Chapter 787

Penulis: Summer Blossom
After hanging up the phone, Macie knew that the police had done all they could. But the fear lingered—what if there was a third attacker, or a fourth, still waiting for her?

All she knew was that they were watching, and she was an easy target. The worst part was that there was nothing she could do about it.

Sharon remained the prime suspect, but with the Hale family's protection, she was completely untouchable. Even the police interrogations had turned into nothing more than a show.

Macie couldn't understand why Sharon hated her so much. If it was revenge for marrying Edward, hadn't she already paid the price? Why did it have to go as far as taking her life?

For now, she had no choice but to wait until the culprit was caught. Only then could they build a case strong enough that even the Hale family couldn't worm their way out.

    Sharon and Macie were both women, but going to that house meant stepping into a situation that could've gone very wrong. And if Elias remembered correctly, Mitch had just said Macie had nearly…"Why was Macie the one who was almost assaulted? Wasn't that bastard initially targeting Sharon?" Elias asked, frowning."Are you sure you want to hear the truth?" Mitch asked hesitantly.Elias' expression darkened as he began to piece things together. "Don't tell me you're about to say that Sharon set this whole thing up and that she deliberately lured Macie there?" he coldly asked. "No, no. Ms. Emerson wasn't that vicious back then," Mitch quickly responded.Elias felt a moment of relief, but it was short-lived as Mitch continued, "But she wasn't far off, either. After Macie arrived, the two of them tried to escape together. But when they found a room, Ms. Emerson ducked inside and locked the door behind her, leaving Macie stranded outside."Macie later went into another room and esca

    Edward had initially been attracted to Macie and nearly fell for her when he thought she might be the person he was looking for. However, he wasn't the type to let emotions cloud his judgment. After confirming she wasn't the one, he let go of whatever feelings he had for her and turned all his attention to Sharon. Yet, he never imagined that their paths would cross again. At that time, Yosef had forced him to break up with Sharon and marry Macie instead. Edward was convinced that Macie had pulled some strings to get his grandfather to make the arrangement. From then on, he began to resent her and hurl insults at her.The ward was silent, and it was already dark outside. Edward opened his eyes and glanced at the wall clock. It was already 10:00 pm. Life never stopped surprising him, and fate had its own strange rhythm. He had fallen for Macie all over again, deeper than he ever thought possible. As for Sharon, whatever he once felt for her was long gone.But by then, the damage

    Edward closed his eyes. He had just woken up and wasn't tired yet, so his mind drifted back to his high school days.His friendship with that person had started because of a math puzzle. She was sharp, and they discussed and analyzed the puzzle together. Gradually, their conversation shifted from academics to everyday life.Back then, Edward's world was dark and depressing. But that person was always there, listening to him, comforting him, and helping him through the worst. Naturally, he began to feel curious about who she really was.At first, he thought it was Macie.Macie was intelligent and consistently ranked among the top students. It made sense that she could solve math puzzles. Her personality also fit his impression of her. She was quiet and composed, not loud or showy. All clues hinted that she was the person he was speaking to.Still, it was just a suspicion. He had no solid proof.During their chats, that person had clearly wanted to stay anonymous. Even her handwrit

    For two years, Edward had eaten food like this every day. However, it had now become a luxury—something he could only taste again while lying sick in a hospital bed.The dishes were light and easy to digest. The fish was tender and free of bones, carrying none of the usual fishy taste, only its clean, natural freshness.The broth was clear and flavorful, with a perfect balance of meat and vegetables that preserved the original taste of the ingredients.Edward ate while sniffling. He had no regrets about taking the hit for Macie. At that moment, her cooking felt like an unexpected gift—one that filled him with emotion and joy.The room was silent, and not a single word was spoken.Yosef watched Edward, a grown man, eat and cry simultaneously. It made him feel like his grandson was utterly hopeless. Still, Yosef didn't scold him.A bowl of broth and a few sides were all it took to make Edward cry. Perhaps if Edward had treated Macie kindly from the start, things wouldn't have come

    "That's why I said you should've accepted the team lead position from the beginning," Palmer said. "People are naturally afraid of those who are tough and quick to assert themselves. Or at the very least, you should've shown that you weren't someone to mess with."Macie let out a quiet sigh. "I just thought having a good temper as a newcomer would help me blend in faster. I didn't expect that being nice would only invite bullying.""That's the harsh truth of the workplace. The more capable you are, the stronger your personality should be. Only then will people respect you," Palmer said. He continued, "Establishing your persona is important as first impressions matter."Macie listened to Palmer's advice and nodded in agreement. From now on, she wasn't going to be anyone's pushover again."But you still didn't go all the way. If you had, you would've refused mediation and asked for compensation for emotional distress," Palmer added, smiling.Macie said nothing. Showing restraint was
