  Right now, the sound of the hair dryer kept buzzing in Gloria's ears. Just as every night, she sat by the edge of the bed with wet hair, looking down at her nightgown.

  She thought, 'The new nightgown was bought by Patrick, who is holding the hairdryer behind me. It is exquisitely made and very expensive. Yet what makes him think that I like pink? I don't even have the right to choose the color I like.'

  She listened to the sound of the hairdryer while feeling the soft touch on the top of her hair. All of a sudden, a lifeless, silent smile appeared on her lowered face, and tears glistened in her eyes. She felt ridiculous, for she was like a doll he dressed up.

  "My hair is dry already," she said in a low voice, still subconsciously rejecting his care.

  As Gloria spoke, she unconsciously turned her head away. Patrick, who was behind her, saw each of her actions, which betrayed her and revealed her true feelings.

  Patrick felt disappointed, and his hear

      Patrick stared in disbelief at Gloria, who at this time was so charming, but so strange to him. His eyes were full of pity.  Gloria gritted her teeth. She was a sensitive and delicate person, so she could tell the emotions in Patrick's eyes. However, she could not believe that she was the reason for such changes.  After all, it was Patrick who pushed her into today's miserable state step by step. He was the chief culprit of everything.  "Mr. Hammond." She approached him again and wrapped her arms around his neck seductively. Right now, she was half kneeling on the bed with her hands around his neck and her head slightly tilted.  "You are my sugar daddy. I still owe you a lot of money. Mr. Hammond, you just lie on my bed. Isn't it a sign that you want me?" she deliberately lowered her voice and said.  She tried to ignore her feelings, seducing Patrick while mentally brainwashing herself again and again.  She thought, 'I am cheap in his eyes. Doin

      Patrick felt great satisfaction physically. At that moment, the two climaxed at the same time.  While they were panting, they had physical pleasure, yet their hearts were broken.  "Patrick, I hate you," Gloria said in a hoarse voice.  Patrick's fingertips trembled, but he still reached out to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead.  There seemed to be something inexplicable hidden behind his deep eyes, which confused Gloria. Yet when she looked into his eyes, the familiar pain came from her numb, senseless heart.  Three years ago, a casual gaze from him would give her heartache. She naively thought that he was the mate chosen by the Moon Goddess for her and that they were bound to love each other. She had no idea that he would make her go through such pain.  Patrick stroked her forehead, trying to wipe off her sweat.  "Don't touch me." Gloria patted Patrick's hand off and stared at him, who was on top of her, with cold eyes. "Mr. Hammond,

      "Still trying to get away?" Patrick's magnetic voice was pleasant to hear.  Gloria gritted her teeth. She lowered her eyelids unwillingly to hide the stubbornness in her eyes and said slowly, "What do you want?"  Then she clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "I won't beg you ever again."  "Stubborn," Patrick whispered. His word made Gloria certain that all he wanted was to torture her till she was in despair.  Patrick looked at the woman on the bed and sighed silently. He thought, 'I never want her humbleness or plead.  What I want is the Gloria who loved me more than her life.'  Patrick stuffed her into the quilt and got in as well. He put his arms around her, used his feet to stop her from kicking, and warned her, "You have two choices. You can either go to sleep, or we can do it again. You'll go to sleep when you're exhausted. Which one do you want?"  Gloria was so angry that she kept taking deep breaths. She retorted in a hoarse

      After spanking Gloria, Patrick finally felt that his tight nerves loosened completely.  Gloria was pressed against Patrick's thigh with her back facing upwards. She didn't have time to react until she heard the crisp sounds of slaps. Only then did she realize what was happening.  "Stop! Stop it!" Gloria struggled furiously.  Patrick looked at Gloria and the stubborn expression on her face. His suppressed anger was rekindled.  "Do you dare to do that again?" Patrick asked her.  Suddenly, Gloria felt a sense of absurdity. She thought, 'Isn't spanking only for disobedient children?'  "I'm not a kid. What makes you think you can spank me?" She glared at him, questioning him.  "Was I wrong?" His eyebrows were thick, and when he raised one side of his eyebrows, he gave others the impression that he was casual and effortless.  Yet in fact, his heart was beating fast right now. When he saw Gloria's legs hanging in the air, he was utterly fri

