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
Gloria knew the woman in front of her. Her name was Audrey Hall. Soon, more people appeared in front of Gloria. Gloria glanced over and found that she was familiar with them all. They began to talk to each other. "It really is Gloria! I couldn't believe it when you told me it was Gloria just now. But it is her!" said one of the women. "But Gloria, how did you become like this?" Another woman asked. She sounded quite curious. "She has just left werewolf prison. What do you think?" Audrey chuckled. Then she suddenly thought of something and said to Gloria with care, "Gloria, when were you released? Why didn't you tell us? We studied in the werewolf school together before. You should tell us so that we can have a gathering." Gloria felt a little embarrassed. A gathering? Would they still want to have a gathering with her? She looked at Audrey. She could see the smirk on Audrey's face. She knew that Audrey wanted to make fun of her. "But it doesn't m
Audrey walked very quickly, and Gloria found it difficult to keep up. They kept walking and finally came to somewhere quiet. Gloria took a quick look around. She realized that Audrey had led her to the end of the corridor on the second floor. In front of her was a room with double doors. Audrey suddenly stopped in front of the doors. She smiled mockingly at Gloria and said, "Gloria, we're here." Gloria raised her head silently. She looked at the heavy doors in front of her. She realized that everything that had happened today was no coincidence. Her gaze quietly fell on Audrey's face. Her eyes were incomparably calm. The fear in her eyes disappeared. She couldn't escape, so she had to cooperate. This was what she had learned over the three years in prison. "It's annoying. Don't look at me like that!" Gloria stared at Audrey calmly. For some reason, it made Audrey mad. She glared at the people beside her and said, "Are you deaf
In despair, Gloria closed her eyes and unclenched her fists. She looked at Audrey's face again and said word by word, "Ms. Hall, are you sure if I do what you say this time, you'll give me all the copies and promise not to tell anyone?" Audrey was about to continue mocking Gloria. She wanted to tell Gloria that she didn't get to call the shots and could only do as she was told. Yet Gloria opened her mouth again. "Ms. Hall, everyone has secrets. If you fool me again this time, I can assure you that I will kill you!" Gloria's gaze turned cold as she stared at Audrey without blinking. Audrey gasped. She could hardly take her eyes off that humble woman's face, even for a second! Audrey's heart beat rapidly, and she was filled with terror. She thought, 'This bitch, Gloria, she means it!' Audrey got her message from Gloria's unyielding gaze. Audrey was frightened by Gloria's glare and took a step back. Then she felt ashamed of hers
Through the crack in the door, Derrick saw the woman inside. It was Gloria, the person he had been looking for. He couldn't believe his eyes. Harry came over and asked, "Mr. Fisher, why don't you go inside?" Suddenly, Derrick used his hand to cover Harry's mouth with great strength. Harry looked up and saw Derrick's bloodshot eyes with killing intent. The next second, he followed Derrick's gaze and looked inside as well. Harry's eyes widened instantly. He was stunned. He thought, 'Gloria? Why is she here? What is she doing? I feel so humiliated and furious! I can barely lift my head! Gloria! How can you be so cheap?' Through the crack of the door, both Derrick and Harry saw the familiar figure. She was kneeling humbly on the ground and giving a middle-aged man a foot massage. Derrick saw the others inside. Their faces were so familiar. When he saw them grinning and laughing at Gloria wildly, he sud
Audrey still felt it was not enough. She continued, "Mr. Fisher, you should know who Patrick is, right? Back then, he sent Gloria to the werewolf prison himself. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Carter. He is standing right next to you. Ask him whether those werewolves of the Silver Spring Pack still consider Gloria as one of them. "I remember that Alpha Alger himself told the Alpha of our pack that he did not consider Gloria as a member of the Silver Spring Pack." Audrey looked at Harry. Then she continued, "Well, we are outsiders, so it's natural that we don't believe her. But what about her family? Mr. Fisher, tell me, is she guilty?" Her words made Derrick's mind spin. He looked at Harry, and the latter looked away. Harry's reaction was self-explanatory. What Audrey said was true. Derrick was in a trance. He thought, 'I always thought Gloria was just a rogue with no one to turn to, and she had no choice but to be a call girl. I had no
