"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
Holly wasn't that gullible. "Tell me the truth.""I wasn't able to bring you out for some fun when my legs were hurt back then. After I recovered, I returned to the company and worked nonstop every day to find my ground. I don't have the opportunity to bring you out at all. "I'll do my best to make time in the future and take you out for a spin."She had a bad feeling. "Are you going to lose your job soon?""Maybe."Holly figured out what was going on. She was certain that Bryce had a fallout with Arthur because of her, and she felt extremely guilty. "You…"Bryce knew what she was going to say, and he casually said, "So what if we had a fallout? Even if I get kicked out of the company, I'm not going to starve to death. "I didn't leave previously because everything my grandparents had was still in the company. It wouldn't be fair if I had left just like that."Mom kept delaying their divorce because of my grandparents as well. She didn't want to let others take everything that
Holly found it ridiculous. "Back at the hospital, I said that to Zorro because I was angry. Don't take it to heart."Bryce's pursed his thin lips slightly. He didn't really care about that. Instead, he was worried she would find out Abelin was Abel. That would be a fatal blow.Holly would even yell for Abel in her dreams. Meanwhile, Abelin would keep his eyes on her and grab any opportunity to get close to her. Sometimes, Bryce felt like he was the third wheel.He had previously thought about letting go. But whenever he was about to do it, he would realize that he couldn't bear to let go at all. It would hurt too much. Three years of relationship might not seem long, but it was enough to bind two people together. Since he couldn't let go, he had to endure it.Compared to Abelin, he was way happier. At least he had the love of his life in his arms, so it wouldn't hurt to stick around.Bryce calmed himself down and turned around, pulling Holly into his embrace. Then, he looked at
"Then, thank you.""I should reach you in around 40 minutes. Come down and pick it up by then."Holly looked at her watch. "Sure. Thanks again." Then, she ordered some room service for Bryce and herself. After they finished their meal peacefully, she helped him change his bandage. His wounds weren't swollen anymore, but they were still hurting.His flesh seemed to be in a mess around the wounds. Holly felt heartbroken when she saw them, and she gave Bryce a hug.After their meal, the hotel staff came and took the dishes away. Then, Holly's phone rang. It was Zenia. After the call was connected, Zenia said, "Ms. Sinclair, I'm at the lobby now. Please come and pick up the package.""Alright. Please hold on. I'll head there right now." Holly grabbed her clothes and wanted to get changed when Bryce took her phone. "I'll get it.""It's just someone that Abelin has sent to deliver the cream.""I trust Abelin, but I can't say the same for others. We should stay cautious." He pa
Abelin went silent for an instant before saying, "You're like a sister to me." Zenia pouted and felt upset. "My aunt is your dad's ex-wife. Your mom is just his second wife, so we aren't related by blood anyway!"He told her the truth, "I have no romantic feelings for you.""Feelings can grow. Just give it a chance. We can find a spark eventually."Abelin frowned. "I need to get back to my work. I'm hanging up now.""Hey, what…" Zenia's face reddened in frustration when he heard the disconnect tone.Then, she mumbled, "He always does this and never indulges me. He would rather like a married woman than like me. How frustrating!" After that, she called Merope. "Aunt Merope, I visited Holly, but I only saw her husband instead. Wait, that's not it. He's her ex-husband.""Did her ex-husband say anything?""He didn't say much, but he was as dashing as Abe."Merope wasn't interested at all. She answered with a hum and quickly ended the call.…Meanwhile, Bryce returned to the
Bryce grabbed Holly's wrist and teased, "I love it more when you spoil me." Holly leaned over and got closer to his lips, softly biting them. Then, she asked with a gentle gaze, "Like this?" He looked down and hinted at her. She understood it immediately. "Don't even think about it."She turned her head, her ears turning red. However, she secretly found it amusing, thinking about how Bryce was trying to take advantage of the situation when she treated him nicely."Are you unwilling to do it?" he said with an alluring voice. Some people could make another person burn with desire by saying such a simple sentence. Holly had her back facing him as her cheeks started blushing feverishly. "Can you be decent in the morning?""In that case, let me spoil you."She tried to leave, but he grabbed her. Bryce bit her lips and habitually played with her tongue. Then, he pinned her to the wall and kissed her until she felt breathless. Between gasps, he softly asked, "Do you feel great
Holly followed Zorro to his collection room. Since antiques were more fragile, they required the right room temperature and humidity. That was why his collection room was kept in perfect condition for them.The size of his collection was amazing. There were the usual calligraphies, paintings, and glassware. Then, there were also bronzeware, ironware, goldware, silverware, golden coins, enamelware, colored statues, and more.He took out "Child's Arrival". Holly didn't know where he got it from, but it looked ancient. There was a lot of damage, and it needed a lot of restoration. An average restorer wouldn't be able to restore it.She finally realized he didn't need her to check its authenticity. Instead, he needed her help to restore it. Holly grabbed the painting and studied it closely. Judging by the art style, she was sure it was painted by Denzel.He was great at painting long lines. Every line he painted looked beautiful. Not only did it embody every great design concept befo
