Semua Bab She Wows the World Post-divorce: Bab 301 - Bab 310

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 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

Brandon was visibly upset. He rubbed his chest as he struggled to catch his breath. His face reddened as it contorted with pain.Penelope was stunned. It was her first time seeing him so upset. She stood up and walked over to him, reaching out to soothe his chest.She then said somewhat appeasingly, "Why are you getting so worked up, Dad? It's not worth affecting your health over just one client. You have so many clients anyway. It wouldn't make much difference with or without him."Brandon slapped her hand away and said, "Nonsense! Hunter isn't your average client. His transactions with me surpass a billion dollars each year! The profit margin from the antique market is high, and I usually earn half of it!"Penelope choked up upon hearing the amount mentioned. They had indeed missed out on a huge opportunity over a small mistake.However, she blamed it on Brandon and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, then? I thought it was only a matter of one painting."Brandon never expec

Arthur dared not delay any further upon hearing Olivia's outburst.Halfway through the meeting, he handed his remaining tasks to his deputy and left the company. He then rushed back to Gabelman Manor in the shortest time possible.As soon as Arthur stepped into the manor, he saw Olivia standing in the courtyard, leaning on her cane. Her eyes were glaring, and she looked formidable.She usually paid attention to her appearance and was also strong-willed. She wouldn't use a cane to maintain her graceful demeanor. But she brought it out today. It was a silver, ruby-studded cane. Arthur was the one who bought it for her three years ago.Finding something amiss, he put on a smile and asked, "What's going on, Mom? Why are you getting so worked up all of a sudden?"Olivia was about to throw a fit when she saw the slender glass bottle in Arthur's hand. Then, she got even more annoyed.She jutted her chin and spat, "Why did you bring a glass bottle over when I asked you to come here? Ar

Samantha was sitting on the living room couch in the Cott residence.She was staring unblinkingly at Holly, who was appraising antiques on the TV. Her gaze gradually grew sinister, as if she were looking at an eyesore.Quirina brought a plate of sliced honeydew over to her side and placed it on the coffee table.She picked up the remote control to turn off the TV. "Stop watching it. You've been on it for the whole day. Are you hooked?"Samantha didn't respond to her. She sat unmoving with a darkened expression.Quirina used a fork to pick up a piece of honeydew and stuff it into Samantha's mouth. "Have some fruit."Samantha begrudgingly chewed on the fruit and said angrily, "How could a woman from some valley be better than me? Why is she on TV?"Quirina snorted and said, "Isn't it easy for you to get on TV? Get your dad to sponsor some shows and book you in if you want."Samantha said, "What fun would there be?"Quirina gave her a sideways glance and asked, "What do you want,
