chiseled out of stone, and eyes that were impossible to read.He wore a black suit that accentuated his lean and upright figure, exuding an aura as dazzling as the stars yet tinged with melancholy.After steadying Runa, he didn't immediately remove his hand from her waist. Instead, he looked down at Luana coldly."You dare to lay a hand on my fiancée? Who the fuck are you?"Luana's heart, which had been racing and nearly suffocating with tension, suddenly chilled at the man's indifferent voice.Drenched, with a swollen cheek and disheveled hair, she felt more humiliated by his words than by her appearance.She hugged her shivering arms, lowered her head, and stared lifelessly at her toes, awaiting judgment from these powerful, condescending people."Cline, what are you doing here?"Runa asked, surprised yet more shocked that Cline hadn't let go of her.Cline was always so busy handling affairs—why would he show up at a mall, and in the
The entrance of the mall was crowded with people coming and going.If someone took a photo or a video, it might harm Luana's reputation.Although the Moriarty family had enough PR skills to deal with the public opinion, it was better not to cause trouble.Thinking of this, Sidney immediately withdrew her hand and gave a signal to the bodyguards behind her.The bodyguards quickly took out a handkerchief, covered Luana's mouth with it, and dragged her towards the restroom.Luana was almost thrown into the toilet stall by the bodyguards. They didn't give her a chance to escape and pinned her down tightly.Sidney and Runa walked in gracefully in high heels.They looked down at Luana as if they were symbols of power."Sidney, is she the one who disrespected you at the hospital?" Runa asked."Yes, she dared to mock me and even threatened to call the police on me. How dare she!" Sidney replied.Runa also glared at Luana fiercely."Luana, I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Do you want to d
When she saw Gath come out with an angry look on his face, completely different from the cheerful appearance she had seen before, it seemed as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them.Luana did not ask about their relationship, pretending to know nothing, and took out the swelling-reducing medicine to give it to Eva."Eva, apply this. You're so beautiful. You don't want to be scared, do you?" Seeing the injury on Eva's face, Luana felt guilty, as if she were the reason Eva got hit."Thank you," Eva accepted the swelling-reducing patch and applied it to her face, then looked at Luana, who was pretending nothing had happened."You know Gath, don't you?" Eva thought that since Luana and Calvert seemed to have a good relationship, and Gath was Calvert's friend, Luana must know him.Luana nodded but did not ask any more questions.Eva, however, did not mind and openly said, "He's like my brother, but without blood ties. However... the grudges between us run deep."As for how deep th
After getting some anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medicine from the nurse, Luana returned.She pushed open the door to the dean's office just in time to see Gath pinning Eva against the wall. Luana froze for a moment before quickly backing out and closing the door behind her.She sat down on a chair outside, propping her chin on her hand, her mind racing but unable to make sense of the tangled relationships between them.Inside the dean's office, Eva had regained her composure the moment she saw Luana. She forcefully pushed Gath away."Stay away from me..."Gath, pushed back, straightened his disheveled clothes but kept his eyes fixed on Eva."Does it hurt?" he asked, touching the swollen cheek where she had been slapped, though his eyes held a mocking smile."I thought you'd be quite capable after leaving the Tittlington family, but it turns out you've just latched onto Cline. Though the price seems a bit too high."Eva was
When Luana heard Sidney's words, she felt insulted, while Eva was filled with fear.Eva quickly stepped forward, blocking Luana and apologizing on her behalf, "Miss Preston, this patient didn't know who you were, which is why she spoke to you like that. I'm really sorry. Please, just let her go."Eva's submissive pleading made Luana feel even more guilty, and she started to say, "Eva..."She wanted to tell her not to lower herself for her sake, but Eva interrupted her, "Miss, you're just here to see me for treatment. We're not close. If you say anything else that upsets Miss Preston, I won't treat you anymore!"Eva was trying to distance herself from Luana, seemingly to protect her.Luana understood her intentions and kept quiet.Although she thought the woman in front of her was too arrogant, Eva seemed terrified of her. To avoid causing more trouble for Eva, Luana gritted her teeth and endured it.Seeing this, Sidney's lips curled i
Luana nodded in agreement. "The key issue still lies with his family."This realization struck Clarissa, who hurriedly said, "I'll go to his hometown and ask some neighbors. That should clear things up."Luana quickly grabbed her hand, warning, "Don't go alone. It's too dangerous."Who knew what the situation was like in Albert's hometown? If Clarissa went alone and got into trouble, what would happen?Luana tried to calm her down, saying, "Don't worry. I think Angela can't keep her cool for long. When we find a chance when Albert isn't around, you just provoke her a bit. She might just lay all her cards on the table."Clarissa thought about it and found it made sense.In the ward just now, Angela had almost lost her temper several times. If it weren't for Albert holding her back, she might have already jumped up and confronted Clarissa.It would be safer to approach Angela when Albert wasn't around than to go to his hometown alone.
