After dinner, Ambrose volunteered to wash the dishes. There was a dishwasher in the kitchen, so Ambrose only needed to wash some pots and pans. Larissa felt comfortable letting him handle it. She prepared some fruit and fed it to Ambrose piece by piece. After doing the dishes and finishing the fruit, Larissa brought Ambrose out for a walk. "Mister, you used to sit around all day. Staying indoors after dinner is not good for digestion. Let me push you outside for a walk!" While waiting for the elevator, they heard a commotion. Things were being thrown around, and an argument was going on downstairs. "What's wrong with me going upstairs? I'm doing it for the sake of our daughter! I'm not a workaholic like you! Have you ever thought about our daughter's future?" "Have some self-awareness! Don't you know who Mr. Hamilton is? How dare you think of a plan like that! Even if Beatrice was normal, she wouldn't measure up to Mr. Hamilton's standards!" "You have gone too far! What f
"Mister, what are you taking?" Larissa asked. "I'm taking sleeping pills." "Do you have trouble sleeping? Why do you need to take sleeping pills?" Ambrose replied casually, "If I don't take sleeping pills, my legs will hurt so much that I can't sleep."His nerves were injured by shrapnel, causing him to suffer from intense pain throughout the night. After suffering numerous sleepless nights, Ambrose resorted to taking sleeping pills before going to sleep. Gradually, he became dependent on them. He had to take two pills every night to sleep soundly. There were only two times that he had not taken them. The first time was when they had slept together. The second time was when Larissa had gotten drunk, and he accompanied her all night. Since Ambrose had to take sleeping pills every day, it was evident that he had severe insomnia due to pain. Larissa was concerned about Ambrose. "Taking too many sleeping pills is not good for your health and can lead to dependency. Let me gi
No matter how brazen Fiona might be, she couldn't possibly hit an elderly person. So, she decided to dodge Eliza's attacks awkwardly. Larissa couldn't stand by and watch her friend suffer. She quickly went up to help. While Larissa yelled at Eliza to stop, she went to James and discreetly gave him a few more kicks. "My ribs! My ribs are broken!" James screamed in agony. Chaos erupted among the crowd. Sensing something was wrong, some students ran to inform the professors and called the police. The professors came over immediately and restored order at the scene. The police also arrived promptly and took everyone to the police station. The Hayes family glared daggers at Larissa, as if she was their sworn enemy. They blamed her for Ethan's decision to put a stop to their involvement in usury. Yesterday, Eliza had ordered Larissa to go to the Hayes residence, but she ignored the call and even blocked her number. This was why the Hayes family came to school and stirred up troub
Charmaine was speechless. Why was she in trouble again? Larissa pulled Fiona over and said, "This is my classmate. She is also a student in the faculty of medicine. She is not some unruly person as you thought!" Penelope glanced at Fiona's flashy outfit and spat on the ground. "With her trashy appearance, it's impossible that she's a medical student! She's clearly a spoiled brat with a poor upbringing! Only you would be so blind to befriend someone like her!" Penelope continued, voice laced with disdain, "Larissa, you always accuse me of favoring Charmaine and treating you unfairly. Why don't you reflect on yourself and what you have done? "Look at the friends you've made and compare them to the refined ladies Charmaine associates with. That's the difference between the two of you! If you could be more like Charmaine and make friends with rich young ladies, I would not be so disappointed in you!" Larissa replied calmly, "Oh, I forgot to introduce her. This is my classmate, Fi
"Ms. Lancaster, allow me to apologize on behalf of my wife's rude behavior. Please don't take this matter personally. I actually have a lot of respect for Mr. Lancaster," Ethan said solemnly.Fiona waved her hand indifferently and sneered, "You don't have to apologize to me. Besides, I quite enjoyed watching how this drama unfolded."However, I suggest that you and Larissa take another paternity test. There might have been a mistake last time."After all, even I, an outsider, can see that Larissa doesn't resemble her mother or any of her maternal relatives."When Ethan heard that, he became more annoyed.If not for the fact that he had to be mindful of Fiona's identity, he would have cursed out loud. This woman really likes to stick her nose in other people's business!Ethan took a deep breath and said, "Penelope, let's get a divorce."His words were so unexpected that they shocked everyone in the Hayes family. Eliza was the first to speak up."Ethan, what nonsense is this? You
The salesperson said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, but there's only one sofa left in this color. Would you like to choose a different color instead?""I've set my eyes on this one. Besides, she hasn't paid yet, right? I'll pay first!" The woman shook the credit card in her hand as she said so.The woman looked young, and she had on delicate makeup. She was dressed in expensive yet stylish clothes.When Larissa walked over, the woman didn't avoid eye contact. Instead, there was a hint of provocation on her face. She smiled and said, "I've taken a liking to this sofa, you don't mind, do you?"Larissa responded indifferently, "I don't mind, you go ahead."The woman confidently handed her card to the salesperson and said, "I'll be buying it. Swipe my card!"The salesperson could only smile awkwardly at Larissa and then ran over to process the payment. Unable to get the sofa she wanted, Larissa continued to look at other things.Then, she had her eyes set on a table lamp. However
Miranda was fuming. She had custom-made this luxurious silk cocktail dress just to meet Ambrose.This dress was meticulously made by a master craftsman, costing thousands of dollars. Yet, she was reduced to a waitress in Larissa's point of view.This bitch did it on purpose!Garet stepped in to ease the tension and said with a smile, "Mr. Hamilton, let me introduce you to my niece, Miranda Hill. Miranda had a bit of disagreement with your fiancée before, but I hope you don't mind."Ambrose looked at Larissa and asked, "What happened?"Miranda promptly cut in, "It's nothing big, just a small misunderstanding. I happened to see a sofa set that I liked at the mall, and Ms. Larissa liked it, too. "She was very kind to let me have it and even recommended other items to me. I ended up spending more than 30 thousand dollars on the items."Later, I found out that Ms. Larissa actually knew the salesperson. From my bill itself, the salesperson could get a commission of five hundred dolla
Miranda didn't believe her. She sneered, "What can you do?"Larissa blinked innocently and said, "I can bring him joy and make him smile all the time. I can also make sure he's always well-fed!" Ambrose was relieved when he heard her words.He held Larissa's hand and said earnestly, "That's right. Your help is very important to me."Miranda was taken aback by their show of affection. They probably forgot that she was still there.Ambrose and Larissa smiled at each other. They were lost in each other's gaze, oblivious to everything else.After they left the room, Garet slammed the glass he was holding onto the table.Garet initially thought that since Ambrose had agreed to his dinner invite, he would not embarrass him. Yet, Ambrose didn't spare him at all.However, he knew better than to offend Ambrose.He then said to Miranda, "You'd better let go now. Don't go chasing after Ambrose anymore. He won't be interested in you."Also, don't go looking for trouble with his fiancée.
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
