Larissa sighed and said, "Mister, just let me soak for another ten minutes! I'll definitely come out after that."You should leave first, or else if I go crazy later, the consequences could be very serious. Ten people wouldn't be able to hold me back, I'm telling you ..."Ambrose found it both funny and exasperating. He really wished Larissa would stop persisting.However, it occurred to him in an instant that she had held on for this long. Asking her to give up now felt like wasting the half-hour cold bath she had taken.Ambrose pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Then soak for another ten minutes, but no more extensions or it might harm your body.""Got it!"He walked out of the bathroom and returned to the living room. He noticed something vibrating on the sofa, walked over, and picked it up to take a look. It turned out to be Larissa's phone receiving a call.Ambrose casually glanced at the screen and realized that it was an overseas call.Since when did Larissa have
Ambrose first caused a series of scandals about Garet to surface, then purchased a large amount of traffic on social media to make these scandals continuously ferment online.With the scandals brewing, the company that claimed to be the most professional financial investigation firm published a financial assessment report about Hill Property.The report primarily addressed the analysis of Hill Property's future direction.It used straightforward and simple language to ensure that the general public could easily understand that Hill Property was on the brink of collapse.In accordance with the report, the plot of land acquired by Hill Property was discovered to have contained radioactive materials. It led to environmental contamination and a significant presence of hazardous substances in the water.This impeded the planned construction of a residential area, causing a sharp decline in the land's value and an extended period of non-profitability.Not only that, but the most direct
You didn't have to be a genius to figure out that Rowan had hurriedly asked his wife and daughter to move out because he was afraid of offending Ambrose."I don't care what other people say. I won't let unpleasant people bother you," Ambrose said.Ambrose's words surprised Larissa, and she felt a little weak at the knees.After Mister's legs had recovered, his confidence and swagger had also returned.Larissa asked, "If, in the future, there's another girl like Miranda who falls crazily for you and I slap them, what should we do if things get messy?"Ambrose was tickled by Larissa's description and said fondly, "Go ahead. Even if the sky falls, I'll be here."Larissa happily kissed Ambrose's cheek. "Mister, I like you the most."Ambrose's gaze on Larissa was soft and gentle.He didn't feel like leaving.However, there were some things that he had to do. He had to get revenge on those who had almost crippled him …The elevator doors opened. Ambrose went to get the car and told
Ambrose was amused at how much she looked like a greedy kitten and said, "I'll go and buy you some."Larissa began counting on her fingers to list out what she wanted. "I want a large bucket of popcorn! And spicy hotdogs, fries, and I also want Coke …"Ambrose didn't mind any of the first few, but when he heard her mention "Coke", he couldn't resist frowning."Don't drink Coke. There's too much sugar in it and it's not healthy!"Larissa let out a disappointed noise and latched herself onto Ambrose's arm, swinging it back and forth."I'll just have a small cup—just one cup! I don't usually drink Coke. Can I have it just this once? Pretty please, Mister?"She held onto Ambrose's arm, pouting like a cute kitten. No one would be able to resist that, least of all Ambrose. He had no choice and said fondly, "You're only allowed to have a small cup.""Okay!" Larissa answered happily. "Mister, let's queue separately. I'll queue up to get the movie tickets from the machine, and you go g
With just one call from Ambrose, his lawyer really did appear on the scene.Larissa blinked as she looked at Owen, who was dressed in a suit and wore gold-framed glasses.Owen pushed his glasses up. "Madam, I am a professional licensed lawyer. Please trust my professionalism. I will ensure that these people who have defamed you will face just consequences."The group of people were terrified. They'd never been in this kind of situation before.Owen stayed behind to deal with the aftermath while Ambrose and Larissa went to watch the movie.They'd been delayed for quite a while. The movie they'd chosen, which was the one starring Zayn, had already started.Ambrose asked Larissa if she wanted to choose another one.Larissa pointed excitedly at the other movie that Starlight Entertainment had invested in. "Mister, let's watch this one!"Ambrose looked thoughtfully at the poster, which was filled with supernatural elements, and asked uncertainly, "You want to watch this one?""Yep!
After the movie, Larissa and Ambrose returned to Hamilton Estate together.Ambrose had initially planned to send her back to her college residence. He had to leave early the next morning and wouldn't have time to send Larissa to college.However, Larissa refused and insisted on returning to Hamilton Estate with Ambrose."Mister, I want to help you pack and I need to prepare the medicine you need. Your legs haven't fully recovered yet so you have to keep taking your medicine."On the way back, Larissa had gone to the pharmacy and bought a lot of medicine.When they got back to Hamilton Estate, she began to conscientiously categorize the medicine and package them into little bags. On each bag, she carefully wrote the medicine's effects and method of usage."Mister, I don't know how many days you'll be gone, so I've prepared half a month's worth for you. You just have to take the medicine one small bag at a time. Be careful not to overdose on it!"The way she was chattering on so s
Was there still justice in this world?He and Rachel had agreed to fight Larissa together. But in the midst of the match, Rachel had betrayed him and joined forces with Larissa to beat him up.Rachel touched her nose abashedly. "I couldn't help it … you just looked like too much of an easy target." It was Zayn's fault that he was the least skillful one on the team.Zayn's sobs increased in volume. "You teamed up to bully me! I'm going to tattle! I'm going to tell Mr. Gale!Larissa felt a little guilty because he was crying. "Okay, okay, stop crying. I even went to the cinema just to watch your new movie!"Zayn stopped crying immediately. "Really? Then tell me, what car was I driving in the movie?"There was an awkward silence.Larissa said guiltily, "Er … I was planning to watch your movie and I'd already gotten the tickets. I actually bought 20 tickets to contribute to your box office sales."But then suddenly someone cut into the queue in front of me so I got into a fight w
Larissa exclaimed, "Are you Zayn?"Zayn took off his sunglasses and said, "Hey there! It's your cutie, Zayn!"Larissa quickly put the sunglasses back onto his face.Confused, Zayn asked, "Why did you do that? I don't want to wear sunglasses in the car."Larissa was speechless.While Zayn's martial arts skills were average, his disguise abilities were exceptional. Joining the film crew had unlocked his new reverse modeling skill, taking his disguise abilities to new heights.It was his newfound expertise in disguise that led him to experiment with unusual looks, thus pushing the boundaries of his skills. He was daring, especially when turning his remarkable face into such a bizarre appearance.How truly unbelievable! Disgusted, Larissa said, "You better keep those on, so it won’t dirty my eyes. But let's put that aside for a moment. You still haven't explained why you're dressed like this."Zayn's face was filled with a sense of injustice, "Have you forgotten?"Feeling confused
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
