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!
"Mommy!"Vincent clung onto Larissa's leg and tilted his chubby face to look up at her. "Mommy, I found Birdie. Aren't I amazing?"Larissa smiled and placed a kiss on his chubby cheeks. "Yes, you are!"Vincent beamed with joy!He then turned toward Ambrose with a smug look on his face.Suddenly, he felt a kiss on his cheek.Vincent froze.Ambrose had just kissed him on the cheek, perfectly overlapping the spot where Larissa had kissed him!With tear-filled eyes, Vincent was about to vent his frustration to Larissa. But Birdie beat him to it.She rushed over to Larissa and buried her face in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably."Ms. Larissa, what took you all so long?""I'm so sorry, we only just found you. How have you been? Were you mistreated by anyone?" Larissa gently asked as she wiped Birdie's tears away."I was terribly mistreated!" Birdie held Larissa's hand tightly and pointed at Barbara without hesitation."That evil woman made me do terrible things and even forced m
Ambrose took Larissa's hand and carefully helped her wipe them clean."Thanks, Mister!" Larissa shot Ambrose a sweet smile before turning toward Barbara, who was in distress."What else could it be?" Larissa smiled innocently and said, "It's the cursed worm you fed to Birdie.""No … No! Have you lost your mind? How dare you make me eat the cursed worm!" Barbara exclaimed as her body trembled uncontrollably.Her face turned ghostly pale and she clutched her neck tightly, trying to get the worm out.However, it was no use. The small cursed worm had already slid down her throat.With a thud, a small drum fell from Barbara's body.MAVIS swiftly activated its roller shoes and zipped over in a flash. It picked up the small drum and handed it to Larissa."Good job, MAVIS!"Larissa took the quaint-looking small drum and observed it thoroughly.Barbara was dumbfounded. Only when the small drum was in Larissa's hands did she finally come back to her senses."You can't play it!" she ex
Someone tried to approach Sandra in the chaos but was forcefully pushed out by others."Leave this place, ungrateful people! Only a few of us still stand by Sandra. Haven't you tormented us in the past?"We won't allow you to exploit the current situation by taking advantage of Sandra's comeback."Despite the elderly being sincerely loyal to Sandra, they had consistently faced suppression from Barbara and her followers.If it weren't for their reluctance to see the Walter family under Barbara's control, they would have left the Walter family long ago!Barbara's face reflected profound despair.She had dedicated many years of hard work and invested much effort into this.Closing her eyes, she was reluctant to accept the reality of having lost it all.She couldn't understand where she fell short compared to Sandra, aside from their different backgrounds.She considered herself superior to Sandra in terms of both career and family.Barbara turned to look at Ramon, who had been s
Sandra signaled her bodyguard at the door to allow their entry.Max rushed toward Ambrose. "Mr. Hamilton, urgent matter."He approached Ambrose and said something in a lowered voice.Ambrose looked at Larissa and said, "Larissa, it seems we need to leave immediately."Initially considering asking them to stay, Sandra abandoned the idea upon noticing their urgency. She reluctantly said her goodbyes.Suddenly, Birdie released Vincent's hand and ran back."Ms. Sandra, here's my contact information. You can reach out to me to play!"Sandra was surprised. "Birdie!"Birdie smiled at her. "I'm really going now. Goodbye!"She waved her hand and ran back to Vincent, once again holding Vincent's hand.Although Vincent felt a twinge of disdain, he suppressed his emotions and allowed her to hold his hand upon seeing Birdie's distressed expression.On the way, Max quickly briefed Ambrose on the situation.He explained that the personnel from the Twilight Academy of Sciences were invited
"Make way, don't block the path!"Several bodyguards cleared a path through the crowd aggressively.Birdie walked at a slower pace as she was petite with short legs.A bodyguard pushed her. "Where did this brat come from? Go away!"Larissa quickly pulled Birdie into her arms and glared fiercely at the bodyguard.The arrogant bodyguard retorted, "What are you staring at? Haven't you seen our young lady? Clear the way!"A young woman approached from the group of bodyguards.She was dressed in a limited edition Chanel dress, paired with an elegant hat. Her demeanor made it seem as if a celebrity had arrived.The crowd started to gossip. "Who is this person?""This is Ms. Agnes of the Bradley family's! The Bradley family's journey from a small pharmaceutical company to becoming a listed company hasn't been an easy one!""I've heard that this young lady is capable. She's applying for the royal pharmacist position, likely aiming to boost her resume!"Sighs spread through the crowd
Agnes gazed out of the window at the magnificent palace nearby. A resolute expression appeared on her face.As a recent college graduate lacking exceptional skills, securing approval in the company proved to be a challenge for her.So, she decided to participate in the royal pharmacist selection on Sisilia Island to enhance her resume.She believed that gaining one or two years of experience there would pave the way for a smooth transition to a leadership role in the company.Therefore, she was determined to win the royal pharmacist selection.Agnes' eyes gleamed with anticipation as she contemplated something even more significant.She had heard about a man in the royal family named Galileo.Despite being the duke's adopted son, he was both handsome and wealthy. Rumors suggested that he seldom made public appearances due to health issues.She believed that she would have a chance to get close to Galileo and initiate a beautiful encounter once she became the royal pharmacist.
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
