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
How deep was Gerald's affection for her that made him speak in such a domineering manner?Nevertheless, nobody in the room dared to doubt Gerald's words. They knew that this mysterious man always followed through with what he said.Meanwhile, Dorothy was filled with unwillingness.Gerald's words were like a direct hit to her pride.Was her daughter whom she so carefully nurtured inferior to Larissa? A woman who had been abandoned by her own fiancé?Noticing the rage in Dorothy's eyes, Lucas fumed in anger. He scolded, "Have you not been embarrassed enough? Be gone and reflect on your actions!"Dorothy felt deeply wronged and resigned.She was the esteemed First Lady.Being bossed around like this in front of everyone, would she still be able to hold a standing in the future?However, she dared not go against Lucas' words, so she meekly abided.Just as she was about to turn around to leave, a dominating voice echoed through the room."Who said she could leave?" Gerald's voice
With a flap of its wing, the elegant swan swiftly took flight.Meanwhile, the toads were left hopping all over the floor. There were even a few that landed on Wayne's sports car.Wayne was livid!He was the first family's son! Which woman wouldn't be ecstatic to be invited to dine with him?For the Sawyer family to treat him in this manner, they clearly held no regard for the first family!If Larissa hadn't possessed the 5G chip, he wouldn't even spare her a glance! Especially not after she had been abandoned by her own fiancé!Wayne's face contorted with rage as he scanned the Sawyer family menacingly.He sneered, "Don't think because your family possesses the 5G chip, you can disregard the first family like this! We'll see who gets the last laugh!"Just as he finished speaking, a toad suddenly landed on his head, covering his forehead with its slime.Wayne was left fuming in anger!Quickly shaking the toad off, he scrambled into his car and sped away.Caspian and the rest
Upon hearing Larissa's name, there was finally a shift in Gerald's expression.He casually glanced at Charmaine and uttered, "What do you want?""Release me immediately!" Charmaine glared at the bodyguards and struggled out of their hold.Straightening out her dress and tidying up her disheveled hair, she said shyly, "Gerald, we met at the Sawyer family's banquet."You remember me, don't you?""I don't remember." Gerald was brutally honest.Charmaine felt her smile stiffen, but she quickly collected herself. She said mysteriously, "I'm here today because I have something very important to tell you!""Speak!" Gerald was stingy with his words.Charmaine looked around and said, "This isn't a place to talk. Let's go inside!""If you don't speak, you won't ever need to speak again."This was the most words Gerald had ever spoken to her. Yet, something about it was so chilling that it sent a tremble down her spine.She lightly bit her lip. "I'm going to share a huge secret with yo
Vincent sighed as he sat dejectedly on the floor.MAVIS anxiously circled him and asked, "Young Master. Why are you unhappy?"Vincent continued to sulk in the corner, seeming very pitiful.He said dejectedly, "I've done something wrong. I'm scared of going home because Mommy might get mad at me."Larissa had warned him to be careful and not let Gerald see him.But now, not only had he snuck out, he even went and taught Gerald a lesson.If Larissa found out, she would surely be furious.As expected from a highly advanced AI robot, MAVIS immediately looked up a hundred different solutions from its core program.He reported, "Young Master, you can either choose to act coy or not tell the Master about what happened."Vincent's eyes lit up but then dimmed again. He shook his head and said, "No, these methods won't work on Mommy."MAVIS scratched its round metallic head, taking a seat beside Vincent. It asked, "Then are we never going to return home?""Let me think about it," Vinc
Vincent quickly formulated a plan in his head.He decided that he would switch up the order of today's activities and blur out some of the main parts.That way, Larissa's attention wouldn't be on his mischievous acts."Mommy, I made a new friend today and we even performed stand-up comedy on stage!""You did what?" Larissa exclaimed.Larissa was in the midst of drinking some water but ended up spurting it out in surprise.She knew Vincent was a talented child but she never expected him to have a knack in the comedy realm.Larissa asked, "What else did you do today?"Fumbling around with his fingers, Vincent muttered, "I … I also went and taught Bad Daddy a lesson."Larissa was utterly shocked.Vincent quickly snuggled deeper into Larissa's arms, trying to breeze things over."Mommy, don't be mad. Bad Daddy is planning to marry a new wife, so I went to teach him a lesson!"Larissa asked worriedly, "Did he see you?""Nope! I'm so smart, there's no way he saw me!" Vincent sai
Seeing Larissa standing up to leave, Ambrose felt as if the most precious treasure was about to slip right through his fingers.He abruptly pulled Larissa back and pushed her against a tree."Aren't you hiding something from me as well?" Ambrose said through clenched teeth.Larissa's heart quickened. She quickly turned her head to the side and denied, "I don't know what you're talking about."Ambrose leaned in toward her, his lips pressing against her ear as he slowly said, "For example, are you hiding my son?"Larissa's eyes widened in shock, momentarily forgetting how to breathe.Observing her expression, Ambrose's lips curled into a victorious smile. "Seems like my guess was right. That little boy is my son.""No!" Larissa desperately tried to deny it. "He's my son. He's got nothing to do with you!""So you admit you have a son?" Ambrose narrowed his eyes.Larissa found herself at a loss for words.Fuck! This man was just so devious!"Why do you care if I have a son or no
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
