Patrick revealed a smile, but there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
He said, "Why are you so sure? What if Gloria is not what you think she is?"
"Then I will still choose her." Derrick was unmoved.
Patrick mocked and said, "You're really in love with her. Are you trying to tell me that your feelings toward Gloria won't change? No matter what happens, you will never give up on that woman?"
Patrick continued, "That's good. I don't want to ruin it for you, but I will watch you. I want to see how much you love her."
Derrick replied, "Let's wait and see."
"Leonard, let's go," Patrick ordered coldly. The rear window of his car slowly went up, and the black car drew a graceful arc in front of Derrick before leaving.
Inside the black car, Christine held her breath. She was afraid that she would enrage Patrick.
Patrick leaned against the back of the seat, his hands on his thighs clenched.
His eyes were cold.
"This is your so-called 'mate'." In his mind, he accused his wolf. He angrily roared in his mind, "She really is a fickle woman. Isn't she intimate with Mike? Now she is dating Derrick. How dare she."
"In fact, you didn't mark her. She is still not our mate. She doesn't have our scent on her, so she can't stop other werewolves from approaching her," Leo complained.
"I won't choose her to be our mate. I won't mark her either," said Patrick angrily.
"Moon Goddess arranged for her to be our mate. Patrick, you will regret it." Leo knew Patrick well and gave up persuading him.
Once again, Patrick felt that Gloria was no longer the person as before.
Back then, Gloria disdained curry favor with anyone, yet now, she had hooked up with one man after another.
Patrick's face was livid. Christine tried to stay as far from him as possible and not to make a sound that would attract the attention of the man who was about to go berserk.
"Leonard, is the bidding for the land in South Gabbs tomorrow?" Patrick suddenly asked.
Leonard, who was in the driver's seat, replied, "Yes, Alpha Patrick. But we have no intention of bidding this time."
"We have it now," Patrick said coldly. "Buy the land."
However, although it was a bidding war, this time, the Fisher family from Blood Moon Pack invested a lot of money into it. It seemed that they were determined to win.
Christine wanted to roll her eyes. She mind-linked Leonard and said, "Leonard, what are you thinking? If this project has nothing to do with Blood Moon Pack, Alpha Patrick will not participate."
Leonard immediately understood.
He carefully glanced in the rearview mirror, and he saw the face of Patrick in the back seat. Leonard's hands on the steering wheel trembled in fear.
Patrick's expression was terrifying.
Christine braced herself and asked, "Alpha Patrick, since Gloria isn't important to you, why do you want to do this?"
In Christine's opinion, Patrick was targeting Derrick.
"Derrick ignored my warning," Patrick said slowly. "He's trying to prove his affection for her. I want to see what he will choose."
Christine shivered. She suddenly felt the air tense.
Christine felt sorry for Gloria. Christine was also there when Patrick had a conflict with Derrick today.
Derrick's behavior was beyond Christine's expectations. At least she didn't expect that Derrick would say something like that.
Christine couldn't see through Patrick's mind. Didn't Patrick know that he had lost his mind at this moment? Today, when he saw Gloria and Derrick together, Patrick was like a husband who caught his wife dating another man.
"Leonard, get two guys to keep an eye on her," Patrick said. "If something happens, inform me immediately."
At first, Leonard didn't understand what Patrick meant. At this time, Leonard suddenly realized that Patrick wanted him to watch Gloria.
Leonard asked tentatively, "What do you mean by 'something happens'?''
He couldn't report everything to Patrick since he was such a busy man.
"Report it to me if that woman cheated on me," Patrick said coldly.
Leonard and Christine had strange expressions on their faces at the same time. If Gloria dared to cheat on Patrick... Did this mean that Patrick had already admitted the relationship between them?
The next day, when Gloria went to work, she was blocked by a figure in the corridor.
"Mr. Hammond," Gloria said respectfully.
Patrick finally showed up again at Fittro Club. He looked down at the woman in front of him, and his heart burned with anger.
He grunted in a low voice and said nothing more.
Gloria walked past Patrick. She lowered her head and moved forward.
Patrick walked behind her and was furious.
He took a few strides and grabbed her hand. "Miss Carter, why are you in such a hurry?"
Thinking of what this woman had done, he had the urge to strangle her with his own hands.
Gloria was tense all over. She said nervously, "I'm off work. Mr. Hammond, I want to go back to the dormitory."
"Are you going back to the dormitory or to see your lover?"
When Gloria looked up, she saw sarcasm in Patrick's eyes. She tried to look tough and said, "This is my job. As a call girl, isn't it normal to go on a date with a man after work? Mr. Hammond, please let go of me."
Patrick was furious, and his hand held tightly onto Gloria's arm.