Harry didn't notice Gloria's coldness. He felt embarrassed and didn't want to stay there any longer, so he turned around and hurried out. Audrey was complacent. She thought, 'Gloria, no one will compare me with you again, and you can no longer be arrogant! You'll rot here, and don't ever think of leaving!' Audrey kicked the box of money in front of Gloria and said in a mocking tone, "It's yours now." "The backup." Gloria reached out her hand, her eyes somewhat indifferent as she stared at Audrey. "I told you that if you fool me again, I will make you suffer." Gloria's expression freaked her out. Audrey was a little frightened, yet she refused to give in. "There aren't any. The only copy is on this phone. Look." As Audrey spoke, she took out the storage card from her phone and ordered the person beside her, "Get me a lighter." Then, she burned the storage card in front of Gloria and said, "Gloria, look carefully. I burned it. If anyo
Christine was worried about Gloria, so she went out searching for her. However, Gloria was nowhere to be found. She thought, 'How could she disappear in such a short time?' Christine thought that since Gloria had no friends, she might have returned to the dormitory. Therefore, she rushed to Gloria's dormitory. After she opened the door with the spare key, she found no one at home. She waited for a while, but Gloria did not come back. Christine was worried that Gloria still stayed in the previous place, so she rushed downstairs and headed back. She asked all the waiters, yet no one had seen Gloria. And she searched almost everywhere. She thought, 'Did she go back to Fittro Club?' Christine called Emily and didn't get the answer she expected. She checked the time. One and a half hours had passed since Gloria left. Christine panicked, and her thoughts ran wild. 'What Gloria just experienced was terrible. Will she d
Gloria looked at the sky. "Christine, you know that I hate him and am afraid of him. Six years ago, he sent me to the werewolf prison. There were iron bars everywhere. "Not long ago, I woke up in the morning and found myself locked in a space full of iron bars again. He put bars on all the windows. In my opinion, it was no different from my life in prison. "He tried all means to imprison me. He was now so sick that he finally let go. He said that he didn't want to continue the game. He was tired of me and I believed it. But isn't that ridiculous? He lets go only when he's dying. Does this mean that he cares about me? "You are right. When I was at the airport, I kept thinking about how you scolded me. I was running all the time. I didn't just run from him, but from my family as well. "Patrick imprisoned my body. As for me, I imprisoned my heart. "Alright, let's get in. It's a bit cold outside." Gloria felt relaxed after saying that. She stood up.
Gloria picked up the apple from the stable and quietly peeled it. Not long after, the peeled apple was handed to Patrick. The apple emitted a fragrance. Patrick didn't believe what was happening. He didn't dare to take the apple. He didn't know if the apple would disappear the moment he took it. "When will the operation be carried out?" Gloria went straight to the point. She held the peeled apple in her hand. Patrick immediately became alert. He was a little nervous. "Who told you?" "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" She asked again, ignoring his nagging. "The day after tomorrow." He stared at Gloria. In fact, she was more stubborn than him. If she didn't get an answer, she wouldn't give up. Gloria nodded and stuffed Patrick. "Are you not eating it? I peeled it for you." Patrick felt warm in his heart. He had never shown his weaknesses, but now felt tears well up in his eyes. One could even see that his eyes turned red. He
"Look, you're hesitating." Christine was like an invader. She pursued further and didn't let Gloria go. "I just asked you if you still loved him, but you hesitated. Do you really know yourself? "Gloria, in my opinion, you are running away from him. Three years ago, you tried everything you could to escape. Now, you have made no progress at all. You are still escaping. Will you really be at peace at Waikiki Beach? I will be blunt. If you can only remain calm on Waikiki Beach, it means that you have never been calm." Gloria trembled, and her face paled. "Stop it! Enough!" Christine's words echoed in her mind. She wanted to press the pause button but there was simply none. "Gloria, Waikiki Beach is not a pure land. The peace you think is just your escape," Christine said seriously. Christine should not have said this, but she saw some things that the people in the police station did not see. She saw Gloria's hesitation. During the thre
Outside a VIP ward in the hospital, an unexpected figure appeared. "Let him in." In the ward, Patrick nodded. The door opened, and Ellison walked in. "You're really well-informed," Patrick said coldly, his lips pale. "I have my sources. No matter how well you hide it, you can't guarantee that your subordinates won't give themselves away," Ellison said calmly. Patrick smiled, "You don't have to be in such a hurry even though you covet the Hammond Group. After I die, it will be all yours." "Come on." Ellison sat down on a chair. "If you die, all your assets will be given to her." Although he didn't say who she was, Patrick, who was lying on the bed, had a glint in his eyes. "You know me well." "No." Ellison waved his index finger. "It just so happened that I saw a lawyer walk out of the hospital. That lawyer was hired by you personally to serve you and the Hammond Group." "Did you find me just like that?" Patrick asked.
