Chapter 446

Author: Summer Blossom
Macie's gaze didn't waver. She wouldn't have to wait one year anymore. Instead, she could head straight to the second trial and finalize the divorce.

When she said that, Xavier fell silent. In his office, he leaned back with one leg crossed over the other. His mouth dropped open, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Was Edward truly unable to perform? Xavier couldn't believe that he was genuinely impotent. Then, how'd he even get a mistress? He wondered if they were just helping each other out… manually.

Could the powerful CEO of Fowler Group, the chosen heir, the only legitimate heir, really have bedroom problems?

If that news were published, the Fowlers would never live it down. The whole industry would laugh at them for years.

Naturally, Xavier couldn't say any of that to the pure and innocent Macie. His expression shifted to something more cautious as he probed for gossip.

"Does Edward have a physical issue? That would be solid proof," he said.

"I don't know if it's physical,"

    "Honestly, Ms. Smith might not even like you. With that filthy mouth of yours, you've probably pissed off every woman you've ever met. You're not seriously going to stay single forever, are you?" Xavier teased.Sean went silent on the other end of the line. The call abruptly ended after that.Xavier burst out laughing and felt like he'd finally scored a point. But then he stared at the ceiling and was still bored out of his mind.He still wasn't in the mood for clubbing. He couldn't even rise to the occasion anymore.Even chatting with some young model reminded him how badly he had embarrassed himself that night and made him want to crawl under a rock.He flipped through movies on the streaming app but found nothing worth watching. So, he went to play games but was so distracted that he kept losing.Eventually, Xavier sprawled out on his bed. His eyes glazed over, and his head dangled off the edge. He figured that this was the universe's way of getting back at him. He'd been too

    Xavier figured it wasn't surprising that Sean hadn't noticed. After all, he saw Alice nearly every day. But this wasn't some subtle shift. She'd transformed from a teenager into a full-blown knockout. He had barely recognized her.He said, "I haven't seen her in six years. It's normal to notice a difference."Sean replied, "Back in college, you always hung out at my home, and you saw her almost every day. She was still in high school then, and her appearance hadn't changed much since."Xavier took a deep breath but held back what he really wanted to say. He wasn't about to argue with his clueless friend. Otherwise, they'd be debating until dawn.He couldn't believe Sean thought a 17-year-old looked the same as a 24-year-old.Women typically changed a lot during those years. At 17, women were like factory settings—untouched and unpolished. But at 24, they'd had complete upgrades, bug fixes, and a significant glow-up.And Sean had clearly never heard of the magic of makeup. That st

    Judging by how things turned out that evening, Macie believed that she might have been too worried.Aside from Alice getting a little handsy attention, she basically came out on top that night.Macie stayed on the line with Alice until the latter got home. After they hung up, Alice stepped through the front door, and her scowl disappeared. She brushed Diana off and headed upstairs.Sean came out of his room holding a glass and casually asked, "So? Anyone catch your eye tonight?"Alice replied flatly, "You know what you remind me of?"He looked confused."You sound like one of those pushy matchmaking moms from a reality show," she replied, smiling.Sean was taken aback and shot back, "How can you talk like that? I'm just looking out for you. I care about your future happiness.""Do you think I'll just let you marry a guy just because you like him? He still has to get through me first. If he doesn't pass my test, it's not happening."Alice pouted and didn't say anything. She w

    Alice had no reason to mess with Xavier since he hadn't done anything to her. Thinking back, everything she'd said and done had made sense.Her surprise came only because she recognized him, and then she left. When he handed her the glass of juice, she accepted it and drank without suspicion because she knew he wouldn't harm her.Alice had said she wasn't dating anyone, mentioned having a strict brother, and noted that Xavier was the same age as him—all of which lined up perfectly.Xavier couldn't help but blame himself. It was his fault that he hadn't even bothered to ask her name before diving headfirst into the charm routine. He regretted flirting first and then figuring things out later.He never had a problem flirting with women, but he finally slipped up that day. When someone played with fire long enough, they were bound to get burned.He covered his face in frustration. After sitting in the parking lot for ten whole minutes, he finally sighed deeply and started the engine

    "Damn it! You never say anything nice," Kaleb teased, grinning.Xavier looked at Alice. Speaking with the tone of a caring brother, he said, "You stay here and have fun. I'm leaving now. We'll get together with Sean another day.""I'm leaving too. I've been here long enough, and I need to update him," Alice replied, her smile playful.Xavier understood her meaning. He finally realized that Sean had forced her to attend that cruise party that evening. She had mentioned not being allowed to go out alone on weekends and that her brother was strict. Everything she said aligned with Sean's character, but why hadn't Xavier connected the dots earlier?He felt mixed emotions and thought he must've gotten out on the wrong side of the bed that day. Of course it had to happen right in front of her. He couldn't remember the last time he felt that stupid.Xavier pushed his thoughts aside and grinned. "Let me give you a ride home," he said."No need. I drove myself, but we can head out toget

    Xavier wondered how Sean was involved in this. Kaleb's question hit Xavier out of nowhere as he stiffly turned and looked at the woman's faint, sweet smile.He instantly seemed to recall something from six years ago. The radiant woman before him blurred into the image of a chubby young woman in black-rimmed glasses from high school. Now, he understood why the woman looked so familiar.After staring at her for several seconds in disbelief, Xavier finally stammered out her name. "Ali... Alice Hart." She nodded, and her smile grew even warmer and genuine. His heart skipped a beat. He forced a grin and nearly coughed up blood.What was supposed to be a casual night of flirting turned into a full-blown meltdown. He hadn't just crashed and burned. He'd crash-landed in his own backyard and set it on fire.Alice or Ali, as Xavier usually called her, was someone he'd always treated like a younger sister. But now, he was flirting with her and had even tried to seduce her.His guilt hit
