Chapter 289

Author: Summer Blossom
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

    After hearing Macie's response, Diana felt relieved. "You don't have to go to extremes, though. Otherwise, Sean might become suspicious. I hope you can strike a healthy balance. For instance, avoid having meals together." Macie nodded in agreement.Just then, the waiter arrived with their food, cutting their conversation short. The atmosphere between them settled into a prolonged silence. Macie could feel the subtle pressure from Diana's imposing presence. Still, everything she said that day had been the truth.She had never viewed Sean in that way. If anything, he was always picking on her. Yet, somehow, everyone around her seemed to assume otherwise. Now, even Diana had felt the need to talk to her in person. Macie started to doubt herself. Perhaps she and Sean had been meeting each other too frequently. So, she figured that it would be best to keep her distance from now on. While she was lost in thought, Diana suddenly said, "I've been curious about something. How did you

    "I'd like to hear what you really think, Mrs. Hart," Macie said calmly. "If it's truly just as you said earlier, then why didn't you want me to let Alice know? Besides, this is only our first meeting. I have a feeling there's more to this, and I'd prefer it if you'd be honest with me. After all, you're older than me, and you're also my friend's mother."Diana studied Macie carefully. She knew that anyone who could get into Arlington College had to be smart. Yet, there was something about Macie's perceptiveness and straightforward nature that she genuinely admired.So be it. There was no need to dance around the topic between two sharp women. The smile faded from Diana's lips as she revealed her true intention. She bluntly asked, "Did Sean have dinner at your place last night?"Macie met her gaze and nodded, quietly wondering what Diana really wanted to know."Are you and Sean close?" Diana inquired once more.After hearing that, Macie froze. She didn't know how to answer that, so

    Macie doubted Palmer's explanation, thinking that the latter was clearly curious about her personal life. In a way, she could understand where his curiosity stemmed from because it involved Sean and Julian, who weren't just anyone. If it were any other regular employee, Palmer probably wouldn't have asked.Macie was about to leave when Palmer stared at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "Macie, you don't have to swear off all men just because of one bad relationship. I'm sure true love is hard to find, but there are plenty of fish in the sea. Besides, you have a lot going for you!"Even Mr. Hart and Mr. Atkins have fallen under your spell. So, you just have to believe in your own charm."Macie broke out in a cold sweat when she heard that."I won't even bother introducing anyone to you anymore. If someone as brilliant as Mr. Hart doesn't meet your standards, then anyone I suggest definitely won't either. But seriously, I hope you find happiness again someday!" Palmer added.Mac

    Macie quickened her pace, puzzled as to why Alice's mother would want to see her. After all, they had never met before. The one time Alice had invited her over, Macie had casually said she'd visit someday, but she had never followed through. Still lost in thought, Macie made her way to the lobby. After hearing the sound of heels clicking against the floor, Diana turned around. Macie wasn't much different from the photos she had seen. In fact, she looked even more striking in person.Macie was dressed in a khaki professional skirt suit. Her makeup was light and natural, giving her a youthful and graceful appearance. She wasn't tall, but her slender frame and delicate features made her look charming and endearing. As Diana studied Macie, Macie did the same. Alice shared about 60% of her mother's looks, though their temperaments differed. Alice was radiant and lively, while Diana carried the poise and quiet elegance that only time could shape."Hello, Mrs. Hart," Macie greeted her p

    "That particular transfer took place three days after Ms. Emerson received the funds," Mitch continued. "It also happened exactly one week before the attempted abduction of Mr. Fowler's ex-wife."Elias abruptly looked up and asked coldly, "What exactly are you trying to imply?"Startled by his change in tone, Mitch hurriedly explained, "I wasn't implying anything, Mr. Hale! I just thought you should know… That's all."He doubted that Elias would help Sharon avoid the consequences. So, why was he reacting this scarily? Even though Elias had fiercely defended Sharon, he had indeed referred to her as a homewrecker.But this time, Mitch realized that things were different. If it turned out that Sharon had a hand in the attempted abduction of Macie, then Elias wouldn't be able to give the Fowlers an explanation. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hale! Forget I said anything. I'll get back to work now." Terrified of Elias' wrath, Mitch was about to slip away.But as soon as he reached the doorway, Elia

    A deep sense of helplessness washed over Edward after he hung up on his call with Nathan. He sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly out the window into the late night.Macie had invited those two men over and even cooked a lavish meal for them. Naturally, he was jealous. He wished he could throw Julian and Sean into the sea just to keep them away from Macie. However, that was just a petty fantasy. In reality, there was nothing he could do. His mind drifted back to all the dishes in that picture Julian had posted. Each one looked familiar. He recognized them as dishes Macie used to make for him.He remembered how she would greet him with a smile whenever he came home, only to be met with his cold, cutting sarcasm. His hands, which were resting on his knees, curled into fists so tight that his knuckles turned white.Edward bit down on his lip, wishing for the hundredth time that he could go back in time and punch some sense into his past self. He had no one to blame but himse
