  "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,

      Patrick opened the door, got into the car, and drove off without Hank. Hank immediately got in another car and went after Patrick's car.  Patrick was driving so fast that Hank could only follow him from a far distance.  Hank watched as Patrick braked abruptly and walked into a building.  "Miss Carter, here is your new driver's license."  "Thank you." Before Gloria could finish her words, someone suddenly snatched the driver's license from the service staff.  Gloria turned around and was about to say something, but when she saw the man's face, her pale lips trembled. "Why are you here?"  "Are you trying to run away from me?" Patrick's face was as cold as ice.  "No, I'm not," Gloria denied in fear.  "No?" Patrick shook the driver's license in his hand. "Then what is this for? Explain it to me."  Patrick was furious. He kept Gloria's license, and now she came here to get a new one, which could only mean that she wanted to get away

    "Clarissa..." Albert wept and pleaded, "My mom has cancer, I got fired from my job, and the baby still needs milk. For the sake of our years together, treat me like a beggar and spare me a little help.""If you were truly a beggar, I'd give you some money to send you on your way, but you're not..."A clear voice cut through the air, tinged with exhaustion, coldness, and a hint of ruthlessness. "You're nothing but scum!""Clarissa!""Gag him and get him out of my sight!"At the command, the bodyguards immediately seized Albert and shoved him into the elevator."Humph, this despicable man!"Luana followed the voice and spotted a familiar figure leaning against the bar.The woman had a slender figure, waist-length curly hair, and fair, slender fingers holding a slender cigarette, while her other hand toyed with a wine glass.She tilted her head, staring into the red wine in her glass, as if observing another world from afar

    Upon learning of this possibility, Cline simply said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.He gazed once more in the direction the black luxury car had vanished, now more certain than ever that Dorian had taken his Luana.However, he refused to believe they were husband and wife.Russell arrived with the bodyguards in a hurry, seeing Cline standing in front of the smashed Bugatti.Thinking Cline's car had been in an accident, he quickly approached."Mr. Moriarty, are you alright? Did you take too much sleeping pill and start hallucinating again?"For the past three years, Cline had been plagued by insomnia, clutching two mementos of Luana and struggling to sleep through the night.Russell, worried about his health, had obtained some sleeping pills from Eva.Little did he know, Cline had become addicted to them. Later, Russell found out that the medication could induce hallucinations when taken in excess.It was these hall

    Cline's brow twitched, his eyes filled with disdain as he regarded Dorian.He strode quickly to Luana, extending his hand with an unyielding tone, "Come with me."Before Luana could refuse, Dorian swiftly acted, his long arm encircling her shoulder and pulling her tightly into his embrace. A provocative smile played on his lips as he challenged, "On what grounds?"Cline's vision sharpened with pain, witnessing Luana clinging to Dorian, their bodies pressed close. A surge of rage erupted within him."Because I love her!"Cline's voice trembled yet rang out loud and clear, eight years of pent-up emotions bursting forth like a flood breaking its dam.Dorian, noticing the bloodshot eyes and the fervor in Cline's gaze, felt a flicker of realization. He glanced down at Luana in his arms.Her expression was calm, a faint smile curling her lips as if she had just heard an absurd joke, detached and indifferent.Not only did Dorian not l

    Dorian rolled his eyes at the scene and impatiently pushed open the car door, stepping out to approach the Bugatti.He bent down and knocked on the window, "Dorothy, get out now."Luana, upon hearing Dorian's voice, froze for a moment before pushing away from Cline, who was still kissing her.Her breathing was slightly labored as she coldly instructed, "Open the door. My husband's here!"Cline's body stiffened. He averted his gaze from Luana and slowly looked at the man outside.Dorian, dressed in a gray suit, was impeccably neat. His handsome face and aristocratic demeanor made him look distinguished and aloof. Cline didn't care about Dorian's appearance, but he was annoyed that Dorian had called her Dorothy, not Luana.Cline swiftly fastened Luana's seatbelt and started the car, speeding out of the parking lot without another word.Dorian watched the Bugatti speed away, a look of frustration crossing his face.He muttered tha

