Chapter 168

Author: Summer Blossom
Macie didn't say anything. She looked over at Alice, who stood frozen in shock. She hadn't had the chance to come clean with the latter, and panic briefly surged through her.

"May, do you know Edward?" Alice finally asked.

"I'll explain later," Macie said, then tried to pull her arm away.

"Why not now? Is your relationship with me so shameful that you can't even speak about it?" Edward snapped, his voice tight with anger.

Alice's eyes widened when she heard his words. She looked from Edward's furious expression to Macie's face, which was full of disgust and rejection.

She didn't know what was going on and wondered if Macie and Edward knew each other that well.

Edward's way of speaking to Macie implied that there was something between them, prompting Alice to wonder about the nature of their relationship.

"If you already know, why are you asking?" Macie shouted as she struggled against Edward's grip, glaring at him.

Edward stared back, his grasp tightening around her as his eye

    Elias said all of this with a calm expression. He never raised his voice beyond what was necessary. In the end, he didn't lash out at Sharon as harshly as he could have. As he turned to leave, he added one last thing, "Alice only went after you because you went after her friend first. If she had targeted you for no reason, I would've held her accountable."After this, let this grudge between you two end. And stay away from Macie, too. I'll be keeping a close eye on you."With that, he walked straight back to the suite next door. Sharon stood frozen, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Her teeth nearly broke the skin of her lip from biting down hard.Elias had dug too deep, uncovered too much. What if he uncovered her real identity?Sharon doubted that would happen. After all, the orphanage had been taken care of long ago. The records had been altered and scrubbed clean. There were no loose ends.Everything was in order, except for Macie's admission

    Sharon said nothing. She just cried. Elias stood there silently, waiting for her to finish.The standoff lasted for about a minute or two. Elias didn't try to comfort her. Eventually, Sharon lowered her head, thinking that there was no point in denying it anymore.Through sobs, she said, "I'm sorry, Elias. I just can't forget how Alice hurt me."You say I humiliated her. But what about how she humiliated me first? The shame I endured wasn't any less than hers. That day outside the private room, you heard how Alice cursed at me. Because of her and Sean, I spent 15 days in the detention center."She poured out all the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of the Hart siblings, making it clear that she was simply retaliating against their earlier treatment of her. She also tried to play the victim, hoping to gain sympathy.And it worked. Elias felt a sharp pain in his chest. He knew that Alice was very hostile toward Sharon. Moreover, Sean had really sent Sharon to the detentio

    "By the way, May, I didn't mention earlier that it was Elias who helped me out of the venue. I figured that I shouldn't say anything nice about him since he's Sharon's brother and technically your enemy," Alice said."It's fine," Macie replied."Honestly, though, Sharon's brother, Elias, isn't a bad person. At least he knows right from wrong. As for how he spoils Sharon without question…" Macie paused. "That part's a little enviable."To have an older brother with power, someone who shielded her from everything, stood up for her, and served as her constant refuge—Sharon had it all handed to her. That was simply her fate.That thought stirred something in Macie—a hazy memory, long buried by suddenly surfacing.She remembered having an older brother once. He would lift her onto his shoulders and run around, making her feel as though she was flying. He had adored her.Macie thought that if she ever found her family again, then she probably wouldn't have to envy anyone else."Sharon

    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?"
