Chapter 5 Ambrose's Wedding Gift

Author: Dainty
"Mr. Clark!" Lukas' eyes brightened as if he had grasped a lifeline.

He rushed to the assistant and fell to his knees. "Mr. Clark, please don't terminate the cooperation. We've been cooperating well all these years, haven't we?"

"Not just Hamilton Group, but all its subsidiary companies will no longer have cooperation with the Millers. You can leave now," Owen replied without having any expression on his face.

"But why? You'll have to let me know the reason, at least!"

Owen sneered. "Because you smell of garbage!"

Lukas was stunned. That line of words sounded inexplicably familiar to him.

All of a sudden, several security guards rushed over, unceremoniously emptied multiple large bins of garbage onto Lukas.

There were breakfast leftovers and used tissues which were stained with snot. Even a sanitary pad stained with blood was stuck onto his hair.

Lukas couldn't take the foul odor and retched.

Covering his nose with a handkerchief, Owen said disdainfully, "Take him away! He stinks!"

Lukas was thrown onto the street. Everyone around covered their mouths and distanced themselves from him.

Charmaine followed behind and rushed out. Her heart was still racing with fear as she covered her nose and asked hesitantly, "Lukas, are you alright?"

"Do I look like I'm okay?" Lukas slapped her, taking out his anger on her.

Charmaine was stunned. She didn't expect that Lucas would slap her.

"Who do you think you are to smack me, fool? The Miller family is going to face bankruptcy. Without money, you're nothing!" Charmaine cursed.

Then, she hailed a taxi and left the scene. To her, Lukas was nothing more than one of her admirers.

All of a sudden, Charmaine thought of Larissa. When they were at the entrance earlier, Lukas had scolded Larissa, saying that she reeked of garbage. Later, garbage was thrown over him.

Charmaine wondered if Larissa's sugar daddy was one of the higher-ups at Hamilton Group.

"No, this is impossible. Larissa is only there as a cleaner!" she immediately reassured herself.

Meanwhile, Larissa was dumbfounded. "Mister, did you avenge me?"

"Are you happy now?" Ambrose asked faintly.

"Yes!" Larissa looked ecstatic. "Lukas isn't a good man. His family business is probably not decent as well. Don't work with him, Mister. He isn't even worth polishing your shoes!"

Seeing the smile on her face, Ambrose couldn't help but smile too.

Even if he had to live in seclusion in Ambrollum City, he was still a descendant of the Hamilton family. How could he possibly let anyone bully his wife?

"Here, look at this." Ambrose handed her a folder.

Larissa opened it curiously. When she scanned through it and realized what it was about, she was surprised. "A cooperation agreement with the Solace family?"

"This is my wedding gift to you," he replied.

"Are you going to give this contract to them?"

"Yes. Based on my understanding of the Solace family, although you're the biological daughter of the family, you've been cast aside by an imposter. I'll give this contract to your family and let your parents change their opinion toward you."

Larissa kept her head lowered for a long time.

"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

Ambrose had never pursued a woman before. Be it dating someone or getting married, he was a greenhorn. He wondered if he had made a mistake by preparing the contract.

Although Ambrose looked calm, he was secretly nervous.

"I'm so touched, Mister!" Larissa wiped away the tears from her face. "You're the only one who treats me well in the entire world!"

Letting out a sigh of relief, Ambrose tightened his grip on her hand as he gazed at her intently. "You're my wife. It's natural for me to be nice to you."

Larissa blushed in response.

Larissa stayed with Ambrose in the company until he finished his work. Then, they had a meal together before she returned to the Solace residence.

The atmosphere in the house was extremely heavy.

After Charmaine returned home, she told her parents about Lukas being driven out of Hamilton Group.

At first, Penelope and Ethan didn't believe it. It wasn't until they received the news ten minutes ago that they realized it was true.

Hamilton Group had officially announced that they had terminated their cooperation with the Miller family, including their ongoing projects with them.

