Gloria didn't plead with Warren. She knew Warren was determined to make her suffer. She knelt on the ground and crawled forward.
Every time she moved, the glass shards would go deeper into her flesh. Christine wanted to tell Gloria to stop but was blocked by others.
The Gamma of the Walter Pack said, "Christine, just stay put and watch quietly. If you upset Mr. Middleton, Gloria will suffer even more."
The Gamma was both threatening and reminding Christine. Christine was anxious, yet she did not dare to act rashly.
"My boss will be very angry if he finds out about this," Christine said.
"Sure. Tell me, who is your boss? Who owns the Fittro Club? If he does get mad, just go ahead and tell him that we did this." Warren knew that the owner of Fittro Club was also a werewolf. However, he didn't think the owner would go against them for Gloria's sake.
In Gabbs, though Warren and Lanny's packs weren't as formidable as the Black Thorn Pack, they were quite powerful too.
If those packs joined forces, no other pack would dare to fight them.
Gloria was only about five steps from Warren's feet, but every time she moved forward, she was in great pain.
Sweat was oozing from her forehead, and her clothes were soaked.
She looked up at Warren, and he immediately shouted, "Keep Crawling! Don't you want the money?"
Everyone in the room was looking at her and asking her to crawl to Warren quickly.
Christine wanted to say something to stop Gloria, but they covered her mouth.
Gloria heard their gloating voices, and she saw their eager eyes. She kept her back straight, and her body was tight.
She would soon earn 100 thousand dollars. She should feel glad. However, why did her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe?
Under everyone's gaze, she slowly bent down, lowered her head, and crawled through Warren's crotch.
She thought, 'I crawled through those she-wolves' crotches when I was in the werewolf prison. This is nothing.'
Yet with every step, memories that she didn't want to remember came back to her.
In the prison, in the big bathroom, they cornered her and let her crawl through their crotches one by one. Some more malicious ones would pee on her when she was crawling.
If she said no, they would use water pressure guns to shoot her with bone-piercing water. No matter summer or winter, they would torture her ruthlessly once she tried to fight back.
Gloria had no idea how she crawled over. Her body trembled violently. In the blink of an eye, she was taken back to the werewolf prison three years ago.
"Everyone, look! This is the legendary Gloria from the Silver Spring Pack. She is now throwing her dignity away for 100 thousand dollars!"
"Take photos of her! Now! I can't wait to tweet them after we get back!"
Gloria's face was ghostly pale, and she couldn't hold on any longer. She said, "Don't take photos."
"Why should I listen to you? Do you still think of yourself as the daughter of the Silver Spring Pack's Alpha?"
Christine looked at Gloria in surprise. She only knew that Gloria was the daughter of the Silver Spring Pack's Alpha till now.
Christine thought, 'Gloria has Alpha's blood? Then how come she ends up here?'
Others clamored for photos, breaking Gloria's pretense of toughness. She slowly raised her head and pleaded, "Please. No photos."
"Please? Warren, did you hear that? Miss Carter just said 'please'!"
The mocking voices around were drowning Gloria!
There was only fear on her face. "Don't take photos! Don't take photos!"
However, the more she resisted, the more they wanted to take photos of her.
Their laughter was like a curse, and Gloria's breathing was getting more and more rapid. She shook her head desperately. "No photos... No photos!"
Gloria felt that everything was spinning. She looked up at the revolving ceiling and was losing her mind, mumbling, "Leave me alone, please, just leave me alone..."
Christine closed her eyes in pain as she looked at Gloria.
"You don't want photos?" Lanny grabbed a bottle of wine and squatted down. He handed it to Gloria and said, "Drink it up, and there will be no photos. Do you remember when you forced Gabrielle to drink the whole bottle of whiskey? Did you see this coming back then, Miss Carter?"
Gloria gawked at Lanny, who had disgust in his eyes. "I forced Gabrielle to drink a bottle of whiskey?"
Every word she said was with doubt. She hated to force anyone, let alone use such despicable means against Gabrielle.
"Stop playing dumb. Miss Carter, you were jealous of Gabrielle, so you pushed her and tricked her into drinking that bottle of whisky. Do you think no one would know about it?"
Gloria suddenly cut in and said in a gruff voice, "You got it wrong. I didn't do that."
Lanny glared at Gloria with his vicious eyes and said, "Are you saying that I wronged you? Or was Gabrielle lying? Gabrielle was so drunk when she was walking along the road. Luckily, I bumped into her. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened? Gloria, are you saying that Gabrielle didn't get drunk, or that what I saw with my own eyes was fake?"
Gloria was shocked!
She thought, 'Seriously? Gabrielle got wasted and bumped into Lanny?'
"Did Gabrielle tell you that?" Gloria was befuddled.
Lanny could not stand seeing Gloria like this and shouted, "You are so good at acting! You pretended to be Gabrielle's bestie, and you did all the nasty things behind everyone's back! Do you think you can hide those things from us? How do you explain the occasional bruise on Gabrielle's arm and thigh?"
"Is that what you think of me? Do you think I bullied Gabrielle?" Gloria had indescribable tiredness and pain in her eyes.
She had already figured out the truth.
It had been three years, and she had experienced countless sleepless nights. It was more than enough for her to figure out things she had failed to see through before.
She spent three years thinking over and over again. At first, she tried to find proof that she had been wrongly accused.
However, the more she thought about it, the more clear-headed she became.
