Already aware of Nina's identity, Abelin chuckled at her remark. "What did you just call me?"

"Bro?"

"Say it in full."

Unaware of their true relationship, Nina was perplexed. Nonetheless, she complied and called him, "Brother?"

Abeline's face lit up with joy as he stared at Nina's adorable and playful demeanor. He never knew that having a biological sister could feel so amazing.

Nina disregarded his odd reaction and continued, "Anyway, my brother and Holly are very much in love. Could you stop meddling and stay out of their relationship?"

Abelin replied honestly, "I have no intention of meddling or confessing my feelings to Holly. I just wanted to protect her silently. Rest assured, I'll leave as soon as I'm discharged."

"Oh, so you're secretly in love with my sister-in-law?"

"You could say that."

"It must be quite an agony to love someone who doesn't love you back, huh?"

"Not really. You don't feel agony when you're truly in love with someone."

Nina scrutinized Abelin from

    As Bryce stepped into the room, he found Holly standing by the window motionlessly, like a dormant tree. After years of marriage, he could sense her profound sadness even without seeing her face.Approaching her from the back, Bryce gently placed his hands on her slender waist and asked, "What's wrong?"Turning her head, Holly forced a smile on her pale expression. "Abelin left. He hasn't recovered from his injuries yet, but he left anyway." Her tone was filled with concern.Lowering his eyes, Bryce examined her pale face and inquired, "Do you think he left because of me?"Holly shook her head. "No. If you wanted him to leave, you wouldn't have sent someone to rescue him to begin with." Bryce gently gazed at her. "Merope threatened to expose the fire and drunken incident from years ago unless we let you go with them. Maybe Abelin didn't want you caught in this mess, so he left early."Holly offered a faint smile, though a pang of pain gripped her heart. She felt sorry for Abel

    Something seemed fishy. Although Bryce didn't ask who had inquired about the case, he was convinced that Abelin and Sherry were two of them.After meticulously studying the files, Bryce couldn't find any clues, which dampened his spirit. After all, even Abelin, who had worked in the special forces overseas and had a strong investigative skill set, couldn't find anything. How could ordinary police officers stand a chance?After completing all the formalities, Bryce and Holly headed to Winston's house. They went next door to Michelle's house to take a look. After the renovation, they could no longer find any traces of the fire."Do you know who did the renovation?" Bryce asked Holly.Pondering for a moment, Holly answered, "I think Granny Michelle asked my grandfather to do it."Bryce rubbed his temples, believing the clues were lost for good with the renovation.…That night, after dinner, the two sat under the pear tree in the yard. The autumn wind swept through the yard with

    Before Holly could get up from the bed, Bryce stopped her. "Stay here and don't go out." She obediently sat on the bed.When Bryce stepped out of the room, he noticed one of the bodyguards had left to pursue the intruder on the roof. He asked the remaining bodyguard, "What's going on?""Mr. Gabelman, someone seems to be peeking into the yard from the roof just now."Bryce frowned. "How many of them? Did you get a good look at them?""We only saw one. It was a man in black, about six feet tall, with a medium build. His face was covered under a black mask. He was quick in his steps, even on the roof. I think he's here to gather information and might have accomplices."Bryce narrowed his eyes as he pondered. He ruled out burglary, as no one usually lived here. When Winona passed away, he and Holly had stayed here for a couple of days, but they hadn't encountered such a situation.It appeared that their visit to the police station to investigate the fire had attracted someone's a

    Holly gave Annie a disparaging look. "Next time, leave your phone outside the room.""Got it," Annie said as she went out to answer the phone call. When she returned, she brought a man with her.Holly came downstairs and appraised the man. He was tall and wore a black sweater and jeans. His hair was cropped short, and he had what one might consider to be conventionally attractive features. His gaze was feral and dark.Although he was dressed casually, he still looked handsome and put-together. There was a rugged, dangerous, and elusive charm about him.Holly remembered him. He was Annie's biological brother, Tristan.Tristan was carrying a black lockbox in his hands. Inside the black lockbox was a small ornamental tower measuring about 20 inches in height and eight inches in width.The ornamental tower was crafted from sandalwood and gilded, inlaid with quartz, crystals, glass fragments, lapis lazuli, and an assortment of other gemstones.The body of the ornamental tower was a

    Holly placated, "Tristan will be sleeping here tonight. Why don't you stay the night, too?"Bryce wasn't as grouchy anymore after Holly invited him to stay the night, and the scowl on his face waned. Most of the time, Holly wouldn't let him sleep over.He raised a hand and addressed Tristan pleasantly, "I thought you were a decent person when I first met you, Mr. Qualls. I suppose you could stay here for a night since we have all these rooms to spare.""Thanks," Tristan replied impassively, neither smiling nor trying to be gracious. He didn't look like he would get along with anyone.Bryce's eyes darkened at Tristan's dismissive attitude.Bryce was used to having everyone fear or fawn over him. And yet, here was another man even more stoic and withdrawn than him.Annie sensed the tension between the two men and quickly interjected, "Thank you, Mr. Gabelman. We really appreciate this."As such, Tristan slept on the couch in the living room that night, while Bryce and Holly took t

    The security team wasted no time in escorting Samantha out of Bryce's office.Although Samantha kept a straight face and tried to seem unaffected, she was confused. Not to mention, her pride and dignity were shattered.As the security led Samantha down the corridor, they ran into Arthur, who had just come out of the main conference room.When Arthur spied Samantha being escorted out by security, he stopped and asked, "What in the world is going on here?"Samantha halted her steps and pursed her lips. Tears welled up in her eyes as she mumbled dejectedly, "Uncle Arthur, I…"The rest of her words died on her tongue. She couldn't very well admit to Arthur that she had tried to stir up strife between Bryce and Holly.Arthur was worn out enough to know Samantha's intentions for Bryce. He dismissed the security team and said with a sigh, "Samantha, do yourself a favor and forget about Bryce. You know there's no coming back from that incident with Levi."Samantha's eyes were red and

    "I know a bit of Xandorian ancient texts, but I need time to study them.""Alright." Tristan then told Holly that she could only use her phone to take pictures and that she could only take photos of the texts.Holly realized that he was too careful around her.After making sure that the Tower of Vesper was empty, Holly began to restore the hole at the bottom.She put the powder she had collected into a special tool. The tool compressed the powder. Then, she used the Miraculous Glue to glue it back. After that, she refined the surface, ensuring that no one could detect the tampering even with an instrument.Although it seemed easy, it was difficult to implement.The tiny hole took Holly two days to fill.After filling the hole, she needed to refine the gilded surface.When Holly had finished the restoration, the sky was already dark.She handed the Tower of Vesper to Tristan.Tristan took it and inspected it repeatedly. He used the magnifying glass and an instrument to check

    "When did you come in? Why didn't you say anything?" Holly asked with a smile."I've been here for a while." Bryce's slender fingers rubbed against the watch on his wrist.It had been three years since Holly was married to Bryce. She knew he would touch his watch when he felt uneasy.To prevent misunderstandings from happening, Holly told Bryce the truth, "Tristan gave me a tanzanite to express his gratitude. "Since Granny Michelle is ill, I was planning to give the tanzanite to her. It didn't matter whether or not it would work. At least, it could comfort her. We only had a short call."Bryce's expression remained the same. He got up from the couch and walked over to Holly.He lowered his gaze to look at her. His dark eyes were void of emotion.He raised his hand and tucked away Holly's hair on her shoulders. "You don't need to explain everything to me. You just need to say three words."Holly raised her head. "Which three words?"Bryce narrowed his eyes. "The three words I

    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
