Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 581 - Bab 590

Sean acted like nothing had happened yesterday, as if there was no awkwardness between him and Macie. Then, he texted her."Can you prepare an extra portion? Thank you."Macie raised an eyebrow when she read his message. He was the one who had said last time, "Do you think I'm a pig?" and then asked her to reduce the portions.As she was thinking, he sent another message."I heard Alice wants to mooch a meal too. She's a glutton. I'm sorry for the trouble."Macie frowned. She barely glanced at the message before snapping a screenshot and forwarding it to Alice, who was called a "glutton" by her brother. After all, she and Alice were on the same side.Almost instantly, Alice responded with a 60-second voice message—the max length for a single clip. But that wasn't all she sent.Macie didn't even need to press play to know that Alice had gone off. Judging by the length of the audio note alone, it had to be packed with every curse word she could think of.After that, Alice bombard

Charlie snapped to attention and awkwardly backed out of the room. He knew that there was no point in pushing further. Sean would share the news when he was ready.Once the door closed, Sean returned to his tablet. However, his mind was elsewhere, and his expression darkened slightly.Good news coming? Where were they getting that from?He'd only glanced at his phone, yet his employees jumped to all these wild conclusions. That was way off the mark.Sean continued to catch up on the international updates, then sent a message to Charlie."Rex, the CEO of Lyrex Global, is in the country. Find out why he's here."Charlie replied instantly and immediately went to investigate.Sean pursed his lips as he glanced at the image of the former CEO of Lyrex Global's first branch, who had already been dealt with. That was quicker than he expected.If he remembered correctly, that man's Averdane name was Elias Hale. Sean had met him twice back when he was working abroad to discuss financial

The driver wasn't entirely convinced. To him, Macie looked underage, and Rico was about his age. So, he doubted Rico's claim that Macie was his girlfriend.Judging by Rico's clothes, he didn't look wealthy at all. If he weren't trying so hard to hide his face behind a mask and sunglasses in the middle of summer, it wouldn't have seemed so suspicious.As the driver hesitated, Rico climbed into the back seat and urged, "Hurry up and drive! What are you dawdling about? Do you want to make money or not?"I'll pay extra. Just hurry up. Those two creeps are harassing my girlfriend because she's pretty."The driver didn't immediately press the gas pedal to the floor. Instead, the car crept forward slowly.Then, the two men running alongside got closer and threatened, "If you drive off, you're an accomplice. You'll be behind bars for the rest of your lives."They went on, "We're her bodyguards, and he's a bad guy. Stop the car!"Hearing that, the driver was terrified and slammed on the

Elias glanced sideways at Edward, who glared at him with pure protest. Even if Edward wanted him to stay, Elias had no plans to move into the Fowler residence—not while Sharon was with him.There was no way he'd bring her into that den of wolves. That would be like sending a lamb straight to the lion's mouth."Thanks for the offer, Mr. Fowler Senior, but I've got a long-term hotel booking. Plus, my schedule's all over the place. I don't want to cause any trouble," Elias politely declined.Yosef listened and knew it was just his polite way of refusing. No matter how often Elias came and went, the Fowler residence was big enough that it wouldn't trouble him in the least.Edward heard the exchange but said nothing. However, his expression seemed to say, "At least you know your place.""Well then, you're welcome anytime," Yosef said. "Come by for a meal whenever you're free and treat it like your home. Back in our days, your grandfather and I were practically brothers in business."E

Elias was about to step out of the door when Nolan received a phone call from the cops. "Ms. Smith suffered a head injury," he relayed as he paused to listen. "It's not life-threatening, but the problem is that… she's been poisoned. The cops said she was exposed to Devil's Breath. It's a modified compound of Atropine—a lethal powdered neurotoxin."Yosef's eyes widened in shock when he heard that. He had no idea what Devil's Breath could do, but if the cops were calling it lethal, he figured that it must be extremely dangerous.Elias also froze in his tracks when he heard those two words. His lips pressed into a hard line as he was well aware of how dangerous that chemical was. It was a silent killer, infamous abroad for its ability to destroy the brain's nervous system.It earned the nickname Devil's Breath for a reason. Once inhaled, one would drift into eternal bliss painlessly. However, as far as he knew, it was nearly impossible to get this substance in the country due to stri
