Holly raised her chin to meet his eyes. She was calm and had a firm, stubborn gaze. "Yeah."Because of her mild temper, she remained collected even when retaliating against Bryce.Bryce wanted to snap at her but couldn't bring himself to now. Instead, his lips curved into a smile. "Sure, I'm your cousin."He reached out to pull her into his embrace.That caught Holly off guard, so she stumbled into his chest. She could smell his intoxicating scent mixed with smoke and alcohol. There was also a foreign sweetness, which had to be because of Samantha.Holly's stomach turned as she shimmied her shoulders, trying to escape Bryce's embrace.Yet, Bryce exerted more strength through his arms and locked her in place. He positioned himself domineeringly and spoke to Hayden with a formal, distanced tone. "Thanks for sending her home.""It's not a problem," Hayden replied. Although he appeared friendly, he kept his gaze on Bryce's arm, which rested across Holly's shoulder. He couldn't help

Holly stared blankly at the ceiling as if she hadn't heard anything. Bryce sighed and patted her gently on the shoulder. He turned around and left. When he went out, he told the bodyguard at the door, "Protect Holly. Call me at once if anything happens."The bodyguard nodded. "Alright, Mr. Gabelman." After he got in the car, Tobin reported, "I sent people to check all the security cameras on the way here, and I used our connections in several different fields before I finally found Robyn Harlow. "She was in a black cab and was escaping to the countryside. She was trying to hide."Bryce's eyes were extremely cold. "Where is this person from?" "Robyn is the younger sister of Gerald Harlow. He was the bald one who captured Mrs. Gabelman to get her to restore an old painting. After that, he was investigated and found to be involved in a group of tomb raiders. He was sentenced to seven years. "The security footage shows that for the past few days, Robyn has been dressing up as

Quirina was almost knocked out from the pain. She held her nose instinctively, her mind blank. She had never expected Holly to be so violent. Holly looked so demure and meek. She looked down and saw that her fingers were stained red. She was angry and in pain. With a shrill scream, she lunged toward Holly. Leitia rushed up and grabbed her by the waist to stop her. The bodyguard heard the commotion and entered the room. He pulled Quirina away. Bryce walked in with Tobin, looking grim. His gaze swept over Quirina, and then he looked at Holly. His expression relaxed slightly when he saw that Holly was fine. Quirina clutched at her bleeding nose and complained to Bryce, "Look! This is the woman you think is so good! She looks gentle and demure, but she's ruthless! She threw a cup at me and almost killed me!" Bryce's voice was devoid of emotion as he said, "Holly has always been gentle, quiet, and peaceful. She must have attacked you because you provoked her." He looke

Bryce was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "I'll be back in a while.""Come back now. Hurry up."Bryce hung up.Nina walked over to Holly's bed angrily and sat down. She looked hesitantly at Holly but finally said, "Holly, has Bryce been getting very close to Samantha recently?"Holly assented. Nina sighed. "Holly, you're too nice. You can't win over her. She's always been sly, and she's an absolute bitch. Even I am no match for her at those little games."Holly said distractedly, "Oh, really?""Yes. She's always tried to take Bryce away from me. Our families have dealings in business, and we often had meals together during festive occasions. "She would just stick to Bryce and keep whining at him and making him do things for her. She was so fake, but Bryce acted as if he were bewitched. He would do anything she wanted and indulge her every whim."Holly's heart hurt when she heard this, but there wasn't much emotion on her face.Nina said, "After that, I couldn't stand it

Somervale Village was at the foot of Somervale Mountain, and it was the old home of Winston. Holly had grown up there. All of them traveled a long way, and by the time they reached Somervale Village, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning. Bryce got out and pushed open the gate to the yard, but it didn't budge. Holly was probably asleep, and Bryce didn't want to disturb her. He pulled the car door open, put the seat down, and got in. He closed his eyes to try to take a nap. He had been running around so much that he was exhausted. He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the skies were already bright. Bryce opened the car door and got out. The bodyguard rushed over and said, "Mr. Gabelman, there are people talking in the yard. It sounds like Mrs. Gabelman." Bryce nodded and walked over to the yard. He pushed the gate. This time, it opened. His gaze swept through the yard. It was spacious. Nobody had been living t
