Charmaine was woken up.She rubbed her eyes as she walked in, complaining, "What are you screaming about so early in the morning, Mom?" Penelope's eyes lit up at the sight of her precious daughter. "Charmaine, come help me up to go take a bath!"Charmaine stayed out till very late the previous night, so she was clueless about what had happened. She agreed casually, then walked over. Charmaine turned the blanket over and the putrid smell of urine and poo filled the room. Without a hint of hesitation, she turned the covers back over Penelope. Penelope was speechless. Charmaine's face turned green from the suffocating stench. She backed up a few steps. "Why do you stink so bad, Mom? Did you shit on the bed?"Penelope didn't feel like saying anything further. Charmaine noticed the slap marks on Penelope's face."Did you and Dad argue? Did Dad slap the shit out of you?" asked Charmaine with a fearful look on her face. Penelope felt like she wanted to die. "I can't help you
Ella was also enrolled at Union College. She and Charmaine were both in the faculty of performing arts. After Ella had caught sight of Owen standing in the distance, she perked up her fake 36D breasts and put on a confident smile. She strode over in a flirtatious manner in her high heels. It was a common sight to see men with their luxury cars, stopped at the front of their college. They were mostly there to pick up girls from the performing arts faculty. These men would place a bottle of water at the top of their luxury cars as an obscure hint. All attention- and fame-seeking ladies knew what the hint meant. They often competed with one another. They kept notes on who sat in which luxury car, or who hooked up with which moneybag. Ella was confident that this man with his expensive car was surely here on a weekend to look for a jolly good time. This man had a bottle of mineral water in his hands. His intention was clear as day. Judging by this man's charming appearance and
The nosy crowd has gathered."Haha, that was a brutal comeback!""Ella's in trouble, and it's all her own doing!""But seriously, who's the luxury car waiting for?"Sporting a delighted grin, Larissa strolled over and complimented, "Mr. Clark, you did a fantastic job!"Owen hastily nodded and bent at the waist as he politely swung open the back car door for Larissa."Madam, it's my duty, please step into the car."Upon Larissa getting into the car, Owen quickly jogged to the front to start the car."Geez! The guy in the back seat is seriously good-looking""That's Larissa's fiancé. The school board director even personally greeted him on his recent school visit.""Larissa's fiancé is so caring, taking the time to pick her up and see her off at school."The luxury Maybach speeded away, leaving Ella in the dust and a face full of exhaust. Ella had a tough time getting away from the ragpicker and she was now utterly humiliated!The scene erupted in unrestrained jeering."Haha
A vein pulsed on Ambrose's forehead. What more could he have done with his dear sweetheart? He had no choice but to pamper her!He wheeled himself to the bathroom and wrung out a warm towel, then gently wrapped it around Larissa's tiny feet, meticulously drying them.In pure comfort, Larissa half-closed her eyes and her toes occasionally twitching playfully, like a lazy kitten."Have you done reading?" Ambrose asked.Larissa confidently replied, "I've finished them all."Ambrose arched his eyebrow. Larissa brought back an entire backpack of books, and they were all incredibly thick, loaded with intricate medical information.Did she genuinely manage to read them all in just two days?"My memory is really good. I can remember everything after reading it once," Larissa confidently stated.Ambrose smiled and said, "Well, I can't wait to see you perform well in your exam tomorrow.""That's for sure!" Over the past two nights, Larissa's intense focus on her books resulted in her
Thanks to Larissa's dedicated treatment during this time, Ambrose's legs have significantly improved, with the previously blocked meridians now mostly cleared.Larissa is confident that with a few more treatments, she can completely clear those blocked meridians. When that happens, Ambrose's legs will be back to normal!Following every extensive use of her special power, Larissa would feel drained.Considering the minuscule size of the blood vessels and the high density of blocked areas, she had to fully utilize her ability through her eyes, maintaining unwavering focus to perceive the blood vessels.Larissa's vigorous reading habits in the past few days had further intensified her physical fatigue. She struggled to keep her eyes open, managing until the acupuncture was finished.After she had plucked out the needles and discarded them into the trash, the overwhelming exhaustion had left her feeling dizzy and incredibly drowsy.Her petite head had tilted to one side, and she had
Mentioning this, Scarlett's voice was heavy with a profound sense of guilt. She graduated from the bodyguard training camp with top honors, and she was ready to shine upon her return.However, to her surprise, she encountered a formidable opponent right from the start, which left her feeling dispirited.Ambrose furrowed his brow deeply and said, "For now, watch and wait. If the party has no bad intent, there's no need for you to take any action. But if they aim to harm Larissa, you must stop them at any cost! ""Roger, Mr. Hamilton! I will always protect Mrs. Hamilton's safety, even at the cost of my own life," Scarlett declared earnestly.Hanging up the phone, Ambrose turned his attention to the slumbering Larissa. The stormy emotions in his eyes dissolved, quickly replaced by a gaze as soft as water.…The next day, Larissa went to school to take her exams. While others' college experience was all about fun and games, hers was all about rigorous exams.Fiona has been intensively stud