"How is this possible? Hamilton Group will have to pay the penalty for breaching the contract," Penelope mumbled with disbelief.

Ethan scoffed. "That penalty is nothing to them. I heard that the CEO of this branch company is new. It looks like something big is happening soon. We need to seize this chance to associate with that person!"

The news was playing in the background.

A charming female news anchor reported, "Lately, Hamilton Group has announced that they will invest one billion dollars in Ambrollum City, focusing on redeveloping old urban areas. The project will be opened for public bidding ..."

Ethan immediately took the remote control and increased the volume of the television. He trembled in excitement.

"This is great! The chance we've been waiting for is finally here!" Ethan laughed.

Penelope was confused. "Is the Hamilton family very powerful?"

"You really are ignorant! That is a big project! Even if we only managed to secure a modest involvement, it's still going to be beneficial to us!" Ethan replied.

"But we don't have any business dealings with Hamilton Group at all. That's why we thought of asking the Millers to connect us with them, but now they are on the verge of bankruptcy."

Hearing that, Ethan froze. "We'll have to think of a way!"

At the same time, many families in Ambrollum City had seen the news. Everyone was itching to get a piece of the pie. The Hamilton family was the most powerful family in Jaedornia. Even its branch company could invest as much as one billion dollars in a project.

That showed how tempting their latest project was.

Right then, Larissa came back.

Charmaine's eyes glinted. With a smile, she asked, "Dad, Mom, did you know that Larissa is working for Hamilton Group?"

"What?" Penelope and Ethan were shocked.

"Larissa, is that true? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Penelope's voice was filled with surprise.

After sparing a flat glance at Charmaine, Larissa turned to look at Penelope. "I'm just working as a cleaner there."

Well, since Charmaine said that Larissa was a cleaner, she would just pretend to be one.

As expected, when Penelope heard that Larissa was just a cleaner, her face fell in an instant.

"You're such a disgrace! So much for studying! You ended up just being a cleaner! Why are you so unambitious?"

    Intending to add fuel to the fire, Charmaine said, "Although Larissa is a cleaner, she's working for Hamilton Group! Dad, Mom, don't you need to establish a connection with Hamilton Group? "When Larissa goes to work, she'll see the higher-ups from different departments. Then, she can convey our family's wish to collaborate with them. It's better than nothing!"Larissa looked at Charmaine with a faint smile. Charmaine's idea was foolish.The reason Charmaine suggested this was to embarrass Larissa.Larissa's actions would infuriate the higher-ups of Hamilton Group. She would lose her job and be thrown out of the building by the security guards!Charmaine had been embarrassed by being kicked out by the security guards. Thus, she wanted Larissa to suffer too!Ethan frowned and said, "Well, I guess this plan might work. After all, it's our last resort. You should give it a try tomorrow, Larissa!"

If you don't like them—""I love them!" Larissa ran toward Ambrose and hugged him. She exclaimed, "Mister, are you a genie? How come you can conjure up anything that I like?"As Larissa's body pressed against his, Ambrose stiffened up and recalled the passionate scene from that night.Larissa was quick enough to let go. Otherwise, she would've noticed the changes in his body.Ambrose raised his hand and covered the crotch area of his pants. "I'd do anything for you."Larissa kicked off her shoes. She wore the bun

    Ethan's eyes were oozing affection. "Oh, what wonderful news. Both of you are my dearest daughters."Charmaine looked at Larissa defiantly. Larissa might have gotten their father the deal, but Charmaine had contributed to the success too. There was no way Charmaine would let Larissa steal her thunder."Anyway," Larissa raised her eyebrows. "Dad, remember the reward you promised me?"Charmaine's face turned ashen. That was her room!Still overjoyed by the delightful news, Ethan replied, "But of course! Charlaine, empty your room now. Larissa will have it now."Charmaine pouted and clung to Penelope's arms to seek assistance. "Mom! I don't want to stay in the loft. The room has been mine for years. And you know I can't sleep in another bed!""I..." Penelope was at a loss for words. Truth be told, she favored Charmaine, whom she raised for 18 years. And not Larissa, who came back a year ago."Larissa, you heard Charmaine. Why do you want to take her room? She needs her mattress.

