She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 36
"Why would I do that to Holly?" Sherry asked with a frown. Bryce said, his voice devoid of emotion, "You know what kind of person you are."Sherry said nothing. She ended the call and sent Bryce their location through WhatsApp before returning the phone to Holly. With rage in her tone, she said self-deprecatingly, "Damn brat thought I came to make things difficult for you. Do I really look like I'd be a horrible mother-in-law?"Holly thought back to the confrontation in the Hermès store, where Sherry had scorned Samantha coldly. That had indeed been brutal. However, as Samantha had been the one subjected to that, Holly felt vindicated and touched. She smiled softly. "No. You're the most beautiful mother-in-law there is."Sherry's rage subsided. "You're better with your words, that's certain. Damn brat threw tantrums so huge his wife almost left him, and I came here, out of kindness, to make sure she comes back. Turns out he doesn't think me capable of that."Holly understoo

Holly's midnight-blue, floor-length gown was adorned by countless small diamonds that looked like stars in the sky. As she walked, the lights that shone on her and the stars on her gown made her look especially ethereal. Sherry caught sight of Holly as well. She came over quickly and looped her arm through Holly's before introducing her to everyone else, "This is my daughter-in-law, Holly Sinclair."Everyone was shocked. "When did Bryce get married? Why didn't you inform us?"Sherry smiled. "It's been three years. The wedding will be held after some time."A middle-aged rich woman wearing a purple evening gown who was standing close to Holly looked her up and down, praising her, "You're so pretty, and you give off this sense of elegance. You're surely the daughter of some rich family, aren't you?"Holly's gaze dimmed. She was about to speak when Sherry grabbed her hand and said, "Holly's Winston Sinclair's granddaughter. Winston, as in the Master of Restoration, is an expert in

Holly walked over to stand beside Bryce, who stood ramrod straight under the lights. His tall figure made for an exceptionally beautiful sight. Holly looked up and smiled at him, her eyes as bright as the stars. Her pinky finger brushed lightly against his fingers, which were twice longer than hers. Sensing the touch, Bryce held her hand with a smile. He caressed the back of her head with his other hand, saying gently, "Traffic was bad on the way, so I was late. Sorry about that."Holly gave him a small smile. "It's fine. I arrived a short while ago, too."The sight of them pissed Janice off. She opened her mouth, about to say something. However, she feared that she would offend Bryce and be humiliated as a result, so she went elsewhere, taking her glass of wine with her.Bryce took Holly's hand and walked with her to a table, where they sat down. He scooped some caviar up with a mother-of-pearl spoon and placed it before Holly's lips. "This is beluga caviar, which just arrived

Holly mimicked Bryce, inclining her head slightly at Samantha before picking up a cup of tiramisu and starting on it. She didn't bother with even the most perfunctory reply.Samantha said pitifully to Bryce as if she was wronged, "Holly seems not to like me that much."Bryce lifted his chin slightly and pointed at the spot opposite from them. "You should go over there."Samantha stared at him, wanting to retort, but didn't in the end. She replied reluctantly, "Fine." She walked over to the table opposite them and sat down, but her gaze remained on Bryce. After socializing with all the guests, Arthur came over to where Bryce and Holly were at. When he was close to them, Holly got up and greeted him, "Hello, Father."Arthur glanced at her haughtily and gave her a short reply as acknowledgment before saying to Bryce, "Come with me to the study upstairs.""Sure," Bryce replied indifferently before saying gently to Holly, "Take your time with the food, and eat whatever you want.

After going downstairs, Holly took a turn and headed to the bathroom. She entered a cubicle, locked the door, and sat on the toilet seat, covering her face with her hands. She took some time to calm down before remembering what she had been sent upstairs for in the first place. She took out her phone and sent Bryce a message. "Mom wants you and Father to come down. It's time to cut the cake."Bryce replied, "Sure."Holly sat there for a few more minutes before going out to wash her hands at the sink. She looked up and saw how pale her face was in the mirror. She lifted the corners of her lips up, trying to look more normal. The sounds of high heels clacking on the floor grew louder before the door was pushed open, revealing a petite figure wearing a midnight-blue dress that looked like the night sky—it was Samantha. She eyed Holly and smiled insincerely. "We meet again, Holly.""Hmm," Holly acknowledged her presence simply before wiping her hands with a towel.Samantha walked

Holly nodded with a smile. "Sure. You don't need to mind me." She said goodbye to Sherry before getting in the car and leaving the Gabelman residence. When they passed by a 24-hour pharmacy, she told the driver to stop the car, and she went to buy a box of emergency birth control pills. She had had sex with Bryce the previous night, and she hadn't taken any precautions despite being in the ovulation stage.This wasn't the right time to have a child with Bryce, for he hadn't made his decision yet. They might end up getting a divorce at some point later in time. She had never gotten any paternal love before when she was a child. She knew the feeling of lacking it well, and she didn't want her children to have the same experience. After returning home, Holly removed one pill and took it with warm water as per instructed on the manual. The other pill was to be taken 12 hours later, so she left the pill box on the cabinet beside the water dispenser. She went up for a simple showe

That sentence alone was enough to draw Holly's attention. She thought back to what Olivia had told her about how Robyn might have done things at someone else's instigation. Olivia had looked at Samantha with this meaningful gaze.Holly looked down at her left hand, which was in a brace. She really wanted to know if her injury was related to Samantha in any manner. She quietly waited for a while, only to hear Bryce utter in a low voice, "Hmm."Holly went back for the first aid kit before heading toward Bryce, asking, "Has Robyn been caught?"Bryce ended the call before turning toward her. He answered, "She's gone missing."Holly frowned. "Missing?""Yes. The men I sent over rooted through her house as well as those of her relatives, but she was nowhere to be seen. Her family has already reported this to the police, so let's just wait for news about that."Holly's gaze deepened. "The timing of her going missing is pretty coincidental. She went missing immediately after you se

When Bryce had been wheelchair-bound and low in spirits, Holly wished every day that he would eventually stand up again. But now that it had happened, Janice and Arthur found her unworthy to be with him. Those people who called themselves the upper crust of society really did value benefits over relationships—over everything, actually. After Bryce was wiped dry, he put on his nightgown. Holly used her right hand to tie the sash on his waist while Bryce used his left. They held one end of the sash at the same time and managed to tie a knot on Bryce's waist with their joint efforts—they had worked together swimmingly.Bryce had a small smile on his face. "What should we call what we have?"Holly thought about it before turning to look at him, her eyes crescent moons as she smiled. "Being there for each other through thick and thin?"Bryce seemed to have thought back to something as he replied only after a beat, "Yes, thick and thin."He looked down and met her gaze, asking, "If

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
