  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

  • Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King   Chapter 511

    After blocking and deleting Clarissa, Gehrmann casually threw his phone aside.At that moment, Cline entered the villa from outside. Seeing the phone on the ground, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed."Cline, you're back?"Gehrmann got up from the sofa. Seeing Cline drenched, his face filled with worry. "Cline, why are you soaked like that?"Cline ignored him, took off his suit jacket, and accepted a towel from a servant.He leisurely dried his hair while asking Gehrmann, "Why are you at my place?"Gehrmann sighed and replied with disinterest, "The weekend was too boring, so I came over for a couple of drinks."Cline cast him a cold glance. "I don't have time to drink with you."Cline had no interest in engaging with Gehrmann. After drying his hair, he headed straight for the bathroom.Watching Cline's noble and aloof figure disappear upstairs, Gehrmann let out a relieved yet resigned sigh.Over the past few yea

    The weight of these revelations pressed heavily on Luana's heart, like a stone compressing her lungs.Clarissa understood—Cline had taken Luana away and convinced her of his love.But for Luana, who had brushed with death, this belated realization came too late.Clarissa gently patted her back. "Now that you know he loves you, what do you plan to do?"Tears streamed down Luana's face. "I've forgiven him, but I've also turned him away. Clarissa, he and I—we're impossible."She had made her decision before learning the truth, a decision sealed with a promise.The past, with its unavoidable regrets, had been left behind three years prior.Back then, they had plenty of time yet never once voiced their love...He misunderstood her cries for Albion in her sleep as indifference.Her heart, chilled by his emotional distance, never found the courage to speak.Their relationship was flawed from the start—a

    Russell sighed as he watched the bodyguard follow Luana at a respectful distance.Cline loved her so deeply yet chose to let her go. Russell could only imagine the pain in his heart.He offered Cline a pack of cigarettes, "Take these to ease your mind..."Cline glanced at them indifferently, his expression returning to its usual cold detachment. "Throw them away," he said.He no longer needed such crutches. Some people, once buried in his heart, would accompany him for life.Russell was surprised that Mr. Moriarty, who had relied on smoke and alcohol for three years, could quit so easily.He glanced at Cline, who was propping himself up with one hand on the car window, gazing out sideways. In a daze, he seemed to see the Mr. Moriarty of the past.Before he met Luana, Cline didn't touch cigarettes or alcohol. He was aloof and dignified, indifferent and disdainful towards everyone and everything.Now, though scarred by love, Clin

    Luana slowly lifted her head and looked at the exquisitely handsome face before her.Just like that rainy night eight years ago, he had come to her side in her most helpless moment.He held a large black umbrella over her head, as if shielding her from all the storm's fury.As before, he stretched out his slender hand, signaling for her to rise with his assistance.But this time, Luana did not place her hand in his palm as she had eight years prior.Instead, she merely studied his scarred right hand, and tears inexplicably fell.Cline saw this and bent down, kneeling on one knee before her. With his long fingers, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes."Don't cry. From now on, I will not disturb you again," he said.After speaking, he thrust the umbrella into her hand and rose to leave.Watching his tall and straight figure disappear into the rain, Luana's eyes welled up once more."Cline, tha

    "He wasn't afraid to defy his mother for you, but he didn't want you dragged into his chaotic world, exposed to the same dangers he faced. And back then, thinking you didn't love him, he didn't want to burden you further."Still, he never expected that slap would cost you your life..."Eva paused, her voice slightly husky as she continued, "When you called him before you passed away and he didn't answer, it was because he was at a closed-door meeting at NASA in the US."Also, he didn't delete your number—he had it memorized."And he never slept with Runa. She sneaked into his Houston house on her own.""Cline never treated you as a substitute. From the beginning to the end, the person he loved was only you!""Enough!"Luana suddenly interrupted, her clear eyes now bloodshot.Her body began to shake uncontrollably, as if she had been struck by something.She grabbed her phone from the table and stood up to leave.

    Luana had anticipated Eva would speak well of Cline, but instead, she was asked about a long-past event.She did remember. The youth, around Albion's age and covered in blood, had appeared out of nowhere. No one knew how he'd been injured.How could Eva know about him? Had she witnessed it too?Luana frowned and asked, "You know him?"Eva nodded. "I not only know him but also worked with him for years."Realizing who he was, Luana's expression darkened slightly.Cline had mentioned about ten years ago, but she had cut him off, not wanting to listen.Now, Eva brought it up again. Could it be that she wanted to reveal that the youth back then was none other than Cline?Stirring her coffee, Eva said, "Cline has loved you since that time."Luana was stunned. Eva continued, "Back then, something happened. Cline's childhood friend was tortured to death by his mother.""He defied his mother, but as a student, he was no m
