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,
Early the next morning, Gloria came to Fittro Club. She put her things into the locker, came to Christine's office, and knocked on the door. "Christine, I'll have to ask you to save for me again," Gloria said and put a stack of bills on Christine's desk. Christine gawked at the money on the desk for a second and asked, "Who gave it to you?" Christine thought Emily had arranged a new job for Gloria. Gloria didn't think too much about it. She briefly explained to Christine what happened last night. Christine frowned deeply after hearing Gloria's words. She looked at Gloria and said, "Him? Gloria, didn't I tell you to stay away from this man?" "But he gave me money," Gloria said. Christine felt a little helpless. If someone other than Gloria had said this, Christine would have despised the person a lot. However, she knew Gloria well. Gloria wanted to get rid of Patrick. Therefore, she had to earn a million dollars in a mon
Derrick dragged Gloria out of Fittro Club. Gloria thought Derrick would take her to some restaurant in downtown Gabbs, but he took her to the back of Fittro Club building. He shifted quickly in front of Gloria, and his wolf was gray-black and huge. He lowered his head and gently bit Gloria's hand with his canine teeth. Gloria put her arms around Derrick's wolf and got on his back. Carrying Gloria on his back, Derrick spread out his legs and started running. She was so light for him and so he could still run at full speed. He ran and took Gloria to a town near Shadow Forest. Derrick put Gloria under a tree, and then he walked behind the trunk and shifted back to human form. "This is the Blood Moon Pack." Derrick walked up to Gloria. He took her to the pack territory. Gloria was not used to her hand being held, but Derrick wouldn't let go. She pulled her hand back several times, yet every time, Derrick would hold her hand again
Gloria found herself despicable. In fact, she had thought about asking Derrick for help, to buy back her freedom from the Fittro Club. "Do you want to say something?" Just as Derrick dropped Gloria off at Fittro Club's door, he suddenly pulled her and asked. "No. Nothing." Gloria felt dry in her throat. She couldn't ask the question out loud. She glanced at Derrick, turned around, and walked towards the club's door hastily as if she was running away from something. However, because of her leg, she couldn't walk fast. She tried to move forward as quickly as she could while dragging her injured leg, like a clown. Gloria did not dare to look at the man behind her. She suddenly felt ashamed of herself and thought, 'You are so hideous, Gloria!' She stood in front of the elevator. The doors opened. She was about to enter. Then she looked up and saw Patrick's angry and cold face. Gloria took a step back. Her guts told her that the man in f
Patrick opened his eyes in the dark and glanced sideways at Gloria, who was asleep in his arms. His gaze fell on her neck, which was covered in hickeys. And then he closed his eyes again. To Patrick's surprise, Gloria left so many bloody bite marks on his shoulder. He didn't get it. Why did he let her do it? And why did he kiss every part of her body so madly? His instinct urged him to get close to Gloria, to make her his. He didn't want to control himself. Patrick also said to himself, "Don't think about it." The next day, when Gloria woke up, her eyes were bloodshot. She gave herself a few seconds to react. Then suddenly, she remembered what happened yesterday. She quickly sat up and looked around. Patrick had already left. As she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a dull pain in her heart. When she got up, she realized that she slept all night while being completely naked. She actually fell asleep next to Patrick!
