Trapped by Him

Chapter 138

Ch. 136 / 398 Feb 22, 2026

Christine was worried about Gloria, so she went out searching for her.

However, Gloria was nowhere to be found. She thought, 'How could she disappear in such a short time?'

Christine thought that since Gloria had no friends, she might have returned to the dormitory.

Therefore, she rushed to Gloria's dormitory. After she opened the door with the spare key, she found no one at home.

She waited for a while, but Gloria did not come back.

Christine was worried that Gloria still stayed in the previous place, so she rushed downstairs and headed back.

She asked all the waiters, yet no one had seen Gloria. And she searched almost everywhere.

She thought, 'Did she go back to Fittro Club?'

Christine called Emily and didn't get the answer she expected.

She checked the time. One and a half hours had passed since Gloria left.

Christine panicked, and her thoughts ran wild. 'What Gloria just experienced was terrible. Will she do something stupid?'

A trace of hesitation appeared on Christine's face. In the end, she gritted her teeth and took out her phone. "Mr. Hammond, Gloria is missing!"

Patrick said immediately, "Make it clear."

Christine did not know if she had done the right thing. She was scared after what had just happened.

Derrick was the only person who could make Gloria laugh, but he hurt Gloria badly.

And so did Gloria's parents and brother.

Wouldn't she feel pain?

Could she really ignore it?

She needed money, and if she didn't care, why would she turn a blind eye to the box of money and leave?

Why didn't she tell everyone that she didn't kill Gabrielle and explain it to Derrick?

Christine felt a sudden pain when she thought of it. Gloria rarely spoke, but in such a situation, she asked if Derrick believed her.

Christine didn't dare to hide anything from Patrick and reported everything she saw just now.

With a trace of anxiety in his eyes, Patrick stood up immediately and said, "Go and look for her. I'll be there soon!"

Without saying anything else, he hung up the phone, picked up the car keys, and hurried to the garage.

At the door, he called Leonard, "Get all the guards in the pack and ask them to follow me."

His cold, commanding tone shook Leonard. He was puzzled and wondered what had happened.

He did not dare to go against Patrick's order. He called the guards and went to get his car.

"You don't need to drive. Go with them."

Patrick refused Leonard decisively.

He gave Leonard an address and then got into the car. He reversed the car out of the garage and turned the steering wheel rapidly. The noise of the engine was ear-piercing, especially on a quiet night.

Leonard was shocked. He met up with the other guards who had rushed over and said, "Go get a car, each of you. It's gonna be a long night."

Something must have gone wrong. And driving alone might make it convenient for each person.

The six guards got into six black Mercedes-Benz and then drove out of the manor.

Damon heard the noise and woke up too. He looked out the window with doubts in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he mind linked Leonard, "What happened?"

"It's urgent," Leonard replied and cut off the mind link.

In other words, Leonard didn't know what exactly was going on. It must be an urgent issue.

Christine heard the screeching and looked over. A car was parked at the door, and she quickly ran to it.

Patrick got out of the car quickly and asked, "Have you found her?"

"No, it's all my fault for talking nonsense with Lucas. Otherwise, Gloria wouldn't be missing." Christine was anxious. She said without thinking, "Mr. Hammond, do you think she would kill herself?"

Under the dim street light, Patrick's heart skipped a beat.

Leo had not told him about Gloria's situation, so she should be fine.

Patrick put away the nervousness in his eyes. His tone was even colder as he said, "Shut up. She wouldn't."

Patrick strode forward and stopped in front of Leonard. Suddenly, he slapped Leonard hard!

"Where is she?" Patrick's cold voice rang out.

Leonard was confused. "Alpha Patrick, who are you talking about?"

"Gloria. I asked you to keep an eye on her. Where is she?" Patrick's cold gaze fell on Leonard.

When Leonard heard Gloria's name, he suddenly panicked, and his face paled. "Alpha Patrick, I..."

"You didn't take Gloria seriously. You didn't send anyone to keep an eye on her today! Yes or no?" Patrick asked coldly.

Leonard's forehead was covered in a cold sweat. Indeed, he didn't take Gloria seriously, and that was because she wasn't a good woman. She killed Gabrielle, and then she even insulted her.

Patrick's handsome face was cold. He pointed at Leonard and said, "I'll deal with you later."

After that, he looked at the guard next to him and ordered, "Gather all the guards of the pack to look for her!"

The guard nodded.

Patrick looked at where he was standing. Suddenly, he recalled the scene of Gloria standing on a springboard next to the pool and telling him she loved him. That was many years ago.

Then, his eyes darkened. He turned around and quickly got into his car.

"Christine, stay here. If you find her, inform me."

Patrick looked at the others and said, "Two of you, go to her dormitory and the company. If you see Gloria, tell me immediately."

With that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
