Larissa retracted her foot."Let go! Don't touch me."Gerald didn't force her and released her.But he lightly touched her calf, blatantly flirting with her.Larissa was angered. She stomped her feet on feet on the ground with the teddy bear slippers on."What business do you have here? Spill it and get lost!"Gerald chuckled at her childish actions.Larissa glared at him and asked, "What are you laughing at? Haven't you seen teddy bear slippers before?"Blurry visions suddenly flashed before Gerald's eyes.He saw a pretty girl in pink slippers, hugging a soft pillow with a comic book on her lap.She got comfortable on a couch and exclaimed, "Mister, are you a genie? How did you know I like these things?"The images only appeared briefly, but they induced a sharp pain in his head.Larissa grumbled, "What do you want? If it's nothing important, please leave. I was about to sleep!"Then, she walked toward the door and was about to open it.Gerald suddenly felt an unexplaina
Larissa explained awkwardly, "He wasn't bullying me. You must be misunderstanding something."Vincent looked at her unconvincingly.Larissa felt embarrassed.She explained, "He didn't bully me! I'm good at combat, how could he bully me? You must've been imagining things."Vincent pointed at her lips and refuted, "Don't lie to me, Mommy! Your lips are swollen from the fight!"Larissa subconsciously turned to the mirror on the dresser.The woman in the reflection was blushing. Her eyes were watery, and her lips were red—swollen, too!Larissa felt baffled. She was so embarrassed that she wished to run and hide.Just as she wondered how to convince Vincent, he began speaking angrily, "Mommy, I saw everything! Bad Daddy is so mean!"He pushed you on the wall and beat you, and then he carried you to beat you again!"He even nibbled your ear! I've never seen such a meanie like him!" Vincent said begrudgingly, and his adorable face turned red from anger.He whipped out the magic wan
"It's itchy!"A thunderous roar sounded in the Solace residence. It surprised even the crows outside.Penelope's body was extremely itchy. She couldn't stop scratching. It was as if she wanted to remove a layer of skin.Ethan was busy consulting with attorneys about the lawsuit with Athena's inheritance.Meanwhile, Charmaine was having a bath and doing skin care, paying no mind to Penelope.Penelope continued suffering from the itch. Nobody would help her despite her screams.In the end, she had to go to the hospital herself.Just as she had gotten onto the streets, the itch became increasingly unbearable. Even the friction of her clothes against her skin made it itch.She continued scratching as she stripped, putting up a strip show in public!Passerbys filmed it and posted it on Instagram. After a short time, it went viral.When Larissa got up in the morning, she saw Caspian, Rio, and Dylan laughing at their phones."What are you watching?" Larissa asked curiously.Dylan
Gladys waved her hand immediately after hearing that.She was in her golden years. How could she withstand a throat surgery? She would rather die than go under the knife!But Larissa offered to take her pulse with so much determination.Gladys thought that this young lady was very dignified and calm. She seemed capable, so why not let her offer a diagnosis?Humans were bonded by unexplainable strings of fate.If not for Gladys' sudden decision to allow Larissa to take her pulse, the story might have unfolded differently.Lucas frowned in disagreement, but he couldn't disobey Gladys.He thought it'd be fine if Larissa just took her pulse. She wasn't going to prescribe any medication anyway.Lucas doubted that a young lady like her could cure a complicated disease. One that was challenging for specialists, too.Gladys leaned against the bed with her eyes half closed. She had a hiccup once every couple of seconds, and she looked like she was in pain.Larissa lightly placed her f
Lucas was shocked to see how Larissa had cured Gladys with acupuncture.An hour after Larissa had passed the 5G chip technology to Billy, Lucas received a copy of Larissa's profile.The documents recorded countless remarks about Larissa's character, which had taken a turn for the worse three months ago.Rumor had it that Larissa had a difficult personality and ruthless character.It was said that she sent her parents and sister to prison, ruining the Solace family just to return to the Sawyer family.Lucas was not a fool and it didn't take long before he noticed something was off.Three months ago, he was sworn in as the president.Somebody was defaming Larissa under the pretense of his orders.Gladys soon became drowsy. The hiccups had kept her from sleeping well over the last two weeks.Larissa took notice and got up to leave.Lucas thanked her again but noticed Larissa was looking at him meaningfully.He asked, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Alicia screamed in disbelief, "Gerald, she hit me! And you're trying to cover for her?"Alicia felt so upset and wondered who that woman was.How dare she assault the president's daughter? Also, Gerald even stopped the bodyguards from keeping her from leaving!Gerald scoffed. "She's with me. Who else would I cover for if not her?"Alicia was so upset that she cried.She screamed, "No way! I'm the president's daughter, and I'm the best match for you. How can you fall for other women?""She's a hundred times better than you! I have nothing to do with you, so don't appear in front of me again."Otherwise, I'll make you have sex with a pig. That way, you'd stop going on heat. Your stench is affecting her!" Gerald said in disgust.He removed the coat—which Alicia had touched—and tossed it to the bodyguard.He said icily, "Burn it!"Then, he left without hesitation.Alicia wanted to follow him, but she recalled his threats.She stopped in her tracks.Alicia wondered, "How can I
Wayne was young, capable, and a gentleman.On top of that, his identity as the president's son made him a dream guy.It would've been a piece of cake for someone like Wayne to win the heart of a woman who got abandoned by her fiancé!Dorothy contained her excitement and held Janice's hand."Janice, thank you for being so considerate of our family. You are the best daughter-in-law we could ever have!"She paused, then asked cautiously, "But are you really okay with giving your husband up to another woman? Aren't you sad?"Janice said gently, "I'm doing everything for Wayne and the Brown family's sake."If this would win Larissa over, making her serve the Brown family willingly, it would be okay for me to make a sacrifice."Janice lowered her head to hide the wicked look on her face.Ever since Wayne had seen Larissa at the party, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He had secretly inquired about Larissa.Larissa was a member of royalty from Sisilia Island, as well as the chai
Alicia slowly unveiled the gauze curtains, revealing her body that was draped in only a thin sheer robe.The robe was practically see-through and it made her all the more alluring."Gerald …" Alicia blushed as she shyly called out his name.However, the man's face remained completely emotionless.Alicia decided to take off her sheer robe entirely, boldly showing off her perfect figure.Mustering up her courage, she confessed, "Gerald, I like you. I think about you all day and night."Please don't treat me as the President's daughter. Ravish me to your heart's content!"This was Dorothy's grand plan.Gerald held immense power and was heavily protected by many bodyguards. Trying to drug him and seduce him to bed would undoubtedly be futile.The most promising way would be to first publicly announce their engagement and then boldly pursue him.Gerald was a vigorous man with no partner by his side.If Alicia was willing to let go of her pride and noble status and used the humble
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
