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 voiceGloria 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
Another month had passed. When Sean was about to finish his business in Italy, he got into new trouble. He said that it was not a big problem, but it would take some time to handle it. Gloria smiled and said to Sean, "I almost thought you were lying to me. In fact, you were hitting on girls in Italy and forgot everything." Sean joked on the phone, "Hitting on girls? No. I'm surrounded by stinky men only." "Then, try to get back soon." There was a hint of coldness in Gloria's tone. At first, Gloria thought that her cooperation with Lucas would be ruined, but it lasted for a month. And Lucas simply disappeared from her sight. The cooperation had moved onto the second stage. The representatives of both sides had to meet again to discuss the specific details of the next step and confirm some details that had been discussed before. In the afternoon, Mandy knocked on the door of the president's office and led an acquaintance in. "G
Gloria felt Patrick's shoulders tremble slightly. She closed her eyes to hide the pain in her eyes. Suddenly, Patrick printed his lips on hers. She was surprised and struggled to push him away. Patrick whispered in her ear, "Gloria, I have that strange feeling again." Patrick grabbed her hand and put it over his heart. She felt suffocated and heartbroken. In the end, she was defeated again. Whether he was stupid or smart, whether he forgot everything or not, she had never won. Gloria gave up struggling and stopped pushing Patrick away. She closed her eyes and allowed him to continue kissing her. "Are you feeling better?" She asked. "Gloria, I'll be with you for the rest of my life," Patrick repeated seriously. Gloria met his deep eyes. Her smile was bright, which held him spellbound. She suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to the amusement park?" Patrick's eyes lit up. "Really?" Gloria nodded. "Let'
"Patrick lied to you!" Ellison looked emotional. He had been waiting for the moment for a long time. "Shut up!" At the door of the conference room, Patrick shouted. The doctor said that his mind had regressed to an eight-year-old. But Ellison's words exposed the lie. Patrick was furious and glared at Ellison with his sharp eyes. "Gloria, I can explain." Patrick looked nervously at Gloria and was anxious. There were other people in the conference room, including Alex, Stewart, and some higher-ups of the Hammond Group. Gloria's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on one person. Soon, she shifted her gaze away. The slight mocking smile on her face disappeared before people could notice it. The person whom Gloria had just looked at saw it and clenched his fists. Everyone was staring at Gloria. Stewart said, "Gloria, Patrick didn't lie to you on purpose." "Fine, then explain it to me." Under everyone's gaze, Gloria
Patrick tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. "You have no say in the affairs of the Hammond family." "Ask Grandpa if he considers me a member of the Hammond family. Patrick, how dare you be so ruthless to grandpa!" Ellison mocked. "You can't wait to become a member of the Hammond family, right? Ellison, your intention of getting the Hammond Group and the Black Thorn Pack is so obvious, but you are not qualified!" Patrick retorted. He walked in front of Alex. "I know what you want, but you are old. It's time to let go of your power over this family. Do you think that you can regain control by messing around while I'm not in the Hammond Group and the Black Thorn Pack?" "Patrick!" Alex was angry. His fingers were trembling as he pointed at Patrick. "You bastard!" Patrick ignored Alex's curses. He smiled coldly and turned around to leave. "Stewart, call the pack guards over." Alex was shocked. He shouted behind Patrick, "What? Are you going
Gloria was in a trance. The past that had been lost in time seemed to become clear again. She remembered that when Harry fought with those rogues, he shouted fiercely, "Gloria is my sister. If anyone dares to bully her again, I will kill him!" She also remembered Harry's fierce look. It was as if he would bite the person he saw the next moment. Gloria sat upright on the sofa for another three hours. She stared blankly at the empty space. She seemed to be reminiscing. Memories were not always pleasant, but Gloria felt satisfied with those little happy moments. In the quiet living room, the phone rang urgently. Gloria was shocked and became sober. She looked at the screen, and her eyes became cold. It was Patrick. She did not press the call, nor did she pick it up. Gloria stood up from the sofa, picked up her backpack, and walked to the door. She suddenly stopped when she saw the two pairs of slippers placed side by side