"Don't move. I just want to look at you," Patrick whispered. Gloria only felt that it was strange. When did he learn to be gentle? When she raised her eyes to look at him, she was seized by his eyes. His eyes were like black holes as if swallowing her up. Intense affection seemed to be about to burst out of his eyes in a second. She had never experienced this before. She had never seen Patrick like this before. Before she ran out of patience, he released her. He took a step back, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to her. "Don't you want to leave? I'll let you go." She took the paper and found it was a divorce agreement. As her gaze slid down, Patrick had already signed his name. For a moment, she became even more confused. He had done everything he could to force her to be with him, but now he had taken out the divorce agreement. She didn't understand. Gloria looked at Patrick, her
Half a month had passed. Patrick didn't appear in front of her again. Occasionally, Hank would come back to take a change of clothes and then leave in a hurry. Apart from being confused, the guards in the pack became increasingly serious. Gloria didn't know what had happened. One day, the dark iron gate of Alpha's villa opened again. She saw the familiar Bentley driving in from the second floor from a distance. She looked at the car and fell into a daze. Finally, he came back. She retracted her gaze and did not know how to face him. Just as she was lost in thought, Kevin went to her door and invited her to meet Alpha respectfully. She wanted to ask if she could refuse. However, Kevin turned around and left directly. It was no use delaying. She still went downstairs. Gloria gave a self-mockery chuckle. However, her smile faded quickly. As she got thinner, her face seemed to be sunken. She noticed a
Smoke came out from the gap in the door. Instantly, Hank's expression changed. He shook off Mandy, who was pulling him, took out his key, and opened the door. "Luna Gloria! What is going on?" Before he finished speaking, he choked on the thick smoke and coughed violently. Mandy rushed in. "Gloria, don't scare me! Don't tell me that you want to kill yourself!" Unfortunately, the smoke was too thick, and the flames were everywhere. Hank immediately called the police and tried to rush in. A figure passed him quickly and rushed in. In the blink of an eye, the figure had already rushed into the thick smoke. "Alpha Patrick! You can't go inside! "It's too dangerous!" Hank shouted, but Patrick turned a deaf ear. He looked around the room through the smoke, but Gloria was nowhere to be seen. He immediately rushed to the bedroom door, but the door could not be opened. "Gloria! Open the door! Gloria! Open the
In the ward, Patrick took a chair and sat down. Opposite him was Harry. "She lied to me and came to donate her bone marrow to you." Patrick said, breaking the silence. Harry turned pale and gradually despaired. He said, "I'll go find her! I won't force her to donate her bone marrow!" He stood up and was about to leave. "Gloria was injecting G-CSF. I took her home." Harry calmed down after hearing that. "The donor?" Harry was puzzled. "Your brother." Harry did not know what to say for a moment. "Your brother's match result was a fake. I've known this for a long time. But Gloria doesn't care about it, so I do nothing." Harry wanted to say something. He found that Patrick was so indifferent. Patrick knew the truth, yet he chose to stand aside and watch the farce. "You know Gloria went to the bone marrow bank. Ever since she found out about your condition, she's been asking around to find a suitable donor. I
Patrick paused. The next second, he reached out to cover her eyes and then kissed the back of his hand over them. "You mean a lot to me," he said silently. "Gloria, don't think about running away again. For the rest of your life, you're bound to be with me. You can't get away without my permission." He had already lost his mind. He felt bad for her, yet such a feeling was surpassed by his longing to keep her with him. After everything was over, she said, "I hate you." He closed his eyes. When he opened them, he suppressed the pain in them and said, pretending that he didn't care, "Whatever." He thought, 'You can hate me. Even though you want to hate me, I'm the only one you are going to hate. I don't care about anything else, as long as I'm the only one in your world. You may choose to love me or hate me as you want.' It was just that the moment she said she hated him, he felt his heartache killing him. The day of Harr
