Bryce was the one who fired the earlier shots. He arrived in the nick of time.

Holly thought she was dreaming, but she could see that it was indeed Bryce's familiar face in front of her.

She ran toward him without much thought and threw herself onto him. Grabbing onto his sleeves, she looked up tearfully with a hint of surprise. "How did you get here?"

Holly went from being traumatized to being surprised in a short span of time. Such contrasting emotions crashed over her, causing her to forget about everything for a moment. She even forgot that she was still holding a gun.

It was dangerous for someone who didn't know how to handle a gun to carry one. One wrong move would accidentally trigger it.

Bryce calmly took the gun away from Holly and secured the safety switch.

He said, "I'm temporarily transferring to the company's branch in Newmorrow. I'll only transfer back to Jardington once you're done restoring the paintings."

Holly was stunned. "Are you joking?"

Bryce replied, "I'm

    Holly tried to stop the bleeding on Bryce's arm. However, the blood still gushed out of the wound nonstop. She grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe the blood off. Her heart was broken. Holly yelled at Simon, "Drive faster!""Yes, Mrs. Gabelman!" Simon was obedient. After hearing what she said, he stomped on the gas, and the car picked up its speed rapidly. He drove so fast that it felt like the car was lifting off the ground.Then, Holly said, "Not that fast. Drive carefully." Simon was put in a spot, at a loss for whether to drive fast or slow.Seeing how anxious Holly was, Bryce's worries faded slightly. She still cared about him, it seemed. He touched her pale face with his uninjured hand. "Don't worry. I'm not severely wounded. I'll be fine after we get the bleeding to stop and the wound is stitched at the hospital."There was no way Holly wouldn't be worried. In fact, she was so anxious that it felt suffocating. She was like an ant on a hot pan, clueless.Not knowing how

    Upon reaching the hospital, Bryce was rushed to the emergency room. Holly stood outside the room and anxiously waited. Fortunately, his bones weren't harmed since the bullet just grazed his arm. After half an hour, he came out after getting his arm stitched.After monitoring for a while, Holly accompanied Bryce back into his ward. She supported him as he lay on the bed. Then, she got him a glass of water with a straw. After that, she gently fed him his medicine.After a while, a nurse came in and attached Bryce to a pack of IV fluid. The transparent fluid slowly dripped into his body. Holly looked at his pale face, and it seemed like she had a lot on her mind. "You seem to be unlucky this year. You've been hurt so many times."Bryce smirked and thought it was ridiculous. "Indeed. You're my lucky charm. I'll be safe when you're around. But when you're gone, I'll get hurt.""Nonsense. We're together this year as well, but you still got hurt.""That was because you wanted a divor

    After Tobin left, he went to wash himself up in the bathroom. Upon opening the door, he noticed that Holly had already helped him prepare everything he needed to brush his teeth.Looking at the toothpaste on the toothbrush, he felt a bliss that he hadn't felt in a long while. Other than the fact that she didn't love him anymore, everything else about her at that moment was great. So, he decided to accept that he was a substitute.Since his arm was hurt, he couldn't take a shower. He simply washed himself up and returned to the bed. After lying down, he turned his head and looked at Holly. "So, are we together again?" She was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.He raised his hand and caressed her head. "I'm not putting you in a spot or forcing you. I'm not even going to make you come back to me. However, you have to promise me that you won't like someone else." Holly thought it was amusing. "You're so domineering.""That's how I've always been."Holly wasn't in the

