Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 286
"You're so desperate to deny it. What, scared that Julian might get upset if he hears?" Edward said."I'm telling you, Macie. Our marriage certificate lays it out in black and white. Do you think that pretending it never happened erases it?"Macie's entire body tensed with fury. Dragging Julian into this was the last straw. Her cheeks flushed with anger.Around them, the Fowler Group employees looked like they'd been struck by lightning. That day's gossip was so explosive that they didn't even know which part to react to first.Edward and Macie were getting a divorce the following day. And Macie even refused to admit that she was married to Edward. They wondered if she was having a secret affair with another man. Moreover, the man in question was Julian, the CEO of Brightech Studios.Julian was indeed young, handsome, and running a pretty successful startup. Was that why Macie had fallen for him?As soon as the Brightech Studios employees overheard Julian's name, everything start

Macie glared at Edward, furious, as he clutched her phone tightly. He sneered through gritted teeth, his voice dripping with bitterness as he said, "I haven't even laid a hand on Julian yet, and you're already rushing to defend him. It's funny how you've never once defended me."Edward's eyes darkened even more as he spat out, "You're so damn biased, Macie. But then again, you've only ever loved Julian."The hurt on Edward's face was so raw and genuine that even the crowd standing around couldn't help feeling a little sorry for him. It really did look like he loved Macie.Macie, however, remained stone-faced, utterly unmoved by the performance.Once Edward finally let go, she immediately stepped over and helped steady Julian. The simple gesture sent a fresh wave of anger ripping through Edward.His fists clenched at his sides, and without saying a single word, he received the message loud and clear. Macie didn't even hesitate to choose someone else, right in front of him.Fowler
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 288
The second Edward heard Macie mention that Sharon had sent her photos, he froze. When did Sharon send Macie anything? Why didn't he know about it?His mind raced, digging through old memories.It wasn't hard to pinpoint. He had only been around Sharon a few times, and if anything had happened, it must have been during that period when Macie was hospitalized.So, it turned out that Sharon had already been "challenging" Macie back then. No wonder, then, that when he visited the hospital, even with his shirt buttoned up, Macie still noticed the mark on his collarbone."Where are the photos?" Edward gritted the words out between clenched teeth, stepping forward to grab Macie's arm.Macie coolly sidestepped him, her voice icy and calm. "They're being saved as evidence for tomorrow's court hearing. You'll get to see them then, as much as you want."She paused, then added, "But if you're feeling impatient, I don't mind showing them right now. Right here in front of all your employees—an

The elevator doors slid shut, cutting off the view inside. Finally, this insane, no-holds-barred showdown between husband and "other man" came to an end.Julian glanced sideways at the employees standing nearby. One by one, everyone quickly looked away, pretending they hadn't seen or heard a thing."No one is to spread what happened today," Julian instructed, his voice even but firm. "Don't gossip about this privately either."Everyone nodded immediately. No one dared to push their luck with Julian standing right there.Macie spoke up as well, wanting to clear the air. "And don't get the wrong idea. Edward's brain is fried. Everything he said just now was pure nonsense."The idea of her "seducing" someone was laughable—complete garbage. Honestly, if that elevator door hadn't closed so fast, she would've thrown her handbag straight at Edward's head.The employees nodded again, though their skeptical looks said they weren't entirely convinced.Julian gently grabbed Macie's arm, st
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 290
Sharon thought that the photos she sent Macie weren't the problem. The real problem was why Edward didn't show even the slightest bit of concern for her. His eyes and his expression were so cold that it was terrifying. There wasn't a shred of affection left in him.Sharon thought that it wasn't right. After all, hadn't Edward paid five million dollars to settle things for her? Hadn't he regretted hurting her? Hadn't he said he still cared?Sharon's heart twisted with fear and uncertainty. Panic gnawed at her chest. She couldn't survive if he abandoned her again. He was all she had left. "Edward…" she whispered, her voice shaking. "Why are you looking at me like that?""What look?" Edward sneered coldly. "You think I'm not already disgusted enough by you?"At his words, Sharon's last defenses crumbled completely. Tears spilled from her eyes like broken beads, her voice choking with disbelief. "No, you don't mean that. You're lying—""Enough, Sharon!" Edward snapped, cutting her
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 291
After waiting a couple of seconds with no response, Edward hung up the phone.Across the glass, Sharon finally panicked, afraid he was going to leave. She quickly said, "I'll talk! I'll tell you! It's the stuff you bought for me."It wasn't the answer he was expecting—far from it. Edward's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe it. This crazy woman, Sharon, had just handed Macie all the proof of his affair on a silver platter. Edward wondered if Sharon was actually actively helping Macie nail him.The mistress herself had come forward, and now there was both eyewitness testimony and physical evidence. Edward had planned to deny everything to the end, but this just shattered any chance of a defense.And he had a gut feeling that this wasn't all of it. He sensed that Sharon had sent Macie even more.Rage surged to his head. Edward stared coldly at Sharon behind the glass, seeing her clearly for who she was. He wanted nothing more than to see her rot in prison for the rest of her
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 292
Even though Edward knew that Macie had only married him two years ago because of Julian, he still couldn't accept it. He refused to believe feelings couldn't grow over time.If Macie's love for Julian was truly that deep, then why had they argued? Why hadn't she agreed to get back with Julian?The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that he still had a chance. The more he dwelt on it, the more determined he was to hold onto her. Clutching his phone, Edward's eyes grew darker with resolve.…Despite Julian's order to keep quiet, the incident in the elevator corridor after work spread like wildfire. Especially in the design department, where it stirred up a frenzy. Gossip ran rampant, and people were shocked by the juicy revelation.They didn't even know where to start. Should they first be stunned that Macie was actually the wife of the heir of the wealthy Fowler family, or that she had cheated on him with their own boss while still married?Rumors even trickled

