Yosef frowned and asked, "How did you find out?""That bastard Sean told me himself," Edward snapped.Yosef fell silent for a moment. If Sean had admitted it, then it must be true that Macie was with him now.Yosef wasn't entirely opposed to it, but he had some concerns. He wondered if Sean's parents would even accept her.Macie didn't come from a well-known family and had no elders to look out for her. If she ended up marrying Sean, her future wouldn't be easy."The two of them being together has nothing to do with you," Yosef said. "Don't forget that you're one step away from finalizing the divorce."Edward opened his mouth but said nothing because there was no way he was divorcing Macie. Once he won the lawsuit, she'd still be his wife. Sean could forget about marrying her for the rest of his life."Go get that five million dollars back from Sharon. Otherwise, don't blame me for stepping in," Yosef said, his expression stern.He added sharply, "Last week, you told me that yo

"It's not that Alice didn't want to see you," Macie explained. "She really had something urgent come up. She told me that you're reliable and would help me win the case."Xavier smiled, and his eyes twinkled with confidence as he said, "Uh-huh, a win's in the bag." He continued, "With the law firms in Williamford all stepping back, who else would dare take your case? No one wants to go up against Edward. "Only someone like me could pull this off. I've got the power, the pedigree, and the talent—nothing scares me."Macie looked at this overly confident man and found him even more self-absorbed than Sean had been. At least Sean wasn't this full of himself.She figured Xavier was likely Sean's friend, judging by his age—which would explain how he knew Alice. It was no wonder they got along."Thanks in advance," Macie said.Xavier came from a well-connected family, which gave him the confidence to confront Edward and an edge in their upcoming court case."No need to thank me," Xavi

"You're overthinking it. I'm just disgusted, that's all. Why are you using me like a pawn?" Alice asked.She pulled Macie along as she tried to change the subject. "Come on. Let's go. I've booked a wagyu meal."Macie frowned slightly as Alice pulled her along. She could sense something was off with her friend.Soon, they arrived at a restaurant. Despite saying she was just "disgusted", Alice couldn't help but ask Macie what exactly they had talked about.When she heard that Xavier had made a flirtatious remark as soon as he laid eyes on Macie, Alice angrily stabbed her fork into the wagyu beef and shredded it.Alice wasn't surprised to learn that Xavier was still that reckless playboy after all these years. He still flirted with anyone and spoke frivolously."What's wrong?" Macie asked when she noticed her friend zoning out."It's nothing," Alice replied after snapping back to reality. She continued, "Don't mind Xavier, May. He's just some trash. He flirts with every pretty wo

When Alice finally ended her call with Sean, she returned to the living room. She caught the delicious aroma from the kitchen and dashed over immediately."Every bite of your cooking reminds me of how much I hate that bastard Edward for getting to enjoy this for two whole years." She sighed as she ate.Macie smiled faintly and said nothing. She simply took those two years with Edward as time spent being his nanny.Changing the subject, she casually asked what Alice had been up to earlier.Alice hesitated momentarily, but then quickly shifted back to a carefree tone. "Oh, nothing. Sean asked me out for dinner, but I told him that you'd cook for me."Macie nodded, and Alice continued, "He was so jealous. So, I just laughed and told him he doesn't get to have any."Macie glanced over, and Alice realized that she'd spoken too quickly. She quickly wrapped her arms around Macie's and asked, "Are you still mad?"Macie shook her head.Sean indeed could be a jerk sometimes. He always te

"You're right. You're a sneaky troublemaker," Alice said to Sean over the phone.Sean wasn't in the mood for bickering, so he got straight to the point."Where's Macie? Is she next to you?" he asked.Alice glanced up and locked eyes with Macie, who immediately waved her hands and shook her head. She looked visibly reluctant. Alice got the message and replied, "She just went to the bathroom."Sean was quiet momentarily before asking, "Did she really go, or is she just avoiding me?"Macie was speechless. She wondered why he would ask if he already knew the reason. It was pretty clear she didn't want to talk to him. Did he really expect her to start arguing on the spot?Alice understood her exasperated look. She knocked on the kitchen glass door and pretended to call someone. Then, she told Sean. "She really went to the bathroom. If you need something, just say it. I'll tell her."She quickly added, "Let's not even talk about messing around. That's not how we do things in our f
