Author: Summer Blossom
Yosef let out a cold snort, his face expressionless as he continued, "Didn't you hear what Nathan said? Edward didn't hesitate when he dumped all the blame on Macie. He did it without a second thought. He believed every word Sharon said, no questions asked.

"At that point, he wouldn't have trusted anyone else. And now, you're saying that Edward's the innocent one? Do you think Macie should come running back? Please. No one held a gun to his head and made him treat her that way."

"…If it weren't for Sharon, Mr. Fowler wouldn't have treated Ms. Smith like that," Nolan mumbled.

Yosef coldly interjected, "There's no if. Sharon did come back. That's the reality. And with her back in the picture, she was going to stir things up. That's what she does.

"Sharon is despicable. But Edward is just as bad.

"To let himself be manipulated like that, to lash out without investigating, to accuse and wound someone so deeply without bothering to check the truth? And he's supposed to be the top exec

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 794

    Alice immediately grabbed Diana's arm and said through gritted teeth, "Mom, don't do it. It would look like you're begging Elias. As the Hart family's daughter, do I really need to stoop to that level? I have my pride, too, you know."Alice thought that this was beyond embarrassing. The thought of her mother asking him to be her opening dance partner made her cringe at the thought of the humiliation.She grabbed Diana's arm and stopped her from leaving. As she scanned the crowd, she noticed three or four young men making their way toward her.But they were all so unattractive that she couldn't stand the sight of them. With the prelude nearly over, Alice said, "I'll just ask Sean.""What's the point of having your brother as your opening dance partner?" Diana said disapprovingly."What's wrong with him being my partner? It's not like he isn't good enough," Alice shot back. "Just don't even think about approaching Elias. I'm not going to humiliate myself." After saying that, she s

    "Mr. Hart, are you referring to the lady in the white dress with shoulder-length hair?" Elias asked again to make sure he had the right person."Yeah, that's Macie," Sean said flatly. "It's Alice's birthday today, so she came to wish her. But if it weren't for your people, do you think she would've left right after dropping off her gift?"Elias pressed his lips together at these words.Was Macie afraid of seeing them? Was she afraid that he might hurt her?"Mr. Hale, please come inside. My parents are already here," Sean added.His tone brooked no argument, making it clear that Elias was not to go chasing after Macie.Elias turned to look once more into the night, then slowly began climbing the steps.Sean thought he was still being stubborn and patiently waited alongside him the entire time, making sure to escort him into the venue.As Elias walked, his mind wandered, and Macie's face kept replaying in his mind. At the same time, distant memories of every smile and expression

    Macie instinctively glanced behind her. Seeing the bodyguard still following her helped calm her racing heart. But before she could fully turn around, her foot missed a step. With a startled cry, she stumbled forward."Watch out!" the bodyguard shouted, lunging forward to catch her.But before he could reach her, someone from below cleared three steps in a single, powerful stride. A second later, he caught her firmly in his arms.Safe in his steady grip, the panic in her chest finally began to settle.Then, a deep male voice rumbled above her head and asked, "Are you alright, miss?""I'm fine," Macie replied, looking up to meet a pair of cold, almost menacing eyes in a stern face.The man who had just arrived was none other than Elias Hale. When he saw Macie's face in his arms—especially her eyes—he froze. He wondered why she looked so familiar. There was something about her that made him think of his younger sister from years ago.Macie had regained her footing. However, Elia

    "You must be Macie. Alice talks about you all the time," Diana smiled and said, pretending that this was their first meeting.Macie didn't call her out on it. She exchanged polite pleasantries before turning to Alice and handing her a gift."Happy birthday. May you stay radiant and joyful through all the years ahead," Macie said warmly.Alice smiled as she accepted the gift. "Thank you, May. Here's to a friendship that lasts a lifetime," she said.Macie smiled in response.Diana chimed in, "You're one of the few friends Alice invited tonight. Have a wonderful time and enjoy the evening."Macie turned to her, picking up on the subtext. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hart. But I'll probably need to leave soon. I just wanted to drop off Alice's gift because I have something else to attend to later," she said.Diana nodded, her smile polite. "I won't keep you if you're in a rush. Visit us when you're free. We'd be happy to have you.""Thank you for the invitation. That's really kind of you, an

    "Got it…" Edward muttered.Nolan raised his hospital bed to a sitting position, then set the meal on the bedside table. Edward ate slowly while savoring every bite. He had thought that yesterday would be his last home-cooked meal, but Macie had surprised him again that day. He knew he only got to enjoy these meals because he was hospitalized, but even so, her cooking felt like an unexpected silver lining.At that moment, Nolan mentioned to Yosef that Macie would be attending Alice's birthday party. He also added that he had arranged for the bodyguard to follow and protect her."Find someone to stay close to Macie and go in with her. Security is tight at these events, but…" Yosef pressed his lips together, leaving the sentence unfinished.But if the Hale family brought Sharon in, the Hart family couldn't refuse them. That was precisely why Macie needed protection.Nolan understood the unspoken message. He briefed the bodyguard following Macie and also notified the Hart family i

    Macie took a shower, washed her hair, did her skincare routine, and then put on makeup. By the time she was done, the chicken soup in the kitchen had finished simmering.Since Edward's diet needed to be light and easy to digest, she added some steamed vegetables. Once everything was packed, she changed her clothes and shoes, then headed out of the residential complex.Alice had arranged everything in advance, so someone was already waiting when Macie stepped out of the building. The driver got out and opened the car door for her. Only then did Macie realize that it was Charlie."Please get in, Ms. Smith," he said, smiling.She instinctively glanced inside the car. However, Charlie seemed to know her thoughts and said proactively, "Mr. Hart is already at the venue. He's quite busy tonight, so he couldn't come pick you up personally.""No, that's not who I was looking for." Macie quickly waved her hands.A wave of relief washed over her when she saw that Sean wasn't there. She'd
