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
Larissa said with a grin, "I'm not that ruthless. The most I would do is cripple them."Ambrose patted her head. "No matter what it is you want to do, I'll help you."He didn't tell Larissa that in the time that he was unconscious, he had a really long dream.He couldn't remember the details, but he felt a lingering sense of uneasiness in his heart as if something bad was about to happen.Ambrose tightly held Larissa's waist, as if trying to pull her into him and never to part with her again.At this moment, the Forbes residence was in a complete mess, with the sounds of people fighting echoing through the air.However, Larissa and Ambrose seemed completely unbothered by the noise and were in their own world.Talia gazed at the loving pair through the crowd, her heart clenching in pain. She was overwhelmed with jealousy and hatred toward Larissa.Yes. She only hated Larissa, and her love for Ambrose remained.Up until now, Talia still believed that it was Larissa who seduced A
Talia couldn't help but wonder if she had been as brave as Larissa, would things have been different?But unfortunately, there were no ifs as there was no way she would ever dare to take such risks.With a blank expression, Talia took in the tragic scene before her.She had ruined the Forbes family!"Mister, let's go." Larissa smiled as she wrapped her arms around Ambrose's.The Forbes family guards were no match for the army of clones. They collapsed to the ground one by one.Under Lucky's command, the army of clones only attacked the people who fought back.As for the innocent housekeepers and the rest of the Forbes family members, they were simply left unharmed.Seeing the Forbes family suffer such great losses, Seth's legs gave out. He crumpled to the floor.Who was the one responsible for the Forbes family's downfall?Yes, it was Talia!If she hadn't brought Ambrose back home and harbored delusional thoughts about him, none of this would have happened.They could have
Ambrose booked the best suite among the first-class cabins. The room was equipped with luxurious facilities, no less impressive than a five-star hotel.Due to Ambrose's prior disappearance, he had tons of work piled up for him. Seizing this elusive opportunity, he held a conference call with Owen to deal with his accumulated work.Larissa was idle in the cabin. After informing Ambrose, she went to the dining hall. She found herself at the buffet on the cruise's first floor after a stroll.The ceiling was adorned with a magnificent chandelier, shimmering with a dazzling glow. The symphony orchestra filled the ambiance with their melodious music.Since it was currently mealtime, quite a number of people were gathered in the dining area, with most of them being the affluent first-class passengers.The ladies, in particular, looked glamorous. Anyone could tell they were part of the upper crust.Stepping into the dining area, Larissa had the attendants arrange two seats for her. She d
Before Larissa could speak, Imogen approached Ambrose in a hurry.With a servile expression, she squeaked, "Mr. Hamilton, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here!"Ambrose's nonchalant gaze swept past her. "Who are you?"Imogen introduced herself hastily. "I'm Imogen. My husband's Donnell York from York Holdings.""Oh," Ambrose replied absently.Then, he took Larissa's hand and asked warmly, "Why haven't you started eating yet?"Larissa thought this was her chance to act up.She glowered, pressing her lips together. Her tone manifested a tinge of wrongfulness as she spoke, "Someone said I came here by mistake. She said I don't deserve to dine here!""By mistake?"Ambrose glanced over at Imogen, who was stunned.He raised his eyebrows and crooned, "Babe, I should've been more thoughtful. I should've reserved the entire restaurant for us instead so someone wouldn't have the chance to ruin your mood."Anxiety stewed in Imogen's stomach. She knew she was done for.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
