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
Larissa rushed toward Kennedy and asked quickly, "Are you Kennedy? What happened?"Kennedy managed to utter a single word weakly, "Chip," before coughing up blood.Larissa urged, "What chip? Explain it clearly!"However, Kennedy's vital signs were gone. His breathing stopped.Suddenly, an explosion erupted. The impact was so large that it caused the entire building to shake.Larissa's expression changed. "Is Mister over there?"As she spoke, she rushed toward the floor where the explosion had occurred.Max and Rachel followed closely behind.Larissa saw a familiar tall figure through the haze of smoke.Her eyes welled with tears as she rushed toward the familiar figure and leaped into his arms."Larissa!" Ambrose hugged her tightly. He could feel her body trembling slightly.Ambrose said guiltily, "Sorry for worrying you."Larissa looked up and smiled. "Mister, I'm just relieved you're okay. By the way, where did you go? Did you catch the spy?"Ambrose shook his head. "The
Ambrose took the test tube and examined it.He frowned as he said, "If implanting a chip can transform someone into a super soldier, wouldn't it be easier than creating clones?"Larissa asked, "Mister, have you come up with something?"Ambrose nodded. "The spy I was chasing earlier used to be under Katherine. If I remember correctly, he had connections with a notorious international organization."Let's not discuss that now. We should leave first!"…Larissa returned to Twilight, while Ambrose went to handle the issue raised by this incident.The incident caused great chaos, affecting the president. As the president's special assistant, Ambrose had to report the situation to Lucas.Lucas was furious upon hearing the news.He immediately granted Ambrose the authority to lead the investigation. His goal was to uncover the mastermind behind the incident.Meanwhile, at Twilight, Larissa went to the castle to find Sage."You're being naive, Larissa. If Ambrose betrayed you, kick
Birdie looked at Jordan with sparkling eyes and said shyly, "Miss, you're so pretty. Can we be best friends?"There was a beat of silence.All of a sudden, Jordan burst into tears.Luca laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground, gloating at Jordan's misfortune.Vincent quickly pulled Birdie aside and explained to her. "Jordan is a boy. Don't say things like 'pretty,' 'beautiful,' or 'like a girl' in front of him. He'll cry if he hears those words."Birdie looked puzzled.What? How could someone who was so pretty be a boy?Luca suddenly noticed Birdie and felt she was the most adorable girl in the world.Birdie was especially cute, with natural curly hair tied in two small buns. She was wearing a beautiful little dress.At first glance, she resembled a doll.Luca's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Miss, what's your name?"Birdie blinked her big eyes revealing a hint of helplessness."Luca!" Vincent's face darkened.He walked up to Birdie, pulled her behind him, and glared at
The teenager wiped the tears and snot from his face, gritting his teeth in anger."Just you wait," he said. "I'm going home to get my dad!"Vincent smirked and said, "Sure, I'll wait for you. My house is at Catania 1."The teen thought the address sounded familiar, but he was too furious to think clearly."Brace yourself!" After saying this, he hurried away.Jordan walked over to Birdie awkwardly and whispered, "Thank you."Birdie looked at him sparklingly. "Then, let's play with dolls together."Jordan's face changed in a second as he rejected, "No!"Luca used his chubby body to push Jordan out of the way and came up to Birdie. He said in a flattering tone, "Birdie, what was that thing you threw just now? It was so powerful!"Birdie tilted her chin. "It's simple! If I had more materials, I could have made an even more powerful bomb!"Luca was baffled. "B—Bomb?""That's right!" Birdie said matter-of-factly. "Just a miniature bomb. It's harmless."Luca's eyes were shining wi
The father-son duo came to pick a fight, but they left with their tails between their legs.Neil's friends cautiously approached him at this moment. They said in awe, "You dared to provoke Sisilia Island's infamous little devil? You're so brave!""Hehe, I've always been fearless," the blond-haired and blue-eyed teenager said with a forced smile.He was thinking that he would run away as far as possible from that little devil, Vincent, the next time he saw him.Duke Eaton was adept at handling complaints and walked away with a smirk.He honed his skills at it considering Vincent had been causing mischief since he was a child.Vincent was only ever a cute and warm-hearted angel in Larissa's presence. To everyone else, he was a little devil.…Vincent's chubby little hands propped up his chubby chin as he sat by the fountain pool.Now and then, his little feet moved on the surface of the water, creating ripples.Birdie appeared behind him at some point and sat down next to him.
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
