Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 47
Edward was focused on his phone, sending messages to get details about the auction items for tonight. Because of his concentration, he failed to notice Sharon's twisted, jealousy-filled expression.After dinner, Edward drove Sharon to the auction house.In the car, she thought to herself that Edward would surely buy something for her, too. As for whatever he got for Macie, Sharon figured that she could just take it later. Smirking slightly, she clenched her fists and scoffed inwardly.During the auction, Edward asked for her opinion, "Sharon, what do you think of this ruby necklace?"Sharon put on a smug expression upon hearing that. She had expected this. She knew that Edward wouldn't forget about her."It's beautiful. It's vibrant yet elegant," Sharon replied shyly, filled with anticipation.Edward rubbed his chin and commented, "Yes, but it's too striking. It wouldn't suit Macie. She looks better in soft, muted colors."Sharon's expectant expression froze. She bit her lip a

The excitement on Edward's face gradually faded at Sharon's words. He pressed his lips together, remained silent for a few seconds, then denied while frowning, "I'm not trying to appease Macie. Also, I'm not doing it out of my 'feelings' for her.""But didn't you buy the necklace for her?" Sharon asked through gritted teeth.Edward fell into a longer silence this time.A few minutes passed before he somewhat awkwardly said, "I was compensating her on your behalf. Don't overthink it. My marriage with her is just a formality forced by my grandfather. I will never love her."Sharon might have believed him before, but not this time. After all, when Edward bid on the Rose Crown, he didn't even glance at her. He simply fixated on it and relentlessly placed his bids.And yet, he never once mentioned buying anything for her.His feelings for Macie were obvious.They soon arrived at the apartment complex and took the elevator up.Holding a velvet box in his hand, Edward opened the lid t

"Give it to someone who likes it. I don't care," Macie said calmly.Edward felt like he was about to explode. He stared at Macie's expression. It was that same detachment and indifference he hated the most. She looked as if he were nothing more than a stranger to her."If you have nothing else to say, please leave. I'm going to sleep." Macie dismissed him."Sleep? It's only 10:00 pm!" Edward shouted. "I bought you a new necklace, didn't I? What more do you want? Tell me!"Macie instinctively stepped back when she saw Edward's aggressive stance, as if he was about to throw a punch. She couldn't help feeling afraid.If a husband hit his wife, it would just be considered domestic violence, not aggravated assault. Otherwise, Edward would serve at least a three-year sentence.As they stood off against each other, Macie's phone on the bed suddenly rang. She rushed over to grab it, ready to call the police if necessary.Edward caught a glimpse of her phone screen. It was still the old,

Gritting her teeth in silence, Macie glared at the deranged man before her.A rabid dog, a manic lunatic, a complete psychopath—none of those words seemed sufficient to describe Edward.The door was locked, reinforced with two extra security locks, and Edward himself stood guard beside it, refusing to budge.Macie turned back to her room, choosing to ignore the deranged man entirely.Edward's expression softened slightly when he saw her enter her room. Moments later, a box was thrown out of the room. He clenched his teeth in frustration but made no move to pick it up.After the noise settled, Sharon carefully opened the door of the guest room and stepped out.Spotting the necklace on the floor, she picked it up, then turned her gaze to Edward standing by the door. She approached him and uttered, her tone gentle and considerate, "Ed… You must have misunderstood May. She loves you so much, after all.""Misunderstood?" Edward let out an angry scoff. "For two years, she hasn't socia

Edward drove Sharon to the hospital. After a round of examinations in the emergency room, Sharon lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed in discomfort."Doctor, what happened to her? She only said she felt dizzy and unwell before fainting," Edward asked."Her vital signs are normal, and her heart rate is stable. It seems that she inhaled a small amount of gas, which caused her dizziness," the doctor replied.Edward froze for a moment at the mention of gas. He wondered if that strange smell he noticed when opening the door was natural gas."An accident at this hour is most likely due to a gas leak. You should report it immediately and have it inspected. If too much gas accumulates, it could lead to an explosion," the doctor warned seriously.Hearing the word "explosion", Edward suddenly remembered something."Macie! Macie is still at home!"As soon as the words left his mouth, he bolted for the exit. But just then, a weak cough came from the hospital bed."Ed..."Edward

"What about the woman with wavy hair? You have to save her, too!" the elderly neighbor called out again."I already sent her to the hospital earlier," Edward replied hastily, not catching her intention to pry for information. Without saying another word, he disappeared from sight.Behind him, the small group of onlookers exchanged glances, their faces lighting up as if their guesses had been proven right.They learned that the one who lived there permanently was actually his wife. Then the other woman must be...And it seemed that the man clearly knew about the gas leak. Otherwise, why would he have sent that woman to the hospital first?He even left his rightful wife to get out on her own and collapse at the door.They thought that Macie's situation was pathetic and pitiful.The man was handsome, but who knew that he was such a heartless, unfaithful scoundrel!…Edward sped toward the nearest hospital, calling Macie three or four times on the way, only for the calls to go una

