Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 381 - Bab 390

"Mr. Fowler… Please take care of yourself. With your stomach condition, the doctor reminded you that you shouldn't get too upset…" Nathan said.His voice was barely audible as he trembled in fear. But as Edward's assistant, he was the only one who could speak up. To him, it was the worst job in the world.Edward was so furious that he barely held it together. He jabbed the elevator buttons repeatedly, but the elevator wouldn't return.The display panel finally blinked and stopped on the first floor. As soon as the doors slid open, he hit the button for the top floor again.The elevator had been locked to a one-way service. No matter how many times he hit the button, it wouldn't respond.Edward just stood there, seething. He inwardly cursed Sean, thinking the latter must do this on purpose.He pulled out his phone and dialed Sean's number, but the other party didn't pick up.Edward stormed toward the staff elevator. The elevator's display didn't change, as if someone else was alr

There weren't many employees out and about during office hours. The gossip was spread by those executives who had been present at the contract signing earlier that day. Word got to Alice, who was itching with curiosity. She wasted no time and went to the Business Affairs Department to ask for details.When Alice asked them, the manager didn't dare hide anything and spilled all the details. As she listened, she couldn't stop laughing."Good lord! My brother is so wicked. Edward must be fuming right now," she said. As she enjoyed the gossip, the executives couldn't shake their lingering concerns."Do you think this will affect the collaboration between the two companies? After all, the contract was just signed this morning," one of them cautiously inquired.Alice snorted and replied, "If Sean isn't worried, why should you guys be?"The executives felt that she had a point. She continued, "And he waited until after the contract was signed to drop this bomb, so Edward couldn't bac

As the CEO of Hart Group, Sean's office was more than just a workplace. He had a private lounge, a rest area, and even a fully equipped gym on the same floor.He got up and typed a reply as he walked. He deliberately changed the subject to avoid putting Macie on the spot any further.At the Brightech Studios' cafeteria, Macie had just finished crafting a balanced reply. She was about to send it when a new message popped up.Sean asked, "Why didn't you buy anything yesterday? Didn't you see anything you liked? Or do you think I can't afford it?"Macie deleted the message she had just finished drafting. At least, this message was easier to respond to.Macie: "I have everything I need. My daily life's pretty well covered. But thank you again for your generosity, Mr. Hart."Macie: "The cufflinks were just a small gesture in return. Your perfume gift was too expensive, and I feel ashamed to accept it."Sean: "If I give you something and you return it with another gift, it's as if I n

Those broken pieces that lay on the floor didn't look like glass. Judging by the color, it looked like a piece of natural blue crystal. It should've been worth a fortune. But after being shattered into pieces, it was nothing more than trash.Nathan frowned at the sight. He was just Edward's assistant. So, even though he'd just witnessed the sorry state of this so-called illegitimate son with his own eyes, he didn't feel any sympathy.Adrian had overstepped from the start. As an illegitimate child, he should have known his place. Why would Edward welcome someone like him?Nathan was about to turn and leave when the person behind him suddenly said, "Mr. Levy… Does my brother really hate me that much?"Adrian's voice was soft as a whisper. It was filled with sadness and humility. Nathan pursed his lips. "Wasn't that obvious?" he thought.Still, no matter how pitiful Adrian looked, his status was higher than Nathan's. And more importantly, Yosef had personally arranged for him to re

At that moment, Nathan was halfway through his lunch when he received a call from Nolan in his office. Nathan listened carefully and answered all of Nolan's questions truthfully. "The gift Adrian brought was quite expensive, and Mr. Fowler did end up smashing it. The assistant who let him up has already been fired. "This also involves a senior executive at the company, and Mr. Fowler has asked me to look into it. I checked earlier; that person was supposed to work in the quality control department but was transferred to marketing instead. I was with Mr. Fowler at Hart Group for a meeting this morning, so I didn't get the chance to stop it in time."Nolan frowned as he listened. It was obvious that Adrian had already paved his way into the company headquarters. There was no need to guess who helped him. It must've been Bennett, who was a manager from one of the smaller subsidiaries under Fowler Group."Have you interacted with him much? What's your impression of him?" Nolan inquired
