Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 361 - Bab 370

Macie said, "These two things have nothing to do with each other. You're just forcing a connection that's not there."But Alice wasn't backing down. She raised another "piece of evidence"."When I was trying to convince you to go shopping, he just sat there in the car and didn't drive off. He was waiting for your answer!"Macie said, "We were having a conversation. Of course Mr. Hart wasn't going to just drive off. That would've been rude."However, Alice wasn't convinced. She insisted, "I already agreed to it at the beginning. If he really wanted to pay for me, he should've gotten out of the car right then, but he didn't. He stayed. Why? Because he was waiting on you."Macie said, "You're reading way too much into this. He only waited a few seconds." She tried to reason her way out, but Alice was having none of it. She crossed her arms and stared Macie down."When Sean first said that line, he was clearly talking to you. I was in the passenger seat, on the other side of the car.

"If you go ahead and buy things for me without asking, I'll just courier them straight to your place," Macie stated."Fine, fine. You win." Alice let out a long sigh, her expression filled with helplessness and resignation.Macie was satisfied with her friend's response.As the two walked into the mall, Macie eventually asked the question that had been bothering her for a while."Why did Sean suddenly want to buy me something? He hasn't been mean to me lately. So, he doesn't need to make up for anything."Alice glanced at a handbag and casually replied, "Who says he hasn't? This morning, he made you stand under the sun and flirted with you. He also threw you under the bus in the private room, cornering you to answer his questions. Isn't that still considered bullying?""That doesn't count. He didn't tease me in front of everyone," Macie replied.At Brightech Studios, Sean had embarrassed her in front of the company's top management, right before a major meeting. And after being

Even though the Hart siblings tried to trick Edward earlier, claiming that Sean was dating Macie, Edward didn't buy it for a second. After all, if they were really seeing each other, why had the two of them never been spotted together again after that? Forget about holding hands or going on dates—Sean didn't even get out of the car this time. He just dropped Alice and Macie off and left.Edward hadn't planned to look into it further after confirming the license plate, but after a while, he still reached out to the owner of the restaurant.Usually, customer information was kept strictly confidential. But he was Edward Fowler, the CEO of Fowler Group. Even the fanciest restaurant owners had to show a bit of deference and caution around him, as it was in their best interest."Mr. Hart indeed settled the final payment for that bill," the owner replied.With Sean's name being confirmed, Edward asked, "Did he originally book a table for two? And then add a third person later?""No. Mr

"May was already burned that badly at that point, but she didn't tell me until after she handed you the divorce papers. If I'd known earlier, you would've been in real trouble," Yosef said over the phone.Edward froze. He reazlied that Macie hadn't run to Yosef immediately to complain and had only told him later."I can't believe you made me look like such a fool. At that time, I even begged May to give you another chance. And do you know what she said to me?" Yosef continued, furious. "She told me to give her a chance to live!"Edward stood there in shock. He didn't know Macie had said that. She begged Yosef to spare her life because she just wanted to live. It was such a humble and heartbreaking plea. But he had never wanted her dead. The gas leak—he hadn't caused it. At worst, he had failed to notice it in time, which was why he left her alone in the house.But later, when the doctor raised the alarm, he rushed home immediately. He had only just missed the rescue team by minutes

"What privacy are you talking about? I'm just asking who paid for the bag," Aaron said.The cashier smiled slightly and explained, "Our boutique handbags are all high-priced items, so we're strictly forbidden from disclosing any customer information to outsiders."Aaron blinked in disbelief. He didn't know what her response was about. Did she seriously think he was some kind of thief? Or worse, a gold-digger trying to latch on?Still, he didn't argue with her. He'd blow his cover if they got into a fight and she alerted Macie and Alice that someone had been asking about them.He left the boutique and stepped outside. Inside, several sales associates watched him go, finding him highly suspicious. They decided that if he came back again, they'd call the police immediately.Aaron called Edward. When the call connected, he reported the situation.He didn't have money or status, but Edward did. With Edward stepping in, they could ensure the inquiry wouldn't be leaked to Macie or Alice
