She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 173
A woman in her 50s was on the hospital bed. She had long silver hair tied at the back of her head.She looked thin, and the oversized hospital gown hung loosely over her frail frame. The bones of her shoulders were protruding from beneath the fabric.The woman had a sickly and pale complexion, devoid of any color. Her eyes were large with a deep set of double eyelids and luscious eyelashes.And yet, such a beautiful pair of eyes had a vacant gaze, clouded and distant. One could easily tell that she wasn't sane.Even though the woman was mentally ill, she still retained the demeanor of a refined lady. There was a hint of gentle elegance beneath her haggard appearance.Queenie was hugging an exquisite old doll in her arms. Her head hung low as she gently rocked the doll while humming a song."Sleep, sleep, my precious one; in Mommy's arms, the day is done. Rocking gently, to and fro; close your eyes, let dreams now flow."Queenie seemed not to notice them even when they entered th

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

Bryce eyed Quirina. He smirked and mocked, "You really taught your 'innocent' daughter well, Mrs. Cott."Anyone could tell it was an insult to both Samantha and Quirina.Quirina's lips parted as if she wanted to say something else, but Bryce couldn't be bothered further. He took Holly's hand and walked away, with Moses following behind. Only Quirina was left panicking on her own.Once they left, she took her phone out of her Hermès bag and called Samantha.As soon as the call was connected, she scolded, "You rotten girl! Why didn't you tell me you went into Bryce's room and answered his calls? It's fine if you answered his calls, but you even let Holly record the conversation. Why are you so stupid?"Samantha was stunned. "What? Holly recorded the conversation?"Quirina replied, "Yes. She just played your recording in front of Bryce, Moses, and me earlier. I'm so embarrassed because of this!"Samantha cursed, "That Holly is so fucking cunning!""You're the stupid one! Be more c

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 were many guests here for Trevor's birthday celebration today. Holly didn't want to quarrel with Samantha.As such, she said, "You should attend to your guests, Mr. Habel. I'll have a look around outside for now."Trevor knew that Holly and Samantha didn't see eye to eye with each other, so he didn't insist on her staying.He replied kindly, "Alright. You can have a look around the courtyard, but don't go too far. Come back for lunch when it's time."Holly felt touched. Even though she wasn't related to Trevor, he still took good care of her. It made her recall Winston.She was momentarily overcome by emotions as she replied, "Okay, Mr. Habel."Holly looked for Bryce among the crowd. She found him sitting in a corner of the living room, talking with Moses. They looked like they were talking business.She decided not to disturb him and walked out on her own.Trevor lived in a Victorian-style mansion. The brick walls were painted in a combination of colors of rich earth ton

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

A sense of foreboding crept into Samantha's heart, and she cried harder, "Why is your hand so cold, Grandpa? Grandpa! You must wake up, Grandpa!"She reached over to slap Trevor's face in hopes of waking him up.Abelin found her crying too noisy. He frowned and scolded, "Go and cry somewhere else! Don't disturb me when I'm trying to rescue him!"Abelin had a stern-looking appearance that would deter people from nearing him. He was even more intimidating when he got angry.Frightened, Samantha dared not cry anymore. She wiped her tears with the back of her hands and stood up while sobbing.She then reached into her pocket for her phone out of habit to dial 911 but couldn't find it.Samantha thought her phone had dropped in the pond, but she soon recalled that it was charging indoors as the battery was flat.She had forgotten to bring her phone out earlier as she was in a rush to kick Holly out. She then turned and ran to the main building to get her phone.Once Samantha was gone

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

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
