Harper looked like her soul had left her body. She mumbled, "How could this be? Charmaine said—""Where did you hear that rumor, Harper?" Larissa changed the subject, shooting a look at the woman who was trying to leave the classroom through the back door."Charmaine Solace? What's a performing arts student like you doing in the faculty of medicine? Were you going to walk on a tightrope for us?" Larissa asked.Everyone looked to the back. "Who are you? You're not from our class, are you?" one student piped up."When did she get here? I thought she was one of us.""She's so creepy. What were you hiding there for?"Charmaine froze. Then, she slowly turned around to meet Larissa's gaze.Larissa raised her eyebrow, half amused. "Charmaine, don't tell me you got the wrong classroom."In front of everyone, Charmaine took a deep breath. She forced a smile and said insincerely, "My dear sister, I only came here to check on you."I was concerned because I heard you got into trouble wit
Ann Kruger burst into tears. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Larissa! I'll never insult you again!"Harper couldn't take it anymore and also apologized. "Yes, Larissa, we were wrong. I was too impulsive, and I shouldn't have listened to Charmaine."Since we've already cleared things up and I've apologized, can you forgive me and let this go, please?" she said.Harper was actually very confused. She remembered Charmaine telling her that Larissa was married. Since when did she say the woman was engaged? Were her ears not working? Did she mishear Charmaine? Harper didn't dare voice these questions out loud. All she could hope for was that this incident would blow over quickly.Larissa didn't answer. Instead, she looked toward Ambrose. He was the one who stood up for her, so he was the one who should decide whether they deserved forgiveness.Ambrose laughed coldly. "Not everything can be forgiven with a mere apology. You may be freshmen, but you're already 18. You're old enough to shoul
The chancellor introduced Professor Morgan to Fiona, then shot him a look that screamed, "This lady's just here to get a degree and will do whatever she wants. Mind your own business."Professor Morgan wanted to cry. Why did she have to pick the faculty of medicine? Did she look like a doctor in any way? Her green hair would probably scare her patients to death first.Meanwhile, Fiona had decided to listen to her father and start studying after almost getting killed. She realized that every time she got closer to her father, Jessica would get furious.Hmph! That bitch had better die of anger! When she arrived on campus, she walked around the faculties aimlessly. She was still trying to decide on a major when she saw Larry.Or, more accurately, she saw someone that looked like Larry from behind. She was overjoyed and rushed over eagerly. However … he turned out to be a she, and Fiona was disappointed.When Larissa turned around, she couldn't help but look at her again. The more
The more Harper talked, the more her spit started flying and the more twisted her expression got.Charmaine secretly smiled. This was the exact reaction she was looking for. Immediately, she pretended to be dejected."Since you consider me your best friend, I'll tell you another secret. You know who Zayn Harrison is, right? That celebrity guy? I was supposed to act opposite him in his latest film. He'd even gotten Jack Lewis to direct it. But Larissa was so jealous of me; she messed with my audition, and I lost that perfect role."Charmaine spoke as vaguely as possible. Whatever "messed with" meant, Harper was sure to fill in the gaps on her own."What?" Harper screeched. "Zayn Harrison? I love Zayn Harrison! You missed out on a huge opportunity, Charmaine! And it was a Jack Lewis film, too? Oh dear, I feel faint."Charmaine sighed miserably. "Yeah. Larissa was jealous of me, so she didn't want me to stand out."Harper almost blew up with rage. She started yelling as if she was
"Hey, are you Larissa Solace?"Larissa lifted her head in surprise. She looked at the few delinquents who were dressed rather unruly.Among them, Maya was standing beside one of the men. She looked resentful. When the few of them got a clear look at Larissa's beautiful face, they were left stunned, especially the man beside Maya. He seemed as if she was about to drool.The man suddenly switched his tone. He let out a flirtatious whistle. "Hi, gorgeous!"Maya was furious. She pointed toward Larissa and started cursing. "Larissa Solace, you cunning bitch! You already have a fiancé, yet you still shamelessly seduced my boyfriend! Do you have no shame? You slut! You piece of trash!""Who are you calling trash!" A cold voice sounded from behind.Maya replied, "I'm calling you trash!"Fiona didn't feel like eating in the school cafeteria. So, she decided to come out to have her meal.The moment she stepped out of the school gate, she saw a bunch of people blocking Larissa.Fiona
It was as if Fiona had been possessed. She was utterly stunned!She was dead. She was dead. She was dead.Larissa patted her on the head!Suddenly, Larissa's phone rang."Sorry. I need to take this call.""No … No worries." Fiona had yet to return to her senses. "Hello. Mister?""Has class ended?" A low and magnetic male voice sounded through the phone."Yes. I'm already at the school gate. I was just about to go to the Hamilton Estate to look for you." "I'm not at the Hamilton Estate. I'm going to the hospital for a while. Uncle Elon was admitted to the hospital. I need to go have a look."Upon hearing that, Larissa turned to look at Fiona.At that moment, Fiona was chatting with her bunch of friends. There was a bright smile on her face. It was as if she had no worries in the world.Larissa turned and let out a gentle sigh. "Mister, I'll go find you! Otherwise, it'll be too troublesome to go back and forth.""That's true. I'll have someone pick you up.""That's alrigh
Half an hour later, the car pulled up at the entrance of a private hospital. The moment Larissa got out of the car, she saw Ambrose, who had been waiting for her."Mister!"Larissa was like an excited little kid. She ran toward Ambrose happily."Mister, although it's only been a few hours since we last saw each other, I miss you so much!"Seeing the sincere smile on Larissa's face, Ambrose's heart was filled with tenderness. She displayed her affection for him openly and never hid it. Her wholehearted trust and reliance on him made Ambrose feel like he owned the world.Jessica made her way over. She smiled and said, "Brody, I'll go in and check on Dad. You both can come in a bit later!"As she finished, it was as if she recalled something. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I'm used to calling you Brody. Your fiancée doesn't seem to like me calling you that. I haven't thought of how I should call you. Brody, what should I call you from now on?"While Jessica was talking,
"Mister, your legs have remained mobile for quite some time. It may cause muscular dystrophy. You need to have a massage every day." Larissa started off by massaging Ambrose's legs. After warming up, she took out the specially crafted long needles from her bag."I had these needles custom-made, but I still find that it's lacking something. However, they're already made by the best craftsman in Ambrollum City. When we go to Jaedornia in the future, I'll find someone else to make them."Seeing the gleaming long needles in Larissa's hands, Ambrose fell into a brief silence.When Larissa had confidently promised to treat him, he assumed she would at least spend one to two years in medical school before treating him.He never expected Larissa to act so efficiently. She already had the needles prepared!Seeing the complex expression on Ambrose's face, Larissa joked, "Mister, don't tell me that you're afraid of needles!""Not a chance." Ambrose displayed a confident and self-assured s
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
