Xavier texted Sean. "Thanks, man. We've got this in the bag. I'll treat you to dinner when the case is over."Alice replied to her brother, texting, "Sean, you are so efficient. I knew I could count on you."Sean didn't reply to Xavier's message. Instead, he texted his sister. He told her to return home next week and stop mooching off Macie.…Alice saw the message from her brother chastising her and couldn't help but react angrily. But then she remembered that it was her mother who had given the order. Since her engagement with the Fowler family had been called off, she had no longer had any reason to stay out.She told Macie, who responded, "Go home. Your parents are probably worried. You're always welcome to come back whenever you want."Alice was moved by her words and hugged her."Why don't you come stay at my place? My parents are pretty chill. They won't mind," she said.Macie smiled and shook her head. "Maybe another time. I'll visit your parents when I get the chance

Edward's expression flipped from stormy to cheerful in a heartbeat. He was so excited that he got to his feet. His gaze was locked on the young woman in business attire.Macie kept her eyes level and refused to meet his gaze. Her expression remained neutral as she spoke in a calm voice. "Hello, Mr. Fowler," she said.The cold and distant greeting stung Edward's heart. He subconsciously walked toward her.Macie noticed his movement and instinctively stepped back. She bumped into the door and quickly realized she could slip away if she needed to.He froze in place, no longer daring to make another reckless move. Instead, he stood still and looked at her—the woman he'd thought about day and night.Her face was unreadable. It held no anger or emotion, just a detached calm. It caused a knot to form in Edward's chest, and he instinctively clenched his fists.Macie didn't even look his way. There was no anger or bitterness—just indifference. He wondered if hse had really moved on comple

Edward said, "We've worked with other companies on network security maintenance for the subsidiary before, but it was never a long-term contract. I'm familiar with your company's capabilities and wanted to discuss the possibility of a collaboration."His explanation sounded reasonable enough, but Palmer wasn't convinced. He stayed on topic and continued to pursue the subject.The meeting stretched on for more than half an hour. Palmer and Silas handled the discussions, while Macie sat beside them, saying not a single word.Edward kept glancing over at her, but she never once acknowledged him. She didn't even spare him a single glance.He grew restless and impatient, then sped up the discussion."That's about it for today. I have a clear picture of your company now," he said.He paused briefly before adding, "Email your network security maintenance cases to me so I can review them in detail."Regardless of whether the deal went through, at least they had covered all the necessary

Even though Edward had mentally prepared himself for the worst, hearing it out loud still knocked the breath out of him. His shoulders slumped, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.So it was all a lie. The warmth, the care—all of it had been out of obligation, not affection. None of it had ever been real.His heart twisted painfully in his chest as he took in her cold, sharp gaze. For two years, she'd faked it so well, so convincingly, that he hadn't suspected a thing. He had been fooled for two whole years."What exactly did Grandpa threaten you with… to make you endure all of that?" he forced out. Macie looked at him calmly. Yosef had kept his word, it seemed. He hadn't told Edward about their deal. She figured that now was as good a time as any to reveal the truth. Even if some of it came to light, Edward would never be able to verify it."I had a deal with Mr. Fowler Senior. He didn't want you marrying Sharon, so he gave me ten million dollars and asked me t

Macie was lying, which made her feel a little guilty. Hence, she turned her head away so Edward couldn't see her expression. Edward's eyes widened in shock, but before he could question her, the door to the reception room burst open. "Macie! Are you okay?" Julian's voice rang out. He took in the situation and immediately stepped in front of Macie, shielding her with his body.Macie jumped at Julian's sudden appearance, her gaze flickering toward the door. Silas and Palmer were right there, their faces filled with awkwardness at being caught red-handed. Nathan stuck his head out from behind them and flashed her a sheepish smile. He was about to greet her, but before he could say a single word, Julian cut in sharply, "How much longer are you planning to harass her, Edward? I can't believe you'd use your position to pull this stunt while I was in a meeting!"The pain and hurt in Edward's eyes instantly morphed into fury as he looked at the man standing in front of Macie. This was th
