"Alpha Thor, do you want such an ugly werewolf?" Patrick said contemptuously. Patrick didn't want to made Thor unhappy in front of so many werewolves. It was not worth it to offend Thor for Gloria. He was completely unaware of his concern for Gloria. He only knew that he would never let other werewolves take Gloria. "Impossible. No one in Fittro Club is ugly." Thor smiled, "Alpha Patrick, I know that you have good taste, so the employees here are all beautiful." "You don't believe me?" Patrick's lips curled into a faint smile as his eyes rested on Gloria's face. "Go wash it off." Gloria was about to stand up. "Crawl," Thor said from the side. Gloria's hands, which were on the ground, clenched... She roared in her heart, 'Hold on! Gloria! This is nothing compared to three years of imprisonment!' Gloria crawled to the bathroom in the private room obediently. After she washed her face, she walked to the door of the bathroom and opened it. "Such a we
Christine left her office and saw Gloria standing at the door. She pondered for a moment and said, "Gloria, come in and change your clothes. There is a private bathroom here. Go take a shower." "Thank you, Christine." Gloria was tired at the moment and needed a rest, so she did not refuse Christine. She watched Gloria walk into the office, then Christine returned to the private room where Patrick and Thor were. She was about to report her work to Patrick. As Christine walked into the room, she heard Thor discussing with the members of the Black Moon Pack about what they did to Gloria just now. Thor's laugh was so piercing that Christine could not help frowning. "Alpha Patrick, you have a great club. Why do you look unhappy? If this club was mine, I would have lived here!" Thor said with a smile. The mockery of Gloria by Thor and other werewolves made Patrick feel unhappy. In his opinion, Gloria was the one only he could bully. "Alpha Thor, I'm flattered. T
Patrick was amused by Gloria's pained look. He said maliciously, "Gloria, you have been quite an eye-opener for me today. I wonder if your brother would be mad if he saw your pitiful look?" 'You can't do this!' Gloria was about to say it. With her nails stabbing into her palm, she immediately sobered up. She dared not to look at Patrick in the mirror, afraid that he would see her through. "Mr. Hammond, I don't have a brother anymore. I'm a rogue and was once locked up in a werewolf prison. The Silver Spring Pack wouldn't accept a murderer." Patrick did not expect Gloria to say anything like that. For a moment, he was stunned, then he laughed. "Gloria, I underestimated you before. You are so cold-blooded. No wonder you committed such a crime." Gloria swallowed Patrick's cold words. It was like a knife to her heart; it shook her very soul. She thought, 'Cold-blooded? Patrick, didn't you make me that way?' "But I'm curious. Since you have such a cold heart, I wonder i
The thought of death struck Gloria. Then, the girl named Mica appeared in her mind again. She regained consciousness in an instant. She could not die like this, because she still needed to fulfill Mica's wish. Gloria opened her eyes slowly, and the room was bright as usual. Gloria was like a rag-doll without a temper. She was reviled viciously and never said anything back. However, she underestimated those girls. Ruby stepped forward and pushed Gloria. She said disdainfully, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Since you are working here as a call girl, don't put on an innocent look. When you were begging for mercy from those guests yesterday, you were not so lofty!" After saying this, Ruby was still not satisfied. She stretched out her foot and kicked Gloria. Gloria's legs were injured before, so she fell to the ground. "Ruby, go easy on her. How can you kick her like that?" Someone said to her. No matter how much they enjoyed taunting her, it was only verbal, a
The man's question made Gloria silent. She was not good at anything. Yuna immediately said, "Mr. White, why don't you ask her to sing? With her voice, it must be fun when she sings." Gloria's vocal cords were damaged, so her voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Therefore, she seldom spoke, and if she did, she would speak in a low voice. "Her voice is so unpleasant when she talks. Can she sing?" Yuna sat on the man's thigh and flirted with him. "Mr. White, you can enjoy great voices in other places, but her voice is unique and you'll have fun. Just ask her to sing for you. If you dislike it, we can cover our ears with earplugs." "Her voice is so unpleasant. Are you sure you want to hear her sing?" said the man. "That is exactly the reason that I want her to sing. I am curious how unbearable it will be." Yuna said as she leaned her plump chest against the man's arm. "Mr. White, what do you say?" The man was pleased by Yuna's service. He didn't care if Gloria agreed with it
Lillian's voice was sharp, and Gloria's eyes rested on Lillian, who was emotional. She said calmly, "If you don't need money, then why do you work in the Fittro Club?" She was just stating a fact, and there was no emotion in her tone. "I..." Lillian looked embarrassed, but soon, she said angrily, "I came to Fittro Club to be a waitress. You know the situation of my family. I needed money to pay for my tuition and living expenses." Lillian stared at Gloria as if she was looking at trash. She continued, "I'm not like you! I won't do anything just to make money. Unlike you, I have limits!" Gloria smiled. Lillian said that she had no limits, but that wasn't true. All she wanted was to stay alive. "Stop smiling." Lillian stomped her feet angrily and shouted, "Gloria, listen to me. It will be meaningless to make money at the cost of your dignity. People will despise you and no one will look at you with respect!" After she finished speaking, Lillian snorted coldly and looked
