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.
Agnes lingered in her room anxiously. Occasionally, she would glance toward the window.When she spotted Ray, she opened the door and rushed toward him."How was it? Did you find out about the exam questions?" she asked eagerly.Ray took out a piece of paper from his pocket carefully. "It took some effort, but I got it."Agnes took the paper eagerly and glanced through the questions. "Thank you, Ray. I won't forget this when I become a royal pharmacist.""Don't mention it." Ray's face showed an infatuated expression as he gazed at the beautiful woman.Agnes kept the paper and leaned closer to Ray suddenly.She kissed his face and said cutely, "In the future, I'll need your help in many ways. You must help me!"Ray blushed as he stammered, "Agnes, I'll do anything for you. Not just stealing exam questions, but I'd even die for you if you asked. I won't hesitate!"A hint of disdain flashed in Agnes' eyes. She had no intentions of developing feelings for a simp!Ray was willing
Ray fixed a stern gaze on Larissa and questioned, "Which department are you from? Why are you causing trouble here? I'll have someone kick you out right away!" Larissa had been staying at Twilight for an extended period. It wasn't until Ray recently started working in the palace that their paths finally crossed."This is getting interesting!" A burst of laughter came from a woman.All eyes turned to observe the graceful figure walking out. She wore a tight leather shirt, paired with long, wavy hair and vibrant red lips.She approached Larissa and placed a hand on her shoulder. The men around suddenly felt itchiness on their noses as she moved. They nearly had a nosebleed!Agnes' eyes flashed with jealousy.She had been harboring envy toward Larissa for her beauty. But now, an even more stunning woman appeared.Her escalating envy drove her crazy.Agnes said coldly, "What kind of place do you think this is? Is your intention to seduce someone by dressing so inappropriately?"
Larissa said calmly, "Ms. Bradley, the royal pharmacist's role may just seem like a resume booster from your perspective. However, it holds significant gravity for those genuinely seeking the position."Your eligibility for the selection process was forfeited the moment you instructed Ray to help you steal the exam questions."As for Ray ..."Larissa lifted her chin as she announced, "You are fired for using your position to aid in exam cheating!"The official royal website will soon release a formal statement regarding this incident. Such incidents will not be tolerated in the future."Ray was stunned and collapsed to the ground. He pleaded regretfully, "I've realized my mistake. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do something like this again!"Larissa sneered. "Forgive you? If I weren't the examiner, you would have successfully helped Agnes in cheating."Allowing someone like Agnes, who lacks competence, to secure such a crucial role as a pharma
The first group of people was efficiently evacuated, thanks to the staff elevator's unexpected high speed.The crowd's confidence increased as they witnessed the successful rescue operations.Among the crowd were Xavier and Kate.Xavier said, "I just saw Mrs. Hamilton calling Gerald just now. I wonder if Birdie is doing well with her."Kate smiled and replied, "I think it's quite nice for Birdie to be with Mrs. Hamilton. It would be even better if she stayed there permanently."Xavier said angrily, "How can that be? Birdie is my precious daughter!"Kate looked at him sharply and exclaimed, "Why are you shouting?"Xavier defended himself, saying, "Dear, I'm not shouting at you. I just can't bear to be separated from Birdie."Kate glanced at him as if he were foolish. "Forget it. You wouldn't understand even if I explained!"Her words left Xavier feeling like he was unfairly treated.The rescue operation proceeded smoothly and in an organized manner, with only the final group o
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
