  Mitch looked at Alice, puzzled. "I'm sorry, miss, but… what exactly do you mean by that?"Alice answered bluntly, not bothering to sugarcoat her words. "I figured that your boss would send you here with a suitcase full of cash to throw in my friend's face to remind her of her place and warn her not to mess with Sharon."After hearing that, Mitch broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Hale did no such thing! He truly wants to make it up to Ms. Smith. There's no hidden agenda, and this isn't some veiled threat."He then turned to the woman on the hospital bed and added, "Ms. Smith, please believe me when I say that I'm here on Mr. Hale's behalf. Everything I say reflects his intentions." He tried his best to convey sincerity through his tone and expression, but it felt like she was treating him as the villain in this story.Macie met his gaze before saying, "Please, have a seat, Mr. Keane."Mitch pulled over a chair and sat down, holding a draft document that outlined

  It wasn't long before Nolan arrived with a light breakfast. He set it down and advised Edward earnestly, "Mr. Fowler, you're still young. Why are you punishing your body like this? Alcohol might numb the pain for a while, but it won't solve anything. It will only hurt your body in the long run."You still have a bright future ahead of you. If you're feeling overwhelmed, please don't hesitate to talk to me. I'll listen. Let me help you through this." Edward listened silently, his expression blank. No one could solve his problems. Not even his wealth could save him this time. It was useless against the Hale family, and it certainly couldn't buy Macie's love.…Edward didn't go to work that morning; he just sat on the hospital bed, staring blankly out the window. Nolan watched him from the side. Edward no longer looked like his usual self. The once-confident man who used to radiate ambition was gone. All that was left was a hollow shell. Nolan couldn't help but feel a twinge of sor

  Edward's stomach started twisting and cramping, clawing at him from the inside. The pain was so sharp that it left him curled up on the ground.He fumbled for his phone and managed to dial emergency services. Sweat poured down his forehead as he gritted his teeth. When the ambulance arrived, the bodyguards stationed around the building, tasked with watching every exit, were shocked to see him being carried out on a stretcher. They hurriedly reported the situation to Nolan.They were outside to avoid disturbing the residents of the apartment complex. No one had expected Edward to collapse inside and, worse, be the one to call for help himself. They couldn't imagine what would've happened if he had passed out before making the call.…Nolan rushed straight to the hospital at midnight and was informed that Edward had suffered acute stomach spasms brought on by excessive drinking and that doctors were already treating him. He was worried sick.Nolan told Yosef about what caused it,

  Sean casually commented, "Alice, you and Xavier got along surprisingly well tonight. I thought you guys had some kind of conflict.""Nothing of the sort happened," Alice responded."But didn't you say that you didn't want to see him at first? Plus, the way he talked about you before… sounded off," he explained."Oh, please, you're overthinking it," she said solemnly. "I've seen women get all emotional, but you're a guy."He grumbled inwardly, "If it weren't for the fact that one was like his sister and the other his best friend, he wouldn't even bother paying this much attention."He explained, "Xavier's practically your older brother, too. You should treat him just like you would anyone else. You don't have to be so stiff and formal."Alice turned around and asked, "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with how I behave around him?"He shot back, "You tell me. Your voice was so high-pitched. Do you think that's normal?"She was rendered speechless. She wondered if she ha

  "Xavier, you're good-looking, talented, and incredibly thoughtful. Not many women can resist your charm," Alice said sincerely.Xavier stared at her, feeling a bit shy from the unexpected compliment. "I'm alright. Don't believe everything your brother says. He tends to exaggerate," Xavier said, grinning modestly.She returned his smile, thinking to herself, "Exaggerate? If anything, my brother was being polite. A whole football team of exes sounds about right."Sean, who was sitting beside her, watched the two of them exchange compliments and thought that he might be wrong about them. They seemed to get along just fine. There was nothing strange between them at all. Their conversation was cut short when their food arrived. As they ate, it became increasingly obvious that Xavier was incredibly thoughtful. He took better care of Alice than Sean did as her brother, behaving like a true gentleman.Every time she accepted something from him, she thanked him sweetly with a gentle smile

  Across the table, Alice didn't miss the few seconds Xavier spent staring at her. She could tell that he had a thing for her. Since she had decided to get back at him, she had done her homework and studied all the women he had dated, spotting patterns and adjusting her own demeanor accordingly. She even practiced her smiles in the mirror to hit just the right note."We're ordering two desserts? I remember you loved sweets back in high school, Ali, but your older brother kept a tight leash on you," Xavier said, smiling as he looked up."I can't believe you still remember that, Xavier." Alice smiled bashfully."Of course I do. I remember everything about you," Xavier responded as if it was a line he'd delivered a hundred times. Alice plastered a smile on her face but rolled her eyes inwardly. She couldn't believe how he could sweet-talk anyone with a heartbeat while sounding sincere about it."She was breaking out badly back then. Sweets only made it worse," Sean cut in dryly. He
