Larissa shook her head. "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that I'm not qualified to be a representative."Wyatt sighed and said, "Since you're not willing to attend, I won't force you."Then, Wyatt left with a heavy heart.Larissa hadn't agreed to his invitation for two reasons.Firstly, she was still a first-year student at Union College.Secondly, she was also the countess of Sisilia Island. She was not suited to attend international events like these.But sometimes, you just couldn't run away from fate.Two days later, Larissa received a call from Rina."Larissa, something happened to Dr. Wyatt!""What's wrong?""This morning, Somebody pushed Dr. Wyatt when he was leaving his house. He hit his head and suffered a concussion."Thankfully, he was rushed to the hospital in time and there was nothing serious. He's at the hospital and he'd like to see you."After the incident of the counterfeit medication, Rina had a lot of respect for Larissa.She didn't understand why Wyatt asked for
Everyone looked at the speaker, including the cameras.Audiences of the live broadcast held their breaths too.An elderly man with bandages on his head walked in slowly.He was feeble and even tripped slightly. Everyone exclaimed out of concern."It's Dr. Wyatt from the Medical Association!""Be careful, Dr. Wyatt!"Somebody couldn't help by asking, "What happened to Dr. Wyatt's head?""I heard somebody intentionally pushed him. It caused a concussion.""Dr. Wyatt still came for the competition when he's in that state?""What choice does he have? Many doctors from the Medical Association had accidents and can't show up.""But with Dr. Wyatt in this state, aren't we bound to lose?""This mustn't be a coincidence. How can all the doctors from the Medical Association get into accidents at the same time? This must be part of an evil scheme!"The president of the Medical Association held Wyatt's hand. He said with guilt, "I'm sorry, Dr. Wyatt. I couldn't protect all of you and g
"What? You're neither Dr. Wyatt nor a member of the Medical Association. Who are you to take part in the competition?""Are you taking this lightly? Get off the stage!""Get lost!"The Twilight Medical Council members jeered at her.Wyatt felt restless. He was about to defend Larissa when someone from the Medical Association spoke."That's right! She's not from the Medical Association. She's just an intern, and we have no idea how she got in here."Since she had already gone on stage, we can't stop her. She can represent the Medical Association, but let me make this clear! She's just an intern."So, whether she loses or wins, the Medical Association will have nothing to do with her."He was trying to cut ties.Wyatt glared at that person.The speaker was the vice president of the Medical Association. He looked away from Wyatt's condemning gaze.Wyatt was about to speak when Benjamin stopped him."Dr. Wyatt, we're disadvantageous now. But if Dr. Solace is skilled, why are yo
Larissa invited several other women to test it out, but they all rejected her.Her smile faded and she began to frown.It was clear that Larissa was starting to get impatient.A commotion broke out among the crowd. The Twilight Group representatives' jeering was loud, too."Wow, she made some uncertified product on the spot, and she's asking people to test it out? She's flattering herself!""If it were the Twilight Group's beauty products, I'm sure many people would volunteer!""Who would put their faces at risk for something with unknown ingredients? What if their face gets disfigured?"If nobody would volunteer, the competition couldn't proceed. It was starting to get awkward.At that moment, somebody knocked on the door to the second-floor VIP room.Owen opened the door and found a woman in her 40s standing outside.She had exquisite makeup, meticulously styled hair, and looked very professional.But despite all that makeup, her age showed."Mr. Hamilton, I am Emma Mitch
Emma felt at peace.She'd allow Larissa to do anything to her face!As long as Ambrose promised to collaborate with Mitchell Trading, let her face be!With the agreement secured, she was all in.Members of the Medical Association shook their heads.Somebody complained, "Benjamin, it was a big mistake. You shouldn't have allowed an intern like Larissa to represent us!"The topic is on cosmetic surgery. Does she even know what that means? It means surgeries, injections, and augmentations!"And here she is with her beauty cream. What a joke!"Benjamin frowned as he looked at Wyatt."Dr. Wyatt, are you feeling better? Do you think you can take part in the next round?"Wyatt felt unsure, but he had seen Larissa's acupuncture skills. He also exchanged medical knowledge with Larissa.He knew that Larissa was capable."Why don't you do it, then? You're good at nothing except for comparing us with others. Why didn't you say anything when we needed a representative?" said Wyatt.The
No, it was her.But it was her younger self from 20 years ago.Back then, Emma had just turned 30 years old, and Mitchell Trading had just been publicly listed.She was energetic and high-spirited. She had no wrinkles, nor did her face age.Even the best makeup artist wouldn't be able to recreate that effect.Emma looked at herself in the mirror and gently touched her face.She suddenly noticed how Larissa used nothing but the beauty cream and lipstick.She didn't use any primer, foundation, or concealer. She didn't even draw her eyebrows.She hadn't put on any makeup for her!The lipstick was just to make her look livelier. But even without the lipstick, her face looked great!Emma was stunned."This isn't some TV show prank, is it? The mirror is an artificial intelligence-generated animation, isn't it? This is actually an AI technology exhibit, isn't it?""Ms. Mitchell, this is your face! I'm seeing you the same way. If you don't trust them, don't you trust me?" said Emma
"In simpler terms, this beauty cream can replace most cosmetic treatments. It will enhance the user's face."You all know Photoshop, right? The beauty cream can mimic the effects of Photoshop. Since its ingredients consisted of herbs only, there won't be any side effects either."The women in the audience were all wide-eyed; they were brimming with excitement.If the beauty cream has such magical effects, who would want to undergo surgery?All women chase after beauty. They'd do anything for a beautiful face, even going under the knife.But if there was an easier method, why not?The beauty cream could make your face look as if it were Photoshopped! It was unbelievable.Larissa saw how everyone looked so eager.She smiled and said, "Next, I will show you how long-lasting the beauty cream will be."Members of the Medical Association voluntarily became her assistant.Without delay, somebody fetched a basin of hot water under Larissa's instructions.Larissa then told Emma to cl
The scar on the lady's face had disappeared, and her skin had become smooth.She looked so different that she couldn't recognize herself."Is this me?" she asked with a trembling voice as she touched her left cheek.The person in the reflection mirrored her actions."It's me! My scar disappeared! This is even more effective than the best concealer!" she exclaimed in disbelief.Larissa explained to her."The beauty cream's nanoparticles will analyze your skin's condition. Then, it will fill in your muscle cells accordingly. This makes it look as if the scar was removed.""Last month, I consulted about a scar removal surgery. But it was too expensive and risky, so I was still unsure. But if this beauty cream can remove the scars, why do I even need to do surgery?"The lady said enthusiastically, "Please release this beauty cream as soon as you can! I will immediately buy it! I will buy ten—no, 20 of them!"Many people empathized with what she said. It was especially true for tho
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
