"Impressive. You're still as strong as ever," Alice remarked over the video call.She asked, "Did you see the gossip piece I sent you? Why haven't you replied?"Macie hadn't responded yet when Alice suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right! You've been abroad for two years. You probably don't even know who Edward Fowler is."Macie lowered her gaze, remaining silent. How could she not know? She had been his housekeeper during that time."He was in our college too, but in the finance department while we studied digital media arts."Alice clucked her tongue before continuing, "I heard he broke up with his girlfriend in junior year. But who would've thought that they'd get back together four years later..." She continued rambling, speaking unclearly while brushing her teeth.Macie, not wanting to interrupt her friend's enthusiasm, turned the volume to its lowest setting. Alice was her college roommate and a close friend, but she had no idea that Macie and Edward had actually been

"Mr. Blackwood, you may leave. Just make sure that the trending topic is taken down," Edward said.Alaric was momentarily stunned but quickly nodded in relief. "I assure you, this won't happen again.""There's no need for overnight shifts. My personal affairs are my own to handle," Edward said indifferently.With that, Alaric left. Nathan was about to follow when Edward stopped him. "Did you find the place I asked for?""I've shortlisted five properties. When you have time, you can review them," Nathan replied. "Now," Edward curtly instructed.Nathan immediately sent the files to Edward's email and prepared to go through them individually. But before he could finish describing the first option, Edward cut him off, saying, "This one."Nathan paused, surprised. He had expected Edward to be picky or even reject all of them, forcing him to look for more options. But instead, the latter made an immediate decision, as if he were eager to move that woman out as soon as possible.With

"Ed, please don't be mad at me, okay? I swear, I didn't mention your name," Sharon pleaded, her voice fragile, as if she were on the verge of breaking.Edward took a deep breath and said, "Even if you posted it from a private account without mentioning my name, the Rose Crown necklace is one of a kind. The paparazzi were already hounding me after the fashion show incident.""I'm sorry, Ed. I didn't think it through…" Sharon sobbed.Hearing her cry, Edward pressed his lips together and stayed silent for a few seconds.He ultimately decided to let it go. He thought that Sharon was a simple person and had probably posted it out of excitement. As for the timing, she had said that she was up late last night, so he figured that it likely wasn't intentional."Stop crying. I was just asking. Just don't post things so casually in the future. It's too easy for the paparazzi to link us together," Edward said, his tone softening.Sharon sniffled, her voice still slightly choked, but the corn

Instead of the familiar voice Edward was expecting, a mechanical prompt sounded. "Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please try again later."Edward froze. He didn't know why the number could be unavailable.He hung up and redialed Macie's number repeatedly. But each time, he got the same response. Anger immediately surged within him.Before, when he had called her over a hundred times, the calls had at least gone through. She had just refused to pick up. But now, it seemed that she had blocked his number.Edward clenched his fists, a cold laugh escaping his lips. He thought, "Very good, Macie. I gave you an out, and you refuse to take it. Do you really want me to go to the hospital to find you? Dream on!"It had been four days since the gas leak incident, and he hadn't even scolded her. He had even arranged for Sharon to move out. Not only was Macie ungrateful, but her attitude had gotten worse. Now, she was even pulling this stunt.Seething, Edward felt like he had

Alice wanted to check Macie's injuries, but the latter stopped her, saying that it was nothing serious.Instead, Alice hugged her again, but gently this time. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were hurt. I just got too excited after not seeing you for two years.""I should've told you earlier. I didn't want you to worry. I missed you too," Macie said.Reunited after so long, they walked through the shopping district hand in hand. Macie needed new clothes, and Alice helped her pick out several professional outfits for work."Get a few casual dresses too—something fresh and elegant, like your style," Alice suggested, handing her a few more pieces.Macie looked at the different styles of clothing. Over the past two years, she had barely dressed up, always wearing plain T-shirts and long pants as a housekeeper.When she first married Edward, she used to wear beautiful clothes, wanting to show him her best self. But all she received in return was a cold remark. "You look like a streetwalk
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 65
"I'm not forcing you. Just tell me when you're ready," Alice said before sighing."Okay," Macie replied, her smile faint.After purchasing all the clothes that fit, they moved on to picking out high heels before finally stepping into a hair salon."Cut my hair shorter—just to my collarbone," Macie instructed as she sat in front of the mirror.The stylist nodded and began trimming while Macie stared at her reflection. She really did look lifeless, drained of any energy or vitality. But she had left Edward. So, wasn't she supposed to start living well? She had escaped the cage and was never going to go back.A small smile tugged at her lips. She would take her time and heal—piece by piece."Don't just chop it off in one go. Give her layers, curl the ends outward, and add some volume at the crown," Alice directed the stylist.Two hours later, Alice admired Macie's new look. "Not bad at all. It's like a brand-new you. Just apply some makeup for work, and you're all set."Macie ra

It would be a disaster for Nathan if Macie answered his call and blocked Edward's number.Nathan stole another glance at Edward, feeling the suffocating tension in the air.Edward's demeanor was dark and brooding, causing Nathan to sense that his life might be in danger."Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please try again later." The mechanical voice echoed again. Edward froze while Nathan was grateful for the situation."Try calling again," Edward ordered.Nathan redialed several times, but the response was always the same.Edward let out a soft chuckle. "So, she treats everyone the same, huh?"Just like that, the anger he had been brewing faded away, his mood inexplicably lighter, though he wasn't quite sure why."Forget it. You can go. She's blocked you, too," Edward said.Nathan blinked in confusion, then glanced down at his phone. He finally understood that Edward was mad that Macie had blocked him."Mr. Fowler, this might not necessarily mean that you were

Nathan fell silent. He wondered if he had just wasted his breath as it seemed like Edward still didn't believe him.Inside the elevator, Edward's expression remained dark.He didn't think it mattered that Macie had explained to Nathan back then. After all, she hadn't said it directly to him. Instead, she had told Nathan not to tell him.Edward felt that Macie could have just called him and cleared the situation up herself if she genuinely thought that he had wronged her.He had already given her multiple chances to step down from her stubbornness. Would it kill her to take the initiative even once?Frustrated, Edward drove to the restaurant where he had made a reservation.Sharon had arrived early and was flipping through the menu.Although they had argued in the morning, Edward had agreed to have lunch with her without much hesitation.Sharon took it as a sign that they had no significant issues. She believed that if she kept pushing, she would reignite the love he once had fo

"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
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 229
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
