Chapter 830

Author: Summer Blossom
Edward cursed, "Don't give me that bullshit! If you were that busy, you could've found someone else to deliver it. Do you honestly expect me to believe that excuse?"

Mitch was at a loss for words when he heard that.

Edward noticed his silence and no longer cared to hear another word from him. "Just you wait. Once the interrogation results are out tomorrow, I'll see what you have to say then. You and your boss can rot in prison together!" he snarled.

After hearing that, Mitch sighed inwardly, thinking, "...It's just my luck. I really am innocent!"

The problem was, there was no way for him to defend himself. Elias obviously didn't want anyone to know that he had taken Macie's hair for a DNA test. He had even kept it from Edmund, so he definitely wasn't going to let it slip to Edward.

What's more, if Sharon was the one behind this abduction and he couldn't justify why he had called Macie out that evening, he'd end up looking like her partner in crime. Mitch felt drained. All he cou

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 864

    Before long, the elevator doors slid open on the first floor. Julian was pushed out, and when he turned his head around, the bodyguards shut the doors on him without the slightest hesitation.He stood there in a daze for several minutes before slowly turning around. With his head hanging low, he dragged his feet outside. The Hales had done a thorough investigation, and he had no right to criticize them. After all, he had indeed benefited from Macie. Her marriage to Edward was what had secured Yosef's ten‑million-dollar investment.On top of that, he was useless. He couldn't even protect Macie. In fact, he had done less for her than Alice had.His arms hung heavily at his sides. Tilting his head back, he gazed at the sky before closing his eyes. Now, he no longer had to worry about Macie's safety. The people who were once her greatest threat had now become her shield. From this moment on, she would be safe and happy for the rest of her life.That was a good thing, and Julian sho

    Mitch laid out the entire situation, and Julian staggered back, his eyes wide in disbelief. Sharon was an impostor. She had stolen Macie's identity and tried to kill her to cover it up. "In short, that's what happened. Please leave. Ms. Smith is in no condition to receive visitors," Mitch said.Julian, however, didn't budge. Looking Mitch straight in the eye, he demanded, "Why can't I see her? Ms. Hart was allowed in this morning!"Mitch realized then how Julian had managed to find his way to the 15th floor. "I'm also a friend of Macie's. On top of that, I'm her boss. I have the right to see her and confirm her condition!" Julian continued.Holding Julian's gaze, Mitch repeated, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Hale has made it clear that you're not allowed to visit Ms. Smith."Julian tensed up when he heard that. Why? On what grounds? Was it simply because his boss was Macie's older brother?Prior to this, Elias had helped Sharon set Macie up. So, what right did someone like him have to s

    The bodyguard's expression became solemn when he heard that. He wondered how Julian had managed to pinpoint which exact floor to go to. Who had told him?"I mean no harm. I just want to see Macie," Julian said, pulling out a card from his pocket. "Here's my business card. My name is Julian Atkins."One of the bodyguards took it and noticed the words "Founder of Brightech Studios" printed on it. Hence, he said, "I'll inform Mr. Hale and get back to you."Julian nodded and waited quietly.Mitch was down the corridor on the 15th floor, briefing Elias on Sharon and Raymond's capture, when the bodyguard stepped forward, explained what had happened, and handed over a business card.Elias lowered his head and read the name "Julian Atkins". It rang a bell because this was the man Macie had genuinely liked. To help him obtain the funding he needed for his startup, she had willingly agreed to Yosef's demand to marry Edward for two years in exchange for ten million dollars. Back when he ha

    Julian took his car keys and headed out the door. While rushing to his car, he frowned and asked Alice what she meant and why Macie wouldn't be returning to work at Brightech Studios."Because her family would never allow her to suffer in a small company like yours. Macie is now an heiress to a wealthy family. She doesn't need to work anymore," Alice answered.Julian was completely baffled when he heard that. "What family? Isn't Macie an orphan? Also, what do you mean she's an heiress?" he inquired. "It's exactly what it sounds like. Macie's family found her. She's now the sole daughter of the Hale family, the center of attention, and her status is higher than mine."Julian stopped in his tracks. He was shell-shocked. He couldn't believe that Macie was actually the missing daughter of a prestigious family. If her standing was higher than Alice's, the Hales must be extremely wealthy and influential. After snapping out of his shock, he thought to himself, "No matter how much her i

    Sitting in the car, Edward felt utterly dejected. He was worried sick about Macie's safety. He was aware that with the Hales around, she wouldn't be in any real danger, but he needed to see her with his own eyes to feel at ease. All of a sudden, an idea popped into his head, and he pulled out his phone to call Alice. He couldn't believe that he had forgotten about her. He wasn't allowed upstairs to see Macie, but Alice must've been able to. As soon as the call connected, he cut straight to the chase, saying that Macie had been abducted the night before and asking Alice to go to the hospital to check on her."I've already been. I just returned to the office," she responded.After hearing that, he immediately snapped, "Why didn't you wait for me?" If she had just returned, that meant that Edward had missed her by less than half an hour. He cursed himself for not going to the hospital sooner. "You're really weird. Why on earth would I wait for you?" she asked, baffled. "So you

  • Who's the One Regretting Now?   Chapter 859

    Diana thought about the phone call earlier. Sean had every chance to tell her the truth. Yet, all he'd said in the end was that she would regret it. Diana pressed her hand to her forehead. The weight of the realization sank in. For a moment, she considered calling or messaging Sean. However, she ultimately lowered her hand and sighed heavily. …Meanwhile, on the first floor of the inpatient wing, Edward sat in a wheelchair pushed by his bodyguard. He still couldn't find out which ward Macie was in. Moments later, he saw Elias' secretary, Mitch, step out of the elevator with several bodyguards in tow. The group approached him, and Mitch said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fowler. Mr. Hale has given orders that you are not allowed near Ms. Smith. Please leave."Edward looked him straight in the eye. He didn't say a single word, but he didn't back down either. Mitch stood his ground while the bodyguards stepped up to block Edward's path. Edward didn't argue with him. He was well aware that th
