At the Forbes residence, Seth Forbes said to Talia, "Talia, you're already 25 years old. It's time you think about marriage."Talia bit her lip with a stubborn look on her face. "Dad, I don't want to get married. I don't like any of the blind dates you've arranged for me."She was not the least bit interested in those so-called talented young men.Seth furrowed his brows and sighed. "Talia, you're my only daughter. All I want is for you to be happy."If you don't like the blind dates I've arranged for you. You can still take your time to choose someone you like."However, you certainly cannot like that man with an unknown background!"Upon hearing this, Talia's body stiffened.She raised her head to meet Seth's gaze and replied with a voice full of determination, "I will only marry the man I love in this lifetime. I will not just listen to your orders and marry a random man."Seth's expression darkened. "In the end, you still like that man! He's currently still in a coma. If he
Larissa stroked her chin and said, "It's because a sorcery master once told my boss that if he collaborates with a family from the Southeast area, he'll be able to make a fortune."After doing some research, my boss discovered that the Forbes family just so happens to be in the Southeast. So, he sent me over to take a look."Many wealthy people were particularly superstitious. Hence, Stefan didn't question Larissa's words.With an eager glint in his eyes, Stefan looked at Larissa as if she were easy money."If that's the case, please come in!" Stefan glanced at the two people beside Larissa. "Welcome, ladies!"Yes, Zayn was once again cross-dressing.Stefan couldn't help but think that Joker surely knew how to make an entrance. The people he sent over were all exceptionally beautiful women."Please wait here while I inform Mr. Forbes." Stefan led Larissa, Zayn, and Rachel to the living room and then left.As soon as Stefan left, the three of them exchanged knowing glances and
Right at this moment, Stefan came rushing over."There you are, Ms. Solace. I've been looking everywhere for you!"Stefan glanced at Oliver and gave him a slight nod. "What are you doing here, Mr. Gilbert? Are you here to see Ms. Forbes?"Oliver smiled. "I was indeed here for Ms. Talia, but I'm sure she's unwilling to see me."I happened to run into these beautiful ladies, and we've been hitting it off. Therefore, I've decided not to bother Ms. Forbes anymore."Stefan pursed his lips.Oliver was such a player. It was a good thing Talia held no interest in him!Stefan couldn't be bothered to deal with such a shallow man like Oliver.He turned toward Larissa and said with a smile, "Ms. Solace, Mr. Forbes has agreed to see you. Please come with me."Larissa nodded. "Sure."Larissa shot Rachel and Zayn a knowing look and then went off with Stefan.Zayn stayed back to try to worm facts out of Oliver, while Rachel went off to gather information on her own.Just as Larissa was on
Larissa swiftly made her way to a uniquely renovated building.At that moment, two housekeepers who were knocked out by Rachel lay unconscious on the ground.Upon seeing Larissa's arrival, Rachel's eyes lit up. She immediately stepped forward."Boss, Ambrose is right inside. Something seems off about him. You better go check on him!"Larissa frowned and said in a low voice, "Rachel, you stay outside and keep watch. If anyone dares to barge in, get rid of them."Her voice was calm, yet there was an underlying anger hidden within.Rachel raised her chin confidently. "Leave it to me!"Larissa pushed open the door and walked into the room.The room clearly belonged to a girl, and it was meticulously clean and tidy.The white canopy on the bed fluttered lightly under the wind, revealing a familiar figure.Ambrose quietly laid on the bed, his handsome face basked in a gentle glow.At that moment, all Larissa could see was Ambrose.She slowly walked over and softly called out, "Mi
Upon seeing Zayn, Oliver's eyes instantly lit up. "Ms. Zendaya, there you are!"Who was he calling Ms. Zendaya?Zayn's face instantly darkened.He had finally managed to shake Oliver off, yet he was now back again!Rachel simply watched in amusement. She laughed hysterically. "Yup. Ms. Zendaya is right here."Oliver hurried over, exclaiming with a face full of delight, "Ms. Zendaya, where did you run off to? You disappeared so suddenly. I've been searching everywhere for you."He paused and then asked in puzzlement. "Isn't this Talia's room? What are you all doing here?"Oliver looked down and suddenly noticed the two unconscious housekeepers lying on the floor.His expression immediately hardened, and he stepped in front of Zayn. "Ms. Zendaya, it's not safe here. Don't worry, I'll protect you!"Zayn suppressed the urge to kick him away.With a high-pitched voice, he said, "These two housekeepers weren't feeling too well and passed out. We happened to pass by and saw them her
Talia rushed back to her room.However, just as she made it to her room door, she saw an unexpected someone standing in place."Oliver? What are you doing here?"Upon seeing Oliver, Talia frowned, and a disdainful look appeared on her beautiful face.She had already firmly rejected Oliver so many times, yet he was still so persistent. How could he still have the audacity to continue pestering her after being rejected so many times?She didn't know where Oliver got his confidence from for believing that he actually had a chance with her.How absurd! He had no chance at all! Her heart only belonged to Ambrose!Oliver wasn't blind. How could he possibly not notice the clear look of disdain in Talia's eyes?He had already held back for a long time. Now, he truly had enough and was not going to hold back any longer.He spoke up, "Mr. Forbes invited me, asking me to come over whenever I had the time. I'm not here for you, so please do not concern yourself with me."Upon hearing Oli
It was clear that Talia was merely deceiving herself.However, she was afraid that if she didn't think this way, she would lose her composure right then and there.Hence, while she was subconsciously aware that she was simply deceiving herself, Talia stubbornly held onto this thought.Since fate had brought them together, they were clearly destined to be together.Therefore, there was no way Ambrose could have been married.That woman inside the room couldn't possibly be his wife! She was nothing but a shameless coquette!With this thought in mind, Talia could no longer contain herself.She staggered toward the room. Perhaps it wasn't too late.A noble person like Ambrose should be treated with utmost respect. He shouldn't be tainted by such a shameless coquette!Rachel's face darkened, and she stepped in front of Talia. "You're not allowed to enter!"With a fierce kick, Rachel struck Talia right in her chest.Everything happened so quickly that everyone didn't even have tim
Seeing Ambrose finally awake, Talia should have felt elated.However, as she saw Ambrose tightly holding Larissa in his arms, Talia felt a sharp pang in her heart.This shameless coquette!Talia blamed herself for being too naive. She had even thought of working with Larissa, only to find that Larissa's true intention was Ambrose.She had been too careless, unknowingly providing Larissa with the opportunity to take advantage of Ambrose.Now, everything was too late!"Sir," Talia called out with a trembling voice. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at Ambrose with a sorrowful gaze.Yet, Ambrose didn't even spare her a single glance.Talia staggered. She had taken care of Ambrose for so long. How could he not recognize her?With unsteady steps, Talia stumbled toward Ambrose. "Sir, please look at me!"Zayn blocked her path and said with displeasure, "Ambrose, this is the woman who took you away while you were unconscious."It's because of her that we took so long t
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
