Chapter 36

Penulis: Summer Blossom
"Excuse me, may I ask how you and Mr. Fowler are related?" the receptionist asked in a hushed tone.

"I'm his housekeeper who cooks for him," Macie replied indifferently.

The receptionist hesitated, wondering if there really was such a young housekeeper. And if that were the case, why had Nathan instructed her to be respectful toward this woman?

She had no time to ask further questions as the elevator doors opened, and Macie stepped inside, heading straight to the top floor.

Macie found Nathan already waiting upon her arrival.

He immediately took the food container from her hands and softly said, "Mrs. Fowler, I was just about to go downstairs to meet you, but…" He hesitated before adding sincerely, "And please, you can always ask me for help, really."

Macie understood that he was a kind person. She gave him a faint smile. "You can take it inside. I'm leaving."

"Aren't you coming in?" Nathan asked.

"I don't want to see his stinking face," she replied coldly.

"That's… quite an

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 982

    Edward narrowed his eyes. He was well aware that Sean knew the truth. Edward hoped this scoundrel wouldn't blow his cover. "I'm not planning to compete with you, Mr. Fowler. But I have to admit, I find your ex-wife quite charming," Sean deliberately said.Edward's eyes widened when he heard that. Rage surged through him, and he grabbed Sean by the collar in one swift movement. "Stay the hell away from Macie, Sean Hart!" he gritted out.Looking him in the eye, Sean placed his hand over Edward's and slowly pried the latter's fingers off one by one. "You two have already divorced. You have no claim over her. A gentleman is allowed to pursue a lovely woman, isn't he?" he casually asked.Edward was still injured, and having his fingers forced open made him wince, yet he continued to stare daggers at Sean. He'd heard that Sean had a thing for Macie. The two of them had been close; they had exchanged gifts, but nothing had ever really happened between them, and there were no rumors about

    With all eyes on him, Adrian simply smiled. He didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed by the public humiliation. Instead, he said, "Thank you for the reminder, Edward. I'll work hard and convince Grandpa to accept me into the family soon!"After hearing that, Edward thought that Adrian's shamelessness was on another level. He didn't bother responding and turned to speak with Bill Hawthorne, the head of the Hawthorne family.The Hawthornes were well aware of what had happened within Fowler Group a few days ago. Now that Edward had arrived, no one bothered with Adrian anymore, leaving him completely on the sidelines.The only reason they had bothered talking to him earlier was out of respect for Yosef. Adrian might be an illegitimate child, but he was still someone Yosef had acknowledged. However, everyone could see the situation clearly. Edward was about to form an alliance with Lyrex Global through marriage. That meant that Adrian would never get a chance to gain control of t

    Alice wasn't the least bit upset about being insulted. While reaching out to "accidentally" bump into Edward again, she said, "Oh, don't be so dramatic, Mr. Fowler! Or is there… a performance issue we should know about?"This time, Edward dodged Alice with ease. She clicked her tongue and said, "If you can't keep up, that's a serious issue, you know? I'm guessing the ladies will be staying far, far away from you tonight." Alice had deliberately raised her voice, and everyone around them turned their way.Edward's hands curled into fists. His expression hardened as he glared at her. "Keep running your mouth, and I won't be responsible for what happens next! Don't think I won't lay a hand on you just because you're Mr. Hart's younger sister.""Oh, please. I don't need my brother to pull rank for me," she said, completely unfazed.He scoffed. "Why else would I pardon your behavior? Who do you think—""I pull rank with my best friend, Macie!" she beamed.Edward instantly fell silen

    Nathan didn't notice the shift in Edward's expression. He continued to discuss the rumor that everyone in the industry was circulating. "Since Mr. Hale suddenly invested in Brightech Studios and no one knows why, everyone started digging into the company. The only logical explanation they came up with is that Mr. Atkins must be another one of Mr. Fowler Senior's illegitimate grandsons since Mr. Fowler Senior invested in Brightech back in the day."It was such a ridiculous theory that the moment Nathan heard it, he thought it was absurd. Yet, plenty of people had bought into it. The thought had just crossed his mind when he heard Edward mutter, "I almost wish that Julian were an illegitimate child."Nathan was dumbfounded, wondering if Adrian wasn't troublesome enough.Naturally, he didn't say that out loud. He knew that the rumor was fake anyway. He had only mentioned it in passing.With the signed documents in hand, he quietly left the office.Edward was left alone. Ever sinc

    While dropping off some documents in the CEO's office at Fowler Group, Nathan brought up the business reception that night. He also briefly explained the scale of the event and the type of guests that would be attending."The Hart family will be there too. Are you planning to go, Mr. Fowler?" Nathan inquired. Edward stopped writing, pressed his lips together, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "I'll go."Fowler Group had just undergone an internal power struggle. Although Adrian never stood a chance at the CEO position, the board was still disappointed with Edward's actions. Moreover, his marriage alliance with the Hale family was a sham that would eventually be exposed, so he needed to secure as many partners as possible during this time."Alright. I'll prepare your bespoke suit for tonight," Nathan said. "But what about the injury on your chest? If you're wearing formal attire, you probably won't be able to wear the brace."Edward had been wearing oversized shirts and s

    Inside a ward at Eastlake General Hospital, Alice sneezed twice. Macie looked at her and asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold?""I don't think so," Alice responded. "It's probably just my mom nagging about me. There's a business reception tonight, and I'd rather not attend. I ignored her messages, so she had my brother pass the word to me."She sighed. She was tired of these events. Every time, she would feel like a soulless machine being dragged from one social obligation to another."Mrs. Hart still wants to set you up with someone?" Macie inquired.Alice nodded and started counting on her fingers. "In the upcoming week, I'm supposed to meet Mr. Wheeler's son from Goldmark Real Estate on Monday, Mr. Reid's son from Ironbound Group on Wednesday, and Mr. Norris' son from a machinery company on Saturday."There were so many names that she could barely remember them. Macie looked at her and sighed inwardly."If you don't genuinely like someone, I doubt you'd even want to date
