She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 298
Brandon's expression turned into one of disbelief when he heard Holly. "Really? Did you really capture its essence?"She replied, "Yes! I was almost moved to tears when I looked at it. It was my first time feeling that way after almost 20 years of painting."Holly had always been a modest person. She was never one to boast about herself, but today was an exception. It was more of an honest expression of her feelings than self-praise.Brandon's voice broke out in excitement, "Hurry and bring your painting over! Let me see it!"Holly replied, "I haven't gotten it framed yet."Brandon anxiously said, "There's no need. Just show me the painting. If I end up liking it, you don't have to worry about framing and such."Holly said, "Alright. Where should we meet?"Brandon replied, "Just come over to my house. I'll send the address to your WhatsApp.""I'll be there in an hour."After ending the call, Holly washed up, got dressed, and hastily ate. She then rolled up the painting and got

Brandon was met with Penelope, who had just returned from outside. Penelope tossed her handbag onto the couch and eyed Brandon.Seeing his odd expression, she couldn't help but ask, "What's with you today, Dad? You seem rather excited."Brandon reached out to rub his eyes and replied, "Holly's painting is surprisingly good! I'm getting her a check for the remaining payment."Penelope felt uncomfortable hearing him praise someone else effortlessly.She frowned and said in a rather confrontational tone, "It's just a painting. How good can it be?""It's unexpectedly good! You laymen wouldn't understand," Brandon casually replied before opening his bag and pulling out his checkbook.He picked up a pen and was about to sign it when Penelope snatched the pen away from him.She glanced over to the study before whispering, "Are you stupid, Dad? She's Bryce's ex-wife. Why are you enabling her?"The more outstanding Holly was, the dimmer Penelope's limelight would become. She didn't wa

Holly felt that this painting was the best she had ever replicated over the past 20 years. It had a perfect composition and looked grand, with realistic and lifelike details.But it was all rejected by Brandon and his client. She even started doubting her abilities for a split second.When Holly finally rolled up the painting, she picked it up and left Zeller Residence.…It was already dark by the time she returned to Winds Residences.Holly sat dejectedly in the study with the lights turned off. She quietly sat in the dark—even her usual straight posture seemed stooped.Waves of depressive emotions came crashing down upon her. She felt deeply upset and defeated.Leitia came knocking on her door to remind her about dinner.Holly replied listlessly, "I'm not hungry. You can eat without me and get off work after that."Leitia could tell that Holly was upset. She then hurriedly went down to call Bryce.Once the call was connected, Leitia anxiously said, "Mrs. Gabelman isn't in

Tobin hesitated before saying, "I heard that Hunter is an oddball. It's hard for non-acquaintances to make appointments with him."Bryce responded with a hum before ending the call. After a moment of silence, he called Richard.When the call was connected, Bryce asked, "Do you know a wealthy foreign businessman named Hunter Fox, Grandpa? He's in his 70s and used to live in the country before he moved abroad. He's into antiques, especially collecting Keith Fox's paintings."Richard thought for a moment before replying, "I know him. We had some dealings back in the day. Do you need something from him?"Bryce asked, "Are you guys close?"Richard replied, "Somewhat. I once did him a favor over 30 years ago."Bryce asked, "Was it a big favor or a small one?"Richard said, "It's not too small a favor."His "not too small" favor was likely a huge one.Bryce got what he needed and replied, "Alright. I'll hang up now."Richard snorted and grumbled, "You little rascal! You called me in

Holly was caught off guard by the news. It took her a while to regain the glint in her eyes.She turned to look at Bryce, asking, "Is what you said true? That man really liked my painting?"Bryce chuckled and replied, "Yes. He was regretful when he heard you refused to sell it to him."Holly realized that Brandon had lied to her and made her doubt herself.Bryce pinched her cheeks and clicked his tongue. "Look at you, acting like the world has ended over such a trivial matter. You even refused to eat!"Holly rolled her eyes at him, and he smiled.Bryce stood up and walked over to the desk to spread out the painting. He then inspected it closely and said, "Look at how realistic this painting is. One would think that such a majestic painting was drawn by some burly man instead."You're so talented, Holls. Your mountain painting looked even more real than the mountain itself. The same goes for your prawn and bamboo paintings."Holly knew he was trying to cheer her up with his flat

Hunter rubbed his eyes and extended his hand toward Sion. Sion astutely handed him a high-powered magnifying glass.Hunter took the magnifying glass and carefully examined the painting, looking from the top to the bottom.While examining, he nodded and said, "These determined and robust brushstrokes were indeed employing the sfumato and impasto techniques that Keith Fox was best at."After putting down the magnifying glass, Hunter looked at Holly with a bright gaze. "Did you really paint this, miss?"Holly smiled, replying, "I painted it, yes."Hunter regarded her with a skeptical gaze and remarked, "You looked very young."Holly replied truthfully, "I'm 23 years old."Hunter got even more suspicious. "You're so young, yet your brushstrokes are so robust. You're not tricking me, are you?"Holly calmly said, "I've been learning restoration from my grandfather, Winston Sinclair, since I was young. Painting copies is only part of the basic skills I've learned."Even though I'm

Hunter smiled kindly and said, "You're welcome. It's what you deserved."Holly took the check and sat down. She was shocked when she looked at the amount. It was ten million dollars in foreign currency.That was over 66 million dollars in their currency. It was the price tag of a veteran expert in the art industry.Holly was an honest person. She hurriedly reminded Hunter, "Did you perhaps make a mistake with the amount, Mr. Fox?"She thought the 15 million dollars Brandon had offered her were already hefty. She didn't expect Hunter to pay her even more.Hunter laughed out loud and said, "I didn't. I'm paying you ten million dollars in foreign currency because your painting is worth that price. You've already achieved so much at your age. You're bound to accomplish even more in the future.""But the price is just too high," Holly said, finding herself undeserving of the money.Hunter rubbed his chin and chuckled. "It's not high since this painting happened to be of my liking. Ke

Abelin pressed the doorbell, and Sion opened the door to usher him in.He keyed in the password to unlock the lockbox before presenting it to Hunter. "I've found what you wanted, Mr. Fox. Please take a look."Hunter glanced over and saw that it was the iridescent pulled-feather Favrile glass vase that he wanted.He thanked Abelin before asking, "You said over the phone that you needed to talk to me about something?"Abelin chuckled and said, "I heard you were looking for 'The Travelers' by Keith Fox, and I knew a friend who replicated one. But I suppose you don't need my recommendation anymore since I just saw her leaving the building."Hunter had long since become a wise man in his 70s. He immediately guessed who Abelin was talking about.He praised, "That young woman is truly remarkable—even more so than her grandfather back in those days. She managed to copy Keith Fox's painting with such accuracy and depth at such a young age."Most female painters tend to have a gentle styl

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