Noticing Gloria's suppressed emotions, Christine felt distressed. Gloria continued, "They humiliated me and made me crawl on the ground and bark like a dog, and they scolded me with filthy words, but it was nothing compared to what I had been through. In prison, I was stripped naked and thrown into a cage. The high-pressure water gun was aimed directly at my naked body. So what? Christine, I went through unbearable pain. Mica died. She died to protect me. I owe her so much. Therefore, I must live and fulfill her unrealized dream." Christine listened to Gloria's incoherent narrative and she vented years of grievances. She spilled out the secret hidden in her heart. Who was Mica? And what was her dream? Although Christine did not know the answers, she could guess that Gloria considered Mica more important than her own life. The sun went down, and the afterglow of the sunset shone into the ward. Christine stood up and glanced at the bed as Gloria was asleep. Christine d
Patrick looked angrily at Gloria, who was curled up in the quilt. His face was frighteningly cold. He cursed inwardly, 'Damn woman! She is indeed avoiding me!' Patrick looked at her curled body under the quilt and noticed that Gloria was shivering. "Our mate is weak. You should hold her and comfort her instead of scaring her," Leo said. "I didn't scare her!" Patrick responded to his wolf angrily. After Gloria hid under the quilt, she began to regret it. If Patrick wanted to punish her, it would be pointless to hide, even if she escaped to outer space. What was the point of hiding in the quilt? Patrick pulled the quilt. His voice became bone-chilling as he asked, "You hid from me." "No!" Gloria hurriedly said, "I didn't, Mr. Hammond." Patrick thought, 'It is a lie! 'She is avoiding me! 'But...' "What happened to your throat?" Patrick asked in confusion. "I was sick, and my throat hurt." Gloria lowered her eyelids, refusing to say more. "Are you afraid of m
Eva saw that she couldn't hide the truth anymore, so she told Clarissa what had happened, but she didn't mention the heart failure, only saying that Luana was in a coma.Hearing that Luana was in a coma, Clarissa nearly lost her balance and fell.She steadied herself against the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Dr. Woodward, please tell me the address of the hospital..."Eva gave Clarissa the address and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, she's in my hospital and I'll keep an eye on her. You should prepare some clothes for her to change into. She'll probably need to be hospitalized for a while."Eva's calm voice gave Clarissa some strength.She steadied herself, thanked Eva, and hung up the phone. Then she stumbled into Luana's bedroom.She quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, grabbed some toiletries, and hurriedly drove to the hospital.Eva was in the middle of giving Luana a detailed examination when she saw Clariss
Clarissa, Clarissa…Luana heard Clarissa's crying voice in a daze. The sound tugged at her heart, making it impossible for her to keep going.She stood in the mist, slowly turning her head, just in time to see Clarissa running toward her."Luana, don't leave. Come back. I still have so much to tell you…"Luana opened her mouth to respond to Clarissa, but no sound came out.Then, fresh oxygen flowed in, easing her suffocated heart.Gradually, the mist dissipated and Clarissa vanished. Luana fell into a deep coma."Dr. Woodward, her heart has started beating again!""Hurry, keep her on oxygen!"Eva saw the flickering data on the ECG monitor and felt her legs go weak.This was the first time she had been so anxious about a patient, fearing that she might die.Her hands were still trembling, too weak to even lift."Dr. Roffe , how's the situation with the back of her head?"Dr. Roffe
Cline stared coldly at Sidney, his face full of dissatisfaction."Cline, you used to... protect Valda like this too," Sidney said, eyeing him suspiciously up and down.In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions was Valda.Back then, he had stood up for Valda just like this, even going to any lengths to defend her!Sidney's words hit a sore spot for Cline, making his expression even darker and more irritable."What do you want to get out of this?""I want her dead! Either that, or sell her to a club and make her life a living hell! Otherwise, I'll tell Auntie that you have a special relationship with her!"Upon hearing this, Cline slightly tilted his head and reluctantly slapped Luana.The moment the slap landed, Luana, who was unprepared, lost her balance and fell straight backward—This time, she wasn't so lucky. There was a nail where she fell, which pierced right into the back
