Chapter 140

Author: Summer Blossom
Julian thought back to what Yosef had said at the police station, the times in college when Macie and Edward had the chance to cross paths, and how Macie had secured a private investment of ten million dollars for his startup two years ago.

Suddenly, he froze. A thought hit him hard. He blurted, "Macie, tell me. Did Mr. Fowler Senior force you to marry Edward because of that investment?"

If Macie had been pushed into marrying Edward because of the money, then Yosef would be the one to blame. He would have been the one who had ruined her life.

"No, Julian. It's not like that—" Macie heard the panic in his voice and hurried to explain.

"It has to be that! Don't lie to me! Why else would you suddenly marry Edward? And why would Mr. Fowler Senior say he was the one who wronged you?" Julian cut her off.

"It's really not what you think. Please don't put that kind of pressure on yourself," Macie said again, trying to reassure him.

"How could I not?" Julian snapped. "I practically put yo

    Sean stepped out of the ballroom and called Alice's number. When she picked up, he immediately asked her about her injury.At that moment, in Macie's living room, Alice blinked in surprise and said, "I haven't even told you yet, Sean. How did you know?"Then she thought of one possibility. "Did Elias tell you?"Sean hummed in confirmation. Alice assured Sean that her ankle was fine. She had already gone to the hospital. It was just a mild sprain, with no fractures or ligament damage.Only then did Sean relax. If it had been a fracture, he wouldn't have settled for just an apology from Sharon.He repeated what Elias had told him. After hearing that, Alice was so furious that she started cursing. "No wonder those crazy women suddenly came at me. So it was Sharon behind it!"Sitting in the living room, Macie turned her head sharply at Alice's words.Alice was still on the phone with Sean. He told her that he had already stood up for her, demanding both an apology and compensation.

    Elias looked around until he spotted Sean, then called him aside and laid everything out. Since Alice had been humiliated for no reason that night and even had red wine poured on her, he knew that she definitely wasn't going to let it slide. Rather than wait for the Hart family to uncover the truth, he decided that it was better to come clean himself and apologize on Sharon's behalf.After hearing Elias' brief explanation, Sean just looked at him in silence. However, his expression had already turned stormy.From targeting Macie to going after Alice, it seemed that Sharon was becoming increasingly out of control."So when you said earlier that you just happened to run into Alice, that was a lie," Sean said flatly.Elias nodded. "Ms. Hart was being harassed. I stepped in to help and took her to the lounge. I brought her some medical supplies.""Medical supplies?" Sean frowned."She twisted her ankle when she fell. It's a little swollen," Elias replied."Who pushed her?" Sean aske

    Elena's expression changed drastically the moment she heard the name "Mr. Hale". After all, Elias had stepped in to help Alice earlier."You have the right to remain silent," Mitch said, his smile cold. "But Mr. Hart's background is not something a family of your status can go up against."Besides, Mr. Hale is very close to the Hart family. So even without them stepping in, I'll handle this for him."As soon as those words landed, Elena went pale.It was no wonder Mitch had come looking for her. It turned out that Elias was the one who stood up for Alice.But Elena thought that it didn't quite add up. After all, Sharon had made it clear that Elias didn't even like Alice. She'd even said that she'd never allow someone like Alice to marry into the Hale family."You're still not talking?" Mitch's deadly calm voice dropped lower. "Do you want your family's company to go bankrupt overnight? Do you want to be kicked out of Williamford and blacklisted from the social circle for good?"

    Sean was slightly surprised and asked, "Why would Alice ask you to pass a message?""I just happened to run into her," Elias said simply.Sean didn't press further. He simply nodded in acknowledgement.As he watched the Hales leave, Sean rubbed his chin thoughtfully, thinking that the situation was strange. After all, wasn't Alice always bitter about Sharon? And seeing Elias usually just irritated her further. How could it be a mere coincidence, and yet she felt comfortable enough to have him relay a message?...Meanwhile, Alice had called her driver outside the ballroom. Once he arrived, he helped her into the car."Ms. Hart, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup," the driver said."No need. I've already applied some medicine. It doesn't hurt much now," Alice replied."The spray numbs the pain and cools the area, but it can mask how serious the injury really is. If there's any damage to the bone, that's no small matter," the driver insisted.He drove her straight to th

    After helping Alice to the lounge behind the ballroom, Elias waited outside while Alice went in to change. In the meantime, he asked someone to bring him medical supplies.When Alice came out, she was surprised to see Elias still there, holding a bottle of spray, a roll of gauze and bandages.Naturally, she didn't expect someone like Elias to personally assist her in applying it. She reached out to take it and said, "Thanks."Elias handed it over and asked, "Do you need someone to take you to the hospital?"Alice shook her head. "It's not that bad. I'll be fine after some rest."Elias nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Alice looked at his back and suddenly called out, "Hey—"She stopped mid-sentence, realizing that it sounded too casual. She wouldn't have cared before, but that night, he had helped her. She corrected herself as Elias turned around."Mr. Hale," she said.He looked at her."Did you help me just now because of the ties between our families and the ongoing bus

    Alice heard the familiar voice. Before she could even lift her head, a large hand extended in front of her.She paused for a second, then looked up and met that calm, handsome face.Honestly, she was a little surprised. After all, wasn't Elias supposed to be against her because of Sharon? Alice didn't know why he would step in to help her.The offered hand remained there, steady and polite, but Alice didn't plan to take it. She was determined to stand up on her own."This isn't the time to be stubborn," Elias said flatly.Alice hesitated but eventually reached out. The moment her hand met his—broad, steady, and strong—he effortlessly lifted her to her feet with a firm pull.Because of her twisted ankle, Alice stumbled slightly. Elias noticed this and shifted his grip from her hand to her arm, holding her steady.Alice grabbed onto his arm, and her first thought was that it felt firm under her touch. She realized that Elias definitely worked out. His core strength was ridiculous.
