Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 122
Clutching the strap of her bag, Macie belatedly realized a few things.Edward had already found out where she worked. She wondered if that meant that he also knew which company hired her.If that were the case, there was no way she could keep it from Julian and the others. With Edward's crazy personality, he would definitely cause a scene.Even though they were divorced and she had made it clear to him last night, he still wouldn't let go. Was he seriously planning to make her suffer for the rest of her life? Or did he expect her to accept her place while serving him and Sharon?As these thoughts raced through her mind, Macie clenched her teeth. Her face was flushed with anger.Was Edward really trying to push her to her breaking point? Was he deliberately making her life miserable here in Williamford?…Edward and Nathan stood on the first floor of the office building for over half an hour. Nathan's eyes were practically bulging out of his head from staring too hard. He fel
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 123
The realization that Macie had long planned to divorce and leave him hit Edward hard. His eyes reddened, and a wave of bitterness swept through him.He hadn't noticed a thing. Macie had seemed distant back then, but he'd brushed it off as jealousy over Sharon. It never even occurred to him that she had already given up on their marriage.She'd even brought up divorce back then and said it so calmly and coldly. Why hadn't he paid more attention?Edward thought that he might've saved his marriage if he had seen it coming. Now, all he felt was regret. The signs were clear as day, but he hadn't noticed or paid attention. He was too caught up in thinking he had feelings for Sharon.As the seconds ticked by, he still stood at the entrance of the office building. The night wind had turned cold. His whole body was stiff, and he could barely feel his legs."Mr. Fowler, here's the list of companies registered in this building. There are 23 in total, along with a few independent studios," Na
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 124
Edward thought that he could just wait around and get lucky, but he didn't realize Macie had more tricks up her sleeve than he expected.At that hour, there were barely any people around. It wasn't until after 7:00 am that the street slowly began to fill up.At that moment, a woman dressed in a black suit walked out at the subway entrance across the street. Her shoulder-length hair framed her face, and she wore sunglasses and a mask. Her purse was slung over her arm, and her posture was confident. She wore black high heels, and as she walked, she exuded an undeniable presence.It was Macie. She was almost completely disguised and did not show signs of panic or fear, even though she suspected that Edward had sent someone to watch this area.After returning home last night, she contacted Yosef and told him to rein in his grandson and stop letting him interfere with her life. Although he had agreed to her demand, she remained cautious. After all, she knew how shameless and unscr

Inside the car by the curb, Edward stared at the entrance of the commercial building. His left hand gripped the steering wheel tightly. Through clenched teeth, he asked, "Who reported it?""The person didn't leave a name, so I'm not sure," the security guard replied.Edward took a deep breath, then asked again, "Was it a man or a woman?""A woman," the guard answered."Is she young or old?" Edward pressed on."A young one," the guard said.Edward's eyes widened, and a thought immediately crossed his mind—it was Macie.He wondered when she had figured it out and when she had slipped inside the building under his nose. After all, he had been watching everyone who passed by."Can you give me her phone number?" Edward asked the security guard.The guard hesitated at the request and said, "Sorry, sir. But I can't share that information. It was just a mix-up today and didn't cause any real problems. We didn't mean to inconvenience you."He paused, then added, "I'm sure you understa
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 126
Julian took out his phone to check his messages. Macie had asked for the company's security number earlier but never said why. He still hadn't heard back from her. She had arrived early that morning, more than an hour ahead of schedule, just to avoid running into him. Sighing quietly, he shook his head.…Macie couldn't focus entirely on her tasks as she worked that morning. She kept thinking of ways to avoid Edward and make her way upstairs. She wasn't ready to talk to Julian yet. She'd only just joined the company, and the last thing she wanted was to let her personal life become office gossip.Macie was already feeling irritated, and things got worse when her team didn't cooperate, causing the project to stall. So she called a quick meeting to set things straight. "I know some of you aren't happy with me being the team leader, thinking that I don't deserve it because I've only just joined the company. But I'm only the interim team lead, and right now, I only want to finish th
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 127
Edward was shaken. Macie's cold words echoed in his ears, and he mumbled back in disbelief, "No… That's not what I meant…"Macie snapped, "You've got some nerve saying that. Then again, I guess you've always been full of yourself. You only believe your own version of the story. Even if you killed me, you'd probably say that it was suicide.""I wouldn't have! I never wanted to hurt you!" he yelled. "If you're talking about the time I pushed you, fracturing your bones, I'm sorry. I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Moving forward, I won't ask you to cook or clean. You can just stay home and—""You actually think I want to go back to that hellhole?" she cut him off coldly.That hit him hard. Panic started to bubble up in Edward's chest. It seemed that she really had no intention of coming back."Are you still mad at me? Look. I swear that it won't happen again! I've already cleared out your room. Sharon's gone," he explained. "What happened that day… I didn't mean to hur

