Chapter 228

Author: Summer Blossom
Alice knew that her own injury wasn't even worth mentioning, so she walked over to Macie and tugged up the sleeve of her shirt. She stated, "Look at this. May's arm is going to be all bruised by tomorrow."

Sean looked at the woman Alice had pulled over. Her fair, slender arm was covered in several glaring marks. It was evidently caused by someone grabbing her forcefully. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Macie felt uneasy under his stare and quickly pulled her sleeve back down. But the moment she did, Alice yanked it up again and turned toward the officers.

"Look at this. Does that woman look like she came just to talk things out? If she only wanted to talk, why did she get physical?"

The officers glanced at Macie's arm. Just then, Sean's voice cut in, cold and sharp. "My sister and her friend were attacked. I hope your station handles this seriously and doesn't let the perpetrators walk away unpunished."

The officers turned to Sean. The man had an overwhelming presence. Eve

    The men were deeply engaged in business discussions while the women were chatting idly and happily. At the quietest edge of the event space, far from the noise and buzz, Alice sat alone, sipping her champagne in boredom. She was already thinking about leaving. She didn't even know who she could meet that night.After all, all the eligible men had been drawn in by Sharon, orbiting around her like she was the sun.Alice glanced at Sean, who was still mid-conversation. So Alice decided to wait a little longer. Once he was free, she'd say a quick goodbye and slip out early.She sat by herself, feeling out of place. Diagonally across the room, Sharon accepted a drink from one of the flattering young women surrounding her. From the corner of her eye, she spotted Alice sitting alone.A smirk tugged at her lips as an idea formed.She thought that it would be utterly satisfying to confront Alice directly, but Elias was present that night. So, she couldn't afford to break character. And aft

    Alice opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she ultimately stayed quiet. She thought that Sean was right. Someone like Elias was bound to attract people trying to cozy up to him.However, that had nothing to do with her. All she cared about was not running into Sharon and spoiling her mood. Sharon was now officially the heiress of the Hale family, and since Hart Group had entered into a project collaboration with the Hales, even cursing her out had to be done with caution.Still, it annoyed her. The resentment from last time hadn't even been dealt with, and now Sharon was strutting around like she owned the place. It seemed that the world really had changed—even clowns could get a spotlight now.With the most important guest present, the gala officially began.Elias stood with Sharon at the center of the crowd. He introduced her to everyone, and Sharon greeted each person with polite courtesy."You're young and already so accomplished. Mr. Hale, you're truly a role model

    At that moment, on the road outside Sunnyridge Heights, Brandon sat in his car, watching as uniformed guards occasionally passed by, some carrying stun batons. However, they weren't your average guards. They were all tall, broad-shouldered, and looked more like professional bodyguards.Brandon already had a good idea of what was going on. The target had powerful connections, and this sudden change of security had taken place earlier that morning. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. The mission was becoming increasingly complex. The security setup was nearly flawless, leaving him no point of entry.Now he finally understood why Rico's employer was offering so much money to take just one person out. It was because it was nearly impossible.He couldn't even park across from the entrance to keep watch anymore. If he lingered too long, it would raise suspicion.There was no other option. He had to lie low and wait for the right opportunity to arise.…Elsewhere, inside a high-

    Ever since Macie joined the company, there had been no shortage of rumors about her. She seemed to have a low profile, but in reality, she was a wealthy wife. She was a close friend of Hart Group's heiress, who was pursued by multiple wealthy and handsome CEOs who publicly confessed to her and showered her with gifts. And now, she was even caught up in an attempted abduction case.The staff of Brightech Studios felt like a real-life drama had landed in their workplace. Her coworkers could hardly believe it. It was as if they were living in a dream.Brightech Studios was still a small company. It was barely two years old. No one would have guessed that one day, one of their colleagues would turn out to be a woman of high society.The workday flew by. In the evening, Alice arrived on time to pick Macie up."What do you feel like having for dinner? I'm feeling better, so I can make something simple," Macie said from the passenger seat."You go ahead and buy whatever you like. I have

    The next day at 8:00 am, Macie finally returned to work after taking three days off.As soon as she got back to her desk, a few coworkers she usually got along with came over to ask why she had gone quiet and hadn't replied to any of their messages."It's nothing serious. I was in the hospital for a few days," Macie said, smiling. "I lost my phone and just bought a new one yesterday. I didn't see any of the messages. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore anyone."The moment she mentioned that she had been hospitalized for several days, her coworkers were visibly shocked."Oh my god. Something that severe had happened, and you're still so calm about it. Your mindset is incredible," one of them said, full of admiration."What happened? Were you sick? You do look a bit pale—definitely not as well as last week," another said.Macie decided to go with the explanation of a severe viral flu, thinking that it was a more straightforward explanation. That way, there would be no need for quest

    "But Julian, I originally planned to pick May up and stay at her place. If we're talking about full precautions, then we should just stick to that plan," Alice said."You're both women. If the attacker really shows up, neither of you would stand a chance. You could both get hurt," Julian replied with concern."It's fine. My car has top features. And when we get out, aren't there bodyguards secretly following us? No matter how fast the guy is, he can't appear in one second," Alice said. "Besides, after what happened, the bodyguards definitely won't stay too far from us. So don't worry."Julian still wanted to say something, but Macie spoke up. "Thanks for caring, Julian. However, I don't think I'm in as much danger as I was before. The contract's been signed, and the Hale family has given their word. If things were still that risky, I wouldn't even be staying in the country."Julian heard her, let out a sigh, and said nothing more.As Alice watched the two of them, thoughts flicker
