  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.

      "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

     Patrick's eyes were filled with pride. The sight of Gloria like this made him feel that his heart was beating faster. It was as if he was looking at that Gloria from three years ago. He had never thought that he missed that Gloria so much!  At night, in Christine's office at Fittro Club, Christine had just finished briefing Patrick, when someone knocked on the door.  Patrick said, "Come in."  Leonard pushed open the door and entered. He asked, "Alpha Patrick, you want to see me?"  "I want you to find out if there's something we don't know about regarding what happened three years ago," Patrick said.  "Do you mean the thing about Gabrielle three years ago?" Leonard was surprised. He asked in disbelief, "Isn't that settled already?"  "Since when do I need your permission when I do things?" Patrick said with certain Alpha pressure.  Leonard trembled in fear. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he said carefully, "Alpha Patrick, it has been

      Damon walked into his bedroom and locked the door.  He frowned and thought for a moment before taking out his phone and dialing a number that he had not called for a long time.  After the call was connected, a teasing voice that was filled with contempt came through the phone. "Well, well, Beta Damon. It's been a long time since we last talked."  Damon frowned deeply. He said hastily, ignoring the man's attitude on the other end of the line, "Leonard just searched in the storeroom and took Gabrielle's address book. That was weird. Do me a favor and find out what he's up to."  "Beta Damon, you know better than anyone who Leonard works for. He's just a pack guard. What does he need the address book for? The only reason is that his boss has assigned him a new task," the man said sarcastically.  In the next second, anger emerged on Damon's face as he bellowed into the phone, "Gabrielle is dead! Why do they need the address book now?"  "Enough, Beta

      Ellison gave a mocking smile and thought, 'Patrick, it turns out you can't say no to the Moon Goddess' arrangement either. If you had known this was going to happen, would you have been so cruel?'  Ellison was very smart. He had figured out from Leonard's behavior that Patrick had changed his attitude toward Gloria.  He muttered to himself, "I was wrong to think Gabrielle was Patrick's soft spot. Behind her angelic face, she was actually a vicious woman. No wonder Patrick didn't do anything about Gabrielle's terrible death." His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he was thrilled because of the upcoming challenge.  Ellison dialed a number at once. With a nasty smile on his face, he said to Damon, "I got it. Patrick has already accepted Gloria as his mate."  As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground through the phone.  Damon, who was on the other end of the line, lost his grip on his phone and it fell to the

      Their lips molded together. Gloria couldn't move her jaw at all, so she could only let the drool drip down the corner of her mouth.  It was not an affectionate kiss, but a complete torture.  Gloria closed her eyes and refused to shed a single tear. The man in front of her made it utterly clear to her that her tears were worthless.  Patrick had gone mad the moment he learned that Gloria had got herself a new driver's license.  He thought, 'I'm sorry, Gloria. I fell in love with you, and I hurt you. If the pain is enough to make you remember the lesson and too scared to leave me, then it's worth it.  Because I can never let go of you again.'  Patrick kissed the woman under him madly.  He only pushed Gloria's dislocated jaw back when the car stopped steadily. His technique was swift and skilled.  Leo was blaming him for hurting Gloria. However, he ignored Leo completely. Right now, he saw nothing but Gloria in his eyes.  "Gloria,

    She quickly lowered her eyelashes, blocking out that scorching gaze.The man stared at her for a while, and upon noticing the flutter of her lashes, he confirmed she was truly awake.He straightened up, said nothing, and turned to leave, soon returning with an elderly man.The old man had golden hair and blue eyes, his head full of white hair. Dressed in a white suit, he looked spirited and elegant.The man led the elderly gentleman in, raised his slender finger, pointed at Luana on the bed, and asked with a frown, "George, how did she wake up?"George?Luana was taken aback. Eva had mentioned that Cline had contacted a renowned international heart specialist for her, and that expert was named George. Could this be him?George didn't respond to the man's question. Instead, he activated the medical equipment and began a full-body examination of Luana.His expression was focused, his eyes filled with disbelief.His reactio

    Cline's face stiffened instantly. The body he had been barely holding together suddenly collapsed.Yes, Luana loved Albion, not him. What right did he have to stay here?He remembered how Luana had repeatedly asked him not to mess with her in the past...Since she despised him so much, if he didn't let Aibion be alone with her for a while, she would only hate him more.Thinking this, Cline slowly stood up and walked away without looking back.Calvert watched Cline's figure disappear, then turned back. He gently traced Luana's photo on the tombstone."Luana, forgive me for not telling him the truth—that you actually loved him... I just wanted to punish him for being so cruel to you... But please, don't blame me, okay?"With that, he kissed the tombstone one last time."Luana, I've passed the Coburn Group to my cousin and given all my personal assets to Clarissa. I... can come to stay with you now."Calvert took out

