• Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 698

  "Our boss' name isn't something just anyone is qualified to know." Mitch's words were laced with contempt, but Oliver didn't dare talk back.Mitch continued," Tell the front desk to let them in. We're handling this officially, by the book."With that, he turned to head downstairs to greet Elias. Oliver nervously followed behind, trying to plead his case as they walked, repeating over and over that he wasn't the mastermind behind this and that it was all Edward's doing—that Edward was the one who told him to go after Sharon for the money.Sharon followed behind them, but she didn't go downstairs. Instead, she headed toward the dressing room area. She had barely turned the corner when she ran into a group of people. Folding her arms, she sneered coldly. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A bunch of filthy sewer rats hiding in the dark to eavesdrop."Led by Claire, the models glared at her, but none of them dared to be the first to respond. "Claire, get over here and polish my

  Sharon had picked this exact moment on purpose to speak. She had returned to her former employer's company for revenge.She hadn't mentioned the breach penalty at first, and didn't bring up her brother either. Instead, she lowered her stance and said she was just there to collect her belongings. It was all just a cover. What she was really there for was to set this whole thing up. She'd been waiting for this moment. And Oliver had walked right into it."That was just a joke. There's no way the company would actually make you pay that much. Our policies are very humane," Oliver tried to explain.Sharon stared at his fake smile and blatant denial, then scoffed. "I've never seen anyone joke about ten million dollars and jail time."Mitch backed her up immediately. "Your company used an incomplete contract to go after a former employee and demand a massive payout. That's grounds for extortion."The word "extortion" hit Oliver like a truck. His knees went weak, and his whole body wen

  "That's right. 13 people. A full legal team," the receptionist said quietly. "They're from Barron Strickland."Just hearing that there were 13 lawyers was enough to make Oliver panic. But when he heard Barron Strickland mentioned, his knees nearly gave out.Barron Strickland was the number one law firm in Williamford. It was a powerhouse known for producing the strongest attorneys in the city—the kind that could even take down a sitting judge."Are they really from Barron Strickland?" Oliver's voice trembled as he clutched the wall to steady himself and asked again for confirmation."Yes. They showed their credentials. Unless they're fake, but… I mean, who would dare forge credentials claiming to be from Barron Strickland? That's asking to get sued into oblivion," the receptionist whispered, covering her mouth so the legal team wouldn't overhear.It made sense. And Oliver was now sweating bullets.He swallowed hard and checked his phone again. He still hadn't gotten a reply from

  As the group continued chattering and panicking among themselves, Claire, the self-proclaimed leader, raised her voice and said, "Calm down, all of you." She crossed her arms. "A real brother? One's last name is Hale, and the other's Emerson. Doesn't that make you suspicious?"She scoffed. "For all we know, this is just a front. If Sharon really came from a powerful family, would she have needed to work at our company? Would she have waited until now to show up and take revenge?"The others quieted down for a beat before someone added, "Didn't we all hear that Sharon was an orphan? I'm fairly certain that the company conducted background checks at the time. I've seen her file.""Where would a brother come from then? Is he a real sibling or someone she hired to play the part?""Don't tell me she's one of those long-lost heiresses straight out of a cheesy soap opera?""That's ridiculous. If she really is some kind of heiress, then she'd pay off the penalty to prove that she has th

  "According to the contract she signed at the time, Sharon breached it voluntarily and is required to pay a penalty. Are you here to settle it on her behalf?" Oliver asked.Mitch looked at him blankly and replied, "That's exactly why I'm here."From the beginning, when Elias had looked into Sharon's background, they'd already discovered the penalty clause. But since it was Edward's deliberate sabotage, the Hales had never intended to pay. Naturally, they ignored it.And now, this company dared to come asking for it, still thinking that Sharon was some powerless pushover. Oliver completely missed the implication behind Mitch's cold demeanor. He thought that Mitch was only angry because the models had ganged up on Sharon.Now that someone had come to pay the money, he couldn't be happier. Eagerly, he gestured and smiled. "This way, please. We can discuss it in the meeting room."However, Mitch didn't move. Instead, he made the same gesture—but toward Sharon.Sharon stepped forward

  "Watch what you say. That's my brother." Sharon finally spoke up, making it clear. She had been keeping an eye on the entrance out of the corner of her eye and saw that Mitch had just arrived."Brother? Not sugar daddy? Is that what you're calling it now in your circle?" Claire sneered.No sooner had she said that than a man stepped through the door. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and was clearly a foreigner."Mr. Keane, those women were maliciously targeting Ms. Emerson and even spreading obscene rumors. Their words were downright vile," Morgan said, turning to address Mitch the moment he heard the latter's footsteps.Everyone turned their attention to the new arrival. Mitch walked over to Sharon and gave her a respectful bow before asking, "Ms. Emerson, I'm sorry I arrived late and allowed you to be frightened and humiliated."Claire and the others watched this unfold. The man who was referred to as Mr. Keane was clearly a cut above Morgan. His clothing, his mannerisms—everything a
