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
Larissa continuously scolded, "You cheater! How could you give her your phone number!"This sudden accusation was one Ambrose was most definitely not going to bear!He quickly broke free, pulling her into his arms once more and pressing her head against his chest.He solemnly assured her, "I didn't cheat. It was just a setup for Josie."I've already blocked her number so her messages can't get through. You're the only one I love and want in this lifetime."Ambrose's dark eyes brimmed with affection as he tenderly reassured the woman in his arms.Faced with Ambrose's sudden affection, Larissa found herself unable to get mad at him.Larissa hooked her arms around his neck and said in frustration, "I don't blame Finn. I know he's under the influence of black magic, and has no control over his actions."Besides, I've already thought of a way to lift the spell from him."Ambrose's eyes flashed with confusion.Black magic wasn't something that could be easily lifted!Unless you we
Josie wanted to dodge but found herself unable to break free no matter how hard she tried.So, she could only watch as Larissa gave her another ten slaps.By the time Larissa was done, Josie was left in a blurry state.The moment she returned to her senses, she immediately tried to claw at Larissa's face.She aggressively yelled like a mad woman, "You little bitch, how dare you slap me! I'm going to rip you into shreds, just you wait!"Ambrose simply kicked her aside, causing her to hit the wall before sliding to the ground.Josie had never been so afraid of death as she did at that moment.While she still held immense hatred in her eyes, she simply remained quiet. She didn't dare to continue her outburst.Larissa looked down upon her and said in a chilling tone, "I've warned you before that I'm well aware of all the things you've done to Finn!"How dare you try to seduce my man? Have you lost your mind?"You dare to hurt Finn, there's no way I'll go easy on you."The large
Finn exited the bathroom, looking much better in spirits.While his face remained pale, the previous desolation was gone and was now replaced with a newfound glint in his eyes."Rissa, Ambrose. I'm terribly sorry!"Without casting a single glance at Josie, Finn walked straight toward Larissa and Ambrose. He lowered his head in apology."What do you plan to do with that woman?" Larissa tilted her chin, gesturing toward Josie.Finn fell silent for a moment, then said, "It's fine, just let her go."Everything had come back to him now.He remembered walking on the road that day when Josie suddenly came up to him asking for directions.She lightly patted him on his shoulder, and everything after that seemed to be a blur.Now that the black magic was lifted, Finn no longer held any feelings for Josie.It was as if it was all a dream.He didn't want to cause her any harm or even cast her a single glance.He had no love for her and thus couldn't even be bothered to hate on her.La
In Ace's eyes, Larissa was nothing but a useless bimbo. He absolutely despised women like her.Yet, she dared speak to him in such a manner!Larissa said innocently, "What's the matter? Have I said something wrong?"I think you should just stop with training and go brush up on your cultural knowledge instead!"After all, given that you're vocabulary is so limited, what will happen the next time you face words you don't know?"How pitiful!"As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed. It was as if she was genuinely worried about Ace's cultural literacy.A displeased look was plastered on Ace's face as he dangerously glared at Larissa. It looked as if he was about to fight her at any moment.The bodyguards who were watching couldn't help but feel nervous.Ace had always been hot-tempered and arrogant. He would beat someone up at the slightest provocation.However, she was Ambrose's fiancé! Had Ace lost his mind?Meanwhile, Larissa remained completely calm.She wasn't familiar
Ambrose stated calmly, "He is looking at you."As a man in love, Ambrose could see through the meaning in Ace's gaze at a glance. So, he was angry. Ace dared to covet Larissa!Larissa approached him and put her arms around Ambrose's. "There are only the two of us here. Shouldn't it be normal for him to look at me when he came in?"Ambrose narrowed his eyes and his voice was filled with anger. "Are you defending him?"Larissa was speechless. She pinched Ambrose's waist in annoyance, and his expression improved a little."Are you okay? Should I get the doctor to check on you?" Larissa looked at Ace.Ace still had his head lowered and didn't move, not answering Larissa.In front of Ambrose, Ace was submissive beyond a shadow of a doubt.Larissa gently tugged at Ambrose's sleeve.Ambrose's expression eased a bit as he said coldly, "Get out!""Yes!" Ace responded, backing out. During the entire time, he didn't dare to look up at Larissa again.The room was left with only the two
If Mr. Hamilton's legs weren't crippled, I would have been with him for the past few years," Angelina grumbled with resentment. "How else could another woman get the chance to be his fiancée?"Anderson chuckled. "You're right. My sister is so beautiful that no man can resist her."When Ambrose arrived, Angelina's eyes lit up the moment she saw him.She called out in excitement, "Mr. Hamilton!"Angelina was a vision of beauty, with an exotic grace that was all her own."Mr. Hamilton, I've missed you so much!" Angelina said shyly.Larissa frowned. Was Angelina trying to poach Ambrose in front of her?Larissa's face fell when she heard Angelina's overly affectionate voice addressing Ambrose.Angelina was also sizing up Larissa.The girl's face was perfect. Her features weren't as prominent as Angelina's, but she still had a certain beauty. She was tall and slender, like a beautiful girl stepping out of an oil painting.Standing next to Ambrose, the two made a perfect pair.A st
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
