Max was stunned; his eyes glistened as he watched.Before he could rejoice, a second layer of glass appeared behind the cracked glass wall.Adrian's cynical laughter could be heard from the control room."You'd wish! The security is impeccable here. Even if you had wings, you can't escape. Just embrace your death!"After you die, I will extract your DNA from the flesh that would be minced up by the laser rays."I will clone you, and I will replace you with puppets!"Larissa, you're a Countess of Sisilia Island and the daughter of the Sawyer family, aren't you? They shall all become my pawns!"Larissa wondered if they would die here.The laser trap continued to approach them.Larissa and Max had backed up to the wall, and they were left with no escape!A surge of despair filled Larissa's heart. She felt all her courage and determination getting drained away by boundless sadness.If only she knew of her impending death, she would've held the wedding reception with Ambrose. She
Was that not madness? Was that not sick?Hearing Larissa's furious criticism, Galileo looked at her gently.He wished to imprint her image on himself; she could warm his cold, icy heart.Nadia noticed the look on Galileo's face and her heart ached.She felt so heartbroken. She had always known that Galileo had feelings for Larissa.She did so many things just to get Galileo's attention.But she finally came to a realization.No matter what she did or how much she sacrificed, Galileo would only have eyes for Larissa.He would never have feelings for her!A crazy, wicked thought came to Nadia's mind.She rushed toward the exit and left the lab."Do you love her that much? I will give you one chance, and only one person can leave this laboratory. Who would you pick?"Then, Nadia took out a controller.Larissa saw the crazed expression on Nadia's face. She had a bad feeling."What is it that you're holding?"Galileo icily glanced at the controller in Nadia's hands.He said,
Nadia's fingers trembled uncontrollably.If she pressed the button, it would set off the explosion. The person that she hated and despised would die.But …Nadia looked at the group.They were friends whom she had grown up with.Nadia wasn't sure if she could make such a cruel decision.Her grip on the controller tightened, but she couldn't press the button.Just then, an explosion happened at the door.Nadia's expression changed as if she just woke up from a nightmare. She quickly tossed the controller aside.When the explosion happened, Galileo immediately protected Larissa. Zayn and the others rushed to seek cover, too.Finn shouted, "MAVIS, activate shield!"A red light on MAVIS' head blinked. Its robotic arms extended out to form a giant shield, protecting everyone.Andrew rushed in with his men. He shouted anxiously, "Larissa!"Larissa poked her head out. "Uncle Andrew?"Andrew sighed in relief when he saw that Larissa was fine."I'm glad you're okay. We were scare
Six years had passed."Uncle Aaron's diamond isn't big enough.""Uncle Barry's yacht is too small.""Uncle Clarke's mansion isn't too shabby, though.""MAVIS, who do you think should be my daddy?"Somewhere in Sisilia Island, Vincent Solace pointed at the pile of photographs.He asked the robot beside him a series of questions.The screen on MAVIS' chest displayed a speechless emotion.Vincent rubbed his chin and said, "My daddy must be the most handsome and richest man. I think Uncle Scott is the best choice!""Vincent Solace!"Larissa's angry voice sounded behind him. Vincent got caught off guard.He jumped into Larissa's arms."Mommy! I want Daddy. Everyone else has their own daddy. Why don't I have one?"If it had been someone else, they would've fallen for how adorable Vincent was and consoled him.But not Larissa.Larissa crossed her arms. She could see through Vincent's plans."Is it? Are you looking for a daddy, or is that just your excuse to accept gifts?""We
Zayn kept looking around.He grumbled, "Is Mr. Gale really not seeing Boss off?""Look over there!" Rachel signaled Zayn by pouting her lips.Zayn looked over and was baffled at what he saw.Seeing how shy Galileo had been, it was no wonder that he couldn't win Larissa's heart!As the ferry sounded its horn, Larissa and Vincent waved everyone goodbye.On a hill by shore, Galileo stood tall with his hands behind his back.He gazed deeply at the ferry that gradually sailed off.The two figures eventually turned into two small dots, disappearing in the horizon.…Many things had changed in six years.A large LED screen was playing an interview clip of the candidates from Beautiful Doctor."Ms. Janice Solace, what makes a beautiful doctor?"Larissa looked up at the LED screen when she heard the familiar last name.On the screen, a woman in a white lab coat and delicate makeup was smiling beautifully."Saving lives, caring for the needy, and bringing love and warmth to the pa
Billy couldn't keep a stern face and started beaming."Your name is Vincent? You're right. I'm your great-grandfather!"Mandon and the rest stared at him longingly. They huddled around Vincent."Vincent, we're your granduncles. Did you miss us?"Vincent said cutely, "I know you! Mommy told me that I have four granduncles. I missed you all too!"The Sawyers couldn't handle how adorable he was.Billy looked at Larissa and said proudly, "Don't assume everything's fine just because you brought Vincent home. All these years, you never came home because of a man. I …"Vincent squirmed in Billy's embrace. He turned to cup Billy's face."Great-grandpa, don't scold Mommy! You can scold me!"Billy couldn't get angry at Vincent for how adorable he was.In the end, he simply said, "Forget it. As long as you're home!"The Sawyer family bustled with liveliness. They occasionally burst into laughter from Vincent's childish chatter.However, Larissa was slightly distracted, occasionally ca
Andrew said with concern, "Larissa, you must be careful. If the Solace family finds out that you've returned, they will find fault with you.""Don't worry, Uncle Andrew. Even if they don't come to me, I'll go to them," said Larissa coldly.…At the Presidential Office Building, a man tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically.He had deep-set features, and the crisp suit accentuated his fit body.A subordinate trembled as he stood before the man, breaking out in a cold sweat.After a while, Gerald asked, "Who spread it?"His gaze was cold and sharp.The subordinate swallowed nervously.He stuttered as he explained, "Mr. Ge … Mr. Gerald, it was Ms. Alicia …"With the flick of his hand, a pocketknife flew past the subordinate's scalp.The subordinate felt a pain in his scalp, and strands of hair got sliced off.He couldn't take it anymore and passed out."You, explain!" Gerald pointed at another subordinate.It was as if death had pointed its scythe at its next target.T
Charmaine glanced at all the comments that were cursing Larissa.She pretended to be upset."Don't curse my sister, you guys! She was switched at birth, which led to her twisted personality."After reuniting with her family, her adoptive parents wanted to kill her to hide her identity."But regardless, she's still my sister. I'm glad that she's home. We're still family!"The comments continued to praise Charmaine for her kindness, but they cursed Larissa for being wicked.Larissa looked at the comments that were all cursing her out.She smirked, "You're streaming live? Well, did you tell them that Ethan Solace was jailed for commercial crime, and you were jailed for fraud?"Did you tell them how your mother was a nanny? And how she tried to replace my mother by killing her and pocketing her inheritance for me?"Did you tell them about how your mother took my bone marrow as a baby, just to save you from leukemia?"Did you tell them about how you collaborated with Henry Huxley
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
