Trapped by Him

Chapter 15

Feb 22, 2026 13 / 398

All Patrick did was push Gloria to her limits.

He had yet to realize that deep down in his heart, he wanted the arrogant Gloria.

In the past, she would say to him, "If Gabrielle becomes your mate, I'll give up on you!" However, now, she was a lowly wretch who only knew how to apologize!

Patrick was even less aware that behind all his methods of coercing Gloria was a truth he could not accept.

He was the one who changed her!

Patrick found a seemingly reasonable excuse for himself. The reason he humiliated Gloria was that she killed Gabrielle.

Christine heard Patrick's words clearly this time. He asked her to transfer Gloria to the Public Relations Department.

The Public Relations Department of Fittro Club was basically in charge of calling girls.

Christine glanced at the pale-faced Gloria and said, "I understand, Mr. Hammond."

From her experience, Christine had a hunch that something unusual was going on between Gloria and Patrick.

She had never seen Patrick care about such matters at Fittro Club.

Fittro Club was just a small business for Patrick.

"Gloria, come with me," Christine said with a serious tone.

All of a sudden, Gloria raised her head and looked at Patrick pleadingly. "No, I don't want it.

"I don't want it, Mr. Hammond. I don't want to work in the Public Relations Department." Gloria begged Patrick in a panic, "I know I was wrong. Please let me go, Mr. Hammond. I have been in prison for three years and paid the price. Please return my bank card to me, and I will disappear immediately. I will go far away. I promise that I will never let you see me again."

Gloria was trying hard to beg for mercy, and she did not notice the surprise in Christine's eyes when Christine heard that she had been in prison for three years.

Christine joined the Black Thorn Pack two years ago, so she didn't know anything about Gloria.

Patrick narrowed his eyes dangerously, thinking, 'She still wanted to escape?'

Patrick ordered his subordinate through the mind link and made an order.

After a while, someone knocked on the door. Patrick's subordinate came in and handed Patrick a card.

Patrick crouched slowly, holding the bank card between his fingertips. He looked at Gloria, "All the money in this bank card has just been transferred."

Gloria glanced at the bank card and then looked at Patrick in confusion.

Patrick said slowly, "You want me to let you go, right?"

Gloria was stunned. Although she was puzzled, she immediately nodded.

"Do you think I am a good person?" Patrick continued. Gloria didn't answer.

"That's right. I'm never a good person. How could I let you go so easily?" Patrick chuckled.

He looked at Gloria casually. He humiliated her, and he was playing hide and seek, and Gloria was his prey. A bewitching smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Gloria, there is no money on this card now. If you can make a million dollars..."

As he spoke, he waved the bank card in his hand. "I will let you go. How about this?"

Gloria looked desperate and thought, 'He did not intend to let me go at all!

For me, one million dollars is too much I could never make it!

For Patrick, did he even need those one million dollars?'

In an instant, Gloria got Patrick's intention.

Patrick fixed his eyes on Gloria's face, not intending to miss any subtle expression.

His eyes lit up, and his lips curled into a faint smile... He thought, 'Are you trying to escape? Stop dreaming!'

Patrick stood up. The bank card between his fingers was thrown at Gloria.

He said, "Gloria, I don't care what method you use. I will let you go when you put one million dollars on this card. Otherwise, don't even think about running. Don't try to escape again. As long as you live in this world, I will find you."

Gloria said to Patrick, "Mr. Hammond, that's impossible! How can I earn a million dollars?"

Patrick turned to her and said, "Christine will send you to the Public Relations Department. As a call girl, you can sell everything you can think of. The rich guests here have a lot of strange tastes. You will know it soon."

After saying that, Patrick left. Gloria watched Patrick's tall and slender figure disappear from her sight.

Gloria's pale face made Christine feel sorry for her.

"How did you offend Mr. Hammond?"

Gloria turned to look at Christine with a bitter smile. At that time, Christine saw that there was a bite mark on Gloria's pale lips, bleeding.

"Are you alright?" Christine asked.

"I'm fine." Gloria stood up, and she could hardly stand still.

Christine felt sorry for her and was about to help her, but Gloria refused and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Christine."

"Are you sure you are fine?" Christine did not believe it.

Gloria shook her head at Christine and said, "I'm fine."

Staring at Gloria, who was struggling to move forward, Christine could not help but ask, "You know Mr. Hammond, right?"

Christine saw Gloria freeze for a moment. Gloria didn't answer her question but asked, "Christine, where is the Public Relations Department? Will I start working tonight?"

Christine wanted to ask something else, but she changed the topic in the end. "Let's go. I'll take you there."

On the way, Christine slowed down to wait for her. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Gloria's legs. She had not noticed it before, but now she felt that there was something wrong with Gloria's legs.

"Gloria, are your legs numb from crouching?"

Gloria thought for a moment. Now that things had been going on like this, she didn't need to hide it from Christine. She looked up at Christine and turned around, lifting her shirt. "Christine."

Christine's gaze followed Gloria's movements and finally rested on Gloria's waist.

She took a deep breath and said in shock, "Oh..."

Christine's eyes widened in horror. She covered her mouth and looked at Gloria in front of her in disbelief.