      Thinking of Gloria, Ellison shook his head. He thought, 'I'm not that shameless. She has been pushed to the brink of survival, and now Damon still wants me to kill her. That poor woman? I'm not that terrible.'  At the other end of the line, Damon kept cursing Gloria.  Hearing Damon's vicious words, Ellison felt irritated for no reason. He raised his hand, pulled at his hair, and said impatiently, "Enough!"  He roared, "Beta Damon, I will say this again. If you want to kill someone, do it yourself. I won't stop you or help you."  Ellison thought, 'Beta Damon got one thing right. If Gloria died, it would be good for me, too.  The truth of three years ago will never come out.'  "Ellison, you must help me. Or I'll tell Alpha Patrick what you did three years ago." Damon was flustered.  "Beta Damon, so, you knew Gloria was innocent." Ellison chuckled.  Damon shut his mouth at once after hearing Ellison's words.  From the moment he th

      Patrick turned his head and glanced down at Hank, who was on one knee. Patrick asked, "I told you to look up things from three years ago. Hank, do you still think no one knows about it?"  Patrick used his finger to tap the report on the desk and narrowed his eyes angrily. "I think they were onto you the second you made a move. See? The proof here is perfect."  Patrick thought, 'There's one thing that baffles me. Why did Grandpa make such a decision three years ago?  I'm so confused.  What happened three years ago did bother me. But it was related to the whole pack, and Grandpa didn't need to kill a member of the pack and frame Gloria from the Silver Spring Pack no matter what.'  "You may leave." Patrick raised his arm and gestured for Hank to leave.  Hank wanted to say something, but the second he looked up, he met Patrick's gaze. "Hank, I know what you are thinking, but this has become more than schemes between women."  "Then what about M

      Patrick threw her onto the bed. Before Gloria could sit up, the bed sank in beside her. She looked up. Patrick was sitting on the edge of the bed, and one of his hands was lifting her left leg.  Gloria's face suddenly turned pale. She couldn't help but look toward the door.  There were so many people at the door. Did he want to have sex in front of everyone?  With such a possibility in mind, Gloria's face turned sullen. She stretched out her leg to kick Patrick.  Then, Patrick tightened his grip on her ankle.  He turned his head and glanced at her with a warning in his eyes.  Gloria's heart skipped a beat. She gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to kick him.  Patrick held her ankle with his slender fingers and slowly lifted her foot.  This action made Gloria feel embarrassed. She bit her lower lip, and her face blanched.  'Patrick, if you want to humiliate me, there's nothing I can do!' Gloria was desperate.  At thi

      "Miss Carter!" Samantha wanted to shove the dress into Gloria's hands.  Gloria found the dress revolting, and she waved her hands in the air involuntarily.  Then something unexpected happened. While struggling, Gloria pushed Samantha too hard and made her fall to the ground.  Everyone quieted down instantly.  Gloria opened her mouth and wanted to apologize. She didn't mean to. She just didn't want the dress. She felt bad and asked, "Are you OK?"  She walked over and offered her hand, trying to help Samantha up from the ground.  Samantha didn't fall hard, but she landed on the ground in an embarrassing way.  Two buttons of her shirt fell off, revealing half of her fair bosom.  Samantha looked down at her neckline and pulled a long face.  "Miss Carter! This is too much!" She screamed and stood up. Unfortunately, she stood up too hastily, so her shirt split further.  Everyone was stunned, including Gloria.  Samantha, i

    "So you did plan this with him!" Cline's cold, emotionless voice came from above Luana's head, making her pause for a moment."I didn't.""Then how did he know you were here?""I'm not sure, maybe it's because..." Her explanation was cut short by Cline's cold interruption."Stop making excuses. Getting your bag back wasn't just to contact him, was it?"Seeing Cline's stubborn and indifferent expression, Luana fell silent.He had already made up his mind that she had contacted Calvert to pick her up. No amount of explanation would convince him; it was futile."He comes to pick you up as soon as you're recovering. If that's not premeditated, then what is it?" Cline's distrust and relentless questioning left Luana feeling exhausted.She took a deep breath and replied indifferently, "Yes, I did arrange with him. The day I could walk again, I asked him to come and get me."Hearing her admission, Cline's lips curled into a col

    "Remember to use the scar-removing medicine," Eva said. With her delicate and elegant appearance, she was the epitome of beauty—her face couldn't afford to be marred by scars.Eva nodded in agreement and left with her medical bag.As the dean of a private hospital, her schedule was usually quite busy.Had it not been for Cline, it would have been nearly impossible to get an appointment with her.Thinking of Cline, Luana felt a lump in her chest.She couldn't understand his intentions. He was about to get married to his fiancée, yet he kept her locked up at home.Did he want Runa and yet couldn't bear to let go of her?If that was the case, Cline was being incredibly greedy.Luana glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows. At some point, the sky had darkened and a heavy downpour had begun.The weather matched her mood perfectly, prompting a deep sigh from her.As she sat on the bed, hugging her legs and

