Although Charles had said that, it was obvious that he was ridden with guilt.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head in to rest …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he used his hand to support his back and sat back down. His face was twisted from the pain. Larissa helped Charles sit back down.

"You've been having chronic back pain, haven't you? And it gets all the more painful especially when winter comes, right, Charles?"

"That's rubbish. My back …"

Charles had wanted to refute her strongly, but he could only grunt softly when his eyes met Larissa's beady eyes.

"Let's just say that you've got half of that right!"

Even though they hadn't spent much time together, Larissa already had a rough realization of Charles' fussy personality.

So, she smiled and said, "I'll first use acupuncture to help with relaxing your tendons. Then, I'll perform cupping to help with your blood circulation. That should help with relieving your backache."

Charles looked as if he knew about all that

    Fiona, Rachel, and Zayn were like three peas in a pod. The trio hung out together every day. Jessica kept ideating about how she could get closer to Zayn. To her frustration, Fiona kept avoiding her as though she was the plague. No matter how hard she tried to fish for information, Fiona kept her lips tight when it came to matters about Zayn. This day, when they were having breakfast, Jessica turned the television on on purpose. She switched to a channel where a movie, starring Zayn, was playing. She then pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Isn't this Fiona's friend?" Elon turned his head around."What?"Jessica gave Fiona a shy smile. She acted as if she was sorry that she made a slip of the tongue. "I went to cheer Fiona on during her band performance a few days ago. Coincidentally, I saw this man being friendly with Fiona. They looked like they were close. Turns out that he's a celebrity!"Elon stared at Zayn on the television screen. His face showed that he wa

    Jessica didn't care that she was drenched. She dragged herself along and stumbled to the front of Elon. "Trust me, Dad. I didn't push her!" Elon tugged away the leg of his pants that she was holding onto.He said coldly, "The last time when men were hired to gang rape and take photos of Fiona, that was you too, wasn't it? Jessica froze when she heard that. She lifted her head slowly to look at Elon. His expression was especially frigid, so much so that it made her hair stand. It all became clear to Elon when he saw how she looked. The truth was, Elon already had his hands on the evidence. Those people had no idea that Jessica was their client. All they knew was that there was someone who paid them for the gang rape of Fiona. They were to capture the videos and photos to be posted onto the internet so that Fiona couldn't get back up on her feet. Elon wasn't that naive. With such obvious clues, he followed the trail to investigate. In the end, the trail led to Jessica. Eve

    Rachel laughed coldly, saying, "After you fell in, you remembered that there was the electric switch in the water. You thought that you had been electrocuted, which was why you were struggling for your life, wasn't it?" Jessica argued back, "That wasn't it. I fell into the water suddenly, so naturally, I struggled! Also, I wasn't going to push Fiona. I just wanted to scare her from behind as a joke.""The proof is all written on your face, yet you're still denying it? You bought this electric switch off the internet a week ago. What's your explanation for this then?"Zayn dug up the evidence of her online shopping. He also presented her chat transcript with the seller, where she inquired about the electrical power of the switch.He also had her Google search record from when she searched for the voltage needed to electrocute someone. The blood drained from Jessica's face. There was too much evidence for her to deny. "It was just out of curiosity. I never wanted to harm Fiona! Yo

    What other people thought didn't matter. Larissa only needed Charles and Ambrose to be on her side. When Charles saw that Larissa looked more at ease, he continued hastily, "She should take a look at herself in the mirror to reflect on her actions."Hmph! She's not as beautiful as you, her skin's not as smooth as yours, and her clinical skills are certainly not as good as yours. She falls short in every aspect in comparison to you. I'm not sure where she gets her confidence from!""And, she wants to gift antiques to me? Ha-ha, does she think that I can't afford to buy antiques that I like? Would I need her to give them to me? Don't even talk about her gifting a few worthless antiques. I would not bat an eyelid even if she were to present gold and silver stashes to me. She's just a peacock trying to flatter herself!""Put your mind at rest, Larissa. We Hamiltons are best at keeping our promises. Since you and Ambrose are already engaged, that decision is not going to change. You ar

    Charles had spent the recent years self-cultivating. His temper was much toned down compared to when he was younger, and he seldom became enraged at others. But, Lola challenged him time and time again and it infuriated him. Larissa gave Charles a light pat on the back of his hand to comfort him. Charles, who was initially about to explode in anger, simmered down in a trice. He even watched Larissa with a hint of grievance in his eyes. Larissa almost couldn't hold back her laugh. No wonder it was said that people become more childlike as they age. Charles also didn't have the air of someone who was the head of the Hamilton family. He was just an old man who was waiting for his granddaughter-in-law to settle things in the face of his bullies. Larissa gave Charles another pat on the back of his hand, an indication that she would stand up for him. Charles became smug instantaneously. He tilted his chin upward and looked at Lola as if he was telling her that she was finished.

    Lola's tone of voice was intimidating."Whether you end up choosing something authentic or something fake, it's all on you. "My only promise to you is to allow you to choose three items. It is then up to your ability to pick the right ones."She paused before continuing in a stronger tone, "If you were to pick the wrong items, you'd only have your judgment to blame! Haha!"Once she had said that, the crowd was in an uproar. A senior in the crowd couldn't bear looking at the scene any longer. He walked up to Charles' side. In a low voice, he asked, "What's with you, old man? Are you just going to stand by and watch while your granddaughter causes trouble?" Puzzled, Charles looked over at his new company. The senior continued, "You should reprimand your granddaughter quickly. Don't bring upon yourself a debt of five million just because of one impulsive moment. If your entire family ends up in bankruptcy just to help repay your debt, what would all these be for? Young people a

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

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.

    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

    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!"

    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.
