Larissa's gaze became complex. "How long have you been like this?"Lyla was confused. "What?"Larissa said sympathetically, "If your mind isn't right, go and get it treated. If you drag on for too long, it will be too late.""Are you calling me crazy?""You should know whether you are crazy or not."Lyla couldn't get what she wanted so she came looking for trouble with the innocents. If she was making up all of this, then she must be crazy.Larissa wanted to ask Ambrose where he met this crazy woman.She couldn't believe that Ambrose's taste in women could be so bad. He would take an interest in a lunatic like Lyla?Larissa crossed her arms and said, "You wanted to see me, didn't you? I'm here now. What do you want? Just say it!"Lyla lifted her chin proudly and said, "I've taken a liking to Ambrose. I want you to leave him!"Larissa raised her eyebrows. "How do you know that Ambrose is not the one who can't live without me? He's the one who keeps clinging to me."Lyla's exp
Janice didn't know how she had left the cruise ship. Her face was pale, and her mind buzzed.Larissa was indeed her destined opponent, and she would not be so easily defeated!Janice closed her eyes tightly, trying to contain her growing fear.…Larissa received an unexpected call.The caller was Elon, Fiona's father.Fiona had once been Larissa's good friend.Six years ago, Larissa traveled the world to find Ambrose, and she had lost contact with her old friends. After returning, she had briefly reconnected with Fiona.At that time, Fiona had just gotten a boyfriend, so she was busy dating. Due to Larissa's busy life, they only occasionally called each other. Recently, they had yet to stay in touch much.Larissa was surprised to receive a call from Elon."Uncle Elon, what's wrong?"Elon sighed deeply on the other end of the line. "Larissa, I know I shouldn't bother you. But I hope you'll help Fiona out for the sake of your friendship.""Uncle Elon, don't worry. Tell me wha
After Elon finished sharing, he continued in a low voice, "Larissa, can you help Fiona? Considering she used to be your good friend."I know there's no one else who can save Fiona but you. I'm begging you. Can you help her?"Larissa took a deep breath and replied, "Uncle Elon, you don't have to beg me. I'll help Fiona!"Then, Larissa learned from Elon what kind of scumbag Asher was.Asher was a piece of trash who enjoyed messing around. He had no job, didn't work, and spent his days playing games and watching short videos.When he ran out of money, he would reach out to Fiona for money.Fiona not only had to feed him, house him, and buy him various things, but she also served as his punching bag. She would get beaten up at the drop of a hat.Elon became angrier as he spoke. He finished his cup of tea in one go, took a deep breath, and continued."At first, I didn't know that Asher would dare to lay hands on Fiona. One time, he punched Fiona in the head, and Fiona had a concussi
The "Fiona" in the mirror no longer wore a look of sorrow on her face. Her eyes no longer held any hatred or helplessness. All that weight was gone.At this moment, her dark eyes were bottomless, like a pool of ancient ice.If Elon were here, he would be able to distinguish the difference.Larissa said faintly, "Why kill him? This will only make Fiona blame herself and feel guilty. As the filter of memory deepens, it will only enhance the image of the perfect Asher."What I want is for him to become a dog, a dog that only listens to Fiona."Zayn couldn't help but shudder. This boss of his was so scary!Larissa looked at herself in the mirror, her dark eyes filled with malice."But ... won't that make Fiona continue to be involved with the jerk? It looks like she's just going to stay in his trap!" Zayn voiced his concerns.This didn't seem to solve the problem at all!"The best things are always out of reach. I want Fiona to have it and then get bored with it."I'm going to ma
The look Asher was giving Larissa was beyond words. It was as if he was looking at a psychopath.But soon, he had a smile on his face. He took the glass jar, opened up Beautycam on his phone, and took a picture of it.Then, he shared the photo in the gaslighting training chat group.It didn't take long for someone in the group to ask, "What is this?"Asher, worthy of a scumbag, replied proudly, "This is the third time a girl had an abortion because of me."The messages started flooding the group with messages such as "Awesome", "Boss, teach me!", and "Boss is the best".The jerks in the group began to discuss how many girls had abortions for them. They used girls' tears, pain, and suffering as something to brag about.After Asher was done bragging in the group, he was contentedly getting ready to play a game on his phone.Without lifting his head, he casually said, "Darling, I'm hungry. Let's order takeout! I want barbecue meat and crayfish!"As a scumbag, this was not out of
Asher opened his eyes to meet a deep gaze.He was so surprised that he tilted his head backward, bumping it hard against the bathtub.Asher snarled, enduring the pain. "Are you crazy? Why are you staring at me?"Anyone would've been scared out of their wits if they woke up to find someone staring at them!Larissa smirked. "I love you, so I have to look at you. What if you run away?"Asher shuddered. He felt that something was off.He wondered if he had gone too far to make Fiona go crazy.Asher had never expected a girl to lose her sanity after receiving too much emotional damage.He had always taken pride in playing with their feelings.Now, he finally realized how scary obsessive love can be.Asher was just reaping what he sowed!He swallowed hard, trying to calm down.He lifted his injured hand and said, "I got bitten by a dog. I need to get a rabies vaccine at the hospital or I'll die."Larissa consoled him gently, "It's okay. If you die, I'll die with you. We'll never
Asher felt that something wasn't right.He wasn't crazy; it was the person torturing him who was crazy!Yet, he had no opportunity to explain to the passersby. Every time he slowed down, Larissa would tug the leash hard.Asher was choking, so he had no choice but to follow Larissa closely.Before he realized it, Larissa had arrived at the Department of Psychiatry.When he saw Larissa taking out a mental health diagnosis, he was stunned.Had this mad woman finally acknowledged that she was crazy?At least she had some self-awareness!But soon, Asher's smile faded.Larissa showed him the mental health diagnosis and said creepily."Now, it's official."Asher realized she had just been officially diagnosed with mental illness.And mentally ill people were not legally liable! She would not be held accountable even if she killed him!Asher froze and his limbs became weak. He could barely stand.He was determined to escape! He refused to stay with this mad woman.Larissa kept t
Larissa had found Asher's new target and met her parents. Then, she told them about Asher's gaslighting behavior.They knew that their daughter had been meeting someone new, which had led to poor spending habits and a more depressed demeanor.But they hadn't expected things to be so serious.Larissa hired a psychologist to treat the girl.Unsurprisingly, she was diagnosed with depression and had suicidal intentions.The parents were in shock. They agreed to work with Larissa to help their daughter distance herself from Asher.Thus, it had led to this.Asher knew that "Fiona" had gone mad, but he hadn't expected her to be insane.All the flowery talks, traps, and tricks he had learned from the gaslighting workshop were nothing compared to actual power.Larissa smiled at him deviously, waving the phone in her hand."Answer me. Should I send it to the group? It's the group that you're always talking to. What was it called again?"She pretended to ponder over it, then exclaimed,
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
