Larissa took the three pieces of priceless emerald and stuffed them into Ambrose's palm as if offering treasures.Her face was full of excitement and asked, "Mister, make a guess. How much do you think I spent on all these? 100 thousand! What a bargain. Mr. Stonehart is probably furious. Haha!" Ambrose stared at Larissa without blinking. As for the invaluable emerald in his hand, he was reluctant to even glance at them. Larissa blabbered on without stopping. Her animated and lively expressions outshone everything else. Ambrose smiled, showing affection without consciously realizing it."Let's go home."Ambrose held Larissa and walked out with her.Fiona was speechless, thinking, "Am I invisible to you?"Larissa saw Fiona's pitiful gaze. She couldn't help but tug at Ambrose's arm, signaling him to wait."Fiona, I'm going back with Mister. Do you need us to drop you off?"Fiona glanced at Ambrose's long face and snorted, "No need. I'll go back by myself."No way she wou
Anna was in a comical state, the sauce dripped down her face with a chicken wing hanging on her hair, dumbfounded."How dare you!"Larissa tilted her chin."Because Mr. Hamilton dotes on me."She played the role of the evil mistress to the fullest, driving Anna crazy. Anna rushed forward on impulse attempting to hit Larissa. Larissa moved in uncanny motions, eerily ahead and unpredictable. In the kitchen of over 100 square meters, she was in control, leading Anna around in a playful manner.Now and then, Larissa would pause to knock Anna's head with a ladle or sprinkle a handful of pepper on Anna's face. Anna looked very disheveled with a chicken wing stuck in her hair, her face covered in pepper, and her body coated in flour.She screamed in anger, "Bitch! Stop! I won't let you go!" Ambrose dried his hair with the towel as he walked downstairs after his bath. He planned to check on Larissa's cooking progress. As he reached the kitchen door, his expression changed. The
Anna has been sent away, and the kitchen cleaned. Ambrose stepped into the kitchen, wore an apron, and prepared two bowls of plain noodles.Larissa rested her chin on her hands, smiling as she watched Ambrose's busy silhouette."He is so handsome. Even when he is busy cooking, he is still gorgeous!" She thought.Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked forward to his noodles.Soon, Ambrose brought over two bowls of noodles. It was simple homemade noodles but made with care. The noodles had vegetables and shrimp, topped with a fried egg."Wow! Mister, the noodles look amazing," Larissa exclaimed in delight.She thought he would cook instant noodles. Unexpectedly, the noodles turned out well and looked quite appetizing."Try and see how it tastes."Ambrose urged in an uncertain voice. He could only manage noodles with his limited culinary skills. Anything more complicated than that would be a challenge to him.Luckily, Larissa was appreciative of his effort, eating like a
Larissa breathed a sigh of relief, aiding Ambrose to sit up slowly."Mister, slowly. Take your time." Ambrose submissively allowed her to take care of him. Larissa went to get a coat and draped it over Ambrose."Mister, even though I drained most of the poison out, there is still some left in the smaller veins. My silver needle is too big for that. So, you'll still need to go to the hospital for an antidote injection. Do you have any go-to hospital or personal doctor?" After thinking for a moment, Ambrose said, "Let's go to the private hospital where I received my therapy. I'm more familiar with that hospital." "Okay. I'll take you there."Larissa found the wheelchair Ambrose used before and helped him into it.To be honest, Ambrose was not fond of the wheelchair now. After spending a year sitting in it, his legs had recovered. Now, he had to sit on it again?"Mister?" Looking at Larissa's worried face, he obediently settled down. Larissa seemed to have a tacit understa
"It's hard to fathom a person's mind," Ambrose spoke earnestly. "When you possess treasure, it may attract malicious intent from others. Promise me. Never tell anyone about your special ability. Keep this secret forever."Larissa was about to promise him when she glanced at the rear mirror. Two black Toyota cars were tailing them. Her gaze turned cold."Someone is looking for trouble."Ambrose, too, noticed the cars behind. He turned on the phone calmly."Don't worry. I'll call Max over.""There is no need. It's been a while since I last did this. Let's play with them."Larissa's voice carried a hint of excitement. Ambrose threw her a soft gaze."Okay. I'll be with you."Larissa flashed him a sweet smile. This was why she loved Ambrose. No matter what she did, he supported her unconditionally.The car Larissa drove was a Porsche GT from Ambrose's garage. The car's design conveyed a strong and dynamic presence. Its speed was outstanding among similar sports cars.Upon seeing h
"Yes, he's back. What's the matter?" Larissa asked.Ethan's tone became cautious, "You didn't say anything to Mr. Hamilton, did you?"Larissa sneered inwardly. Was he afraid she would tell Mister about her dear father arranging a blind date for her while Mister was away?"What would I say?"Larissa played dumb. Ethan was getting a bit irritated, and his tone turned serious."Larissa, where are you now?""At the hospital.""Hospital? What are you doing there?""Nothing much. Mister wasn't feeling well, so I accompanied him to the hospital," Larissa explained."You young people don't take care of your health. Tell Mr. Hamilton to take good care of himself, especially with the weather getting colder." "I know. It's fine. I'll hang up.""Wait.""Is there anything else?""Why don't you and Mr. Hamilton come home for dinner tonight? Charmaine and Henry will be here too. Mr. Hamilton hasn't met Henry yet, right? Since we're all going to be family, it's a good time for them to ge
Ambrose's lips curled into a cold smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes.He said, "Let this be a one-time occurrence. If any of you have ever had ill intentions towards Larissa again, I'll make sure you understand the consequences."Henry's face turned extremely unpleasant, but he had no choice but to swallow his pride.Larissa looked at Ambrose with admiration. She couldn't help but fall for Mister who displayed such a protective attitude toward her.Watching Ambrose and Larissa walk away together, Charmaine felt an itching anger."Henry, why do you keep letting them off the hook? Larissa is bullying me, and you're not even standing up for me!" Charmaine complained.Henry was already quite agitated, and hearing Charmaine's complaint added to his frustration.He wore a serious expression and said, "Larissa is right. Your reckless words can bring disaster to the Huxley family sooner or later."Charmaine couldn't believe her ears."You're scolding me? Look at what they've
Henry swore that if Charmaine were not the daughter of the Sawyer family, he would have strangled her.This woman was not only foolish but also had no filter in her words. Marrying her into the Huxley family would undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble in the future. He couldn't help but think of Larissa again. He regretted why the Sawyer family's daughter wasn't her but Charmaine.Suddenly, a thought flashed through Henry's mind. Is it possible that the Sawyer family's daughter is Larissa and not Charmaine? He quickly dismissed this idea. The emerald necklace around Charmaine's neck may be fake. The story of the Solace family bringing back the wrong child 18 years ago may also be untrue.Yet, one thing is certain. The DNA test could never be incorrect. Henry shook his head with a bitter smile and buried this thought deep in his heart. Although Charmaine is reluctant, she cannot allow the Huxley family to go bankrupt. If she does, she will become a laughingstock. "I'll call Lari
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
