Chapter 711

At that moment, on the road outside Sunnyridge Heights, Brandon sat in his car, watching as uniformed guards occasionally passed by, some carrying stun batons. However, they weren't your average guards. They were all tall, broad-shouldered, and looked more like professional bodyguards.Brandon already had a good idea of what was going on. The target had powerful connections, and this sudden change of security had taken place earlier that morning. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. The mission was becoming increasingly complex. The security setup was nearly flawless, leaving him no point of entry.Now he finally understood why Rico's employer was offering so much money to take just one person out. It was because it was nearly impossible.He couldn't even park across from the entrance to keep watch anymore. If he lingered too long, it would raise suspicion.There was no other option. He had to lie low and wait for the right opportunity to arise.…Elsewhere, inside a high-

Chapter 712

Alice opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she ultimately stayed quiet. She thought that Sean was right. Someone like Elias was bound to attract people trying to cozy up to him.However, that had nothing to do with her. All she cared about was not running into Sharon and spoiling her mood. Sharon was now officially the heiress of the Hale family, and since Hart Group had entered into a project collaboration with the Hales, even cursing her out had to be done with caution.Still, it annoyed her. The resentment from last time hadn't even been dealt with, and now Sharon was strutting around like she owned the place. It seemed that the world really had changed—even clowns could get a spotlight now.With the most important guest present, the gala officially began.Elias stood with Sharon at the center of the crowd. He introduced her to everyone, and Sharon greeted each person with polite courtesy."You're young and already so accomplished. Mr. Hale, you're truly a role model

Chapter 713

The men were deeply engaged in business discussions while the women were chatting idly and happily. At the quietest edge of the event space, far from the noise and buzz, Alice sat alone, sipping her champagne in boredom. She was already thinking about leaving. She didn't even know who she could meet that night.After all, all the eligible men had been drawn in by Sharon, orbiting around her like she was the sun.Alice glanced at Sean, who was still mid-conversation. So Alice decided to wait a little longer. Once he was free, she'd say a quick goodbye and slip out early.She sat by herself, feeling out of place. Diagonally across the room, Sharon accepted a drink from one of the flattering young women surrounding her. From the corner of her eye, she spotted Alice sitting alone.A smirk tugged at her lips as an idea formed.She thought that it would be utterly satisfying to confront Alice directly, but Elias was present that night. So, she couldn't afford to break character. And aft

Chapter 714

Alice heard the familiar voice. Before she could even lift her head, a large hand extended in front of her.She paused for a second, then looked up and met that calm, handsome face.Honestly, she was a little surprised. After all, wasn't Elias supposed to be against her because of Sharon? Alice didn't know why he would step in to help her.The offered hand remained there, steady and polite, but Alice didn't plan to take it. She was determined to stand up on her own."This isn't the time to be stubborn," Elias said flatly.Alice hesitated but eventually reached out. The moment her hand met his—broad, steady, and strong—he effortlessly lifted her to her feet with a firm pull.Because of her twisted ankle, Alice stumbled slightly. Elias noticed this and shifted his grip from her hand to her arm, holding her steady.Alice grabbed onto his arm, and her first thought was that it felt firm under her touch. She realized that Elias definitely worked out. His core strength was ridiculous.

Chapter 715

After helping Alice to the lounge behind the ballroom, Elias waited outside while Alice went in to change. In the meantime, he asked someone to bring him medical supplies.When Alice came out, she was surprised to see Elias still there, holding a bottle of spray, a roll of gauze and bandages.Naturally, she didn't expect someone like Elias to personally assist her in applying it. She reached out to take it and said, "Thanks."Elias handed it over and asked, "Do you need someone to take you to the hospital?"Alice shook her head. "It's not that bad. I'll be fine after some rest."Elias nodded. Just as he was about to leave, Alice looked at his back and suddenly called out, "Hey—"She stopped mid-sentence, realizing that it sounded too casual. She wouldn't have cared before, but that night, he had helped her. She corrected herself as Elias turned around."Mr. Hale," she said.He looked at her."Did you help me just now because of the ties between our families and the ongoing bus

