  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

      The secretary suddenly stood up. "Sorry, Mandy. Our president said that he wanted to meet Miss Carter alone to seek cooperation this time."  Gloria, Mandy, and the other representatives from the Carter Group all looked at each other in confusion. What a strange request it was!  Mandy was about to say something, but Gloria stopped her. "Take the others out of the meeting room."  "But..." Mandy was worried.  Gloria looked at Mandy with determination in her eyes. "Mandy, you know how important this cooperation is to me."  It was important to her, as well as the Carter Group.  "Let's go," Mandy said to others and took the lead to leave.  In the conference room, only Gloria was left.  In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a man stood silently.  Gloria changed her expression and put on a standard smile. She walked over and stopped three meters away from the man. It was the best social distance. "Hello, Mr. Norman, nice to see you.

      Time ticked by. Gloria raised her wrist and glanced at her watch for the third time. Patrick's eyes were fixed on her.  The ringing sound of the phone broke the strange atmosphere in the room.  Gloria pressed the answer button.  She asked, "Have you arrived?"  On the phone, she could hear Sean's voice together with hurried footsteps. "I can't go. I'll leave Patrick to you for the time being."  Gloria became anxious and called out, "Wait a minute. Leave him to me for the time being? Isn't Hank there?"  "Hank is not free. All his men are busy now."  Gloria laughed out of anger. "What do you mean by that?"  Sean sneered and asked Gloria, "He was shot in Italy. Don't tell me you think it was a coincidence."  "What do you mean?"  "Stewart will stay in Hammond Group. Hank and I are going to Rome. Think about it. He is not short of bodyguards, but why did he still get shot?" Sean said quickly.  Gloria was silent. Although

      The bedroom door suddenly opened. Gloria looked up and saw that Patrick had a poker face and returned with a blanket in his hand.  Without a word, he threw the blanket onto the floor beside her bed and unrolled it silently.  "What are you doing?" She was even more puzzled and asked.  Patrick lay down on the floor and turned his back to her deliberately.  "You are not allowed to sleep here," Gloria said coldly.  Patrick remained silent. Gloria shouted, "Patrick, go out!"  Patrick got up from the blanket and turned to yell at her, "Just send me away tomorrow! I don't care! Don't even think about chasing me away tonight!"  Gloria didn't expect that he dared to yell at her.  "Gloria wants to drive me away. She is sick and no one will take care of her. She is unreasonable!" Patrick shouted again.  Gloria was stunned and didn't know what to say. It was the first time that the eight-year-old Patrick had shouted at her.  She look

      Gloria locked herself in the bedroom for a long time. When she went out, drops of blood were on her pale lips, which betrayed her struggling heart.  Everything returned to the past.  Gloria walked to the living room expressionless and lay on the sofa in silence with a blanket.  Patrick stood uneasily aside. He looked helpless and pitiful.  "From now on, you are not allowed to enter the bedroom," Gloria said coldly.  Patrick panicked. He asked anxiously, "Gloria, did I do something wrong? So, you don't like me anymore."  Gloria looked down at the hem of her clothes in his palm. Mandy's words echoed in her ears.  She reached out and pulled back her clothes and walked back to the bedroom.  She left behind a ruthless back for Patrick. However, when she turned her back to him, she began to shed tears.  Why did she cry?  She didn't want to think about it, nor did she have the strength to think about it.  The night ended s

      Gloria walked home and was thinking about something.  While passing a corner, she was suddenly pulled into an alley by someone.  With no street lights in the alley, it was dark. A few seconds later, Gloria saw several rogues. They surrounded her with baseball bats in their hands.  She became alert and leaned against the wall. "What do you want?"  The rogues looked at each other, laughing and ignoring Gloria's question.  "Do you know me?" Gloria asked calmly and ignored their ridicule.  "You are the eldest daughter of the Carter Group and a rich lady. We certainly know you," one of the rogues said.  "Whoever paid you to come here, I will pay double." Gloria tried to come up with a solution in her mind.  "Miss Carter, you are half crippled. Do you think you can run away? The person who paid us did not intend to kill you. He just asked us to cripple one of your hands." The head of the rogues laughed.  Gloria's mind was a mess.

      "I want to see her." Gloria made a decision and said in a low voice. It was not a plea, but an order.  Dexter was tactful and knew that Gloria would not give in.  He nodded. "I'll take you there."  Dexter was clear that Gloria wanted to see Lillian immediately.  Since she asked him out at midnight with a single phone call, it meant that she had made up her mind to handle this mess.  Also, Dexter knew clearly that Gloria would no longer trust him as before.  He did not bother to say more, but led Gloria to a small apartment that he owned.  When the doorbell rang, Lillian opened the door and said in a sleepy voice, "You're back. Was the thing so urgent? Was your boss so bored?"  "She is not bored, and she is here to see you."  A cold voice made Lillian sober in an instant.  "Why are you here?" Lillian blurted out in surprise.  Lillian did not change much and was even more attractive than before.  Gloria enjoyed

      Gloria looked at Lillian meaningfully.   "You threaten me with the Carter Group?"   "Gloria, sue me. By then, the whole world will know that the Carter Group is an empty shell. You will lose everything. Then, can you still question me with such an attitude?" Lillian hated Gloria so much.   She thought with hatred, 'Gloria had once been so humble, yet she lived a better life than me after three years!   She is so low and cheap. How can she surpass me?'   "You are actually good at nothing! You inherited your father's property. Everything you own belonged to your family, and you robbed it from them. Gloria, you are not only lowly but also vicious. You don't even let go of your family!" The more Lillian spoke, the more emotional she became.   Dexter's hand was trembling, and he slapped Lillian. "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Carter has said that she wouldn't pursue the matter. Why are you still making a scene?"   Lillian suddenly went mad

