At that point, Caspian, Dylan, and Rio fell into silence.It was true that they were no match for Ambrose.Damn, why?Caspian clenched his fists ambitiously. "Get it together everyone! Don't cheer the enemy on at our own expense!"The day that Larissa returns to the Sawyer family, I will be sure to cook up a feast that Larissa will never forget!"Caspian's eyes shone. "I'll close the door so that that playboy Ambrose can't come in!"Dylan added, "We'll put a sign on the door that says "Ambrose and Dogs Not Allowed"!"Caspian looked approving. "Good idea!"As they spoke, the three of them began imagining the perfect scene.Ambrose would be holding the sign that said "Ambrose and Dogs Not Allowed" and walking around anxiously outside the front door of the Sawyer residence.He would clutch the gate pitifully with tears streaming down his cheeks as he begged."Caspian, Dylan, Rio, please let me in. I'm a playboy!"The three of them laughed heartily.One of these days, they wou
Larissa raised her eyebrows. She and Andrew thought the exact same way.Andrew really was the most cunning one amongst the Sawyer brothers. When he did something sneaky, his plans were flawless!But she liked it!"Larissa, you'll come home tomorrow, won't you?"This time the voice that traveled over from the other end of the phone was that of Billy, who sounded rather old.At the sound of Billy's voice, Larissa hesitated.Once she promised, it would mean that she had accepted the Sawyer family.As she listened to Billy's somewhat nervous voice, she could imagine his hopeful, pitiful expression.After all, they were a family of the same blood. They were all waiting for her so enthusiastically.Larissa wrestled with herself for a moment and decided to believe in family once more. Finally, she promised, "Okay."On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of delighted cheers, almost deafening Larissa!She held the phone away from her ear, but she was smiling.Billy was b
When he heard this question, a mysterious smile appeared on Andrew's handsome face."Thank you to all the media for your concern. The Sawyers have indeed found our long-lost family member."If you are interested, you can come to the Shangri-La Hotel tomorrow to attend the press conference of the Sawyer family.""We will definitely be there!"This was an exciting upper-class family secret, and they were even holding a press conference! Anyone who didn't go must be an idiot!Another reporter asked, "Have the Sawyer family done a DNA test yet?"Andrew smiled slightly. "Of course."Upon receiving this answer, the paparazzi, who often acted on hearsay, began buzzing with excitement.If a DNA test had been done, then the reporters were even more certain about Charmaine's identity.They'd already planned how to write the headlines."Long-lost Upper-Class Heiress Reunites With Family At Last!"A few reporters went over to the Huxleys to confirm this.Conrad was flushed with pleasur
The wedding planner utilized all their staff and spent all night decorating the venue. The result was a dreamy, luxurious banquet.The guests entered with their gold-embossed invitations. They signed the guestbook, gave monetary gifts, and each received a wedding favor.They were then led to the banquet hall by ushers.Conrad stood at the entrance to the banquet hall. He was flushed with happiness as he shook hands and made small talk with the guests.Henry stood beside him. Every guest praised him, saying, "Mr. Huxley is young and accomplished and such a gentleman. The bride and groom are a match made in heaven!"Chloe and Amy were in charge of taking care of the female guests. They were conversing gaily with many of the ladies from the upper-class families.Many people were trying to find out if Charmaine really was the long-lost heiress of the Sawyer family.If it was true, then why wasn't a single member of the Sawyer family present at the wedding?Hadn't they said that the
Then what would they do about the acknowledgment of the Sawyer family?If Charmaine was not acknowledged by the Sawyer family, why would the Huxleys allow a bad-luck magnet like her to marry into their family?Wouldn't the Huxleys become the joke of the entire upper-class circle?Upon these thoughts, Chloe couldn't resist urging, "Call and ask when the Sawyers will arrive!"Henry had no choice but to take out his phone. "I'll call and ask, then!"As Chloe and the others watched with anticipation, Henry dialed Andrew's number. The call connected quickly."Mr. Andrew, it's Henry. How long will it be until you arrive?"On the other end of the phone was Andrew's husky voice. "It's a little jammed on the road, but we're almost there. Has the wedding ceremony begun?"Henry immediately smiled and apologized continuously, "No no, we're still waiting for you, Mr. Andrew! You're Charmaine's family. How could we begin the wedding without all of you?""Don't worry, this is such an importa
Nobody saw that there was a slender figure in the car who did not get out.Conrad's eyes lit up and he rushed forward, greeting them from afar. "Mr. Hamilton Senior, Mr. Hamilton, and the president as well!"It really is the greatest honor of the Huxleys to have all three of you attend my son's wedding! A great honor! A huge honor!"Charles looked Conrad up and down and looked startled. "Who are you?"Conrad's eye twitched and he looked awkward. "I'm Henry's father. Mr. Hamilton Senior, aren't you here today to attend my son's wedding?""Look at this memory of mine! So it's your son's wedding today!" Charles looked as if it had just dawned on him.Ambrose's mouth twitched soundlessly. With his acting skills, it was a pity that Charles hadn't become an actor!Conrad's expression changed, but he managed to get it under control just in time. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Hamilton Senior, you aren't joking, are you? I sent you an invitation!""Oh? Did you? Wait a moment!"Charles hammed
The sound of camera shutters going on and off filled the air.The flashes from the reporters' cameras went off incessantly. Several of the independent media were holding up their phones to broadcast the event live.The reporters couldn't wait to ask questions."Mr. Sawyer Senior, are you here to attend the Huxleys' wedding today?""Congressman, is it true that the bride of the Huxleys, Charmaine Solace, is the long-lost daughter of Ms. Athena?""Mr. Jeffrey, what do you have to say about the rumors about Charmaine being detained for the suspicion of hiring a hitman from the dark web?""Mr. Benson, why have the Sawyers chosen to hold the press conference in the VIP building whilst the wedding is taking place in the banquet hall?"The reporters pulled out all the stops as they asked the prominent members of the Sawyer family all these questions.The prominent members of the Sawyer family were all the elite of society.The oldest son, Mandon, was a renowned judge who was now a co
"Maybe Charmaine, the so-called Sawyer heiress, is a fake?""If not, then why aren't any of the Sawyer family members here for her wedding?"At some point in time, some of the guests began receiving news on their phones.A few guests wore shocked expressions after they read the news."The VIP building? Let's go and see!"The guests who had received the news first began edging quietly toward the VIP building.The VIP building was privately owned and was usually not open to the public. It had strict security.Today, security not only did not stop them, but they even smiled at the guests as they invited them in.The guests who had received the news first successfully passed security. They saw that there were already electric vehicles waiting.The driver invited them. "Please get in the vehicle."A few of the guests got in. When they arrived at the VIP building and saw the scene inside, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.They immediately took out their phone
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
