Without saying a single word, Macie closed her eyes, her mind drifting back to something that had happened in her sophomore year of high school. Edward had burst through the door to save her. However, she didn't know if he had come in response to her or Sharon's message for help.Back then, Sharon had run out and thrown herself into his arms, crying that she knew that he'd come for her. So, Macie figured that it must've been the latter.Nevertheless, the reason she kept thinking about that incident was that her alternate account had been deleted that very night—not by her, but by someone else. At the time, she had dropped her phone while running away, and when the cops and school staff showed up, she had been too terrified to look for it. The next day, Sharon returned her phone to her, saying that the family wanted to settle things privately. They had taken Macie's phone to destroy any evidence, and her account had been deleted in the process.Macie hadn't thought much about it at

"Mr. Fowler has actually been behaving quite well these days, Mr. Fowler Senior. Perhaps he acted out today because something happened." Nolan tried to ease the tension at the Fowler residence.Yosef snorted. "What could've happened? I say he's lost his mind!" Determined to smooth things over between Yosef and Edward, Nolan questioned the bodyguards to find out what had happened. No one knew the reason, but Edward had already sent his men to keep watch on the first floor of the inpatient wing of Eastlake General Hospital. He told them to kick out any man who dared to visit Macie.Nolan wasn't sure if he should report what he'd learned, but before he could decide, Yosef asked, "So, what happened?"Nolan hesitated for a second before saying nothing much, yet Yosef easily saw through his lie. His expression hardened before he threatened, "Would you prefer I question them myself?"Nolan immediately came clean. After hearing his recount, Yosef slammed the table and barked, "Go tell Ed

While Nathan was fumbling for an answer, Alice jumped in to save him. She said, "He came with good intentions. Why are you grilling him like he's a criminal?""Perhaps you should ask him why he looks so guilty. Then, we'll know whether he came here of his own free will, or if someone had sent him," Elias reasoned apathetically.Alice was caught off guard. Macie, who was lying on the hospital bed, froze for a moment too."It's neither the weekend nor off-hours. Did you skip work just to come here?" Elias pressed. Nathan forced out, "...I was actually here to deliver some documents to Mr. Fowler. I had a bit of extra time, so I thought I'd drop by to visit Ms. Smith."Elias sneered, "I didn't know that Edward's chief assistant could take time off in the middle of work just to visit someone at the hospital."Nathan was at a complete loss for words. He was intimidated by Elias' mere presence and felt like he might not make it out alive that day.He figured that he should've come af

Sean and Xavier came to visit Macie with gifts at around 6:00 pm. Xavier greeted her warmly, and Macie smiled in return.After asking how she was doing, Xavier looked at her and sighed. "It's only been a few days, and my former client has already turned into the famous heiress of Lyrex Global. Ms. Smith, don't forget us commoners when you're rich and powerful. Please take good care of my little law firm in the future!"Looking at him, Macie was at a loss for words. Alice butted in and said, "May hasn't officially returned to the Hale family yet.""Oh, that's fine. I'm just calling dibs." Xavier grinned."Why don't you focus on improving your firm's reputation instead? Hale Group doesn't exactly need another top-tier legal team," Sean remarked."That's exactly why I'm applying to be Ms. Smith's personal legal advisor. I wouldn't dare dream of joining the mighty Hale Group." Xavier winked at Macie.Macie looked at him, remembering how, back when she was filing for a divorce from Ed

In the blink of an eye, the day of the gala had arrived.When Raine handed the keycard to Sharon, the latter accepted it with a smile. "Thanks for helping me. Make sure you dress up tonight and steal the spotlight!" Raine lowered her head bashfully and nodded.The duo chatted for a moment longer before Raine finally left. When she turned around, she cupped her cheeks, which were still burning. Her friends had urged her to use the keycard to sneak into Elias' room and make a move, but she didn't have the guts for that. She had done her homework. Elias wasn't just a successful businessman. He was also a ruthless arms dealer, a dangerous and powerful man. Besides, she already had a better way to get what she wanted. She didn't think that there was any need to stoop that low.Raine had already gained Sharon's approval and was set to be introduced to Elias. All she had to do now was wait for that night to come. The thought filled her with excitement and joy, and she eagerly went to p
