Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 165

**TITLE: Dreams Refuse Gravity by Leo Arden Knox**

**Chapter 165: Break His Wrist**

Without a moment’s hesitation, Riley lifted her leg and delivered a swift kick, connecting solidly with Bryce’s chest.

In an instant, Bryce was propelled backward, as if he were nothing more than a ragdoll, crashing to the ground in an ungainly heap.

The sudden disturbance sent ripples of curiosity through the crowd of guests nearby. Heads turned, and whispers filled the air as they sought to understand the unfolding drama.

“What happened here?” Sebastian’s voice cut through the murmur as he approached, his brow furrowed in concern. His eyes darted from the fallen Bryce to Riley, searching for signs of distress. “Are you okay?”

“It’s nothing to worry about. Just a minor incident,” Riley replied, attempting to downplay the situation with a lightness that belied the tension in the air.

Yet, Sebastian’s gaze was already drawn to her right arm.

A dark stain had begun to seep through the beige fabric of her sleeve, right at the site of the bandage. His jaw tightened, a flicker of worry crossing his features.

“Did your wound reopen?” he asked, his tone sharper than he intended.

“Probably when Bryce grabbed me. It’s fine. I’ll take care of it when I get home,” Riley reassured him, her voice steady.

To her, it was merely a small inconvenience—a little blood that would be dealt with in due time.

But Sebastian’s expression darkened further, his focus now zeroed in on Bryce, who was groaning as he struggled to push himself up from the ground.

“That was you?” Sebastian’s voice was cold, each word laced with a chilling contempt.

Bryce, still seething from the public humiliation, wasted no time in retaliating. “She’s probably the one who sent that message to smear Bella! I just asked her for her phone!”

Sebastian took a step closer, his presence imposing and unyielding. “You demanded her phone?” he asked, disbelief mingling with fury.

“Yeah! If she’s innocent, then what’s the big deal? Just show the phone and prove it!” Bryce shot back defiantly, but the bravado in his voice was faltering.

Sebastian halted right in front of him, an aura of danger radiating from him that sent a shiver down Bryce’s spine.

“You grabbed her with your right hand, didn’t you?” Sebastian’s gaze dropped to the blood staining Bryce’s fingertips, a silent accusation that hung heavily in the air.

Bryce followed his gaze, finally noticing the faint streaks of red. “I didn’t know she was hurt! If she had just handed me the—”

“She owes you nothing!” Sebastian interrupted, his voice cutting like a knife.

And then, before anyone could fully process the moment, a sharp crack echoed through the space.

In a swift, fluid motion, Sebastian seized Bryce’s wrist and twisted it, a sickening sound following as he snapped it with a decisive force.

Bryce collapsed to his knees, a look of shock and pain etched across his face as he clutched his arm, the unnatural angle of it a clear indication of the injury.

“Sebastian!” Bella’s voice rang out, filled with disbelief as she rushed forward. “You can’t just go around breaking bones! This is too much!”
