Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 501 - Bab 510

Elias was stunned by Sharon's words. He then asked confusedly, "Edward retaliated against you? Didn't he love you deeply? Why would he go after you?"He thought about all the trending headlines and the nine-million-dollar necklace he gave to Sharon. He had assumed that it was Edward's wife taking revenge. It never occurred to him that Edward himself could be behind it."We were in love at first. But later, he resented me for leaving him and studying abroad for two years. Everything that happened recently—those were just sugar-coated traps." Sharon cried again, tears streaming down her face. She continued, "He acted like he cared and loved me, but the whole time he was plotting his revenge. Once the rumors about us spread, he cut me off completely. He even got me fired from the company and left me with a massive debt."As Elias listened to her sobbing, he felt a sharp pang in his chest, a mix of anger and heartache. He had long found it odd. With a corporation as massive as Fowler

Sharon had kept the motel room very clean, like a pocket of calm in the middle of the chaos."Please, have a seat. I hope you don't mind the place," she said as she pulled out a chair before moving it toward the door.Elias took it and sat. How could he possibly mind anything about Sharon?"I'll need a little time. I've got a lot of clothes to pack," Sharon added, her tone slightly nervous.Elias nodded and waited quietly. His eyes fell on what she was wearing—a plain white T-shirt with jeans and canvas shoes. The fabric looked cheap, and there were even visible creases."Just throw it all out," Elias said. "Tomorrow I'll take you shopping. We'll buy everything new."Hearing that, Sharon, who was squatting with her back to him, lit up instantly, though she quickly suppressed the joy on her face and replied in a quieter voice, "It's fine. These are still good to wear. Nothing's torn.""If they're not torn and you don't want to toss them, then donate them," Elias said. "I'm not sa

Elias had also told Sharon that he would return the necklace to her. Didn't that mean that she would get to walk away with a hundred-million-dollar necklace without spending a single cent?And now, Sharon had a brand-new identity as the Hale family's heiress. She was beyond thrilled. She found it more exciting than winning the lottery.While she was basking in the joy of reuniting with her family and everything seemed perfect on her end, elsewhere, the person assigned to monitor her location sent an update on her latest movements.Nathan looked at the photo and frowned.Sharon was at Westgrave Hotel, an upscale place well out of reach for someone in her situation. She still owed the Fowler family five million dollars, plus another two million in contract penalties. There was no way she could afford to stay there.What's more, there was a man beside her—someone unfamiliar, absent from all previous photos and records. They had dinner together and walked closely, almost as if it were

Now that Macie and Edward were getting divorced, the score for stealing Sharon's first love had finally been settled. Which left only Edward, the true culprit who had hurt Sharon."How about the detailed investigation into Edward's divorce?" Mitch asked again."It's all—" Elias had just started to reply when a long-distance call came through, interrupting him. It was from his father, Edmund, calling."We'll talk tomorrow. There's something I need to handle right now," Elias said and ended the call with Mitch.On the other side of the world, it was morning. Edmund had just read the fax Elias sent and was so overwhelmed that his voice trembled as he spoke over the phone."It's true, Dad. I found my sister," Elias said. "You remember that emerald necklace, right? I found her because of that."I ran a DNA test using both our hair samples. The results show that we're siblings. She even remembers details from her childhood that match up. There's no mistake."Edmund was already choked

"Obviously, I came to surprise you. If I had told you in advance, wouldn't you just turn me down again?" Xavier asked, taking advantage of a red light to glance sideways at her and wink.Macie didn't respond right away. Xavier had a way with words. His speech was so smooth, it was clear he was used to charming women without even thinking twice."We weren't that familiar during the first trial. But now it's the second, and we're basically friends, right?" Xavier continued. "So, I decided to pick you up as a friend, not just a lawyer. It makes it all the more justified, doesn't it?"Macie looked at him, silently admitting that he was good with words. It was no wonder women always seemed to flock to him.As they chatted, the courthouse came into view.Once inside, Xavier returned to his serious, focused demeanor, carrying a briefcase full of complaint materials.The second trial officially began.Edward's attorney, Gavin Rothwell, pushed strongly for reconciliation.
