"Sorry …"

Larissa began to apologize but was suddenly met by a pair of familiar deep black eyes. Frozen in place, Larissa couldn't tear her gaze away. Was it Ambrose?

Despite Gerald's initial fury, he was taken aback the moment their eyes met. The girl before him was striking, and a sudden flutter stirred in his heart.

With hands casually tucked in his pockets, he effortlessly radiated a powerful presence. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through Larissa. At the same time, they both spoke.

She began, "Mis—" He asked, "Who are you?"

Larissa's eyes narrowed as Gerald looked her over and slyly remarked, "I'm indeed your Mister Right."

Her expression changed as she observed him.

She hesitantly asked, "Mister?"

Gerald's expression hinted at her unique taste.

"Oh, you like this? I can play along."

Larissa was bewildered. Despite the familiarity, Gerald was nothing like Ambrose. Six years had passed, and she had countless questions for him, but she couldn't utter a word.

    Gerald stood there, his demeanor icy. He wondered, "Who is that woman just now? Why do I feel a sense of loss when she left?"He ordered, "Find out about that woman! I want all her information in ten minutes!" His subordinate nodded. "Yes, Gerald!"…At the Presidential Office Building, Alicia led several assistants noting her requests. "The curtains are too dark. Change them to lighter ones for better sleep."One of the assistants replied, "Yes, Ms. Alicia!"She continued, "The furniture should be all white with gold trim."Another assistant affirmed and made a note. She added as she pointed to a spot on the wall. "Put my big picture here. Did you write all of it?"The assistant replied, assuring her, "Yes, Ms. Alicia, everything's written."Her assistants hesitated. After a while, someone finally gathered the courage to speak."Ms. Alicia, Gerald is not here right now. It's better not to change Gerald's decorations without asking. Otherwise, he might get upset."A

    "I just can't believe Gerald would treat me like this," Alicia sobbed in Janice's private clinic office."Don't cry, Alicia. Gerald is just being too much." Janice handed her a tissue.Janice paused and then asked, "Who is Gerald exactly? Why doesn't he care about your father?"Alicia took the tissue and wiped her tears."I don't know much. Dad forbids me from asking about Gerald. All I know is that he's Dad's special assistant, and he played a crucial role in Dad's success."Janice stayed silent for a moment and then asked, "Do you really like Gerald that much? Is he the only one you want to marry?"Alicia grabbed Janice's hand anxiously."Janice, I like him! It was love at first sight! Please help me figure out a way to marry Gerald!"Janice thought for a bit."Alicia, winning him over isn't that easy, especially with you being the president's daughter. Gerald is just an assistant. Why would he be interested in you? Perhaps he's using you to climb the political ladder."A

    Vincent met Liam's accusative gaze. He coughed."That's too much. Who did it? Tell me! I'll take revenge on your behalf!"Liam lowered his head miserably. "Forget it. You're so petite. You won't be able to defeat him." Vincent put his plump hands on his wide hips. "No need to be afraid. We have MAVIS. MAVIS is great at fighting. I'll send MAVIS to fight them for you!"MAVIS started to wave its jazz hands. "Got a question? Got lots? If something's got ya baffled …"Vincent and Liam were speechless. Vincent swung his chubby hand over. "MAVIS, begin revenge mode!""Yes, Young Master!" MAVIS did a backflip and landed with one hand on the ground. "Revenge mode, activated. Please specify your target of revenge!"Liam looked at MAVIS with a hopeful glimmer in his eyes. "We are brothers. Whoever bullies you is also bullying me!" Vincent said pridefully as he gave MAVIS a well-pleased pat. Liam shook his head. "But, I am your second uncle …"Vincent waved his chubby l

    Gerald had a low profile. He had never attended any public parties. The media had also never captured any profile photo of him. All everyone knew was that he was the President's special assistant. Other than that, only a rare few knew what he looked like. Ethan, Penelope, and Charmaine were wide-eyed in disbelief. This man was Gerald? Why did he look so similar to Ambrose, who had been missing for six years? He was probably Ambrose himself, wasn't he?Wayne felt waves of anxiety in his heart. His bewildered gaze continued darting between Mandon and Gerald. When in the world did the Sawyers become acquainted with Gerald? If they were to join hands, wouldn't the Sawyer family get back up real soon? When members of the Sawyer family spotted Gerald, their jaws dropped. Each one of them stared at him, mouth agape. They were at a loss for words. Mandon was first to snap back to his senses. He walked up to Gerald with huge strides. "Gerald, it's you! Thank you for gracing us with

    The crowd gasped. Earlier, Gerald had mentioned that he was here to arrest a wanted criminal. Was Larissa the said fearless criminal? The Sawyers were alarmed. They weren't sure how Larissa had provoked this powerful man. Jeffrey gave his golden-framed glasses a slight push. He then took a step forward with a straight face to shield Larissa. However, Gerald was a step ahead of him. Gerald reached out with his large hand. He put his hand around Larissa's waist and pulled her into his arms. He clenched his teeth as he spoke with his charming face. What he said next made everyone's jaw drop. "Woman, how dare you force a kiss on me in public? How many years shall I send you to prison for?" Everyone was dumbfounded! What did they just hear? What happened to her being the wanted criminal? After all that, she was a femme fatale? A look of disappointment flashed across Larissa's eyes. She had thought that he had regained his memory. Simply by hearing his arrogant tone, she was su

    Ethan's face turned pale. He had forgotten that he was in pain. He had already spent all that money. When the Solace family went bankrupt, they had put all their assets up as collateral with the bank. How could he spit the money back out? Wayne stood out with a confident posture. The expression on his face was as if he was about to make decisions as their elder. "To be fair, it was wrong of you to beat up your father, Larissa. You are his daughter. You even dared to ask your father for money. That's too much, isn't it? According to the law, when one passes on, their partner has the immediate right of inheritance. This means that your mother's inheritance belongs to your father. You have no right to claim that money from him!" Larissa had good looks. She was probably the most beautiful woman Wayne had ever seen. Even so, she was too overbearing. He hated strong-headed women like her. Larissa made a cold glance at Wayne, who was being pretentious. "If you wish to talk about l

    Gerald, who usually looked stoic, showed a slight change in his facial expression. Though, he wasn't the only one. The eyes of the people in the crowd lit up. Wayne's breathing was rapid.

Not only that, the research into 6G has begun to show some promise. In the future, we will continue to work together with the Sawyers." Billy's hand shook and he knocked over his teacup accidentally. Everyone was aware that a digital world was the world of the future. Those who were able to get their hands on the latest communication technologies would be standing at the top of the world's business industries. And Larissa was acing to hand such a precious technology over to the Sawyers? This was technology that was enough to incite a few world wars! What did this mean? This meant that the Sawyers was about to leap into becom

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

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.

    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 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!"

    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.

    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

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.

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!"

    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.
