"Macie never took me from you," Edward said. "It was Grandpa who forced her to marry me."However, Sharon didn't believe him. It wasn't as though she didn't know about Macie's feelings for Edward. She knew that Macie had liked him since high school.But, of course, Sharon would never say that out loud. After all, why would she do Macie any favors? If anything, she was hoping that the two of them would split for good."Ed, you and Macie are already divorced. It's in the past. Why don't we start over?" she persisted.Sharon has a long history with Edward. She had "known" him since high school, and they started dating in college. After all the effort she'd put into their relationship, she wouldn't give up on their relationship that easily."Who wants to start over with you? I'm not even divorced," Edward spat.He gritted his teeth and glared at her. Just hearing the word "divorce" made him tense up. He insisted that he hadn't divorced Macie."How is that possible? The paperwork was

This time, no one would offer Sharon ten million dollars to leave Edward. She'd vanish without a trace, like a filthy rat scurrying through the shadows."I admit it. I slipped the divorce agreement inside and made you sign it," she said through sobs as she crawled over and clung to his leg.After hearing her confession, his rage exploded, and he kicked her away.Sharon grunted in pain and continued through the sobs, "But it was Macie who made me do it. She doesn't love you anymore. She wanted a divorce, but you refused. She had no choice but to come to me for help."I swear. I wasn't hiding anything from you. She made me promise not to tell you. "I'm her friend. I had to help her, Ed. I had to…""Bullshit! She loves me and would never ask for a divorce," Edward shouted. He continued, "You're the one who drove a wedge between us. It's you who tricked me into signing the divorce agreement. That divorce means nothing."Edward couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't wait until tomorr

Edward was so furious that he nearly ripped the page on the spot. He couldn't even bear to look at it. His jealousy was eating him alive as his eyes burned with rage.But just as he began to rip the corner, he stopped. After all, this was Macie's diary, which held her memories. He figured that he could still use the excuse of returning it to find her.Edward was filled with jealousy. He stormed over, snatched the other half of the diary from Sharon's hands, then slammed the door shut.He couldn't bring himself to look at the diary. It had been with Macie since high school and through college. Even after they got married, she still carried it with her everywhere. He figured that she must've really liked her first love.Edward gritted his teeth. His heart was heavy with unspoken frustration and sorrow. This made him envy and hate that bastard even more.Overcome by emotion, he nearly tore the diary again. But after several moments of inner conflict, he forced himself to stop.Edwar

While walking to the master bedroom, Edward instinctively glanced at the small guest room next to it. He subconsciously turned and stepped inside.The room was empty. Macie had cleaned everything before she left, even the toothbrush and cup.She hadn't left a single trace behind. There wasn't even the slightest sign that she'd ever been here. That alone made it clear how decisively she had walked away.Edward's eyes burned with unshed tears, and his fingers curled into fists. Like a child desperate for comfort, he brought over his blanket and pillow and lay on the bed Macie used to sleep in.…Outside the neighborhood, Sharon stood there with her eyes swollen from crying after being kicked out. The property management had cleared away her belongings, and she quickly dialed her assistant, Rebecca.When Rebecca arrived and saw Sharon's disheveled and miserable loon, she had a good idea of what had happened but didn't dare ask."Not a word of this gets out. Got it? If Edward finds

As the car started moving, Macie asked, "Are you here just to pick me up?""Not exactly. I was just passing by," Julian said.She pursed her lips together. It was clear she didn't believe him."It's true. After I dropped you off last night, I realized that your place is on the same route as mine. I figured, why not swing by again this morning?" he said earnestly.Macie looked at Julian. He was dressed in a sharp black suit and had even put on cologne. He definitely looked like he'd put some effort into his appearance."Julian, I'm just going to be upfront with you," she said."If it's something I don't want to hear, then don't bother," he replied.She looked at him, sighed, and said, "You're a smart guy. I'm sure you already know what I'm thinking. So there's no need for either of us to dance around it.""Have you broken up with him?" Julian suddenly asked.Macie was taken aback. She hesitated before saying, "Yes. We broke up."To be more precise, it was a divorce. There woul

Julian fell silent at Macie's words.He wanted to know who could have her so deeply. The situation reminded him of that old saying—once bitten, twice shy. He was both curious and jealous, especially since she always rejected him so decisively."May I ask who that person is?" he asked."Sorry. I don't want to talk about it," Macie replied.This chapter of her life was one she no longer wanted to revisit. Moreover, Julian and Alice knew Edward, and talking about someone they were familiar with always felt awkward."Did you really like him that much?" Julian asked again."I've loved him for almost nine years," Macie answered.When he heard about the number of years she had devoted to this person, Julian couldn't help but feel like he had never stood a chance. It was no wonder many men had tried to win Macie's heart in college, but she never accepted any of them."You'll get over it. You're a strong person," Julian comforted her.Macie responded with a soft hum. She was already

