Chapter 336

Author: Summer Blossom
Edward was down to his last sliver of hope. The gas leak in the kitchen… that had to have been Macie's carelessness, right? He thought that she might have just forgotten to turn off the stove. He was skeptical that Sharon would have gone out of her way to turn it on just to frame Macie.

But then again… Sharon had been in the living room the entire night. If she had done that, she would've been risking serious harm to herself. It wasn't like the sprained ankle or the hangover soup stunt, which had caused her no real harm.

Nevertheless, he remembered what Nathan had said after visiting Macie at the hospital. Macie had insisted that they'd tried to hurt her, that he had taken Sharon away from the house on purpose to expose her to gas poisoning.

Now, he was stuck between two completely conflicting versions of the truth. He didn't know who he was supposed to believe.

He figured he should just stick to the facts. If Macie had entered the kitchen that night and neither he nor Sharon had,

    Sharon could only nod in response before returning to her room. Once she was behind her closed door, she leaned against it, with her hands clenched into tight fists as she ground her teeth.She couldn't believe that Elias would spend the whole day with Alice. Sharon was convinced that Alice was scheming to get her claws into Elias.What really grated on Sharon's nerves was that Mitch had told her that Elias was exhausted when he returned. She couldn't understand how Elias could be so tired, and her mind immediately went to the worst possible scenario.She figured that Alice must have seduced Elias into bed for a marathon session. Otherwise, how could someone with his stamina possibly be tired?The more Sharon thought about it, the harder she clenched her jaw until her teeth nearly cracked. She stomped her foot hard against the floor in frustration.…At Macie's place, Alice finished editing the draft on her social media post when she received the photos from Elias. She scrolled t

    "We'd be crazy not to milk this opportunity. We're all in this together, and Elias has money to burn. Plus, he brought this on himself by owing us," Alice said with a satisfied huff.She went on, "Now that's what I call retail therapy. I haven't gone on a shopping spree like that in ages."Macie listened, her smile faint.Alice added, "Look at all this stuff. Since I've gone clothes shopping with you before, I know your sizes and have picked out mostly classic basics, with nothing too flashy. I figured that they should match your preferences."She opened the shopping bags and took out the clothes and shoes. Macie had to admit that everything looked great. What surprised her was the sheer quantity of items Alice had purchased. There were eight outfits, seven pairs of shoes, and six handbags. Alice had bought her as much as she'd gotten for herself."You really love me, huh?" Macie remarked, genuinely touched."You bet I do." Alice beamed.While they sorted through everything,

    When Zara heard that, she hadn't expected Alice to have such an impressive background. She looked at Xavier again and wondered if he was finally feeling inferior. Did he think he wasn't good enough for Alice? She couldn't believe that even a playboy like him had days when he'd meet someone out of his league.Xavier continued walking, while his mind was still on Elias. If Diana was deliberately encouraging Alice to spend time with Elias, it meant that the latter wasn't just wealthy, but he also had an impressive background.Lost in these thoughts, he gradually zoned out, and the rest of his shopping trip felt pointless.…At an upscale restaurant, Alice was quietly cutting into her steak. She occasionally glanced up at the man seated across from her. She debated whether she should explain the earlier events to Elias. Since he hadn't asked and everything she'd said was true, she figured that it was pointless.Even if he brought it up to Sean, it wouldn't matter. After all, it wa

    Xavier asked, "Are you guys here to shop too?"Alice couldn't help but think about how obvious the answer to his question was."Yeah. We got here pretty early and finished our shopping already. You two must have just arrived," she said, smiling.Xavier missed the barb entirely, but Zara felt every word like a slap. She was clenching her jaw so hard that she thought she might pass out from anger.They hadn't "just arrived" but had instead been strolling about for nearly two hours. All she bought was a handbag, while Alice was loaded down with shopping bags.What else could that comment have meant, if not showing off and throwing shade by saying she had "just arrived"?"Yes. We've just arrived," Xavier replied. Then, he continued, "And this is…"Alice glanced up at Elias, who was standing beside her. She was about to introduce him properly, but then had second thoughts and smiled faintly."Just a friend, I guess. My mom's hoping we'll hit it off, but that's just her wishful think

    Just then, several young women passed by, and they couldn't help but stare at Elias. He was undeniably tall, handsome, and impossible to ignore. Looking at his arms loaded with shopping bags, that combination of physical strength and spending power was enviable.Unfortunately for them, he already had a girlfriend. He seemed to dote on the woman in front of him, adjusting his angles and taking photos of her as if it were second nature.There was another reason these women didn't dare make a move. It was because the wealthy, handsome man's girlfriend was stunning. She had that radiant, sophisticated beauty with star-quality presence that made them feel completely outclassed. All they could do was admire this perfect couple from afar.After Elias had taken what felt like hundreds of photos of Alice on his phone, she finally seemed satisfied."Send me all of them later so I can pick which ones are good enough for social media," she said.Elias was at a loss. First, he helped her take

    Although Alice's ankle was doing better, it started to ache and swell again after just an hour of walking that morning. But how could such a trivial obstacle dampen her shopping enthusiasm? With advanced technology at her disposal, she simply hopped onto an electric scooter and glided effortlessly through the mall, leaving Elias trudging behind on foot.At 5:00 pm, he dragged himself into yet another store. His feet were completely numb, and his expression matched the numbness. When he spotted a cushioned bench, he made a beeline for it and collapsed onto the seat with immense relief.He and Alice had been shopping for seven straight hours. Aside from a one-hour lunch break, he hadn't stopped moving or sat down once. He stared blankly at Alice, who was still obsessing over racks of clothes.She even turned around to ask him, "What do you think of this one? I need a guy's opinion.""The style and color are fine, but…" he replied flatly, then trailed off. Alice looked at him quiz
