Christine's smile disappeared when she heard what the manager said.
She stared at the manager. Christine used to be a rogue, and Patrick saved her back then. Patrick asked her to join the Black Thorn Pack. When Patrick found out that she had Alpha's blood, he asked her to help him run the Fittro Club. Although the manager of the Public Relations Department was also from the Black Thorn Pack, she did not have Alpha's blood. Therefore, when Christine showed her Alpha aura, the manager immediately felt the pressure. "Emily, I asked Gloria to work in your department. Are you questioning my decision or judgment?" Cold sweat dripped down Emily's forehead. She quickly denied it, "I didn't. If you think highly of her, then I will spend more time teaching her. Christine, I have to go now. I still have work to do." Christine stood in place. When she heard that Gloria wanted to rest for a few days, she was pleased. Finally, the silly giGloria became more silent as she saw Lilian's reaction. She didn't really need Lillian's apology. She simply wanted others to show some respect. She almost forgot the feeling of being respected. Patrick, the mighty Alpha, destroyed a werewolf. He destroyed Gloria. Gloria felt pain and regret. She told herself not to expect too much. She shouldn't expect people to respect her. "Gloria, tell me how much money you want. Even if I have to give you all my savings, I will not apologize to you. You crawled on the ground and barked like a dog for money. A person like you is not worthy of my apology!" Lillian said angrily. After Lillian finished speaking, she thought for a few seconds and revealed a disdainful smile. She continued, "If you want to tell others that I hurt you, it's fine. However, no one will believe you. Let me remind you, I am a student at Gabbs University. I am here to earn my tuition fees, and in the eyes of others,
Hearing Gloria's words, Lillian was even more frightened. Lillian was afraid of Christine, so she did not stop Gloria anymore, but Lillian hated Gloria even more. Slowly, Gloria walked out of the hospital. Lillian did not notice that the humble and incompetent Gloria was getting calmer and more confident as she walked out. Lillian did not notice that a man was leaning lazily against the door frame of the ward next to Gloria's. The man glanced at Gloria, who then disappeared at the elevator entrance. Then he walked past Lillian to the elevator. Gloria took the elevator downstairs. She had a problem with her legs, so she walked slowly. She walked out of the hospital and stood at the intersection to get a taxi. "I want to go to Fittro Club. Can you make it a little cheaper?" The driver glanced at Gloria and said, "I charge by the meter. If you don't want to go, I'll leave now." The driver wouldn't give her a discou
In the lounge of the Public Relations Department, the call girls were having a heated discussion. Despite the lessons from Yuna and Ruby, no one else took them seriously. Besides, the big boss hated troublemakers, and they did not do anything to Gloria. These people had a problem with Gloria because they didn't think she met the standards to work in this department. Moreover, before she came to this department, Gloria was a cleaner and had been cleaning the bathrooms for a few months at the club. For some reason, Gloria suddenly became their colleague, so it was normal that they felt uncomfortable about it. Gloria followed Emily to the VIP room on the fifth floor. Emily didn't know why this customer had asked Gloria to serve him. Emily looked at Gloria expressionlessly and said, "You'll serve in the VIP room. Remember to talk and behave properly and to make the customers happy. Don't offend the customers. Understand?" "Yes, Emily,"
As Gloria looked at the check in her hand, her face gradually turned pale. She had received a lot of humiliation from previous customers, yet she had a clear conscience. She understood that Mike had given her 100 thousand dollars because Mike felt she was similar to the woman he loved. But today, she didn't do anything. Lucas stood in front of Gloria, half a head taller than her. He lowered his eyes and curled his lips as he admired the woman's expression. It was as if he could see her struggling inside from the subtle changes in her expression. And he enjoyed watching it very much. Gloria's face grew paler, and there was a hesitant look in her. On the one hand, she felt that she shouldn't take the money. On the other hand, she urgently needed money. Suddenly, she slowly raised her head. From her angle, she could only see Lucas' pretty chin and his curved lips. She asked, "Sir, do you need me to do anything for you?" A trace
