Chapter 931

"Mr. Hale, doesn't your left cheek hurt a little?" Mitch inquired.Elias pressed his tongue against the inside of his left cheek. It did hurt a little."Mr. Hart punched you, but he only did it to save his younger sister," Mitch explained."So, you're saying that I didn't actually… do anything to Alice?" Elias asked, needing confirmation.Mitch nodded solemnly. Realizing that Sharon hadn't succeeded in her plan and that he hadn't hurt Alice either, Elias let out a quiet breath of relief.While Elias buttoned up his shirt, Mitch continued, "Also, Ms. Hart personally clarified everything to both families. Both Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Hart have reviewed the surveillance footage. Mr. Edmund and Mrs. Hale promised to do everything they could to make up for Ms. Hart's loss."After hearing that, Elias fell silent, his mind drifting back to the moment before he blacked out, when Alice had entered his room. He figured that she must have sensed something was off since her room was right next to

Chapter 932

After hearing that, Macie froze and looked at Alice. "Seriously, my not attending the gala had nothing to do with you. Stop holding yourself responsible for everything!" Alice reassured Macie. "What about you, though? Weren't you scared when the gunshots went off last night? You didn't have anyone familiar by your side.""I was fine. The bodyguards and Mitch barged into my ward right away to protect me," Macie said."Still, all that gunfire must've been frightening. I might appear fearless most of the time, but even I would be shaken up in the presence of a gun," Alice admitted.Guns were prohibited in their country. So, how could an ordinary person not be afraid of it? A single bullet was all it took to end a life."I'm seriously fine. I didn't even have any nightmares last night," Macie said, holding Alice's hand and flashing her a reassuring smile."Perhaps I've just gotten used to it after countless abduction attempts and almost getting into a car accident…" she added. "It w

Chapter 933

Alice deliberately took a few extra steps down the corridor outside the ward before coming to a halt and letting go of Elias' sleeve. She said, "Like I said, it was an accident. Neither of us saw it coming! Now that Sharon has been apprehended, let's just put this whole thing behind us."She faced Elias, though she didn't dare meet his eyes. She couldn't hide the awkwardness that lingered beneath her calm tone."Also, both our families have already come to an agreement. Personally, I don't think you need to make it up to me since Sharon was the real culprit," she added. "Times have changed. There's no need to dwell on it since nothing really happened." Elias studied the woman before him. True to her easygoing nature, she tried to make light of everything and take all the pressure off him. "Still, I owe you an apology. I'm sorry for what I did last night," Elias sincerely apologized."I was the one who went into your room first, not the other way around. I should've told you wh

Chapter 934

Macie, who was on the hospital bed, had been watching Alice ever since she entered the ward, but Alice didn't seem to notice. She sat there absentmindedly, her mind clearly elsewhere. Then, a rosy blush crept up her face, making her look a little lovestruck."Alice," Macie called out. Alice snapped out of her reverie and looked up at her. Just then, the door opened and Elias walked in.Alice noticed him out of the corner of her eye and hastily tried to act normal. "Mr. Fowler Senior, would you like some coffee? May, do you want some water?" Before either could answer, she was already heading to the water dispenser, causing Macie to glance at her twice. There was definitely something off about Alice's behavior. She seemed calm on the surface, but she was definitely different from usual. Despite her suspicions, Macie didn't think much of it. The hospital room remained quiet and peaceful on the surface.Alice brought over the drinks, and Macie took a few sips before turning to

Chapter 935

Elias took two steps back, his gaze softening as he looked at Macie. "Thank you for forgiving me. I promise I'll never hurt you again!" he said, his voice thick with emotion.Macie met his gaze, a faint smile curving her lips. To be honest, he had never really hurt her. It was Sharon who had hired the assassins.He had once covered for Sharon, but it was only because he thought that Sharon was her. Besides, he had paid her a huge settlement and signed an agreement. Macie believed him when he said he had never intended to harm her.…After staying in the ward for a while longer, Yosef got up to leave, and Elias walked him out. Yosef inquired, "Did you really just send Sharon to prison? After everything she's done, she deserves far worse!" "Of course not. That was just the version I told Macie," Elias answered.The truth was far too bloody and violent. He didn't want Macie to know how ruthless he could be.Yosef felt relieved when he heard that. Since the Hales had dealt with S

