No one dared to utter a word, afraid of disturbing Holly's focus.

Seemingly in the blink of an eye, the colors of the painting faded.

Alex looked at Holly inquisitively.

Holly nodded. "All's good. I remember the colors of the clothes, too."

Alex let out the breath he'd been holding. He handed the silk painting over to his assistant and said, "I heard Annie say that your memory was even better than a camera. I didn't believe it before. Now I know that geniuses exist, and they are far better than our predecessors."

Holly smiled. "You can save the praise for after I'm done restoring it."

"I believe you. You restored 'Mountain Home' by Stanley Warner very perfectly."

"Why, thank you very much."

After that, Holly had to begin restoring the painting.

Because she needed peace and quiet, they let her stay in a motel in the city.

The other archaeologists had to either sleep in tents or in the village.

Holly and her group arrived at the motel.

After settling down, she began evaluatin

    Holly immediately grabbed a robe to cover herself. She jumped off the bed and turned on the lights.The bright lights illuminated everyone in the room.Holly's breaths were erratic. She took in the intruder who had assaulted her. It was a thug-like man.He had tan skin, a stocky build, and a genetically unfortunate face.Based on his clothes, he was a local.The man who was pointing a revolver at his head had tan skin and a buzz cut. He looked handsome in a mysterious sort of way. He had on a black coat, and his legs were slim and toned.It was Abelin.Holly hurriedly fastened her nightgown and smoothed out her hair.When she felt more presentable, she said, "Why are you here, Mr. Gabelman?""I was visiting a client of mine."Holly was bewildered. "Here?""Yes. I'm here to collect an ancient artifact," he said gently. Then, he pointed the revolver at the intruder's head and barked, "What's your name?"The intruder's hands shook slightly. Moving his cracked lips, he said wit

    Abelin had gone too hard on the first bodyguard. His face was red and swollen.That wasn't just a slap. That was like a wall of iron crashing into his face.Abelin grabbed Mason's shirt and shoved him out the door. "Get up. We're going to the police station."Abelin wanted to investigate him to see if he had come here on anyone's orders.Going to the police station meant filing a police report. Since Holly was the victim, she had to come along as well.The silk painting in the motel was important. She called someone from the archaeological team, asking them to guard the room.They got into their cars in the middle of the night and drove to the police station in the city.Once they arrived, Abelin dragged Mason to the lobby. He said coldly to the policemen, "Do a background check on him."Mason was a local. With such small villages around, it was common for them to know a few people here and there.At the police station, Mason wasn't so afraid anymore.In fact, he began tellin

    "Speak up! Who are you working for?" Abelin grabbed his neck, his voice thunderous.Blood covered Mason's entire face. It hurt so bad that his features were all twisted in pain.He choked out, "No… No one. I would have surrendered ages ago if I was working for someone. I can't tell you anything even if I die."Mason refused to give in no matter what Abelin did. If this went on, Abelin might just kill him. He ordered the policeman, "Check his phone calls and go through all the people he's been in contact with lately.""Yes, sir. We'll do that at once," the policeman said quickly. Then, he wondered why he was taking orders from this guy. Abelin was from a foreign special task force from a different country. They had nothing to do with each other.However, he dared not speak up.Abelin looked like he was someone influential. He looked like he was from a huge city, and had a powerful background. The policeman couldn't dream of offending him.Abelin looked at the clock on the wal

    Holly still wasn't used to being addressed like that. She said politely, "Thank you so much. You can go back to sleep now. I'm sorry for the trouble.""It's no trouble at all. Get some rest while you can." Then, he left.Holly took her key out, about to open the door. Then, she realized that it was already open.Someone was in the room.A chill went down her spine. She immediately thought of the silk painting and pushed the door open quickly.The moment she did, she was stunned.There were three men in the room. One of them was sitting on the couch against the wall. He was a handsome man with an elegant air. The other two men were his bodyguards.Bryce was here.Holly couldn't believe her eyes. She had called him after dinner. He hadn't mentioned coming here at all. All he did was tell her to catch some rest.She wasn't expecting him to fly all the way here for her.Holly was pleasantly surprised. A multitude of emotions washed over her. All of the tension in her body disappe

    There was a thunderous slap.The bodyguard was slapped once again. He stumbled backward, nearly falling.The other side of his face swelled up. The red fingerprints matched the one on his right.Bryce's face was twisted in fury. He roared, "I told you to protect Holly, and this is how you do it? And, when something happened, you lied to me instead of telling me the truth! Shameless garbage, all of you!"He hadn't lost his temper like that in a very long time. The anger seemed to be seeping through his skin. His presence was terrifying.The entire room was silent. No one even dared to breathe too loudly.When the bodyguard came back to his senses, he immediately began smacking himself on the face.Those smacks were all that could be heard.As he slapped himself, he cried out, "I was wrong, Mr. Gabelman. I shouldn't have gone downstairs to buy those cigarettes. She was taken advantage of in those few minutes that I was gone. I shouldn't have lied because I was afraid of being pun

