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 feChristine 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
Toby pointed at the transparent container just sent in and said, "Miss Santos, have you ever seen the diving performance? This is what you need to perform, Miss Santos. Please enter the container." Then, the workers who carried the container in quickly went to the bathroom. They used a nylon pipe to connect the faucet to the container and fill it with water. The water gradually filled the transparent container with a splashing sound. Lillian's face became completely pale. "I will die." Lillian shook her head repulsively. "We won't watch you die." Toby smiled even more kindly and said, "It usually takes four to six minutes for a person to die from drowning. As soon as you stay in the water for three minutes, we will get someone to go in and pull you out." "If that's the case, why are you offering two hundred thousand dollars?" Lillian still maintained her sense though tempted by a large sum of money. "Miss Santos, accidents happen fr
Toby smiled at Gloria's words. He thought that Gloria was indeed much more interesting than Lillian. "I've heard that you love money very much." Gloria lowered her head without any reply. Everyone knew she loved money very much. Gloria curled her lips into an unfathomable smile. She looked up and said, "Yes, and that's why I agreed to risk my life to do it." "Alright! Four hundred thousand dollars! Deal!" Toby smiled, his eyes shining. Gloria was ugly but indeed very special. Gloria was thrown into the container. She wrapped herself tightly in her clothes and wouldn't take them off. The water was already above her head. Her clothes, soaked to the skin, grew heavier and dragged her down further. In the beginning, Gloria could still open her eyes and watch the werewolves standing in front of the transparent container and staring at her amusingly. Toby looked gentle with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. But at this m
Lillian looked at the scene in horror. She was shocked and terrified. Lillian fell to the floor in a panic. Her limbs were cold as she looked in horror at Gloria, who was in the rectangular container. She didn't know whether Gloria was still alive or not. Patrick would occasionally show up at Fittro Club. She did not know who he was before. However, she knew from Toby's plea to Patrick that Patrick was the mysterious Mr. Hammond, the man behind Fittro Club. After finding out who Patrick was, Lillian was overwhelmed by fear. She hoped that nothing would happen to Gloria. In such a case, she would not be punished. Yet at the same time, she also hoped that Gloria could just die. What if Gloria woke up and told Patrick, the owner of Fittro Club? Seeing that Patrick was so anxious, Lillian immediately struggled to get up. Then she stumbled to Patrick's side. She pretended to be concerned and said to Patrick, "Mr. Hammond, your hand is bleeding. You must do something about i
Patrick held Gloria's hand. His anger was soothed, and he became calm. For some reason, he felt warm. He didn't know how long had passed. Finally, she coughed a few times. As she spat out water, she coughed again. Gloria opened her eyes, which were both sore and painful. Her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see the face of the person in front of her. She moved her lips and said, "Money." Patrick looked indescribably excited. Seeing her lips move, he quickly asked, "What did you say?" Gloria's pale lips moved slightly. She said with difficulty, "Mr. Terry, my money." All of a sudden, the air froze. It was as if someone hit the pause button. The excitement in Patrick's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by indifference. He said, "How much?" His voice regained its usual coldness. "Mr. Terry, you promised that you would pay me 400 thousand dollars for my performance." Gloria did not see the person in front of her clearly. Yet, the sense of being near him s
Patrick's words were like a poisonous arrow that shot straight into her heart. She felt a pain she had never felt before. Gloria subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to cover her chest. Her hand went up into the air, but it dropped again to her thigh. She managed to stay rational. "Mr. Hammond, you're right. My life is worthless." He was the one who said that her life was worthless and that she should go to hell. However, when she repeated his words, Patrick felt a sudden irritation for no reason. Patrick shouted roughly, "Follow me!" He turned around and left. Gloria followed him in silence. Patrick walked fast. Gloria tried her best to keep up with him. Gloria felt as if her bones were cracking and the pain was unbearable. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but as her body was wet from head to toe, it was impossible to tell whether it was sweat or water, although she was drenched in a cold sweat. Patric
Eva saw that she couldn't hide the truth anymore, so she told Clarissa what had happened, but she didn't mention the heart failure, only saying that Luana was in a coma.Hearing that Luana was in a coma, Clarissa nearly lost her balance and fell.She steadied herself against the door frame and said in a trembling voice, "Dr. Woodward, please tell me the address of the hospital..."Eva gave Clarissa the address and tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, she's in my hospital and I'll keep an eye on her. You should prepare some clothes for her to change into. She'll probably need to be hospitalized for a while."Eva's calm voice gave Clarissa some strength.She steadied herself, thanked Eva, and hung up the phone. Then she stumbled into Luana's bedroom.She quickly packed a few pieces of clothing, grabbed some toiletries, and hurriedly drove to the hospital.Eva was in the middle of giving Luana a detailed examination when she saw Clariss
Clarissa, Clarissa…Luana heard Clarissa's crying voice in a daze. The sound tugged at her heart, making it impossible for her to keep going.She stood in the mist, slowly turning her head, just in time to see Clarissa running toward her."Luana, don't leave. Come back. I still have so much to tell you…"Luana opened her mouth to respond to Clarissa, but no sound came out.Then, fresh oxygen flowed in, easing her suffocated heart.Gradually, the mist dissipated and Clarissa vanished. Luana fell into a deep coma."Dr. Woodward, her heart has started beating again!""Hurry, keep her on oxygen!"Eva saw the flickering data on the ECG monitor and felt her legs go weak.This was the first time she had been so anxious about a patient, fearing that she might die.Her hands were still trembling, too weak to even lift."Dr. Roffe , how's the situation with the back of her head?"Dr. Roffe
