Chapter 7 What The Hell

Author: Dainty
Owen put a stack of teen romance novels down and gestured toward Larissa.

"Madam, these were selected for you according to Mr. Hamilton's instructions. I hope you like them."

Larissa was dumbfounded.

She glanced at the newly-added furniture. Then, she turned to stare at the rest of the office, which was decked out in cold colors.

The contrast was huge!

Ambrose said with a hint of uncertainty, "I was afraid you'd be bored, so I had someone prepare these for you. If you don't like them—"

"I love them!"

Larissa ran toward Ambrose and hugged him.

She exclaimed, "Mister, are you a genie? How come you can conjure up anything that I like?"

As Larissa's body pressed against his, Ambrose stiffened up and recalled the passionate scene from that night.

Larissa was quick enough to let go. Otherwise, she would've noticed the changes in his body.

Ambrose raised his hand and covered the crotch area of his pants. "I'd do anything for you."

Larissa kicked off her shoes. She wore the bunny slippers and took a few steps.

She then kicked off the pair of slippers and lay on the couch. After she tucked herself in the small blanket, she picked up a novel.

It was a queer novel.

That was her favorite genre! Ambrose knew her too well!

Ambrose saw the explicit cover of the book featuring two men. His lips twitched. Soon, his handsome face had a gloomy expression.

Snatching the book from Larrisa's hand, Ambrose declared, "I'm confiscating this one!"

He placed an intercom call, gritted his teeth, and said, "Owen, you've lost your bonus for this month!"

Owen bit a handkerchief, and tears streamed down his face.

He had accidentally slipped in his queer novel. Ambrose must have discovered it.

Larissa covered her mouth and laughed.

She had a comfortable time lounging at Ambrose's office.

Owen brought the signed and stamped contract. "Madam, the contract is ready."

"Thank you," Larissa replied.

Succumbing to her conscience, she turned to Ambrose and said, "Mr. Clark has been diligent in his work, Mister. How about we forget about the matter of deducting his bonus?"

Owen gazed at Larissa with gratitude.

Ambrose glanced at Owen before stating, "Consider this as your redemption."

Owen beamed. "Thank you, Mr. Hamilton and Madam!"

The old Ambrose was cold, decisive and meant what he had said.

After getting married, he was now a different man. He started to become affectionate, not to mention he pampered his wife. Those who doted on their wives were good men!

Larissa wanted to take the contract home. Thus, she didn't have dinner with Ambrose.

She declined his offer to give her a ride back home. After that, Larissa picked up her bag and boarded the bus.

Charmaine waited at the entrance of Hamilton Tower for several hours. Yet, she didn't see any security guards escorting Larissa out.

Instead, she was the one who got chased away by the security guards.

Charmaine grumbled, "Why did you only come home now, Larissa? Did you ignore what we asked for? Did you just spend the whole day cleaning?"

Penelope and Ethan had dark expressions on their faces. They thought Larissa would give it a shot!

Ethan said, "You've disappointed me, Larissa!"

Larissa took the contract from her backpack and said, "I've sealed the deal. Hamilton Group has agreed to collaborate with us."

"What? You've succeeded?" Shocked, Ethan accidentally spilled his hot drink and ended up burning his hand.

He could care less about his injury right now as he dashed over to Larissa.

After wiping his hands dry, Ethan took the contract.

Meanwhile, Charmaine was in disbelief. She exclaimed, "That's impossible! You're just a cleaner! How could Hamilton Group negotiate a deal with you? It must be fake! You must've printed out a fake document! You must be lying to Mom and Dad!"

Penelope pulled a long face and said, "Larissa, how dare you deceive us with a fake contract! I swear I'll disown you!"

Ethan read through the contract.

All the terms were favorable to the Solace family.

Hamilton Group wouldn't gain any advantages and offered many benefits to the Solace family instead.

Ethan's expression became darker.

The renowned Hamilton family was a top family in Jaedornia. Even if they were to stoop down and collaborate with other companies, they would show no mercy and secure all the privileges in their hands.

They wouldn't offer such generous terms. If the contract had been authentic, the top enterprises in Ambrollum City would've viewed Hamilton Group as a joke.

Ethan slammed a hand on the table and yelled, "Larissa Solace, how dare you give me a fake contract! Get out of the house right now!"

