Mrs. Reeves' voice was particularly loud, quickly attracting many bystanders.One of the bystanders stared at Penelope for a while. Then, they took out their phone and exclaimed, "I've come across this old lady on TikTok before! She was stripteasing in the middle of the street!"Another bystander chimed in, "That's right! I caught her rubbing up against the wall earlier!""How repulsive! She's so old and ugly, yet she still dares to striptease! Do people actually fancy such a thing?The crowd cast her a disdainful glance.Penelope seethed in anger!She exclaimed, "Don't spout nonsense! I'm this kid's grandmother. I'm here to take him home!"As expected of Larissa's son. He was just as obnoxious and ill-mannered as she was!Mrs. Reeves didn't believe her one bit.She argued, "There are so many human traffickers nowadays. Simply claiming you're his grandmother and wanting to take him away, do you take us as fools?Penelope gaze darkened, she pointed at Vincent frustratingly, "T
MAVIS used to lack the ability to fly.It was only after Ambrose said, "What makes it impressive if it can't fly?" that Finn modified it into a flying robot. He had optimized MAVIS' frame to be smaller yet more powerful.MAVIS followed the car all the way until it stopped in front of the Solace's residence.When Vincent got out of the car, MAVIS quickly flew over. It folded its wings and nestled in his arms.Penelope noticed a new robot in Vincent's arms but didn't give it much thought. To her, it seemed like a normal toy.She left Vincent in a storage room and locked the door. "You'll stay here today. Do not run around. We've got a dog in the house."MAVIS flew out of Vincent's arms and circled the room.It reported, "Young Master, I've completed the inspection. There are no surveillance devices in the room."Vincent stretched lazily. "I am so sleepy. Let me take a nap first!"Being a robot, MAVIS struggled to grasp Vincent's thoughts.It asked, "Young Master, aren't you her
Vincent stepped on the rope with a mischievous look on his cute face."MAVIS, remove all his clothes. Hide him under the old witch's bed when she is unaware!"Penelope had sent a timid guy to frighten him, so he would retaliate by doing the same to her!Penelope waited for a long time, but Mario didn't return.She kept checking the time. She grew anxious as it approached the time Ethan was expected to come back.She couldn't endure the prolonged wait and decided to check it out herself.When Penelope entered the storage room, she felt suspicious upon seeing Vincent sitting alone on the floor. He was playing with a toy robot, while Mario was nowhere to be found.Damn, where the hell did Mario go?Penelope's suspicious gaze fixed on the apparently innocent Vincent.Things were becoming weird!Brushing off her concerns, Penelope instructed, "Little brat, call your mommy and ask her to bring money for your release."Penelope handed the phone to Vincent. Her greed was evident on
Penelope gasped, "Charmaine was caught again?"Ethan sighed, "And that's not even the worst part. Did you know? Gerald is actually Ambrose."Penelope's expression shifted suddenly at his revelation. Her body trembled slightly.Ethan noticed her reaction. "Are you okay?""I am fine." Penelope forced herself to stay composed. "Is Ambrose very influential?"Ethan replied seriously, "He's a popular person alongside the president. Do you doubt his power?"Also, I got a piece of important information. Following the First Lady's announcement of Alicia and Ambrose's marriage, Ambrose rushed into the Presidential Office Building."Just then, it was reported that the First Lady was experiencing mental instability. She requires adequate rest and will decline engagement in any public activities."All her previous statements were declared invalid."Penelope's body trembled even more intensely upon learning this information.She wondered, "Has Ambrose really acquired such significant influ
"Darling!" Mario rushed over to Penelope and held her hand as soon as he saw her."I was just about to catch that little brat when a ghost dragged me into the bathroom. I was terrified!"Mario was thoroughly frightened and experiencing mental confusion. He was completely naked. He even failed to notice Ethan standing next to Penelope.Ethan was furious. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.He questioned angrily, "Who is this?"Penelope's face turned pale. She shook off Mario's hand quickly and said, "I don't know him!"The crowd was in chaos.Calling Vincent a "little brat" might be an inappropriate way of educating him. Faking an intention to sell Vincent to human traffickers might be a way to frighten him.But could this naked man be fake?It was evident to everyone that this man had run out of the Solace residence!From accusations of human trafficking to child abuse, and now to cheating on her husband, this story was unfolding as significant news!"Penelope Hayes!"Ethan c
Gladys glanced at Lucas calmly."My child, you've been so focused on power and gain over the years. But you've forgotten the proper education of your children."Now, Dorothy has caused trouble. It should serve as a reminder for you."Despite his high position, Lucas remained a good son who held great respect for his mother.He responded to his mother's words awkwardly, "I plan to send Alicia abroad for a while. I'll let the discussion settle and then bring her back."As for Wayne, there's no need to worry. He has a good wife. Janice will support him well.""Janice?" Gladys sneered, "You will see later!"Lucas realized he had misspoken and closed his mouth awkwardly.How could he forget that Gladys never liked Janice?Gladys had refused to let Janice examine her even when she was seriously ill.When Lucas asked her about the reason, she mentioned coldly that taking Janice's medicine would expedite her demise.Gladys conveyed the severity of the situation, which left Lucas to
Janice helped Dorothy up. "Dorothy, why are you lying on the floor? Come, let me help you rest on the bed."Dorothy exerted all her strength, tightly gripping Janice's wrist.Just then, Wayne came over."What's going on?" Wayne rushed forward to support Dorothy's other hand.Janice helplessly explained, "Dorothy wants to go out, and she accidentally fell."Dorothy's eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at Janice. Gradually, her eyes became unfocused.Wayne said with emotion, "Janice, thank you for your efforts! My mother has suffered quite a blow this time, unable to withstand it physically."You have to take care of her tirelessly to the extent of neglecting yourself."Janice replied softly, "We are husband and wife. My mother-in-law is my mother too, so taking good care of her is the least I can do."Wayne was deeply moved. He helped Dorothy onto the bed. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep."What's wrong with my mom? Have you examined her?" Wayne asked with conc
Luca confidently declared, "My friend lives here. I'm sure of it."Vincent, with a skeptical glance, looked at him. "Fine, I'll trust you this time."Luca patted his chest and said with righteousness, "I'll go first, and you follow me."With that, Luca climbed down. Sticking out his butt, he grunted as he squeezed through the opening.Vincent sighed in exasperation. He gritted his teeth and followed suit, crawling into the pet door.The two little boys crawled through the pet door and entered the Presidential Office Building."Luca, where is your friend?"The Presidential Office Building was huge, and the two little kids had short legs. They walked for a long time under the hot sun.They had to be careful not to be discovered, too, making it quite an ordeal.Luca's small eyes were filled with confusion. He looked around for a long time.Then, he said in a daze, "My friend said his house is next to a tall tree. It should be around here somewhere."Vincent crossed his arms. "I
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
