Chapter 359

Author: Summer Blossom
Macie listened to Sean's whole speech on life and survival without interrupting.

"You've been taught all the right things from a young age, and with your good grades, you've become even more refined, polite, and well-mannered, with a strong sense of decency and boundaries," Sean said.

He wasn't usually this talkative. Perhaps it was because he was starting to feel a little guilty for always messing with her.

"They're good traits, really. But they don't always work in a world that runs on jungle rules. You'll figure that out soon enough once you've been in the real world longer."

Macie listened carefully, taking in every word. It was premium advice coming from someone like Sean, for free.

"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Hart. That was really insightful," she said sincerely.

Sean couldn't help but chuckle at how formal she sounded.

If Macie truly understood him and applied his advice, the first thing she'd do would be to refuse to pack him any takeout. But unfortunately, he knew th

    The neighborhood looked average. Elias couldn't believe that Alice was living in such an apartment complex. When she had sent him the location earlier, he had asked her to confirm it twice. He even thought that she was messing with him. To his surprise, she actually was staying there.Once she got into the passenger seat, he asked, "Where to?""Sterling Boulevard," she replied.Elias knew that place since he'd taken Sharon shopping there for clothes and jewelry before. It was one of those upscale shopping districts lined with luxury brands.He then drove toward their destination. Maybe it was the stillness in the car, or perhaps he just didn't understand why Alice wanted to go there, but the silence that fell felt a little awkward. So, he casually asked, "You live here?""Yes," she responded."I thought you'd be staying at your family's place," Elias said."I'm staying here for the time being," Alice explained.As he listened, his mind wandered to that frail-looking woman.

    Over the next few days, Macie stuck to her routine. She would go to work during the day, then pick up groceries on the way home to cook for Alice in the evening.Edward didn't show up again, and she hadn't faced any threats since. Her life seemed to have found its rhythm again, calm and safe.That evening, Alice was enjoying her after-dinner dessert. Macie had been thoughtful with her meal planning. Everything she prepared was balanced, nutritious, and most importantly, delicious. Alice had gotten a little carried away and gained two pounds in the past few days."It's just two pounds," Macie said, smiling. "You can't even tell.""I've got a belly now," Alice muttered, pinching at her waist."Fortunately, it's only noticeable when you're sitting down," Macie reassured her.Alice complained about the weight gain but still polished off every bite of dessert before collapsing contentedly on the couch. "Honestly, May, I should just marry you. I haven't felt this happy in a long ti

    Sharon was seething as she listened to Alice's outrageous demands. She could barely contain herself from calling Alice shameless right then and there.She couldn't believe the audacity of Alice's claim of buying whatever caught her eye. What if she had decided that she wanted every single handbag in a display case? Would Elias have been expected to purchase the entire collection? Additionally, Alice also demanded that Elias accompany her. She was clearly doing it on purpose since Diana had been trying to set them up.Sharon was convinced that Alice had set her sights on Elias and was making her move. The thought made her blood boil as she gritted her teeth and glared at Alice. She would not allow Alice to marry into the Hale family.Meanwhile, Alice sipped her juice with barely concealed satisfaction while watching Sharon glaring daggers at her. She thought that Sharon deserved this. Since she couldn't deal with Sharon directly, she'd make her brother pay for it instead. She was

    Elias said all of this with a calm expression. He never raised his voice beyond what was necessary. In the end, he didn't lash out at Sharon as harshly as he could have. As he turned to leave, he added one last thing, "Alice only went after you because you went after her friend first. If she had targeted you for no reason, I would've held her accountable."After this, let this grudge between you two end. And stay away from Macie, too. I'll be keeping a close eye on you."With that, he walked straight back to the suite next door. Sharon stood frozen, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Her teeth nearly broke the skin of her lip from biting down hard.Elias had dug too deep, uncovered too much. What if he uncovered her real identity?Sharon doubted that would happen. After all, the orphanage had been taken care of long ago. The records had been altered and scrubbed clean. There were no loose ends.Everything was in order, except for Macie's admission

    Sharon said nothing. She just cried. Elias stood there silently, waiting for her to finish.The standoff lasted for about a minute or two. Elias didn't try to comfort her. Eventually, Sharon lowered her head, thinking that there was no point in denying it anymore.Through sobs, she said, "I'm sorry, Elias. I just can't forget how Alice hurt me."You say I humiliated her. But what about how she humiliated me first? The shame I endured wasn't any less than hers. That day outside the private room, you heard how Alice cursed at me. Because of her and Sean, I spent 15 days in the detention center."She poured out all the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of the Hart siblings, making it clear that she was simply retaliating against their earlier treatment of her. She also tried to play the victim, hoping to gain sympathy.And it worked. Elias felt a sharp pain in his chest. He knew that Alice was very hostile toward Sharon. Moreover, Sean had really sent Sharon to the detentio

    "By the way, May, I didn't mention earlier that it was Elias who helped me out of the venue. I figured that I shouldn't say anything nice about him since he's Sharon's brother and technically your enemy," Alice said."It's fine," Macie replied."Honestly, though, Sharon's brother, Elias, isn't a bad person. At least he knows right from wrong. As for how he spoils Sharon without question…" Macie paused. "That part's a little enviable."To have an older brother with power, someone who shielded her from everything, stood up for her, and served as her constant refuge—Sharon had it all handed to her. That was simply her fate.That thought stirred something in Macie—a hazy memory, long buried by suddenly surfacing.She remembered having an older brother once. He would lift her onto his shoulders and run around, making her feel as though she was flying. He had adored her.Macie thought that if she ever found her family again, then she probably wouldn't have to envy anyone else."Sharon
