  At midnight, the temperature dropped abruptly.

  Gloria woke up when she heard the noise. She listened carefully and found that it was the sound of Patrick rubbing his clothes.

  She sat up quietly and looked under the bed.

  She found it strange. Sleeping on the sofa in the living room was much better than sleeping on the floor in her bedroom.

  If it were Gloria, she would rather choose to sleep on the sofa.

  Patrick was trembling all over. He wrapped his hands around his body and curled into a ball.

  "Are you awake?" In the darkness, Gloria asked slowly in a calm voice.

  The bedroom was silent. No one responded to her.

  "Stop pretending to sleep," Gloria said lightly.

  After a while, Patrick finally turned over. He opened his eyes in embarrassment and looked at Gloria.

  "Gloria," He called out in a low voice to show that he was awake.

  On the bed, Gloria moved. She said, "My feet are cold."

      "Patrick!" Gloria pushed Patrick away, and the quilt fell to the ground.  She glared at Patrick's lower body under the pajamas and shouted, "What are you doing?"  "Gloria, I couldn't bear it," Patrick said with a flushed face.  Looking at his innocent face, Gloria was even more furious.  With a cold face, she got out of bed without saying a word. She ignored Patrick and went to the bathroom.  She scolded herself inwardly as she walked, 'I was such an idiot. How could I allow Patrick to sleep on the bed?'  When Gloria thought of what had just happened, she kept wiping her hand against her pajamas, until her skin was rubbed red.  After washing up, she returned to the room.  But Patrick was still there. "Why are you still here?"  Patrick stared at her with his innocent eyes. He leaned against the wall at a loss and panted slightly. "I feel hot, Gloria. I couldn't bear it."  Gloria clenched her fists. She knew why he was feel

      In a room near the luxurious banquet hall stood a man and a woman.  "Relax," Lucas, in a light-colored suit, approached Gloria's ear and whispered.  Gloria took a small step back, yet no matter how imperceptible her movement was, Lucas still noticed keenly.  He took a few steps back gentlemanly and said with a chuckle, "Gloria, just relax."  She clenched her fists, feeling the sticky sweat in her palms. Of course, she would be nervous. The person she was about to meet was very important to the Carter Group.  "Actually, there's no need to hurry. He comes here every year for a holiday, and usually, he will be staying for a month or so." Lucas' voice was elegant and deep like a cello. "So, Gloria, you really don't need to see him right after you get off the plane."  She shook her head. Even now, her heart was still a mess.  After what happened that time, she fled without telling anyone.  Only she knew what she was running away from.

      Gloria and Klein left, leaving only Heath and Lucas in the large reception room.  "Is it her? The reason why were you willing to owe me a favor and have me fly here? Is she that important?" Heath gracefully walked to the bar counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey.  "Another glass?" He raised the glass to Lucas and gestured.  "She is someone I desperately want to be with, someone I want to just keep for myself." He did not know how important Gloria was to Lucas.  "Mike wanted me to ask you if that person is OK," Lucas said, changing the topic.  "Mike? After all these years, he still hasn't moved on? I always thought that Mike was the only guy who wouldn't let go. But now that I see you, I know that you are screwed as well." Heath shook his head.  Lucas did not explain. He chuckled and said, "Both you and Mike are so full of yourself, aren't you?"  Heath gulped down the wine in his glass and suddenly said, "She is excellent."  "

      For the week after, Gloria locked herself in her room and worked on the project.  Lucas would come to her from time to time. Sometimes, he would ask her to eat with him. Sometimes, he would just lie on her sofa and wait for her for the whole morning.  He did not disturb her, and she had gotten used to his company as time passed by.  Mandy did not call Gloria anymore. Instead, she contacted Gloria through text messages. Every day, she would tell Gloria that Patrick was fine. He ate well and was in good health.  The Carter Group became partners with Heath. Such an outcome was both expected and unexpected.  The moment the two parties signed the contract, Gloria was silent, her eyes lit up all of a sudden as if the thing that she had been waiting for a long time had finally been completed.  It was also at this moment that she seemed to have no reason to continue staying here.  "Thank you, Lucas." She thought, 'He helps me a lot. Without Heath,

      Gloria struggled fiercely, trying to break free from his arms.  "I don't understand what you are saying. The only thing I know is that I am doing great," she said angrily.  "Doing great? Really? Gloria, stop lying to yourself! Are you really doing great? Gloria, are you sure of it?" Lucas blurted out, yet in the next second, he suddenly stopped.  He forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes, and opened them again. When his hand touched her long hair, he stopped. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not living in the past? Then why do you still keep your hair long? Because of Patrick? Is he really that unforgettable?"  Gloria's face turned ghastly pale in the blink of an eye.  "Let go!" She panicked.  She wanted to escape. In such a case, she wouldn't need to face it, so she wouldn't be in so much pain.  Thus, she escaped.  The moment she did so, a strong sense of unwillingness appeared in Lucas' eyes.  Lucas wouldn't le

