She Wows the World Post-divorce Chapter 87
Due to the strong winds, the river kept churning with waves. The area was also surrounded by trees. It was a desolate corner with not a single human in sight.Staring out the window of the car, Holly saw the fierce gushing of the river and asked in confusion, "Why are we here?""Let's get down," Bryce said before opening the door and stepping out of the car. Holly did likewise.Bryce passed the car keys to her and said, "Help me get something out of the trunk."Puzzled, Holly took the keys and went to the back of the car.When she opened the trunk, her heart jumped, and her eyes lit up in surprise.The trunk was filled with red roses—the special kind that was imported. Each rose petal was almost as large as the palm of her hand. The petals felt as soft as silk and were a brilliant, intoxicating red. The graceful curves of the roses made them look even more elegant.They were gorgeous.With one hand in his pocket, Bryce leaned against the car and looked at the dazed Holly as h

Bryce's eyes glittered ever so briefly as he pushed himself up and hovered over Holly. Pursing his lips, he observed her for a while.At last, he pecked her nose and muttered, "You'd better keep your word."Holly hummed in acknowledgment, but that wasn't enough for Bryce."You're not taking it seriously. Say it again," Bryce commanded.Holly wanted to laugh. Bryce was the one who decided the state of their relationship, but he was acting as though she didn't want him.After pondering briefly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered into his ear, "Many people like you because you're handsome, rich, and powerful. Some like you because they've seen you at your lowest and feel empathy for you."And, there was one who sat by your side in silence—who only wanted to lend you a shoulder and share her candy with you."Bryce's gaze stiffened. He cupped her face and pressed his face against hers.It was a while before he finally said, "I only wanted you to stir up a bit more pa

Abelin paused briefly before saying, "That works. I took a picture of the painting earlier, so I'll send it to you later.""That won't be necessary. I have it memorized. I promise the replica will look exactly the same," Holly assured.After a moment of silence, Abelin said quietly, "You're still as incredible as ever."Holly's heart missed a beat. "What did you say?"Abelin chuckled and said a little louder, "I said you're almost more incredible than I expected."Holly figured she must've heard him wrong earlier. "I was trained to do it ever since I was a child, so it's a skill developed through practice.""Let's just put your signature on the painting. I have faith that you'll be famous one day. Once you do, the replica you made of Shadow Scape will be worth a fortune, too," Abelin said."You're too kind," Holly said demurely, though she was thrilled to receive such recognition from him.Once the call ended, Holly went to her study and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door

Knowing Bryce might've gotten angry, Holly hastily explained, "He kept the painting in his office, and one of his regular clients bought it for 13 million dollars. He then transferred the extra one million dollars to me. I wanted to return the money to him, but he asked me to buy him a meal instead."I rejected that idea and decided to make him a replica of the painting, but he now wants to treat me to dinner. I couldn't say no, so my only option now is to bring you along. I'll ask Annie to come with me if you're busy."As soon as she finished speaking, Bryce replied, "I'm not busy.""Thank you," Holly said with a smile.…At 6:00 pm the next day, Holly and Bryce arrived at the restaurant.The restaurant owner was said to have come from a long line of chefs who cooked for royalty before. He only served eight tables a day and would only prepare a chef's menu of eight dishes per table. Customers weren't allowed to order what they wanted, and he never made extra, either.Even so, b

Noticing the still-stormy expression on Bryce's face, Holly picked up a spoonful of risotto and brought it to his mouth, saying with a smile, "Try some of this risotto. It's the perfect comfort food after a long day of work."Bryce didn't object. As he slowly chewed the risotto, his expression returned to normal.Holly secretly exhaled in relief. Thankfully, she had managed to smooth things over.Prior to this dinner, she never expected the courteous and gentlemanly Bryce to have such a stubborn side.He was known as the shrewd and charismatic genius of the business world, but just moments ago, he was acting like a jealous schoolboy. It was rather unlike him.While Holly was caught up in her thoughts, Bryce took up a spoonful of the bouillabaisse and held it up to her. Gazing gently at her, he said pleasantly, "You've been up for many nights working on the painting. I'm sure you're exhausted. Have some of this bouillabaisse. The vitamins and minerals from the shellfish are good

"I don't know what you're talking about," Abelin said coldly.Bryce's gaze turned meaningful after he glanced at the broken cigarette in Abelin's hand. He said, "Holly's my wife. No matter what your last name is, don't disturb her."Abelin shrugged and said with a provocative expression, "What are you afraid of?"Bryce's eyes turned a little icy as he eyed Abelin. He began to exude a chilly air.Abelin responded with a challenging smirk.Chuckling, Bryce tapped his cigarette on the ashtray before remarking, "Holly took the initiative to invite me to dinner today. You saw for yourself just how much she cares about me."His voice was deep, and a faint smile seemed to dance on the corners of his lips. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.Abelin stiffened, his smile fading."Take good care of her," he said before getting up to leave.Bryce's eyes were as cold as ice as he retorted, "You're an outsider. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to express so much concern for my w

Holly underwent two months of rehabilitation for her left hand. Having almost regained full use of it, she returned to work at Treasure Grove.As soon as she walked in, she saw Shawn standing at the counter with a massive magnifying glass in hand. He was studying a historical painting to discern its authenticity.While passing by, she glanced at the painting. It was the painting Trees and Leaves by Zachary Quine.When Holly first started training to be a restorer, she practiced creating replicas of Zachary's paintings. Thus, she could identify them with just a single glance.Shawn adjusted his glasses before asking the seller, "How much do you plan on selling it for?"The seller was a shabbily dressed middle-aged man. He was hunched over with his hands hidden in his sleeves. "This painting, Tree and Leaves by Zachary Quine, is a family heirloom of mine. I wouldn't be selling it now if I didn't have to. "I looked up how much his paintings sold for at auctions in recent years, and

Shawn's expression turned dark at once as sweat dripped down his back.He was truly grateful that Holly came in time. Otherwise, he would've been fooled. He would've lost a fortune if he had paid tens of millions of dollars for that painting.More importantly, he would lose all credibility in this field.When Holly first joined Treasure Grove, Hayden instructed Shawn to consult with Holly if he ever had any questions about something. At the time, Shawn felt disgruntled, but now, he was well and truly convinced of her capabilities."How did you figure it out?" he asked respectfully.Holly smiled.Although the parchment, paint, and signature on the painting were all authentic, she found tiny fibers that hadn't been cleared off cleanly upon taking a closer look.However, she didn't tell Shawn that. She merely said, "It was a gut feeling. I've been handling old paintings since I was a kid. Even though I'm young, I've been doing such work for nearly two decades now. "Something abou

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
