Holly didn't say a word. She was feeling a lot of emotions. Nonetheless, she quickly let it all go.

Bryce had always been a logical man. He would never risk his health just for her.

Hunter also felt guilty. So, he said, "Holly, why don't you go home?"

Holly shook her head and replied, "I can see him whenever I want. However, we can't afford any delays here. The paintings have to be dealt with the second the chamber doors open. The longer we delay, the more challenging my task will become."

Hunter could only smile apologetically. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"This is nothing. Besides, I'm only doing my duty."

Nina felt her heart clench after hearing Holly's answer.

To Holly, those paintings held more importance than Bryce's.

Nina whisked out her phone, went to a secluded corner, and discreetly texted Bryce, "Bryce, you're done for. Your position in Holly's heart has fallen super low!"

Bryce texted back almost instantly, "I'll come over right now."

Nina hastily typed, "

    Holly didn't have time to react as she felt herself getting tugged into an embrace.His arm felt like a metal band against her waist, gripping her tightly.Holly knew that was Abelin's arm.He had a refreshing scent of soap about him. It was quite nice.Holly kept falling and falling. Her legs found no purchase anywhere as gravity dragged her down.She could hear the wind whistling against her ears and people screaming.The screaming was cut off abruptly—not even an echo could be heard.Time traveled strangely as they fell. It seemed as though mere seconds or decades had passed by the time she stopped falling.Abelin had cushioned her fall. When they came to a stop, she could hear him inhaling sharply.The only thing that greeted them was a void of inky darkness. She had no clue where their flashlights had gone.Holly's voice had a slight tremor as she questioned in worry, "Mr. Gabelman, are you alright?"Abelin replied calmly, "I'm fine. Don't move. There might be some trap

    Holly felt rather dejected after her several failed attempts.So, she sat on the ground, sulking.Waiting like a damsel in distress was torturous.The long, aimless wait only made it worse.This time, she couldn't help but feel relieved that Nina had tagged along. Nina would definitely call the rescue team if they didn't come out after a long time.Right now, Nina was their only hope. Holly was right on the money.Nina and her bodyguards waited outside for ages. It was evening by the time they arrived at Mt. Phoenix. So, she bravely waited at this deserted mountain for the whole night. Yet, not even a single soul left the secret chamber.A bad premonition settled over her heart.Still, she didn't dare to go into the chamber. So, she craned her neck and yelled into the entrance, "Holly, are you there? Holly, answer me if you can hear me!"Sadly, no one replied even after she screamed until her voice became hoarse.The secret chamber looked empty. There wasn't a single pe

    Several outdoor flashlights shone in the dark, turning the ground white with their beams.Bryce had his back straight as he strode forward, taking point to venture deeper into the secret chamber.They didn't dare to approach the area after learning that the earlier expedition team hadn't returned from their trip. So, they stood by the entrance, not moving a muscle.Yet, they felt themselves getting encouraged after seeing Bryce being so brave. So, they wasted no time following him.Desmond was pushed forward in his wheelchair, and he descended to the secret chamber with them.He looked at the footprints closely and reminded Bryce, "Mr. Gabelman, please stop once the trail is gone.""Yes, Mr. Quall." Bryce held the flashlight and pointed it to the ground.Loose soil littered the ground. So, it was easy enough to follow the footprints.There were prints of various sizes. The smaller ones had to be Holly's.Some of the footprints were muddied. There was no doubt that the team had

    Upon hearing what Bryce said earlier, Desmond secretly breathed a sigh of relief.This matter was considered settled.Tristan also nodded slightly toward Bryce and expressed his gratitude.Everyone did the same thing as before. They pried open the plank next to them.This time, it was several bodyguards who were rescued.When the third massive plank was pried open, Holly stood up in the pit all of a sudden. She stared at the loosening plank and said to Abelin, "Mr. Gabelman, someone is here to rescue us!"Abelin was a bit disappointed, yet he smiled and said, "Yes. We can finally go up now."The "we" sounded friendly to him. It was as if they became close to one another again.Even if it was just one-sided thinking, he was fine with it.Soon, a ray of light pierced through the pitch-black pit.Having already adjusted to the darkness, the brightness stung Holly's eyes a bit.She closed her eyes slightly.When she opened them again, she saw a rope ladder being lowered down.

    Abelin looked at Holly silently as he walked toward the exit, his right leg slightly limping.His figure looked lonely from behind.Bryce was looking at him. He noticed something was off with his leg, and his expression changed slightly.He turned and instructed the bodyguards behind him, "Hurry and support Mr. Gabelman."The bodyguards obeyed and hurriedly walked to Abelin's side to support him.It was odd for Holly to see Bryce acting so generously that she cast a dubious look at him.Bryce would usually be so furious that he didn't even want to hear Abelin's name whenever he saw her and Abelin talking for a short while.Supposedly, he should be angry since she and Abelin fell into the same pit. Both of them stayed in the pit for a night and spent most of the day together.This time, not only did he not get angry, but he was also very caring toward Abelin.Holly felt something wasn't right with Bryce today.Bryce looked calm as he stroked her hair. Then he said lovingly, "L

    Nina was holding her lunch box as she watched the spicy and flavorful crawfish in front of Holly, making her salivate. She was cursing Bryce in her heart for prioritizing Holly over her.Not only did she travel for a long journey and obediently make way for him, but she also helped him to clear away obstacles and eliminate his rivals.She was so afraid of ghosts, yet she managed to stay by the tomb all night long.In the end, he didn't even prepare anything nice for her to eat. All she got was just a lunch box.Although there were two meats and three vegetable dishes with a drumstick, it was still a lunch box.She never had a lunch box in her entire life.Holly hurriedly gave half of her portion to Nina and another half to Annie.She even wanted to give some to Abelin as well. However, out of her reservations, she only glanced at him from afar.Bryce saw this and wasn't pleased by it.He was even more sad at the thought of Holly and Abelin being alone together in a secluded sp

    Soon, Holly suppressed her urge to laugh and said softly, "I was very sad that night. I passed by a bar and went in to order an Apricot Blossom. Little did I know that it wasn't tea, but a cocktail instead! And a strong one, at that. "I passed out after drinking the whole glass. If I had the slightest hint of consciousness left in me, I would've avoided doing something that might give others the wrong idea."Bryce pursed his lips slightly.After he calmed down, he believed what Holly told him. But he didn't trust Abelin.He was a man himself, so he understood other men's thoughts very well.If any guy were to see the woman he liked lying unconscious in front of him, he would be tempted to caress or kiss her.He pinched the area between his eyebrows and smiled a little as he said, "Let's not talk about this anymore and forget about it.""About your father…""I threw the photo at his face and made it clear to him. He will be mindful of his actions in the future."Holly felt tha

    The chemicals slowly began reacting with each other, making a soft hissing sound.Holly repeated her actions, brushing the solution over the wall.An hour later, the solution eroded a gaping hole in the wall.She marveled at the wisdom of their ancestors. This was a really strong wall.Desmond stared at the hole and said to everyone, "Stand back. We will be lighting the explosive next."Everyone stepped back hurriedly, moving to the outside of the secret chamber.Only Tristan and an old, wrinkly man stayed there.The old man was probably the explosives expert that Desmond was talking about.He took out an explosive from a large black bag by his feet, putting it in the hole. He gave Tristan a few instructions.Holly and the others waited at the top of the secret chamber.They were all anxious, especially Annie. She asked Desmond, "He'll be alright, won't he?"Desmond sat in his wheelchair, stroking his chin. He said lightly, "It's not his first time doing this. The old man's

    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