    After her speech, Charmaine looked at Larissa. She thought that Larissa would be overwhelmed by all these foreign brands. Still, Larissa smiled and showed no emotion.Charmaine pouted. Right. She shouldn't expect much from a country bumpkin. Larissa must have thought that she was just spewing gibberish just now!"Mom! I want a Chanel dress. Pleaaaase?" Charmaine held onto Penelope's arm and whined."Chanel?" Penelope flicked at her daughter's forehead playfully. "That's going to cost a lot.""I don't care! I don't care! Daddy says that I need to look glamorous. Don't you want everyone to see how beautiful I am?"Penelope thought about it and nodded. "It is an important occasion. There will be many young, successful businessmen present. And I want you to impress them. All right. Chanel is it."If the whole budget went to Charmaine's dress, there wouldn't be any money left for Larissa.Penelope shot a look at Charmaine before turning to Larissa. "Larissa! Let's pick your dre

    "Okay. Can you take it off the mannequin and let me take a look?" inquired Larissa."I said it costs 130 thousand dollars.""I hear you. What's the problem?" Larissa was confused."So, why do you want to check it out? You know how expensive it is. What if you ruined the fabric? You won't be able to pay for it."Larissa was surprised. "You want business, don't you? What makes you think that I can't afford it?""Oh, come on." The salesperson folded her arms impatiently. "Look at you. You're a poor high-schooler. Don't pretend to be who you aren't."She then assessed Larissa's appearance. "You have a pretty face. So, I bet you just want to take some pictures with expensive clothes. You'll post them online to make yourself look rich. "Next, you'll catfish some sugar daddies and whore yourself out to them. Go home, kiddo. You've disappointed your parents enough.""Excuse me?" Larissa was mad now. "Who is the manager here? I need to lodge a complaint.""Ha! You're too poor to be

    "Okey-dokey!" Larissa tilted her head to the side. She now had permission to dress Ambrose up. Yay!"By card, please." Larissa whipped out her black card."No need for that." The chubby man bowed. "This is a gift to Mr. Hamilton."Larissa did not relent. She slapped the card on the desk and said, "Use my card. I want to buy it for him."The man wanted to refuse Larissa, but Ambrose's murderous glare stopped him. He looked at Ambrose, who was now back in his wheelchair. Ah. The portly man came to a realization—Ambrose liked that woman."Sure. No problem." The man then let Larissa sign the receipt. "This is your receipt. Come again next time.""Let's go, Mister." With the receipt in her hands, Larissa jogged toward Ambrose."Anyway." Ambrose tried to sound casual. "You mentioned a banquet tomorrow? Have you bought a dress for yourself?"Larissa brandished the shopping bag in her hands. She even took out the dress to show Ambrose how hideous it was. "My mom wouldn't buy me

    "Your dad gave me 50 thousand dollars to buy dresses for you two. As for Charmaine's stylist, I'm paying him out of my own pocket. 300 dollars is all I can give you now. "Larissa, learn to be grateful. Charmaine is better than you in every regard. You should be like her."Larissa accepted the money and blocked Penelope on Whatsapp again."We're not a rich family. Yet you spent 50 thousand dollars to get Charmaine a stylist. You're just spoiling her. I'll tell Dad how unfair you are!" Larissa decided to go back to her room."Wait!" Penelope yelled. "Aren't you supposed to get your hair done?""What can 300 dollars get me? Nothing! I'll just tie my hair into a ponytail."The disrespect! If given the chance, Penelope would smack Larissa to get her money back. Alas, Caleb was still there. Plus, Penelope didn't want to make a fool of herself. In fact, ever since Larissa gave them the two million dollars, she began doing all sorts of weird things. She either asked for money or u

    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.

    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.
