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,
Max held onto the chain with all his might, his veins popping from the strain."Mr. Hamilton is not conscious right now. We must stop him!""We can't!" Scarlett gritted her teeth; she felt the chain would slip out of her hand at any moment."We have to!"Max refused to let go of the metal chain even when his hands began to bleed and blister. The large industrial chains wrapped tightly around Ambrose's limbs, yet they failed to stop Ambrose from moving.Ambrose felt that everything was an eyesore. He wanted to murder everyone in sight.Ambrose boiled in a violent rage.He tugged on the chains and immediately sent Max flying.At the same time, several other bodyguards got jolted away by the force as well.All the bodyguards, including Max, collapsed to the ground.They coughed up blood and struggled to move."Mr. Hamilton!" Max shouted desperately as he lay on the ground. "Wake up, Mr. Hamilton!"But no matter how loud Max shouted, it was no use.Ambrose could not hear him
Larissa held Ambrose's hands, and the two appeared like a pair of conjoined twins."Mr. Hamilton?" Ace said excitedly when the duo came outside.Ambrose fiddled with Larissa's fingers nonchalantly. He didn't react to Ace."Don't bother trying. He hasn't regained consciousness," said Larissa. "I wrote a prescription. Prepare the herbs according to the list.""Yes, Madam."Ace left hurriedly with the prescription.During that time, Ambrose followed Larissa closely. He held her hand and had no signs of going rogue.Soon, Ace returned with the herbs.Larissa prepared the herbal medicine in the kitchen as Ambrose stood beside her, following her like a puppy.Everything looked peaceful.Suddenly, Ambrose turned pale as a wave of throbbing pain rushed over him.He had to hold onto the table to stabilize himself.Ace was startled. "Oh, no. Mr. Hamilton's about to go rogue again! Bring the chains!"Scarlett said grimly, "There aren't any more chains. He broke them."Just as they e
It may seem sudden, but Twilight had conspired with this for years. She had caught everyone off guard by suddenly launching an attack.Larissa hurriedly returned to the Sawyer family.Her uncles, Mandon and Andrew, had the same symptoms.Ambrose looked cold as if a storm was brewing inside him."What's the situation like outside?"Max reported solemnly, "Mr. Hamilton, things aren't looking great. Twilight has targeted the chairmen or chief executive officers of big conglomerates."It's been estimated that Twilight has gained control over 100 business owners, and the numbers are still climbing."They have the same symptoms as you did, Mr. Hamilton. The doctors have no antidote for it."Specialists are now urgently trying to come up with a solution, but things aren't looking bright. We're not sure how long it would take for them to produce results."Ambrose scoffed."Twilight is being overly ambitious!""What should we do now?" asked Max.Ambrose said, "Tell them that the pat
This was no joking matter!It was to Larissa's credit. Max would kill him if he didn't explain and allowed Gerald to take credit!Somebody asked curiously, "Who is she?"The bodyguard answered proudly and loudly, "She is Larissa Solace! Madam is a skilled doctor and will be able to resolve this issue!"So, Larissa's name began to spread like wildfire. Countless people praised and thanked her.…At the Sawyer residence, after completing several batches of medicine, the ingredients began to run low.Caspian, Dylan, and Rio were busy sourcing herbs and managing manpower.Even with Ambrose's men, they were short-handed.Ambrose rushed to the Presidential Office Building and explained the situation to Lucas.Lucas promptly gave Ambrose the authority to manage the case, giving him full control of this emergency.All herb stores across Jaedornia and neighboring states arranged urgent herb deliveries to the Sawyer residence.Deliveries arrived at the Sawyer residence endlessly.Th
Scarlett stepped aside, but she fixed her gaze on Twilight.Twilight said slowly, "You're still so pretentious and prideful. Healing unimportant people when your own is at stake. You even sent the bodyguards out to protect those idiots."Numerous clones surged in as they spoke and began fighting with the guards.Larissa said casually, "You created so many clones to control leaders of big conglomerates and attack the stock market."But you failed to bring down the stock market, and you couldn't control the business owners."Twilight looked angry.Larissa was right. Twilight had plotted her plan for years.She mass-produced clones in secret, thinking they'd be sufficient to replace the directors and leaders.But she hadn't expected that the clones had genetic defects, which made them easily discoverable.As a result, Twilight took a step back and made the clones poison the conglomerate leaders. She planned to restrict them before taking down the stock market at once.If she suc
Twilight looked determined."I'm serious. Tell your men to back off. I will count to three. If they don't back away, I will take extreme measures."Larissa looked at her in disbelief."Was that not 'extreme' already?"The discussion had ended.Twilight had a crazy and evil gaze."Larissa," she said angrily. "You made me do this!"As she finished, the remaining dozen of clones transformed.Their eyes turned red, and their demeanor changed.They couldn't feel any pain no matter how much they were hit. They continued to fight even after their limbs got broken.Luckily, the bodyguards responded in time to rescue their comrades from the clones' sudden outburst.Larissa frowned. She scanned the clones with her X-ray vision.She could see that there was a microchip in each of their brains. The chips had turned from a metallic color to a red hue.Larissa figured that the microchips had caused the clones to go crazy."Attack their heads!" Larissa shouted.Twilight was shocked."
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
