Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 331 - Bab 340

Sidney and Taylor clocked out right after Macie and, as expected, they spotted Macie and Julian meeting in the lobby. They were laughing and chatting, walking off side by side. The way they looked at each other made it obvious that they were in love.Macie had just filed for divorce, and now she was about to become Brightech Studios' CEO's wife, going from coworker to boss in the blink of an eye. Sidney and Taylor couldn't help but admire Macie.Rumor had it that she only married Edward because of Julian. They heard that Julian had always been the one she liked. Macie couldn't care less about Edward, who had been devoted to her. Hence, after all the twists and turns, it seemed like the two of them finally found their way back to each other.They believed that there was something special about Macie. After all, who would've guessed that the newbie who joined the company not too long ago had connections that ran so deep? Both of them made a mental note to stay in Macie's good graces a

Watching Alice flaunt her shamelessness like a badge of honor, Sean simply shook his head and turned to head back into his room. "When the time comes, don't be cold or snarky, okay? Try not to pick on my friend this time!" Alice yelled after her cold-hearted brother.The only response she received was the door slamming shut in her face. She shot daggers at the door for a moment before turning around and walking away.Just around the corner in the hallway, Diana, holding a cup of water, overheard the entire conversation. Her brows knitted ever so slightly in thought. Then, she made her way to the other side of the hallway. …Meanwhile, Sean opened the velvet box and found a pair of understated yet luxurious sapphire cufflinks set in sleek platinum. He picked them up and took a closer look. The quality and craftsmanship were top-notch, and they sparkled beautifully in the light.He arched his brow, quietly impressed. He thought that Macie had great taste.Alice had mentioned the

Edward was down to his last sliver of hope. The gas leak in the kitchen… that had to have been Macie's carelessness, right? He thought that she might have just forgotten to turn off the stove. He was skeptical that Sharon would have gone out of her way to turn it on just to frame Macie.But then again… Sharon had been in the living room the entire night. If she had done that, she would've been risking serious harm to herself. It wasn't like the sprained ankle or the hangover soup stunt, which had caused her no real harm.Nevertheless, he remembered what Nathan had said after visiting Macie at the hospital. Macie had insisted that they'd tried to hurt her, that he had taken Sharon away from the house on purpose to expose her to gas poisoning.Now, he was stuck between two completely conflicting versions of the truth. He didn't know who he was supposed to believe.He figured he should just stick to the facts. If Macie had entered the kitchen that night and neither he nor Sharon had,

"You don't need to go into that much detail," Edward said flatly. Just telling him Macie and Alice had been driven home in a cab would've been enough. As long as it wasn't some guy Macie knew, he didn't care.As soon as his words fell, the man on the other end of the line thought to himself, "Well, that's because you have this pathological need to control the target. The second a man shows up near her, you spiral into a jealous rage. That's why I have to report to you even if there's a male mosquito around her."Naturally, he kept those thoughts to himself. He was a professional, after all, and still wanted to continue to work for this big shot as he could make five figures every day without breaking a sweat. Edward turned his attention back to the attachments now downloaded on his laptop. It was mostly photos of Macie, Julian, and Alice seated around a dinner table.He was paying top dollar for this, so as long as it wasn't a high-end venue, the people he hired would always find

Sean didn't react much to Alice's over-the-top flattery. He just said, "Go tell Mom and Dad. I'll start the car."Alice nodded and headed downstairs while Sean grabbed the car keys and walked toward the garage. Since it was the weekend, their driver had the day off. Sean would be driving that day.In the living room, Alice informed Diana that she and Sean were heading out for lunch.Diana asked, "Just the two of you?""No. My friend's treating us. It's with the one I mentioned before—Macie," Alice explained."She just finalized her divorce from Edward and came out on top, so she's taking me and Sean out to celebrate."Diana nodded, immediately recalling the conversation she'd overheard Friday night between Alice and Sean."If your friend ends up having any more trouble with Edward, like splitting assets or anything legal, make sure you help her if you can," she advised."She probably won't need me. Xavier is her lawyer, and he's got it covered," Alice replied.Diana paused for
