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 is injured! Why are you still making fun of him?"
Gloria ignored Stewart's words. She became more impatient and stared coldly at Patrick on the ground. She said indifferently, "Alpha Patrick, are you playing a new trick? I won't buy it. There's no need to pretend like this."
Stewart's breathing quickened as he glared at Gloria. "Gloria! How could you be so unreasonable? He is bleeding!"
He pointed at the blood and roared at Gloria.
"He is indeed a dedicated actor. He even hit himself without hesitation." Gloria's words were getting more and more acerbic and annoying.
Stewart gritted his teeth. He was so angry that his whole body trembled. "Are you blind? He really fainted! Hurry up and get the first aid kit. I need to stop the bleeding!"
Kate was frightened. After a while, she reacted and said hurriedly, "I'll go get it."
Gloria's face darkened. She said expressionlessly, "When you are done, please leave. You are not welcome here."
"What?" Stewart looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger. "Gloria, you've changed a lot. I don't know you anymore."
"What do you want me to do? What else can I do? I have escaped from him, but he came and pestered me again!" Gloria pointed at Patrick, who was being protected by Hank. For a moment, her heart ached as if it was torn apart.
She took a deep breath to suppress the pain in her heart. She told herself, 'I don't love Patrick anymore.'
She continued, "He is still unwilling to let me go! You know how powerful Patrick is. How can he be hurt by such a push!"
Kate rushed over with the medicine kit. Hearing Gloria's roar, she stopped abruptly at the stairs.
Later, Kate realized that in the past three years, Gloria wasn't as calm as she acted from the outside. Instead, her heart was filled with pain and affection. Patrick came, and the bomb of her emotions finally exploded.
"Here is the first aid kit," Kate said in fear.
Stewart took the first aid kit from Kate and helped Patrick stop the bleeding.
"Give me a hand," He whispered to Hank beside him.
They held Patrick's arm, put it on their shoulders, and stood up.
Stewart said expressionlessly, "Hank, let's go."
After taking two steps, Stewart said indifferently, "Gloria, do you think Patrick won't get hurt just because he is Alpha? He is not a god. He will get hurt, he will be confused, and he will repent for his mistakes in the past!"
Gloria's face was pale. She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end.
Ellison clenched his fists. He didn't want to admit that he was defeated.
Ellison walked to Gloria and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that a push would cause such serious consequences."
Gloria shook her head. "It has nothing to do with you."
Ellison released his grip and frowned in pain.
"What happened to you?" Gloria asked.
"I'm fine." Ellison covered his back with one hand. He shook his head at Gloria and said, "I'm fine."
"Don't move." Gloria walked behind him and lifted the hem of his clothes. There were bruises on his waist. She pursed her lips. "He hit you just now, right?"
"No." Ellison denied it.
The more Ellison denied it, the more Gloria did not believe him.
"Ellison, stop." Looking at the bruises on Ellison's waist, Gloria could not believe that Patrick would be so weak and faint after Ellison pushed him.
"Ellison, I'm sorry." Hearing Gloria's apology, Ellison smiled faintly.
"Why are you apologizing?" His tone was calm.
Gloria fell silent. Ellison wanted to tear apart her calm mask!
"Gloria, I'll help explain it." Ellison lowered his head and said to Gloria with his back facing her. "You are apologizing to me for him, aren't you? Why would you do that?"
He knew that he was jealous, which was why he spoke without thinking.
Gloria's heart skipped a beat. She ignored the pain in her heart and tried to speak calmly, "I am not apologizing on behalf of him. You were injured in my place. Although I am not the one who hurt you, I am responsible for it."
After that, she turned around and left. When she walked past Kate, she said, "Kate, compensate Ellison according to his request."
Ellison gritted his teeth. He turned around and shouted behind Gloria, "You know that he won't give up until he reaches his goal. It's not too late to leave with me now!"
Gloria stopped. She turned around and smiled brightly at Ellison. "No need. I can handle it."
Ellison's eyes widened.
"Boss," Kate caught up to Gloria and said carefully.
Gloria walked into the bedroom. She waved to Kate at the door and said, "Come in."
After that, she opened the safe in the corner and took out a bag. "Sit down, Kate."
Gloria sat down on a chair and opened the bag in her hand, "If I leave this world first, take this to my lawyer. This family hotel is important to me. Please help me run it properly."
No matter how innocent Kate was, she could tell that something was wrong. She said nervously, "Boss, are you going to leave?"
Gloria's words sound more like a will.
Kate felt uneasy.
"Kate, listen up. If I'm not here, my lawyer will handle all the inheritance procedures in my name. This family hotel is included. Kate, please help me manage it," Gloria said seriously.
"Boss, what are you talking about? What inheritance? I don't want it!" Kate retorted emotionally.
Gloria wanted to persuade Kate, but Kate was stubborn today. Gloria could only hug her and say, "Kate, calm down, or I have no way to tell you the reason."
Kate said, "Okay. Boss, go ahead."
"A notarial will is normal. Since my family has abandoned me, I can only rest assured that you inherit my property. Moreover, I am not in good health. What if there is an accident? So, I prepared the will in advance. Don't think too much about it," Gloria consoled Kate gently.
"Really? Just in case something happens?" Kate was skeptical.
"Yes." Gloria nodded.
"Alright." Kate was a little unhappy, but she accepted what Gloria said.
Gloria smiled. She hoped Kate could live a happy life.