    "Only a day apart, and you're already missing each other so much. It seems your old flame has been rekindled?"Faced with his sarcastic remark, Luana didn't bother to explain. She simply lowered her long eyelashes, hiding the discomfort in her eyes.Seeing her silence, Cline's face turned even colder. His grip on her chin tightened uncontrollably."Didn't you say you didn't love him anymore? Why are you rekindling your old relationship?"Luana endured the pain in her chin and forced a smile at Cline."If I can be your lover for years without loving you, why can't I rekindle my relationship with him?"It wasn't clear whether it was the first part of her sentence that choked Cline or the latter that left him speechless, but it made him so angry that he couldn't find words.Luana glanced up at him and saw his usually frosty, charming eyes gradually turn bloodshot. Her heart jolted, but she quickly suppressed the involuntary feelings that

    Calvert seemed to have lost the strength to speak, only managing a faint nod.Clarissa knew his stubborn nature from childhood. Trying to persuade him to leave would be futile. So she steeled herself and told him the truth."Every time Luana is taken away by Cline, she won't be back in less than two or three days. You can't just keep squatting here, can you?"Judging by his reaction, it seemed he already knew who Luana had sold herself to back then.Since that was the case, there was no harm in telling him the truth. He wouldn't stand a chance against that man anyway.Clarissa's words hit Calvert like a sledgehammer, delivering a fatal blow."Every time?" he asked incredulously, his bloodshot eyes slowly turning towards Clarissa. "For these five years... she's been with Cline?""Mm-hmm," Clarissa replied indifferently. That single word, however, almost caused Calvert to collapse.He had thought she had only sold herself once, b

    Hearing this, Luana felt even more guilty. "Clarissa, he got hurt trying to save me. Could you tell him to go back to the hospital first? I'll come to see him in a few days."Clarissa latched onto the key phrase. "Save you? What's going on?"Luana briefly explained the incident with Travis's private revenge.Upon learning the truth, Clarissa shouted that she wanted to teach Travis a lesson.However, upon hearing that Cline had already dealt with Travis, she immediately fell silent."So... you're with Cline now?"Luana could only nod in affirmation, not daring to hide anything from Clarissa.Clarissa sighed deeply and muttered, "What a complicated relationship," before hanging up the phone.She put her phone in her pocket and, carrying a large pot of corn chowder, walked towards the entrance of the small apartment.She had been excited to bring the soup to Luana to help her regain her strength, but as soon as she stepped

    After Eva left, Cline glanced towards the guest bedroom and noticed the door was ajar. His expression darkened immediately.He unconsciously quickened his pace and entered the room, only to see Luana adjusting the IV drip.Her small, palm-sized face showed no significant emotional fluctuation. She remained as gentle and well-behaved as before.She even smiled at him when he entered, which dispelled his doubts.The volume of his conversation with Eva hadn't been loud enough for her to overhear.Cline subconsciously let out a breath of relief and sat down beside her bed, asking, "Feeling better?"Luana nodded and replied, "A bit better."Then, they fell into silence. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.Seeing that Cline had no intention of leaving, Luana couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Moriarty, could you help me find my bag?"Her bag had been left in the banquet hall at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Her phone and other belon

    Cline finally put down the vegetable salad and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth.In the five years she had been with him, he had never taken care of her like this. Luana was utterly shocked.She stared blankly at the man in front of her with her clear, innocent eyes, feeling as if all of this was surreal.Cline, however, didn't seem to find anything amiss. He calmly wiped her mouth with the napkin.After cleaning her up, he took out his phone and called Eva. He asked Eva to bring medical equipment to the villa.Hearing this, Luana quickly snapped out of her daze and said, "I'll be fine with just some rest. There's no need to trouble Dr. Eva."Cline glanced at her coldly, his tone domineering and brooking no refusal. "Whether it's troublesome or not, I'm the one who decides."Luana had no choice but to keep quiet and let him arrange everything...When Eva pushed a cart full of instruments into the room, Cline

    Cline coldly interrupted him, "No meeting."Russell immediately seemed a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Moriarty, he is, after all, the CEO of Coburn Group. Right now, people from Coburn Group are constantly asking me for him. I can't keep him locked up forever..."Russell's meaning was clear—he could withstand the pressure for a while, but not for long.Cline's face darkened as he thought for a few seconds, and finally relented, "Let him go."He then hung up the phone directly and looked at Luana, who was examining him.In fact, Luana had already guessed who he was talking about and didn't ask.As long as he was willing to release Calvert, she could thank him later once she had recovered a bit.Cline stared at the IV drip for a while until the liquid in the bottle was completely gone, then he helped her remove the needle.Luana glanced at the three bottles of medicine still on the side.
