Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 120
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

The discussion was filled with malicious speculation, but no one spoke up. Instead, most of them just gossiped out of curiosity.When someone mentioned that Julian had arrived, everyone fell silent.After handing Macie the elevator access card, they had expected him to leave with the other executives. Instead, he pulled out another card from his pocket, stunning everyone.Why did Julian still have an elevator card? Could it be that he didn't give Macie the card? Or was it his backup card?There were many speculations.When Macie reached the lobby and exited the elevator, she planned to take the main entrance. But then she saw two familiar faces near there.Her expression immediately changed, and she quickly pressed the elevator button while using her bag to shield her side profile.It was that obsessive maniac again. It seemed that Edward had tracked her down here. She wondered if he had somehow traced her location through the police investigation.The elevator door opened, and

Clutching the strap of her bag, Macie belatedly realized a few things.Edward had already found out where she worked. She wondered if that meant that he also knew which company hired her.If that were the case, there was no way she could keep it from Julian and the others. With Edward's crazy personality, he would definitely cause a scene.Even though they were divorced and she had made it clear to him last night, he still wouldn't let go. Was he seriously planning to make her suffer for the rest of her life? Or did he expect her to accept her place while serving him and Sharon?As these thoughts raced through her mind, Macie clenched her teeth. Her face was flushed with anger.Was Edward really trying to push her to her breaking point? Was he deliberately making her life miserable here in Williamford?…Edward and Nathan stood on the first floor of the office building for over half an hour. Nathan's eyes were practically bulging out of his head from staring too hard. He fel
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 123
The realization that Macie had long planned to divorce and leave him hit Edward hard. His eyes reddened, and a wave of bitterness swept through him.He hadn't noticed a thing. Macie had seemed distant back then, but he'd brushed it off as jealousy over Sharon. It never even occurred to him that she had already given up on their marriage.She'd even brought up divorce back then and said it so calmly and coldly. Why hadn't he paid more attention?Edward thought that he might've saved his marriage if he had seen it coming. Now, all he felt was regret. The signs were clear as day, but he hadn't noticed or paid attention. He was too caught up in thinking he had feelings for Sharon.As the seconds ticked by, he still stood at the entrance of the office building. The night wind had turned cold. His whole body was stiff, and he could barely feel his legs."Mr. Fowler, here's the list of companies registered in this building. There are 23 in total, along with a few independent studios," Na
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 124
Edward thought that he could just wait around and get lucky, but he didn't realize Macie had more tricks up her sleeve than he expected.At that hour, there were barely any people around. It wasn't until after 7:00 am that the street slowly began to fill up.At that moment, a woman dressed in a black suit walked out at the subway entrance across the street. Her shoulder-length hair framed her face, and she wore sunglasses and a mask. Her purse was slung over her arm, and her posture was confident. She wore black high heels, and as she walked, she exuded an undeniable presence.It was Macie. She was almost completely disguised and did not show signs of panic or fear, even though she suspected that Edward had sent someone to watch this area.After returning home last night, she contacted Yosef and told him to rein in his grandson and stop letting him interfere with her life. Although he had agreed to her demand, she remained cautious. After all, she knew how shameless and unscr

Inside the car by the curb, Edward stared at the entrance of the commercial building. His left hand gripped the steering wheel tightly. Through clenched teeth, he asked, "Who reported it?""The person didn't leave a name, so I'm not sure," the security guard replied.Edward took a deep breath, then asked again, "Was it a man or a woman?""A woman," the guard answered."Is she young or old?" Edward pressed on."A young one," the guard said.Edward's eyes widened, and a thought immediately crossed his mind—it was Macie.He wondered when she had figured it out and when she had slipped inside the building under his nose. After all, he had been watching everyone who passed by."Can you give me her phone number?" Edward asked the security guard.The guard hesitated at the request and said, "Sorry, sir. But I can't share that information. It was just a mix-up today and didn't cause any real problems. We didn't mean to inconvenience you."He paused, then added, "I'm sure you understa
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 126
Julian took out his phone to check his messages. Macie had asked for the company's security number earlier but never said why. He still hadn't heard back from her. She had arrived early that morning, more than an hour ahead of schedule, just to avoid running into him. Sighing quietly, he shook his head.…Macie couldn't focus entirely on her tasks as she worked that morning. She kept thinking of ways to avoid Edward and make her way upstairs. She wasn't ready to talk to Julian yet. She'd only just joined the company, and the last thing she wanted was to let her personal life become office gossip.Macie was already feeling irritated, and things got worse when her team didn't cooperate, causing the project to stall. So she called a quick meeting to set things straight. "I know some of you aren't happy with me being the team leader, thinking that I don't deserve it because I've only just joined the company. But I'm only the interim team lead, and right now, I only want to finish th
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 127
Edward was shaken. Macie's cold words echoed in his ears, and he mumbled back in disbelief, "No… That's not what I meant…"Macie snapped, "You've got some nerve saying that. Then again, I guess you've always been full of yourself. You only believe your own version of the story. Even if you killed me, you'd probably say that it was suicide.""I wouldn't have! I never wanted to hurt you!" he yelled. "If you're talking about the time I pushed you, fracturing your bones, I'm sorry. I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Moving forward, I won't ask you to cook or clean. You can just stay home and—""You actually think I want to go back to that hellhole?" she cut him off coldly.That hit him hard. Panic started to bubble up in Edward's chest. It seemed that she really had no intention of coming back."Are you still mad at me? Look. I swear that it won't happen again! I've already cleared out your room. Sharon's gone," he explained. "What happened that day… I didn't mean to hur

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?
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 194
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
