The Walter Pack, the pack Warren belonged to, was very close to the Silver Spring Pack. Gloria and Warren used to be good friends, and they even went to the same werewolf school.
However, everything changed after Gabrielle died. The pain caused by Warren's insulting words was killing Gloria. Compared with that, being humiliated by those call girls from Fittro Club was nothing.
Though humiliated by Warren, she did not talk back. She just looked at Warren and said, "Don't hit her!"
"You want me to spare Christine? Alright. Then, beg me for mercy," Warren said with a smile. His attitude was frivolous, and his eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Gloria.
"Gloria, don't worry about me. That's all he can do. He doesn't dare to do anything else. Just forget it." Christine looked at Warren coldly and she was in an embarrassing position.
Christine was just an employee of the Fittro Club, so Warren could hit her as he pleased. However, Warren didn't know who the owner was, so he didn't dare to hurt Christine too much, let alone kill her.
Warren slapped Christine again. He roared angrily, "Try me!"
"Warren!" Gloria's eyes turned scarlet. She said, "This is between you and me. What the hell do you want?"
Ever since Gloria met Christine, Gloria had always appreciated what Christine had done for her. She knew Christine had always been kind to her.
Yet right now, Warren was slapping Christine repeatedly in front of her.
Gloria wished she were the one being slapped.
"Tell me! What do you want from me? Warren? Just tell me!" Gloria shouted angrily!
Christine was stunned. She had never seen Gloria talk like this. Gloria had always been cold, joyless, and expressionless.
However, Gloria suddenly turned into a different person after seeing Warren slapping her a few times.
"Gloria, I'm fine, really," Christine said.
Before Christine could finish speaking, Warren slapped her again, making her cheek swell up.
The back of Christine's head fell on the corner of the table and made a dull thud.
Christine fell in front of Gloria. Gloria's eyes lost focus for a moment.
Gloria immediately said, "Warren! I will do as you say! I will beg you!"
Gloria bent her knees and was about to get down.
Warren's voice rang out. He said, "Wait." Then with a clatter, the glass in his hand shattered to pieces on the ground. He smiled wickedly and said, "You may kneel now."
On the sofa on the other side of the room, Lanny was on the phone. He said something to the phone, and then he turned around to Gloria, "Gloria, guess who I just called?"
Lanny continued with a smirk, "It was your brother, Harry. Guess what he said? He said there was no Gloria in the Silver Spring Pack. Damn! Gloria, I feel bad for you. What did you get out of killing your bestie?"
Anger flashed across Lanny's eyes. He glared at Gloria as if he wanted to tear her into pieces!
Gloria hung her head, and no one could see her expression.
She did not refute him. She knew Gabrielle was Lanny's mate, but Gabrielle never acknowledged Lanny. Gabrielle only wanted to be Patrick's mate.
Gloria did not explain herself. Instead, she kept a self-mocking smile on her lips. Since no one believed her, what was the point of explaining anyway?
However, deep down, she still felt a bit of pain because of Harry's words.
Gloria chuckled. Maybe she was laughing at herself, or maybe she was laughing at Lanny or Harry. She smiled and slowly bent her knees.
Christine shouted, "Gloria, no!"
There came a loud sound of knees hitting the ground.
Gloria knelt, and the shards of glass pierced her knees. She was in pain, yet she looked up at Warren calmly. "Let go of Christine."
Looking at Gloria, Warren suddenly burst into laughter.
He said, "How ridiculous. The previous Gloria from the Silver Spring Pack used to be the she-wolf that countless werewolves in Gabbs admired. Look at what you've become. The way you look now reminds me of what you said to me when I was pursuing you back then. You said you were out of my league. You have made me a joke ever since. I am the future Alpha of the Walter Pack, and you think you're out of my league? You think your mate is Alpha Patrick, but he doesn't even want to look at you."
He looked at Gloria, enjoying his moment of revenge. "Gloria, have you ever thought of a day like this?"
He picked up the check on the table and took a few steps back. Then he raised the check in his hand and said, "You want the money? Crawl over. The money is right here." He pointed between his feet. Then he said, "Crawl through my crotch, and 100 thousand dollars will be yours. I'll keep my word. How's that?"
"Gloria, don't!" Christine regretted it. She regretted it so much!
Gloria glanced at the 100 thousand dollar check in Warren's hand while listening to Christine's voice.
All of a sudden, Gloria turned her head to look at Christine.
While looking at Christine, Gloria said in her heart, "Sorry, Christine. I have my path. I still have a lot of things to do. I need to get away from that man."
Gloria took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She thought, 'What's the big deal? It wouldn't be the first time anyway. I got nothing to lose.'
Two more glasses fell to the ground, and Christine shouted, "Mr. Middleton, what makes you so desperate to humiliate her?"
Warren slapped Christine again, making Gloria's heart twitch. She raised her head and said coldly, "Leave her alone."
"Do you still think of yourself as the daughter of the Silver Spring Pack's Alpha? Who are you to tell me what to do now?" Warren looked fiercely at Gloria. "You saying so only makes me want to hit her more."
Warren grabbed Christine's hair and pulled her up.
He looked at Gloria and said, "Hurry. My patience is limited. I'll hit her for every minute you waste."
