"Derrick, you said that I lied to you and that I hid my past from you," Gloria said in a hoarse voice. "I will say it one last time. I never had the intention of hurting Gabrielle, and I swear I didn't ask any rogue to set her up. Her death was self-inflicted. It wasn't my fault."　　Gloria continued, "Believe it or not, that's the truth, and I don't owe you now."　　After Gloria finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pushed Derrick away.　　However, the only thing Derrick now cared about was that Gloria turned him down. Her words meant nothing to him right now, and he failed to interpret the truth behind Gloria's words.　　He thought, 'She turned me down. She is OK with Patrick touching her, yet she hates me so much!'　　"Don't think you can get away by simply saying that. There is no such thing in the world! Patrick can have you. Why can't I?" Derrick kissed Gloria underneath him madly.　　"Derrick! Let go!" Gloria refused.　　"You wish!" D

　Patrick's eyes were filled with pride. The sight of Gloria like this made him feel that his heart was beating faster. It was as if he was looking at that Gloria from three years ago. He had never thought that he missed that Gloria so much!　　At night, in Christine's office at Fittro Club, Christine had just finished briefing Patrick, when someone knocked on the door.　　Patrick said, "Come in."　　Leonard pushed open the door and entered. He asked, "Alpha Patrick, you want to see me?"　　"I want you to find out if there's something we don't know about regarding what happened three years ago," Patrick said.　　"Do you mean the thing about Gabrielle three years ago?" Leonard was surprised. He asked in disbelief, "Isn't that settled already?"　　"Since when do I need your permission when I do things?" Patrick said with certain Alpha pressure.　　Leonard trembled in fear. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he said carefully, "Alpha Patrick, it has been

　　Ellison gave a mocking smile and thought, 'Patrick, it turns out you can't say no to the Moon Goddess' arrangement either. If you had known this was going to happen, would you have been so cruel?'　　Ellison was very smart. He had figured out from Leonard's behavior that Patrick had changed his attitude toward Gloria.　　He muttered to himself, "I was wrong to think Gabrielle was Patrick's soft spot. Behind her angelic face, she was actually a vicious woman. No wonder Patrick didn't do anything about Gabrielle's terrible death." His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he was thrilled because of the upcoming challenge.　　Ellison dialed a number at once. With a nasty smile on his face, he said to Damon, "I got it. Patrick has already accepted Gloria as his mate."　　As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground through the phone.　　Damon, who was on the other end of the line, lost his grip on his phone and it fell to the

　　Patrick opened the door, got into the car, and drove off without Hank. Hank immediately got in another car and went after Patrick's car.　　Patrick was driving so fast that Hank could only follow him from a far distance.　　Hank watched as Patrick braked abruptly and walked into a building.　　"Miss Carter, here is your new driver's license."　　"Thank you." Before Gloria could finish her words, someone suddenly snatched the driver's license from the service staff.　　Gloria turned around and was about to say something, but when she saw the man's face, her pale lips trembled. "Why are you here?"　　"Are you trying to run away from me?" Patrick's face was as cold as ice.　　"No, I'm not," Gloria denied in fear.　　"No?" Patrick shook the driver's license in his hand. "Then what is this for? Explain it to me."　　Patrick was furious. He kept Gloria's license, and now she came here to get a new one, which could only mean that she wanted to get away

　　With a heavy heart, Damon silently walked up to the sleeping woman and stopped by the bench, his resentful eyes fixed on Gloria's face.　　After looking at the sleeping Gloria on the bench for a long time, he said, "Wake up."　　Gloria woke up when she heard a noise in her daze.　　As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Damon standing beside her. Instantly, she was no longer drowsy.　　She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. Facing Gabrielle's brother, what could she say anyway?　　She figured that Damon wouldn't want to hear her crying foul at all. Yet should she apologize to him? She was the one who was set up. Why should she apologize?　　Gloria slowly lowered her head and did not speak.　　Damon looked at Gloria. He wanted to hear what she would say to him after three years.　　He waited for a long time, yet she did not say a word to him.　　"Miss Carter, don't you have anything to say to me?"　　Gloria opened her mouth, only
