Chapter 17

Author: Summer Blossom
Edward was in a much better mood. He even crossed his legs leisurely while sipping his coffee in the office.

At exactly 5:30 pm, he got up, grabbed his coat, and clocked out to have dinner with Sharon.

As soon as he started the car, his phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the screen, and then laughed coldly before hanging up and putting it back in his pocket.

"Weren't you cursing me out just this afternoon? I called 100 times, and you ignored me. Now that you need something, you're calling me?" Edward sneered, stepping on the gas and driving off.

He could already guess why Macie was calling. He figured that it was probably about money for her hospital stay. After all, where else would she get the money when she hadn't worked in the past two years?

Thinking about all the times he'd put up with her and all the kindness that went unappreciated, he gripped the steering wheel tighter. Just the night before, she had splashed water on him and gone crazy, hitting him with a toilet brus

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 806

    After hearing Mitch's suggestion, Elias didn't respond. After all, that was indeed all they could do now."Is there at least a group photo? What about an admission photo?" he asked.Mitch responded, "There's none. Ms. Emerson's record didn't have a photo either. Back then, the orphanage was so small and bare-bones, they didn't even have proper equipment."Elias pressed his lips together. This was going to make the investigation a lot more difficult."In that case, I'll head back for now, Mr. Hale. Don't worry. I'll keep following up here. The moment I hear anything, I'll let you know," Mitch reassured him."Alright," Elias said. He was about to end the call when he thought of something. "Go ask Raymond if a child had used his desk phone to contact Sharon at around 9:00 pm last night. If so, I want to know the child's name."After hearing that, Mitch relayed the question. "Yeah, a child wanted to speak with Ms. Emerson last night, saying that she missed her too much. Her name's El

    From the very beginning, when Sharon had altered the records, she'd instructed Raymond to hide Macie's record and only show the other children from the same batch. This was the reason Mitch had never seen Macie's record, and Raymond could claim ignorance."That's impossible! I've looked into her background. Macie was definitely from this orphanage," Mitch said.After hearing that, Raymond answered, "If you're certain, then her record should exist, but it might have gotten mixed in with the other folders. After all, it's been over two decades, and the directors have changed several times since. Each director reorganizes the records, and any children who were adopted in the meantime would have had their files transferred as well."Mitch frowned when he heard that. He had no idea that Macie had been adopted. That didn't match the information he had. Everything indicated that Macie had always been an orphan."I can look at the collective household register here, right?" Mitch asked. He

    Macie didn't believe the authenticity of the image she had received. She even suspected that Alice had photoshopped the screenshot just to put her at ease.Still, she knew that her friend meant well. However, in reality, she wasn't as fragile as Alice thought. Her mental resilience had always been strong.After replying to Alice's message, Macie poured herself a glass of water. As she drank, another memory from the night before suddenly came to mind. When she'd left the banquet hall after delivering the gift, there had been that man who had steadied her by the arm.She thought that he was strange. He'd asked for her name and age. If he had been attempting to hit on her, why would he ask if she had any family? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask which family she belonged to or what her parents' names were?It only struck her how odd those questions were. On top of that, his gaze was sharp. Macie didn't think that the man was hitting on her. If anything, it felt more like an interro

    Mitch froze for a moment before he picked Elias' phone up and started typing as instructed. Who else but Elias would indulge Alice like she was a child? Her request was downright unreasonable and enough to render anyone speechless. However, Elias was probably doing it out of respect for the Hart family. When Mitch thought about it, he realized that Alice had "tormented" Elias the entire day last Saturday, and yet he still spent the whole day with her. Mitch had to admit that Alice was truly fearless. He almost admired her for it. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have seen the light of day.After sending the message, Mitch handed Elias' phone back to him. By then, Elias had finished reading the five pages of information and set them down on the desk.His gaze lingered on Macie's face in the photos, from middle school to high school, and finally her college admission details, along with her grades and list of awards. If he had to describe Macie in a single word, it would

    "From now on, try not to go anywhere. Or better yet, quit your job! You've plenty of money anyway," Alice suggested over the phone."I'll be fine. If trouble's meant to find you, it will. I'm not that worried, so you don't need to be so tense, Alice," Maice responded.Macie sounded as calm as ever, but Alice still felt guilty. The latter decided to hang up and confront Elias to obtain some answers. After hanging up, she dialed his number. …Meanwhile, in the study of a hotel suite, Mitch had printed out every piece of information about Macie he could find online. Elias was reviewing it when his phone, which was lying on the table, started ringing. Mitch took a look at it and said, "It's Ms. Hart." He wondered what Alice could possibly want from Elias at this hour.Elias reached over, picked it up, and placed the call on speaker."Elias Hale, what exactly were you trying to find out about Macie tonight?" Alice demanded the moment the call connected. Her tone was anything but po

    Elias was far too suspicious by nature. If Edmund and Mira told him that they'd seen Macie that night, he'd definitely look into it.Tomorrow would be the day. Sharon would donate the money tomorrow and have them act as soon as possible. …The ball ended at 11:00 pm. As the guests dispersed and the lights dimmed, Alice sank into the car seat and grumbled, "I'm so tired! My feet are killing me, and my face feels frozen from smiling too much.""I'll have our housekeeper get you some hot water ready for a foot massage later," Diana said, smiling. "Did you get a chance to talk to Elias again?"Alice responded flatly, "No."After hearing that, Diana was perplexed. "That's strange. He personally invited you to open the dance with him. He knows what that means.""What era are we living in? The opening dance isn't a declaration of love," Alice muttered."Why else would he ask you?" Sean chimed in."How would I know?" As soon as the words rolled off her tongue, she realized that Elias
