  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

    He didn't blame her. He only hated himself for not cherishing her while she was still by his side.Clenching the letter in his hand, he stumbled and slowly turned to leave.His once-proud figure now seemed frail, as if a gust of wind could knock him down."Cline…" Just as he leaned on the car door, preparing to leave, her familiar, tranquil voice called out to him.Hearing his name, he turned slowly, his gaze locking onto her slender, fragile figure under the streetlight.This was the person he'd missed for three years. Just her soft voice was enough to make him want to run to her and hold her tight.But reality was a cold shower, dousing his fervor.He took a step forward, but she retreated three steps, panic in her eyes, as if he were a monster."Don't come closer," she said calmly, her voice clear and unrippled."I've said all I need to. Please don't disturb me again."Cline had hoped she'd called him ba

    Cline released Luana with a hint of despair, staggering back a step.His bloodshot eyes locked onto hers as he asked, "Never at all?"Luana's lashes fluttered, her composure unwavering as she shook her head again.The smile on Cline's lips deepened with bitterness. "What about these, then?"He pulled out a letter he'd carried always, holding it before her. His voice cracked, his eyes red as he repeated, "What do these mean?"Luana's gaze fell on the perfectly preserved letter, and her expression froze—a chord struck deep within.She wondered when exactly she'd lost all hope in him.Her thoughts drifted back to that night when he held her close, their intimacy shattered by his cold words, "Don't delude yourself into thinking I'll love you."She'd felt like ice, realizing she was nothing to him but a vessel for his emotions. Yet now...Luana slowly lifted her eyes to Cline, his composure completely undone.Whe

    Luana fought with all her might, her slender hands clawing at Cline's arms.Her nails bit through his skin, drawing blood, yet he held on relentlessly."Cline!" Luana roared in fury, finally dropping her Dorothy act and staring him down as Luana.Hearing his name from her lips, Cline's eyes reddened further. "You finally admit it..."Luana sneered. "So what if I do?"Cline froze, his bloodshot eyes slowly meeting hers.Her face was an icy mask, devoid of emotion, filled only with contempt.This cold Luana left him at a loss.As he opened his mouth to speak, Luana turned her head, her calm eyes reflecting Cline's pale face."Did you really mean it when you said you loved me?""Yes..." Cline's heart leaped at the chance to connect, and he nodded eagerly, about to confess a decade-old truth.But Luana cut him off, her voice ice-cold, "If you loved me, why wouldn't you wait until our contract ended before break

    "Does it hurt?" Luana silently asked herself.Once, she had known pain—excruciating, soul-crushing agony that had left her curled on a cold floor, voiceless and desperate.It had been a pain that stripped away all hope in this man before her, eroding her very will to live. It had been so severe that even in her final moments, when she'd longed for a glimpse of him, he'd refused even a phone call.That pain was no mere physical wound. It was a despair that seeped into her very being.It was after enduring such torment that she had finally seen Cline for what he truly was—a man utterly ruthless toward her.Yet now, here he was, holding her and asking if she hurt. The irony was bitter, almost laughable.With a cold, expressionless face, she said, "The five minutes are up. Let me go."But Cline, who had finally held the person he'd obsessed over, had no intention of releasing her so easily.He held her tight and said, "

    Cline held tight to her arm, as if he'd never let go unless Luana gave him a chance to speak.Luana, brows furrowed, sighed and relented, "Five minutes, right here."Cline's cold gaze shifted to Dorian, who shot him a glare before turning to Luana."Five minutes, then home," Dorian warned.Luana nodded meekly, "Okay."Only after Dorian strode into the villa did Luana turn to Cline, her voice cool and impatient."Well?"In Dorian's presence, Luana had been the picture of obedience, just as she used to be with him.Now, though, Cline saw a change in her—calm, distant, and edged with impatience.This new version of Luana only deepened the ache in his chest.He longed to reach out, to brush his fingers against her face, but as his hand rose, she flinched violently, stepping back as if struck.Luana stared at Cline's right hand, her pupils suddenly clouded with fear, as if the ghosts of past trauma had res

    Luana nodded in agreement and turned toward the stairs.But after just two steps, she froze, her fingers brushing the banister.Slowly, she turned back, her voice hesitant. "Clarissa, I came back as Dorothy... What about Gehrmann?"Clarissa had guessed that Luana had returned as her sister Dorothy the moment she heard Dorian call her by that name.Clarissa's smile was warm, reassuring. "I won't say a word to him or Cline. Your secret's safe."Relief flickered in Luana's eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, the word soft as a feather.As Luana walked away, Clarissa watched her retreating figure, worry knotting her brow."Is this luck or a curse?" she thought, "Leaving Cline only to be trapped by Dorian."At the car, Luana opened the passenger door and slid in."Home at ten seems early," she ventured, her tone tentative.Dorian glanced over, his indifference palpable. "Make it eight, then."Luana's lips twitched

    Clarissa watched Luana's fingers tighten around the phone until her knuckles whitened. "When I first saw those messages flooding in, I tried luring him out myself—posed as you, planned to bring the cops. But instead of catching a creep, I got..."She trailed off, the memory of the man in the café still prickling her nerves.A man as cold and heartless as Cline—why would he cling to memories of Luana like this?"Anyway," she shrugged, "he never showed. Guess some ghosts stay buried."Luana's voice was a whisper. "These things... they should've been my fight. Not yours."Clarissa cut her off, "If it were me in this mess, you'd do the same. So quit with the thanks already."Luana nodded meekly, her lashes drooping as she glanced back at the phone screen.The mystery gnawed at her—Mr. Night's messages reeked of obsession, yet he hid in plain sight. Why?She couldn't fathom it, and frankly, didn't care

    "I had no choice but to pull a dumb move—I seduced Gehrmann and took Naomi's spot as his bedwarmer," Clarissa said flatly, her voice echoing off the brick walls."I thought I could use him to get back at Cline. Turns out I was dumber than a bag of hammers—Gehrmann wouldn't lift a finger against Cline for any woman." She kicked at a pebble, watching it skitter into the shadows. "By the time I figured that out, he wouldn't let me walk away."Clarissa shifted her weight, catching Luana's profile in the dim light."But don't you worry, Luana. I ain't falling for Gehrmann's charm. This world's got exactly one good man left—Albion. And he's six feet under."So, I won't be that girl anymore—the one who pours her heart out for every little kindness, even when it's not worth it."Mentioning Albion again made Luana's eyes dim as if the light behind them had been switched off.She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow pooling th

    Third Person's POVLuana tightly embraced Clarissa, hoping to alleviate her pain.Clarissa, however, patted her back with a smile and said, "It's alright. After finding out the truth, I was devastated for a while, but then I pulled myself together. I installed surveillance cameras and recorded every moment of their infidelity, which I sent to my lawyer."I won the lawsuit, but I couldn't get the house back. I could only recover the mortgage payments, the money I spent on him, and compensation for emotional distress..."However, what I didn't expect was that someone would expose Albert's bigamy online, ruining his reputation. His company fired him, and no other major firms would hire him. As far as I know, his current salary isn't even enough to cover the mortgage. Plus, his mother has cancer, which is why he keeps begging at my door."Clarissa's voice turned cold as she continued, "He thinks I'm still the naive woman I once was, that if he kneels a
