  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

      "Patrick!" Gloria pushed Patrick away, and the quilt fell to the ground.  She glared at Patrick's lower body under the pajamas and shouted, "What are you doing?"  "Gloria, I couldn't bear it," Patrick said with a flushed face.  Looking at his innocent face, Gloria was even more furious.  With a cold face, she got out of bed without saying a word. She ignored Patrick and went to the bathroom.  She scolded herself inwardly as she walked, 'I was such an idiot. How could I allow Patrick to sleep on the bed?'  When Gloria thought of what had just happened, she kept wiping her hand against her pajamas, until her skin was rubbed red.  After washing up, she returned to the room.  But Patrick was still there. "Why are you still here?"  Patrick stared at her with his innocent eyes. He leaned against the wall at a loss and panted slightly. "I feel hot, Gloria. I couldn't bear it."  Gloria clenched her fists. She knew why he was feel

      In a room near the luxurious banquet hall stood a man and a woman.  "Relax," Lucas, in a light-colored suit, approached Gloria's ear and whispered.  Gloria took a small step back, yet no matter how imperceptible her movement was, Lucas still noticed keenly.  He took a few steps back gentlemanly and said with a chuckle, "Gloria, just relax."  She clenched her fists, feeling the sticky sweat in her palms. Of course, she would be nervous. The person she was about to meet was very important to the Carter Group.  "Actually, there's no need to hurry. He comes here every year for a holiday, and usually, he will be staying for a month or so." Lucas' voice was elegant and deep like a cello. "So, Gloria, you really don't need to see him right after you get off the plane."  She shook her head. Even now, her heart was still a mess.  After what happened that time, she fled without telling anyone.  Only she knew what she was running away from.

      Gloria and Klein left, leaving only Heath and Lucas in the large reception room.  "Is it her? The reason why were you willing to owe me a favor and have me fly here? Is she that important?" Heath gracefully walked to the bar counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey.  "Another glass?" He raised the glass to Lucas and gestured.  "She is someone I desperately want to be with, someone I want to just keep for myself." He did not know how important Gloria was to Lucas.  "Mike wanted me to ask you if that person is OK," Lucas said, changing the topic.  "Mike? After all these years, he still hasn't moved on? I always thought that Mike was the only guy who wouldn't let go. But now that I see you, I know that you are screwed as well." Heath shook his head.  Lucas did not explain. He chuckled and said, "Both you and Mike are so full of yourself, aren't you?"  Heath gulped down the wine in his glass and suddenly said, "She is excellent."  "

      For the week after, Gloria locked herself in her room and worked on the project.  Lucas would come to her from time to time. Sometimes, he would ask her to eat with him. Sometimes, he would just lie on her sofa and wait for her for the whole morning.  He did not disturb her, and she had gotten used to his company as time passed by.  Mandy did not call Gloria anymore. Instead, she contacted Gloria through text messages. Every day, she would tell Gloria that Patrick was fine. He ate well and was in good health.  The Carter Group became partners with Heath. Such an outcome was both expected and unexpected.  The moment the two parties signed the contract, Gloria was silent, her eyes lit up all of a sudden as if the thing that she had been waiting for a long time had finally been completed.  It was also at this moment that she seemed to have no reason to continue staying here.  "Thank you, Lucas." She thought, 'He helps me a lot. Without Heath,

      Gloria struggled fiercely, trying to break free from his arms.  "I don't understand what you are saying. The only thing I know is that I am doing great," she said angrily.  "Doing great? Really? Gloria, stop lying to yourself! Are you really doing great? Gloria, are you sure of it?" Lucas blurted out, yet in the next second, he suddenly stopped.  He forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes, and opened them again. When his hand touched her long hair, he stopped. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not living in the past? Then why do you still keep your hair long? Because of Patrick? Is he really that unforgettable?"  Gloria's face turned ghastly pale in the blink of an eye.  "Let go!" She panicked.  She wanted to escape. In such a case, she wouldn't need to face it, so she wouldn't be in so much pain.  Thus, she escaped.  The moment she did so, a strong sense of unwillingness appeared in Lucas' eyes.  Lucas wouldn't le

    Upon learning of this possibility, Cline simply said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.He gazed once more in the direction the black luxury car had vanished, now more certain than ever that Dorian had taken his Luana.However, he refused to believe they were husband and wife.Russell arrived with the bodyguards in a hurry, seeing Cline standing in front of the smashed Bugatti.Thinking Cline's car had been in an accident, he quickly approached."Mr. Moriarty, are you alright? Did you take too much sleeping pill and start hallucinating again?"For the past three years, Cline had been plagued by insomnia, clutching two mementos of Luana and struggling to sleep through the night.Russell, worried about his health, had obtained some sleeping pills from Eva.Little did he know, Cline had become addicted to them. Later, Russell found out that the medication could induce hallucinations when taken in excess.It was these hall

    Cline's brow twitched, his eyes filled with disdain as he regarded Dorian.He strode quickly to Luana, extending his hand with an unyielding tone, "Come with me."Before Luana could refuse, Dorian swiftly acted, his long arm encircling her shoulder and pulling her tightly into his embrace. A provocative smile played on his lips as he challenged, "On what grounds?"Cline's vision sharpened with pain, witnessing Luana clinging to Dorian, their bodies pressed close. A surge of rage erupted within him."Because I love her!"Cline's voice trembled yet rang out loud and clear, eight years of pent-up emotions bursting forth like a flood breaking its dam.Dorian, noticing the bloodshot eyes and the fervor in Cline's gaze, felt a flicker of realization. He glanced down at Luana in his arms.Her expression was calm, a faint smile curling her lips as if she had just heard an absurd joke, detached and indifferent.Not only did Dorian not l

