Bryce felt uncomfortable as he was left hanging.He quickly put on his bathrobe and walked over to the bathroom. He knocked on the door, saying patiently, "Open the door, Holly."Holly stood inside with her back against the door. She asked emotionlessly, "How do you feel?"Bryce looked down helplessly while replying, "What do you think?"Holly asked again, "Can you keep this feeling in mind now?"Bryce raised his brows and asked, "What do you mean?"Holly replied, "You left me hanging outside the bathroom just like this two nights ago. I kissed you after we got in bed, but you left me hanging again when you turned your back to me."Bryce couldn't help but laugh. He asked, "You're settling scores with me now?"Holly made herself clear, saying, "I want you to remember not to mess with me, or else you'll have to deal with the aftermath."There wasn't much threat in the warning coming from a gentle person. Instead, it only made Bryce find her even more adorable.His lips curled i

Upon hearing Bryce's words, Moses turned to Holly and looked at her carefully.He then said, "Holly did resemble my mom when she was younger. She had that same air of classical elegance."Bryce's gaze changed despite looking calm. He placed a hand on Holly's shoulders and quietly pushed her behind him to block her from Moses.Holly didn't expect him to be wary of even Moses. She smiled helplessly.She was afraid to make Moses uncomfortable, so she replied, "I learned antique scripts and painting restoration from my Grandpa since I was young. "I've been replicating a lot of ancient paintings, so I've somehow exuded an air of classical elegance as time goes by."Moses nodded slightly and said, "My mom was the same. She was a talented woman who excelled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It's such a pity."Everyone had the same thought whenever they mentioned Queenie. It was indeed a pity for such a talented beauty to become mad.…Moses offered to send Bryce and Holly

Holly managed to catch the essence of Benjamin's techniques, and her painting was rather impressive as well.When she was younger, Winston deliberately caught a lot of shrimp from the pond outside and placed it in a bowl for her to observe repeatedly. It was all just to help her bring life to her shrimp paintings.On the other hand, Bryce prepared a wheel of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano for Trevor. It was extremely rare and hard to purchase an entire wheel of aged cheese. It was a feat itself for Bryce to obtain it in the first place.Trevor had high praises for Holly's replica of "The Shrimp" but didn't even bat an eye at the expensive aged cheese gifted by Bryce.Every time a guest showed up, Trevor would pull them over and say, "This is 'The Shrimp' painted by my mentee. Just look at how vivid and lively the shrimp looks!"At first, his guests merely took a glimpse out of courtesy, but their gazes were soon filled with a particular gleam.They couldn't help but take another glimps

There was no one else in the courtyard.Trevor hurriedly rushed toward Samantha and Holly when he saw that they were about to drown.How pitiful it was for a man over 80 years old to have to dive into the water to rescue both of them.Trevor jumped into the pond without even kicking his shoes off. He had a hand around Samantha and the other around Holly and started swimming toward the pond bank.However, he struggled as he was too old. He even had to rescue both of them at the same time. He couldn't even help himself as he swallowed mouthfuls of dirty water.Holly struggled to help Trevor out, but she couldn't remove her arm from Samantha's iron grip.Samantha was stubborn and insisted on competing with her to the end.Just as the three of them were in danger, two people jumped into the pond one after another. It was Abelin, followed by Bryce.Abelin instinctively swam toward Holly and reached out to pull her hand without thinking, getting her out of Samantha's grip.Upon seei

Samantha couldn't be bothered to get changed as she ran into the living room panically. She grabbed Quirina's arm and dragged her out to the courtyard.Quirina asked, "What are you doing? Why are you so anxious?"Tears started falling as Samantha said, "Grandpa—Something happened to Grandpa, Mom!"Quirina frowned and asked, "What happened? Calm down and talk. You shouldn't be crying so much at your grandpa's birthday celebration."Samantha choked on a sob and replied, "Earlier, I wanted to find out if Grandpa loved me or Holly more, so I pushed her into the pond and called for Grandpa's help. "Who knew Grandpa tried rescuing us both at the same time? It was too hard on him, and he drowned."I didn't have my phone with me so I came back to call 911. But—But Abelin called me earlier and told me there's no need to call 911 anymore.""What? What did you say?" Quirina asked, eyes bulging out of anxiousness.Samantha cried as she said, "Grandpa—Grandpa is dead!"Quirina grabbed Sam