    Bryce came out of the bathroom. He had just shaved his beard, and there was a faint fragrance from his shaving cream. Seeing that it was Arthur at the door, his face fell slightly. Then, he asked with a deadpan face, "Why are you here?""I heard you were hurt. Since I had a meeting in Newmorrow, I decided to drop by." Arthur scanned Bryce and said, "Are you hurt badly?" Bryce calmly said, "Obviously, I'm not dead." Arthur was speechless for a second. "I heard a robber did this. The robbers in Calria sure are outrageous.""That's not it. Someone took advantage of the situation to hurt me."Arthur was stunned in surprise. "Do you know who did it?" Bryce smirked and looked at Arthur with a meaningful gaze. "If it's a rival company, then it's probably one of the enemies you've made in the past. Otherwise, it could be your dearest elder son."Arthur's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Don't overthink it. It can't possibly be Levi. He's your brother."Bryce said calmly yet firmly, "Th

    Though the man didn't dress extravagantly, his imposing manner shouldn't be underestimated. He was Zorro.She greeted with a smile, "Mr. Gabelman Senior, why are you at the hospital as well?" Zorro pointed at the examination room next to them with his chin. "I'm here to get my body examined. When I saw you getting bullied, I decided to come to your rescue."Holly thought he was a great man. They had only met once. However, he had taken the initiative to help her when she was being put in a spot by Arthur.Arthur looked at Zorro for a few seconds and suddenly smiled brightly. "Oh, I believe there's a huge misunderstanding. We're all family here. Technically, you're like a cousin to me."Zorro slowly shot him a glance. "Don't say that. You're no cousin of mine. How could you bully a young woman like her at your age?" Arthur was stunned for a second before he said with a smile, "I wasn't bullying her. I was just negotiating with her.""I've heard everything. You just want her t

    The doors to the examination room opened, and Bryce walked out. He buttoned his shirt with one hand, and there was no emotion on his dashing face.Holly took a close look at him and didn't notice anything wrong with him. She figured he hadn't heard their conversation earlier and secretly let out a breath of relief. The only thing she was afraid of was him getting angry for no reason.Compared to quarreling, it would be more torturous for Bryce to give her the cold shoulder.She grabbed the flask from the bodyguard and poured a glass of water before handing it to Bryce. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" He took the drink and calmly said, "I'm fine. It's just a simple electrocardiogram."Holly frowned. "Was the doctor who examined you a woman or a man?" Bryce was stunned for a while before he chuckled. Then, he gently rubbed her nose and said with a doting tone, "When did you become so petty? It was a woman at first, but I asked for a male doctor instead."She was satisfie

    "She sold you for a billion dollars. How could you act like this for a woman who only cares about money?" Arthur's eyes were so full of disdain that he couldn't hide it at all.Bryce smirked subtly. "She really isn't like you described. If you continue to slander her, don't blame me for making things ugly." He sounded calm, and there wasn't any noticeable emotion on his face. However, he was intimidating.It made Arthur feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to punch Bryce. However, he endured it. He had never laid a finger on him. He was worried he would lose him if things had really gotten ugly between them."This is ridiculous!" he yelled after holding it in for a long time. Then, he stormed out the door and slammed it shut.Meanwhile, Holly had just returned with the mints that Bryce had asked her to buy. Upon reaching the ward, she saw Arthur leaving angrily, looking extremely upset. When she entered the room, she asked Bryce, "Did you two have a fight?"Bryce didn't answ

    Even the lid of the kettle came off when it fell. Fortunately, it was made of stainless steel, so it didn't break. Zorro glanced at the kettle on the ground before looking up at Merope. He looked slightly upset with his cold gaze. "Are you that excited after hearing his name?"She felt embarrassed and tried her best to hide her anxiousness. "No, I'm not excited. I was just surprised.""I thought you had long forgotten about it," Zorro teased a little. "I did. If you hadn't mentioned him, I wouldn't have remembered him at all." Merope pretended to be calm as she spoke. Then, she picked up the kettle and walked to the water dispenser with a deep frown.She tensed up and was immediately filled with hatred. She felt fragile.After so many years, she still couldn't help panicking when she suddenly heard Arthur's name. No, it wasn't panic. It was hatred. She hated him. She hated Arthur Gabelman. He was the one who ruined her life!She placed the kettle under the water dispense

    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
