Larissa suddenly had an idea. She wondered if Finn was seeking a sugar mommy due to his demotivation.But she quickly dismissed the notion when she remembered Finn's status as a Starlight Group shareholder.There was no need for him to pursue a sugar mommy. The annual dividends alone were more than enough!Josie placed her handbag on the table. She positioned the Gucci logo outward intentionally.She declared with a sense of superiority, "I'm not really into dressing up, but Finn always gives me gifts."She touched the diamond necklace hanging around her neck and smiled confidently at Larissa. "This handbag and the diamond necklace? All gifts from Finn."Finn responded obediently, "Josie, I'm glad you like them."Larissa was taken aback by his actions.Finn wasn't the one seeking a sugar mommy; it was the other way around. He was lavishing money on this woman!Larissa wondered if there was something wrong with his head, or else he wouldn't be attracted to such a superficial pe
During her disagreement with Ambrose, Larissa criticized him as the most hated Scorpio around. She even claimed that their astrological signs were not compatible.So, Ambrose asked Joshua to buy ten astrology books for him. He studied the books thoroughly to gain mastery over the knowledge.Now, he applied this knowledge confidently to analyze astrological signs in the current situation.Larissa struggled to hold back her laughter.She put on a serious face immediately when she noticed Ambrose looking at her dotingly. She pretended as if nothing had happened.Josie's face turned red. She could not forgive Ambrose despite thinking he was so handsome.Finn was not aware that he had fallen under Josie's black magic. He believed naïvely that he was genuinely in love with her.Finn interjected awkwardly upon noting Josie's embarrassment, "I thought it was usually just young girls who liked exploring astrology. I didn't expect my brother-in-law would be into it too."Ambrose glanced
Upon hearing Joshua's words, Larissa was hit with a wave of worry.She said anxiously, "Since it's black magic, Finn is obviously not acting out of his own will! I must make him come back to his senses!"The crux of black magic was that it was a type of witchcraft.This was what caused Finn's health to significantly deteriorate in just a few days.If Finn continued to be with Josie, would he even survive?"Larissa, calm down and just hear me out." Joshua paused before saying, "I believe your medical skills can save your brother. But that is if he corporates, and no longer remains with that woman."Larissa sighed and said helplessly, "Finn is infatuated with that woman. He simply won't listen to me. I merely asked him a few questions earlier, but we ended up in an argument."The old Finn would have never behaved like that.Joshua fell silent. The situation was a little trickier than anticipated.In order to save Finn, they would have to first separate him from Josie.But consi
Larissa quickly pressed the play button while Ambrose wasn't paying attention.The next moment, a pornographic scene appeared on the TV screen.Caught off guard, Larissa and Ambrose let out a surprised gasp.Not only could they see, but they could hear the inappropriate sounds as well!How very stimulating!Finally coming back to her senses, Larissa fumbled for the remote control.However, she just couldn't seem to find the off button!Ambrose rushed toward the TV and swiftly pulled out the plug.The TV instantly switched off, and the inappropriate sounds finally came to a halt.Ambrose's expression darkened. The fact that Larissa saw someone else's body made him have the urge to smash the TV!Larissa gulped nervously. So this was what a paid program meant?The cover clearly looked like a singing program, so she thought it would be a reality show similar to "The Voice".But it turned out to be such an inappropriate show.The two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere in t
Josie thought she was such a charmer, continuously eyeing Ambrose flirtatiously as she spoke.Yet, Ambrose felt nothing but pure disgust and had to control himself from slapping her right across the face.He said coldly, "No thanks, I still have some matters to attend to."Josie nodded, feeling slightly disappointed.She then asked curiously, "What matters exactly?"Ambrose curtly replied, "Larissa had me go out to get something."Josie saw this as an opportunity. She said disapprovingly, "How could she have you run errands for her at this hour? I'm not trying to pick on Larissa, but she is simply being too unreasonable!" Unwilling to stay for even a second longer, Ambrose impatiently said, "I've got to go."With that, he left without turning back.Josie disappointedly gazed at his tall departing figure.Then, a victorious smile slowly appeared on her face.The more unreasonable Larissa was, the better.That way, she would have a better chance to get close to Ambrose.Jos
Larissa lifted her teary eyes and shot Ambrose a fierce glare.She was starting to suspect that Ambrose was only interested in her body!Ambrose gazed at her delicate face as a tinge of hurt riled up from within.She was the one who suggested he go out and get the condom.Because there were no shops nearby, he had to run through several streets until he finally secured it.He then ran all the way back because he was afraid of returning late.Yet, Larissa still ended up being mad.Ambrose suddenly remembered the books Joshua had given him, which stated that women must be respected.The look Larissa had while she threw a tantrum was just adorable!Instead of finding her unreasonable, he found it absolutely endearing.It seemed like the older the age, the more aroused one would get.Ambrose reached out to place a hand on her petite shoulder, but then he slowly retracted.If he used force, Larissa would surely accuse him of only having dirty thoughts.Not that it wasn't true a
Larissa didn't seem to notice that Max had been deliberately targeting her.She grinned, "If you find it hot, you can eat somewhere else. I can finish all these by myself anyway."Max was extremely displeased, but he didn't dare to retort due to Ambrose's presence.He scooped out some chicken soup and placed it right in front of Ambrose."Mr. Hamilton, please drink it while it's hot.""How about mine?" Larissa asked with a grin.Max was taken aback. "What about yours?""The chicken soup, of course!" Larissa said while she pointed at the bowl of soup. "Shouldn't there be a portion for me as well?"Max's eye twitched in anger. He had never seen such a shameless person before!"Here, have mine," Ambrose offered the bowl of soup to Larissa.Max begrudgingly scooped another bowl for Ambrose and then began to attentively grill some meat for him."Mr. Hamilton, the meat is ready."Ambrose responded absentmindedly.Once again, Larissa leaned in and asked, "How about mine?"Max wa
Larissa arched her brow at Josie challengingly. "Why don't you show us your phone to prove your innocence!"Josie gritted her teeth in anger.She had obviously run into Larissa last night, yet she still insisted on seeing her phone!She was picking on her on purpose!Putting on a hurt expression, Josie said, "I did in fact look for Mr. Hamilton yesterday, but that was because I was worried you two might have argued again. I just wanted to offer him advice."Who would have thought that my good intentions would be misunderstood like this!"Her explanation seemed rather reasonable.Finn let out a sigh of relief. "I told you it was a misunderstanding!"Larissa turned toward Ambrose with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.Josie had been pacing around the hotel hallways yesterday, which was conveniently right outside Ambrose's room.Could it be that Josie had actually come to seduce Ambrose last night?Ambrose said firmly, "Larissa, don't misunderstand. While Josie did prof
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