In the past, Charmaine wouldn't have given a second thought to wearing such a low-cost gown. However, with Ethan withholding money from her and Penelope being ill, she had to make do.Seeking to elevate her status, Charmaine clandestinely borrowed the diamond necklace from Penelope's jewelry box again.Draping herself with this priceless diamond necklace instantly elevated the $2,000 gown by several notches in grandeur.Charmaine also had a white feather mask custom-made, which made her appear ethereal and gave her the look of a pure, angelic fairy.Once everyone's face was concealed, Larissa's lovely face remained hidden from view. Charmaine firmly believed that she would become the most dazzling presence at the ball!After careful deliberation, Penelope concluded that she couldn't afford to sit back and do nothing.As Larissa had become the apple of Ethan's eye, if she couldn't mend her ways and continued to mistreat Larissa, Ethan would undoubtedly develop a stronger aversion towar
"Oh, I see." Harry was a bit disappointed.Initially, he wanted to ask around before approaching the girl in the black mask for a dance. He thought that maybe it could improve his odds.As the music began, everyone made their way to the dance floor and started dancing.Harry hurriedly turned around to search for the black-masked girl who instantly won his heart. However, he soon realized she was nowhere to be found, filling him with remorse."Harry, maybe we could … " Charmaine was about to make the first move and invite Harry to dance. She was however left speechless when Harry expressed his apologies and headed off to find Larissa.The music had just begun when Fiona led Larissa to the dance floor.Fiona's dance performance was exceptional. Coming from a wealthy family, she had probably been practicing from a young age.Numerous young men were taken with her remarkable dance skills. When the song ended, several individuals came forward to ask her for a dance.Larissa expres
Ambrose faced his back to Larissa.She tried to conceal her grievance and anger, shouting, "Aren't you leaving? Leave then!"He kept his back to her, not daring to turn around.Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, he detected a touch of grief in her voice.Ambrose was frightened of turning around and seeing her tears.As long as he saw those eyes, he would be unable to resist the temptation to be selfish once again, to stay by her side at all costs.He gradually tightened his gloved hands.No. He couldn't be so selfish. He had become a monster, unworthy of her!He wanted to escape, hide, and not let Larissa see his monster appearance. However, he couldn't move at all. His feet stubbornly stayed in place, as if rooted.She walked up to him. She stared attentively at him for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold his hand.Just as her fingertips were about to touch his hand, Ambrose suddenly returned to his senses.Damn it! What was he doing? How could he let Lar
Max's treatment of external injuries was professional.He gently patted the wolf cub's head and said, "Bye."The wolf cub's eyes were full of gratitude. It looked at the humans deeply before running away without looking back.Larissa and her team continued to search for traces of the werewolf in Northernmost.However, they didn't find any useful clues. Max couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you think there would be werewolves here?"She replied, "Although Jackie lied about the wolf cub, I believe he saw something real. No matter what, I'll find him, even if we have to turn Northernmost upside down!"On a mountain several miles away, a tall figure stood against the wind. He stood firm amidst the snowy landscape like a sturdy tree.The wolf cub approached him and affectionately rubbed against his trousers. He lowered his head, giving it a faint glance. "Little fool, don't get caught in human traps again."His tone was stern, with a hint of teaching. The wolf cub lowered its head i
There were no cameras in the hotel room, but there were in the corridor.In a fleeting moment, Larissa finally noticed something wrong.She rewinded the video and played it back slowly several times. Finally, she confirmed what she had seen.She slumped into the chair, completely lost.She knew that something must have happened to Ambrose.Although the footage got grainy right away, Larissa still saw it—Ambrose's hand had undergone some sort of transformation.What on earth had happened? She must find him as soon as possible!Everything was fine last night. Ambrose set off fireworks for her and even used drones to write his vow in the sky.He had done so many romantic things for her. Why did he change overnight? What was wrong with his hand?Larissa's mind was in chaos, unable to make sense of anything. After thinking for a moment, she called Max."Max, send a ship to pick me up... No, send me a helicopter. I have to go back right away."After returning, she immediately aske
