Sean copied the video clips from the flash drive into his laptop. Just as Sean was about to click it open, Stewart touched the back of Sean's hand and gave him a heads-up. "It can be hard to watch, be prepared."
Sean didn't take it seriously at first. Suddenly, his eyes widened. He exclaimed, "What the hell?" He pointed at the video that was playing. "This is just the beginning," Stewart said indifferently. Sean shut up. The room seemed to be consumed by silence. Time ticked away slowly before they finished watching the video clips. Finally, the computer screen shut down. Sean's heart was beating rapidly. Sean reached out to take the cigarette from Stewart. After spitting out a large puff of smoke, he leaned against the back of the chair and said, "It should be destroyed." Stewart's hand trembled while he was holding the cigarette. He refused. "I'm afraid not." "We can't let him see it. He will go crazy." Sean felt likAfter driving for a while, Ellison stopped at a remote store. "Look around. If you can't pick up a favorite cup here, we will go to another store." Then Gloria sat down on a recliner. Ellison pretended to focus on picking up a cup, but he was glancing at Gloria from the corner of his eye. "Anything you like?" Gloria noticed that Ellison was looking at her. "Yes," Ellison pointed and said, "I want this set." After stepping out of the store, Ellison found that the red marks on the back of his hand had disappeared. He rubbed that part hard with his back facing Gloria. He looked at the bruise and felt much more satisfied. Gloria led the way in front. She asked, "What kind of lounge chair do you want?" "I think yours is good." Ellison stared at her and smiled. Gloria nodded. "Alright, I'll take you to that store. Things there are a little expensive, but the quality is good." "Okay." Ellison agreed. They didn't spend
In the dead of night, Gloria went to the most remote house of the B&B. The look on her face was cold, yet the sadness in her eyes was more than obvious. "I'm here to see you," she said in a hoarse voice, yet there was no one else in the house except her. The room was dark, but she knew it so well that she walked forward untroubled. She fumbled on the table, lit a candle she found, and it illuminated the picture on the table. It was a portrait of a girl. She looked at it and said, "Mica, I miss you very much." Mica was smiling brightly in the portrait. Gloria did not have Mica's picture. She asked a wandering artist who traveled to Waikiki Beach to draw Mica's picture based on her memory. Gloria clenched her fists tightly, feeling bad. "Mica, if you still don't show up in my dreams, I'll forget your face soon." Gloria didn't want to say that she was lonely, but it was the truth. She missed Mica, but Mica didn't appear in h
Gloria walked forward as fast as she could. She could not move quickly due to her legs, yet right now, she reached the stage within just a few seconds. Gloria squeezed through the crowd, though she wasn't strong to begin with. She pushed her way to the front of the stage and said, "Ellison! Get down!" Ellison's gaze fell on her face. He looked at her and pulled off his belt in a fit of pique. He smiled at her, as if he was saying to her, "Are you going to drive me away? You say it's best for me. What do you know about what I want?" "Ellison! I don't want to bet anymore!" she shouted at the stage in a hoarse voice, sounding like a duck. "It's too late." Ellison's lips moved. He had made up his mind. Instead of leaving, he wanted to win the bet. He wanted Gloria! Memories surged in Gloria's mind. In her eyes, Ellison right now was just like her in the past! But Ellison didn't deserve it! She walked to the center of the stage, b
In the coffee shop, Brad was staring at the door. "Alpha Patrick, over here," Brad said as he stood up. "Where is the photo?" Patrick asked immediately. Brad immediately took out his phone and said, "Alpha Patrick, take a look." Patrick couldn't wait as he took over the phone quickly. Then, his body stiffened. He didn't dare look at the photo. Patrick tightened his grip on Brad's phone. He had searched for so many years, went to various places, and traveled thousands of miles, but now he was suddenly afraid. He looked down at the photo on the screen. At first glance, he knew it was her. "Where is she?" Patrick asked urgently. Brad betrayed Tammy. Patrick sent the photo in Brad's phone to his mailbox. Before Brad could say anything, Patrick left like a gust of wind. Patrick drove while contacting Stewart through mind link. "Do you know Tammy?" Patrick asked anxiously. "Why are you looking for
The next afternoon, Gloria received a text message. Her friend told her that many strangers were looking for her. Gloria panicked and said to herself, "Calm down. Take it easy. Patrick won't be able to find her." Gloria immediately called her friends in Hawaii and asked them not to reveal her whereabouts. Ellison was still living here, and Gloria could not drive him away. "Aren't you going to ask who I am?" On a sunny afternoon, Ellison stopped Gloria in the corner, who had been hiding from him. He said with certainty, "You are avoiding me." Gloria raised her head and said, "I'm not hiding from you. I'm doing this for your own good." "Actually, you're doing this for your own good. You're afraid of being in debt of love, and you don't want to owe anyone. Am I right?" Ellison said angrily. "Is there anything wrong with that?" Gloria glanced at Ellison indifferently. "Is it good for you if I lie to you?" "I actually hope you can
Ellison stood on the stairs. He saw Patrick and ran downstairs hurriedly to stop Patrick. However, when he saw Gloria's reaction, he could not take a step. Gloria came back to life because of Patrick. "What else do you want to throw at me? I'll get it for you," Patrick said. Ellison picked up the broom and said, "No need to bother you, Patrick. I happen to be free, and I'll help her." Hank wanted to stop Ellison, but Danny stopped him. Hearing Ellison's voice, Patrick looked over and narrowed his eyes. "Ellison." "Patrick, what are you trying to do?" Ellison stopped in front of Gloria. He handed the broom in front of her and said, "Madam, here you go." Gloria stared at the broom and asked in confusion, "A broom?" For a moment, she didn't get it. She looked at Ellison in confusion. The corners of Ellison's lips curled into a faint smile. "Madam, drive him out with it." Gloria had a moment of enlightenment.
Ellison suddenly stood up and pushed Patrick hard. He said, "Let her go. You are so selfish! Didn't you hear her? Gloria has no intention of going with you!" Patrick was caught off guard. He had been as fierce as a wolf just now, yet he fell to the ground unexpectedly. Everyone was shocked. Stewart's face darkened. He rushed forward and helped Patrick up from the ground. He shouted anxiously, "Patrick, are you alright?" Stewart felt his hands wet. He reached out his hand that held the back of Patrick's head, only to find that it was covered in blood. He was stunned. "What is this?" Ellison noticed that something was wrong and was about to walk over. Hank ran ahead of him and shouted, "Alpha Patrick?" Gloria's eyes widened in shock and refused to believe that Patrick had fainted. She said in a trance, "Alpha Patrick, stop pretending. Did you fall just because of a push? Stop kidding me." Stewart turned to look at her in disbelief. "Patrick
In the car that headed for the hospital, Patrick woke up. "You scared me to death. You finally woke up." Stewart was relieved. Patrick touched the gauze wrapped around his head. He became sober and asked in a hoarse voice, "He hurt me?" Although it was a question, Patrick raised it with a certain tone. "You remember it? It seems that you are not seriously injured. No wonder Gloria thought you were pretending to pass out," Stewart ridiculed. Patrick was depressed. He took a few deep breaths before saying, "Don't blame her." Stewart couldn't take it anymore. He complained, "You must be sick! You were injured, and she just looked at you indifferently, but you still asked me not to blame her?" "I'm not sick. I'm soberer than ever. I tortured her with all kinds of methods. It's normal that she doesn't believe me now," Patrick said bitterly. "This may be the punishment from the Moon Goddess." Stewart was disappointed by Patrick's s