"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to Macie. Please don't submit the divorce agreement," Edward pleaded.There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Macie had signed the papers herself and left decisively. She made it clear that she wanted the divorce. Finally, Yosef said, "Whether or not you signed willingly, it's a done deal. Stop making a scene.""No, Grandpa. You can't do this to me," Edward said frantically. He continued, "You were the one who made me marry Macie and made me fall in love with her. How can you turn around and destroy it?"I love her and can't live without her. I'm not asking for anything else. I just don't want you to submit the divorce agreement." Edward's voice cracked, and his tone was full of desperation.After hearing his grandson in such a state, Yosef sighed."There's a 30-day cooling-off period. If you can reconcile with Macie during that time, the divorce will be nullified," he said.Edward's face immediately lit up with hope

It was only Macie's second day at work, and rumors about her and Julian were already spreading. She knew that she had to be extra careful and keep her distance from him at the company from now on.But despite her intentions, as soon as she got her food and sat down, someone appeared beside her. She turned to see it was Julian."Mind if I join you?" Julian asked, smiling, though he had already taken a seat.Macie quietly moved over to make room.Her two colleagues across from her picked up on the situation and started to stand up."Let's all sit together. Otherwise, it'll be awkward if it's just Macie and me," Julian said. His tone was composed and gracious.The two colleagues hesitated for a moment before sitting back down. They sneaked glances at him and then at Macie.Macie stayed silent and focused on her meal, while Julian did the same, as if he were just there to share a table with her.When she finished, Macie politely said goodbye and left with her colleagues. He watched

Lucille Zimmerman's voice had gotten so loud that it caught the attention of the entire office. Macie was about to fire back, but Alice pressed her shoulder down, getting her to sit back down. "If you've got a problem with me, go ahead and report me! Instead of squawking like a parrot here, get someone from your company to deal with me. Not even your thick, cheap foundation can hide those crow's feet.""How dare you!" Lucille's anger boiled over, pissed off at the brutal insult. "Who do you think you are, coming in here acting all high and mighty like that?" she snapped, practically leaping to her feet. "I'm calling security right now. Let's see how long you last in here!"With that, she whipped out her phone, while others tried to calm her down, saying there was no need to make a big deal of it and that it'd be fine if Alice just left on her own."I was just giving them a friendly reminder. She's the one who started insulting me first! Why should I let her off the hook so easily?

As the workday neared its end, Alice grabbed her purse and clocked out a good 30 minutes early. Why was she so bold? Well, the company was her family's, and she was the heiress. Work was just a way for her to pass the time. She'd much rather do this than sit through another boring high-society tea party.She drove straight to Macie's workplace and even picked up some mini cakes on the way to surprise her.Carrying her designer handbag, dressed in an expensive and gorgeous long dress, and strutting in her stiletto heels, Alice radiated elegance from head to toe. Tossing back her voluminous curls, she approached one of the employees near the door and casually asked where Macie's office was. The woman looked up, a little starstruck, then pointed her in the right direction. After the stunning woman left, the staff member couldn't help but glance back. The fragrance she wore was so enticing. It wasn't the cheap, artificial scent, but something natural and fresh.And her demeanor defini

"Well, yeah. Weren't your families planning a marriage alliance? That would technically make Edward your fiancé… and your brother's future brother-in-law," Xavier said cheekily."I wouldn't marry that scumbag even if he were the last man on Earth!" Alice fumed."Alright, Xavier. That's enough," Sean butted in. "Our family has already called off the marriage alliance with the Fowlers."That actually caught both Xavier and Alice off guard. The latter turned to Sean and asked, "Wait… you only said you wouldn't force me before. But it's officially called off now?""How are we supposed to go through with the marriage alliance after the scene you made with Edward last night?" Sean inquired.A smile immediately broke across her face. She would've made a scene with Edward a long time ago if she'd known that it was all it took to break off the engagement."Hold on, I smell gossip. What happened last night? What did you and Edward do, Alice?" Xavier asked, clearly intrigued."Ask my broth

