Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 651 - Bab 660

Sharon was genuinely moved by what Elias said. Whatever doubts she'd been holding onto vanished completely. It turned out he hadn't been suspicious of her at all. Instead, he'd gone to stand up for her with the Fowler family."Eli, thank you for always looking out for me," she said gratefully."So, are you still in love with Edward? Do you still want to marry him?" Elias asked.He went on, "Just say the word and I'll make sure he marries you. That's not wishful thinking, but a promise."Sharon watched him, drawn in by the calm certainty on his face. When Elias spoke like that, it was impossible to ignore his presence, which seemed to command the entire room. His confidence wasn't loud, but it was absolute, and she couldn't help but admire it. She knew he'd follow through on every word.Given where she stood now, she was more than qualified to marry Edward. But deep down, she couldn't help but question whether she genuinely wanted to. Looking back, she realized that there had nev

"So what? Sharon was indeed a Hale by birth. She would have returned to them eventually anyway," Yosef said, his expression blank.He went on, "Thank God Elias confirmed she was his sister in time. Can you imagine if she'd been imprisoned for this incident, only for the Hales to discover she was their long-lost daughter? They'd hold a deep grudge against us."That's just how things were meant to be. It was better that they found her sooner rather than later, even though Sharon has been nothing but trouble from the start."The person I really feel sorry for is May. She's been through hell because of all this."Yosef sighed when he thought of how Macie could only accept money as compensation instead of seeking the perpetrator to get the punishment they deserved.With all the relationship politics involved, his hands were tied. Moreover, Macie's suffering was partly his own doing.If he hadn't arranged her marriage to Edward two years ago, would Sharon have harbored such hatred towa

Yosef sat in silence for a long moment, studying Macie's face. Her expression held that same resolute indifference, but her complexion told a different story. It was pale and worn from everything she'd endured.When Macie was hospitalized after the attack, he'd planned to turn a blind eye and let Edward try to win her back and earn her forgiveness. But now, Macie was offering tens of billions of dollars just to ensure that his grandson would disappear from her world completely.Yosef wondered what kind of hatred and despair drove someone to make such an exchange.Outside the ward, Edward gripped the door frame so tightly that his knuckles went white. He struggled to keep himself upright. As he looked at his grandfather's slightly hunched back, he pleaded desperately, "Grandpa, don't…""I accept your terms," Yosef said at the same time as his grandson. His tone was calm but commanding. He went on, "I fully respect your wishes. From now on, I'll have ten bodyguards to follow Ed

Macie didn't know how she should feel about it. Should she be bitter? Filled with hatred? Or curse at life for its unfairness?She was now an adult, with a clearer and more grounded view of life. Ultimately, everything came down to fate. There was nothing she could do to change what had already happened. If she wanted to keep moving forward, she'd have to change her mindset and learn to adapt.Alice watched Macie stare blankly into space. She knew that despite Macie's claims of acceptance, it was impossible for her not to feel uneasy about it.Sharon had crossed every line. She'd repeatedly tried to take Macie's life, yet she'd managed to escape any legal consequences and was living her best life. No one could stomach such injustice.Alice could confront Edward, argue with him, or do whatever she wanted when it came to him. But she didn't have the means or the influence to put Sharon behind bars.If Sharon had come from any other family—even a family of average influence—Alice m

"Why do you suddenly want to go abroad? You've never mentioned this before," Alice said, startled.Sean looked at Macie. She had turned down his suggestion, but he wasn't surprised. Given her personality, he knew that she probably wouldn't have agreed anyway."Why do you want to quit? Are you unhappy there? And why do you have to move abroad?" Julian chimed in."No, it's not that. I'm happy at Brightech Studios. I want to go abroad because I'm looking for a change of environment," Macie explained. "I didn't tell you guys because I wanted to wait until I got my visa."Alice asked, "Are you trying to leave the country because Edward won't stop bothering you? But didn't Mr. Fowler Senior mention that he'd have someone keep an eye on him earlier?"May, just stay here with us. You'd be all alone over there, but here, you've got us."Macie shook her head. "I've already made up my mind. Even though I'll be abroad, I'll still keep in touch with you."Sensing her determination, Julian an
