She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 154
Bryce froze. He wasn't expecting the hug.He thought she would be upset that he was cleaning her hand and would complain about it.He was ready to apologize.But somehow, Holly hugged him instead.He let her hug him like that for a long while.Bryce reached up, pulling her head down gently on his shoulder. Then, he caressed her cheek.There was warmth in his hands.Holly leaned against his shoulder, asking softly, "What's wrong?"Bryce's gaze dimmed. Softly, he said, "I'm not sure."Holly was silent. Then, she asked, "Were you like this with Samantha?"Bryce's eyes darkened. "Never."After a pause, he said, "I'll try to reign it in."Holly considered it carefully. "But if you suppress your emotions, it might backfire on you. That would be even worse.""I'll just try," Bryce said lightly."It won't work. What if I just paid more attention next time?" Then, she added playfully, "It's a good thing that I'm in the antiques industry. I mostly talk to old men."Hayden and Abel

Seeing that Samantha was also here, Holly stiffened her back and raised her chin. She smiled lightly and said, "Were you looking for me, Trevor?"Trevor pointed at the jigsaw puzzle on the counter. "Can you complete this puzzle, please?""Yes, sir."Holly walked over and rummaged around the pieces. She saw that this was "The Forgotten Valley" by Xerxes Willow.Of course, the jigsaw itself was a modern invention. It was a scaled-down version of the painting.Xerxes Willow was a famous painter in his time. He was talented from a young age. He created his famous masterpiece, "The Forgotten Valley", within just six months. No one could surpass him.He was only 18 years old at the time.Holly looked up to him when she was younger. She basically idolized him.She had seen his paintings countless times before. She had made quite a few copies of his work, too.She could replicate his paintings with her eyes closed.What happened next was a shocking sight. Everyone looked on in a daze

"Mr. Gabelman's here!" a sharp-eyed shop assistant called out.After that, he jogged up to the main entrance and pulled the glass door open.Abelin walked in with a mahogany box.Trevor stroked his beard, smiling at him. "What brings you here, Abelin?"Abelin waved the mahogany box in his hands and smiled. "This is my family's genealogy chart. It's really worn out. I wanted Holly to restore it. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it."Hearing that, Holly went up to him and took the mahogany box. She opened it and stepped aside, beginning to examine the chart.Trevor was happy to hear someone praise his mentee.He was the one who taught her how to do all that. He took pride in it and said, "That's right. You should get my mentee to do these things. She's so young, but she's already so brilliant. She's going to put us old farts all out of business."Samantha's face turned splotchy red hearing her own grandfather praise Holly.Trevor glanced at her. Seeming to remember something,

They all denied it.But the fact remained that she had been slapped.The stinging pain in her cheek was proof of that.This was too peculiar for words.She shifted her suspicious gaze toward Trevor. With tears in her eyes, she bleated, "Was it you, Grandpa?"Trevor's face fell. "You're my granddaughter. Even if you make me angry, scolding you is the most that I will do. How could I slap you?"Samantha was about to have a nervous breakdown.She patted her swollen red cheek. "But I really was slapped. There are so many people here. Hasn't anyone seen the culprit at all?"The assistants all backed away. They were afraid of being suspected.Abelin turned and walked toward Holly. He asked, "Can it be restored, Ms. Sinclair?"Holly nodded. "Yes. But the paper is really thick, and there's a great deal of damage. It'll take a few days to restore it. Are you in a hurry to get it back?""No. You can take your time. Call me when it's done, and I'll come to pick it up.""Alright.""Th

Samantha was left with the static sound on the receiver. She was furious.She just couldn't understand it. Just what sort of a spell had Holly bewitched all these people with?Why did they all love Holly and hate her so much?It was just illogical!Holly was a country bumpkin who didn't know how to dress up. She had never even stepped foot outside of the country.Meanwhile, Samantha was a princess. She was delicate, beautiful, and fashionable.She was better than Holly in every way.Samantha was upset. The people who liked Holly had terrible taste, including her Trevor.As Samantha fumed, Holly, with Trevor's permission, brought Abelin's genealogy chart home to restore it. It just so happened that Trevor's Pavilion didn't have the materials needed for the restoration.Bryce had prepared a study for her at home. It was specially for her restoration work.Abelin's chart was quite aged. The paper was dated to be thousands of years ago.The chart was thick, and the pages were fi

However, Bryce pulled her back.He raised her chin and then pecked her nose. Then, he slid down to her lips and kissed her lightly.After a pause, he let her go.Holly felt a little disappointed.He wasn't like this before.Back then, he would kiss her deeply. He wouldn't let her go after just a simple peck on the lips.She asked dubiously, "What's wrong with you today?"Bryce massaged his forehead, looking a little irritated. "We're trying for a child, and I'm drunk. I don't want to influence you with my alcohol."That was a shoddy excuse no matter how Holly looked at it.Bryce strode into the bathroom to shower.Since he was drunk, Holly was afraid he would slip and fall.So, she followed after him and held his arm, saying, "I was commissioned to restore a genealogy chart today. I saw Grandpa's name on it. He and Abelin's grandfather are cousins. Doesn't that make you…""It's just a coincidence," Bryce said, cutting her off. "Abelin and I are not related to each other at

"Everything is fine. Just go to sleep." Bryce switched off the lights.Holly stared at his handsome face for some time.In the dark, the shadows on his face were even more prominent. Lying beneath the shadows was a storm.Holly wondered why he was like this.A while later, she said softly, "Abelin wanted me to restore the genealogy chart. If you're against it, I can return it to him tomorrow and ask him to get someone else to help him.""Don't. Just restore it. It's your work," Bryce said lightly."I don't think you're too happy about it.""I am," Bryce said. He sounded too indifferent about it.He sounded unhappy no matter how he put it.Holly took a deep breath and said, "Just tell me what you want me to do. I'll listen to whatever you say.""Just do what you have to. I'll control myself."His mask was slipping.Holly repositioned herself, leaning against his chest. She caressed his cheek and began kissing him.She wasn't really good at comforting people.For the first

Holly would usually put her phone on silent when she worked.She was afraid of getting distracted. It might cause her to make a mistake.When she grew busy, she would forget the time. She would forget everything, in fact.It was only after it hit 10:00 pm that Holly remembered Bryce's call.She took up her phone and saw that there were several missed calls. They were all from Bryce.She dialed him back.He only picked up after three beeps.A sultry female voice could be heard saying, "Who are you looking for?"It was a familiar voice. It belonged to Samantha.Holly felt like she was struck by lightning. She trembled all over.She gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you Samantha?""Yeah. Are you surprised, Holly?" Samantha said, giggling.That giggle of hers felt like she was provoking Holly.Holly steeled herself. "What about Bryce? Why is his phone in your hands?""Oh, Bryce? He's in the shower."Holly's mind was about to explode. There was a low hum in her ears as if the

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
