Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 601 - Bab 610

Sharon dug into the bottom drawer of the cabinet in the presidential suite of Westgrave Hotel and pulled out a SIM card hidden between the pages of an old notebook. After inserting it into her phone, she deliberately locked herself in the bathroom.Sharon called Rico, but he didn't pick up. Just as she was about to text him, he called back. "My phone was soaked. I just bought a new one." Rico's voice came through, slightly breathless and disheveled."You waste of space!" she exploded. "I told you to be clean and efficient. You failed to carry out my request a few days ago, and now you almost got caught? If I'd known you were this incompetent, I'd never have hired you! I paid you handsomely. What the hell were you doing?"Rico bristled at the verbal attack and fired back. "You never told me that woman had personal bodyguards! All of them were trained professionals, and they were secretly tailing and protecting her. If they hadn't shown up, I'd have succeeded by now!"As soon as his

"Mr. Fowler, about the deal..." Michael inquired over the phone.Edward responded coldly, "I heard you. Give me two minutes."Michael understood what was at stake and relayed the message to the seller. The latter was willing to wait because 0.07 ounces of the concentrated antidote for Devil's Breath in exchange for 150 million dollars was an incredible deal. …Meanwhile, Edward called Elias at the end of the inpatient corridor to confront him. The call connected almost immediately. Edward suppressed his anger and gritted out, "Elias Hale, it's you, isn't it? You bought out the Devil's Breath antidote just to keep it from me, yet you had the nerve to call me cruel? If anything, you're the real monster here!"If you want revenge, come at me. But don't you dare take it out on Macie! She's innocent! You know I'm trying to save her, yet you still had your men buy up the antidote at the last minute. Don't you have a heart?"…Elias was met with a barrage of accusations the second h

After hearing that, Michael felt confused. He wondered who this Hale person was that Michael mentioned.Was Hale someone Edward had reached out to? Michael, dismissing his initial thought, reconsidered David's words from the phone call and concluded it was likely Rex Hale.Michael couldn't help but ask that out loud, and David nodded. Michael was stunned. He didn't understand why Edward would ask for his help to secure the antidote if he were that close to Rex.Everyone in the underground scene knew that Rex's operations spanned across major developed countries. David's organization also had ties to him. They sourced their supplies from Rex. "Mr. Fowler, David said that Rex took the antidote, so you don't have to buy it anymore," Michael said. Edward, however, got the wrong idea. He thought that Elias had told David to say that on purpose to stop him from getting even an ounce of the antidote. He suppressed his anger, which was already on the verge of boiling over, and let out

Mitch stared at Edward's message, utterly at a loss. He was well aware of Edward and Elias' recent altercation. Furthermore, Elias' younger sister was Edward's ex and mistress while he was married, so the two were definitely at odds. However, the thing was, Elias never mentioned using the antidote to force Edward into marrying Sharon. Elias' silence only solidified Edward's absolute certainty about his assumptions. Mitch couldn't help but wonder if he should still deliver the antidote to the hospital.After a moment of hesitation, he called Yosef. …Nolan answered the call at the private hospital. When he learned that Elias had personally sent someone overseas to find the antidote and that it was already on a plane back home, he was ecstatic. Even though the Fowlers had found a seller, their negotiations were proving much slower compared to Elias' single phone call."Please thank Mr. Hale on our behalf. We're incredibly grateful!" Nolan chirped."I'll be sure to let him know, b

Edward froze, frowning slightly. It hadn't even crossed his mind that Elias might've stepped in because of his grandfather.Just then, his phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Nolan calling. He answered and immediately asked, "Nolan, did my grandfather ask Elias for the antidote?""No, Mr. Hale offered to help on his own. I just got off the phone with his secretary," Nolan answered. "So, you don't have to go abroad on your own now, Mr. Fowler. Ms. Smith is going to be okay."After hearing that, Edward became even more convinced that Elias wasn't helping him for his grandfather's sake. After all, Edward and Macie were divorced, so she was basically his grandfather's ex-granddaughter-in-law. Elias did not have to go out of his way to help her."Elias has an ulterior motive. We're not using his antidote," Edward coldly said.Nolan responded, "No way. You must've gotten the wrong idea, Mr. Fowler."After learning that Nolan was siding with Elias and was fooled by him, Edw