For two patients to be rushed in for gas poisoning…The nurses, now well aware of what might have transpired, cast disgusted looks at the man in question.While Edward had rushed here in a panic, he was the one who only saved the mistress first when the accident happened. They didn't see the point of him pretending to be devoted now that his wife was still unconscious.That morning, Edward had taken leave from work and had waited outside the hospital room for an extended amount of time. He hadn't even gone to check on Sharon.Sharon eventually came looking for him. When Edward snapped out of his thoughts, he quickly helped her take a seat."How is May? It's all my fault. I passed out and didn't manage to wake her up." Sharon looked remorseful."It's not your fault. You're a victim, too," Edward said."Has the cause been investigated? Was there a gas leak?" she asked."No. They suspect that the flame went out while the gas stove was still on," Edward said, pressing his lips toge

"I'm seeing a side of her I never knew. She's vicious!" Edward stated.Hearing his furious rant, Sharon, who was sitting beside him with her head lowered, let a small smile flicker across her lips before quickly suppressing it.Although Edward had taken the whole day off, he returned to work by noon.Sharon remained at the hospital. Although she had regained consciousness, she still felt a little dizzy. Having hospital staff take care of her reassured Edward.Because of this incident, Edward was enveloped in a dark, brooding mood.Macie, driven by jealousy toward Sharon, had gone insane. She had caused a gas leak that could have killed all of them, even himself. She was nothing short of a terrorist!Nathan quickly noticed his boss' foul mood. Within an hour that afternoon, Edward had already lost his temper three times. Bracing himself, Nathan asked about it while retrieving some documents.While subordinates weren't supposed to pry into their boss' personal matters, knowing wha

"Dammit! Hurry up and go after Mr. Fowler," one of the bodyguards shouted anxiously.Without an elevator access card, they could only take the staff elevator. One ran down to chase after Edward, while the other called the control room to stop the elevators and contacted the security personnel outside the building to intercept him.Inside the elevator, Edward clenched his fist as his eyes locked on the floor numbers that crawled by in the panel display. He wished that it would go down faster.Finally, the elevator reached the second basement floor. As the doors opened, he was taken aback to find a line of security guards waiting for him.He hadn't expected them to move so fast. Gritting his teeth, he shot them a glare, hit the button, and sent the elevator racing back up to the first floor.Most of the security had already shifted to the underground garage, leaving the first floor sparsely guarded when Edward arrived.He dashed forward, shoved past four security personnel, and ran

Alice and Macie had dinner, then went home. After Macie took a shower, Alice offered to help her apply the medicine. Once she was done, she said, "Don't move. I need to take a couple of pictures."Macie looked confused. But before she could ask, Alice explained, "It's for the injury assessment. They need it for the police report. I mean, we are asking for five million dollars."Macie didn't question it.Alice snapped a few photos but wasn't satisfied. So, she edited them and added filters to make Macie's injuries appear more severe, then sent them to Edward.…At Fowler Group, Edward continued to work overtime in the office. When a message popped up on his phone, he quickly reached for it.The moment he opened it, his eyes landed on the picture of Macie's arm. There were several red welts across her arm, dark and vivid, like she'd been whipped. With her fair skin and slender arms, the wounds looked even more shocking.Edward's eyes began to sting. At that moment, a sharp, ac
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 236
When Edward fired off that sharp, accusing message, he froze. It felt like he was calling himself out.After all, how many times had Macie cooked for him while she was sick or injured? What right did he have to say something like that now?He couldn't stop thinking about the last time. Macie's feet were covered in blisters, and her lower back was injured. Yet, he still said something heartless. "If your foot's hurt, just stand still."She had worked hard to prepare the meal, but he hadn't even touched it. Instead, he scolded her, pushed her, and ended up fracturing her tailbone.Edward regretted it deeply. His guilt weighed so heavily that he slapped himself across the face. The sound echoed loudly in his office.He was worse than an animal.It was no wonder Macie finally lost it that day. She sprayed him with water in the bathroom and screamed at him to get out.He thought that deserved it and had brought it on himself. And now, all he could do was regret it.While he was lo

