"Mister, are you leaving?" Larissa asked.Ambrose responded with a question. "Would you like to come with me to the Hamilton Estate?"Larissa gave it a thought. "No. Mom and Charmaine are in the hospital. They might need me for help at home."Ethan felt embarrassed. Larissa was such a good daughter. He couldn't understand why he found Charmaine to be better than Larissa in the past.Ambrose stroked Larissa's head. "I'll go now. Call me if there's anything.""Mister, let me see you off."After she saw him off, she returned to the house.Ethan said guiltily, "Larissa, your mother was blinded by greed in the heat of the moment. Please don't resent her for this."Charmaine was simply curious because you're dating someone. That's why she went to Mr. Hamilton's room. Can you forgive them?"Larissa arched her eyebrow while smiling ambiguously. "Dad, I'm not as magnanimous as you think I am."They were planning to steal my fiancé from me. They even hid a miniature camera to secure ev

Larissa was left completely speechless. She gave Zayn a look that read, "What are you doing?"In response, he slyly winked at her. Charmaine, who had noticed their secret interaction, was furious. She believed that the two were exchanging flirtatious glances.Charmaine thought that it was unfair how Larissa always seemed to get in her way. She remembered how Zayn had spoken to her first, but now Larissa was trying to steal his attention. She felt angry and frustrated.She quickly seized the chance to talk to Zayn. "Zayn, is this your first time coming to Ambrollum City? Is it because of an advertisement?"He replied, "Yes, it's for the advertisement. Aside from that, I'm also considering potential investments in Ambrollum City."Starlight Entertainment has been thriving lately, and I'm looking to establish a few branches. Ambrollum City is one of the options we're exploring."Her eyes widened as she grasped the main point. She exclaimed, "You're not just a shareholder in St

Penelope suggested, "I will announce that Zayn is attending the party as your plus-one. We'll make it clear to the media that you're dating him. This way, you'll gain fame even before your debut."Charmaine said excitedly, "Mom, you're a genius! Larissa is already acting up just because she's dating a disabled man. When I start dating Zayn, let's see how she'll act."Although Charmaine was jealous about Larissa dating Ambrose, the thought that he was a disabled man gave her a sense of superiority.Zayn, on the other hand, was a top celebrity, rich, and incredibly handsome. He was also the vice president of Starlight Entertainment, making him a cut above Ambrose in every way.Charmaine had big plans once she started dating Zayn. She intended to ask him to invest in her so that she could become a celebrity. When that happened, she was certain that Larissa would be green with envy.Charmaine hugged Penelope's arm. "Mom, tomorrow is my big day. I want to look absolutely stunning for

"Are you talking back at me? Don't think that you can act up in front of me just because your fiancé is Mr. Hamilton. I'm your mother!" Penelope yelled.Larissa said, "Before you lecture me, why don't you ask your precious daughter what she did?""Enough! Shut up!" Ethan's head hurt from the loud voices.He looked at Charmaine. "Charmaine, tell us what happened."Charmaine bit her lip as if she was the victim. Tears began trickling down her cheeks as she struggled to speak. "Dad, Larissa was trying to kill me!"His expression darkened. "Why?"Actually, he wasn't buying it. Although Larissa had been neglected, she had never crossed the line since they reunited.Not to mention that today was an important day for her—they were going to announce the engagement between Larissa and Ambrose.Even if she were going to kill someone, she wouldn't choose to do it on such a significant day.Charmaine said, "B-Because I tried on her gown out of curiosity. She's mad at me. I didn't do i

Penelope grew anxious upon hearing that. "You can't do that! Charmaine is your biological daughter! How could you say that she was switched at birth?" "I can! I'm the head of the family. Didn't you say that Zayn would come? If he shows up and publicly expresses his wish to pursue Charmaine, I will not say anything about that. Otherwise, I will only acknowledge Larissa as my biological daughter!" With a snort, Ethan continued, "If you still want to continue enjoying your life as a wealthy lady, freshen up your makeup and head to the hotel with me. If you don't, feel free to just stay at home instead."Penelope trembled all over. Given how her silk-stocking life depended on Ethan, she dared not go against him. Hence, she immediately applied a thick layer of powder to her face, concealing her slap mark. …After getting changed, Larissa gracefully descended the stairs, her eyes twinkling. Her light pink gown flawlessly accentuated her fair and delicate complexion.Ethan was very