    "Go to sleep. You need to wake up early today," she said.Bryce lifted her chin and stared into her eyes. "Are you not angry anymore?"Holly responded with a light murmur.How could she not be angry anymore? He'd accused her in front of so many people. He had shredded her pride into pieces.It wasn't just her, either. Bryce had directed those words at Abelin, too.Everyone else could humiliate her, but he was the only one who shouldn't have.He was the one whom she loved most. He was different.Holly turned to leave, but Bryce slid an arm around her waist.He pinched her sides and said sadly, "You still haven't forgiven me."Holly wanted to sleep. Seeing that Bryce didn't want to let go, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the chin. "Fine. I've forgiven you now."Bryce finally let her go.Holly washed her hands, took off her clothes, and went to bed.Bryce went to the washroom to freshen up.When he went on business trips, he stayed in five-star hotels and presidential s

    Holly's heart seemed to have softened a little.Bryce had come here all the way from the city just to see her because he was worried about her.The anger she felt from being misunderstood dissipated greatly.She leaned against him and said softly, "When he came in and tore at my clothes, I was so disgusted. All I thought was that if he raped me, I would kill him, then kill myself."Bryce's heart felt hollowed out. Then, it ached in anger. It felt like it was being ripped apart by a monster. It hurt so badly that it took him a while to regain his senses.He held Holly tightly, pressing her close to him. "Don't say such silly things."They'd been married for three years. He didn't want to hear things like this.Holly was quiet for a while. "Thank God that Abe…"She cut herself off. She wanted to say it was a good thing that Abelin had come here in the nick of time. However, she remembered that Bryce didn't like her being too friendly with Abelin. That was why she trailed off.Sh

    When Holly accompanied Bryce to the car, she bumped into Annie downstairs.Annie had been unable to sleep last night. She'd taken two sleeping pills to knock herself out, and she'd had a deep sleep.She had no idea about what had happened to Holly last night.When she saw Bryce, she greeted him warmly, "Hello, handsome. Why are you here, too?"Bryce looked at her coldly, his eyes like sharp knives.His face was as dark as a storm during winter.He walked away, saying nothing. His presence was terrifying.He thought it was all Annie's fault that Holly was here. On top of that, Annie neglected to care for her properly. She didn't even show up last night when something terrible happened to Holly.Annie was treated coldly in response to her warm greeting. She was bewildered.She pulled Holly aside and asked, "What's wrong with him? He looked like he was about to murder me."Holly was in a hurry to send Bryce off. She brushed it off. "He's just like that. You'll get used to it."

    Sitting by Bryce's bed, Holly softly held his slender fingers as if such a move would keep him safe.She must have been exhausted or emotionally spent, as she soon fell asleep by the bed. She then suffered a nightmare, in which Bryce stood in front of her, covered in blood from head to toe. Forcing a smile, he said to her, "Holly, I can't stay by your side anymore. You need to take care of yourself and be strong."After that, he turned into wisps of smoke and vanished right in front of her eyes. She frantically reached out to hold him, but she was clawing at the air.She waved her hands madly to take hold of him and run after him. Her voice was hoarse from all the yelling. "Bryce! Bryce Gabelman!"Her shouting was futile. Jolting awake, she gasped for air. Her forehead was drenched in sweat, and her eyes were wet from crying.She noticed that she was lying in the caregiver's bed. Someone—perhaps Bryce—had carried her to the bed.Bryce managed to get out of bed and lay by her

    "You're injured. Don't stay on the floor—it's cold. Get up now!" Holly cautiously pulled Bryce up from the ground.He was speechless at her response. Any other woman would have happily accepted the ring and put it on.Perhaps, the woman he loved was different from the others.Going on one knee, Bryce refused to get up. He tenderly stared at Holly. "I'll get up after you agree to remarry me.""Get up now, and I'll agree to it."Defeated, he stood up, held her hand, and tried to put the ring on her finger when he was overwhelmed by a wave of dizziness. He lost his balance and collapsed forward onto her.Holly quickly held him and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"Bryce's lips parted. He wanted to reassure her that he was fine, but he couldn't utter a word. Soon after, his fingers that grasped the ring went numb. The large diamond ring dropped to the ground, spinning and clattering until it came to a stop.Panicking, Holly patted his cheek. "What's going on?"However, Bryce didn't

    Looking at the man in Holly's embrace, Abelin turned his attention back to his phone. He asked inquisitively, "Who are you?"The person on the other end of the line was filled with anger. "I'm Bryce. I called her phone, but it was switched off."Abelin replied honestly, "She lost her phone.""Where is she right now?" Bryce questioned indifferently.After Abelin told him the villa's address, Bryce hung up.Abelin once again glanced at his phone before looking toward the dazed-looking Holly. "Holly, I think this man might not be Bryce."Holly shook her head. "You don't need to comfort me.""I just got a call from Bryce. He's on his way here."Holly thought he was lying and refused to believe him. When Abelin wanted to pull her away from the corpse, Holly got triggered and pushed him away. "Don't touch him! He'll be in pain!"Seeing Holly in such a dazed and abnormal state, Abelin felt a sense of pity for her.A tall figure emerged from the door about 45 minutes later. He was we

