Chapter 313

작가: Summer Blossom
"Honestly, there's no need to go all out for Sean. If you just want to be polite, a few thousand bucks for a nice pen would do," Alice suggested.

"But I've already bought something," Macie replied.

Alice was stunned. "You did? What did you get? Why didn't you tell me?"

Macie replied, "A pair of cufflinks, but I didn't buy them just to thank him for this. It's because he gave me an expensive perfume yesterday, and the cufflinks are my way of returning the gesture.

"I still haven't picked out a thank-you gift for him. Do you want to help me choose one when you have time?"

A few thousand dollars for a pen was definitely out of the question, especially since it was a gift for Sean. Macie thought that something too cheap wouldn't be appropriate and might even be frowned upon.

On the other end of the line, Alice seemed a little emotional and unsure of what to say.

Finally, she sighed and said, "May, you're too worried about what others think. Sean gave you that perfume as an apology.

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 716

    Sean was slightly surprised and asked, "Why would Alice ask you to pass a message?""I just happened to run into her," Elias said simply.Sean didn't press further. He simply nodded in acknowledgement.As he watched the Hales leave, Sean rubbed his chin thoughtfully, thinking that the situation was strange. After all, wasn't Alice always bitter about Sharon? And seeing Elias usually just irritated her further. How could it be a mere coincidence, and yet she felt comfortable enough to have him relay a message?...Meanwhile, Alice had called her driver outside the ballroom. Once he arrived, he helped her into the car."Ms. Hart, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup," the driver said."No need. I've already applied some medicine. It doesn't hurt much now," Alice replied."The spray numbs the pain and cools the area, but it can mask how serious the injury really is. If there's any damage to the bone, that's no small matter," the driver insisted.He drove her straight to th

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 715

    After helping Alice to the lounge behind the ballroom, Elias waited outside while Alice went in to change. In the meantime, he asked someone to bring him medical supplies.When Alice came out, she was surprised to see Elias still there, holding a bottle of spray, a roll of gauze and bandages.Naturally, she didn't expect someone like Elias to personally assist her in applying it. She reached out to take it and said, "Thanks."Elias handed it over and asked, "Do you need someone to take you to the hospital?"Alice shook her head. "It's not that bad. I'll be fine after some rest."Elias nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Alice looked at his back and suddenly called out, "Hey—"She stopped mid-sentence, realizing that it sounded too casual. She wouldn't have cared before, but that night, he had helped her. She corrected herself as Elias turned around."Mr. Hale," she said.He looked at her."Did you help me just now because of the ties between our families and the ongoing bus

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 714

    Alice heard the familiar voice. Before she could even lift her head, a large hand extended in front of her.She paused for a second, then looked up and met that calm, handsome face.Honestly, she was a little surprised. After all, wasn't Elias supposed to be against her because of Sharon? Alice didn't know why he would step in to help her.The offered hand remained there, steady and polite, but Alice didn't plan to take it. She was determined to stand up on her own."This isn't the time to be stubborn," Elias said flatly.Alice hesitated but eventually reached out. The moment her hand met his—broad, steady, and strong—he effortlessly lifted her to her feet with a firm pull.Because of her twisted ankle, Alice stumbled slightly. Elias noticed this and shifted his grip from her hand to her arm, holding her steady.Alice grabbed onto his arm, and her first thought was that it felt firm under her touch. She realized that Elias definitely worked out. His core strength was ridiculous.

    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-
