Chapter 413

작가: Summer Blossom
Nathan stepped out of the main entrance, flagged down a cab, and slid into the back seat. As soon as he was settled, he called Macie. Unbeknownst to him, a gray van was parked by the roadside.

"He's on the move, and he has a laptop with him," a man wearing sunglasses said into his earpiece.

"Follow him," a male voice responded.

The van's engine roared to life, pulling into traffic a few cars behind Nathan's cab.

Inside the cab, after Macie picked up his call, Nathan said, "There's something I need to tell you, Ms. Smith. It's related to you."

"Just call me by my name," she responded.

Old habits were hard to shake. He had spent so much time speaking to her formally. But that didn't matter now; what mattered was what he had to share. He soon summarized everything—the surveillance footage, the data restoration, and what it revealed.

On the other end of the line, Macie listened, her expression stoic. After all, this was just confirming what she already knew. Edward never believed

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 498

    Sharon was thrilled that she hadn't been exposed.She reminded herself to stay confident as she couldn't afford to act paranoid. The more nervous and skittish she was, the easier it would be for her to slip up and raise Elias' suspicion.Her gaze sharpened. Everything with the orphanage had already been coordinated in advance. As long as she got rid of Macie soon, all her loose ends would be tied up.Elias would soon arrive, so Sharon quickly got out of bed and began tidying up the room.There was an open suitcase on the floor, underwear draped over a chair, shoes and unwashed socks at the foot of the bed, used makeup wipes and cotton swabs scattered beside the trash bin.The place was a mess. There was hardly any space to walk.She moved quickly, shoving all her clothes into the suitcase and zipping it shut before pushing it into the corner. She kicked the shoes under the bed and gathered up all the trash.Even the boxed mac and cheese on the desk was cleaned up. Finally, she f

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 497

    What Sharon feared most was a last-minute complication. She was concerned that Elias might be doubting the file.She didn't know whether Raymond's explanation about the altered age would hold up. It made her anxious, but she couldn't take the initiative to reach out. That would make her seem desperate to get close, and her carefully crafted persona would fall apart.Her eyes remained fixed on the phone screen as her mind replayed scenarios, analyzing every angle.Raymond had said that Mitch left right after taking the file. He hadn't shown any suspicion at the time. Still, even if Elias had doubts and tried to investigate further, what could he actually find?Everything else about her past had been her own. The only thing she had changed was the orphanage record.That was the only official document. There was nothing else to contradict it.Sharon tensed up, but as she ran through her reasoning over and over, a bit of calm began to settle in. Then her phone screen suddenly lit u

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 496

    Ten minutes passed before Elias finally pulled himself out of the emotional weight he had been carrying. He had come to accept everything that had happened to Sharon.As her brother, he would support her unconditionally, guide her upward, and help her walk the right path.Just then, the results from Mitch's investigation came in."Mr. Hale..." Mitch hesitated again, his voice filled with uncertainty.Elias could already guess. It seemed that Sharon really had spent time in a detention center. Keeping his expression neutral, he said calmly, "Tell me everything."Hearing Elias' composed tone, Mitch couldn't help but admire the former's ability to stay level-headed. He knew that Elias couldn't truly be that calm. After all, if his own sister had done half of what Sharon had, he would've already lost his mind.Even if they had just reunited, he'd definitely have lectured her first."Ms. Emerson was held at Detention Center No. 3 on Fulton Street for 15 days. She was released three d

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 495

    Elias was different from most. He was almost too righteous—so much so that he didn't show the slightest bias even toward a sister he had just reunited with.It made Mitch feel like he had been projecting his own thinking onto someone much more principled.Elias hadn't once tried to cover things up or deny anything. Yet here Mitch was, frantically trying to preserve Sharon's image, worrying over things more than the person who actually mattered.During their phone call, new information landed in Mitch's inbox again.This time, it wasn't about Edward's divorce. He hadn't even gotten around to digging into that yet. It was about Sharon."Mr. Hale," Mitch said seriously over the phone, "the modeling agency where Ms. Emerson used to work not only fired her, but is now pursuing a breach-of-contract penalty of two million dollars."That instantly pulled Elias' attention. He asked, "Breach of contract? On what grounds?"He had assumed that she had resigned on her own, but now it turned

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 494

    Mitch was drenched in cold sweat as he frantically scrolled through his inbox, hoping to find any new piece of evidence that could prove Sharon's innocence.On the other end of the line, Elias said nothing. He had already started to accept the truth. Sharon was, in the public's eyes, a homewrecker and the party at fault.The image of her flashed through his mind—reserved, cautious, timid even. She couldn't hold eye contact and was always so careful around him.Elias truly couldn't imagine how such a quiet, modest young woman could have done something so disgraceful.Rubbing his brow with his right hand, Elias felt mentally drained. He had just found his long-lost sister after 20 years, yet at that moment, he felt no joy at all.He couldn't possibly tell their parents about this. And having only just reunited with Sharon, without yet making up for the lost time, he certainly couldn't start their relationship with a reprimand.While he was lost in his thoughts, Mitch suddenly came

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 493

    Mitch quickly compiled all the requested materials, sent them over, and waited quietly for Elias' next instructions.Elias began with the photo.The first image showed Sharon falling during a runway show, with a man stepping in to help her.The second showed the man carrying her out. This one clearly showed his face.The third was a paparazzi shot of them at the entrance of a hotel.The fourth had them together at an auction.The fifth was a photo Sharon had posted of the nine-million-dollar rose necklace.Elias said nothing. He stared at the image of the man's face, his eyes filled with fury and cold intent. The trending search of "the heir of the Fowler family" made it crystal clear.What other Fowler family could there possibly be?So the man was indeed Yosef's grandson, Edward. The man looked polished and put-together on the outside, but was, in truth, a married cheater. He was the man who had seduced and misled Elias' innocent sister, leaving her labeled as a homewrecker.
