She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 71
Frowning slightly, Holly texted back, saying, "Arthur doesn't approve of us."Priscilla's reply came soon after. "Parents will always give in to their children. You and Bryce just need to work harder to convince Arthur. You'll regret it if you give up before you try." After a brief silence, Holly replied, "Okay."At 10:00 pm, Bryce and Holly arrived back at the house on Crescent Lane.After taking a shower, Holly picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair. Bryce, who had showered in another bathroom, came over to look for her. When he saw what she was doing, he took the hairdryer from her and dried her hair for her.Smiling, Holly said, "My left hand is almost fully recovered. I can do it myself."Bryce remained expressionless as he sat her down on the couch before replying, "I just want to take good care of you."It was such an affectionate thing to say. Paired with his reserved and stoic manner, it conveyed just the right amount of romance.Feeling touched, Holly said, "Thank y

Bryce's deep, alluring voice sounded like music to Holly's ears. Her heart started racing as she stood frozen.How could anyone think straight after hearing such sweet words from someone they loved?Smiling, Holly looked up at Bryce and said, "Thank you for doing your best to make me happy."Snorting, Bryce nudged her cheek and eyed her teasingly. "You know, I'm beginning to realize that you don't have much of a romantic bone in you."Holly's smile faltered slightly. With a sheepish chuckle, she said, "I am rather unromantic. Yax once said that about me."Bryce smiled and asked, "What did he say?""He said I was a nice person, but I was too nice, so I also seemed rather boring. He told me to be more forward and provocative with my actions and behavior—that I should know when to be coy or docile. He said I needed to be shameless enough to resort to tricks if I had to."After a brief pause, Bryce said, "If you want to be more provocative, go ahead, but only when you're with me. Fe

Annie was stunned. "Goodness me! Are you some kind of genius?"Holly didn't think she was one—not when she couldn't even come up with something romantic to say to Bryce."Anyway, let's end the call here. I'll make a draft and give it to you tonight."Once again, Annie was shocked. "So soon?""Yeah."After ending the call, Holly went to her study. It had all the tools and supplies she needed for her restoration work.Richard loved collecting ancient scripts and paintings, but such historical pieces required a lot of maintenance. In the last few years, Holly was the one who maintained and restored them when needed.Bryce was the one who had someone prepare these tools for her.Holly retrieved a piece of parchment paper and dyed it with tea to age it a bit. Then, she got Leitia to help her prepare the paint.Once the parchment was dry, Holly picked up the brush and started recreating the painting from memory.Stanley's artwork exhibited his profound mastery over layering differe

Holly felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. All the color drained out of her face, and she could barely stay on her feet. She gripped the railing so hard that her knuckles turned white.That was Bryce, the man who'd been so clingy with her that morning, so much so that he wanted to carry her in his pocket and take her everywhere.And yet, he was now chatting happily with his ex-girlfriend as he walked alongside her.Men were all liars, after all.Startled by Holly's reaction, Annie grabbed her hand and asked in concern, "What's the matter, Holly? Are you feeling unwell? Is it because of how high up we are? Are you afraid of heights?"Holly nodded stiffly as her chest heaved.After a minute, she finally regained some color in her cheeks, and she smirked mockingly.This explained why Bryce didn't want her to leave the house.The outside world was a mess, huh?He was probably just afraid of her seeing him with Samantha.Holly couldn't understand what Bryce was thinkin

Rubbing her aching nose, Holly quickly apologized to the man, "I'm so sorry.""It's fine. Is your nose alright?" the man asked.His tone was a little cool but unusual at the same time. His accent was a little stiff as if he wasn't used to speaking the language.Holly looked up and saw a handsome face that was framed with short hair.Before she could take a closer look at his features, her attention was drawn to his eyes. They were like dark pools of water that were still and deep, fanned by thick eyelashes.As soon as she saw his eyes, she felt a thump in her heart.His eyes looked so much like Abel's—even more than Bryce's did.At the recollection of Abel, the one who'd died while rescuing her, Holly's heart started aching painfully again.She clutched her chest and leaned against the wall in pain, her face turning pale."Are you okay?" the man asked as he tried to help her, but before he could touch her, someone shoved him away.Bryce had caught up.He pulled Holly into hi

Clenching the document tightly, Bryce continued to read the information.Abelin was the son of Zorro Gabelman, the founder and largest shareholder of Zorro Auctioneers.Zorro Auctioneers, which was affiliated with Zorro Trading in Jardington, had an annual revenue of tens of billions of dollars and was one of the largest auction houses dealing with antiquities in Jardington.Bryce had never heard of Zorro before, either because he wasn't based in the country or because he kept a low profile.However, it was obvious that the family was swimming in money.Bryce stared at the information and pondered in silence.Three years ago, Holly chose him instead of Abel.At the time, he was paralyzed from the waist down due to the accident, so money was all he had.Holly married him largely because her family needed money, so he assumed Abel was penniless.But based on the information he had now, Abelin, if he were indeed the very same Abel, was in no way penniless.Arthur noticed Bryce,

Figuring out what Holly was doing, Bryce said, "Father called me and told me to give Samantha a ride to the hotel. As soon as she got in, I reminded her I was a married man, so she needed to keep her distance from me to avoid unnecessary problems."During dinner, she wanted to sit with me, and I came up with an excuse to avoid sitting with her. After dinner, Father wanted me to give her a ride home, but I refused him. I'm a loyal man who keeps my boundaries with other women, Holls. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Tobin or check the dashcam footage in my car."It was obvious that he wasn't lying, so Holly's displeasure subsided. In fact, she felt a little moved that he was willing to go against Arthur for her sake. After all, Arthur was his father and the one who determined his future in the family company.Holly hugged Bryce. She wanted to praise him and throw a few romantic comments, but the more she wanted to, the harder it was for her to find the words.She was clueless

Three days later, Annie called Holly and said in excitement, "I've got good news, Holly! All the experts unanimously voted for you to be the restorer in charge of the inpainting for Stanley Warner's Mountain Home! You must be over the moon right now, yeah?"Holly hummed in acknowledgment before asking, "When should I start?"Startled, Annie asked, "I-Is that your only reaction?"Raising her eyebrows, Holly asked, "How else should I react?"Annie's voice became shrill as she exclaimed, "Do you realize you defeated 18 expert imitators from all over the country? They're all the top in the field and highly respected by the museums they work for, and they're all in their 40s at least. Meanwhile, you're only 23, and you've already beaten them all!"Shouldn't you be shouting from the rooftops to celebrate your victory?"Holly let out a few forced laughs of joy before asking, "Will that do?"Annie was dumbfounded. "Anyway, your left hand is still in recovery. Will that affect the inpain

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
