"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

"Miss, if anyone asks if I'm awake, just say that I woke up and fell asleep again," Macie said.The nurse looked at her and nodded despite thinking that Edward probably wouldn't ask.Macie was in a private hospital room. She lay in bed, staring blankly out the window.She wanted to leave and go far away from those two despicable people. She couldn't understand why they still had to torment her when she would be leaving in just three days.Only three days left. No, two.She could finally leave tomorrow.Macie closed her eyes. She had already packed everything. Now, she just wished time would pass faster.At noon, an unexpected visitor arrived.It was Nathan."Mrs. Fowler, how are you?" Nathan greeted. He brought a fruit basket with him. "Mr. Fowler asked me to check if you were awake."Macie remained expressionless and didn't feel like responding. The mere mention of Edward filled her with hatred."As long as you're okay, Mr. Fowler can rest easy. He's actually very worried a
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 56
Edward was deep in thought when a knock on the office door interrupted him. It was Nathan."Has she woken up?" Edward asked as soon as Nathan stepped in."Yes," Nathan replied. "I also spoke with the nurse about Mrs. Fowler's condition. She's recovering well and no longer needs oxygen, but she's still easily fatigued."Edward showed no reaction, his expression remaining cold and unreadable. He didn't show the slightest trace of relief or joy at the news. Nathan observed him for a few moments before turning to leave. But before he could step out, Edward spoke again."Find a place.""A place?" Nathan paused, puzzled."Decent environment, high security, private, and fully furnished." Edward listed his requirements succinctly. Nathan couldn't help but wonder if Edward was planning to move out with that mistress of his."Understood. I'll start looking," he responded, nodding.Just as he reached the door, Edward's voice came again."Did she say anything else?"Nathan halted, turn

Sean thought that Edward was truly scum. Alice had said that the one who stirred up trouble that day was Edward's ex-girlfriend—the same woman he had flaunted publicly as his mistress while still married.Now, Macie and Edward were divorced, yet the mistress still showed up in front of the ex-wife, while Edward just stood by and did nothing. Sean really thought that Edward was a piece of trash.Not long after, the officer from the interrogation room emerged again, this time with a few others."Mr. Hart, Ms. Hart, Ms. Smith," he addressed them. "Surveillance footage confirms that the suspect was the first to lay hands on Ms. Smith and made a deliberate attempt to drag her into a car by the roadside. This establishes criminal intent."Also, our investigation confirms that the three men were not the suspect's bodyguards, but were hired by her. They've admitted to receiving payment from the suspect to abduct Ms. Smith."Alice immediately said, "I knew it! Sharon was still making excus

Alice knew that her own injury wasn't even worth mentioning, so she walked over to Macie and tugged up the sleeve of her shirt. She stated, "Look at this. May's arm is going to be all bruised by tomorrow."Sean looked at the woman Alice had pulled over. Her fair, slender arm was covered in several glaring marks. It was evidently caused by someone grabbing her forcefully. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.Macie felt uneasy under his stare and quickly pulled her sleeve back down. But the moment she did, Alice yanked it up again and turned toward the officers."Look at this. Does that woman look like she came just to talk things out? If she only wanted to talk, why did she get physical?"The officers glanced at Macie's arm. Just then, Sean's voice cut in, cold and sharp. "My sister and her friend were attacked. I hope your station handles this seriously and doesn't let the perpetrators walk away unpunished."The officers turned to Sean. The man had an overwhelming presence. Eve

"Who could possibly beat you?" Sean asked.Alice snapped, "I'm not joking! Edward's ex-girlfriend ambushed me and May, and she brought three thugs with her! May and I both got hurt! And they ruined my favorite handbag!"Sean furrowed his brow when he heard this. Alice kept going on, full of grievance and rage, until he cut in, saying, "Send me the location of the police station."Alice hung up and saw that the police had already arrived. They had come just in time.Sharon and the three men were all caught. Not a single one got away.The three of them headed to the nearby police station. It was the same one as before. Macie and Julian were already familiar with the place.In the lobby, Alice sent Sean the location. The three gave their statements while Sharon and the men were taken into an interrogation room.When they finished, one of the officers came out to mediate. "Ms. Emerson said that those men are her bodyguards. She claims that she wasn't trying to abduct anyone. It seem

When Macie heard that Edward had driven Sharon away, she was a little surprised. Alice was even more shocked, but Macie quickly said coldly, "I really did get divorced. He's the one who keeps pestering me. We're going to court next week." She glanced at Sharon. "Once that's over, Edward and I will have nothing to do with each other. Don't believe me? Come to the court yourself."Sharon frowned when she heard that, clearly unconvinced.What if they went to court and the divorce didn't go through? Then she would just end up being played yet again."May's right. She and that scumbag Edward are definitely getting divorced," Alice said mockingly. "You're the only one who still treats him like he's some kind of prize. No one else gives a damn. "You two had better lock it down. When you get married, I'll show up with a gift and wish you all the happiness in the world."Sharon shot Alice a glare. Wasn't this the same woman who had bragged last time that Edward was about to marry her?