Ambrose's pupils shrank.His right hand had completely transformed into the shape of a wolf claw.The mutation continued to spread up his arm, resulting in a thick layer of wolf fur.Dawn was approaching. A faint light shone on the horizon. The distant sea was tumultuous with no end in sight.Ambrose stood on the balcony, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze.He cautiously lifted his right hand. At this moment, his hand could no longer be called a hand.From his fingertips to his arm, it had fully transformed into a wolf's paw. Even more terrifyingly, the mutation was still spreading toward his shoulder.His time was running out.Ambrose stared at his right hand intently for a long time. Until the cold air covered his long eyelashes with a layer of frost, he put on his gloves again, hiding the mutated hand.He returned to the bedroom, where Larissa remained asleep. She appeared to be having a beautiful dream, smiling as she slept.Ambrose sat down by the bed, gazing at
Larissa didn't notice Ambrose's abnormality. She thought he was preparing a surprise for her."Then hurry up, Mister!" She tiptoed and kissed his face before running out with a smile.His gentle smile disappeared after she left.Ambrose stared at his mutated right hand, his expression gradually darkening.He didn't want to appear so hideous in front of Larissa. So, he put on a pair of black gloves, intending to hide it from her.Larissa waited outside, kicking the ground with boredom. After a while, Ambrose came out."Mister!" Larissa dashed for him like a lively bird.He hugged her as he had done countless times before. She hooked her arm around his, and they walked out together.When the restaurant doors slowly opened, Larissa noticed the pink rose petals scattered all over the floor.It was so beautiful!It was evident that Ambrose attached great importance to their wedding anniversary tonight.She stared at his strikingly gorgeous profile. He turned and showed her a doti
A week later, Birdie awoke.She burst into tears upon seeing Larissa. "Ms. Larissa, those people beat me so badly! I thought I'd never see you again!"Larissa tenderly hugged Birdie and patted her back to comfort her. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. I've already avenged you."Vincent stood nearby. He tightly pursed his lips, believing that the punishments meted out to those people were too light.After Birdie had stopped crying, she looked at him and asked, "Vince, why are you still so short?"He felt like he'd been struck by lightning.Birdie was a year older than Vincent. Girls at this age tended to be taller than boys, causing Vincent to be a head shorter than Birdie.He pursed his lips and quietly put away the small cakes he had prepared for her. It took him a lot of effort to snatch it from Victor.Even if he gave it back to Victor, he wouldn't give it to the ungrateful Birdie!Larissa could tell Vincent's thoughts and nearly came out laughing. She barely managed to hold
Larissa observed Fernando, feeling increasingly familiar with his appearance."Hmm... aren't you the guy who owes me a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses? Have your injuries healed?"It was simple for a person to leave a lasting impression on her. He only needed to owe her money.When Fernando heard the familiar voice, he finally confirmed she was the one who saved him."It's me. I'm really sorry..."He didn't hide anything and confessed all of his wrongdoings. After speaking, he nervously waited.Larissa might criticize him harshly, hit him, or even trample on his dignity as Nayla did. Everything was his fault. He was willing to face the consequences.But...She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're quite skilled, huh?""Uh..." Fernando didn't expect her to ask such a question out of the blue. He paused for a moment before nodding.Larissa waved. "Join the Hamiltons as a bodyguard then! If you perform well during the three-year testing period, we'll pro
As the Daltons' men surrounded Max, Nayla managed to flee."Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fernando. "Since you didn't join Nayla in harming Ms. Zoey, I'll let you go. You may leave!"However, Fernando didn't do so. He seemed to have made a certain determination and bent toward Max. "Please allow me to stay by Ms. Zoey's side. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her."Max squinted. "Do you think I'll still believe you?"Fernando remained bent over. It was a posture of persistence rather than reverence. "I won't give up even if you disagree.""Whatever!" Max turned around indifferently and led the Hamiltons' guards away.Fernando soon straightened up. He appeared resolute. Even if Max barred him from entering the Hamilton residence again, he would silently protect Zoey....Nayla stitched up her face at the Dalton residence, her hands trembling violently."Damn it!" She let out a shrill roar and hurled the needle holder violently to the ground.H
Fernando became more certain of the truth when he saw Nayla's panicked expression."Do you want me to believe you? Then show me how you used the silver needles to save me.""I—" Nayla bit her lip tightly. "You hurt me, Fernando. Have you forgotten that I saved your life? You promised to repay me. How could you doubt me?"He returned to his former coldness and stepped closer to her."You're not the one I owe gratitude to. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I couldn't see who had saved me. I'd even forgotten her voice. Fortunately, I've recalled it. Or I'd have no idea how much longer you'd deceive me!"During this period, the humiliations he had endured from Nayla were vivid and echoed in his mind.He had also doubted how a kind woman who would help a stranger could become so cruel.Nayla explained that her parents had abandoned her since birth. Larissa had also caused the death of her grandmother, who had raised her.After returning to her biological family, Larissa r
