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 sudAudrey 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
In the driver's seat, Patrick looked both cold and anxious. He didn't know why he was so anxious when he found out that Gloria had been missing. He didn't know why he panicked when Christine said that Gloria might commit suicide. He had to find her! That was all Patrick was thinking. "Leo, can you sense where Gloria is?" Patrick asked his wolf for help. "I can only tell you that she is still alive." There was also anxiety in Leo's voice. He continued, "If you listen to me and let me mark her, I can find her now." "What about her scent? Can't you find her through her scent? I can shift," Patrick said anxiously. "The scent of her wolf is faint, so I can't locate her." Leo felt sorry. Patrick's car passed various roads. He didn't realize one thing. He was doing something stupid! It was like searching for a needle in a haystack! He was trying to find a person in this vast world! But he just did it! Every few
As the car drove, Gloria let go of her hand that was covering her lips. She felt the taste of rust, and she knew that it was blood. She leaned against the seat and thought, 'Whatever he wants to do, just let it be.' Anyway, no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless. In the car, Patrick called his guards through mind link, "Everyone return to Fittro Club." When the car stopped outside the club, Patrick didn't say anything else. He bent down, picked Gloria up, and strode towards the club. "Don't move. If you don't want me to repeat what I did to you in the car in front of everyone, you'd better be good. Don't make me mad. It won't do you any good." Patrick sensed Gloria's struggle and stopped her with an indifferent expression. Gloria was furious. Was Patrick always ignoring her will? However, after she glanced at the surroundings, she closed her eyes. She did not have the right to choose. So, she shut her eyes. Leonard and
Derrick had always been gentle and polite to others, but now he was screaming as if he had gone crazy. He was in agony, yet he laughed aloud. "Patrick, that's ridiculous. What makes you think you can ask me to do something you can't do?" Derrick looked at Patrick and said, "I will never admit that I would fall in love with such a woman!" Patrick ignored Derrick's insanity. He looked at Derrick and said, "In that case, stay away from her. You might be right, but I will use my way to express those words that I can't say." Derrick looked at Patrick like he was looking at a fool. Derrick laughed and said, "Patrick, you are so ridiculous. I'll be watching you and seeing what you will do. As for Gloria, I have already given up on her. I won't be anywhere near her again." Patrick turned around and left. "I hope you will keep your word." Ignoring the shards of glass all over the ground, Derrick raised his hand and pressed his chest. Only th
"First, take a shower yourself and go to sleep. Second, I will help you wash and share the bed with you. If you refuse to choose the first one, then I think you are choosing the second. You stay awake till such a late hour. I think you must be waiting for me and showing your affection for me. In that case, just tell me directly. I will satisfy you." Patrick looked at Gloria and said slowly. At first, Gloria was in a daze. When she came back to her senses, her ears turned red. She suddenly looked up and shouted in a hoarse voice, "I'll take a shower!" After that, Gloria walked into the bathroom under Patrick's complacent gaze. Hot water came out of the shower head and fell on Gloria's body. She closed her eyes and fell into a whirl of thoughts. Right now, she had no idea what her future would be. Giving up everything was an easy option. She didn't have a pack. Her wolf was gone. Her family rejected her. It was an easier way if she si
"Didn't I tell you? There's a glass wall in the bathroom. You can't see the inside from the outside. But you can see the outside from the inside." Patrick asked. "Why didn't I see it?" Gloria asked subconsciously. "Why didn't you see it?" He chuckled and said, "Maybe because the window blinds are usually down. However, I just rolled them up." As he spoke, he returned to the bathroom and turned off the tap. Then, he raised the swipe card in his hand and asked, "Are you looking for this?" When Gloria saw the swipe card, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. It turned out that he already knew what was on her mind. Patrick's forehead was wet. Water dripped down the tip of his hair. He walked toward Gloria. There was no way to retreat. She swallowed subconsciously. "Mr. Hammond, I'm sorry!" An imperceptible light flashed in Gloria's eyes. She bent her knees and knelt to Patrick as she spoke. Patrick reached out a hand to hold Glo
When Eva was impersonating Cline's lover, she was also terrified of being tortured to death like Valda.But she mustered the courage to do so because, since Gath sent people to rape her, she had felt she should disappear from the world.It was Cline who reached out to her, telling her not to rush revenge and that it would eventually succeed.This gave her the courage to live on.With Cline's support, Eva traveled far to study medicine.Cline had given her the strength to start anew, and so she remained devoted to him.But she hadn't anticipated that her initial intention was to protect Luana by keeping a low profile, only to inadvertently drag her into trouble.Eva lowered her dim eyes, striving to suppress her guilt, and looked up at Cline."Luana, do it!" she urged.The worst that could happen was losing her life, which was nothing to fear.Cline glanced at Eva, his icy gaze shifting back to Sheila
He recalled that night when he held her and unintentionally hurled hurtful words, driving her further away.His thoughts drifted back to their first encounter.He was bloodied, sitting in the shade waiting for Gehrmann.She left a bottle of water as she hurried into the school, her profile forever etched in his mind.Later, outside the nightclub, he saw her soaked through, kneeling on the ground with eyes filled with despair.He took her, became addicted to her tenderness, and even forced her to sign a lover's agreement.But every time she called out Albion's name in her sleep, his heart stirred with jealousy.When Runa returned to the States, he ended the agreement, only to find he couldn't let go.He posed as "Mr. Night" to get close to her, using Runa to test her feelings, just to confirm if she had fallen for him.It wasn't until Calvert appeared that he realized he was already deeply ensnared.Now, looking at