Chapter 936

Bennett had always worried that Adrian would never get a chance to shine under Edward's shadow. He hadn't expected Edward to bring about his own downfall, risking his life to save his ex-wife. He figured that Yosef and the board members at Fowler Group had been bitterly disappointed in him, making it the perfect time for Adrian to step up."You have to make the most of this opportunity. It's right in front of you. Prove yourself and show the board and your grandfather what you're capable of," Bennett said solemnly."I know, Dad," Adrian said. He was well aware of the importance of taking advantage of this opportunity. Edward had earned a reputation as a man who loved his ex-wife deeply, and Adrian was more than willing to help spread that story further.He had already prepared and paid for a prewritten news article. It was time to publish it. But Adrian had something else on his mind. He had his men monitoring the Hale family's every move, and he discovered that over the past week

Chapter 937

After all this time, the news of Edward's past actions just had to break now. There was no doubt whose doing this was."I already had everything taken care of back then," Nathan explained over the phone. "I didn't expect them to have a backup. I've already asked the PR team to send a lawyer's letter to Brightech Studios."After hearing that, Edward's gaze hardened, and he balled his fists. Adrian had finally revealed his true colors. Was he panicking because Edward was about to be discharged from the hospital? Was that why he had spread all these rumors?Edward sneered inwardly, "Such cheap tricks were nothing more than the antics of a clown." …It was evening rush hour, the time when online traffic hit its peak. The internet was inundated with gossip and rumors about the CEO of Fowler Group, one of the most influential families in the elite circle. Countless entertainment and marketing accounts were reposting the news.The topic shot straight to the top of the trending list,

Chapter 938

The most important point was that Adrian's return had been Yosef's idea. Yosef had initially skipped over Bennett and handed the CEO position directly to Edward. He had even stepped in personally to help Edward suppress the senior members of Fowler Group so his ascension could progress smoothly. Now that he had called Adrian back home, and specifically back to headquarters, everyone couldn't help but wonder if Yosef intended to change his successor. It was understandable, though. After all, if Edward had done his job properly, Adrian wouldn't have had a chance to take his place. Yet, thanks to Edward's scandals dominating the headlines, the company's image and its stock price had taken a serious hit. Everyone in the business world was paying attention to the brewing power struggle. All of them were aware that Edward was still in the hospital and hadn't shown up at work for an entire week. That was all it took for people to start betting on the outcome.Adrian's projects suddenly

Chapter 939

Elias had already taken over the entire 15th floor of Eastlake General Hospital's inpatient wing. He had even converted one of the empty wards into a temporary office and stopped going to the company altogether."Mr. Hale, that's everything we know so far about the situation at Fowler Group," Mitch reported. "Mr. Fowler Senior hasn't made an appearance or given any instructions. I've heard that Fowler Group will be holding a board meeting tomorrow morning. Also, Bennett Fowler personally reached out to me not long ago, hoping to speak with you and discuss the possibility of getting an investment from Lyrex Global, and I turned him down." Elias hummed in response. Personally, he couldn't care less about what was happening with Fowler Group. The power struggle between Edward and Adrian had nothing to do with him. Lyrex Global had already signed a partnership deal with Fowler Group, and any future collaborations would follow standard procedures, not personal connections.If that illeg

Chapter 940

"Mr. Hale, should we issue a public statement to clear things up?" Mitch asked. That way, Edward wouldn't be able to use the Hale family's name to turn the situation around.Elias remained silent for a moment, his face expressionless as he looked through the promotional materials Mitch had gathered. After a few seconds, he said, "He's already blurred our faces. If we release a statement now, wouldn't that just make it obvious that we're the ones in those pictures?"Elias thought that this publicity stunt was quite clever. Edward never explicitly said that Sharon was related to the Hale family, yet those pictures said everything.Edward was obviously attempting to ride on the Hales' coattails. He didn't spell it out, so even if they confronted him, he could just play dumb. Elias could easily make a statement declaring that Sharon had no ties whatsoever to his family. Yet, doing so now would mean burning all bridges with the Fowler family.He despised Edward—loathed him, even—for w
