Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 971 - Bab 980

Before his finger could tap on the button to end the call, Edward heard Bennett's faint, labored voice on the other end of the landline. "You… You cheated too, remember? And you… climbed up the ladder with your mistress' help…"Edward's expression hardened, but he didn't lose his cool. Instead, he argued, "Yeah, I cheated. What can I say? It runs in the family. "However, can you climb the ladder with your mistress' help? Forget claiming the heir's position, you can't even set foot in headquarters! "I cheated my way to the top. That proves how capable I am. You, on the other hand, will be a waste of space for the rest of your life!" With that, he hung up on Bennett without the slightest hesitation.…Bennett was rendered speechless by Edward's brazenness. With what little strength he had left, he called his secretary for help.The moment his phone hit the floor, he convulsed from a heart attack. There was no doubt that Edward's last words had struck a nerve.Both of them had

News of the collaboration spread through the business industry almost instantly after Brightech Studios signed the contract. Lyrex Global drew attention wherever it went, and Elias even more so.He had returned to the country to build a major logistics hub, yet everyone wanted a chance to talk business with him in the hopes of getting his support for their own projects. Yet somehow, he had decided to work with a company that had only been established for a little over two years. Not only were the leading companies envious, but even the smaller companies at the bottom of the chain were green with jealousy and couldn't make sense of it. In terms of experience and strength, there were countless firms more qualified than Brightech Studios. So, why did Elias pick them?Naturally, everyone started digging for details. Soon, the truth came to light; this partnership was basically a one-sided investment. Brightech Studios was to provide only a portion of the technical support, while Lyrex

In a ward at Eastlake General Hospital, Macie looked at the four or five messages Sean had sent in a row and assumed that Alice had already filled him in.She replied to each one, and when Sean read her responses, he wasn't surprised by any of the information. He thought that it was a good thing that Macie was returning to the Hale family, as no one would dare pick on her anymore, and Edward wouldn't be able to bother her again.He texted her back, but she didn't reply after that. So, he switched his phone's view over to Alice's chat and asked her to attend a business reception with him that evening.…Everbright Corporation had just wrapped up its meeting with Hart Group. However, instead of immediately agreeing to the terms, the representatives from Hart Group said they would discuss it internally and get back to them.When Sean refused to meet him, Adrian sat in the back seat of his car, his lips pressed together. He already had a feeling how this meeting would end.Hart Group

Inside a ward at Eastlake General Hospital, Alice sneezed twice. Macie looked at her and asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold?""I don't think so," Alice responded. "It's probably just my mom nagging about me. There's a business reception tonight, and I'd rather not attend. I ignored her messages, so she had my brother pass the word to me."She sighed. She was tired of these events. Every time, she would feel like a soulless machine being dragged from one social obligation to another."Mrs. Hart still wants to set you up with someone?" Macie inquired.Alice nodded and started counting on her fingers. "In the upcoming week, I'm supposed to meet Mr. Wheeler's son from Goldmark Real Estate on Monday, Mr. Reid's son from Ironbound Group on Wednesday, and Mr. Norris' son from a machinery company on Saturday."There were so many names that she could barely remember them. Macie looked at her and sighed inwardly."If you don't genuinely like someone, I doubt you'd even want to date

Nathan didn't notice the shift in Edward's expression. He continued to discuss the rumor that everyone in the industry was circulating. "Since Mr. Hale suddenly invested in Brightech Studios and no one knows why, everyone started digging into the company. The only logical explanation they came up with is that Mr. Atkins must be another one of Mr. Fowler Senior's illegitimate grandsons since Mr. Fowler Senior invested in Brightech back in the day."It was such a ridiculous theory that the moment Nathan heard it, he thought it was absurd. Yet, plenty of people had bought into it. The thought had just crossed his mind when he heard Edward mutter, "I almost wish that Julian were an illegitimate child."Nathan was dumbfounded, wondering if Adrian wasn't troublesome enough.Naturally, he didn't say that out loud. He knew that the rumor was fake anyway. He had only mentioned it in passing.With the signed documents in hand, he quietly left the office.Edward was left alone. Ever sinc
