  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

      Gloria thought, 'What if I could go back in time? What if I get to choose again?  I think I would still choose to work with Lucas because I had to keep the Carter Group going.'  Gloria pulled out the chair and looked deeply at Lucas again.  Then she turned around and left decisively.  As he watched her walking away step by step, staggering, he said, "Gloria!"  Lucas' deep voice was as magnificent as a cell, it echoed behind her.  He looked at Gloria's back, ignoring the sudden sense of loss in his heart. He felt that he had lost something very important.  He shouted at her, "The woman I choose will keep her hair long just for me! That woman will be the love of my life!"  Gloria did not stop. She stood with her back to Lucas, and there was a smile on her delicate face. She said in a tender voice, "Good luck. And goodbye."  At the dining table, Lucas put the last bit of pasta into his mouth. He chewed hard and closed his eyes.

      Camille roared hysterically, "You can't be so heartless! In fact, the Carter Group and the Silver Spring Pack were both Harry's! He has given the Carter Group to you, and you just need to donate marrow to him, but why did you refuse time and time again? What else do you want? I will give you everything you want. Can you save Harry? I beg you."  In the waiting room of the airport, Gloria sat alone in a corner. She seemed to be enduring something desperately, her body trembling.  She clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "If you care about the Carter Group so much, take it!"  She had already put too much effort into the messy Carter Group and did many things unwillingly.  Everyone thought that she had taken advantage of the Carter family.  "I don't believe that you are willing to give up on it. If you do, you are either a fool or a liar. You are just coaxing me." Camille mocked.  Gloria closed her eyes and listened to Camille's voice

      Gloria lay on the bed, and her heart was a mess.  When she entered the bedroom, Patrick followed her in, holding the quilt she had just taken to the living room.  This time, Gloria did not berate him or ask him to leave. Patrick's eyes were bright and lit up with joy.  She had mixed feelings.  She thought of the changes in Patrick over the past few days and what he had done that night. Patrick only had a child's mind, yet he still protected her from the attacks of the vicious rogues.  He could escape, but he didn't.  Gloria recalled that Patrick got up at midnight and warmed her feet.  Which one was the real Patrick?  Patrick lay down beside her. Her body stiffened, and she was about to scold him, but in the end, she moved aside with her quilt and said coldly, "You are not allowed to get under my blanket or touch me. Otherwise, I'll kick you out."  Patrick yawned and asked, "Gloria, will you let me stay if I do whatever you tol

      "How did he provoke you?" Gloria didn't speak for a long time, and Stewart asked awkwardly.  Gloria froze and was speechless. Her expression changed dramatically.  "Forget it! Just come and take him away today! I don't want to see him again!" Gloria shouted.  "Gloria, if you don't like me to kiss you, I won't do it again. Don't send me away, please." Patrick's voice sounded.  Gloria's hand trembled, and she had a headache.  There was a strange silence on the phone.  Gloria could guess Stewart's expression on the other side of the line.  "Shut up!" She shouted at Patrick, who was trying to soften her up.  "So that's the reason. He's quite a jerk." Stewart rubbed his nose and wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to provoke Gloria further. He could only hold back his laughter, and his face was distorted. "Gloria, Alpha Alex took the opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of the Hammond Group. I have been going crazy dealing wi

      Gloria stood for a long time. In the end, she opened the door and bent down to pick up the takeout that was placed on the ground.  She said softly, "Mandy, thank you."  However, no one heard her.  Time passed by quickly. It was getting dark outside.  Gloria glanced at her watch. It was almost time to get off work, but she did not want to go back home.  Stewart did not call her for the whole day. She thought that her threatening words in the morning should be effective and that Stewart was afraid of her.  Gloria finished looking through the documents on the table. She no longer had an excuse to stay longer.  She left the office.  Gloria parked the car in the underground parking lot, took the elevator upstairs, and arrived at the floor where she lived. Standing outside the apartment, she looked at the closed door with mixed feelings.  She reached out her hand and placed it on her heart gently. She could feel clearly that her hear

      Gloria looked at the sky. "Christine, you know that I hate him and am afraid of him. Six years ago, he sent me to the werewolf prison. There were iron bars everywhere.  "Not long ago, I woke up in the morning and found myself locked in a space full of iron bars again. He put bars on all the windows. In my opinion, it was no different from my life in prison.  "He tried all means to imprison me. He was now so sick that he finally let go. He said that he didn't want to continue the game. He was tired of me and I believed it. But isn't that ridiculous? He lets go only when he's dying. Does this mean that he cares about me?  "You are right. When I was at the airport, I kept thinking about how you scolded me. I was running all the time. I didn't just run from him, but from my family as well.  "Patrick imprisoned my body. As for me, I imprisoned my heart.  "Alright, let's get in. It's a bit cold outside." Gloria felt relaxed after saying that. She stood up.

