Chapter 40

作者: Summer Blossom
Edward turned to Macie and asked, "Macie, why did you add more salt?"

"Oh no, these two dishes are too salty as well..." Sharon commented as she tasted each of the dishes. She then bit her lip and looked at Macie. "It could have been a mistake if only one dish was too salty, but for all of them to be too salty…

"May, I know you don't like seeing me eat the food you made, but Ed has to eat too. If you do this..."

She trailed off before putting on a magnanimous expression and turning to Edward.

"Ed, don't be mad. May is just jealous. I'm staying at your place, and she still has to cook for me... It's just because she loves you too much."

"Macie, you're an adult. Don't you think that you're being childish?" Edward couldn't hold back anymore and slammed the table. "Sharon is only staying here temporarily. Didn't I tell you beforehand? She'll only stay in your room for a short while. Can't you be a little more understanding?"

As the two of them echoed each other, Macie picked up her p

    Luca hadn't turned his head back yet, and in that split second, Elias made his move. Slipping into Luca's blind spot, he lunged forward and launched a flying kick.His sudden movement caught everyone off guard. Even Edward's eyes widened in surprise. It was the kind of strike that demanded perfect balance and core strength, but Elias pulled it off. His kick landed squarely on Luca.By the time Luca, who was in the middle of the road, realized what was going on, it was too late. Sensing the sudden shift of wind at his ear, he turned his head, only to see a boot hurtling straight at his face. Every nerve in his body urged him to dodge it, but he knew that he was a dead man that night. So, he pulled the trigger first.However, his thoughts lagged behind his reflexes. Before he could pull the trigger, the kick had already smashed into his face.In the blink of an eye, Luca was sent flying and his body tumbled across the ground. Macie went down with him, and his gun slipped out of his

    No one dared to move, and the tension hung in the air. Just then, Edward was wheeled over. The second he saw Macie being held at gunpoint, he almost leaped to his feet to rush over. His bodyguard hurriedly held him back and whispered, "He's armed, Mr. Fowler. We can't act recklessly, or Ms. Smith's life will be in danger.""The hostage is still alive. He's using her to threaten us. Our top priority is to keep her safe," added a nearby officer. Edward clenched his jaw when he heard that. When he noticed Macie was unconscious, her head lolling to the side, worry and fear surged through him.He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair so tightly that he almost looked like he wanted to launch himself at the gunman. However, he was afraid that the man would pull the trigger on Macie.Helpless and frustrated, he spotted Elias standing off to the side. "He's with them! Arrest him too, or he'll buy the man time to get away!"The police officer beside him followed his line of sight and

    Elias was still on the phone when he heard his bodyguards report that a pileup at the intersection had blocked the road. They were abandoning their cars and running toward him.Before he could respond, he heard the sound of something being dragged across the ground. He whipped his head around and noticed that the SUV was empty. The man who had taken Macie was attempting to whisk her away."Set her down!" Elias demanded before sprinting around the car. Luca heard him and turned sharply, only to find Elias right beside him. A heavy fist came flying at his face. He dropped Macie and barely dodged it, the punch grazing his right cheek. The moment his fist missed its mark, Elias knew that his opponent could fight, so he immediately followed with a fierce kick. Luca staggered back several steps and dodged the blow before regaining his balance and launching a counterattack.The two of them squared off in a no-holds-barred brawl.Elias had spent three years in a military field camp, tr

    Sharon pulled out the SIM card that the Hales knew about and tossed it away, keeping only the one she had used to secretly contact Rico. However, when she tried to call Raymond with that number, he still didn't answer. Gritting her teeth, she cursed him for being a useless piece of shit. He had promised her that everything would go off without a hitch, swearing that their operation was foolproof. Yet, he had thrown her under the bus.Still, that did nothing to change her situation. Sharon had fled in the middle of the night and wasted her money.If she had known how things would turn out, she would have converted all that money into cash and taken it with her. Sharon loathed Raymond with every fiber of her being, wishing that he'd be run over by a car and crushed into a mangled mess. That was the only way to vent a fraction of her anger. …At exactly 8:10 pm, on a stretch of highway, the black SUV that had taken Macie had been rammed several times by a Jeep. If the vehicle hadn'

    After hearing that, Sharon's hand by her side tightened around the fabric of her clothes. Still, she forced herself to keep her composure without the slightest crack."It wasn't my doing, Dad. I haven't gone out lately. I'm sure you, Mom, and Elias have all noticed that," she lied, using all of her strength to put on her best act.Edmund was skeptical of her response. So, he decided to put her to the test. "If it were your doing, it would be the fourth time you've tried to harm Macie. I can't keep covering for you with the Fowlers. "However, if it really is your doing, I'll send you to a safe place right away. That way, you'd escape the worst of what's coming."After hearing his concern for her and his offer to send her away, she realized that Edmund was still on her side. For a moment, she almost admitted to everything.However, the confession died in her throat because she knew that Edmund wouldn't protect her anymore once they uncovered Macie's true identity. In fact, he'd wan