    Abelin wanted to follow through with the protocol, but Holly refused.Realizing they weren't locals, the police decided to let them be. Thus, Abelin sent Holly and the corpse back to a villa their family seldom stayed in.Upon arriving at the villa, Holly did nothing but hold onto the bloodied man dazedly. Her heart felt heavy and chaotic. She was filled with regret and self-blame.Did she regret breaking up with him? The answer was no. Instead, she regretted not being firm enough with her decision. If she had been more resolute and didn't give him any hope of reconciling, he wouldn't have flown to Calria to find her. Correspondingly, he wouldn't have gotten into a car accident and died.Death was such a dreadful word. Bryce was gone, forever disappearing from this world. Holly would never hear his voice or see his smile and face. It was all gone.She would never see him again. She would rather he had lived, no matter who he ended up with in the future. She just wanted him to

    The driver pressed the pedal, made a U-turn, and accelerated. When Holly arrived at the address Tobin sent, she saw two deformed cars at the crash scene. However, she didn't find anyone there.Holly's heart skipped a beat. She could only call Tobin repeatedly. However, the call didn't go through.Bryce and the others didn't own a car, only renting one after they got off the plane. Thus, Holly didn't know which car belonged to them.The driver continued driving a bit further until they came upon a collision between a car and a truck. The car's front end was completely obliterated. The driver was cut in half at the waist, and the person in the back seat was so badly mangled that his face was unrecognizable.A loud roar echoed in Holly's mind as it went blank. Her gaze fell on the man's blood-soaked suit. This was the deep-colored suit that Bryce always wore. The man had long legs. The wrist that was hanging out of the car wore a Patek Philippe Celestial watch.Holly remembered the

    The moment Bryce reached Calria and got off the plane, he received a call from an unknown number. He took the call with furrowed eyebrows. "Hello. Who are you?"Zenia fumed. "I'm Zenia. Holly and Abelin's wedding is today. Your woman snatched away the man I loved!" She hung up the call after that.Bryce didn't believe her. He tapped into his messages, and several wedding photos came into view. Although the images were not high resolution, one could at least make out the newlywed's features.The groom wearing a suit had striking facial features, and Bryce recognized him as Abelin. Meanwhile, the woman was dressed in a fitted floor-length gown and wore a white veil. Under the thin veil, Bryce could make out her defined features. The woman was none other than Holly.Bryce felt like he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank, and the hand holding the phone turned cold.He could feel his heart sinking and his blood going cold. Instantly, he felt he got toyed and betrayed

    Michelle was gravely ill, with her vision and hearing failing. Thus, they should be able to deceive her.While Abelin let out a sigh of relief, Merope threw daggers at him. She couldn't believe he was stupid enough to let go of such a good opportunity. She wondered why someone as smart as her would have such a dumb son.As it was almost time for the wedding ceremony, Merope wheeled the sickly Michelle out. Michelle's complexion seemed better than a few days back, perhaps due to the joyful event or the effects of terminal lucidity. Her dull eyes were shining when she saw Abelin and the fake bride on the red carpet.Michelle pursed her lips and asked Merope, "Is he really getting married to Holly?"Merope replied unwillingly, "Yes.""Bring me over to have a look," Michelle ordered. When Merope wheeled her over to the fake bride, Michelle took her reading glasses from her pocket with trembling hands.Abelin held his breath as Michelle eyed the fake bride up and down. He was fear

    Merope pleaded earnestly, "Abel, your grandmother is on her last breath. Please try to fulfill her last wish for her."Abelin didn't seem to reject this plan as much as before. "Wedding arrangements are already in place, and I've notified a couple of cousins. I'll try to make the entire wedding as genuine as possible."Merope was overjoyed. "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Is Holly the bride?""No. I found a woman who looks quite similar to her. Grandma is old and has blurry eyesight. I doubt she'll recognize her."Merope rebuked, "Your grandma isn't blind!""Well, that's all." Abelin then hung up the call.…Three days later, many relatives gathered at the Gabelman residence. The brightly decorated courtyard was filled with people. Abelin hired a professional wedding team in advance, making sure the officiant, red carpet, circular arch, fresh flowers, and bridal bouquet were all in place. A professional violin team was also playing the wedding march.Although it was a

    Abelin called Priscilla's bodyguards, and they arrived at the Calria police station together.The bodies were stored in the morgue. Since they weren't Calrians, the police couldn't find any information on them or confirm their identities.However, they were sure that the two bodies had something to do with Priscilla because one of the bodyguards left a long scratch mark on one of the culprit's arms. At that moment, the mark was rotten due to being submerged in the water. The skin was peeling, and it was a horrifying sight.Clearly, the person behind the culprits was worried they might get caught and expose their employer's identity. So, someone was sent to silence them right away. It was easy for someone like them to kill a person.After giving a statement, the police told Abelin that they were going to do an autopsy on the bodies. Once they had news, they would call him again.After coming out of the police station, Abelin got into his car and called Bryce. "The two guys who hu
