She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 79
Real antiques were all extremely expensive. The cheaper ones were either fakes or simple crafts.Alas, the world of antiques was not an upright one either.Even after searching through many different antique stores, Holly and Annie came up empty.At last, they came to a classy-looking antique store.Holly walked around, checking out the displays. Eventually, she spotted a pile of scrap paper in a glass display. The largest scrap was only the size of a child's palm. It was impossible to discern what the scraps used to be.Annie noticed Holly staring at the pile of torn scraps, so out of curiosity, she asked the store attendant, "How much for that?"The attendant held two fingers up. "200 thousand dollars."Annie's eyes widened in shock. "200 thousand dollars for a pile of scrap paper? Why don't you rob a bank while you're at it?"Unperturbed, the attendant said with a smile, "That was originally Shadow Scape, a painting by Dorian Hodge. It was damaged in the war. If not for that

In just three days, Holly managed to piece together the painting Shadow Scape by Dorian Hodge. It hadn't been easy for her either, considering how torn up it had been. Once it was all pieced together, she started the restoration process.With great effort, she finally made the painting look flawless again. She was quite pleased with the results.The painting had a solemn and majestic air to it, defined by both its bold colors and simple composition.In terms of concept and composition, Dorian had gone against the conventional styles of painters before him. He skillfully employed various techniques to create a bold yet restrained style with his brushstrokes. The flowers in the painting looked like they were elegantly swaying in the wind, in stark contrast to the trees that were stout and mighty.Now that the painting was fully restored, it was time to find a buyer.Holly called Annie and asked, "Which auction house in Jardington is most reliable?"Annie was flabbergasted. "The p

The employer that the staff member had spoken of was the man Holly saw in the lobby—the one whose eyes looked so similar to Abel's.Holly froze. Now that she saw him up close, his eyes looked exactly the same as Abel's. However, that was the only part of him that looked the same. His nose, face, complexion, and height were all different.The Abel that Holly remembered was a fair and scrawny teenager who looked like he stepped out of a comic book.The man before her now had tanned skin and a muscular physique. His hair was cut short, and his features were bold and defined. Everything about him screamed manliness.Annie's eyes were shining as she muttered, "He's so young and handsome."The man got up from his seat and walked over to them.Holly stood in silence as she stared at his eyes. They looked like the keys to the painful memories she kept locked away—memories that were too painful to even think of.The man approached Holly and held his right hand out as he said respectfully

Although Abelin's voice was different from Abel's, it somehow made Holly feel as though Abel was the one who called out to her.She froze briefly before drying her eyes and turning around to look at Abelin.His handsome face looked nothing like Abel's.Regaining her composure, Holly smiled and asked, "Yes, Mr. Gabelman?"Abelin took out a name card and came over to her. "Here's my name card. Feel free to get in touch with me if you ever need anything.""Okay," Holly said as she took the name card with both hands."We deal with many high-end collectors, including art connoisseurs. Would you be open to helping out if any of our clients wish to hire a restorer?""Of course," Holly replied.Abelin smiled and said, "That's settled, then. I'll call you when I need your help.""Okay," Holly said as she put his name card in her bag.Once Annie and Holly got into the elevator, Annie eyed Holly and remarked, "I get the feeling that you and Mr. Gabelman have something going on. But base

Amused, Bryce stroked Holly's head and said, "You seem very pleased with yourself, Holls.""Is that a compliment or an insult?" Holly huffed."A compliment, of course."Holly rolled her eyes and retorted, "I'm not a fool."She stuffed a piece of steak into Bryce's mouth. Once he chewed and swallowed, he asked, "You sold off the painting you've been restoring the last few days?""Yeah. We found a buyer who liked the painting. We only paid ten thousand dollars for a bunch of scraps, but we managed to sell it off for 12 million dollars! The buyer paid in full right there and then," Holly said."How incredible of you to make a profit of over 11 million dollars with just ten thousand dollars as your initial capital," Bryce praised.Holly set her cutlery down and cleared her throat. Then, she looked at him solemnly and said, "I'm going to earn a lot of money and work hard to be worthy of you."Chuckling, Bryce placed his hand on hers and assured her, "You're more than worthy of me al

However, Bryce thought Holly was just trying to protect Abelin by hiding the truth.On the day of Winona's burial, Bryce saw Abelin twice.Abelin had openly stood on the bridge across the pond, staring at Holly with a deep, affectionate gaze.Soon after Holly got injured, Samantha's left hand was also wounded, with four fingers sustaining the damage, too.After slapping Holly, Samantha was also beaten until her entire face swelled up, and it happened that very night.If Abel was truly dead, how could these uncanny coincidences be explained?The only plausible explanation was that Abel hadn't died after all. He changed his appearance and became Abelin Gabelman instead.Or, the other possibility was that Holly was lying.Between the two, Bryce wanted to believe the first explanation the most.Knowing that Holly's mood would dip whenever Abel was mentioned, Bryce stopped arguing with her. He quietly cut a piece of foie gras and fed it to her while saying, "Eat up. You've worked h

Holly's heart missed a beat as she slowly turned around. She saw Bryce standing outside the restroom and looking at them calmly.She finally realized why Samantha had leaned in and whispered the words to her. It was to antagonize her so that she would lash out.Previously, Bryce took Holly's side because Samantha had hit her first. But this time, she was the one who hit Samantha.Holly stared at Bryce in silence, waiting for his response.However, when she saw that he was simply looking at them in silence, she realized his silence proved his support for her. After all, she had made the first move this time.Nevertheless, due to the business partnerships between Gabelman Group and Cott Group, he couldn't be too open about it.Having figured this out, Holly felt confident enough to eye Samantha coldly and remark, "You're such a strange woman. He's my husband, and he treats both my family and me so well. Why wouldn't I be sweet and gentle with him?"Meanwhile, you're the woman who'

Cupping her cheek, Samantha left Rev with Moses, feeling rather peeved.As soon as they got out of the restaurant, she complained to Moses, "Aren't you my brother? Why didn't you stand up for me when she slapped me in the face? You dragged me out of the restaurant instead."Moses turned his head and looked at her face. There was a visible patch of redness on her cheek.His gaze was dark as he asked, "What did you say to her that made her slap you so hard?""All I did was say that her grandma died at the perfect time to stop her from getting a divorce. How's that so bad?" Samantha grumbled angrily.She only did it to get Bryce's sympathy, but even though Holly hit her this time, Bryce didn't take her side. She was infuriated that her plan didn't work.Moses' lips twitched. "That explains why she slapped you. I would've done it, too, if I were in her shoes. You should watch yourself next time."Samantha side-eyed him and said, "Sometimes I wonder if you're Holly's brother instead.

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