    Calvert managed a calm smile, "Don't worry. I'm just fulfilling my promise to take care of you. But I have to manage the Coburn Group, so I won't be able to look after you in person. I can only support you financially."He lowered his eyes, filled with guilt, "I should have taken care of you both as soon as I returned to the Coburn Group, but my amnesia made you both suffer for five years..."Clarissa pushed the folder back, "I can't accept these. I can earn money myself."Calvert insisted, "Take it. Consider it compensation for my regrets over the years." With that, he got up and left."Where are you going?" Clarissa called out.Calvert turned back, his smile making her uneasy, "To visit her.""Albion, I'm the only family you have left. Don't do anything foolish," Clarissa's voice was choked with emotion.Calvert waved his hand without turning around and walked away.He bought a bunch of flower and went to the cemetery. In the

    Gath traced the belt marks on her cheek with his fingertip in a mocking tone, "Came to see you... You've been doing so 'well' after leaving the Titlington family."Eva avoided his touch and coldly said, "You've seen enough, now go. I need to rest."Gath suddenly gripped her chin with a force that made her wince, "Eva, you're getting bold, huh? Speaking to me like that."Eva winced, but Gath let go as suddenly as he had grabbed her. She looked up and caught him avoiding her gaze."Gath, I'm hungry. Could you get me something to eat?" Eva softened her voice."Who do you think you are to order me around?" Gath raised an eyebrow."Someone you've been with. Does that count?" Eva fired back.Gath fell silent for a moment, then got up and left the ward.Eva watched him leave, her smile fading, her eyes cold and filled with loathing.'Gath, if you ever fall for me, I'll make you pay for all the pain you've caused!'No soo

    "Do you know who she is? She's Sidney from the Preston family! You can't afford to tangle with her, so scram—"Zander let out a cold laugh, and the others joined in. "What a coincidence, she's exactly who we're looking for."Amid their eerie laughter, the man immediately abandoned Sidney, pushing through the crowd to flee.But he had barely taken two steps when a man in a black mask yanked him back.With a judo throw, the black-masked man sent him crashing to the ground, rendering him unconscious on the spot.Zander turned to Cline, "Sir, what shall we do with her?"Cline lowered his head, massaging his right hand that was oozing blood, as hatred surged within him.He was the cause of Luana's fatal injury, and now Sidney and Runa, who had humiliated her, deserved no less.He narrowed his eyes, his voice icy, "First, give her a hundred slaps, then..."He paused, his tone turning vicious, "Throw her into 'Nightfall'

    Cline entered the study, unlocked a drawer, and retrieved a gold-bronze mask and a bottle of grey plant juice.He picked up a brush and carefully painted a wolf pattern on his neck.After finishing, he made a call.The recipient answered promptly, addressing him respectfully.Cline, gazing at the night outside, said coldly, "Tonight's targets are Sidney and Runa."The recipient responded promptly, "Yes, I'll come to pick you up right away."Cline hung up, his eyes cold and filled with malice as he looked at the manor lit by streetlights.Through the lights, he seemed to see the old mansion of the Preston family, and his eyes blazed with hatred.'Sheila, I promised my father I wouldn't kill you, but you've destroyed what I care about, so I'll destroy what you care about.''If you want to play, I'll play along...'Cline rewound the blood-soaked bandage on his hand and put on a pair of black leather gloves.He

    Back then, he was young and naive, thinking that by attempting suicide, his mother would show him some kindness.But he soon realized that not all women who have given birth deserve the title of "mother."Ironically, the woman who wanted to torture him to death wasn't a wicked stepmother but his biological mother.The Moriarty family treated him with care, while the Preston family, his mother's side, devised ways to torment him.He had once doubted whether he was his mother's biological son, but investigations proved otherwise. He was her son, a plaything she intended to torture to death.His mother's method of torture was to force him to live and watch everything he cared about be destroyed before his eyes.Cline's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had once believed that all mothers loved their children and had yearned for maternal love.Now, he knew better. Cline lifted his hate-filled eyes and coldly regarded the woman in the whe

    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
