 "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.

     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

     Lillian had now lost her job at Fittro Club as well as Derrick.  She was now looking for a new job. However, it was almost impossible for her to land a job with generous pay like Fittro Club.  What was more, her voice had become hoarse and unpleasant after she was punished by Patrick and Derrick. All of this added up to her anger and resentment.  Of course, she refused to leave just like that.  "You can't get rid of me," Lillian said as she raised her head.  Gloria nodded. She picked up her phone and called Christine. She said, "Christine, I would like to ask you to pass a message for me to Mr. Hammond. Tell him that I'd like to take back my plea. I no longer want Mr. Hammond to spare Lillian's life. I'm willing to pay any price for that."  Lillian heard Gloria's every word. Immediately, Lillian's face turned pale. She quickly said, "Gloria, no!"  Gloria did not hang up the phone. She glanced at Lillian and said to Christine over the phone,

    "Clarissa..." Albert wept and pleaded, "My mom has cancer, I got fired from my job, and the baby still needs milk. For the sake of our years together, treat me like a beggar and spare me a little help.""If you were truly a beggar, I'd give you some money to send you on your way, but you're not..."A clear voice cut through the air, tinged with exhaustion, coldness, and a hint of ruthlessness. "You're nothing but scum!""Clarissa!""Gag him and get him out of my sight!"At the command, the bodyguards immediately seized Albert and shoved him into the elevator."Humph, this despicable man!"Luana followed the voice and spotted a familiar figure leaning against the bar.The woman had a slender figure, waist-length curly hair, and fair, slender fingers holding a slender cigarette, while her other hand toyed with a wine glass.She tilted her head, staring into the red wine in her glass, as if observing another world from afar

    Upon learning of this possibility, Cline simply said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.He gazed once more in the direction the black luxury car had vanished, now more certain than ever that Dorian had taken his Luana.However, he refused to believe they were husband and wife.Russell arrived with the bodyguards in a hurry, seeing Cline standing in front of the smashed Bugatti.Thinking Cline's car had been in an accident, he quickly approached."Mr. Moriarty, are you alright? Did you take too much sleeping pill and start hallucinating again?"For the past three years, Cline had been plagued by insomnia, clutching two mementos of Luana and struggling to sleep through the night.Russell, worried about his health, had obtained some sleeping pills from Eva.Little did he know, Cline had become addicted to them. Later, Russell found out that the medication could induce hallucinations when taken in excess.It was these hall

    Cline's brow twitched, his eyes filled with disdain as he regarded Dorian.He strode quickly to Luana, extending his hand with an unyielding tone, "Come with me."Before Luana could refuse, Dorian swiftly acted, his long arm encircling her shoulder and pulling her tightly into his embrace. A provocative smile played on his lips as he challenged, "On what grounds?"Cline's vision sharpened with pain, witnessing Luana clinging to Dorian, their bodies pressed close. A surge of rage erupted within him."Because I love her!"Cline's voice trembled yet rang out loud and clear, eight years of pent-up emotions bursting forth like a flood breaking its dam.Dorian, noticing the bloodshot eyes and the fervor in Cline's gaze, felt a flicker of realization. He glanced down at Luana in his arms.Her expression was calm, a faint smile curling her lips as if she had just heard an absurd joke, detached and indifferent.Not only did Dorian not l

    Dorian rolled his eyes at the scene and impatiently pushed open the car door, stepping out to approach the Bugatti.He bent down and knocked on the window, "Dorothy, get out now."Luana, upon hearing Dorian's voice, froze for a moment before pushing away from Cline, who was still kissing her.Her breathing was slightly labored as she coldly instructed, "Open the door. My husband's here!"Cline's body stiffened. He averted his gaze from Luana and slowly looked at the man outside.Dorian, dressed in a gray suit, was impeccably neat. His handsome face and aristocratic demeanor made him look distinguished and aloof. Cline didn't care about Dorian's appearance, but he was annoyed that Dorian had called her Dorothy, not Luana.Cline swiftly fastened Luana's seatbelt and started the car, speeding out of the parking lot without another word.Dorian watched the Bugatti speed away, a look of frustration crossing his face.He muttered tha

