Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 76
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

Edward wondered when he had signed the divorce agreement. Macie never gave him any documents! If he had seen it, there was no way he would have signed it. His mind raced, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong. He sensed something amiss as he rubbed the piece of paper between his fingers. The signature didn't have the texture of ink. It was… Edward held it up to the light, squinting. A photocopy?He rubbed it again, confirming that it was indeed a copy. His initial panic subsided, quickly replaced by a fresh wave of anger. "Macie! You lunatic! You faked a photocopy to mess with me!" Edward snarled through gritted teeth. He had thought that it was a real divorce agreement with his actual signature. It turned out to be just a prank! All that panic and confusion for nothing. Wait, no. Edward wasn't panicking. He was just angry and confused about when he supposedly signed it! Edward stood up and glared at the shredded pieces on the floor. In a fit of rage, he stomp

Macie couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion wash over her. The fact that she had been married to someone like Edward for two years was almost laughable. If people knew, they'd probably mock her for it.Alice returned with the beers. Upon noticing the look on her friend's face, she asked, "May, what's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm just annoyed by some idiot telemarketer," Macie replied with a forced smile.She couldn't believe that she'd even bothered to read through Edward's messages. It was like poking a wound just to see if it still hurt."I told you to let me yell at him. You're too nice just to block him outright," Alice said as she sat down."I did block him, and I deleted him too. But reading those messages still pissed me off," Macie admitted.They clinked their beer bottles, and Macie tossed her phone aside, determined not to pick it up again.While Macie calmly ignored the chaos, Edward was on the verge of losing his mind. He was infuriated by Macie's lack of response."

"I'm sorry, Sharon. I got a little carried away just now," Edward muttered.Sharon glanced at the red marks on her arm and pretended not to know what had happened. "What's going on?"Edward slumped back onto the couch, his head hanging low in defeat. "Macie. She's gone.""Macie's at the hospital, isn't she? Are you still drunk from lunch?" Sharon asked, feigning confusion."She's not at the hospital. The nurse said she checked out yesterday morning," Edward replied."What? Really? Neither of us knew about that," Sharon replied in surprise."Her room is empty. All she left was the phone I bought her and…" Edward's voice trailed off."And what?" Sharon pressed.Edward clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. "A pile of useless paper. A photocopy. Did she really think that would scare me? She's such an idiot!"Sharon frowned. A photocopy? What was that supposed to be? Shouldn't it have been the divorce papers?She stood up and walked into Macie's room, her heart racing when she s

In the hallway, Sharon clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Fuming, she stormed back to her room and began frantically calling Macie. But no matter how many times she dialed, all she got was the same cold, automated voice. She sent messages, but there was no reply. Sharon was on the verge of losing her mind. In the master bedroom, Edward took a cold shower, trying to calm his nerves. He called Nathan again, asking if there had been any progress in finding Macie. When he got the same disappointing answer, he angrily threw his phone across the room. Lying in bed, his eyes wide open, sleep was impossible. Macie had been gone for two nights now. The thought of her possibly being with that other man—kissing him, or worse—made Edward's head feel like it was about to explode. Anger consumed him, burning away any remaining shred of rationality. In the room next door, Sharon couldn't sleep either. Soon, she heard the sound of things being smashed in Edwa

Edward snapped out of his thoughts, flipped the tablet face down, and grabbed the files before heading out. As he walked, his mind kept replaying the videos and photos of Macie. He couldn't help but wonder how amazing Macie was. He didn't know how he had never noticed it before.But Edward could guess why. Macie had always been at the top of her class in high school, so it was no surprise that she shone even brighter in college. Although they had attended the same college, their majors were different. Moreover, he had been with Sharon back then.Looking back, Edward felt like he had missed out on four whole years of Macie's life—years when they had been in such close proximity. A wild thought even crossed his mind. What if he hadn't been with Sharon back in college? Would he have fallen for Macie?Edward's fingers curled involuntarily, but the meeting had already started, forcing him to push those thoughts aside.The meeting ended two hours later, and it was time for lunch.

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

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