"Have you fallen for someone else? That must be it, right?" Edward couldn't think of any other reason. This was the only explanation that seemed remotely possible."Who is he? Is it that senior of yours? When did you two start hooking up?" His voice rose in a jealous rage, accusations spilling out in a storm. But as soon as the words left his mouth, the memory of his own entanglement with Sharon and how deeply it had hurt Macie slammed into him. In that instant, even he realized that he had no right to be mad at Macie. "Break things off with him right now. I won't hold it against you," he said, attempting to hold it together. "We're even now, so let's not point fingers. Where are you? I'll come get you."On the other end of the line, Macie was so stunned by his audacity that she let out a breathless, exasperated chuckle. "Are you deaf or just stupid? I told you—I'm done. Don't you love Sharon? We're divorced now, so you two can get married. "I wish you both a lifetime of happin
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 129
"Shut up! Not you, too!" Edward exploded. "Are you deliberately rubbing salt into my wounds? Do you want me to have you pack up and leave?" With that, he furiously ended the call.On the other end of the line, Nathan stared at his phone, his expression blank. His boss had finally realized what he'd taken for granted now that he had lost his wife. But it was too late to do anything about it.…Later that night, even though he knew that he wouldn't be able to see Macie that day, Edward still waited until 10:00 pm outside the office building before reluctantly heading home. Not long after his car pulled away, a figure stepped out from the building's main entrance and made her way toward the subway entrance.Macie looked at her phone. Tomorrow was the last workday before the weekend. With two days off ahead, she was relieved she wouldn't have to worry about bumping into Edward. Nevertheless, she couldn't avoid him forever. She just hoped he'd stop acting crazy and give up soon.Her mi

When Macie heard that Edward had driven Sharon away, she was a little surprised. Alice was even more shocked, but Macie quickly said coldly, "I really did get divorced. He's the one who keeps pestering me. We're going to court next week." She glanced at Sharon. "Once that's over, Edward and I will have nothing to do with each other. Don't believe me? Come to the court yourself."Sharon frowned when she heard that, clearly unconvinced.What if they went to court and the divorce didn't go through? Then she would just end up being played yet again."May's right. She and that scumbag Edward are definitely getting divorced," Alice said mockingly. "You're the only one who still treats him like he's some kind of prize. No one else gives a damn. "You two had better lock it down. When you get married, I'll show up with a gift and wish you all the happiness in the world."Sharon shot Alice a glare. Wasn't this the same woman who had bragged last time that Edward was about to marry her?

Sean couldn't help but think to himself that he'd really gone too far. He wondered how he was any different from the bullies who had tormented Macie.He remembered how Macie had looked that morning with her anger held back, forced to endure his teasing with a fake smile. Meanwhile, he found it amusing, as if it were some kind of game to him.He couldn't believe what a monster he had been.Macie's quiet demeanor was the result of years of enduring suffering, with her anger only surfacing when she was pushed too far.Macie was a young woman with a vintage landscape as her profile picture—someone who had already seen the world's harshness and matured well beyond her years. And all of this was the result of childhood trauma and constant bullying. At this moment, Sean could no longer dismiss what Alice had told him. He fully believed her now. …After returning to her private office downstairs, Alice didn't dare admit to Macie how spineless she had felt. All she could do was firmly

"Stop it right now. Don't bully my friend anymore, or I swear I won't let you off easy," Alice warned. However, Sean didn't even flinch, arrogantly ignoring her threat.Alice was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She wouldn't win if she argued or fought with Sean. He could easily slap her down to the ground, and she wouldn't even be able to get back up. If anyone else had bullied Macie, she would have gone all in, but this person was Sean—her brother, the one who had always pushed her around since they were kids.Alice sighed, moving from anger to helplessness, feeling stuck and useless. She couldn't protect Macie and felt she wasn't a good friend. "Macie has already been through enough. Can't you show a little compassion? Stop bullying an innocent, vulnerable lady!" Alice tried softening her tone. "You don't know how much Macie has suffered. Do you even have an ounce of human decency?" She switched tactics, telling him everything she knew about Macie's past and th

