  Alice thought that Sean's explanation made sense.Still, one couldn't blame her for jumping to conclusions. After all, anyone in the arms business was bound to be associated with shady organizations. Moreover, once a stereotype took hold, it was hard to dismiss it."Most of Lyron Group's subsidiaries are legitimate and operate within the law. They're industry leaders in multiple sectors," Sean continued. "Elias also has a good reputation. He doesn't seem like the reckless type."Alice scoffed. "Sharon's his long-lost sister. The two of them have been apart for 20 years. He'd do anything for her.""I'll talk to Elias. He probably wouldn't let Sharon get away with breaking the law," he said. "Besides, there's the Fowler family. Mr. Fowler Senior won't just stand by and watch."After hearing that, she fell silent. All that mattered to her was Macie's safety.Just then, the siblings arrived at the restaurant. Alice followed Sean inside, and a waiter led them to their table."You're

  Julian hesitated when he heard Macie suggest that he leave.Macie looked so pale and fragile that he wanted to stay a little longer. He didn't need to talk. Just sitting there keeping her company would be enough."You should rest. I'll just sit here quietly for a while before I go. I promise I won't disturb you," he insisted.Macie paused, unsure of how to refuse him a second time. Fortunately, Alice stepped in and grabbed his arm to pull him toward the door."Come on, Julian. May can't sleep properly with you here. Don't you think it's a little weird to just sit by someone's bed and stare at them?" she asked."It's not like it's the middle of the night or anything. What's weird about it?" Julian protested, clearly reluctant to leave.Alice looked at him. She was practically ready to spell out that Macie didn't want him there."Patients need a tranquil environment. Having you here changes the whole atmosphere," Sean said. He stepped forward and effortlessly guided Julian away—

  "I think that Ms. Smith has just given up," Nolan said, sighing. "She's been disappointed so many times over the past two years that there's no point in saying anything anymore."Yosef pursed his lips. When he recalled how Macie had wanted nothing more than to stay far away from Edward, he let out a long sigh. As someone who'd lived through his share of heartbreak, he understood her.Yosef lamented, "During the two years when May loved Edward the most, he hurt her repeatedly until she finally divorced him, and her heart turned to stone. But now, Edward loves her more than ever..."Why can't anyone in our family have a smooth love life? It's always this twisted mess of pain and regret."But what was done was done. No amount of talking could turn back time or undo the damage Edward had caused Macie. It was too late to make any changes. The two of them were destined for tragedy, and the wounds would never fully heal."Don't tell Edward any of this," Yosef instructed. "If he finds out

  "I thought you were going to use the Hale family's money to make sure that Sharon leaves you alone from now on," Sean said, with a raised eyebrow and a mischievous grin.Macie remained silent."But Edward owes you, too. So, why don't you take money from the Fowlers?" Alice asked, confused."I deserve this entanglement. If I hadn't been so greedy back then, I wouldn't be dealing with the consequences today," Macie replied calmly.The Fowler family didn't owe her anything because she had chosen to marry Edward willingly. As for being hurt by him, most of that stemmed from Sharon making the first move against her.She had always known that Edward loved Sharon, so he would naturally take Sharon's side against her, regardless of the circumstances. Macie understood this perfectly well, yet she had still walked into that trap back then.But there was something even more important to consider. She couldn't break free from Edward on her own, but fortunately, Yosef was on her side and woul

  "Elias' assistant wants to see you to discuss compensation," Nolan replied.The moment he said that, Macie, Alice, Sean, and Julian froze. They seemed genuinely surprised.Alice was the first to connect the dots."So Sharon was behind the drugging and abduction attempt. Is Elias trying to buy our silence with money?" she blurted out.Seeing how they'd completely misunderstood the situation, Nolan quickly waved his hands to clarify. "No, that's not it. They haven't caught the perpetrator yet, and we don't know who's really behind this," he said.He sighed to himself, thinking that everyone was convinced that Sharon was guilty and misunderstood Elias as her accomplice."Look, Ms. Emerson has hurt Ms. Smith multiple times before, right? And there was that attempted abduction incident recently," he quickly continued before they could derail the conversation again.He added, "So, Mr. Hale sent someone to discuss compensation to make up for the harm Ms. Emerson has caused Ms. Smith."

  Yosef said, "I know that Edward is dutiful and would never gamble with the family's future. Before this, he had no real adversaries. That's why he could act however he pleased without consequences."Now he does have one. Let him suffer a crushing defeat to knock down his confidence and teach him some humility."His main goal was to make Edward completely give up on Macie. That was his priority at the moment."Don't you dare go telling him any of this. What I said about writing my will in May's ward was genuine. Go have the staff prepare the paperwork," Yosef reminded Nolan.Hearing that, Nolan sighed to himself. Just as he reached the door, Yosef called out to him."One more thing. Don't breathe a single word to Edward about Elias wanting to discuss compensation with May. If Alice and the others hear about it, make sure they keep their mouths shut too," he said.Nolan nodded.Yosef stared at the doorway, lost in thought.If Edward found out that Elias was willing to offer compe