Sean couldn't help but think to himself that he'd really gone too far. He wondered how he was any different from the bullies who had tormented Macie.He remembered how Macie had looked that morning with her anger held back, forced to endure his teasing with a fake smile. Meanwhile, he found it amusing, as if it were some kind of game to him.He couldn't believe what a monster he had been.Macie's quiet demeanor was the result of years of enduring suffering, with her anger only surfacing when she was pushed too far.Macie was a young woman with a vintage landscape as her profile picture—someone who had already seen the world's harshness and matured well beyond her years. And all of this was the result of childhood trauma and constant bullying. At this moment, Sean could no longer dismiss what Alice had told him. He fully believed her now. …After returning to her private office downstairs, Alice didn't dare admit to Macie how spineless she had felt. All she could do was firmly

"Stop it right now. Don't bully my friend anymore, or I swear I won't let you off easy," Alice warned. However, Sean didn't even flinch, arrogantly ignoring her threat.Alice was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She wouldn't win if she argued or fought with Sean. He could easily slap her down to the ground, and she wouldn't even be able to get back up. If anyone else had bullied Macie, she would have gone all in, but this person was Sean—her brother, the one who had always pushed her around since they were kids.Alice sighed, moving from anger to helplessness, feeling stuck and useless. She couldn't protect Macie and felt she wasn't a good friend. "Macie has already been through enough. Can't you show a little compassion? Stop bullying an innocent, vulnerable lady!" Alice tried softening her tone. "You don't know how much Macie has suffered. Do you even have an ounce of human decency?" She switched tactics, telling him everything she knew about Macie's past and th

It looked like Macie hadn't just been flustered—she'd fully entered rage monster mode. Sean could imagine her fists flew, as if they could actually do damage, even though they barely stung. He genuinely found it endearing.When Sean finished reading the last screenshot, he closed the chat and saw a new message from Alice. Her text read, "So, are you going to explain why you were flirting with my friend? "And what about the things you said to Edward last night? It sounds like you meant what you said. You weren't just playing along with me."Did you put your arm around Macie's waist? Hold her hand? You had better come clean!" Sean just typed a simple response. He typed, "Go ask her if I did that." Alice, on the other end, was speechless.Sometimes, Alice really wondered if Sean was just a brooding, black-bellied guy with an obsession with keeping things mysterious. She didn't respond right away. Instead, she stormed over to his office, yanked a chair out, and took a seat rig
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 222
Alice immediately called Macie, venting all her frustration about Sean. She cursed him as much as she could, even bringing up stories from their childhood to illustrate just how terrible he had been.Macie listened to how Alice described her miserable childhood, living under the shadow of Sean, enduring various "torments".As Alice spoke, Macie couldn't help but picture that insufferable face, and she felt that it wasn't surprising he could do such things. If he treated his own sister that way, what would he do to her? Indeed, some people's bad habits formed when they were young. Macie felt sympathy for Alice, and what started as one person venting turned into a united front, two people joining in on the complaints."Ugh, my brother's the worst. When we were kids, he ripped the ears off my plush bunny, and then claimed it was the turtle pillow that did it." Alice continued, venting, "I love cake, but I got cavities. He'd eat it right in front of me and mock me for not being able
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 221
Not far from Macie's workstation, Lily had been listening to their conversation, especially when Macie, with a hint of pride, casually mentioned her good relationship with Sean. Lily's fists tightened, and a flash of hatred and jealousy crossed her eyes. There was also a sense of helplessness and resentment. Julian hadn't fired her, but had only made her apologize publicly in the company's group chat, and now this happened.Macie was not only Alice's friend, but she also had a close relationship with Sean. Moreover, Julian clearly favored Macie, openly confessing his admiration for her.Macie's relationships within the department would only be stronger. Her promotion to team leader would only be a matter of time. Lily had crossed her, and sooner or later, she'd be the one getting sidelined. Lily was already worried about her future and deeply regretted causing trouble for Macie on her first day. She shouldn't have tried to embarrass her last night either. At her desk, with ju