It looked like Macie hadn't just been flustered—she'd fully entered rage monster mode. Sean could imagine her fists flew, as if they could actually do damage, even though they barely stung. He genuinely found it endearing.When Sean finished reading the last screenshot, he closed the chat and saw a new message from Alice. Her text read, "So, are you going to explain why you were flirting with my friend? "And what about the things you said to Edward last night? It sounds like you meant what you said. You weren't just playing along with me."Did you put your arm around Macie's waist? Hold her hand? You had better come clean!" Sean just typed a simple response. He typed, "Go ask her if I did that." Alice, on the other end, was speechless.Sometimes, Alice really wondered if Sean was just a brooding, black-bellied guy with an obsession with keeping things mysterious. She didn't respond right away. Instead, she stormed over to his office, yanked a chair out, and took a seat rig

Alice immediately called Macie, venting all her frustration about Sean. She cursed him as much as she could, even bringing up stories from their childhood to illustrate just how terrible he had been.Macie listened to how Alice described her miserable childhood, living under the shadow of Sean, enduring various "torments".As Alice spoke, Macie couldn't help but picture that insufferable face, and she felt that it wasn't surprising he could do such things. If he treated his own sister that way, what would he do to her? Indeed, some people's bad habits formed when they were young. Macie felt sympathy for Alice, and what started as one person venting turned into a united front, two people joining in on the complaints."Ugh, my brother's the worst. When we were kids, he ripped the ears off my plush bunny, and then claimed it was the turtle pillow that did it." Alice continued, venting, "I love cake, but I got cavities. He'd eat it right in front of me and mock me for not being able

Not far from Macie's workstation, Lily had been listening to their conversation, especially when Macie, with a hint of pride, casually mentioned her good relationship with Sean. Lily's fists tightened, and a flash of hatred and jealousy crossed her eyes. There was also a sense of helplessness and resentment. Julian hadn't fired her, but had only made her apologize publicly in the company's group chat, and now this happened.Macie was not only Alice's friend, but she also had a close relationship with Sean. Moreover, Julian clearly favored Macie, openly confessing his admiration for her.Macie's relationships within the department would only be stronger. Her promotion to team leader would only be a matter of time. Lily had crossed her, and sooner or later, she'd be the one getting sidelined. Lily was already worried about her future and deeply regretted causing trouble for Macie on her first day. She shouldn't have tried to embarrass her last night either. At her desk, with ju

Now that Macie knew who Sean was, she was sure she wouldn't just sit there and take it like she did that day if he ever visited again."It's my fault. I didn't know that Mr. Hart and Macie had a history," Palmer said, breaking the silence."I didn't know either," Macie replied, her voice tight. "And even if I had known, I still wouldn't have recognized Sean. I would've gone to the meeting, and I'd have still been bullied."She clenched her fists, anger rising inside her. She didn't owe Sean anything. Indeed, the two companies were collaborating, but she couldn't understand why he should make her his personal target.Still, she couldn't care less now. She would let him think whatever he wanted. He was the one who crossed the line first. Back in the design department, only Macie and Palmer remained. Palmer, still curious, asked, "Macie, did you offend Mr. Hart?" That seemed to be the only explanation for Sean's strange behavior that day. Although there had been some "tension" bet
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 219
Macie managed to hold back her anger, reminding herself that Sean was a client and that her supervisor had emphasized how important this collaboration was.Sean smiled at her. He was still watching Macie, who was silently glaring at him. He then casually pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.Macie glanced down at the card. Despite not wanting to take it, she accepted it out of politeness and flipped it over to read it.In bold, gold letters, it read, "Chief Executive Officer, Hart Group."Macie froze for a moment when she read "Hart Group". She was familiar with the name because it was Alice's family's company. And then, her eyes landed on Sean's printed name. She began to wonder if he was related to Alice.Suddenly, she looked up, her gaze shifting toward the elevator. No wonder he had seemed familiar—she now realized his features resembled Alice's.The answer was almost painfully obvious.Inside the elevator, Sean stood in front of his employees, smili

Macie clenched her fists, gritting her teeth as she took two steps forward and said, "You say five minutes, then five minutes it is. There's no need to bother the technician." She tried to remain calm, though inside she felt a little flustered. The idea that Sean would actually want to check the security footage over something so trivial seemed ridiculous. However, the fact that Sean was so insistent, almost as if he were out to get her, left her feeling uneasy. Sean, sensing her discomfort, stepped to the side and casually said, "Ms. Smith, you were so adamant in denying it earlier. Let's just check the footage anyway. I said I'd apologize if I were wrong. You have my word as a man." He was so precise with the timing, down to the second, and had even given her his solemn word. Macie couldn't help but snap. She looked up at him and, unable to hold back her anger anymore, said, "Then shouldn't you be apologizing to me for what happened that night?"I already explained everythin
