Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 326
"As soon as Edward comes to, put him under house arrest. If he wants to focus on his relationship that badly, he can forget about work," Yosef said coldly. "Bennett's mentioned a few times that his illegitimate son should be brought in for training at headquarters, right? Fine. I'll give him the green light."Nolan was visibly stunned after hearing that. "Please don't make a snap decision, Mr. Fowler Senior. Mr. Fowler just made a poor judgment call. It hasn't affected his actual work," he hurriedly said.Yosef had skipped over Bennett and appointed Edward as his heir. Yet, he was planning to bring that illegitimate child back."Edward has seriously let me down. Sure, the major projects weren't affected, but he's been abusing his authority—acquiring small companies for no strategic reason and forcing a partnership with Brightech Studios to develop new projects that are barely profitable," Yosef said, his expression stern.He continued, "He's too emotional and petty. Sooner or later

Sean had assumed it was just a one-sided crush—that Julian liked Macie, but she didn't reciprocate his feelings. But Alice sent another message. "Oh, the ten million dollars came with the condition that Macie would be Edward's wife for two years."Sean was taken aback when he read that. He had only learned yesterday that Macie and Edward were in a marriage of convenience, but he never imagined their marriage to involve money. Obviously, there was more to it than just a deal. It looked like Macie had married Edward for the money or, more specifically, for Julian's sake.Sean: "Does she like Julian? Is that why she did it?"Alice: "Nope. May doesn't like him."That confused Sean even more. He couldn't understand why she would do that then. He wondered why she would sacrifice so much for someone she didn't like.He asked that very question. However, instead of answering, she asked, "Since when were you this nosy, Sean? Tsk, tsk, tsk… Something's off."Sean was rendered speechless. H

Alice and Macie continued exchanging text messages.Alice: "I think I should move in with you. That way, I can drive you to and from work. It'd be safer."Noticing how worried she was, Macie sent her a voice message. "It's fine. Don't worry. He wouldn't dare try anything in public. I'll keep an eye out to see if anyone's tailing me. If I spot someone, I'll make sure to get evidence."Alice was still feeling uneasy. She insisted that Macie leave work on time every day and not work overtime anymore. If she did work overtime, Alice insisted on picking her up or having Julian take her home. Macie didn't want to bother either of them, so she promised to clock out on time and text when she got home. As they chatted, Macie casually mentioned that Edward had been taken away in an ambulance after their encounter. Alice was taken aback when she heard that. She couldn't believe that Edward had seriously called an ambulance. What was he attempting to accomplish? Was he hoping Macie would fe

Edward was about to snap back, saying he wouldn't back down, when Nolan dropped a bombshell. "Mr. Fowler Senior has officially allowed that person to work at headquarters. This is his way of warning you. You've come a long way, Mr. Fowler. Don't throw it all away because of this."Edward didn't need to ask who "that person" was. Nolan was clearly talking about his father's illegitimate son, his half-brother. For years, his grandfather refused to acknowledge Adrian's existence. He wouldn't even let the latter be added to the family tree. Yet, he was now letting him work at the company headquarters."Grandpa actually approved it? When was this?" Edward's voice rose, his fists clenching as fury and disbelief surged through him. "Why the hell is that homewrecker's son allowed to work in Fowler Group? He's not even part of the family!" he brooded."Last night," Nolan responded. "It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. Everything you've done recently has disappointed Mr. Fowler Senior."

"As the chairman of Fowler Group, my priority is the company's future," Yosef said calmly. "And whoever proves the most capable will be the one fit to lead it."After hearing that, Edward gritted his teeth and shot back, "Haven't you already acknowledged my abilities? I've been working tirelessly at Fowler Group for the past two years. I've been dedicated and responsible… There's not a single thing you could fault me for!""That was before," Yosef corrected, giving him a cold look. "Edward, do you really think I don't know what you've been up to with Brightech Studios lately? You've been recklessly acquiring companies and expanding into other businesses without regard for profitability, all because you're trying to get even with Macie!"Edward fell silent for a moment before defending himself, "Those ventures are profitable! We're just not at that stage yet. Besides, the startup capital was already accounted for. It falls under our investment division.""I don't want to hear your e

At that moment, across the ocean, Adrian studied the photo in his hand, a sly smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. The woman in the photo was strikingly beautiful, nothing like the typical plastic-surgery-enhanced faces of influencers online. It was no wonder his half-brother had fallen so hard for her."Nothing beats home cooking, and nothing beats one's brother's wife. I guess the old saying holds true," he said while chuckling to himself. "Edward, I'll go ahead and take your ex-wife off your hands. It looks like you'll be calling her your sister-in-law from now on." A devilish grin spread across his face, making him seem like a villain stepping onto the stage for his grand debut.He couldn't wait to witness the chaos unfold—Fowler Group and Macie, both his to claim, and Edward crushed beneath him. Yosef, that old fogey was getting up there in age. Adrian believed that it was time for him to bow out.Things were about to take a turn at Fowler Group.…Despite being sick, E

Sidney and Taylor clocked out right after Macie and, as expected, they spotted Macie and Julian meeting in the lobby. They were laughing and chatting, walking off side by side. The way they looked at each other made it obvious that they were in love.Macie had just filed for divorce, and now she was about to become Brightech Studios' CEO's wife, going from coworker to boss in the blink of an eye. Sidney and Taylor couldn't help but admire Macie.Rumor had it that she only married Edward because of Julian. They heard that Julian had always been the one she liked. Macie couldn't care less about Edward, who had been devoted to her. Hence, after all the twists and turns, it seemed like the two of them finally found their way back to each other.They believed that there was something special about Macie. After all, who would've guessed that the newbie who joined the company not too long ago had connections that ran so deep? Both of them made a mental note to stay in Macie's good graces a

After hearing that, Alice chuckled. "Look, clients and partners might need to schedule a meeting with him in advance, but you're neither of those. Plus, it's the weekend. The only day he ever works overtime is Saturday."Then, she looked at Macie and patted her on the shoulder. "Come on. There's no need to be so cautious. My brother's not some big shot. You don't have to walk on eggshells around him.""To most people, being the CEO of Hart Group is definitely a big deal," Macie thought. "What if he already has plans with friends?" she asked."He can cancel them then," Alice responded matter-of-factly."Uh… I don't think that is a good idea," Macie thought to herself."What could be more important than your invitation? He wouldn't dare not show up," Alice huffed.Macie was both flattered and flustered after hearing that. Her best friend really had too much faith in her. She didn't have that much influence.As they chatted, they reached Sunnyridge Heights. Macie got out of the c

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
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 347
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

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
