Zorro was very generous. He immediately took out his checkbook from his bag and wrote a check for Holly on the spot. It was more than 14 million in foreign currency.Despite looking calm outwardly, Holly was overjoyed.The tiger on the Edgewood vase was indeed hand-painted by King Konrad. The anecdote as well as the fact that she wanted to increase her luck were also true. However, Holly lied about wanting to add it to her own collection. She did that to increase the vase's value and gain more profit.They were willing to spend over 200 million dollars to acquire a royal goblet. It would be just a drop in the bucket for them to spend 100 million dollars on an Edgewood vase hand-painted by royalty.Hunter took a sip of his coffee before telling Holly, "This is Mr. Zorro Gabelman, Holly. He's Abelin's father."Holly couldn't help but marvel at Hunter's shrewdness. He only spoke up after she received the money. If he had told her about it earlier, she would have sold it to Zorro at

Bryce was the one who fired the earlier shots. He arrived in the nick of time.Holly thought she was dreaming, but she could see that it was indeed Bryce's familiar face in front of her.She ran toward him without much thought and threw herself onto him. Grabbing onto his sleeves, she looked up tearfully with a hint of surprise. "How did you get here?"Holly went from being traumatized to being surprised in a short span of time. Such contrasting emotions crashed over her, causing her to forget about everything for a moment. She even forgot that she was still holding a gun.It was dangerous for someone who didn't know how to handle a gun to carry one. One wrong move would accidentally trigger it.Bryce calmly took the gun away from Holly and secured the safety switch.He said, "I'm temporarily transferring to the company's branch in Newmorrow. I'll only transfer back to Jardington once you're done restoring the paintings."Holly was stunned. "Are you joking?"Bryce replied, "I'm

Upon reaching the hospital, Bryce was rushed to the emergency room. Holly stood outside the room and anxiously waited. Fortunately, his bones weren't harmed since the bullet just grazed his arm. After half an hour, he came out after getting his arm stitched.After monitoring for a while, Holly accompanied Bryce back into his ward. She supported him as he lay on the bed. Then, she got him a glass of water with a straw. After that, she gently fed him his medicine.After a while, a nurse came in and attached Bryce to a pack of IV fluid. The transparent fluid slowly dripped into his body. Holly looked at his pale face, and it seemed like she had a lot on her mind. "You seem to be unlucky this year. You've been hurt so many times."Bryce smirked and thought it was ridiculous. "Indeed. You're my lucky charm. I'll be safe when you're around. But when you're gone, I'll get hurt.""Nonsense. We're together this year as well, but you still got hurt.""That was because you wanted a divor

Bryce came out of the bathroom. He had just shaved his beard, and there was a faint fragrance from his shaving cream. Seeing that it was Arthur at the door, his face fell slightly. Then, he asked with a deadpan face, "Why are you here?""I heard you were hurt. Since I had a meeting in Newmorrow, I decided to drop by." Arthur scanned Bryce and said, "Are you hurt badly?" Bryce calmly said, "Obviously, I'm not dead." Arthur was speechless for a second. "I heard a robber did this. The robbers in Calria sure are outrageous.""That's not it. Someone took advantage of the situation to hurt me."Arthur was stunned in surprise. "Do you know who did it?" Bryce smirked and looked at Arthur with a meaningful gaze. "If it's a rival company, then it's probably one of the enemies you've made in the past. Otherwise, it could be your dearest elder son."Arthur's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Don't overthink it. It can't possibly be Levi. He's your brother."Bryce said calmly yet firmly, "Th

The doors to the examination room opened, and Bryce walked out. He buttoned his shirt with one hand, and there was no emotion on his dashing face.Holly took a close look at him and didn't notice anything wrong with him. She figured he hadn't heard their conversation earlier and secretly let out a breath of relief. The only thing she was afraid of was him getting angry for no reason.Compared to quarreling, it would be more torturous for Bryce to give her the cold shoulder.She grabbed the flask from the bodyguard and poured a glass of water before handing it to Bryce. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" He took the drink and calmly said, "I'm fine. It's just a simple electrocardiogram."Holly frowned. "Was the doctor who examined you a woman or a man?" Bryce was stunned for a while before he chuckled. Then, he gently rubbed her nose and said with a doting tone, "When did you become so petty? It was a woman at first, but I asked for a male doctor instead."She was satisfie