"Well then, I'll really have to thank you for the honor. You must think very highly of me to let me debate against an entire army of lawyers," Xavier said.Edward had no interest in responding to his sarcasm. He looked straight at Macie, but she never once looked his way."It's time. Let's go," Macie whispered to Xavier.Xavier gave Edward a quick smile and said, "After today, I'll be famous. One man taking on a crowd—and it's your lawsuit, Mr. Fowler."With that jab, he stepped inside. Macie followed him, leaving the group of lawyers behind, glaring at the man who dared to talk a big game. If they couldn't even win against a solo defense attorney, it would be a complete embarrassment.Edward stared hard at Macie's back, then shot a few sharp glances at Xavier before following them in.Meanwhile, inside the mediation room, Edward's lawyer said, "Our client has recognized his mistakes and is making active efforts to change. He hopes to repair the marriage. Please give him another

Macie quickly adjusted her expression and tried to look perfectly calm, as if nothing was wrong. Then she gave a soft, polite smile."Just tell the truth," Sean said casually. "Even if you say that you dropped it down the toilet, I won't hold it against you."Macie was at a loss for words. She thought that Sean's intuition was rather scary and wondered if she should tell the truth or come up with a half-decent lie and roll with it."Did you actually drop it in the toilet?" Alice asked, peering over at her friend. "It's fine. It wasn't like you did it on purpose."Macie looked at her, then glanced at Sean. He sat there with a look that made it clear he wasn't letting this go until she gave him something—anything.And lying risked getting caught, which would be worse."It's… somewhere safe," she said, her smile stiff. "There's no need to worry about it ending up in the wrong hands.""Be specific," Sean replied flatly.Macie sighed. "It's in a trash can. No one's going to go diggi

"I'm your sister, and May is my friend. That's not the same thing," Alice muttered, shooting Sean a look of disbelief.Sean was so used to teasing her that now he was treating her friends the same way. He was just piling on the torment.He went straight for verbal jabs with Alice, but with Macie? It was all sly teasing and "playful" provocation.Macie listened to Sean's excuse and honestly agreed with Alice's rebuttal. She wasn't part of the Hart family. Sean was acting way too familiar with her, especially considering that he'd misjudged her at the start and stormed off like some arrogant tyrant.Facing Alice's complaint, Sean calmly offered his version of logic. "Well, she's your friend, so I'm treating her like a sister, too. There's no need for formalities."His one remark silenced Macie and Alice. The two exchanged a glance, momentarily at a loss for words.Macie thought that Sean was perhaps being too informal. After all, they weren't related by blood.Alice also found it

Sean felt wrongfully accused. He was completely exasperated and at a loss for words. "I'm not blaming Macie for anything. It was just a simple question, really," he said, trying to explain himself.Every time he said something, Macie always replied with such polite, measured courtesy that even when he didn't mean anything by it, she'd still apologize first."What's the point of asking if you didn't care?" Alice snorted.Sean fell silent. He really hadn't meant anything by it, but now it felt like he couldn't explain himself out of it, no matter what he said."I wasn't blaming you. Don't take it the wrong way," Sean turned to Macie and added calmly."And just like on that call, what I said wasn't a curse. It was a medical suggestion. That's all."Macie gave a slight nod. She hadn't actually been offended. She hadn't felt attacked, either. However, when it came to dealing with Sean, it was always safer to err on the side of caution. Admitting fault first gave him no room to twist h