    Cline turned on the air conditioning, leaned sideways, and drew closer to Luana.His long, thick lashes lowered as he gazed at the petite Luana, his eyes revealing a longing he had never shown before."Luana..."He uttered her name as if it had taken all his strength.Luana opened her mouth to retort, but Cline suddenly gripped the back of her head with one hand, pressing her into his embrace.He whispered into her ear, "I... miss you so much."For three years, he had thought of her obsessively, to the point of madness, sleeplessness, and even hallucinations from medication.Now that he had found her alive and well, how could he let her go so easily?A flicker of disbelief crossed Luana's previously calm face, followed by a cold sneer in her heart.Would Cline truly miss her? He had never cared before. How could he miss her now?Was it because she was gone, and he couldn't find anyone to replace Runa, that he reme

    For the past three years, his heart had felt hollow, a persistent ache that never truly subsided.Now, in this moment of holding Luana close, his restless heart finally found its resting place.To Cline, having someone he longed for still alive was like reclaiming what had been lost.He held Luana tightly, his throat constricting with emotion, unable to utter a word, wishing only to merge her into his very being and feel her presence undeniably.Luana, however, was perplexed by Cline's behavior.It was uncharacteristic of him—cold and distant at their airport encounter, avoiding even a glance, yet now he was uncharacteristically intimate.She wondered if the three years apart had taken a toll on his mental state.Frowning, she struggled to push him away, but Cline easily restrained her wrist with one hand.He spun her around, pinning her against the car door.Before she could speak, Cline captured her lips in a kis

    Luana stood outside the door, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes as she contemplated Clarissa's changes over the years.Suddenly, the door creaked open from the inside.Angela, holding a child of about three years old, came into view.The little kid clutched a toy car, its round eyes wide with curiosity as it stared at Luana.Luana's gaze shifted between Angela and the child, a fleeting thought crossing her mind that Angela might be staying with Clarissa and Albert.Suppressing her doubts, she asked, "I'm a friend of Clarissa's. Is she home?"Angela froze, sizing up Luana from head to toe, unable to recognize the elegantly dressed woman with delicate makeup before her.It wasn't until Luana spoke that Angela's pupils contracted sharply, her face draining of color, her lips trembling as she stammered, "Y-y-y-o-u..."Then, as if she had seen a ghost, Angela retreated backward with the child, screaming at th

    Dorian had just retrieved his suitcase from the baggage carousel when he spotted Luana approaching.He frowned slightly, his tone laced with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you to wait over there?"Luana rolled her eyes at him. "I was afraid you might grab the wrong luggage."With that, she slipped her phone into her small bag, took the suitcase from Dorian's hand, and began to wheel it away.Dorian, with his long legs, effortlessly kicked another large suitcase toward Luana. "This one's yours too," he said.Luana, though inwardly exasperated, shot a glare at Dorian's retreating figure and pushed both suitcases out of the airport behind him.Once outside, Luana handed the suitcase back to Dorian. "I'm going to meet a friend. Let's part ways here."Dorian tilted his head slightly, regarding her with an expression that seemed to question her intelligence. "You think I came all this way just to see you off?"Luana was speechless again

    This meant he was giving her only one chance. If she refused, she would never be able to return home.Luana felt as if a heavy stone had settled in her heart, making it hard to breathe and preventing her from making a decision quickly.Dorian maintained his domineering posture, observing the shifting expressions on her face with a smug confidence, waiting leisurely for her response.Five minutes passed, and Luana took a deep breath before nodding. "Alright, I agree, but it's only a marriage in name."Dorian let out another faint sneer. "What else did you expect?"He picked up the diamond ring, nodded his chin, and gestured for Luana to extend her hand.Reluctantly, she stretched out her hand, and Dorian casually placed the ring on her right ring finger.After slipping the ring onto her finger, Dorian released her hand and looked into her eyes with his deep, dark gaze. "We go to the church tomorrow," he said.With that, he pocketed Dorothy's passport and turned to leave.Luana raised he
