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

    Holly was about to be covered in cold sweat. "Mr. Gabelman is a great man, but I already have someone I love.""Who's that?""My ex-husband."Zorro was quite disappointed, but he wasn't about to give up. "After you two have completely cut ties, you must consider Abelin."Holly couldn't help comparing him with Arthur. The more she thought about it, the more she disliked Arthur. Things would've been so much better if Zorro were Bryce's father instead.…It was already dark outside by the time they came out of the collection room. Zorro passionately asked Holly to stay for dinner. There was a feast prepared, but they were the only ones eating that night.Abelin was in their home country, and Heidi was on a business trip. Meanwhile, Merope was upstairs, but she didn't come down. He didn't ask anyone to call her as well.While they were eating, he kept grabbing more food for Holly. Although he was usually calm, he became extremely passionate when entertaining her.The housekeeper

    "Instead of keeping the pain to yourself, why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you find a solution as well." Zorro leaned over and looked into Merope's eyes with an encouraging gaze as he held her hands.Her eyes shook, and she felt touched for a moment. She wanted to get her revenge on Arthur so badly that she would even dream about killing him. She opened her mouth, but her words were stuck in her throat. She couldn't say anything.She would've her revenge if she killed Arthur. However, his sons would never let her go. She didn't mind since she was tired of living. But she had to think about Abelin. The revenge would never stop with her, and she didn't want to risk Abelin's life.Merope forced out a smile. "No, thanks." Zorro was slightly disappointed. He gently sighed and patted her shoulder. "After all these years, you still don't see me as your family." She looked a little guilty. "You're Abelin's only father. And he'll always be your son.""Abelin is a good

    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
