Chapter 1 No.1

Gloria still remembered that three years ago. She stood in front of that gate. She and Harry looked at each other through the gate.

Today, she looked serious and determined. Her steps were slow yet very steady.

Everyone was watching them as they walked in.

Patrick was born to be eye-catching. Nobody could ignore him.

But today, people paid more attention to Gloria.

With a little makeup, it was easier for people to recognize who she was.

"That is ... Gloria?"

"Why is she here?"

"Why is she with Mr. Hammond?"

"I thought she had disappeared."

"That was a long time ago. Don't you know that? I heard from Audrey that Gloria had become a timid woman. She's no longer like before."

Everyone was discussing Gloria and Patrick while looking at them.

Their eyes were filled with doubt and disbelief.

Harry and Alger were chatting with guests. At this moment, they looked at Gloria with gloomy expressions.

"Why is this bitch here? Did you invite her?" Alger asked fiercely.

Harry quickly explained, "Dad, I have seen her for a long time. Besides, she came with Patrick."

Then, Alger suddenly thought of something. 'Did this bitch offend Mr. Hammond again? Is this a disguised punishment?'

As he muttered this to himself, Alger was also thinking. 'What did he come up with to punish me this time?'

But the truth was right in front of him. 'If she didn't offend Mr. Hammond, how could she be with Mr. Hammond?'

"Dad, do you think something is going on between them?" Harry didn't say it bluntly. He was implying that Patrick had taken a fancy to Gloria.

Alger was quite smart. He immediately knew what Harry meant. "How is that possible? If back to three years ago, it might be possible. After all, Gloria said that Mr. Hammond was her mate. However, back then, Mr. Hammond had already rejected her. Now, she isn't good-looking anymore. I do not believe that the Moon Goddess would give her a second chance. Moreover, Mr. Hammond sent her to prison. Now, with that hoarse voice, people can hardly recognize her. If not for Mr. Hammond's order, nobody in the prison would have dared to hurt her."

Harry became worried again and said, "Dad, are we still going to auction off Moonlight Group tonight? Since Gloria is here, I think there might be a problem."

"What problem? Back then, my father spoiled her. She even paid the rogues to harm someone. My father indulged her for about ten years. Her life is ruined. She made the mistake herself. Moonlight Group is now ours. It has nothing to do with her. We decide what to do with it. She has no saying in this." Alger said confidently.

Gloria looked at Alger and Harry through the crowd. Patrick, who was beside her, asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go talk to them?"

Gloria nodded. "I'll go by myself." She had a question to ask them personally.

Patrick chuckled and let go of Gloria's hand. "Alright. Go meet them."

Alger and Harry stood on the side. Harry suddenly got nervous. "Daddy, she's walking toward us."

"Calm down." Although Alger's expression had changed, he still forced himself to say this.

Camille suddenly rushed over. She grabbed Gloria's wrist and said, "Gloria, why are you here?"

Camille was chatting with the female guests. Suddenly, she saw Patrick and Gloria. Then she saw Patrick let go of Gloria's hand and Gloria headed toward Alger. So Camille hurriedly rushed over.

'Why couldn't I be here?' Gloria thought."

"Gloria, go back. This is a very important banquet. Don't make a fuss. Be good and go back, okay?" Camille said in a pleading tone.

"Camille, where do you want me to go?" Gloria suppressed the pain in her heart and looked at her mother calmly.

When Camille heard Gloria call her name instead of "Mom", embarrassment flashed across Camille's face. But she soon restored her composure.

Camille held Gloria's hand and led Gloria toward the gate. Camille said, "Gloria, stop. I'm begging you. Today is very important to us. You can't ruin it. Just go, okay?"

Gloria's shoulders suddenly trembled. Her heart was torn with pain. She slowly came back to her senses and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.

Camille stood in front of Gloria. Camille had delicate and smooth skin and she took good care of her look. There was only a slight wrinkle on the corner of her eyes when she smiled. Camille was wearing a dress worth more than ten thousand dollars. Her makeup was delicate too.

She was Luna of Silver Spring Pack, the wife of the president of the Carter Group.

"Mrs. Carter, you make a fine Luna." Gloria slowly said to Camille, "To be so, you ignored your other responsibilities. Am I right? For example, the responsibility of a mother."

Anger and embarrassment appeared on Camille's face. For over half of her life, she lived nobly and comfortably. How could she bear to be accused like this? In particular, the one who was accusing her was her daughter.

However, she saw Alger and Harry not far away from her out of the corner of her eye. Camille swallowed the embarrassment.

A smile appeared on her delicate face again, but the smile was stiff. She held Gloria's hand and said earnestly, "Gloria, I'm begging you. Just go, okay? I will visit you another time. We have something important today. You should go now."

Gloria lowered her head. Suddenly, her shoulders began to shake. Her emotions surged. With a suppressed and hoarse voice, she said, "Camille, I don't need you to visit me."

Gloria had left the werewolf prison for so long. If Camille wanted to see her, Camille would not have waited until today.

Besides, why was Camille so confident that Gloria would need her visit?
