Chapter 650

Author: Summer Blossom
When Sharon heard Elias wanted to learn more about herself, the first thing that came to mind was her "identity".

But if he were suspecting her, she believed that he wouldn't be asking her about it. Instead, he'd investigate on his own. So it definitely wasn't about her fake identity but something else.

"I… Actually, aside from the penalty for breaching my contract, Edward's also asking me to pay back the five million dollars. I haven't told you that before," Sharon said.

She bit her lip, her voice low and timid. She offered up a red herring while waiting to see what he was really fishing for.

Elias could tell her answer wasn't what he was looking for, so he said, "Don't worry about the penalty fees or the five million dollars. I'll take care of it." He paused, then continued, "I mean…"

Sharon looked at him with her hands clasped in front of her body. Her expression carried a mixture of timidity and confusion.

Looking at her posture and that vulnerable expression, Elias found hi

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 701

    In the lobby of LUXE Model Agency, Sharon followed after Elias, burning with frustration. She didn't know why Elias would only punish Oliver, but not Claire or the others. Moreover, she felt that Oliver had gotten off too easily. If it were up to her, he should've been beaten up and slapped across the face with a shoe. That would've been satisfying."Right. Didn't you come to get something?" Elias suddenly remembered and asked."No." Sharon shook her head, her expression clouded with disappointment and sadness. "The spot they told me to check was already cleared out. Everything was thrown into the trash.""They?" Elias asked."My former coworkers," Sharon replied.Elias pressed his lips together. "What were you trying to get? Was it something important? Was it identification documents?""Not IDs, but yeah… some papers and stuff. It's fine, Elias. If they tossed it, they tossed it."Elias didn't respond. Morgan opened the car door. Sharon got in first, followed by Elias from th

    "Those models humiliated me downstairs, too. They said disgusting things and were spreading filthy rumors about me and Morgan, and Mitch, and even you, Elias…" Sharon trailed off, biting her lip, her eyes glistening with tears."They also said you were some 80-year-old geezer and made me kneel and wipe their shoes. They even told me to bark like a dog," Sharon added.Elias' face darkened. The pressure in the room instantly intensified."Mr. Hale, that had nothing to do with me!" Oliver quickly distanced himself. "I never told them to say any of that. They probably just had a personal grudge against Ms. Emerson. It's between them."Elias stared at the cowardly man, his voice ice-cold as he said, "And as the boss, do you not bear any responsibility for your staff's conduct? This is a modeling agency. Is this the kind of quality your models represent? Slinging slander like it's nothing?Oliver went pale as he still tried to defend himself. "I usually keep things in line, but I can't

    Behind Sharon, Claire and the others almost gagged at the sugary tone in Sharon's voice. Still, they crept up to the corner to peek. They had to see just what kind of wrinkly old man this brother of hers was.On the stairwell, Elias looked up when he heard Sharon calling and offered a soft smile. Sharon jogged down the steps, and Elias gently warned her, "Slow down. Be careful.""I'm fine. I won't fall," Sharon replied cheerily as she naturally slipped her arm through his.Behind them, Oliver was sweating buckets. Now he was trembling all over, nearly tripping as he followed up the stairs.This "Mr. Hale" wasn't just tall and handsome. His presence alone was intimidating. And he really was Sharon's brother.The group made their way back upstairs. Off to the side on the second floor, Claire and the others caught a glimpse of Elias.They didn't need a full view of his face. One glance at that tall frame, the sleek designer fit, and that watch flashing on his wrist was enough. The m

    "Our boss' name isn't something just anyone is qualified to know." Mitch's words were laced with contempt, but Oliver didn't dare talk back.Mitch continued," Tell the front desk to let them in. We're handling this officially, by the book."With that, he turned to head downstairs to greet Elias. Oliver nervously followed behind, trying to plead his case as they walked, repeating over and over that he wasn't the mastermind behind this and that it was all Edward's doing—that Edward was the one who told him to go after Sharon for the money.Sharon followed behind them, but she didn't go downstairs. Instead, she headed toward the dressing room area. She had barely turned the corner when she ran into a group of people. Folding her arms, she sneered coldly. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? A bunch of filthy sewer rats hiding in the dark to eavesdrop."Led by Claire, the models glared at her, but none of them dared to be the first to respond. "Claire, get over here and polish my

    Sharon had picked this exact moment on purpose to speak. She had returned to her former employer's company for revenge.She hadn't mentioned the breach penalty at first, and didn't bring up her brother either. Instead, she lowered her stance and said she was just there to collect her belongings. It was all just a cover. What she was really there for was to set this whole thing up. She'd been waiting for this moment. And Oliver had walked right into it."That was just a joke. There's no way the company would actually make you pay that much. Our policies are very humane," Oliver tried to explain.Sharon stared at his fake smile and blatant denial, then scoffed. "I've never seen anyone joke about ten million dollars and jail time."Mitch backed her up immediately. "Your company used an incomplete contract to go after a former employee and demand a massive payout. That's grounds for extortion."The word "extortion" hit Oliver like a truck. His knees went weak, and his whole body wen

    "That's right. 13 people. A full legal team," the receptionist said quietly. "They're from Barron Strickland."Just hearing that there were 13 lawyers was enough to make Oliver panic. But when he heard Barron Strickland mentioned, his knees nearly gave out.Barron Strickland was the number one law firm in Williamford. It was a powerhouse known for producing the strongest attorneys in the city—the kind that could even take down a sitting judge."Are they really from Barron Strickland?" Oliver's voice trembled as he clutched the wall to steady himself and asked again for confirmation."Yes. They showed their credentials. Unless they're fake, but… I mean, who would dare forge credentials claiming to be from Barron Strickland? That's asking to get sued into oblivion," the receptionist whispered, covering her mouth so the legal team wouldn't overhear.It made sense. And Oliver was now sweating bullets.He swallowed hard and checked his phone again. He still hadn't gotten a reply from
