Holly smiled lightly, "Who would've thought you'd followhere? Impressive." Vivienne replied with a laugh, "Aunt Holly, you're quite the actress, fooling us all!" Percival remained silent for a moment before looking at Holly, "Aren't you going to explain?" Holly, understanding Percival's question, turned to Arthur instead.
Arthur sighed, "Holly, just tell them. Their mission is aligned with ours now."

Holly continued, her voice tinged with pain, "Gavin was cautious and sly. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't gain hisplete trust until I... I had to sacrifice my dignity." Percival's expression turned dark, while Vivienne gentlyforted him, understanding the depth of Holly's sacrifice.

She's been plotting for years, but the woman in red saw last tlooked so young..." Arthur frowned slightly, "We've also confirmed now that all those events with significant danger are linked to Abigail. She's the mastermind behind it all." "But could she have used ssort of disguise tech like Samantha?" Vivienne pondered, her voice heavy with thought, "It's unlikely. I'm pretty familiar with disguise tech, and if she had used it, I would've spotted it right away." Percival's lips barely moved, his voice cool, "No rush, without the Grimshaw and Abernathy families, she must be the one feeling the pressure now." He turned to Arthur, "Regarding Gavin, if you guys need to interrogate him again, I can arrange for a secret questioning." Arthur nodded, "No need for now. If the dayes, I'll reach out to you." After all, he had already pieced together most of the clues related to Gavin.