Cline stared coldly at Sidney, his face full of dissatisfaction."Cline, you used to... protect Valda like this too," Sidney said, eyeing him suspiciously up and down.In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions was Valda.Back then, he had stood up for Valda just like this, even going to any lengths to defend her!Sidney's words hit a sore spot for Cline, making his expression even darker and more irritable."What do you want to get out of this?""I want her dead! Either that, or sell her to a club and make her life a living hell! Otherwise, I'll tell Auntie that you have a special relationship with her!"Upon hearing this, Cline slightly tilted his head and reluctantly slapped Luana.The moment the slap landed, Luana, who was unprepared, lost her balance and fell straight backward—This time, she wasn't so lucky. There was a nail where she fell, which pierced right into the back
The man had a face with sharp angles, like it was chiseled out of stone, and eyes that were impossible to read.He wore a black suit that accentuated his lean and upright figure, exuding an aura as dazzling as the stars yet tinged with melancholy.After steadying Runa, he didn't immediately remove his hand from her waist. Instead, he looked down at Luana coldly."You dare to lay a hand on my fiancée? Who the fuck are you?"Luana's heart, which had been racing and nearly suffocating with tension, suddenly chilled at the man's indifferent voice.Drenched, with a swollen cheek and disheveled hair, she felt more humiliated by his words than by her appearance.She hugged her shivering arms, lowered her head, and stared lifelessly at her toes, awaiting judgment from these powerful, condescending people."Cline, what are you doing here?"Runa asked, surprised yet more shocked that Cline hadn't let go of her.Cline was always so busy handling affairs—why would he show up at a mall, and in the
The entrance of the mall was crowded with people coming and going.If someone took a photo or a video, it might harm Luana's reputation.Although the Moriarty family had enough PR skills to deal with the public opinion, it was better not to cause trouble.Thinking of this, Sidney immediately withdrew her hand and gave a signal to the bodyguards behind her.The bodyguards quickly took out a handkerchief, covered Luana's mouth with it, and dragged her towards the restroom.Luana was almost thrown into the toilet stall by the bodyguards. They didn't give her a chance to escape and pinned her down tightly.Sidney and Runa walked in gracefully in high heels.They looked down at Luana as if they were symbols of power."Sidney, is she the one who disrespected you at the hospital?" Runa asked."Yes, she dared to mock me and even threatened to call the police on me. How dare she!" Sidney replied.Runa also glared at Luana fiercely."Luana, I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Do you want to d
When she saw Gath come out with an angry look on his face, completely different from the cheerful appearance she had seen before, it seemed as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them.Luana did not ask about their relationship, pretending to know nothing, and took out the swelling-reducing medicine to give it to Eva."Eva, apply this. You're so beautiful. You don't want to be scared, do you?" Seeing the injury on Eva's face, Luana felt guilty, as if she were the reason Eva got hit."Thank you," Eva accepted the swelling-reducing patch and applied it to her face, then looked at Luana, who was pretending nothing had happened."You know Gath, don't you?" Eva thought that since Luana and Calvert seemed to have a good relationship, and Gath was Calvert's friend, Luana must know him.Luana nodded but did not ask any more questions.Eva, however, did not mind and openly said, "He's like my brother, but without blood ties. However... the grudges between us run deep."As for how deep th
After getting some anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medicine from the nurse, Luana returned.She pushed open the door to the dean's office just in time to see Gath pinning Eva against the wall. Luana froze for a moment before quickly backing out and closing the door behind her.She sat down on a chair outside, propping her chin on her hand, her mind racing but unable to make sense of the tangled relationships between them.Inside the dean's office, Eva had regained her composure the moment she saw Luana. She forcefully pushed Gath away."Stay away from me..."Gath, pushed back, straightened his disheveled clothes but kept his eyes fixed on Eva."Does it hurt?" he asked, touching the swollen cheek where she had been slapped, though his eyes held a mocking smile."I thought you'd be quite capable after leaving the Tittlington family, but it turns out you've just latched onto Cline. Though the price seems a bit too high."Eva was
When Luana heard Sidney's words, she felt insulted, while Eva was filled with fear.Eva quickly stepped forward, blocking Luana and apologizing on her behalf, "Miss Preston, this patient didn't know who you were, which is why she spoke to you like that. I'm really sorry. Please, just let her go."Eva's submissive pleading made Luana feel even more guilty, and she started to say, "Eva..."She wanted to tell her not to lower herself for her sake, but Eva interrupted her, "Miss, you're just here to see me for treatment. We're not close. If you say anything else that upsets Miss Preston, I won't treat you anymore!"Eva was trying to distance herself from Luana, seemingly to protect her.Luana understood her intentions and kept quiet.Although she thought the woman in front of her was too arrogant, Eva seemed terrified of her. To avoid causing more trouble for Eva, Luana gritted her teeth and endured it.Seeing this, Sidney's lips curled i
Luana nodded in agreement. "The key issue still lies with his family."This realization struck Clarissa, who hurriedly said, "I'll go to his hometown and ask some neighbors. That should clear things up."Luana quickly grabbed her hand, warning, "Don't go alone. It's too dangerous."Who knew what the situation was like in Albert's hometown? If Clarissa went alone and got into trouble, what would happen?Luana tried to calm her down, saying, "Don't worry. I think Angela can't keep her cool for long. When we find a chance when Albert isn't around, you just provoke her a bit. She might just lay all her cards on the table."Clarissa thought about it and found it made sense.In the ward just now, Angela had almost lost her temper several times. If it weren't for Albert holding her back, she might have already jumped up and confronted Clarissa.It would be safer to approach Angela when Albert wasn't around than to go to his hometown alone.