"We're heading off now, Sean." Alice waved as she spoke.Sean quietly hummed in acknowledgment, his eyes still fixed on Macie.Alice didn't pay much attention and simply walked over to Macie. Julian also said goodbye and left, noticing that Sean's gaze never left Macie.The three of them walked away together. A minute later, Julian glanced back and saw Sean still standing in the same spot, watching them.To be more precise, he was watching Macie.Julian pressed his lips together. He was now entirely sure that Sean liked Macie.Back where Sean stood, he watched them walk farther and farther away, never once getting close to him or even sparing him a single glance.Only now did Sean finally understand what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.Just that morning, he had demanded to know why Macie had been staring at him for so long. Well, now she wouldn't be staring anymore.She wouldn't even look at him.Sean let out a quiet sigh, walked over to the roadside, and drove back to

"Obviously, I'm going to do a good deed and inform the woman inside," Sean said.Alice was about to snap at him, but when she saw the mischievous smile on his face, she simply followed him.Inside the interrogation room, Sharon had stopped crying. Now she was just sniffling, her makeup smeared beyond recognition, looking absolutely dreadful. But she didn't care. Her mind raced with how to come up with five million dollars and the fact that she still had 15 days to serve in detention."Hey, Edward paid for you. You don't have to compensate anymore," Sean said.Sharon froze at first, then stared in disbelief, her eyes widening."What? But he—" she mumbled."He called me again after I left," Sean cut her off. "He had a change of heart. In the end, he just couldn't bear it."He sighed, his face full of sincerity. "See? Edward still likes you. Regardless of what he said before, he still wired five million dollars to me right away, didn't he?"Sharon's stunned expression shifted into

One of the bodyguards restraining Edward took out his phone, answered it, and held it to his ear. Sean's voice came through, "Mr. Fowler, are you here yet? My time is very valuable, you know."Edward gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me how badly Macie's injuries are. Where is she injured?"Sean replied, "Weren't you planning to come see for yourself?"Edward snapped, "Something came up and I can't go! Just tell me how she is!""And why should I tell you?" Sean answered lazily."You!" Edward was about to explode. At that moment, Sean officially became his number-one enemy."Didn't you want that five million dollars? I'll give it to you!" Edward growled.Hearing that he was willing to pay, Sean's lips curved slightly. However, Edward kept talking. "But I have conditions. You have to tell me exactly how Macie is, where she's hurt, and you're not allowed to take care of her. Alice will.""Alright," Sean agreed."Then hurry up and tell me!" Edward demanded."No can do. What if I

"Get out of my way! I'm going to a business meeting! If this causes a delay, can you afford to pay the penalty for breach of contract?" Edward snapped viciously.The bodyguards hesitated, doubt flickering on their faces. They wondered if Edward was really headed to a meeting. They questioned when a meeting had ever been that urgent without a heads-up from his assistant."Still not letting me through?" Edward barked again.The bodyguards exchanged looks and decided to follow him just in case."So this is why you've been behaving lately. You're being watched." Sean's mocking voice came through the phone."It's none of your damn business," Edward coldly retorted. "Is Macie hurt?" he asked.In the police station lobby, Sean looked at the woman now standing just outside the main doors and said, "Of course she's hurt. Think about it—your girlfriend sent three men to abduct her.""Sharon is not my girlfriend! Don't disgust me!" Edward snapped. "Is Macie seriously hurt? Where is she hur

Edward froze when he heard Sharon's name. He pressed his lips together and replied over the phone, "No. I have nothing to do with her."The finality of his words made Sharon break down completely, her sobs choking her voice."Yeah, sure. Who would believe that? Weren't you the one who made headlines with her in all those gossip scandals?" Sean sneered.Edward clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, replying weakly, "That was all a misunderstanding.""I don't care whether it was or not. Five million dollars. Transfer it now," Sean said."In your dreams! Whoever caused this incident should pay. Don't come to me like I'm some kind of lapdog!" Edward snapped. "I have nothing to do with Sharon anymore. We're done. Completely."He said it with complete determination, his tone cold and devoid of any emotion. And because the phone was on speaker, Sharon heard every word loud and clear. Her tears flowed even harder."Edward…"Her sobs hung in the air, but Edward's expression remained
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 230
Sharon's face turned pale under Sean's intense questioning. She trembled and stammered, "N-No, I didn't. I swear, I never meant for it to go that far. I just wanted to scare Macie into staying away from Edward. How could I do anything illegal? I'm a good person."Sean looked at her. He thought that if she truly were a good person, then everyone else in the world must be evil."Either resolve this with compensation or face it in court. Your choice," Sean said, throwing the decision to her.Sharon couldn't bring herself to say a single word about going to court. She didn't dare to. If Sean were to get involved, she would lose and probably have to pay even more. If he made this situation public, it would ruin her career. There was nothing to gain and everything to lose.After weighing all her options, Sharon clenched her teeth and asked the man, "Can I pay less? I can't come up with five million dollars."She turned on the charm, tears brimming in her eyes as she played the pity card
