Edward's brows furrowed even deeper at Alice's words. He sternly clarified, "Ms. Hart, please watch your words. Don't make baseless accusations."Alice found his reaction amusing. "Oh? Then why are you two holding hands? I even saw the trending news this morning."Edward glanced down, realizing that Sharon had linked arms with him. He immediately shook her off.Sharon nearly ground her teeth in frustration, though she kept a smile on her face. Nevertheless, she shot a glare at Alice, the troublemaker who was stirring things up."Trending news is nothing but rumors, Ms. Hart. You shouldn't believe everything you read online," Edward said, his tone growing colder.Alice let out a scoff. She thought that Edward was clearly more than just slightly drunk. Otherwise, how else could he say something so self-righteous when the evidence was right in front of him?"Your little sweetheart is wearing the nine-million-dollar necklace, isn't she? Next time, if you want to deny something, at le

A knock on the car window startled Julian. When he looked up and saw Macie, he quickly unlocked the door.But instead of getting into the passenger seat, she hurried into the back, looking visibly flustered."What's wrong? Did something happen?" Julian asked immediately."No. It's nothing…" Macie said, trying to steady her emotions. "Julian, can you start the car? Just drop me off at the next intersection."Julian, though puzzled, started the engine. As he turned the corner, he spotted Alice walking into the plaza with a man and woman beside her. He recognized the man as Edward Fowler.Glancing at the rearview mirror, Julian noticed that Macie wasn't even seated properly. She was crouched low in the back seat, hiding.Alice had already come out, so why was Macie acting like she was fleeing? Who was she avoiding?"Macie, are you hiding from someone?" Julian asked."I—" Macie was about to answer when Julian added, "The only people with Alice were Edward and that woman. Are you—

Edward obediently followed Sharon and got into the cab.Meanwhile, at the next intersection, Macie declined Julian's offer to tour the company in advance, opting to wait for Alice instead. When the red sports car pulled up, she quickly got in."You're unbelievable, May! When I mentioned Julian, you acted like you wanted nothing to do with him, but then you happily hopped into his car just to talk to him longer," Alice teased.Macie had no words to defend herself. Bracing herself, she explained, "It was only for a few minutes. We barely had time to say anything.""Yeah, but that's enough time to sneak in a few kisses." Alice smirked.Macie fell silent."Come on, spill. What did you two talk about? If you don't tell me, I'll just make up my own version," Alice pressed.With a helpless smile, Macie sighed. "I swear, we only talked about work."The two women bickered playfully on the way home.The cab stopped outside a luxury hotel. Sharon helped Edward toward the entrance, but he

Nathan observed Edward closely. He said, "You don't seem drunk at all. You still recognized me."Edward had clearly meant to call Macie but had dialed Nathan instead."He's definitely drunk," Sharon insisted. "Otherwise, would he sit on the roadside with no regard for his image?"Nathan glanced at her and immediately saw through her intentions. If she took Edward home, he would be done for.Stepping in firmly, Nathan stated, "Mr. Fowler is perfectly sober. He has two international meetings this afternoon. He can't afford to take the day off."Sharon opened her mouth and was about to suggest postponing the meetings, but Nathan cut her off."These are multi-billion-dollar deals. Are you willing to take responsibility for any delays? Can you handle that?"Sharon fell silent.Multi-billion-dollar deals? If Edward sobered up later and realized she had dragged him home instead, she would be finished.Left with no choice, she watched in frustration as Nathan took Edward away. She sto

Caught in his own contradictions, Edward wrestled internally, torn between frustration and self-inflicted torment.In the end, anger won out. His face darkened as he wiped the coffee spill from his lips."Macie sure has grown some nerve. Four days in a row with this attitude. Has she forgotten who she is?" Edward scoffed under his breath. "With that temper, any other family would've kicked her out long ago. She has no family background and still doesn't know how to hold on to her place as Mrs. Fowler."If she won't even open her mouth to talk properly, what's the point of having one? This was all her fault, yet she acts like the whole world owes her something."Nathan, standing nearby, silently observed Edward, who had now fully transformed into a bitter, complaining husband. His lips twitched as he stared at the ceiling, barely restraining his disbelief.Every word Edward spoke was full of resentment and disdain. Yet, this was the same man who had spent his entire drunken afterno

Edward stared blankly at the door, his mind racing. He couldn't understand the meaning behind Nathan's advice to stop lying to himself. He wondered when he had ever not been truthful.And regret? What was there to regret? He made decisions, and he stuck to them.Edward grabbed the file on his desk, trying to force his focus onto the words in front of him. Unfortunately, he couldn't concentrate. So, he tossed it aside and placed his phone directly in the center of the table to avoid missing any calls.But the next few hours only brought calls from his team, not from the one he had hoped for.…Meanwhile, Macie was hanging out with Alice that afternoon. They swatched lipsticks and spritzed perfumes on their wrists. They'd already picked out a new handbag and some jewelry and were now sitting in their favorite restaurant.When her phone buzzed on the table, Macie glanced at it, then flipped it over."Who is it? Why aren't you picking up?" Alice asked."Just a telemarketer," Macie
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 77
Edward pursed his lips, debating with himself for several minutes. Finally, he decided to head home. He didn't know why Macie wasn't answering his calls. He wondered if it was because she didn't have her phone or if she had blocked his number. Edward had bought her a new phone. If it wasn't at home, it meant that she was using it. If she were using it, then it seemed that she had indeed deliberately blocked him. That would give him something to confront her about, at least.But if she wasn't using her new phone, how had she been managing at the hospital all these days? Edward pondered if Macie had been using her computer instead.He returned to their apartment feeling slightly hopeful. He took the elevator up, stepped inside, and headed straight for the guest bedroom. The door wasn't locked. He pushed it open and froze. The bed was stripped bare. There were no sheets or pillows, just a bare mattress staring back at him. Edward's heart skipped a beat and then began to race.

Edward wondered why he wasn't aware that Macie had left the hospital.Upon seeing Edward's shocked reaction, the nurse eyed him suspiciously and asked, "How are you related to Macie?" "I… I'm her husband," Edward muttered.The nurse frowned, studying him with apparent skepticism. "If you're her husband, why didn't you know that she was discharged?"Edward didn't answer. His mind was blank, his thoughts scattered. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he snapped to reality and bolted down the stairs.If Macie had been discharged yesterday morning, why hadn't she come home? Where had she taken her bedding and pillows? Did she know someone else in this city? Had she gone to rent a place? But she hadn't worked in two years. Where would she get the money? Was it from Yosef?Edward thought that none of it made any sense unless Macie moved in with that so-called "senior" of hers!The thought sent a jolt of panic through Edward, quickly morphing into jealousy and rage. His foot slamm

"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

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?
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 225
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
