When Daley heard Alger's words, he immediately cursed Alger for being a bastard. Because Alger didn't want to offend others, Alger asked Daley to do so.
Gloria's gaze shifted to Daley. She said, "Moonlight Group was run by me and my grandfather. Why does the Middleton Family have to intervene in this matter? Mr. Middleton, you're a smart person. You should give up." She didn't even want to waste time and asked Daley to give up Moonlight Group directly. Daley was furious, but when his gaze fell on the pair of eyes behind Gloria, Daley felt extremely upset. "It would be a shame to fight with you." He had already made his stance clear. Gloria's gaze fell on Alger again as she said, "Three years ago, the decision of the Carter family was so decisive that there was no room for negotiation. We all know whether it was because you were really afraid of being involved or for other reasons. At this point, it is no longer necessary to mention the past. AlgeAs soon as Derrick left the room, the people who were angry but didn't dare to say anything suddenly cursed. Derrick ignored them. He turned back and glanced at the door. He took out a cigarette and smoked. His fingers parted, and the cigarette fell to the ground silently. He stepped on it hard in his leather shoes and crushed it back and forth. He glanced out of the window with a sullen expression, raised his foot on the cigarette, and strode out. The car sped along the road, almost flying, yet he did not seem to notice it at all. His eyes were staring straight ahead. It was already almost midnight. He drove fast and finally stopped in front of the Fisher's. As soon as the car stopped, the door was pushed open. Then, Derrick got out of the car and hurried into the house. When the butler heard the noise, he immediately opened the door. However, he said as he saw Derrick, "Alpha Derrick, Curtis said that you were not allowed t
Patrick walked towards the bed and waved at her. He ordered, "Sit over here." Gloria didn't know what was going on, but under his deep gaze, she braced herself and sat closer to him. Patrick took a towel from a shelf and placed it on her head. He rubbed it gently. Then, he dried her hair with a hairdryer. After her hair was dry, he said, "From now on, don't sleep with wet hair." Patrick's action did not make Gloria feel better. On the contrary, she was about to be driven crazy by such abnormal behavior. She did not know what he was going to do, yet she could not stand his behavior like this. She would prefer Patrick treat her the same way as before. She didn't want his sudden gentleness. Finally, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she asked, "Why?" Patrick put down the hairdryer and tucked her hair behind her ears. Instead of answering her, he said, "Sleep tight." He turned around. Gloria wanted to
When Gloria heard what the fired receptionist said, she reached out and stopped the receptionist. She said, "I can guarantee that Moonlight Group is not just a shell company as you said." Gloria turned around and saw an employee behind her. She was a young woman. Gloria called her to come over. Gloria asked, "What is your job at the company?" The girl was a little flustered. She replied, "I am an intern. Mostly, I'm just printing documents." "Do you know how to deal with visiting clients?" Gloria asked. "I'm sorry. I haven't done that before. But I think we should treat them politely and proactively," the intern replied cautiously. Gloria nodded. "Very good. From now on, you are the receptionist of Moonlight Group." Hearing Gloria's words, the receptionist who had been fired felt humiliated. She pointed at Gloria and scolded, "How can you ask an intern to be the receptionist? I majored in administrative management! You must be
"Miss Carter, we are all waiting for you to come back. We always believe that you will return to Moonlight Group." Mandy's eyes turned red. She said, "Miss Carter, three years ago, we tried our best to see you, but they always block us from you. Later, we lost track of you." Although they had heard the rumors of Gloria working in Fittro Club, they did not dare to look for her. If the rumors were true, Mandy believed that Gloria would not want to be seen like that. What Mandy said planted another seed of doubt in Gloria's heart. Gloria did not doubt the words they said. She felt a trace of warmth in her frozen heart. In the three years, she was in the werewolf prison, no one visited her. It turned out that Mandy couldn't manage to meet her. Gloria could not help but sigh. Patrick was so ruthless! From that day on, Gloria seemed to have become a different person. She was quieter, but she listened to Patrick more. What Patrick did not know wa
Patrick rushed back at once after Leonard mind-linked him. With thick curtains, no light could get through and the entire room was dark. Patrick looked around the room and finally found Gloria in a cabinet in the storage room. Patrick's heart ached, and Leo couldn't help but let out a sad howl. Gloria huddled herself in the cabinet. When Patrick opened the door, she wanted to run away. But she was in the closet and had nowhere to go. Patrick saw every bit of her reaction. So far, he had no idea why she reacted so violently. "Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?" Gloria looked up at the man in front of her. She revealed a miserable smile and said, "Mr. Hammond, you saw the video. You must be delighted, right? You don't need to go through all that trouble at all. I was wondering why you suddenly changed your attitude towards me. Now I get it." Patrick's breath paused. With great pity, he looked down at Gloria, who curled herself into a ball in the cabinet. H
"Gloria, you know what? The truth is, you were protected by the old Alpha. And you weren't involved in the real battle yet." After saying this, Patrick stood up, straightened his clothes, and left the study without another word. Sitting on the sofa, Gloria was left alone in the study. She gawked at the desk, while Patrick's words echoed in her mind. Gloria had always believed that she was outstanding, and that Moonlight Group's rise was a result of her talent and hard work. And she still believed so. However, Patrick had just shown her a different angle she had never thought of in all these years. Her opponents were not all gentlemen. In fact, her grandfather, the old Alpha of the Silver Spring Pack, had told her about the rough waters of business from day one. Yet she was too arrogant to take his words seriously. Gloria was not a fool. Quite contrary, she was very smart. To taunt her or to teach her, Patrick was right about one thing. This video proved one point. Some
"Really? Am I worse than you? You pretended to be pitiful and seduced me, and now you are using the same trick to hit on Patrick." When Derrick mentioned Patrick, he was more furious, and his words became harsher. He sneered, "I wonder how you managed to seduce Patrick." He lifted Gloria's chin, leaned close, and said, "You slept with him, right? Slut!" Gloria's chest heaved violently, and her face went ghastly pale. She never thought that she would hear such insulting words from Derrick. "Let go," Gloria said, trying to stay calm. And her voice was trembling. Gloria raised her eyes and looked into Derrick's eyes. She still remembered that when she first met him, he was also frivolous. After getting to know him better, she learned that was not who he really was. "Is that what you think of me?" Gloria asked. Derrick was like a beam of light that lit up her world. If she had a choice, she would never want to come into conflict with him. Derr
"Derrick, you said that I lied to you and that I hid my past from you," Gloria said in a hoarse voice. "I will say it one last time. I never had the intention of hurting Gabrielle, and I swear I didn't ask any rogue to set her up. Her death was self-inflicted. It wasn't my fault." Gloria continued, "Believe it or not, that's the truth, and I don't owe you now." After Gloria finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pushed Derrick away. However, the only thing Derrick now cared about was that Gloria turned him down. Her words meant nothing to him right now, and he failed to interpret the truth behind Gloria's words. He thought, 'She turned me down. She is OK with Patrick touching her, yet she hates me so much!' "Don't think you can get away by simply saying that. There is no such thing in the world! Patrick can have you. Why can't I?" Derrick kissed Gloria underneath him madly. "Derrick! Let go!" Gloria refused. "You wish!" 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
