  Patrick returned to the Black Thorn Pack at night. His eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were stained with early morning dew.

  In Alpha's villa, he found Alex who was playing chess.

  "Why did you do that?" Patrick's expression was calm. He looked at Alex indifferently.

  Ellison had been fighting with Patrick in Waikiki Beach a few days ago. But now, he was playing chess with Alex leisurely.

  "Since you want to give up everything for the sake of Gloria, do I still need to leave the Hammond Group to you? You are not my only grandson," Alex answered Patrick while focusing on the chessboard.

  Patrick was not angry. He seemed to be measuring Alex's words.

  "Up to you." After a moment, Patrick said nonchalantly, "I'll wait and see if you are capable enough to take away the Hammond Group and the Black Thorn Pack from me."

  He had worked day and night all these years to avoid the loneliness in his heart. He focused on expanding the territory bu

      After the final stake was announced, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Patrick would make a comeback. If so, they would suffer.  People looked at Patrick, who was once high and mighty, and noticed that his face had become paler.  "Patrick, since we have the result, you should withdraw from the position of the CEO of the Hammond Group." Someone stood up excitedly and scolded Patrick, "Pack up your personal belongings and leave the company immediately."  "Who said that the decision was final?" In the conference room, a voice suddenly sounded. "I haven't voted yet."  Alex, Ellison, and the others in the conference room turned to look at the person who spoke.  "Mark? What are you doing?" Damon was the first to speak.  Mark stood up with a smile. He walked behind Patrick and said, "Did I say that I would take Alex's side?"  Other shareholders felt it ridiculous.  They complained in their hearts, 'Aren't you the

      On the other end of the line, Gloria pursed her lips stubbornly. She had begged him too many times in her life already. Those three years of quiet life had almost made her forget who Patrick was and who she was.  She mockingly glanced at Camille aside, who had dressed appropriately. Right now, Camille was nervously watching her every move.  Camille came over as soon as she heard of Gloria's whereabouts, but Camille's anxiety had nothing to do with Gloria at all.  Gloria lowered her eyes, which were full of loneliness and sarcasm.  She wanted to pull herself out of the abyss, but every time she thought that she could finally escape, she would be trapped again.  All of them were holding the things that were most precious to her. They ignored her countess wounds and kept hurting her again and again.  Gloria felt that her throat was getting more and more uncomfortable. She asked in a hoarse voice, "So what if I beg you? How should I beg you?"

      The Carter Group was going down!  The news recently went viral in Gabbs.  It had been a topic of conversation at every business cocktail party lately, including the one Mike was attending today.  He smoked at the banquet. He loathed such gatherings, yet no matter how much he disliked them, he had to put up with them.  "I have something to do. I'll take my leave now," Mike said and was about to leave. He opened the door of the room and wanted to go out.  Before he walked out, he stopped, because he saw a familiar figure in the corridor.  He couldn't be sure and called out tentatively, "Mrs. Hammond?"  The person didn't respond.  The men at the table in the room all stopped what they were doing. Instead, they all turned around and looked in one direction.  They thought, 'No way! It can't be Patrick's mate, right?'  Mike ignored the group of half-drunk men behind him. He looked at the woman's back. She was limping slightly t

      "Patrick! You bastard! You promised me!" Gloria's eyes turned red.  The pain in Patrick's eyes almost froze. He focused on doing what he was doing.  Suddenly, Gloria's eyes widened in fear. Her body was shivering all over.  She felt a sudden chill down her back since her pajamas were lifted.  She screamed with all her strength, and her voice was harsh and unpleasant, "Patrick! I hate you!"  Patrick's eyes were full of pain.  He lowered his head abruptly and kissed her passionately on the scar on the back of her waist. He would rather dig out his heart to fill the missing flesh on the scar.  Gloria struggled even harder, but the more she struggled, the more passionately Patrick kissed her.  "Patrick! I hate you! Can't you hear me?" She twisted her waist frantically, trying to avoid his endless kiss.  Patrick remained silent. What he wanted was not just her body.  He wanted her to respond to him.  He admitted that he

      Mandy, who was in the driver's seat, opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't utter a word to comfort Gloria. She knew Gloria too well, which was why she felt no need or words to comfort Gloria.  The Carter Group had many problems. Maybe they had been overlooked, or maybe Alger didn't think they were serious.  Mandy was a little distressed for Gloria, who was in the back seat. When Gloria was busy, she was working in an almost suicidal way.  Mandy figured that she was supposed to hate Patrick. After all, he was the one who forced an outgoing woman bit by bit till she was cornered.  In all of Gabbs, Patrick was the only person who could drive Gloria into a corner.  But now, Mandy felt grateful for Patrick. At least he would come in time to pick Gloria up for lunch and dinner, or Gloria would be too busy to eat at all.  Mandy accompanied Gloria to work for several days, and Patrick did not appear during this time.  Gloria knew that h

      Although Gloria's voice had long been broken, currently, her voice had reached a new limit. Listening to her speak made one feel like hearing two pieces of coarse sandpaper rubbing against each other.  Anyone would get a sore throat and an itchy mouth while listening to her.  "What do you want?" Stewart frowned and asked in dissatisfaction.  Gloria didn't care about his attitude. She casually took the face powders out of her bag, opened it, and started to touch up her makeup as if no one else was around.  "Seriously? You are still in the mood to fix your makeup now?" Stewart sneered. In fact, he was already dissatisfied.  Gloria turned around and asked him, "Do I look good?"  "Don't go too far!" Stewart clenched his fists.  "If he sees me, he won't be able to move his eyes away from me, right?" Gloria lowered her head slightly and muttered to herself.  Immediately, Stewart felt a lump in his throat and something bitter in his heart.

      Gloria looked stiffly at Patrick in her arms who was asking for help.  The others froze on the spot, watching the strange scene.  "Is that Patrick?" Stewart said skeptically, and everyone present shared the same doubt.  Sean's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly, "Go! Get the pack doctor."  The pack doctor came, but Patrick refused to cooperate. He clutched Gloria's clothes with both hands and refused to let go.  Thus, all the people present looked at Gloria.  "He only listens to you now," Sean said calmly.  Under the gazes of everyone in the room, Gloria compromised and coaxed the child-like Patrick.  After giving Patrick a checkup, the pack doctor said, "Alpha Patrick seems not to remember the past."  Sean was also a medical worker, so he instantly understood what the doctor meant. "Are you saying that he lost his memory?"  "No. Alpha Patrick's IQ and cognition are now no different from that of an eight-year-old

      Gloria drove back. Sitting in the driver's seat, she laughed at herself for having an illusion. Otherwise, how could she see Patrick?  Suddenly, she realized something.  Gloria stepped on the brakes, her body leaning forward instinctively. She stared forward.  The next moment...  She unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and limped forward.  "Patrick! Where have you been? Everyone is worried about you. Do you know that?" Gloria shouted at him with her coarse voice. Her chest heaved violently.  Patrick seemed frightened and stared at her blankly.  "Gloria," Patrick explained, "Hank said that if I behaved, you would come to see me. I waited for a long time, but you didn't come. I miss you so much!"  He looked at a loss and was about to cry. "Have I done something wrong?"  Gloria's heart skipped a beat. An indescribable pain spread through her heart and she was caught off guard.  Before she could say anything, Patrick

    "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.
