Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 551 - Bab 560

Macie had nothing to do with Sean. Just over an hour ago, he had still been making nasty jokes at her expense.Sean felt like a jerk. Macie's life was already hard enough. She was divorced, and Edward was still relentlessly harassing her. Yet, Sean had added to her troubles.He clasped his hands together and pressed his lips into a tight line, his expression tinged with regret and guilt.On the other end of the call, Alice was checking in with Macie while updating Sean at the same time."She didn't call the police. May said that the two companies are in a partnership, and this happened at the office. If it escalated, it would be bad for both sides."Then she sighed. "May really has it tough. Even when she's the one getting hurt, she still worries about the bigger picture."Fortunately, she wasn't injured. It was just the phone that got smashed."Sean didn't respond. He understood why Macie didn't report it. Brightech Studios was no match for Fowler Group. That reminded him of th

Macie didn't know who the man was. As far as she could remember, he hadn't been present at any of the previous meetings related to this project. He seemed to be a new addition.The meeting lasted for an hour. The general direction was already agreed upon, and the remaining time was spent ironing out the finer details.Macie heard the man across from her ask and answer questions. She thought he seemed quite professional. When he began sharing his thoughts and expectations regarding the overall design, she made a few notes.Toward the front, Palmer glanced at the man sitting at the far end of the Fowler Group's side and instinctively felt that his identity was anything but ordinary. The comments were clearly coming from the marketing department, but their manager hadn't said a single word. It was this man who spoke instead. And though the design portion of the project had nothing to do with him, he brought that up too.Palmer frowned slightly and messaged the other department heads

When Nathan stepped forward, he realized that the situation was worse than just unsigned papers. The documents were completely ruined, soaked in black ink. They'd have to be reprinted by the business team and resubmitted for signing. Fortunately, it wasn't an urgent file."Mr. Fowler."Nathan was about to remind him that the ink was about to stain the cuff of his white shirt when Edward spoke at the same time."Macie… has fallen for someone else."Edward's voice was hoarse, thick with sorrow, as if the words themselves were painful to say. His head was lowered, and a heavy cloud of gloom hung over him. He looked utterly consumed by darkness.Nathan looked at Edward, who looked completely defeated. He thought it made perfect sense as Macie and Edward were already divorced. Her falling for someone else wasn't a crime. It was normal.Still, Nathan knew better than to say that out loud. He was here to do his job, and right now, that meant offering a little comfort, whether it was w

Elias' words, echoing through the speakerphone in Fowler Group's CEO's office, made Nathan break out into a cold sweat. The moment the conversation began, the tension skyrocketed. It seemed that Edward and Elias were about to explode.Nathan wondered what Edward did to offend Elias so badly.At the desk, Edward's expression darkened the moment Elias openly said he didn't care to meet him. His fists clenched, his teeth grinding as he glared at the phone.He thought that Elias was getting out of hand. It seemed that the latter was arrogant to the point of being infuriating.Edward wondered what right Elias had to look down on anyone, let alone him. Just because he had some success overseas, he thought he was untouchable?This was Williamford. Elias' influence overseas meant nothing here."Let me guess. Is this all about that woman, Sharon Emerson?" Edward sneered, barely holding back his temper."You're smart, Mr. Fowler. I didn't even have to say it," Elias replied, his voice ice

Nathan wondered if the standard was really that low as he watched the scene unfold before him."Don't go tattling to Grandpa," Edward coldly commanded Nathan without turning his head."Rest assured, Mr. Fowler. I'm always at your service," Nathan quickly straightened his back and replied.Edward fell silent and stared at his own reflection in the elevator doors, his expression blank. His gaze was fierce and brooding, carrying an unmistakable sense of dominance.But then he furrowed his brows. He wondered if Elias would really show up just for Sharon.The thought brought back the memory of that heated confrontation, in which Elias accused him of abandoning Sharon, toying with her feelings, deceiving her, and leaving her with debt.It seemed that that was the version of events Sharon had fed him. And Elias actually believed it. Edward thought that Elias was a fool for that.The earlier argument had left Edward fuming, his temper driving him straight into the elevator without think