In the Sea Moon Pack, Mike glanced at Lucas, who was sitting on the sofa in his office, and said, "You seem to be in a good mood these days." "Why shouldn't I? I've come across a very interesting prey," Lucas said with a smile. Mike put the document down, looked at Lucas, and said seriously, "Lucas, stop it. There's nothing funny about it." "Mike, you are an Alpha. Don't you know that hunting is a very elegant sport?" Lucas said. "If hunting is indeed so much fun, how come you've kept going after different prey over the years?" Mike frowned. Lucas raised his index finger and shook it. "The fun of hunting lies in the process. That's what I enjoy. The process is all that matters. Get it, my Alpha?" Mike instinctively frowned. "I'm not that sick like you." "I know Melissa was the only one for you." Suddenly, Lucas found it hard to finish his words. He sensed that Mike had released the Alpha's pressure, which was so suffocating t
Lucas did not care about Gloria's attitude. With an indifferent smile on his face, he said, "Wounds should be treated. Leaving it will only make things worse." "It's none of your business," Gloria said coldly. Then she remembered that she had just received 20 thousand dollars from Lucas, so she adjusted her tone and continued, "Mr. Norman, please don't kiss my forehead again." Lucas looked at Gloria suggestively. He said gently, "Then can I kiss you?" He quickly pecked at her lips after finishing speaking. Gloria lowered her head. A hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, and Lucas did not see it. Gloria asked, "Mr. Norman, the kiss is included in the money, right?" Lucas wasn't offended. Instead, he was very satisfied with the prey he had his eyes on. As he expected, Gloria was not as timid as she let on. "The money includes the kiss on your forehead," Lucas said, feeling pleased. Then he left Gloria's room and stood in the doorwa
Luana never expected that after Cline let Calvert in, he would continue to kiss her.It wasn't until she heard Calvert's voice that she understood his intention.Although she had already let go of Calvert, seeing his eyes turn bloodshot with despair still startled her.She couldn't help but feel that the man struggling to rush towards them wasn't Calvert, but Albion.Because only Albion would lose control when he saw her being hurt by another man.Instinctively not wanting to upset Albion, she struggled desperately.But the more she struggled, the harder Cline kissed her, even going so far as to slide his slender fingers inside her clothes right in front of Calvert."Cline, don't touch her!" Calvert roared in a fit of madness, wishing he could rush over and kill Cline.But his body was pinned down by the bodyguard, leaving him helpless as he watched Cline take possession of Luana bit by bit.Luana forcefully pushed Cline
"So you did plan this with him!" Cline's cold, emotionless voice came from above Luana's head, making her pause for a moment."I didn't.""Then how did he know you were here?""I'm not sure, maybe it's because..." Her explanation was cut short by Cline's cold interruption."Stop making excuses. Getting your bag back wasn't just to contact him, was it?"Seeing Cline's stubborn and indifferent expression, Luana fell silent.He had already made up his mind that she had contacted Calvert to pick her up. No amount of explanation would convince him; it was futile."He comes to pick you up as soon as you're recovering. If that's not premeditated, then what is it?" Cline's distrust and relentless questioning left Luana feeling exhausted.She took a deep breath and replied indifferently, "Yes, I did arrange with him. The day I could walk again, I asked him to come and get me."Hearing her admission, Cline's lips curled into a col
"Remember to use the scar-removing medicine," Eva said. With her delicate and elegant appearance, she was the epitome of beauty—her face couldn't afford to be marred by scars.Eva nodded in agreement and left with her medical bag.As the dean of a private hospital, her schedule was usually quite busy.Had it not been for Cline, it would have been nearly impossible to get an appointment with her.Thinking of Cline, Luana felt a lump in her chest.She couldn't understand his intentions. He was about to get married to his fiancée, yet he kept her locked up at home.Did he want Runa and yet couldn't bear to let go of her?If that was the case, Cline was being incredibly greedy.Luana glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows. At some point, the sky had darkened and a heavy downpour had begun.The weather matched her mood perfectly, prompting a deep sigh from her.As she sat on the bed, hugging her legs and
"Only a day apart, and you're already missing each other so much. It seems your old flame has been rekindled?"Faced with his sarcastic remark, Luana didn't bother to explain. She simply lowered her long eyelashes, hiding the discomfort in her eyes.Seeing her silence, Cline's face turned even colder. His grip on her chin tightened uncontrollably."Didn't you say you didn't love him anymore? Why are you rekindling your old relationship?"Luana endured the pain in her chin and forced a smile at Cline."If I can be your lover for years without loving you, why can't I rekindle my relationship with him?"It wasn't clear whether it was the first part of her sentence that choked Cline or the latter that left him speechless, but it made him so angry that he couldn't find words.Luana glanced up at him and saw his usually frosty, charming eyes gradually turn bloodshot. Her heart jolted, but she quickly suppressed the involuntary feelings that
