  As Gloria looked at the check in her hand, her face gradually turned pale.

  She had received a lot of humiliation from previous customers, yet she had a clear conscience.

  She understood that Mike had given her 100 thousand dollars because Mike felt she was similar to the woman he loved.

  But today, she didn't do anything.

  Lucas stood in front of Gloria, half a head taller than her. He lowered his eyes and curled his lips as he admired the woman's expression. It was as if he could see her struggling inside from the subtle changes in her expression.

  And he enjoyed watching it very much.

  Gloria's face grew paler, and there was a hesitant look in her. On the one hand, she felt that she shouldn't take the money. On the other hand, she urgently needed money.

  Suddenly, she slowly raised her head. From her angle, she could only see Lucas' pretty chin and his curved lips. She asked, "Sir, do you need me to do anything for you?"

      Christine asked this because she was afraid that Gloria would put in too much effort to earn money.  Looking at the concern in Christine's eyes, Gloria felt warm in her heart.  Gloria did not want Christine to be anxious. She replied, "Christine, he only asked for a kiss."  Christine could not help crying out in surprise, "A kiss? That simple?" But the next second, Christine fell silent.  A kiss?  It could not be that simple.  Christine saw too many men who were polite in front of others and exposed their kinky hobbies when they were at Fittro Club.  Many of them were werewolves, and werewolves liked to tease humans. They were happy to see humans obey their orders.  This man could have any woman he wanted, but chose Gloria and gave her 20 thousand dollars.  Christine looked at Gloria. Christine did not look down on Gloria. She just felt Gloria was really not the type of most men.  Christine thought that there were very fe

      Christine did not know why Patrick was so concerned about Gloria.  However, Christine did know that Patrick hated Gloria a lot. Otherwise, he would not have tortured Gloria like this.  So, after thinking for a few seconds, Christine said in a euphemistic tone, "Nothing out of the line. The guest just asked Gloria to kiss him."  Christine didn't think Patrick would mind.  After all, guests at Fittro Club asked for a kiss from call girls every day. They would also tip more.  The call girls were also more than happy to earn more tips in such a way.  However, what happened next surprised Christine.  Just as she finished speaking, Patrick, who was in Los Angeles, hung up right away.  Patrick's face was stiff. He looked out of the window, thinking about something. And it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.  Everyone in the conference room was frightened. Patrick, the Alpha, had his usual poker face, and no one knew what he

      Gloria looked at Lillian in silence, while Lillian was indifferent to her line of sight.  Lillian continued, "I left my stuff in the dormitory that day, so I came back to grab it. That's how I found you unconscious on the floor. Then I took you to the hospital at once. I don't dare to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't come back that day."  Gloria frowned. Was Lillian talking to her?  It didn't sound like that. She felt that Lillian wanted someone else to hear.  So, who could it be?  Gloria was not stupid. She subconsciously turned around to look behind her.  Just as she turned around, she felt a pair of hands on her waist, and she was lifted in the air.  Someone helped her, breaking her free from Lillian's grip. Her back was leaning against a warm body.  A melodious male voice came from behind Gloria. "Gloria, I think you owe your thanks to Miss Santos."  The voice belonged to Derrick, the man Gloria had met twice in

      Toby Terry, who was from the Blue Moon Pack, was a little confused. He looked in the direction where Derrick was pointing.  It was just the door to Room 3.  Derrick continued, "A beautiful woman will walk through this door shortly after. She is a delight. Mr. Terry, I'm being a sincere friend here."  As Derrick spoke, he gave Toby a meaningful smile that all men understood and patted Toby's arm. "You know what I'm saying, Mr. Terry?"  "I sure do." Toby looked elegant, and that didn't stop him from understanding what Derrick was implying.  Toby was the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, which was next door to Derrick's Blood Moon Pack. The two packs shared a friendly relationship. To some extent, they could be considered alliances.  Toby smiled meaningfully and said, "No wonder others praise Fittro Club as werewolves' heaven."  Derrick motioned to Toby and said, "Mr. Terry, and friends, I'm afraid I'll take my leave now."  Before leaving th

      Toby pointed at the transparent container just sent in and said, "Miss Santos, have you ever seen the diving performance? This is what you need to perform, Miss Santos. Please enter the container."  Then, the workers who carried the container in quickly went to the bathroom. They used a nylon pipe to connect the faucet to the container and fill it with water. The water gradually filled the transparent container with a splashing sound.  Lillian's face became completely pale.  "I will die." Lillian shook her head repulsively.  "We won't watch you die." Toby smiled even more kindly and said, "It usually takes four to six minutes for a person to die from drowning. As soon as you stay in the water for three minutes, we will get someone to go in and pull you out."  "If that's the case, why are you offering two hundred thousand dollars?"  Lillian still maintained her sense though tempted by a large sum of money.  "Miss Santos, accidents happen fr

      Toby smiled at Gloria's words. He thought that Gloria was indeed much more interesting than Lillian.  "I've heard that you love money very much."  Gloria lowered her head without any reply.  Everyone knew she loved money very much.  Gloria curled her lips into an unfathomable smile. She looked up and said, "Yes, and that's why I agreed to risk my life to do it."  "Alright! Four hundred thousand dollars! Deal!" Toby smiled, his eyes shining.  Gloria was ugly but indeed very special.  Gloria was thrown into the container. She wrapped herself tightly in her clothes and wouldn't take them off.  The water was already above her head. Her clothes, soaked to the skin, grew heavier and dragged her down further.  In the beginning, Gloria could still open her eyes and watch the werewolves standing in front of the transparent container and staring at her amusingly.  Toby looked gentle with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. But at this m

      Lillian looked at the scene in horror. She was shocked and terrified.  Lillian fell to the floor in a panic. Her limbs were cold as she looked in horror at Gloria, who was in the rectangular container. She didn't know whether Gloria was still alive or not.  Patrick would occasionally show up at Fittro Club. She did not know who he was before. However, she knew from Toby's plea to Patrick that Patrick was the mysterious Mr. Hammond, the man behind Fittro Club.  After finding out who Patrick was, Lillian was overwhelmed by fear.  She hoped that nothing would happen to Gloria. In such a case, she would not be punished.  Yet at the same time, she also hoped that Gloria could just die. What if Gloria woke up and told Patrick, the owner of Fittro Club?  Seeing that Patrick was so anxious, Lillian immediately struggled to get up. Then she stumbled to Patrick's side.  She pretended to be concerned and said to Patrick, "Mr. Hammond, your hand is bleeding. You must do something about i

     Patrick held Gloria's hand. His anger was soothed, and he became calm.  For some reason, he felt warm.  He didn't know how long had passed. Finally, she coughed a few times.  As she spat out water, she coughed again.  Gloria opened her eyes, which were both sore and painful. Her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see the face of the person in front of her.  She moved her lips and said, "Money."  Patrick looked indescribably excited. Seeing her lips move, he quickly asked, "What did you say?"  Gloria's pale lips moved slightly. She said with difficulty, "Mr. Terry, my money."  All of a sudden, the air froze.  It was as if someone hit the pause button.  The excitement in Patrick's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by indifference. He said, "How much?"  His voice regained its usual coldness.  "Mr. Terry, you promised that you would pay me 400 thousand dollars for my performance."  Gloria did not see the person in front of her clearly. Yet, the sense of being near him s

    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

    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
