"So you're saying that you didn't go all the way but did everything else?" Nathan summarized bluntly.Edward wanted to argue, but no words came out."Bringing Sharon into your home, treating her like she belongs there, driving her around, giving her extravagant gifts, and the constant headlines, and when the accident happened, you saved her first," Nathan listed, ticking off each point with his fingers."You didn't clear up the misunderstandings or visit Mrs. Fowler. You didn't even care about her while she was in the hospital."Nathan sighed.Edward fell silent, his fists clenched, his teeth gritted. He couldn't find a single word to defend himself."You went too far, Mr. Fowler. If it were anyone else, they would've divorced you by now." Nathan dropped the final bombshell.The word "divorce" seemed to trigger something in Edward.Edward shot up from his chair, sending it flying backward. Nathan flinched, taking a few steps back and swallowing hard."She would never divorce m

During the day, Edward had tried sending Macie another friend request, but it was immediately blocked. He couldn't even send a message. "Macie, you'd better never show up again!" Edward muttered through gritted teeth. When he got home, Sharon had already prepared dinner, eagerly setting the table for him. When Edward saw her wearing Macie's clothes and apron, something inside him snapped. He stormed over and tore the clothes off her with brute force. At first, Sharon thought that Edward was finally making a move, even if it was a rough one. She didn't mind. But she quickly realized she was wrong.As Sharon tried to lean into him, Edward shoved her to the ground. "Who said you could wear her clothes or use her things?" Edward yelled. Sharon was terrified, tears streaming down her face as she looked up at him, her voice trembling with hurt. "What's wrong with you? Why are you treating me like this? I've worn Macie's clothes before, and you never said anything. Why are

Edward's mood was foul all morning because of last night's incident. Nathan had been searching everywhere—citywide, statewide, even nationwide—but there was still no trace of Macie. It had already been three days. "When are you going to find her? Can't you work faster?" Edward finally snapped at Nathan as the workday neared its end. Nathan was at his wit's end. He had exhausted all his resources and still couldn't locate Macie. "Mr. Fowler, maybe you should use your personal connections to track down her new phone number. I can't access that kind of information. It's a privacy issue." Edward's eyes lit up with realization. He immediately started reaching out to contacts in the telecommunications industry, trying to access the database. But the telecom operators weren't privately owned, and no matter how many connections Edward used, he couldn't get through to the top level. After hours of fruitless effort, he slumped into his chair, defeated. He didn't know what else h

Edward didn't think that an original divorce agreement with his signature on it was possible. "I never signed anything! I haven't even seen the document!" he roared. Nolan, now fully awake from Edward's shouting, sighed. "But the document is real. The signature looks authentic, and since you didn't call to object, Mr. Fowler Senior assumed you agreed to it." "No, I didn't! Why should I accept a document I never signed?" Edward's voice was filled with rage, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. Nolan frowned, hesitating before saying, "Did Mrs. Fowler forge your signature?" "That's exactly the kind of illegal thing she'd do. She doesn't have a brain in her head," Edward hissed. "Forging a signature makes the divorce document invalid. She's just playing games with me and Grandpa!" Edward fumed inwardly. "What does she think I am? A monkey in a zoo? How dare she mess with me like this!" He was so furious that he could barely think straight. He wanted to tear

Edward would give the divorce agreement to Macie if she wanted it so badly. He wanted to see if she had the guts to take it.He couldn't believe that Macie even dared to fool Yosef. After everything the latter did for her, this was how she repaid him. Edward wondered if she had forgotten that it was only because of his grandfather that Edward married her in the first place. Sharon was still awake, having prepared another meal and waiting for Edward to come home. As soon as he walked through the door, she started to approach him, but he frowned, his expression dark. "Didn't I tell you last night not to do this? Have you packed your things yet? If you're done, I'll have Nathan help you move out." Sharon froze, tears welling up in her eyes. "Edward, are you really that eager to kick me out? Last night and tonight. It's always the same…" Edward pursed his lips briefly before replying, "It's inappropriate for you to stay here. I'm married, and Macie left because of it. So,
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 89
Edward paused as he turned the doorknob. He then glanced back at Sharon. "I haven't fallen for Macie," he said flatly. "Who are you trying to fool? You clearly have. That's why you don't love me anymore and want me gone," Sharon shot back, her fists clenched. Edward frowned, his expression unreadable. "Not loving you has nothing to do with whether I love Macie. I've told you that you and I ended two years ago. You betrayed me for money and left. There's no going back from that."Sharon still refused to believe him. It was apparent that Edward had fallen for Macie, which was why he no longer loved her. "When I first came back, you told me that you didn't mind anymore. You said you understood. How could I have fought against your Grandpa back then? He threatened me to leave. What else could I do? Did you want him to banish me from the city?"Edward replied, "Not minding meant that we could be friends again, not that we could restart our relationship."He had reflected on it befo

As Edward rewatched the videos of Macie from her college days, he found himself drawn to the radiant, talented young woman she had been. He couldn't help but wonder—if Sharon hadn't been in the picture, would he and Macie have naturally fallen in love?And then there was the previous night when Edward had slept in Macie's room. He had laid on her mattress, trying to catch a hint of her scent. She had consumed his thoughts. After finishing his shower, Edward stepped out of the bathroom, the cool air helping to clear his mind. He felt like he had reached a conclusion.It didn't matter if he loved Macie. He didn't want her to leave his sight or slip out of his control. When Edward saw the crumpled divorce agreement by the bed, he walked over, intending to tear it up. But he noticed the watermark and case analysis in the document's body before he could. Edward was speechless. It was a serious printing error. Back in the office, he had been so blinded by anger that he hadn't checked

"Why should I give it to you? Are you going to pester May?" Yosef snapped.Edward pursed his lips before muttering, "I'm not pestering her. I just…"He lowered his voice and continued, "I just want to know where she is and bring her back.""Why would you do that? Weren't you the one who wanted a divorce? You already signed the divorce agreement. You're her ex-husband now, so why are you still interfering in her life?" Yosef barked from the other end of the line."I never wanted a divorce. I didn't sign that, and I never even saw those documents," Edward quickly denied. "So, you're saying that May forged them and lied to me? Isn't that what you told Nolan, too?" Yosef listened to his grandson ranting on the other end, then spoke calmly."That's exactly what happened. She left me a copy and sent the original to you, but my signature was forged. It has no legal standing," Edward insisted.He paused for a couple of seconds, then softened his tone. "Grandpa, please don't be angry.

"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?

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