    Cline turned on the air conditioning, leaned sideways, and drew closer to Luana.His long, thick lashes lowered as he gazed at the petite Luana, his eyes revealing a longing he had never shown before."Luana..."He uttered her name as if it had taken all his strength.Luana opened her mouth to retort, but Cline suddenly gripped the back of her head with one hand, pressing her into his embrace.He whispered into her ear, "I... miss you so much."For three years, he had thought of her obsessively, to the point of madness, sleeplessness, and even hallucinations from medication.Now that he had found her alive and well, how could he let her go so easily?A flicker of disbelief crossed Luana's previously calm face, followed by a cold sneer in her heart.Would Cline truly miss her? He had never cared before. How could he miss her now?Was it because she was gone, and he couldn't find anyone to replace Runa, that he reme

    For the past three years, his heart had felt hollow, a persistent ache that never truly subsided.Now, in this moment of holding Luana close, his restless heart finally found its resting place.To Cline, having someone he longed for still alive was like reclaiming what had been lost.He held Luana tightly, his throat constricting with emotion, unable to utter a word, wishing only to merge her into his very being and feel her presence undeniably.Luana, however, was perplexed by Cline's behavior.It was uncharacteristic of him—cold and distant at their airport encounter, avoiding even a glance, yet now he was uncharacteristically intimate.She wondered if the three years apart had taken a toll on his mental state.Frowning, she struggled to push him away, but Cline easily restrained her wrist with one hand.He spun her around, pinning her against the car door.Before she could speak, Cline captured her lips in a kis

    Luana stood outside the door, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes as she contemplated Clarissa's changes over the years.Suddenly, the door creaked open from the inside.Angela, holding a child of about three years old, came into view.The little kid clutched a toy car, its round eyes wide with curiosity as it stared at Luana.Luana's gaze shifted between Angela and the child, a fleeting thought crossing her mind that Angela might be staying with Clarissa and Albert.Suppressing her doubts, she asked, "I'm a friend of Clarissa's. Is she home?"Angela froze, sizing up Luana from head to toe, unable to recognize the elegantly dressed woman with delicate makeup before her.It wasn't until Luana spoke that Angela's pupils contracted sharply, her face draining of color, her lips trembling as she stammered, "Y-y-y-o-u..."Then, as if she had seen a ghost, Angela retreated backward with the child, screaming at th

    Dorian had just retrieved his suitcase from the baggage carousel when he spotted Luana approaching.He frowned slightly, his tone laced with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you to wait over there?"Luana rolled her eyes at him. "I was afraid you might grab the wrong luggage."With that, she slipped her phone into her small bag, took the suitcase from Dorian's hand, and began to wheel it away.Dorian, with his long legs, effortlessly kicked another large suitcase toward Luana. "This one's yours too," he said.Luana, though inwardly exasperated, shot a glare at Dorian's retreating figure and pushed both suitcases out of the airport behind him.Once outside, Luana handed the suitcase back to Dorian. "I'm going to meet a friend. Let's part ways here."Dorian tilted his head slightly, regarding her with an expression that seemed to question her intelligence. "You think I came all this way just to see you off?"Luana was speechless again

    This meant he was giving her only one chance. If she refused, she would never be able to return home.Luana felt as if a heavy stone had settled in her heart, making it hard to breathe and preventing her from making a decision quickly.Dorian maintained his domineering posture, observing the shifting expressions on her face with a smug confidence, waiting leisurely for her response.Five minutes passed, and Luana took a deep breath before nodding. "Alright, I agree, but it's only a marriage in name."Dorian let out another faint sneer. "What else did you expect?"He picked up the diamond ring, nodded his chin, and gestured for Luana to extend her hand.Reluctantly, she stretched out her hand, and Dorian casually placed the ring on her right ring finger.After slipping the ring onto her finger, Dorian released her hand and looked into her eyes with his deep, dark gaze. "We go to the church tomorrow," he said.With that, he pocketed Dorothy's passport and turned to leave.Luana raised he