      Gloria picked up the apple from the stable and quietly peeled it. Not long after, the peeled apple was handed to Patrick.  The apple emitted a fragrance. Patrick didn't believe what was happening. He didn't dare to take the apple.  He didn't know if the apple would disappear the moment he took it.  "When will the operation be carried out?" Gloria went straight to the point. She held the peeled apple in her hand.  Patrick immediately became alert. He was a little nervous. "Who told you?"  "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" She asked again, ignoring his nagging.  "The day after tomorrow." He stared at Gloria. In fact, she was more stubborn than him. If she didn't get an answer, she wouldn't give up.  Gloria nodded and stuffed Patrick. "Are you not eating it? I peeled it for you."  Patrick felt warm in his heart. He had never shown his weaknesses, but now felt tears well up in his eyes. One could even see that his eyes turned red. He

      "Look, you're hesitating." Christine was like an invader. She pursued further and didn't let Gloria go. "I just asked you if you still loved him, but you hesitated. Do you really know yourself?  "Gloria, in my opinion, you are running away from him. Three years ago, you tried everything you could to escape. Now, you have made no progress at all. You are still escaping. Will you really be at peace at Waikiki Beach? I will be blunt. If you can only remain calm on Waikiki Beach, it means that you have never been calm."  Gloria trembled, and her face paled. "Stop it! Enough!"  Christine's words echoed in her mind. She wanted to press the pause button but there was simply none.  "Gloria, Waikiki Beach is not a pure land. The peace you think is just your escape," Christine said seriously.  Christine should not have said this, but she saw some things that the people in the police station did not see.  She saw Gloria's hesitation.  During the thre

      Outside a VIP ward in the hospital, an unexpected figure appeared.  "Let him in." In the ward, Patrick nodded.  The door opened, and Ellison walked in.  "You're really well-informed," Patrick said coldly, his lips pale.  "I have my sources. No matter how well you hide it, you can't guarantee that your subordinates won't give themselves away," Ellison said calmly.  Patrick smiled, "You don't have to be in such a hurry even though you covet the Hammond Group. After I die, it will be all yours."  "Come on." Ellison sat down on a chair. "If you die, all your assets will be given to her."  Although he didn't say who she was, Patrick, who was lying on the bed, had a glint in his eyes. "You know me well."  "No." Ellison waved his index finger. "It just so happened that I saw a lawyer walk out of the hospital. That lawyer was hired by you personally to serve you and the Hammond Group."  "Did you find me just like that?" Patrick asked.

      "Don't move. I just want to look at you," Patrick whispered. Gloria only felt that it was strange. When did he learn to be gentle?  When she raised her eyes to look at him, she was seized by his eyes. His eyes were like black holes as if swallowing her up. Intense affection seemed to be about to burst out of his eyes in a second.  She had never experienced this before.  She had never seen Patrick like this before.  Before she ran out of patience, he released her.  He took a step back, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to her. "Don't you want to leave? I'll let you go."  She took the paper and found it was a divorce agreement.  As her gaze slid down, Patrick had already signed his name.  For a moment, she became even more confused.  He had done everything he could to force her to be with him, but now he had taken out the divorce agreement.  She didn't understand.  Gloria looked at Patrick, her

      Half a month had passed. Patrick didn't appear in front of her again. Occasionally, Hank would come back to take a change of clothes and then leave in a hurry.  Apart from being confused, the guards in the pack became increasingly serious.  Gloria didn't know what had happened.  One day, the dark iron gate of Alpha's villa opened again. She saw the familiar Bentley driving in from the second floor from a distance.  She looked at the car and fell into a daze.  Finally, he came back.  She retracted her gaze and did not know how to face him.  Just as she was lost in thought, Kevin went to her door and invited her to meet Alpha respectfully.  She wanted to ask if she could refuse.  However, Kevin turned around and left directly.  It was no use delaying. She still went downstairs.  Gloria gave a self-mockery chuckle. However, her smile faded quickly. As she got thinner, her face seemed to be sunken.  She noticed a

      Smoke came out from the gap in the door.  Instantly, Hank's expression changed. He shook off Mandy, who was pulling him, took out his key, and opened the door. "Luna Gloria! What is going on?"  Before he finished speaking, he choked on the thick smoke and coughed violently.  Mandy rushed in. "Gloria, don't scare me! Don't tell me that you want to kill yourself!"  Unfortunately, the smoke was too thick, and the flames were everywhere.  Hank immediately called the police and tried to rush in.  A figure passed him quickly and rushed in.  In the blink of an eye, the figure had already rushed into the thick smoke.  "Alpha Patrick! You can't go inside!  "It's too dangerous!"  Hank shouted, but Patrick turned a deaf ear. He looked around the room through the smoke, but Gloria was nowhere to be seen.  He immediately rushed to the bedroom door, but the door could not be opened.  "Gloria! Open the door! Gloria! Open the

      In the ward, Patrick took a chair and sat down. Opposite him was Harry.  "She lied to me and came to donate her bone marrow to you."  Patrick said, breaking the silence.  Harry turned pale and gradually despaired. He said, "I'll go find her! I won't force her to donate her bone marrow!" He stood up and was about to leave.  "Gloria was injecting G-CSF. I took her home."  Harry calmed down after hearing that.  "The donor?" Harry was puzzled.  "Your brother."  Harry did not know what to say for a moment.  "Your brother's match result was a fake. I've known this for a long time. But Gloria doesn't care about it, so I do nothing."  Harry wanted to say something. He found that Patrick was so indifferent. Patrick knew the truth, yet he chose to stand aside and watch the farce.  "You know Gloria went to the bone marrow bank. Ever since she found out about your condition, she's been asking around to find a suitable donor. I

      Patrick paused. The next second, he reached out to cover her eyes and then kissed the back of his hand over them. "You mean a lot to me," he said silently.  "Gloria, don't think about running away again. For the rest of your life, you're bound to be with me. You can't get away without my permission."  He had already lost his mind.  He felt bad for her, yet such a feeling was surpassed by his longing to keep her with him.  After everything was over, she said, "I hate you."  He closed his eyes. When he opened them, he suppressed the pain in them and said, pretending that he didn't care, "Whatever."  He thought, 'You can hate me. Even though you want to hate me, I'm the only one you are going to hate.  I don't care about anything else, as long as I'm the only one in your world. You may choose to love me or hate me as you want.'  It was just that the moment she said she hated him, he felt his heartache killing him.  The day of Harr