      At midnight, the temperature dropped abruptly.  Gloria woke up when she heard the noise. She listened carefully and found that it was the sound of Patrick rubbing his clothes.  She sat up quietly and looked under the bed.  She found it strange. Sleeping on the sofa in the living room was much better than sleeping on the floor in her bedroom.  If it were Gloria, she would rather choose to sleep on the sofa.  Patrick was trembling all over. He wrapped his hands around his body and curled into a ball.  "Are you awake?" In the darkness, Gloria asked slowly in a calm voice.  The bedroom was silent. No one responded to her.  "Stop pretending to sleep," Gloria said lightly.  After a while, Patrick finally turned over. He opened his eyes in embarrassment and looked at Gloria.  "Gloria," He called out in a low voice to show that he was awake.  On the bed, Gloria moved. She said, "My feet are cold."  Patrick immediately

    Calvert managed a calm smile, "Don't worry. I'm just fulfilling my promise to take care of you. But I have to manage the Coburn Group, so I won't be able to look after you in person. I can only support you financially."He lowered his eyes, filled with guilt, "I should have taken care of you both as soon as I returned to the Coburn Group, but my amnesia made you both suffer for five years..."Clarissa pushed the folder back, "I can't accept these. I can earn money myself."Calvert insisted, "Take it. Consider it compensation for my regrets over the years." With that, he got up and left."Where are you going?" Clarissa called out.Calvert turned back, his smile making her uneasy, "To visit her.""Albion, I'm the only family you have left. Don't do anything foolish," Clarissa's voice was choked with emotion.Calvert waved his hand without turning around and walked away.He bought a bunch of flower and went to the cemetery. In the

    Gath traced the belt marks on her cheek with his fingertip in a mocking tone, "Came to see you... You've been doing so 'well' after leaving the Titlington family."Eva avoided his touch and coldly said, "You've seen enough, now go. I need to rest."Gath suddenly gripped her chin with a force that made her wince, "Eva, you're getting bold, huh? Speaking to me like that."Eva winced, but Gath let go as suddenly as he had grabbed her. She looked up and caught him avoiding her gaze."Gath, I'm hungry. Could you get me something to eat?" Eva softened her voice."Who do you think you are to order me around?" Gath raised an eyebrow."Someone you've been with. Does that count?" Eva fired back.Gath fell silent for a moment, then got up and left the ward.Eva watched him leave, her smile fading, her eyes cold and filled with loathing.'Gath, if you ever fall for me, I'll make you pay for all the pain you've caused!'No soo

    "Do you know who she is? She's Sidney from the Preston family! You can't afford to tangle with her, so scram—"Zander let out a cold laugh, and the others joined in. "What a coincidence, she's exactly who we're looking for."Amid their eerie laughter, the man immediately abandoned Sidney, pushing through the crowd to flee.But he had barely taken two steps when a man in a black mask yanked him back.With a judo throw, the black-masked man sent him crashing to the ground, rendering him unconscious on the spot.Zander turned to Cline, "Sir, what shall we do with her?"Cline lowered his head, massaging his right hand that was oozing blood, as hatred surged within him.He was the cause of Luana's fatal injury, and now Sidney and Runa, who had humiliated her, deserved no less.He narrowed his eyes, his voice icy, "First, give her a hundred slaps, then..."He paused, his tone turning vicious, "Throw her into 'Nightfall'

    Cline entered the study, unlocked a drawer, and retrieved a gold-bronze mask and a bottle of grey plant juice.He picked up a brush and carefully painted a wolf pattern on his neck.After finishing, he made a call.The recipient answered promptly, addressing him respectfully.Cline, gazing at the night outside, said coldly, "Tonight's targets are Sidney and Runa."The recipient responded promptly, "Yes, I'll come to pick you up right away."Cline hung up, his eyes cold and filled with malice as he looked at the manor lit by streetlights.Through the lights, he seemed to see the old mansion of the Preston family, and his eyes blazed with hatred.'Sheila, I promised my father I wouldn't kill you, but you've destroyed what I care about, so I'll destroy what you care about.''If you want to play, I'll play along...'Cline rewound the blood-soaked bandage on his hand and put on a pair of black leather gloves.He

    Back then, he was young and naive, thinking that by attempting suicide, his mother would show him some kindness.But he soon realized that not all women who have given birth deserve the title of "mother."Ironically, the woman who wanted to torture him to death wasn't a wicked stepmother but his biological mother.The Moriarty family treated him with care, while the Preston family, his mother's side, devised ways to torment him.He had once doubted whether he was his mother's biological son, but investigations proved otherwise. He was her son, a plaything she intended to torture to death.His mother's method of torture was to force him to live and watch everything he cared about be destroyed before his eyes.Cline's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had once believed that all mothers loved their children and had yearned for maternal love.Now, he knew better. Cline lifted his hate-filled eyes and coldly regarded the woman in the whe

    When Eva was impersonating Cline's lover, she was also terrified of being tortured to death like Valda.But she mustered the courage to do so because, since Gath sent people to rape her, she had felt she should disappear from the world.It was Cline who reached out to her, telling her not to rush revenge and that it would eventually succeed.This gave her the courage to live on.With Cline's support, Eva traveled far to study medicine.Cline had given her the strength to start anew, and so she remained devoted to him.But she hadn't anticipated that her initial intention was to protect Luana by keeping a low profile, only to inadvertently drag her into trouble.Eva lowered her dim eyes, striving to suppress her guilt, and looked up at Cline."Luana, do it!" she urged.The worst that could happen was losing her life, which was nothing to fear.Cline glanced at Eva, his icy gaze shifting back to Sheila
