Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Meanwhile, Xavier Marlowe leaned back in his leather chair, with one leg casually crossed over the other, as he flipped through the freshly printed documents his assistant, Miles Thatcher, had just handed him in Marlowe Law Group. The pages still carried the faint warmth and scent of fresh ink."Mr. Marlowe, are you sure you want to take this case? You'd be going up against the Fowler family," Miles reminded him."Why wouldn't I be? It's a lawyer's job to stand up against injustice." Xavier set the documents down, his lips curving into an amused smile. "There's been a lot of buzz in the upper circles about Edward's divorce lately. I never thought I'd end up representing his wife. What a small world… This is going to be fun."Miles watched his boss with a knowing expression. He could already tell that Xavier wasn't interested in the case. He just wanted front-row seats to the drama.He had already asked around with a few other firms. Macie had reached out to them, too, but none of t

As the workday neared its end, Alice grabbed her purse and clocked out a good 30 minutes early. Why was she so bold? Well, the company was her family's, and she was the heiress. Work was just a way for her to pass the time. She'd much rather do this than sit through another boring high-society tea party.She drove straight to Macie's workplace and even picked up some mini cakes on the way to surprise her.Carrying her designer handbag, dressed in an expensive and gorgeous long dress, and strutting in her stiletto heels, Alice radiated elegance from head to toe. Tossing back her voluminous curls, she approached one of the employees near the door and casually asked where Macie's office was. The woman looked up, a little starstruck, then pointed her in the right direction. After the stunning woman left, the staff member couldn't help but glance back. The fragrance she wore was so enticing. It wasn't the cheap, artificial scent, but something natural and fresh.And her demeanor defini

Lily hadn't even finished her venomous remark when Macie grabbed a stack of documents and slammed them down onto the table, her voice cold and firm. "Watch your mouth! How dare you slander the heiress of the Hart family! If you don't know who the Harts are, go look them up."Keep running that mouth, and you'll be hearing from our lawyer. Don't think you'll still have a job in this industry when we're done."The moment Macie mentioned "the Hart family", the entire office fell silent. All eyes turned to the elegant woman before them who sat like a Persian cat. It was no wonder that she was that wealthy. She was the prized daughter of the Hart family.Now, Lily was in deep trouble. Everyone had tried to de-escalate the situation earlier. After all, Alice was just visiting Macie, and it was almost time to get off work. She wasn't causing any disruption. The papers were scattered on the floor across them. Lily had originally intended to storm over and slap Macie across the face, but

Macie's face flushed red in an instant. She tugged gently at Alice's sleeve and whispered, "Please stop saying stuff like that…"Knowing full well that her friend was easily embarrassed, Alice didn't push further. Instead, she pulled out her phone and made a call. Two seconds in, the person on the other end picked up, and she put it on speaker. "Ms. Hart, are you calling to invite me to dinner?" The room collectively gasped when they heard the man's voice. It was their CEO. Moreover, his tone was so casual that it seemed like they were simply old friends catching up.Suddenly, everyone realized how Alice had been able to enter the company. It was because she knew Julian. Employees couldn't bring their friends into the company, but the CEO could. At that moment, they realized that Lily had definitely picked the wrong fight this time.After hearing that, Alice scoffed. "You wish. There's no way that's happening.""Alright then. What's the occasion?" Julian asked, sounding a littl

"I knew about the recording and the report. The private employee group has been disbanded, and Macie said she'd handle the report herself." Julian's voice came through over the phone."Don't tell me that the person responsible is still working here," Alice said, narrowing her eyes.Macie was about to speak up when Daisy, who was standing next to Lily, stepped forward and apologized."I'm sorry, Macie. I was the one who sent the anonymous report about your résumé. I know that you must've already figured it out, but you never called me out, and I really appreciate that."Like Lily, I acted out of jealousy. Please forgive me just this once!"At the time, she had no idea about Macie's background. She just assumed that Macie was someone with connections. Jealousy aside, she just wanted to pick on the newcomer. Not that she'd ever admit all that now.With the current situation blowing up because of Lily, Daisy figured that it was better to confess on her own terms than be dragged out b