Chapter 716

Sean was slightly surprised and asked, "Why would Alice ask you to pass a message?""I just happened to run into her," Elias said simply.Sean didn't press further. He simply nodded in acknowledgement.As he watched the Hales leave, Sean rubbed his chin thoughtfully, thinking that the situation was strange. After all, wasn't Alice always bitter about Sharon? And seeing Elias usually just irritated her further. How could it be a mere coincidence, and yet she felt comfortable enough to have him relay a message?...Meanwhile, Alice had called her driver outside the ballroom. Once he arrived, he helped her into the car."Ms. Hart, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup," the driver said."No need. I've already applied some medicine. It doesn't hurt much now," Alice replied."The spray numbs the pain and cools the area, but it can mask how serious the injury really is. If there's any damage to the bone, that's no small matter," the driver insisted.He drove her straight to th

Chapter 717

Elena's expression changed drastically the moment she heard the name "Mr. Hale". After all, Elias had stepped in to help Alice earlier."You have the right to remain silent," Mitch said, his smile cold. "But Mr. Hart's background is not something a family of your status can go up against."Besides, Mr. Hale is very close to the Hart family. So even without them stepping in, I'll handle this for him."As soon as those words landed, Elena went pale.It was no wonder Mitch had come looking for her. It turned out that Elias was the one who stood up for Alice.But Elena thought that it didn't quite add up. After all, Sharon had made it clear that Elias didn't even like Alice. She'd even said that she'd never allow someone like Alice to marry into the Hale family."You're still not talking?" Mitch's deadly calm voice dropped lower. "Do you want your family's company to go bankrupt overnight? Do you want to be kicked out of Williamford and blacklisted from the social circle for good?"

Chapter 718

Elias looked around until he spotted Sean, then called him aside and laid everything out. Since Alice had been humiliated for no reason that night and even had red wine poured on her, he knew that she definitely wasn't going to let it slide. Rather than wait for the Hart family to uncover the truth, he decided that it was better to come clean himself and apologize on Sharon's behalf.After hearing Elias' brief explanation, Sean just looked at him in silence. However, his expression had already turned stormy.From targeting Macie to going after Alice, it seemed that Sharon was becoming increasingly out of control."So when you said earlier that you just happened to run into Alice, that was a lie," Sean said flatly.Elias nodded. "Ms. Hart was being harassed. I stepped in to help and took her to the lounge. I brought her some medical supplies.""Medical supplies?" Sean frowned."She twisted her ankle when she fell. It's a little swollen," Elias replied."Who pushed her?" Sean aske

Chapter 719

Sean stepped out of the ballroom and called Alice's number. When she picked up, he immediately asked her about her injury.At that moment, in Macie's living room, Alice blinked in surprise and said, "I haven't even told you yet, Sean. How did you know?"Then she thought of one possibility. "Did Elias tell you?"Sean hummed in confirmation. Alice assured Sean that her ankle was fine. She had already gone to the hospital. It was just a mild sprain, with no fractures or ligament damage.Only then did Sean relax. If it had been a fracture, he wouldn't have settled for just an apology from Sharon.He repeated what Elias had told him. After hearing that, Alice was so furious that she started cursing. "No wonder those crazy women suddenly came at me. So it was Sharon behind it!"Sitting in the living room, Macie turned her head sharply at Alice's words.Alice was still on the phone with Sean. He told her that he had already stood up for her, demanding both an apology and compensation.

Chapter 720

"By the way, May, I didn't mention earlier that it was Elias who helped me out of the venue. I figured that I shouldn't say anything nice about him since he's Sharon's brother and technically your enemy," Alice said."It's fine," Macie replied."Honestly, though, Sharon's brother, Elias, isn't a bad person. At least he knows right from wrong. As for how he spoils Sharon without question…" Macie paused. "That part's a little enviable."To have an older brother with power, someone who shielded her from everything, stood up for her, and served as her constant refuge—Sharon had it all handed to her. That was simply her fate.That thought stirred something in Macie—a hazy memory, long buried by suddenly surfacing.She remembered having an older brother once. He would lift her onto his shoulders and run around, making her feel as though she was flying. He had adored her.Macie thought that if she ever found her family again, then she probably wouldn't have to envy anyone else."Sharon
