From a distance, a group of angry family members could be seen swarming toward the director's office. Even the security guards couldn't stop them.Larissa smirked.She decided to let the two take the blame themselves!As she left, she even showed the way to the patient's family members, who had come for an explanation."The director's office is over here! He's in there with his wife."Seeing how they charged into the room, Larissa smirked and left.She planned to stroll around the hospital to search for clues."Skye? Why are you here?"Behind her, Savannah asked in surprise.Larissa pouted. She was starting to get annoyed by this little bitch."Must I report my whereabouts to you?"Savannah was shocked.Previously, she made a mistake with the anesthetics dosage for surgery, where the patient almost died.Madison promised to blame it on Skye instead.Now was about the time when the patient's family members would show up, and Skye would be the sacrificial lamb.Savannah wo
Savannah injured her face from the fall, so Madison brought her to a room to get it stitched up.The nurses searched everywhere, but no cosmetic needles, sutures, or scar removal creams could be found.Madison was mad, but she felt bad to see Savannah's bleeding wound.Left with no choice, she brought Savannah to another hospital for treatment.In recent years, Carter Hospital had stolen a lot of business from other competitors. Naturally, they were not welcomed at other hospitals.A houseman was assigned to stitch up Savannah's wounds, which turned out to look like a crooked caterpillar. A scar would be left behind even after it recovered.Savannah whined, "Mom, it was Skye who pushed me down the stairs! That bitch! You must avenge me!"Madison was boiling with hatred, too. "That little bitch. I will definitely make her pay!"…Larissa returned to the Hamilton residence to see Ambrose dressed in a crisp, handmade black suit.The sharp tailoring accentuated his perfect figure
When Savannah heard that Larissa was simply his niece, she felt confident.It was her first time seeing a man as handsome as Ambrose. On top of that, he was the Hamilton Group's president!The perfect man had just fallen from the sky!Savannah thought that it was her lucky day. She silently rejoiced.Then, she slowly approached Ambrose with a plate of foie gras."Hello, Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Zink is my uncle, and he noticed that you haven't been eating, so he sent me to serve you some food."Foie gras is very nutritious, would you like to have some?" Savannah said cutely.Larissa's gaze turned cold for a moment. She silently clicked her tongue at Savannah for eyeing Ambrose.Savannah was asking for it!Larissa grumbled, "How can you eat innards? It's disgusting! Ew!"Anger flashed in Savannah's eyes.She wondered if Larissa was some country bumpkin for not knowing foie gras. It was a waste for a beautiful face to be so uncultured!Savannah gazed lovingly at Ambrose, trying to c
Skye's wounds were still recovering.For the sake of treating her, Larissa visited a herb store to buy herbs.She walked in to see Savannah and Pippa.Pippa was trying her best to convince Savannah."Savannah, a woman's beauty comes from within. Herbal gelatin is good for you; you should buy more."Savannah touched her face and said, "What other good supplements do you have? Show me all of them."Just after Madison had given her a million dollars, she immediately jumped to shopping for beauty supplements.As for Saul who was still detained…Savannah thought the adults' matters had nothing to do with her.Pippa signaled the store employee.The owner promised to give her a commission for every referral, thus she diligently persuaded Savannah to buy more.Larissa raised a brow at the situation.She walked up to the counter and said, "Do you have high-quality herbal gelatin? Let me see."Savannah casually glanced over, and her eyes widened in shock!It was Ambrose's niece, wh
Pippa snatched Savannah's card from her hand and handed it to the employee.She said impatiently, "Swipe it!"Then, she turned around and pretentiously consoled Savannah."Savannah, your family is so rich. You shouldn't care about small money like this. It's more important that you can shame her!"After several attempts, the employee said with a frown, "Ms. Carter, your card has insufficient balance.""How is that possible?" shouted Savannah. "I have a million dollars in my card. How can it be insufficient?""Please have a look."The employee showed her the terminal's screen, which displayed "Insufficient Balance"!Savannah recalled how she met up with Pippa, had lunch, and then went to the beauty salon for a facial treatment.Along with the membership package, she spent 100 thousand dollars at the beauty salon!After spending another 150 thousand dollars on the herbal gelatin and 800 thousand dollars on the Eldoragin, it only made sense that she had no money left!Savannah
Several girls mocked, "Forget it, Savannah. Look at how dumb Skye looks. She probably can't even drink!""Really? I can't believe there are people who can't drink. That's so fake!""Exactly! People would laugh at her when she attends business meetings!""Oh, please. When would she ever get to attend business meetings? Savannah's the one who will be inheriting Carter Hospital!"Savannah signaled Pippa.Pippa shouted, "Skye, if you disagree, come have a drinking contest with Savannah!"Larissa smirked and mocked, "Do you think being an escort will enable you to inherit your family business? Why don't you all become escorts, then?"You'd get to increase your alcohol tolerance, learn how to socialize, and inherit your family business. It's killing three birds with one stone!"The girls were models who often hung out with rich men; they've had plenty of experiences as escorts.When they heard Larissa, they turned red from anger.Savannah pretended to be the peacemaker. "Skye, they
Savannah had just gotten conned by Larissa into spending a large sum of money. She had spent all of the million dollars that Madison had given her.She had no money left.They opened six bottles of vodka, which cost over 300 thousand dollars.Along with the room charges, other alcohol, beverages, as well as fruit platters and the sort, the bill would come up to around 800 thousand dollars.But Savannah was no easy touch!Savannah said shamelessly, "Why so serious? We were just making a sisterly joke, not making an actual bet!"Plus, Skye drank all that vodka. She should be paying for it!"Everyone was shocked at Savannah's brazenness.Larissa tilted her head. She picked up a beer bottle and started fiddling with it.She said casually, "Didn't we make a bet? Everyone witnessed it. Why must I cover the bill?"Savannah insisted, "You were the one who drank the vodka, so you should pay."It's Mr. Webb's birthday today. Don't you feel bad for showing up empty-handed? Just cover t
The room was too dark. Plus, Pippa was too preoccupied by the guilt to notice Larissa's actions."Skye, why aren't you drinking? You had so much alcohol earlier. You should have some milk to soothe your stomach," said Pippa pretentiously.Larissa lightly swirled the glass with a spurious smile on her face.Pippa was starting to get impatient. She said again, "Skye, it's for your own good. Drink up!"Larissa raised the glass and said, "Cheers, then!""Cheers!" Pippa gleefully said.When she saw that Larissa had drunk the milk, a wicked expression flashed across Pippa's face.She secretly signaled to Savannah assuringly.Savannah smirked and held Darren by his arm.She whispered to him, "Mr. Webb, it's all ready. You can go to the room next door and wait for your delivery."Darren quirked a lewd smile and groped Savannah quickly."Sure, I'll be waiting for my delivery!"Then, he stumbled out of the room with his friends.After a few minutes, Pippa thought that the pill must
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
