  Lillian sensed Patrick's disdain for Derrick in his tone, and Patrick's attitude made Lillian feel unhappy.

  She could not accept anyone denigrating Derrick, but she dared not contradict Patrick.

  Her rationality told her that it would be a dangerous thing to do so.

  Patrick didn't care about what Lillian thought. He sensed from her words that she was nothing but a stupid woman who was obsessed with Derrick.

  And there was more. Lillian was also selfish and mean, and she made him sick.

  Patrick didn't bother to say anything else to Lillian. He raised his chin at Leonard.

  Leonard understood immediately, so he went up and pulled Lillian up.

  "Where are you taking me?" Lillian was afraid instantly, worrying that Patrick would do something even worse to her.

  "Shut up," Patrick said. Then Leonard immediately gagged Lillian and stuffed her into the car.

  Soon, Patrick's convoy set off again.

  Meanwhile, at his villa on the we

     "I know she works at the Fittro Club. She is your employee."  After thinking for a moment, Derrick came to a conclusion. He thought that maybe he had offended Patrick's employee. Given how overbearing Patrick was, everything Patrick would do made sense.  So, Derrick continued, "But she is fine, isn't she? She is not dead."  Lillian was already slumping on the ground, feeling weak.  No matter how stupid she was, she still knew what was going on.  She thought, 'It's true. I love Mr. Fisher so much, yet he did set me up.' Somehow, the face of Gloria, who was suffocating while struggling in pain in that transparent container, emerged in Lillian's mind. Back then, Gloria kept banging her fists against the container so desperately.  Lillian shuddered violently.  She thought, 'If I hadn't been lucky, it would have been me.'  "Leonard, tell him."  Leonard briefed Derrick mechanically about everything that had happened that day.  A

     Patrick glanced at Gloria, who was sleeping on the sofa. He didn't answer Christine.  Patrick bent down and picked up Gloria from the sofa. He glanced at Leonard, and the latter immediately went up and took the infusion bag from the temporary hanging iron shelf next to the sofa.  "Mr. Hammond, where are you taking Gloria?" Christine quickly ran to the door of her office before Patrick could walk out, blocking his path with both hands.  Being stopped by Christine, Patrick looked down and glanced at her.  Patrick's gaze made Christine panic. She said, "Mr. Hammond, Gloria hasn't woken up yet. Where are you taking her?"  She thought, 'Patrick didn't look right when he walked in the door.  I know I shouldn't be nosy, but if I turn a blind eye also, Gloria will be left alone. What if the same thing happens again? She will be desperate.'  "Mr. Hammond, you can't take her away right now," Christine braced herself and said. The shirt on her back wa

      Patrick put his hands around Gloria's neck. He clenched his teeth while he started squeezing her neck.  He thought, 'It's fine. With a little more strength, I can get rid of this woman, who can easily affect my mood.  In such a way, I won't be under her influence anymore. I won't do crazy things again, such as driving her to the hospital in the middle of the night.  That's a privilege that even Gabrielle never enjoyed.'  The rational, selfish side of Patrick kept engulfing himself, and he was constantly adding more force to his fingers.  Gloria felt pain while she was in a coma. She curled herself up in a ball and frowned in pain.  Patrick saw every bit of the cold sweat on her face in the light of the bedside lamp.  He loosened his fingers all of a sudden.  He realized that he could not do it. He just couldn't!  He let go of her neck as if he had lost his strength. His hands propped up by the edge of the bed, and it took him t

     Gloria thought, 'I don't get it. How did Patrick know this secret of mine? I don't know how Derrick knew, either.  Was Patrick spying on me?'  Such a thought enraged Gloria. She figured that though she had been imprisoned and was now a rogue without a pack, she still had her privacy.  Patrick waited for Gloria to speak. However, he was running out of patience.  He looked at Gloria and asked, "You won't tell me?"  His suspicion surged continuously. He thought, 'Did something happen between Gloria and Derrick?'  "Has he seen you naked?" Patrick could not help asking.  Gloria felt a sudden throbbing pain in her heart.  She thought, 'Patrick, what do you think I am?'  She clenched her hands gradually, which were on either side of her thighs.  Gloria was silent while trembling in anger.  Seeing that Gloria didn't say anything, Patrick figured that he guessed it correctly. The jealousy was eating him up.  "How much d

      As she heard Derrick's words, Lillian's eyes widened her eyes in surprise.  Her eyes were full of resentment and confusion. She thought, 'Why does everyone want to punish me?'  Derrick frowned while looking at the expression on Lillian's face. Just as he thought, Lillian was ignorant and selfish.  He thought, 'Lillian claimed that Gloria was pretending to be pitiful. I know better than anyone else. If what Lillian said was true, Gloria wouldn't have been so tense when she confronted me. Not to mention that Gloria was so nervous after I found out about her secret.  If Gloria wanted to gain others' sympathy in such a way, she should have lifted her shirt and shown the monstrous scar on her waist to everyone.  Yet Gloria did not do so. She put on a lot of clothes and wrapped herself up. She would not let anyone touch her.  If not for a coincidence, I think she would've kept it a secret forever.'  Derrick pondered for a moment, and then he too

      At Christine's insistence, Gloria came back to Fittro Club to work again only after she was a hundred percent recovered.  Gloria felt that her life was back on track, and nothing changed.  The only difference was that no matter how hard she tried, there was no work arrangement for her, which made her particularly idle.  Emily, her supervisor, would not arrange work for her either.  And Christine would never go against Patrick's words.  Gloria sat alone in the Public Relations Department's lounge. It somehow became her routine till she got off work.  "Time to get off work, finally! I'm beat. But I've got to say. The guest today is so generous."  There were gradually more people in the lounge. Everyone was talking and laughing, discussing today's work. Only Gloria was sitting at the side in a daze.  She looked up and saw a woman pull out a neat wad of bills. Judging from the thickness, there should be at least 10 thousand dollars. The

      Lucas saw how Gloria struggled deep down, and a smile appeared on his lips.  He thought, 'You are indeed a greedy woman.'  Lucas sighed silently.  He figured that Gloria's greedy nature could do him a lot of good since he was loaded.  After a while, Gloria slowly opened her mouth and asked, "What can I do for you in exchange for your tip?"  A trace of surprise flashed across Lucas' face. To his surprise, Gloria did not just take the money away. She wanted to do something in exchange for the money.  Lucas knew women in clubs. He knew those call girls even better.  Most of them hoped that they could gain things without having to do anything, or they would not choose such a career in the first place.  "Nothing. You just need to sit beside me and let me take you back to the dormitory," Lucas said affectionately. He figured that such sweet talk would move any woman.  However, he found no change in Gloria's expression. She just thoug

      'Of course not!' Gloria thought angrily, but she managed to collect herself and didn't shout it out loud.  She raised her hand, pointed at the door, and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Norman. Please leave!"  "I won't apologize to you." Lucas slightly raised his delicate chin, and his face was proud and aloof.  When he turned around and stepped out of the door of Gloria's dormitory, he said, "Your wound will fester if left untreated."  As Gloria watched Lucas disappear, her breathing was a little disordered, and his last words were still ringing in her ears.  Gloria thought angrily, 'What does it have to do with you? What do you know?'  The door was still open. Gloria took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Then she slowly walked forward and closed the door.  Suddenly, a force hit the door. The door bounced and made her stagger.  "Lillian?"  Lillian was at the door, and she looked like a ghastly evil spirit. She said fiercely, "Gl

    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.
