They couldn't believe their eyes. Ambrose had brought back a trolley full of gifts!Ambrose could be seen meticulously arranging the gifts neatly on the ground.Then, with a plop, he dropped to his knees!Vincent, Rachel, and Ava were left utterly stunned.Ava, who only cared about looks, exclaimed, "This man is so handsome!"Rachel gritted her teeth and sneered. "Hmph, he's only putting on a show now? It's too late for that!"Vincent sipped on his juice and said, "So this was what Bad Daddy was up to?"Considering how seriously Ambrose had spoken earlier, Vincent had expected him to do something as grand as saving the world!But it turned out to be just this?Ava gasped in shock. "This is Larissa's husband?"Along the way, Rachel had filled Ava in on everything that happened.She learned the reason why Larissa and Vincent were forced to jump into the sea and ended up on the Isle of Hideon was all because of Ambrose.Ava huffed. "Who would have thought that someone as hands
Hearing Ambrose speak with such sincerity, Duke Eaton's expression finally began to ease up."Are you really willing to get rid of the Twilight Group for Rissa?" Duke Eaton asked.Kneeling on the ground, Ambrose said with determination, "Larissa is so gentle and kind. It's my fault for making her sad."Forget the Twilight Group. Even if I have to give up my all, I'd gladly do it!"Ambrose didn't want to go through the pain of losing Larissa again. Even if it meant going against the world, so be it!"Hmph!" Duke Eaton sneered. "I hope you'll keep your word!"A glimmer flashed in Ambrose's eyes. He asked cautiously, "Does that mean you've forgiven me, Dad?""It doesn't matter if I forgive you or not. What's important is whether Rissa will forgive you!"With that, Duke Eaton turned around and left.Rachel huffed. Observing Duke Eaton's attitude, he was clearly more bark than bite.The door that had been tightly closed suddenly swung open.Larissa was immediately faced with a ma
Larissa cried out in frustration, "Daddy, how could you do this to your own daughter?"Duke Eaton felt a bit guilty and gave Larissa a reassuring look.Then, he turned toward Ambrose and said, "Ambrose, you're usually so occupied with work, you barely have time to be with Larissa. "Therefore, I hope you can stay at Sisilia Island for good. What do you think?"Duke Eaton's plan was for Ambrose to be a live-in son-in-law.Ambrose glanced at Vincent.His gaze made Vincent shudder uncomfortably. He quietly clung to Duke Eaton's leg."You're absolutely right, Dad. "I'll train Vincent well so that he can mature quickly and take over my business as the Hamilton Group's president."That way, I'll be able to remain by Larissa's side for good," Ambrose said with a smile.Vincent was dumbfounded.Ambrose was truly shameless! He had helped him so much earlier, yet he was now doing him dirty!Vincent dove into Duke Eaton's arms and cried, "Grandpa, I don't want to become president!"
Ambrose looked at Galileo provocatively. "I shouldn't trouble you to take care of my son."Galileo replied nonchalantly, "It's no trouble at all."After all, during the few years when you weren't by Larissa's side, Vincent and I have spent quite a lot of time together. Probably much more than you, his so-called father." Ambrose narrowed his eyes dangerously. "So what?""It's nothing. If there comes a day when you decide you don't want them anymore, I'll be more than happy to take care of them for life."Galileo's smile made Ambrose's blood boil.The two equally tall men with strong bearings stared at each other. The atmosphere around them slowly started to tense up.Vincent chewed on his finger, feeling a bit scared.Just then, the room door opened and Larissa walked out.Seeing the scene before her, she frowned. "Are you two fighting again?""How could that be?" Ambrose patted Galileo's shoulder and said in a friendly tone, "Galelio and I were just catching up!"Galileo gr
Ramon was an unambitious man.Hence, the Walter family's authority fell into Barbara's hands.Most of the Walter family members found Barbara unfit for the role and were left extremely dissatisfied.Just as the dissatisfaction against her grew, Barbara coincidently found Birdie while at sea.At first glance, Birdie bore a striking resemblance to Sandra's deceased daughter!Looking at Birdie's adorable little face, a malicious idea formed in Barbara's mind.She planned to have Birdie impersonate Sandra's deceased daughter and use her to steal the Walter family's land deeds and seals.Once she obtained them and got Sandra under her control, she'd be able to rightfully claim the Walter family's authority!However, Barbara never anticipated Birdie to be so stubborn despite her young age.If she had known that feigning kindness was hopeless, she would have just taken out her knife to threaten her earlier!Birdie frowned. "But I don't even look like her. Do you think your sister wo
Birdie was opposed to it, but she couldn't refuse. If she did, the cursed worm in her stomach would act up again.Hence, Birdie had no choice but to change her clothes.Barbara then redid her hair and clipped on a yellow duck hairpin.She said in satisfaction, "You really do look like her. I knew I got the right person."Barbara forcefully brought Birdie out from the underground passage.Along the way, Birdie secretly memorized the route.Just as Barbara said, the place where she had been locked up was an underground passage that looked rather old.Upon making it out, Birdie was immediately taken to see Sandra.They arrived at the Walter family's head's residence. The entrance was grand, yet it gave off an eerie vibe."Sandra, I found your daughter!" Barbara exclaimed with fervor.The room was dark and a woman was seen to be sitting inside.With her hair disheveled, the woman sat there cradling an old Barbie doll in her hands.She stared out at the window, not blinking once
Vincent gently tugged Larissa's hand, signaling for her to bend down. He then whispered something in her ear.Larissa pondered for a moment and then nodded her head. "Be careful.""I will!" Vincent nodded firmly then ran off with MAVIS.They arrived at a secluded area.Vincent activated the control pad on his watch and said, "Let's go, MAVIS!""Yes, young master!" MAVIS sprouted out two iron wings and carried Vincent over the wall.Upon landing, Vincent said to MAVIS, "Let's spread out and look for Birdie."MAVIS flew into the sky and activated its infrared tracker."Young master, Birdie has been spotted. She's in the backyard right ahead!"But the walls over there are too high. We'll surely be discovered if we fly there!""Let's just head over first!"Vincent ran over and stopped right at the backyard's entrance. He stroked his chin as he pondered.Just then, two young housekeepers walked past. Vincent quietly sneaked behind them."Have you heard? Ms. Walter found her dau
There was a slight shift in Barbara's expression.She suddenly remembered that Birdie had previously mentioned that someone would come to save her.Could this beautiful woman before her be the "Ms. Larissa" Birdie had been constantly talking about?"There are no children here. Stop causing trouble!" Barbara said defiantly.Larissa sneered. "Looks like you want to do this the hard way?""How dare you! The Walter family isn't some pushover. Gather all the bodyguards!"Very quickly, Larissa and Ambrose were surrounded by a wall of bodyguards.Larissa raised a brow at Ambrose. "Mister, shall we see who can get rid of these bodyguards first?"Ambrose looked at her dotingly. "Sure. Whatever you want.""Here I go!" A cunning glint flashed in Larissa's eyes as she charged toward the nearest bodyguard.Ambrose calmly rolled up his sleeve and signaled at a few bodyguards, challenging them to come at him.The bodyguards were appalled. They had never seen such an arrogant person before!
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
