Gloria did not want to go back to those memories, but they would not leave her alone. But those memories hit her hard and overwhelmed her.
Once, Gabrielle said to her with a troubled look, "I don't like Alpha Patrick." Once, Gabrielle comforted her warmly, "It's OK, Gloria. That's who Alpha Patrick is. Gloria, you're awesome. I'm sure Alpha Patrick will accept the Moon Goddess' arrangement." Once, Gabrielle said shyly, "Gloria, I've found my mate, but I'm afraid of Alpha Patrick. Get him to mark you as quickly as possible, OK? So, I will no longer be afraid of him." That night, Gabrielle pulled an innocent face and said, "Gloria, take me to a pub, will you? I have never been to one before. I'm so curious." Gloria thought, 'How ridiculous. I simply trusted her! After that, Gabrielle was raped by rogues on the other side of the Shadow Forest, and I was sent to werewolf prison by Patrick. I was humiliated and tortured for three years, and eveShe watched as he courteously held the car door open for the woman, and she smiled gently, looking relieved.Inside the limousine, Cline took off his suit jacket without a word.The woman glanced at him and shook her head. "Your obsession with cleanliness is getting worse."Gehrmann, sitting in the back row and looking at his phone, heard this and his expression changed.He quickly put down his legs, sat up straight, and respectfully addressed the woman in the front seat, "Isabella."Isabella turned her head, looked at Gehrmann, and seeing his fear, she smiled. "Gehrmann, you're fearless, but you act like a mouse seeing a cat every time you see me."Gehrmann swallowed hard at her smile but waved his hand as if nothing was wrong. "No, no..."While he said this, memories of being strictly disciplined by Isabella flashed through his mind.The Moriarty family is large and complex, but its family values have always been strict.
Clarissa noticed Albion's eyes filled with shame and knew what he was thinking.She quickly said, "Albion, I'll prepare some gifts and go to thank Cline on your behalf. Don't overthink the rest..."Albion forced a bitter smile.How could expensive gifts ever repay someone for saving his life?He raised his red eyes and looked at Luana, who was standing nearby.He was well aware that Cline had always wanted only her.But it was the same for him. If he chose to let go, what would he do?Luana pushed down the heavy feeling in her heart and said to Albion, "I promised to take care of you for life. I won't change that easily. So Albion, don't overthink..."Clarissa looked at Luana in surprise. She hadn't expected her to make such a promise to Albion.Albion pressed his numb legs hard with his slender fingers. The collapse in his heart made him unable to face them anymore.He turned to Vivian and said, "I'm tired. Take
She felt a pang of regret and heartache. "If only you had listened to me that day..."Albion had always been stubborn, never heeding anyone's advice once his mind was made up.Now, with his legs gone, how would he endure the long journey of life ahead?But Albion didn't seem to mind. He curled the corners of his lips into a faint, indifferent smile.Clarissa knew better than to argue with him further. Wiping away her tears, she turned to Luana."Luana, the Moon Goddess must have heard my prayers and returned my two loved ones to me..."Before Albion could speak, Clarissa interjected, "You just rest there. Who told you not to listen to me?"This remark drew a chuckle from Vivian. "Mr. Preston, I thought no one could rein you in. Seems these two lovely ladies are your match."Albion responded with a gentle smile. "Fortunate I am to be kept in check by them."Vivian, having learned bits and pieces about their story from Sta
Luana snapped back to reality, looked up at Dorian, and stared at him without a word.Dorian bent down, half-squatting in front of her, and glanced at her indifferently."Let me warn you, it's fine to play with Cline, but don't get serious. He's not your true love."Luana sensed there was more to his words, as if he was hinting at something.But she didn't bother to ask. Dorian wouldn't tell her anyway.Dorian didn't plan to say more. After a brief reminder, he stood up and left.Watching the luxury car speed away, Luana felt a heavy sense of relief.She knew Dorian would come back, but for now, she had a brief taste of freedom.But as soon as she thought of the three billion dollars, her body tensed again.Squatting there, lost in thought, she received a call from Clarissa, asking why she hadn't arrived yet.Luana shook off her jumbled thoughts, replied, "I'm on my way," and drove to Clarissa's villa.Clar
Dorian had planned to return to the UK regardless of the agreement. If she refused to sign, he would leave anyway. Why should she bother signing?Dorian appeared indifferent. "Suit yourself. It's not my business if it's someone else's child."His implication was clear—if she didn't sign, he wouldn't leave and would continue to restrict her freedom.Her resolve wavered. "Are you sure you won't make me do anything conscience-shocking?"Dorian's patience seemed to wear thin. "I enjoy doing conscience-shocking things. Feel free to join in if you like."Luana's face paled. She felt Dorian was too unstable. Staying with him might lead to her demise.After a moment of hesitation, she picked up the pen and signed Dorothy's name at the end of the document.Dorian shook his head. "Sign your own name."Luana was puzzled. "Since I'm acting as Dorothy, of course, I should sign her name."Dorian snorted. "Cline could help you re
That night, he held her in his arms as they lay on the sofa, doing nothing but falling asleep like a couple.The next morning, he woke up and maintained the same pose, reluctant to let her go.Recalling these moments, Luana suddenly sensed his love.But for her now, it was all too late.She put away her memories, intending to call Clarissa.Before she could dial, George called. "Miss Hammond, haven't you taken your medicine?"Luana sighed, "Dorian didn't give me the medicine for fear I'd run away."George fell silent for a few seconds, then said through gritted teeth, "I'll deal with him."Luana wanted to ask if the medicine was available domestically, but George hung up before she could.Immediately after, Clarissa called. "Luana, why was your phone off?"Last night, after leaving the nightclub in the early hours, Clarissa had seen Luana's missed call and tried to return it, only to find it off.Worried, s