The man had a face with sharp angles, like it was chiseled out of stone, and eyes that were impossible to read.He wore a black suit that accentuated his lean and upright figure, exuding an aura as dazzling as the stars yet tinged with melancholy.After steadying Runa, he didn't immediately remove his hand from her waist. Instead, he looked down at Luana coldly."You dare to lay a hand on my fiancée? Who the fuck are you?"Luana's heart, which had been racing and nearly suffocating with tension, suddenly chilled at the man's indifferent voice.Drenched, with a swollen cheek and disheveled hair, she felt more humiliated by his words than by her appearance.She hugged her shivering arms, lowered her head, and stared lifelessly at her toes, awaiting judgment from these powerful, condescending people."Cline, what are you doing here?"Runa asked, surprised yet more shocked that Cline hadn't let go of her.Cline was always so busy handling affairs—why would he show up at a mall, and in the
The entrance of the mall was crowded with people coming and going.If someone took a photo or a video, it might harm Luana's reputation.Although the Moriarty family had enough PR skills to deal with the public opinion, it was better not to cause trouble.Thinking of this, Sidney immediately withdrew her hand and gave a signal to the bodyguards behind her.The bodyguards quickly took out a handkerchief, covered Luana's mouth with it, and dragged her towards the restroom.Luana was almost thrown into the toilet stall by the bodyguards. They didn't give her a chance to escape and pinned her down tightly.Sidney and Runa walked in gracefully in high heels.They looked down at Luana as if they were symbols of power."Sidney, is she the one who disrespected you at the hospital?" Runa asked."Yes, she dared to mock me and even threatened to call the police on me. How dare she!" Sidney replied.Runa also glared at Luana fiercely."Luana, I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Do you want to d
When she saw Gath come out with an angry look on his face, completely different from the cheerful appearance she had seen before, it seemed as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them.Luana did not ask about their relationship, pretending to know nothing, and took out the swelling-reducing medicine to give it to Eva."Eva, apply this. You're so beautiful. You don't want to be scared, do you?" Seeing the injury on Eva's face, Luana felt guilty, as if she were the reason Eva got hit."Thank you," Eva accepted the swelling-reducing patch and applied it to her face, then looked at Luana, who was pretending nothing had happened."You know Gath, don't you?" Eva thought that since Luana and Calvert seemed to have a good relationship, and Gath was Calvert's friend, Luana must know him.Luana nodded but did not ask any more questions.Eva, however, did not mind and openly said, "He's like my brother, but without blood ties. However... the grudges between us run deep."As for how deep th
After getting some anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medicine from the nurse, Luana returned.She pushed open the door to the dean's office just in time to see Gath pinning Eva against the wall. Luana froze for a moment before quickly backing out and closing the door behind her.She sat down on a chair outside, propping her chin on her hand, her mind racing but unable to make sense of the tangled relationships between them.Inside the dean's office, Eva had regained her composure the moment she saw Luana. She forcefully pushed Gath away."Stay away from me..."Gath, pushed back, straightened his disheveled clothes but kept his eyes fixed on Eva."Does it hurt?" he asked, touching the swollen cheek where she had been slapped, though his eyes held a mocking smile."I thought you'd be quite capable after leaving the Tittlington family, but it turns out you've just latched onto Cline. Though the price seems a bit too high."Eva was
When Luana heard Sidney's words, she felt insulted, while Eva was filled with fear.Eva quickly stepped forward, blocking Luana and apologizing on her behalf, "Miss Preston, this patient didn't know who you were, which is why she spoke to you like that. I'm really sorry. Please, just let her go."Eva's submissive pleading made Luana feel even more guilty, and she started to say, "Eva..."She wanted to tell her not to lower herself for her sake, but Eva interrupted her, "Miss, you're just here to see me for treatment. We're not close. If you say anything else that upsets Miss Preston, I won't treat you anymore!"Eva was trying to distance herself from Luana, seemingly to protect her.Luana understood her intentions and kept quiet.Although she thought the woman in front of her was too arrogant, Eva seemed terrified of her. To avoid causing more trouble for Eva, Luana gritted her teeth and endured it.Seeing this, Sidney's lips curled i
Luana nodded in agreement. "The key issue still lies with his family."This realization struck Clarissa, who hurriedly said, "I'll go to his hometown and ask some neighbors. That should clear things up."Luana quickly grabbed her hand, warning, "Don't go alone. It's too dangerous."Who knew what the situation was like in Albert's hometown? If Clarissa went alone and got into trouble, what would happen?Luana tried to calm her down, saying, "Don't worry. I think Angela can't keep her cool for long. When we find a chance when Albert isn't around, you just provoke her a bit. She might just lay all her cards on the table."Clarissa thought about it and found it made sense.In the ward just now, Angela had almost lost her temper several times. If it weren't for Albert holding her back, she might have already jumped up and confronted Clarissa.It would be safer to approach Angela when Albert wasn't around than to go to his hometown alone.
