Chapter 231

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

"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

One of the bodyguards restraining Edward took out his phone, answered it, and held it to his ear. Sean's voice came through, "Mr. Fowler, are you here yet? My time is very valuable, you know."Edward gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me how badly Macie's injuries are. Where is she injured?"Sean replied, "Weren't you planning to come see for yourself?"Edward snapped, "Something came up and I can't go! Just tell me how she is!""And why should I tell you?" Sean answered lazily."You!" Edward was about to explode. At that moment, Sean officially became his number-one enemy."Didn't you want that five million dollars? I'll give it to you!" Edward growled.Hearing that he was willing to pay, Sean's lips curved slightly. However, Edward kept talking. "But I have conditions. You have to tell me exactly how Macie is, where she's hurt, and you're not allowed to take care of her. Alice will.""Alright," Sean agreed."Then hurry up and tell me!" Edward demanded."No can do. What if I

"Obviously, I'm going to do a good deed and inform the woman inside," Sean said.Alice was about to snap at him, but when she saw the mischievous smile on his face, she simply followed him.Inside the interrogation room, Sharon had stopped crying. Now she was just sniffling, her makeup smeared beyond recognition, looking absolutely dreadful. But she didn't care. Her mind raced with how to come up with five million dollars and the fact that she still had 15 days to serve in detention."Hey, Edward paid for you. You don't have to compensate anymore," Sean said.Sharon froze at first, then stared in disbelief, her eyes widening."What? But he—" she mumbled."He called me again after I left," Sean cut her off. "He had a change of heart. In the end, he just couldn't bear it."He sighed, his face full of sincerity. "See? Edward still likes you. Regardless of what he said before, he still wired five million dollars to me right away, didn't he?"Sharon's stunned expression shifted into

"We're heading off now, Sean." Alice waved as she spoke.Sean quietly hummed in acknowledgment, his eyes still fixed on Macie.Alice didn't pay much attention and simply walked over to Macie. Julian also said goodbye and left, noticing that Sean's gaze never left Macie.The three of them walked away together. A minute later, Julian glanced back and saw Sean still standing in the same spot, watching them.To be more precise, he was watching Macie.Julian pressed his lips together. He was now entirely sure that Sean liked Macie.Back where Sean stood, he watched them walk farther and farther away, never once getting close to him or even sparing him a single glance.Only now did Sean finally understand what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.Just that morning, he had demanded to know why Macie had been staring at him for so long. Well, now she wouldn't be staring anymore.She wouldn't even look at him.Sean let out a quiet sigh, walked over to the roadside, and drove back to

When Edward fired off that sharp, accusing message, he froze. It felt like he was calling himself out.After all, how many times had Macie cooked for him while she was sick or injured? What right did he have to say something like that now?He couldn't stop thinking about the last time. Macie's feet were covered in blisters, and her lower back was injured. Yet, he still said something heartless. "If your foot's hurt, just stand still."She had worked hard to prepare the meal, but he hadn't even touched it. Instead, he scolded her, pushed her, and ended up fracturing her tailbone.Edward regretted it deeply. His guilt weighed so heavily that he slapped himself across the face. The sound echoed loudly in his office.He was worse than an animal.It was no wonder Macie finally lost it that day. She sprayed him with water in the bathroom and screamed at him to get out.He thought that deserved it and had brought it on himself. And now, all he could do was regret it.While he was lo

Chapter 237

Alice and Macie had dinner, then went home. After Macie took a shower, Alice offered to help her apply the medicine. Once she was done, she said, "Don't move. I need to take a couple of pictures."Macie looked confused. But before she could ask, Alice explained, "It's for the injury assessment. They need it for the police report. I mean, we are asking for five million dollars."Macie didn't question it.Alice snapped a few photos but wasn't satisfied. So, she edited them and added filters to make Macie's injuries appear more severe, then sent them to Edward.…At Fowler Group, Edward continued to work overtime in the office. When a message popped up on his phone, he quickly reached for it.The moment he opened it, his eyes landed on the picture of Macie's arm. There were several red welts across her arm, dark and vivid, like she'd been whipped. With her fair skin and slender arms, the wounds looked even more shocking.Edward's eyes began to sting. At that moment, a sharp, ac

"Dammit! Hurry up and go after Mr. Fowler," one of the bodyguards shouted anxiously.Without an elevator access card, they could only take the staff elevator. One ran down to chase after Edward, while the other called the control room to stop the elevators and contacted the security personnel outside the building to intercept him.Inside the elevator, Edward clenched his fist as his eyes locked on the floor numbers that crawled by in the panel display. He wished that it would go down faster.Finally, the elevator reached the second basement floor. As the doors opened, he was taken aback to find a line of security guards waiting for him.He hadn't expected them to move so fast. Gritting his teeth, he shot them a glare, hit the button, and sent the elevator racing back up to the first floor.Most of the security had already shifted to the underground garage, leaving the first floor sparsely guarded when Edward arrived.He dashed forward, shoved past four security personnel, and ran

Chapter 239

The right-side car door hadn't been fully shut, and now it was pulled open from the outside. A bodyguard leaned in and said, "Mr. Fowler, please step out of the vehicle."Edward shot him a furious glare, but the bodyguard repeated, "If you won't get out on your own, don't blame us for dragging you out."Without saying anything, Edward held his ground. He scanned the area and tried to figure out how to slip away once he stepped out of the car.However, that plan went out the window when another bodyguard arrived, holding a phone and activating the loudspeaker."Edward, get your ass back here right now!"The roar from Yosef blasted through the phone loud enough to make someone's ears ring."Grandpa, I won't go back. Macie is injured, and I have to go see her," Edward shot back."If she's injured, I'll send someone to take care of it. You get your ass back here. Don't go bothering her when she can't even stand the sight of you!" Yosef shouted.Edward pursed his lips and insisted,

Macie frowned and asked, "Alice, how do you think Mr. Fowler Senior found out about what happened tonight?"Alice replied, "Obviously through Edward. He's been harassing you nonstop. Mr. Fowler Senior probably had someone keeping an eye on him."Macie asked, "And how would you know that?"Alice paused, then quickly turned her head to hide the guilt on her face. "Just a guess. But I'm pretty sure that's what happened," she said.She'd actually overheard it while Sean was on the phone at the police station. She knew that several bodyguards were watching Edward like he was some kind of criminal.Alice didn't feel the slightest bit sorry for him. Honestly, she thought he deserved it. The way he'd been acting, he probably would've shown up at Macie's workplace every day to harass her.Macie quietly sat on the couch with her knees drawn up. She stared blankly at a movie that didn't seem to have a plot.She wasn't surprised that Edward had found out, since Sharon had called him earli
