Dearest Princess Chapter 14 The Wholesome Scene Between Father and Daughter
Larissa walked into the ballroom with steady steps. Her actions and smile exuded inherent sophisticated grace. The commotion dipped into silence at that instant. All eyes were fixated on her. Her beauty put everyone in a trance. A minute later, the guests finally began gushing about her identity.Penelope's face fell. She pulled Larissa to a corner, saying, "Look at you drawing attention wherever you go. Is this what I taught you? If you keep standing out while wearing such flamboyant clothes, how would others see us?"Larissa spread her hands. "I can't help it. I was born gorgeous."There were watchful eyes, so Penelope suppressed her anger and lowered her voice. "Today's party is of utmost importance. Don't mess it up, or I'll show up what 'messed up' really means. Behave and stop talking to random strangers. "Charmaine can't drink too much. If someone wants to toast with her, help her take it. If someone's being touchy with her, you should protect her. Be sensib
Dearest Princess Chapter 15 The Collaboration Is Off
"Madam is not in the ballroom. She's in the garden. She … doesn't look well." Owen found it difficult to reply to that question. Ambrose maneuvered the wheelchair in another direction wordlessly.Larissa hugged her knees under the tree, curling into a ball. She rested her chin on her arm. She tightened her arms in an attempt to keep herself warm. Her emotions made her eyes turn red.At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair approached her.Confused, she raised her head. Someone held her hands as her dress spread over the ground along her waistline.Her legs felt numb because she had been crouching for a long time. Suddenly, someone pulled her into an embrace.A familiar scent wafted into her nose. She looked up in a daze and called unconsciously, "Mister …""Sorry for keeping you waiting." Ambrose's low voice resounded, followed by a faint sigh. It took her a while to return to her senses. Resting against his chest, Larissa could hear his steady heartbeat. She slowly cle
Dearest Princess Chapter 16 A Donkey From Mister
Owen couldn't even care less about mentioning Charmaine's name. "The way you mix the truth with lies worries Mr. Hamilton. "He's doubting the Solace family's capability to make the project work. Thus, the collaboration is off." He turned away without looking back.A pale-faced Ethan flopped to the floor.Wasn't Larissa just a janitor at Hamilton Group? How did she impress Mr. Hamilton?"Had he known that Larissa was the person that impressed Ambrose, he wouldn't have credited the merits to Charmaine in public. Charmaine's complexion was equally pale. She was humiliated.The gazes cast upon her were teeming with disdain and contempt. She became the laughingstock among the capable youngsters in Ambrollum City.Penelope, who couldn't comprehend the situation yet, said softly, "Is it necessary to go that far? It's not like Charmaine took the credit from Larissa on purpose."Ethan returned to his senses and slapped her, roaring, "I've told you to treat our daughters equal
Dearest Princess Chapter 17 Cute Strawberry Print
Larissa was getting ready to go home after dinner. Ambrose reminded her, "It's getting cold. You should get changed before returning home."She scratched her head. "But I didn't bring any extra clothes." "I have them prepared." He led her to the cloakroom, where lines of new clothes were of her size.There were shirts, dresses, pants, shoes, bags, hats, and other accessories. On top of that, every single one of them was limited edition.Rich people were indeed big spenders. Larissa jumped excitedly at the sight of the new clothes. "Mister, did you buy all of them for me?""Go ahead and pick the ones you like."She rushed into the cloakroom. "This is pretty. This looks good too!" Ambrose smiled while shaking his head and left the room like a gentleman. After getting changed, Larissa came out of the cloakroom happily.He looked at her, frowning. "Why aren't you wearing long johns? I remember I bought some. You should wear a pair."She made up an excuse. "I don't feel cold
Dearest Princess Chapter 18 Appreciation Banquet for the Teachers
Larissa's clothes were prepared by Ambrose. It was a brand affiliated with Hamilton Group, and every single piece of it was unique. It was difficult to gauge the price because of this.She chose the simplest designs in order not to draw attention. Yet, Jessica deemed her clothes cheap. Some of the students nodded quietly as they thought that Larissa's clothes were pretty as well.Also, Larissa seemed prettier than Jessica, who intentionally dolled herself up.Furious, she snorted, "What is there to compare? Alvin is going to pursue his studies abroad, and I'm going too. It's a prestigious school. It costs about 50 grand a year."Alvin's parents worked for the top management at a company. That was why he was rich.That was why Jessica was eager to get engaged with him after graduating. She wanted to secure the cash cow and pursue her studies abroad too. Making that announcement alone boosted her ego.She continued snobbishly, "Larissa, You don't know much since you're
Dearest Princess Chapter 19 Can't You Go One Day Without Showing Off?
"You'll be learning something today because of Madam Stoll." Jessica acted like she was doing Larissa a favor.Larissa was unbothered. Continuing the argument would be a waste of time. …The Imperial Palace had an early-century interior design. Every single piece of furniture had a touch of classic style.The place had two rules. First, guests had to be neatly dressed. Second, guests should remain silent while enjoying their meals. Despite the fussy rules, it was filled to the brim. It wasn't guaranteed that people could make a reservation there just because they were rolling in cash. They needed to pull some strings too.It was the first visit for most of the students. They marveled at the place as though it was a whole new world."I've long heard about this place. It is lit!""It's so pretty. It doesn't look like a hotel."Jessica said smugly, "Since it's an appreciation banquet, we have to get a suitable place for it."She then smirked at Larissa. "Larissa, I guess
Dearest Princess Chapter 20 The Consequences of Showing Off
Alvin had always had feelings for Larissa, but she didn't reciprocate his feelings. That was why he accepted Jessica's pursuit. Now that everyone was going to go on their separate ways after graduation, he decided to show that Larissa had missed a catch. He said, "Larissa, you know my family. It doesn't cost that much anyway. You can order anything you want. Think of it as a farewell gift."Jessica was turning into a green-eyed monster. "Yeah. Alvin is a big spender when it comes to friendships."Larissa's initial plan was to let it slide after playing a few tricks. She had not expected them to continue putting her in a difficult position.She smiled. "Since you put it that way, I'll add some other items."She pointed at the menu. "Chicken confit, Kobe beef, bluefin tuna sashimi, caviar, and lobsters. Serve one each for everyone. Oh, and one more, get us a pound of white truffles imported from Florin."The waiter was hesitant. "Sorry, we don't have that many white truffles
Dearest Princess Chapter 21 Larissa Wins Again
Alvin kneeled on the floor. It hurt so much that he couldn't straighten his back.Daniel had come with a group of security guards behind him. Before this, he had brought the receipt along to Owen only to be told off by the latter because the signature didn't belong to Ambrose's guest.Daniel broke into cold sweat due to fear. He wouldn't be able to bear the repercussions of mistaking Ambrose's VIP guest.Owen showed him Larissa's picture so that he would know who Ambrose's guest was.Owen added, "She's not someone I can mess with, so you'd better make up for it. Otherwise, you'll be fired."With a grim expression, Daniel led a group of security guards to the scene. He happened to come at the moment Alvin wanted to grab Larissa's hand. He ordered the security guard to deal with Alvin immediately. "Do you know what kind of place the Imperial Palace is? How dare you act however you like over here? We have strict standards for our guests!"Jessica rushed over, yelling, "How cou

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.

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

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

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 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.

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
Dearest Princess Chapter 984 Nayla Turns Into a Monster
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
Dearest Princess Chapter 983 The Dalton's Underground Laboratory
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
Dearest Princess Chapter 982 Fernando Ruins Nayla's Face
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