Macie, Alice, and Sean didn't speak as they ate. The only sounds in the room came from the soft clinking of silverware against porcelain plates.Macie kept her head down, quietly enjoying the meal. The restaurant was expensive, but the food was worth it. Everything tasted amazing.Focused on her plate, she was completely immersed in the flavors. Across from her, Sean occasionally glanced up. His eyes drifted in her direction as he quietly observed her.Macie ate with poise and grace—an elegance that spoke volumes about her upbringing or self-discipline.Her speech was polished, and her manners were impeccable. She didn't fall short of the refinement you'd expect from someone raised in a wealthy family.Sean remembered Alice mentioning that Macie was an orphan, which made her self-taught etiquette and professionalism all the more significant.Moreover, she'd gotten into Arlington College, unlike Alice, who'd gone the arts route.Macie was undeniably sharp. She was off-the-charts

Macie looked at Alice with gratitude in her eyes. The latter had practically voiced everything Macie was thinking.She wanted to nod along so badly, but held it back, keeping her composure while mentally agreeing with her friend wholeheartedly."She wouldn't say it to my face, but she sure had a lot to say behind my back," Sean said lightly as he shot Macie a sideways glance.Macie said nothing. It had been one of those classic moments. She thought that she was venting safely behind his back, only to get caught in the act by the very person she'd been talking about. She had already known that he was aware since last week, but now that he brought it up again, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.However, the awkwardness only lasted a few seconds. She knew that Sean could be a real menace sometimes. He had a whole track record of being impossible."You mean she can't call you out to your face, and now she can't even vent about you behind your back?" Alice shot back at Sean

The waiter had already taken their order and left. Alice turned to Macie with a half-guilty look. She said, "May, you really didn't have to splurge like this. Taking Sean to some casual diner would've been totally fine."Macie thought that something too casual wouldn't exactly suit Sean's stature.He was the CEO of Hart Group, after all. The man had done her a huge favor. If she invited him somewhere cheap and cheerful, she'd risk him calling her out for being stingy.Macie had always kept a respectful distance from Sean as he wasn't someone she could afford to offend. When it came to speaking with him or even the smallest gesture, she made sure to tread carefully, never leaving room for him to mock or twist her words."Mr. Hart has helped me a lot. A proper thank-you is the least I can do. Choosing a nice place is just a way to show my sincerity," she explained to Alice.Alice replied, "See? This is what I mean. You're always so meticulous. It's almost too much."Across from the

Edward scrolled through the photos, but when he saw that the man in the driver's seat wasn't Julian, he froze.The photo had been taken from an angle that caught the driver's side profile. Edward thought that the man looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.He wondered who this guy was. He didn't know where he had suddenly come from.He kept scrolling, hoping for a clearer shot, but there wasn't even a proper back view, let alone a front-facing one. He couldn't identify the man at all.Immediately, he grabbed his phone and made a call. The moment it connected, his voice was sharp with irritation as he said, "Are you trying to lose your job? What the hell is this? I'm paying you, and this is what you send me? You can't even get one clear shot of his face?"The person on the other end of the call, clearly unfazed by Edward's anger, replied evenly, "We just wanted to flag this for you because the man seen with the target today hasn't appeared before. He picked her up

"Macie is indeed fair-skinned," Sean said casually.Macie was so fair that she practically glowed. He found himself thinking that she was like fine porcelain or a wisp of cloud."I told you! Even Sean agrees with me," Alice chimed in smugly.Macie gave her a polite smile, and the two kept chatting as the car rolled to a stop at the restaurant.Sean parked in the private parking lot, and the three of them took the elevator up. A hostess guided them to the private dining room they'd reserved.Meanwhile, two men in plain clothes stood idly near the curb across the street, glancing toward the restaurant's front doors. The place looked clearly high-end, so they didn't dare enter without an invitation.They pulled out their phone to check, and as they had expected, the restaurant only accepted guests with reservations. Walk-ins weren't allowed, which meant that there was no way they were getting in that day.That left them with no choice. Since they couldn't get close, they pulled up
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 342
Alice couldn't take it anymore. She thought that Sean was seriously the worst. She couldn't understand why he would pick on women like it was a sport. What kind of talent was that?But before she could jump back in, Macie had already devised the perfect comeback. She smiled softly and said, "Mr. Hart, your charm doesn't come from your outfit. It comes from you. So, whether it's today or any other day, it all works."Sean's lips twitched up. He was unable to hide the grin. He didn't always mind a little flattery, especially when it was delivered like that. Honestly, it put him in a pretty damn good mood.Alice gave Macie a thumbs-up from the front seat. "That was a ten out of ten. You handled his question perfectly."Sean glanced at Macie. "Get in before you roast out there."Relieved the teasing had finally stopped, Macie opened the back door and slipped inside.The engine started, and the AC inside the car was blasting. Within moments, Macie felt a wave of cool relief wash over