Larissa was truly speechless.

No wonder Solace Corporation was still a small fry company up until now. It turned out that Ethan was an idiot.

The phone rang. Ethan answered the call angrily. "Who the hell are you!"

"This is Peter Rhodes, the director of the Procurement Department from Hamilton Group. I'm in charge of any procurement matters with Solace Corporation. Are you Mr. Solace, the general manager?

Ethan's expression suddenly changed to a cheerful one. He held the phone, nodded, and said, "That's me! I'm Ethan Solace! I'm happy to work with Hamilton Group, Mr. Rhodes!"

Penelope and Charmaine were shocked.

After Ethan had hung up with a smile, Penelope asked, "Is this true? Was that really someone from Hamilton Group? Or did Larissa pay someone to deceive us?"

Ethan didn't bother to mince his words, "Do you think I'm an idiot? I've worked in the business sector for years! Do you think I can't discern whether the man's identity is real?"

He looked at Larissa with a loving expression, "How did you manage to succeed, Larissa?"

Larissa replied, "I met the higher-ups. I told them our family was happy to collaborate with them. Then, they agreed."

Ethan laughed heartily. "I see! That's great! It seems our family is quite well known. You've been a great help to me, Larissa!"

Charmaine was enraged, to say the least.

What the hell? How did things turn out like this?

Maybe Hamilton Group intended to collaborate with the Solace family all along. Larissa had just happened to meet the higher-ups at the right time.

If it had been Charmaine to meet them, she would have succeeded too. She had handed this golden opportunity to Larissa on a silver platter.

Charmaine tugged on Ethan's sleeve and pouted.

"Dad, I met Mr. Clark from Hamilton Group last time when I went to Hamilton Tower with Lukas. I talked to him about a potential proposal, and he had expressed interest in them. So, I guess that's why Larissa was able to seal the deal!"

    Ethan's eyes were oozing affection. "Oh, what wonderful news. Both of you are my dearest daughters."Charmaine looked at Larissa defiantly. Larissa might have gotten their father the deal, but Charmaine had contributed to the success too. There was no way Charmaine would let Larissa steal her thunder."Anyway," Larissa raised her eyebrows. "Dad, remember the reward you promised me?"Charmaine's face turned ashen. That was her room!Still overjoyed by the delightful news, Ethan replied, "But of course! Charlaine, empty your room now. Larissa will have it now."Charmaine pouted and clung to Penelope's arms to seek assistance. "Mom! I don't want to stay in the loft. The room has been mine for years. And you know I can't sleep in another bed!""I..." Penelope was at a loss for words. Truth be told, she favored Charmaine, whom she raised for 18 years. And not Larissa, who came back a year ago."Larissa, you heard Charmaine. Why do you want to take her room? She needs her mattress.

    After her speech, Charmaine looked at Larissa. She thought that Larissa would be overwhelmed by all these foreign brands. Still, Larissa smiled and showed no emotion.Charmaine pouted. Right. She shouldn't expect much from a country bumpkin. Larissa must have thought that she was just spewing gibberish just now!"Mom! I want a Chanel dress. Pleaaaase?" Charmaine held onto Penelope's arm and whined."Chanel?" Penelope flicked at her daughter's forehead playfully. "That's going to cost a lot.""I don't care! I don't care! Daddy says that I need to look glamorous. Don't you want everyone to see how beautiful I am?"Penelope thought about it and nodded. "It is an important occasion. There will be many young, successful businessmen present. And I want you to impress them. All right. Chanel is it."If the whole budget went to Charmaine's dress, there wouldn't be any money left for Larissa.Penelope shot a look at Charmaine before turning to Larissa. "Larissa! Let's pick your dre

    "Okay. Can you take it off the mannequin and let me take a look?" inquired Larissa."I said it costs 130 thousand dollars.""I hear you. What's the problem?" Larissa was confused."So, why do you want to check it out? You know how expensive it is. What if you ruined the fabric? You won't be able to pay for it."Larissa was surprised. "You want business, don't you? What makes you think that I can't afford it?""Oh, come on." The salesperson folded her arms impatiently. "Look at you. You're a poor high-schooler. Don't pretend to be who you aren't."She then assessed Larissa's appearance. "You have a pretty face. So, I bet you just want to take some pictures with expensive clothes. You'll post them online to make yourself look rich. "Next, you'll catfish some sugar daddies and whore yourself out to them. Go home, kiddo. You've disappointed your parents enough.""Excuse me?" Larissa was mad now. "Who is the manager here? I need to lodge a complaint.""Ha! You're too poor to be