Christine asked this because she was afraid that Gloria would put in too much effort to earn money. Looking at the concern in Christine's eyes, Gloria felt warm in her heart. Gloria did not want Christine to be anxious. She replied, "Christine, he only asked for a kiss." Christine could not help crying out in surprise, "A kiss? That simple?" But the next second, Christine fell silent. A kiss? It could not be that simple. Christine saw too many men who were polite in front of others and exposed their kinky hobbies when they were at Fittro Club. Many of them were werewolves, and werewolves liked to tease humans. They were happy to see humans obey their orders. This man could have any woman he wanted, but chose Gloria and gave her 20 thousand dollars. Christine looked at Gloria. Christine did not look down on Gloria. She just felt Gloria was really not the type of most men. Christine thought that there were very fe
Christine did not know why Patrick was so concerned about Gloria. However, Christine did know that Patrick hated Gloria a lot. Otherwise, he would not have tortured Gloria like this. So, after thinking for a few seconds, Christine said in a euphemistic tone, "Nothing out of the line. The guest just asked Gloria to kiss him." Christine didn't think Patrick would mind. After all, guests at Fittro Club asked for a kiss from call girls every day. They would also tip more. The call girls were also more than happy to earn more tips in such a way. However, what happened next surprised Christine. Just as she finished speaking, Patrick, who was in Los Angeles, hung up right away. Patrick's face was stiff. He looked out of the window, thinking about something. And it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. Everyone in the conference room was frightened. Patrick, the Alpha, had his usual poker face, and no one knew what he
Gloria looked at Lillian in silence, while Lillian was indifferent to her line of sight. Lillian continued, "I left my stuff in the dormitory that day, so I came back to grab it. That's how I found you unconscious on the floor. Then I took you to the hospital at once. I don't dare to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't come back that day." Gloria frowned. Was Lillian talking to her? It didn't sound like that. She felt that Lillian wanted someone else to hear. So, who could it be? Gloria was not stupid. She subconsciously turned around to look behind her. Just as she turned around, she felt a pair of hands on her waist, and she was lifted in the air. Someone helped her, breaking her free from Lillian's grip. Her back was leaning against a warm body. A melodious male voice came from behind Gloria. "Gloria, I think you owe your thanks to Miss Santos." The voice belonged to Derrick, the man Gloria had met twice in
Toby Terry, who was from the Blue Moon Pack, was a little confused. He looked in the direction where Derrick was pointing. It was just the door to Room 3. Derrick continued, "A beautiful woman will walk through this door shortly after. She is a delight. Mr. Terry, I'm being a sincere friend here." As Derrick spoke, he gave Toby a meaningful smile that all men understood and patted Toby's arm. "You know what I'm saying, Mr. Terry?" "I sure do." Toby looked elegant, and that didn't stop him from understanding what Derrick was implying. Toby was the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, which was next door to Derrick's Blood Moon Pack. The two packs shared a friendly relationship. To some extent, they could be considered alliances. Toby smiled meaningfully and said, "No wonder others praise Fittro Club as werewolves' heaven." Derrick motioned to Toby and said, "Mr. Terry, and friends, I'm afraid I'll take my leave now." Before leaving th
Luana never expected that after Cline let Calvert in, he would continue to kiss her.It wasn't until she heard Calvert's voice that she understood his intention.Although she had already let go of Calvert, seeing his eyes turn bloodshot with despair still startled her.She couldn't help but feel that the man struggling to rush towards them wasn't Calvert, but Albion.Because only Albion would lose control when he saw her being hurt by another man.Instinctively not wanting to upset Albion, she struggled desperately.But the more she struggled, the harder Cline kissed her, even going so far as to slide his slender fingers inside her clothes right in front of Calvert."Cline, don't touch her!" Calvert roared in a fit of madness, wishing he could rush over and kill Cline.But his body was pinned down by the bodyguard, leaving him helpless as he watched Cline take possession of Luana bit by bit.Luana forcefully pushed Cline
"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. Logically, they should be administered one
