She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 258
Annie was stunned.She felt that money was just a bunch of numbers to these people.They were spending money like water.These rich folks didn't care about their money at all.Millions were nothing in their eyes.Compared to Annie, Holly was way calmer.She grew up with Winston, who had always been calm. Naturally, she would be nonchalant toward money as well.Holly had also visited the museum with Winston when she was young. So, she had seen a lot of treasures like that before.That day, she was there to witness the Renaizance paintings' beauty.She was also there to get whatever seemed appropriate.However, after seeing how the auction started with that price, she didn't think she could join in the fun.The host of Zorro Auctioneers knew how to make the event exciting.The next few paintings were sold at a high price.No matter who painted them, they were at least tens of millions of dollars.After a break, the next item being auctioned was a landscape painting.The pa

Holly smiled.Then, she said confidently, "If I'm not mistaken, that painting is Keith Fox's "Peaks and Hills." He liked to keep his signature small and hide it in his paintings, making it hard to find."Annie exclaimed in shock, "Keith Fox? Are you saying that it's really painted by Keith Fox?""Judging from the way it was drawn, I would think so. Once we find his signature, we'll be able to verify it. No one could imitate the way he painted his paintings."Keith Fox's "Peaks and Hills" was a treasure in the Isola Museum.During the 2000s, a foreign magazine ranked the most influential person in the world who had the greatest impact on humanity in the past thousand years.There were six of them who were from Holly's country, and Keith Fox was one of them.His name was well-known.Annie said his name loudly, and everyone around them heard her.They were all immediately stunned.If it really were a painting by Keith Fox, fans would bid hundreds of millions of dollars for it, l

Holly smiled. "60 million dollars. It's a deal."Caleb was a straightforward guy. "Let's find a hotel to sign a contract and proceed with the transaction."Holly nodded. "Alright."Caleb looked at his watch. "I'm meeting someone in a while to discuss business, and it's almost time. Do you mind if they join us? After we sign the contract, you can leave first.""I don't mind."Although Caleb looked unreliable, he did things smoothly."Then, I'll call my man now and let him prepare the contract. Will you be alright with a check?" Holly agreed, "Yes."They both got into their cars and drove to Jardington Hotel and Restaurant—the hotel Caleb mentioned.When they entered the room, the client Caleb was meeting had yet to arrive.Holly and Annie sat quietly as they waited.They were waiting for Caleb's assistant to bring the contract.Meanwhile, the staff were serving them drinks.Caleb stroked his chin as he scanned Holly. "Miss, who exactly are you? How could you have such a sh

Caleb didn't feel awkward at all. He said as they walked, "I just purchased a painting for my dad, and we're signing the contract now. "Don't worry. She'll be gone soon and won't be disturbing our meeting."Bryce nodded subtly without any emotion.Caleb continued to talk by himself, "That young woman sure is something. She could tell from a distance that the painting was painted by Keith Fox. If I had a vision like her, I would've bid against her and saved some money."Bryce's gaze shifted a little.He had a hunch when he heard about a young woman and a painting.Bryce asked calmly, "Who is this young woman?"Caleb liked to talk, so he said confidently, "She's Winston Sinclair and Trevor Habel's mentee. Not only is she gorgeous, but she's also elegant like a goddess. She's also young. I think she's in her 20s."Bryce was sure at that moment.The young woman Caleb was talking about was Holly.There weren't a lot of women in the antique industry. Instead, there were more elder

"What? She's… She's your woman?" Caleb felt extremely awkward.He wanted to bury himself in the ground badly.He flirted so much that he managed to offend someone. He had never met anyone who embarrassed themselves like he did.Caleb finally realized why Bryce's face was so dark earlier.He was fortunate enough not to be punched in the face by Bryce."I'm sorry, Bryce. I didn't know she was your wife." Caleb was quick-witted, and he quickly changed his tone. "You two are the perfect pair. You're dashing, and she's gorgeous. You're made for each other."Bryce was distracted as he nodded.He could only focus on Holly.His gaze was locked on her face, and he couldn't look away.Seeing how awkward it was, Holly quickly signed the contract.Then, she grabbed the check and stood up. "Please carry on with your meeting. I shall take my leave now and not disturb you further."Caleb could read the room well, and he quickly said, "What's the rush, Mrs. Gabelman? Have a chat with Bryce

"Alright."Bryce had actually assigned two bodyguards to protect Holly in the dark.Although they had gotten a divorce, the hatred the Cott family had for Holly was established. So, Bryce thought it was safer to have someone following her.Holly pulled back her hand from his and said without any emotion, "Goodbye."Bryce's heart was hurting, but he looked calm. "Goodbye."Holly left the room with determination.She called Annie, and they left together.When they got in the car, she transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Annie.She felt bad for making things awkward for Annie."Holly, being able to attend the auction because of you was enough to make me happy. Why did you give me money?"Holly smiled. "You should have it for accompanying me everywhere. Take it as an allowance.""I was bored anyway. After all, we're friends."Holly didn't say anything else.Annie placed one hand on the steering wheel and said, "I have a feeling that you're not seeing me as a friend. It fe

Ron's face contorted in pain, and he yelled with a missing tooth, "It's illegal for you to beat me up!"His mouth was covered in blood, and he was spitting blood as he spoke.He looked even more miserable now.Right after Ron said that, Bryce threw another punch.A loud noise sounded when his fist collided with Ron's face.Ron was in so much pain that his ears started ringing, and he was seeing stars.It felt like his cheekbones were fractured.He covered his hurting face with his handcuffed hands. Then, he glared at Bryce.Kolby reminded Bryce from the side, "Mr. Gabelman, don't hit him in the face. Do it on parts that aren't visible. Otherwise, it'll be hard to answer for it."Bryce nodded slightly. Then, he kicked Ron's thighs.Ron fell to his knees loudly.After that, Bryce grabbed a chair and smashed it on Ron's back.Because of this bastard, James was dead.He caused James' parents to lose their son. James' wife lost her husband, and his child had to grow up without

Bryce bent down to grab Ron's collar and lifted him off the ground. Then, Bryce grabbed Ron's head and smashed it into the wall.A loud noise sounded, and Ron felt great pain and dizziness. The room was spinning around him.Kolby noticed Ron almost couldn't handle it anymore, so he said to Bryce, "That's enough, Mr. Gabelman. He'll be dead if we keep this up."However, Bryce was furious. There was no way he would listen.He grabbed Ron with one hand and threw a punch with his other hand.Ron gasped in pain and couldn't breathe at all.Kolby was getting anxious, and he looked at Tobin, hoping the latter could talk Bryce out of it.Tobin thought about what to say before speaking, "It's time to stop, Mr. Gabelman. Don't hurt your hands."However, Bryce's mind was clouded with rage.It seemed like he didn't even hear Tobin. He continued grabbing Ron's collar and repeatedly bashed the man into the wall. It didn't look like he was planning to stop anytime soon.Bryce wanted to kill

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