Meanwhile, Xavier Marlowe leaned back in his leather chair, with one leg casually crossed over the other, as he flipped through the freshly printed documents his assistant, Miles Thatcher, had just handed him in Marlowe Law Group. The pages still carried the faint warmth and scent of fresh ink."Mr. Marlowe, are you sure you want to take this case? You'd be going up against the Fowler family," Miles reminded him."Why wouldn't I be? It's a lawyer's job to stand up against injustice." Xavier set the documents down, his lips curving into an amused smile. "There's been a lot of buzz in the upper circles about Edward's divorce lately. I never thought I'd end up representing his wife. What a small world… This is going to be fun."Miles watched his boss with a knowing expression. He could already tell that Xavier wasn't interested in the case. He just wanted front-row seats to the drama.He had already asked around with a few other firms. Macie had reached out to them, too, but none of t

Macie pressed her lips together. Edward had mentioned two days ago that he'd hired an entire legal team. She didn't think he was serious, let alone that he'd move this fast.She removed Nathan from her blocked list and gave him a call. When he picked up, she said, "Thanks for the heads-up. I'll find a lawyer in the next couple of days."He responded, "No problem. Mr. Fowler is taking this seriously. He even threatened to ruin his lawyers' reputations if they lose."Macie's expression turned colder after hearing that. Nathan had clearly risked a lot to warn her. He was still Edward's assistant, so he asked her to keep it to herself. "Don't worry," she assured him. "I won't tell anyone. I won't even tell Mr. Fowler Senior until the case is officially filed."Then, she inquired, "Was this what you were trying to tell me when you called last night? Sorry I missed your call.""Oh, no, that wasn't it," he responded. "Mr. Fowler went to your apartment complex last night, and the securi

The next day brought more clarity and another shocking revelation."Mr. Fowler has already held a meeting and laid out a plan to acquire the company Ms. Smith is currently working at, Mr. Fowler Senior," Nolan reported. "I reached out to the company's owner, and they confirmed it, saying they're currently trying to fight off the acquisition."After hearing that, Yosef's expression congealed. He hadn't expected Edward to take things this far. He couldn't believe that Edward was so hung up on Macie that he would buy out Julian's company."As for the incident with Ms. Hart, things are a bit more complicated," Nolan added. "Just as you suspected, Mr. Fowler wasn't just out for a drive last night. He was off doing something else."When Yosef learned that Edward had harassed Macie all the way to her apartment building and even forced his way in before the police dragged him off, he was so furious that he started coughing uncontrollably. "Go… to the company and… shut down the acquisitio

Yosef barked over the phone, "Edward and Macie's divorce isn't even final yet, and you were already rushing to arrange a marriage alliance with the Hart family. Did you seriously think that Edward would thank you for that? Don't give me that 'I did it for his own good' bullshit! You were clearly looking for your own gain!"After being chided by his own father, Bennett's face darkened. Clutching his phone tightly, he shot back, unwilling to back down, "Do you think your precious grandson will forever be grateful to you? You're doing the exact same thing you did to me—forcing him to marry someone he doesn't even like! The only difference is that, at least, my ex-wife came from a reputable family!"Yet, you made him marry an orphan with no notable background and no family to speak of. Careful, or one day he might realize the truth and hate you so much that he won't even show up at your funeral!""Y-You ungrateful little bastard!" Yosef was shaking. He was about to curse at Bennet when
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 188
Back when the Hart family tried to propose a marriage alliance to the Fowlers, they found out that Edward was already married. Now, the Fowlers had brought up the idea of an alliance again, claiming that he was already divorced.Diana had always wondered why the marriage hadn't been made public two years ago. The Fowlers were the kind of family that cared about social standing. Would the bride's family really agree to a hidden marriage? But after learning who Edward's ex-wife was, things started to make more sense. She figured that the elders of the Fowler family must have disapproved of the match altogether, so they skipped all the formalities. In the end, their marriage only lasted two years."Either way, Edward's not a good man," Sean added. "Alice said he was violent and that he put his ex-wife in the hospital with fractured bones. Also, do you remember his cheating scandal a while back? He nearly got her killed in a gas leak while trying to pressure her into a divorce."Every

Alice's words stunned Macie. The latter simply looked at Alice. She wondered who had the guts to trash-talk Alice and if it was another heiress from the same social circle."Do you need my help?" Macie asked.Alice shook her head. "It's better if you don't get involved. If you show up…" She paused. "You might get dragged into this, too. Don't worry. I can handle it."If Macie joined her in exchanging insults and Edward showed up mid-argument, he would drop his temper in a heartbeat and start groveling like a puppy. Alice felt gross when she thought about that. It'd be like watching a pig roll around with her prize-winning cabbage.So, she kept going toe-to-toe with that mad dog Edward. She called him out publicly and stirred things up in the socialite group chat. Her goal was to tarnish his reputation and warn the other women before anyone else was fooled by his polished mask and rotten core.That night, Edward's reputation was in ruins. Within their circle of elite families, he