      Gloria thought, 'What if I could go back in time? What if I get to choose again?  I think I would still choose to work with Lucas because I had to keep the Carter Group going.'  Gloria pulled out the chair and looked deeply at Lucas again.  Then she turned around and left decisively.  As he watched her walking away step by step, staggering, he said, "Gloria!"  Lucas' deep voice was as magnificent as a cell, it echoed behind her.  He looked at Gloria's back, ignoring the sudden sense of loss in his heart. He felt that he had lost something very important.  He shouted at her, "The woman I choose will keep her hair long just for me! That woman will be the love of my life!"  Gloria did not stop. She stood with her back to Lucas, and there was a smile on her delicate face. She said in a tender voice, "Good luck. And goodbye."  At the dining table, Lucas put the last bit of pasta into his mouth. He chewed hard and closed his eyes.

      Camille roared hysterically, "You can't be so heartless! In fact, the Carter Group and the Silver Spring Pack were both Harry's! He has given the Carter Group to you, and you just need to donate marrow to him, but why did you refuse time and time again? What else do you want? I will give you everything you want. Can you save Harry? I beg you."  In the waiting room of the airport, Gloria sat alone in a corner. She seemed to be enduring something desperately, her body trembling.  She clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "If you care about the Carter Group so much, take it!"  She had already put too much effort into the messy Carter Group and did many things unwillingly.  Everyone thought that she had taken advantage of the Carter family.  "I don't believe that you are willing to give up on it. If you do, you are either a fool or a liar. You are just coaxing me." Camille mocked.  Gloria closed her eyes and listened to Camille's voice

      Gloria lay on the bed, and her heart was a mess.  When she entered the bedroom, Patrick followed her in, holding the quilt she had just taken to the living room.  This time, Gloria did not berate him or ask him to leave. Patrick's eyes were bright and lit up with joy.  She had mixed feelings.  She thought of the changes in Patrick over the past few days and what he had done that night. Patrick only had a child's mind, yet he still protected her from the attacks of the vicious rogues.  He could escape, but he didn't.  Gloria recalled that Patrick got up at midnight and warmed her feet.  Which one was the real Patrick?  Patrick lay down beside her. Her body stiffened, and she was about to scold him, but in the end, she moved aside with her quilt and said coldly, "You are not allowed to get under my blanket or touch me. Otherwise, I'll kick you out."  Patrick yawned and asked, "Gloria, will you let me stay if I do whatever you tol

    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

    Clarissa took a deep breath, opened the bedside table, and took out a marriage certificate, handing it to Luana."You two weren't entirely meant to miss each other. At least he kept his promise from when you were young and married you."Seeing the marriage certificate, Luana's eyes welled up.She reached out and slowly unfolded it...Name: LuanaName: AlbionBeside them was a composite photo of the two, dressed in white shirts, with a red background, their faces beaming with happiness.When Luana was eighteen, she had asked Albion, "When are you going to marry me?"Albion, engrossed in a book at the time, looked up and playfully tapped her nose with his pen, saying, "When I'm capable of giving you happiness."Luana pouted, dissatisfied, "But when will that be?"Albion held up his book and replied, "After I've mastered all this knowledge and become someone worthy, then I'll marry you."Luana rested her chin

    Last time, it was her negligence that failed to keep Albion by her side. This time, she was determined to do everything in her power to protect Luana.Clarissa raised her hand and gently patted Luana's shoulder, hoping to offer some warmth.Time ticked by, and they remained in the same position until a man in a gray suit approached.Clarissa looked up at him, noticing his gaze fixed on Luana, and her tension grew.Before she could inquire about his identity, the man stepped forward and gently pushed Luana's head with his slender fingers."It's ten o'clock. It's time to go home..."Luana, recognizing Dorian's voice, didn't lift her head, her lifeless eyes fixed on the floor.Dorian frowned at her silence, then bent down slightly and spoke patiently, "Dorothy, come home with me."Luana raised her weary head and said, "I don't want to go home today..."She wanted to stay and support Clarissa, to quietly live for herself for

    She couldn't believe it. Even with the news reports and Clarissa's own words, she still refused to accept it.Albion, the gentle and considerate young man who had cherished her, how could he have taken his own life in such a tragic way? It was impossible.Luana shook her head in disbelief. "No, he wouldn't do this..."Clarissa stepped forward and embraced Luana. She felt Luana's body growing cold, and her heart ached."Luana, I don't want to believe it either, but..."Clarissa's words trailed off, tears streaming down her face.Three years ago, fearing Albion might do something rash, she had followed him to the cemetery.There, she found no sign of Albion, only bloodstains on the tombstone.Her unease grew as she searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.The next day, the news reported that Coburn Group's CEO, Calvert, had committed suicide at the cemetery.Only then did she realize Albion had truly done s

    "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

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
