  As 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 spoke very slowly. Then she turned firmly and walked toward Patrick.  She looked at Patrick in front of her. From the second she knew that he was her mate, they were meant to get entangled for a lifetime.  No one else got to stir their fingers at anything that was going on between her and Patrick.  "Mr. Hammond, let's go to Moonlight Group," Gloria lowered her head and whispered.  She felt a hand on her shoulder, and in the next second, the world turned upside down. By the time she could see around her, she found herself being carried by Patrick. Bowing her head, she didn't resist and let Patrick carry her out without struggling.  Derrick stood stiffly there. After Patrick and Gloria disappeared, he suddenly staggered and leaned against the wall behind him.  He couldn't stop thinking about Gloria's words. He thought, 'What does she mean? Why didn't she fight back after I insulted her? Why doesn't she hate me?'  "She said I was her li

    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.

    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
