Henry had spent 20 million on it!

However, Henry hadn't acquired it through a professional auction house. Instead, he had made a deal with a few Gemaria merchants.

These Gemaria merchants had hyped it up so much that he had ended up spending the money without much thought.

Later, he started to have doubts, but the gemstone did indeed display a mysterious rainbow light by itself.

Had he really been swindled by those Gemaria merchants? Charmaine's gut feeling told her it had to be Larissa's doing.

How else could her rainbow light gemstone turn into an ordinary opal after Larissa's inspection? But Charmaine couldn't produce any evidence.

She shouted desperately, "It's you! Larissa, it must be your doing! You've ruined my gemstone. You have to compensate me!"

Ethan shouted at her, "Shut up! What do you mean Larissa ruined it? How could Larissa tamper with it when there are so many people around?

"This is just a regular opal. What does it have to do with your sister?"

    Henry had fallen in love with Larissa at first sight.Unfortunately, she was already engaged to Ambrose back then.For the future of the Huxley family, he had no choice but to win Charmaine's heart.But the truth was, he never liked Charmaine. Every time they got intimate, he would imagine her to be Larissa. Otherwise, he would be too disgusted to even kiss her.Now, his beloved woman was in front of him, drunk and unconscious.Henry was not even bothered by how Charmaine had made him lose 20 million dollars.Trying to suppress his excitement, Henry said, "Larissa, I'm sure Ambrose can't please you at all. It's fine; you can always come to me. I'm so much better at it, and I'm sure I can satisfy you."As he spoke, he began to undress Larissa.Downstairs, a helper whispered something to Penelope. Penelope responded with a wicked smile and gave a slight nod to Charmaine.Charmaine felt a rush of joy as she made eye contact with Penelope."Did you see my sister?" she asked the p

    "I won't comment on your complicated dating life. But how can you seduce your sister's fiancé? What if Mr. Hamilton finds out?" said Penelope.She shook her head and sighed, then said, "This is a disgrace to the family. Your father will kill you when he finds out!"Charmaine looked like she was about to pass out."Larissa, I know you must be jealous of me because Henry is such a great man," Charmaine said pitifully."But we're sisters! If you told me, I would've backed out even if I couldn't bear to."She continued, "How can you seduce Henry and sleep with him on such an important day? You're breaking my heart!"Penelope said, "You can't blame Henry for this. He was drunk and out of it; somebody conspired against him."At this point, she was blatantly slandering Larissa.Henry could read between the lines. Penelope was hinting to blame it all on Larissa.He could claim to be drunk and disoriented. He could also say that he only slept with this woman because he confused her for

    As the story continued to unfold, it started to get weird. Even Ella felt confused.What were they saying? Why were they calling her Larissa?Before Ella was able to explain herself, the true Larissa showed up.Penelope reacted first; her eyes fumed with rage.In frustration, she started to question Larissa, "Larissa! This must be some of your magic tricks, right?"She continued, "You were the one who slept with Mr. Huxley. Why is it someone else now? What tricks are you pulling?"You can't deceive me! You were definitely in this room earlier!"Larissa looked at her and said innocently, "Was that not a rehearsal for some talent show stage play? How could I have been in this room?"I was with my dad, chatting with our guests the whole time. It's so weird for you to insist that I was in the room."Ethan was not a fool, so he noticed that something did not add up. His facial expression fell, and he glared at Penelope.Larissa had been downstairs with him, socializing with the gu

    Ethan could tell that Penelope and Charmaine were behind all this.What angered him was how they were attempting to trick people when they were both so incompetent.They caused such a big embarrassment at the engagement party. All his dignity got trampled!Henry Huxley was good for nothing too!He was persistent to date and marry Charmaine. Yet, he had made love with another woman without much thought.On top of that, he also lusted for Larissa.How dared he?Ethan's face was grim. If it had actually been Larissa, Ambrose wouldn't let them get away with it.Ambrose was not the same man that he used to be. His legs had recovered, and he might return to Jaedornia as the heir of the Hamilton family.In comparison to true nobles like the Hamilton's, the Huxley family was nothing.Ethan imagined how Ambrose's anger against Henry would be taken out on him instead …He shouldn't have rushed to agree to Charmaine and Henry's engagement.Charmaine noticed Ethan's facial expressions

    Somebody came and took the two men outside.Scarlett stealthily followed them along the rooftop.She crouched on the rooftop like an agile cat and peeked through the skylight.Few people were seated in the room; it was illuminated by a dim, warm light.These people had menacing postures. It was obvious that they had blood on their hands and were not to be messed with.A man who seemed like the leader asked the two men who joined them, "How was it? Did everything arrive safely?""Somewhat, it was too rushed!""We don't have much time. I was told to load everything onto the ship before daybreak.""Let's see if the ship has docked."Scarlett heard some key information. In a split moment of joy, she failed to control her breath and it alerted the people below."Someone's on the roof!"After an intense fight, Scarlett was overpowered and captured."Bitch, who are you and why are you following us?""I was just passing by and I got curious! Please let me go." Scarlett feigned ign

    Larissa shot a tranquilizer at the back of Scarlett's neck.At that moment, Scarlett felt a sudden surge of dizziness and lost consciousness.Larissa signaled Rachel to take care of the remaining men.Rachel dusted her hands and asked, "Boss, what about the goods?"Larissa gave it some thought and said, "Burn them."Amidst the flickering glow of fire, Scarlett woke up with a stinging sensation on the back of her neck.Shocked, she got up hurriedly, only to almost bump her head against the roof of the car.Scarlett belatedly realized that she had somehow returned to the car.In the distance, flames soared into the sky.

    Larissa said plainly, "We're guests. Is this how you host your guests?"Winston waved at them impatiently. "This isn't a place for kids. Leave this instance!""I'd buy if you actually had anything good. But I can't find anything appealing here," said Larissa with a prideful expression. Winston laughed and said, "You're pretty convincing. Fine, then. Come with me, I'll show you the good stuff."There was another room around the corner.A gemstone deposit that weighed about 800 pounds was lightly sliced at its top. It showed the deep, pure green color underneath. This was the best deposit among all the deposits here.Many people were talking about it."The color is such a pure, vibrant green. This will definitely sell well.""Do you think it'd be an Imperial Opal?""Of all these deposits, this is the only one that can yield the Imperial Opal.""No way. It's been years since Ambrollum City last yielded an Imperial Opal.""If you're not bidding for it, I will!"Soon, the aucti

Your crush isn't here."Ella turned red and refuted, "What are you saying?"Larissa crossed her arms and said, "I didn't specify who your crush is. Why are you so nervous?""I don't have time for your nonsense!" Ella was about to leave when she saw the gemstones laid out in front of Larissa.They were seemingly of low quality. It was obvious that these were scraps.Ella paused for a second. Then, she pointed at Larissa and began to laugh hysterically. "You're so funny, Larissa! Everyone is gambling on gemstones, yet you bought scraps?"Are you here to pick up trash? You're such a joke!"Fiona angrily said, "You're the joke! Do you know how to bet on gemstones? Larissa came for the windfall. But that's none of your business!"Ella dared not cross Fiona. She said in envy, "Ms. Lancas

    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!

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...

    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.

    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.

    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

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!"

    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.
