Chapter 54

Author: Summer Blossom
"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

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 728

    Xavier asked, "Are you guys here to shop too?"Alice couldn't help but think about how obvious the answer to his question was."Yeah. We got here pretty early and finished our shopping already. You two must have just arrived," she said, smiling.Xavier missed the barb entirely, but Zara felt every word like a slap. She was clenching her jaw so hard that she thought she might pass out from anger.They hadn't "just arrived" but had instead been strolling about for nearly two hours. All she bought was a handbag, while Alice was loaded down with shopping bags.What else could that comment have meant, if not showing off and throwing shade by saying she had "just arrived"?"Yes. We've just arrived," Xavier replied. Then, he continued, "And this is…"Alice glanced up at Elias, who was standing beside her. She was about to introduce him properly, but then had second thoughts and smiled faintly."Just a friend, I guess. My mom's hoping we'll hit it off, but that's just her wishful think

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 727

    Just then, several young women passed by, and they couldn't help but stare at Elias. He was undeniably tall, handsome, and impossible to ignore. Looking at his arms loaded with shopping bags, that combination of physical strength and spending power was enviable.Unfortunately for them, he already had a girlfriend. He seemed to dote on the woman in front of him, adjusting his angles and taking photos of her as if it were second nature.There was another reason these women didn't dare make a move. It was because the wealthy, handsome man's girlfriend was stunning. She had that radiant, sophisticated beauty with star-quality presence that made them feel completely outclassed. All they could do was admire this perfect couple from afar.After Elias had taken what felt like hundreds of photos of Alice on his phone, she finally seemed satisfied."Send me all of them later so I can pick which ones are good enough for social media," she said.Elias was at a loss. First, he helped her take

    Although Alice's ankle was doing better, it started to ache and swell again after just an hour of walking that morning. But how could such a trivial obstacle dampen her shopping enthusiasm? With advanced technology at her disposal, she simply hopped onto an electric scooter and glided effortlessly through the mall, leaving Elias trudging behind on foot.At 5:00 pm, he dragged himself into yet another store. His feet were completely numb, and his expression matched the numbness. When he spotted a cushioned bench, he made a beeline for it and collapsed onto the seat with immense relief.He and Alice had been shopping for seven straight hours. Aside from a one-hour lunch break, he hadn't stopped moving or sat down once. He stared blankly at Alice, who was still obsessing over racks of clothes.She even turned around to ask him, "What do you think of this one? I need a guy's opinion.""The style and color are fine, but…" he replied flatly, then trailed off. Alice looked at him quiz

    The neighborhood looked average. Elias couldn't believe that Alice was living in such an apartment complex. When she had sent him the location earlier, he had asked her to confirm it twice. He even thought that she was messing with him. To his surprise, she actually was staying there.Once she got into the passenger seat, he asked, "Where to?""Sterling Boulevard," she replied.Elias knew that place since he'd taken Sharon shopping there for clothes and jewelry before. It was one of those upscale shopping districts lined with luxury brands.He then drove toward their destination. Maybe it was the stillness in the car, or perhaps he just didn't understand why Alice wanted to go there, but the silence that fell felt a little awkward. So, he casually asked, "You live here?""Yes," she responded."I thought you'd be staying at your family's place," Elias said."I'm staying here for the time being," Alice explained.As he listened, his mind wandered to that frail-looking woman.

    Over the next few days, Macie stuck to her routine. She would go to work during the day, then pick up groceries on the way home to cook for Alice in the evening.Edward didn't show up again, and she hadn't faced any threats since. Her life seemed to have found its rhythm again, calm and safe.That evening, Alice was enjoying her after-dinner dessert. Macie had been thoughtful with her meal planning. Everything she prepared was balanced, nutritious, and most importantly, delicious. Alice had gotten a little carried away and gained two pounds in the past few days."It's just two pounds," Macie said, smiling. "You can't even tell.""I've got a belly now," Alice muttered, pinching at her waist."Fortunately, it's only noticeable when you're sitting down," Macie reassured her.Alice complained about the weight gain but still polished off every bite of dessert before collapsing contentedly on the couch. "Honestly, May, I should just marry you. I haven't felt this happy in a long ti

    Sharon was seething as she listened to Alice's outrageous demands. She could barely contain herself from calling Alice shameless right then and there.She couldn't believe the audacity of Alice's claim of buying whatever caught her eye. What if she had decided that she wanted every single handbag in a display case? Would Elias have been expected to purchase the entire collection? Additionally, Alice also demanded that Elias accompany her. She was clearly doing it on purpose since Diana had been trying to set them up.Sharon was convinced that Alice had set her sights on Elias and was making her move. The thought made her blood boil as she gritted her teeth and glared at Alice. She would not allow Alice to marry into the Hale family.Meanwhile, Alice sipped her juice with barely concealed satisfaction while watching Sharon glaring daggers at her. She thought that Sharon deserved this. Since she couldn't deal with Sharon directly, she'd make her brother pay for it instead. She was