Calvert seemed to have lost the strength to speak, only managing a faint nod.Clarissa knew his stubborn nature from childhood. Trying to persuade him to leave would be futile. So she steeled herself and told him the truth."Every time Luana is taken away by Cline, she won't be back in less than two or three days. You can't just keep squatting here, can you?"Judging by his reaction, it seemed he already knew who Luana had sold herself to back then.Since that was the case, there was no harm in telling him the truth. He wouldn't stand a chance against that man anyway.Clarissa's words hit Calvert like a sledgehammer, delivering a fatal blow."Every time?" he asked incredulously, his bloodshot eyes slowly turning towards Clarissa. "For these five years... she's been with Cline?""Mm-hmm," Clarissa replied indifferently. That single word, however, almost caused Calvert to collapse.He had thought she had only sold herself once, b
Hearing this, Luana felt even more guilty. "Clarissa, he got hurt trying to save me. Could you tell him to go back to the hospital first? I'll come to see him in a few days."Clarissa latched onto the key phrase. "Save you? What's going on?"Luana briefly explained the incident with Travis's private revenge.Upon learning the truth, Clarissa shouted that she wanted to teach Travis a lesson.However, upon hearing that Cline had already dealt with Travis, she immediately fell silent."So... you're with Cline now?"Luana could only nod in affirmation, not daring to hide anything from Clarissa.Clarissa sighed deeply and muttered, "What a complicated relationship," before hanging up the phone.She put her phone in her pocket and, carrying a large pot of corn chowder, walked towards the entrance of the small apartment.She had been excited to bring the soup to Luana to help her regain her strength, but as soon as she stepped
After Eva left, Cline glanced towards the guest bedroom and noticed the door was ajar. His expression darkened immediately.He unconsciously quickened his pace and entered the room, only to see Luana adjusting the IV drip.Her small, palm-sized face showed no significant emotional fluctuation. She remained as gentle and well-behaved as before.She even smiled at him when he entered, which dispelled his doubts.The volume of his conversation with Eva hadn't been loud enough for her to overhear.Cline subconsciously let out a breath of relief and sat down beside her bed, asking, "Feeling better?"Luana nodded and replied, "A bit better."Then, they fell into silence. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.Seeing that Cline had no intention of leaving, Luana couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Moriarty, could you help me find my bag?"Her bag had been left in the banquet hall at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Her phone and other belon
Cline finally put down the vegetable salad and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth.In the five years she had been with him, he had never taken care of her like this. Luana was utterly shocked.She stared blankly at the man in front of her with her clear, innocent eyes, feeling as if all of this was surreal.Cline, however, didn't seem to find anything amiss. He calmly wiped her mouth with the napkin.After cleaning her up, he took out his phone and called Eva. He asked Eva to bring medical equipment to the villa.Hearing this, Luana quickly snapped out of her daze and said, "I'll be fine with just some rest. There's no need to trouble Dr. Eva."Cline glanced at her coldly, his tone domineering and brooking no refusal. "Whether it's troublesome or not, I'm the one who decides."Luana had no choice but to keep quiet and let him arrange everything...When Eva pushed a cart full of instruments into the room, Cline
Cline coldly interrupted him, "No meeting."Russell immediately seemed a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Moriarty, he is, after all, the CEO of Coburn Group. Right now, people from Coburn Group are constantly asking me for him. I can't keep him locked up forever..."Russell's meaning was clear—he could withstand the pressure for a while, but not for long.Cline's face darkened as he thought for a few seconds, and finally relented, "Let him go."He then hung up the phone directly and looked at Luana, who was examining him.In fact, Luana had already guessed who he was talking about and didn't ask.As long as he was willing to release Calvert, she could thank him later once she had recovered a bit.Cline stared at the IV drip for a while until the liquid in the bottle was completely gone, then he helped her remove the needle.Luana glanced at the three bottles of medicine still on the side. Logically, they should be administered one