Calvert approached Cline step by step, his tone gentle but his words cutting deep, "Inside is just a handful of ashes. Even if you open the coffin, you won't see her—because... I was the one who cremated her."Calvert looked Cline in the eye, noting the redness in his eyes, and felt a surge of satisfaction.The Luana he held dear had wanted to see this man one last time before passing, but Cline hadn't answered her calls and had even let another woman hurt her, causing her to leave with regret.How could he not hate him?Calvert's words caused Cline's slightly curled fingers to suddenly clench tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.The pain in his heart didn't subside.Instead, it quickly spread throughout his body, like electric shocks coursing through his limbs, making him tremble all over.Despite the intense pain, he still refused to believe Luana was dead.He hadn't had the chance to see her one last time&md
Calvert chose a gravesite overlooking LA's night view.Across the scenic mountain was where he and Luana had been.She once said she loved this place and wanted him to bring her often.But he broke his promise, never taking her again, even forgetting her.Calvert lowered his head towards the urn in his arms, guilt staining his eyes red."Luana, I'm sorry..."Clarissa arrived with the belongings, hearing Calvert's apology.She stopped, looking at him holding the urn, and felt a moment of pity.The lovers' missed connection must have left him more regretful than her.Clarissa held back tears, pushed the suitcase to him, and said softly, "Albion, it's time for the burial."Lois had picked the burial date. Further delay would cause trouble.Clarissa wanted Luana to rest in peace.Calvert came to his senses and looked at the suitcase. "Is this all she has?"Clarissa shook her head. "I can't burn th
She saw a folded piece of paper in the drawer.Upon opening it, she discovered it was a message from Luana to Cline.Just a few short sentences, but they revealed Luana's true feelings.To honor her wishes, Clarissa picked up the phone.Taking a deep breath, Clarissa said into the receiver, "Luana is gone. Don't call anymore."Cline had been waiting for Luana to speak, but instead, he heard a strange woman's voice.Ignoring the statement that "Luana is gone," he said in a deep voice, "Let Luana speak."Clarissa was immediately angered. "She's dead. How can she speak?"This was the third time today someone had told him Luana was dead, which was just too absurd.He tightly gripped his phone and coldly asked, "Who are you?"Clarissa replied with patience, "Luana's friend, Clarissa."He knew Luana had a close friend who had been her support, but he still couldn't believe what she was saying. "You're Ms. Moss, r
Cline looked down at her, not wanting to waste any more breath. He simply said coldly, "Get out."Under normal circumstances, Runa would have left without daring to defy Cline.But at this moment, she was wrapped in a bath towel, her feminine curves fully exposed to him.It was bad enough that he was indifferent. He wouldn't even glance at her and now told her to leave. How could she bear that?Runa clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms, and she said resentfully, "You promised him that you would marry me. Have you forgotten?"Upon hearing this, the darkness in Cline's eyes didn't lessen but intensified. "If it weren't for him, I would never marry you. Do you understand? Now get out quickly!"Runa's breath caught. In the past, whenever she had used this threat against Cline, he would always concede to some extent.Even if he didn't give in, his attitude towards her would improve. But now, he completely d
Clarissa had already cried herself into a mess by the time she finished reading the letter.The bank card tucked inside the envelope felt like a heavy iron weight, pressing down on her heart and making it hard for her to breathe.Luana was so silly, worrying about her being short of money even at the brink of death, but..."Luana, I don't need your money. I just want you to come back..."Clarissa clutched the envelope tightly, a wave of longing unlike anything she had ever felt before washing over her, causing her to cry her heart out.Eventually, Clarissa fell into a deep sleep from sheer exhaustion, even her dreams filled with visions of Luana returning.Her heart was filled with sorry and a subconscious longing for Luana to come back, which was why she saw her in her dreams.When she woke up and returned to reality, that feeling of falling into an abyss and the sense of helplessness instantly filled her entire being, suffocating he
He wouldn't let her go without a grave. After spending some more time with her, he would bury her with his own hands.Seeing him like this, Gath didn't insist further. "Take care of yourself. Let me know if you need anything."Calvert nodded, his expression calm. Gath left with some relief.Before leaving, Gath instructed the bodyguard to look after him carefully and ensure nothing happened to him.After Gath left, Calvert took out a clean towel and meticulously wiped the urn.When Clarissa woke up from her coma, she learned from Eva that Calvert had already cremated Luana and cried her heart out once more.Eva held her shoulders, offering silent comfort. She too was too upset to speak about Luana's sudden passing.Luana had originally had two more months, but it wasn't for her that she wouldn't have been beaten by the Moriarty family...Her helplessness had indirectly become one of the reasons for Luana's death...Accom
Gath learned of Luana's passing and rushed over, only to be confronted with this heart-wrenching scene.In his memory, Calvert had always been the epitome of grace and composure, never losing his cool.But now... Gath couldn't find the right words to describe him. He just felt that Calvert seemed possessed."Gath..." he grabbed Gath's hand, his voice trembling as he pleaded, "You're a medical genius. You must have a way to save her, right?"Gath looked into his bloodshot eyes and couldn't help but feel his own eyes welling up. "Calvert, pull yourself together..."Gath didn't even say it was impossible to save her. Instead, he urged him to stay strong, which only emphasized the hopelessness of the situation.Calvert felt utterly drained, collapsing to the ground, his eyes fixated on the tightly shut iron gate with a look of utter despair.As night slowly fell, the crematorium's iron gate creaked open, and a staff member emerged, holdin