    "Okey-dokey!" Larissa tilted her head to the side. She now had permission to dress Ambrose up. Yay!"By card, please." Larissa whipped out her black card."No need for that." The chubby man bowed. "This is a gift to Mr. Hamilton."Larissa did not relent. She slapped the card on the desk and said, "Use my card. I want to buy it for him."The man wanted to refuse Larissa, but Ambrose's murderous glare stopped him. He looked at Ambrose, who was now back in his wheelchair. Ah. The portly man came to a realization—Ambrose liked that woman."Sure. No problem." The man then let Larissa sign the receipt. "This is your receipt. Come again next time.""Let's go, Mister." With the receipt in her hands, Larissa jogged toward Ambrose."Anyway." Ambrose tried to sound casual. "You mentioned a banquet tomorrow? Have you bought a dress for yourself?"Larissa brandished the shopping bag in her hands. She even took out the dress to show Ambrose how hideous it was. "My mom wouldn't buy me

    "Your dad gave me 50 thousand dollars to buy dresses for you two. As for Charmaine's stylist, I'm paying him out of my own pocket. 300 dollars is all I can give you now. "Larissa, learn to be grateful. Charmaine is better than you in every regard. You should be like her."Larissa accepted the money and blocked Penelope on Whatsapp again."We're not a rich family. Yet you spent 50 thousand dollars to get Charmaine a stylist. You're just spoiling her. I'll tell Dad how unfair you are!" Larissa decided to go back to her room."Wait!" Penelope yelled. "Aren't you supposed to get your hair done?""What can 300 dollars get me? Nothing! I'll just tie my hair into a ponytail."The disrespect! If given the chance, Penelope would smack Larissa to get her money back. Alas, Caleb was still there. Plus, Penelope didn't want to make a fool of herself. In fact, ever since Larissa gave them the two million dollars, she began doing all sorts of weird things. She either asked for money or u

The snobbish attitude toward the Solaces faded at that instant. He even stammered, "Mr. Martinez, I-I'm a fan! I love your makeup style. No matter how many times I watch your Youtube tutorial videos, I can never grow bored of them. Can I get your autograph?" Was that Isaac Martinez?Isaac Martinez, who became famous 20 years ago?

    Larissa walked into the ballroom with steady steps. Her actions and smile exuded inherent sophisticated grace. The commotion dipped into silence at that instant. All eyes were fixated on her. Her beauty put everyone in a trance. A minute later, the guests finally began gushing about her identity.Penelope's face fell. She pulled Larissa to a corner, saying, "Look at you drawing attention wherever you go. Is this what I taught you? If you keep standing out while wearing such flamboyant clothes, how would others see us?"Larissa spread her hands. "I can't help it. I was born gorgeous."There were watchful eyes, so Penelope suppressed her anger and lowered her voice. "Today's party is of utmost importance. Don't mess it up, or I'll show up what 'messed up' really means. Behave and stop talking to random strangers. "Charmaine can't drink too much. If someone wants to toast with her, help her take it.

    "Madam is not in the ballroom. She's in the garden. She … doesn't look well." Owen found it difficult to reply to that question. Ambrose maneuvered the wheelchair in another direction wordlessly.Larissa hugged her knees under the tree, curling into a ball. She rested her chin on her arm. She tightened her arms in an attempt to keep herself warm. Her emotions made her eyes turn red.At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair approached her.Confused, she raised her head. Someone held her hands as her dress spread over the ground along her waistline.Her legs felt numb because she had been crouching for a long time. Suddenly, someone pulled her into an embrace.A familiar scent wafted into her nose. She looked up in a daze and called unconsciously, "Mister …""Sorry for keeping you waiting." Ambrose's low voice resounded, followed by a faint sigh. It took her a while to return to her senses. Resting against his chest, Larissa could hear his steady heartbeat. She slowly cle

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 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.

    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.

    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

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.

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!"

    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.
