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
"That's it! A betrothal gift of two million dollars! Send it to my bank account!" "Mom, I'm still in school. How can you ask me to get married?" Larissa Solace's voice was filled with incredulity. Penelope Hayes rolled her eyes. "Let's set it in advance first. You'll only claim the certificate two years later. If you get married at a young age, we can still get two million dollars. That's equivalent to a house!"To Penelope, Larissa was only worth a house. "Charmaine is the same age as me. Why don't you ask her to get married?" Larissa asked angrily. Penelope sneered. "How can you compare yourself with Charmaine? Be it looks or grades, she is way better than you. I've raised her carefully, and her future is bright!" "But I'm your biological daughter, not Charmaine!" Larissa shouted. 18 years ago, the hospital had mistakenly switched two babies.As a result, Larissa ended up in an orphanage. It wasn't until a year ago that she was sent back to her birth family thanks to a
"Mister, can we not publicize the news of our marriage? I'm still a student. I don't want those in my school to gossip about it.""Okay," Ambrose agreed."Thanks, Mister. You're so kind!"Ambrose gave her a card. "The password is your birthday."Larissa was stunned. "How did you know my birthday?"A smile crept up to his lips. He thought she was a materialistic person, but it turned out that she was naïve. As the former heir of the Hamilton family, he had basked in the family's glory and reputation. However, his legs were crippled because of an accident, and he was forced to live in seclusion in Ambrollum City. Since Larissa was his wife, he, of course, would have had to learn about her background in advance.Ambrose held her hand. "You're my wife from now on. I'll give you everything you want."…Ambrose sent someone to take Larissa back to the Solace residence. Larissa got out of the car in a daze while carrying a heavy briefcase. She wondered if getting married to Ambr
"Don't worry. I'll pay the tuition fees myself and won't ask for a single penny from you." Larissa put down her bowl and walked away after she finished eating."Look at her attitude! If only she has half of Charmaine's good manners!"In the eyes of their parents, Charmaine was a treasure, while Larissa was nothing more than a weed that could be easily trampled upon.…The next day, Larissa went to the location given by Ambrose. To her surprise, it was Hamilton Group's building. It really was Hamilton Group! She wondered if Ambrose shared a connection to the family behind the company.Just as Larissa was about to enter, she heard a surprised voice. "Larissa, why are you here?"When Larissa turned around, she saw Charmaine get out of a red sports car. Standing beside her was Lukas. Lukas' eyes lit up. "Charmaine, who is this beauty?"Clenching her teeth, Charmaine replied, "This is my sister, Larissa."Lukas fixed his hair and said, "Ms. Larissa, nice to meet you. I'm Luka
When Natasha raised her head in satisfaction, she happened to hear Larissa asking if she could fire those who had bullied her. She held her stomach and burst into laughter."Larissa, your acting is quite good. I never thought that you could be so funny! This is simply hilarious!"The security guards laughed as well and shook their heads. They found it amusing how young women these days aspired to great heights, unaware that their destinies might not allow them to realize those dreams.Right then, the elevator doors opened. Ambrose's assistant, Owen Clark, rushed out in a cold sweat. Natasha was stunned. "Mr. Clark?"However, Owen didn't even spare her a glance and hurriedly ran over to Larissa. "Mrs.—"Larissa secretly turned her head from side to side. Owen immediately corrected himself and said, "Ms. Solace, welcome to Hamilton Group! I'm sorry to have caused you inconvenience!"At the sight of that, Natasha was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head.W
"Mr. Clark!" Lukas' eyes brightened as if he had grasped a lifeline. He rushed to the assistant and fell to his knees. "Mr. Clark, please don't terminate the cooperation. We've been cooperating well all these years, haven't we?""Not just Hamilton Group, but all its subsidiary companies will no longer have cooperation with the Millers. You can leave now," Owen replied without having any expression on his face."But why? You'll have to let me know the reason, at least!"Owen sneered. "Because you smell of garbage!" Lukas was stunned. That line of words sounded inexplicably familiar to him. All of a sudden, several security guards rushed over, unceremoniously emptied multiple large bins of garbage onto Lukas. There were breakfast leftovers and used tissues which were stained with snot. Even a sanitary pad stained with blood was stuck onto his hair. Lukas couldn't take the foul odor and retched. Covering his nose with a handkerchief, Owen said disdainfully, "Take him away! He
Intending to add fuel to the fire, Charmaine said, "Although Larissa is a cleaner, she's working for Hamilton Group! Dad, Mom, don't you need to establish a connection with Hamilton Group? "When Larissa goes to work, she'll see the higher-ups from different departments. Then, she can convey our family's wish to collaborate with them. It's better than nothing!"Larissa looked at Charmaine with a faint smile. Charmaine's idea was foolish.The reason Charmaine suggested this was to embarrass Larissa.Larissa's actions would infuriate the higher-ups of Hamilton Group. She would lose her job and be thrown out of the building by the security guards!Charmaine had been embarrassed by being kicked out by the security guards. Thus, she wanted Larissa to suffer too!Ethan frowned and said, "Well, I guess this plan might work. After all, it's our last resort. You should give it a try tomorrow, Larissa!" Penelope chimed in, "You're right. Larissa, you should try to see if it works. If y
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 bun
