Chapter 71
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 weRelated chapters

"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
