"You only took one look? What if Macie and Alice leave again later? How can you guarantee that they won't get up to anything?" Edward tried to come up with an excuse.He continued over the phone, "So, tell me where you are. That way, I can—"However, Sean cut him off, saying, "Mr. Fowler, if you're worried, I can have someone stake out the place."Edward ground his teeth. It was clear that Sean had made up his mind not to reveal the address to Macie's home.Edward was about to offer something else or a business deal in exchange. But before he could speak, Sean interrupted again, saying, "If there's nothing else to say, I'll hang up now. As for the arranged marriage, let's call it off.""That was my dad's decision. I've never agreed to it anyway," Edward replied.Sean let out a derisive laugh and said harshly, "If you didn't agree to it, why didn't you just tell us? What's the point of posting a picture of the marriage certificate on your social media account? Are you trying to dr

"Mr. Fowler, you're really a failure at this whole being-a-decent-human thing. You said you weren't divorced. Yet, you don't know where she lives?" Sean clicked his tongue and continued, "If word got out, you'd be a laughingstock."Edward's hands curled into fists. He wanted nothing more than to punch Sean in the face. However, the call ended before he could even get the chance to curse him out."Goddamn it, Sean! I won't forget this," he growled through clenched teeth before hurling his phone again. "You and your sister are both worthless pieces of shit."After shouting, Edward tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stared into the pitch-black night. He had no idea how long it took for him to calm down before he drove off.He consoled himself with the thought that at least Macie hadn't gone to the strip club with Alice or hired a bunch of male strippers. She was at home.That was the only thing he could be thankful for.…At the entrance to Sunnyridge Heights, the black B

"I've got nothing to hide," Sean said flatly. "If you're set on blaming me anyway, then there's nothing more to say." He stayed calm when he saw Edward losing his temper.His tone stayed sharp as he continued, "As a stranger, why would I give out someone's private info? Even if you sued me, the court would take my side.""Sure, you don't know her, but you know me. Can't you just be on my side for once? Why are you making this harder than it has to be?" Edward shot back."I'm not here to pick sides but to do what's right," Sean replied."You…" Edward was seething. Every time he saw Sean putting on that holier-than-thou act, he fought the urge to punch the latter.He thought that Sean was such a pretentious asshole. Sean would act like a saint while walking around with a halo, spreading love and justice.The staff members were watching the scene in confusion. They wondered if Sean really knew Edward's wife. He denied it, but Edward was clearly hunting him down for answers abo

"Really? You're reluctant to invite me, yet you still booked the restaurant? Mr. Fowler, you really talk out of both sides of your mouth. Fine. I'll go and spare you the embarrassment," Sean said.He flashed a smile at the furious Edward and walked out.The manager from Fowler Group, Eric Coleman, muttered quietly, "How is that okay? Mr. Hart is way too chill."Edward immediately clenched his fists. He glared at Sean's retreating figure, and his expression darkened. Sean's words hit him like a punch to the gut.Eric dragged Edward along. He kept throwing Edward every desperate look, basically begging the latter to keep it together.Then, they quickly caught up with Sean.Sean was in a great mood. He looked at them and teased, "Mr. Fowler's giving me a death glare. I hope you're not planning to poison my food."Eric let out an awkward laugh. "You're funny, Mr. Hart. Of course not. Don't worry."He smiled and smoothed things over."If it doesn't kill you, I hope it leaves you sp

The kitchen at Macie's home was warm, and the air was thick with the scent of freshly cooked food.Alice couldn't resist sneaking a taste and took a bite of the grilled ribs. As she chewed, she gave a thumbs up. "Holy crap, May! Your cooking is insane. You should honestly open a restaurant."Macie smiled and said, "You're too kind. It's just some home-cooked dishes.""It's just so unfair. It's my first time tasting your cooking, but that jerk Edward had two years of it. This makes me sad," Alice complained.She grabbed another piece and continued, "How about I marry you instead? I'm serious. Don't marry anyone else, or I'll get jealous."Macie's smile faded a little when she heard that. Edward had once said that her meals tasted like cardboard. On the other hand, Alice made her feel like a five-star chef."If you enjoy it that much, I'll cook for you more often," Macie said.Alice nodded eagerly. A thought formed in her mind—perhaps she should just move in with her for good. She

Alice texted Edward, "Where are you?"Edward shared his location.When she saw the name of the residential complex where he was, a chill shot down her spine.It turned out that this stalker was outside the entrance. She wondered if he had followed them there earlier. At that thought, she determined that it was because she'd let her guard down.Alice stole another glance across from her, only to lock eyes with Macie."What's wrong?" Macie asked when she noticed the sudden change in her friend's expression."It's nothing," Alice responded, smiling. "It's just my brother being annoying again."Macie nodded. Casually, Alice asked, "Is the security in this residential complex good? Strangers can't just walk in, right?"Macie thought that Alice's brother was overprotective, so she answered, "It's pretty tight. Security's on duty 24/7. No outsiders can get through unless a resident personally led them in."Alice was relieved to hear that. She figured that Edward was probably stuck at

"Sean wants to check in with the security guards to make sure everything's safe," Alice said.Macie quickly slipped off her gloves, grabbed her phone, and searched for the number. Alice took one quick look, memorized the number, then bolted back to her room and securely locked the door.The guard picked up the phone almost immediately. Alice hurriedly said, "There's a man outside the entrance trying to get in. His name is Edward Fowler. You need to stop him now!"He's dangerous and violent. If he gets to Macie Smith, the resident here, he could hurt her. And if that happens, your whole team will be held accountable."Inside the security booth, the guard on the phone glanced outside and shouted, "Is someone named Edward Fowler trying to get in? Stop him! He's a threat to a resident!"The guard at the entrance checked the visitor's log. As expected, it was the same suspicious man from earlier. It turned out that their instinct was right. The guard immediately alerted his compa

Alice went to the kitchen and told Macie that her brother had shown up. Then, she hurried downstairs. Macie didn't think anything of it.Outside the residential complex, Alice met the guards and police. She helped them to confirm Edward's identity. She also showed them her phone. Then, she explained that Edward had tricked his way inside and that she hadn't realized what he was doing at the time.Edward was ultimately arrested. He shot a vicious glare at Alice, who turned against him. He thought that the Hart brother and sister were a pair of damn troublemakers.Alice stared right back without a hint of fear. Edward was in a mess—his hair was disheveled, and his shirt was wrinkled. There wasn't a trace of that polished CEO image left."Well, well, well," Alice said sneeringly. "Mr. Fowler, breaking into someone's home and lying your way in? I can't wait to see what that does to your reputation."When they heard her address Edward as "Mr. Fowler", the police and security guards

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

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