    Dorian rolled his eyes at the scene and impatiently pushed open the car door, stepping out to approach the Bugatti.He bent down and knocked on the window, "Dorothy, get out now."Luana, upon hearing Dorian's voice, froze for a moment before pushing away from Cline, who was still kissing her.Her breathing was slightly labored as she coldly instructed, "Open the door. My husband's here!"Cline's body stiffened. He averted his gaze from Luana and slowly looked at the man outside.Dorian, dressed in a gray suit, was impeccably neat. His handsome face and aristocratic demeanor made him look distinguished and aloof. Cline didn't care about Dorian's appearance, but he was annoyed that Dorian had called her Dorothy, not Luana.Cline swiftly fastened Luana's seatbelt and started the car, speeding out of the parking lot without another word.Dorian watched the Bugatti speed away, a look of frustration crossing his face.He muttered tha

    Cline turned on the air conditioning, leaned sideways, and drew closer to Luana.His long, thick lashes lowered as he gazed at the petite Luana, his eyes revealing a longing he had never shown before."Luana..."He uttered her name as if it had taken all his strength.Luana opened her mouth to retort, but Cline suddenly gripped the back of her head with one hand, pressing her into his embrace.He whispered into her ear, "I... miss you so much."For three years, he had thought of her obsessively, to the point of madness, sleeplessness, and even hallucinations from medication.Now that he had found her alive and well, how could he let her go so easily?A flicker of disbelief crossed Luana's previously calm face, followed by a cold sneer in her heart.Would Cline truly miss her? He had never cared before. How could he miss her now?Was it because she was gone, and he couldn't find anyone to replace Runa, that he reme

    For the past three years, his heart had felt hollow, a persistent ache that never truly subsided.Now, in this moment of holding Luana close, his restless heart finally found its resting place.To Cline, having someone he longed for still alive was like reclaiming what had been lost.He held Luana tightly, his throat constricting with emotion, unable to utter a word, wishing only to merge her into his very being and feel her presence undeniably.Luana, however, was perplexed by Cline's behavior.It was uncharacteristic of him—cold and distant at their airport encounter, avoiding even a glance, yet now he was uncharacteristically intimate.She wondered if the three years apart had taken a toll on his mental state.Frowning, she struggled to push him away, but Cline easily restrained her wrist with one hand.He spun her around, pinning her against the car door.Before she could speak, Cline captured her lips in a kis

    Luana stood outside the door, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes as she contemplated Clarissa's changes over the years.Suddenly, the door creaked open from the inside.Angela, holding a child of about three years old, came into view.The little kid clutched a toy car, its round eyes wide with curiosity as it stared at Luana.Luana's gaze shifted between Angela and the child, a fleeting thought crossing her mind that Angela might be staying with Clarissa and Albert.Suppressing her doubts, she asked, "I'm a friend of Clarissa's. Is she home?"Angela froze, sizing up Luana from head to toe, unable to recognize the elegantly dressed woman with delicate makeup before her.It wasn't until Luana spoke that Angela's pupils contracted sharply, her face draining of color, her lips trembling as she stammered, "Y-y-y-o-u..."Then, as if she had seen a ghost, Angela retreated backward with the child, screaming at th

    Dorian had just retrieved his suitcase from the baggage carousel when he spotted Luana approaching.He frowned slightly, his tone laced with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you to wait over there?"Luana rolled her eyes at him. "I was afraid you might grab the wrong luggage."With that, she slipped her phone into her small bag, took the suitcase from Dorian's hand, and began to wheel it away.Dorian, with his long legs, effortlessly kicked another large suitcase toward Luana. "This one's yours too," he said.Luana, though inwardly exasperated, shot a glare at Dorian's retreating figure and pushed both suitcases out of the airport behind him.Once outside, Luana handed the suitcase back to Dorian. "I'm going to meet a friend. Let's part ways here."Dorian tilted his head slightly, regarding her with an expression that seemed to question her intelligence. "You think I came all this way just to see you off?"Luana was speechless again

    This meant he was giving her only one chance. If she refused, she would never be able to return home.Luana felt as if a heavy stone had settled in her heart, making it hard to breathe and preventing her from making a decision quickly.Dorian maintained his domineering posture, observing the shifting expressions on her face with a smug confidence, waiting leisurely for her response.Five minutes passed, and Luana took a deep breath before nodding. "Alright, I agree, but it's only a marriage in name."Dorian let out another faint sneer. "What else did you expect?"He picked up the diamond ring, nodded his chin, and gestured for Luana to extend her hand.Reluctantly, she stretched out her hand, and Dorian casually placed the ring on her right ring finger.After slipping the ring onto her finger, Dorian released her hand and looked into her eyes with his deep, dark gaze. "We go to the church tomorrow," he said.With that, he pocketed Dorothy's passport and turned to leave.Luana raised he

    Luana stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her resemblance to Dorothy grew day by day, and fear began to gnaw at her heart.She had already been a stand-in once. How could she bear to become one again, especially for her sister?Accompanied by a caregiver, Luana visited a hair salon and had her hair extended to waist-length, styled in the familiar waves she once wore.Dorian said nothing when he saw her like this, but after she fell asleep, he took a pair of scissors and cut off her hair.Luana was terrified, nearly fainting from the shock.Dorian, however, propped his chin on his hand with a nonchalant expression and said, “Who said you can do that?”Luana gaped at him, unable to contain her frustration. "Dorian, are you crazy…?"Dorian let out a soft chuckle. "Only now figuring that out?"Speechless, Luana took a deep breath and tried to reason with him."I'm not Dorothy. I'm Luana. Can you stop d
