"Edward, are you okay? How's May?" Sharon asked worriedly, standing outside the bathroom as she watched Edward slam the door, soaking wet."I'm fine. I'm going to change," Edward said angrily.Sharon pretended to reach for the bathroom door. Edward grabbed her hand, glaring at the glass door furiously, and said, "Don't go in. That crazy woman will spray water at you. I swear that she belongs in a mental hospital."I'm sure May didn't mean to do it. Don't be angry with her…" Sharon played the role of the mediator. But all her words did was fuel Edward's anger.On the other side of the bathroom door, Macie could hear their conversation. She sat on the floor, hugging her knees and clenching her fists. She bit her lip as hatred simmered on the inside.She thought that Edward was detestable and Sharon was equally disgusting. They were the perfect match, made for each other. Both were scumbags who deserved each other through and through!Macie regretted interfering two years ago. She s

At the hospital, the doctor, Gregory Chase, took one look at Macie's injuries and began berating her for not taking care of herself. The blisters on her feet had all ruptured. It could be dangerous if they were to get infected.Macie kept her head low, keeping her silence as she stared at her painfully red and battered feet.It wasn't that she didn't take care of herself.It was just that some people refused to leave her alone.Gregory did more checks and found that her lower back and tailbone were severely bruised. There were injuries on her arms as well, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Throughout the entire examination, she did not say a single word, nor was there anyone accompanying her.The doctor could guess what had happened. "You need an X-ray of your lower back. Let's get you hospitalized. You shouldn't go home for a few days.""Thank you, Dr. Chase," Macie replied hoarsely.One of the nurses helped her handle the hospitalization procedure. Macie couldn't lie on h

Edward slammed the door shut with a loud bang and turned back to the kitchen. The food he had brought back now looked like a joke. In a fit of anger, he threw everything into the trash.Then, he took out his phone and called Macie. The busy tone beeped for a long time, yet no one answered. Just as he was about to lose his temper again, he remembered that Macie's phone was broken.He didn't call again. His expression remained cold as he returned to his bedroom to shower and go to bed.Macie could go wherever she liked. It had nothing to do with her.…At 2:00 am, Edward woke up to an agonizing pain in his stomach. Irritated, he snapped, "Macie, where's the…"The door across from his was ajar—still in the same position as when he had slammed it shut earlier. Edward clenched his fists and went to find himself some antacid.The burgers from dinner had been too much for his sensitive stomach, so he hadn't eaten much. On top of that, he had drunk some alcohol, and now it was all catch

"What's wrong, Ed?" Sharon sat up and hugged him around the waist from behind.Edward pushed her hands off and said hoarsely, "Sorry, I overstepped just now. Get some rest."With that, he hurriedly got out of bed and fled the scene."Ed! Ed!" she called out hurriedly and followed him. But when she opened the door, the hallway was already empty.She bit her lower lip, nails digging into the doorframe as her eyes filled with resentment.…In the parking lot, Edward got into his car, his expression dazed and unfocused. He was still shaken by what had happened earlier. He buried his head in his hands, full of regret.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the newly bought phone lying on the passenger seat. His gaze flickered away almost guiltily.…Meanwhile, Sharon closed the door and went to the bathroom. In the mirror, she saw the hickeys on her neck. She smiled deviously as she snapped a photo and sent it out.…It was already 11:00 pm when Edward got home. He entered the elev

"Keep looking. I refuse to believe that she could just vanish into thin air!" Edward gritted out.Nathan had really tried everything. He had even called Macie multiple times, but she wouldn't answer.Just as he was about to lose all hope, he called one last time—and this time, Macie picked up."Mrs. Fowler! Where are you?" Nathan asked excitedly."What do you need from me?" Macie returned his question with her own, her tone indifferent."Mr. Fowler—" Nathan blurted out but stopped himself just in time. He quickly came up with an excuse. "Mr. Fowler asked me for a document, but I couldn't find it, so I wanted to check with you. But you weren't around, and we need the document urgently…"Macie was exasperated. Edward had lost something and couldn't find it, yet he was now making his assistant ask her."Tell him to look for it himself," Macie said coldly."Mrs. Fowler, Mr. Fowler has been in meetings all day long. He's busy," Nathan said. He was clever. He made his voice sound urg

The doctor arrived after the nurse drove Edward out of the room. Macie only bit her bottom lip. Her tears were overflowing from the intense pain.The ward fell silent once again, except for the sound of her sobs. The other patients looked at her with sympathy for this unfortunate woman."Domestic violence is against the law. I'm calling the police right now." The nurse, unable to stand it any longer, took out her phone.Edward snapped back to his senses and immediately snatched the phone away."I didn't do it! Domestic violence? What are you talking about? If you keep making things up, I'll make sure you lose your job!" he threatened."The patient has a fractured coccyx. Were you not the one who did this?" The nurse looked at him questioningly.A fractured coccyx...Edward froze again and looked at the injured area.The first time, he had thrown her to the ground. The second time, he had pushed her down hard.Could it be…Seeing that he had fallen silent, the nurse picked u

"You were the one who was about to stab her with a kitchen knife! I saw it with my own eyes!" Edward argued."Oh? Then did she actually get hurt?" Macie shot back.Edward was instantly at a loss for words.Sharon's so-called "injury" wasn't even as bad as a scratch from a fingernail. She didn't even need a band-aid."You say I'm making things up, but it seems to me that you're the real expert at twisting the truth." Macie sneered when he remained silent. "And as for your question about whether I went home last night… What's the matter? Were you so eager for me to catch you in bed with that woman?"You sure are self-righteous for someone who's cheating while still married."Edward's back stiffened instantly at those words. He then retorted forcefully, "I didn't!""Oh? Then what left that hickey on your neck?" Macie mocked.Edward's hand flew to his neck. He then quickly pulled out his phone to check his reflection. Lifting his collar, he saw a hickey on the side of his neck."L

Nathan didn't understand why Edward was so upset. After giving it some thought, he realized it was because…"She could have told me directly! Why did she have to tell you instead?!" Edward roared.Why go through his assistant? Would it kill her to call or text him?Nathan stared blankly ahead, his silence speaking volumes. He wondered if the method of communication really mattered that much and if it was worth Edward flying into a rage.He didn't get it.Why was Edward so desperate to find her if he didn't love Macie? But if he did love her, why would he sleep with another woman and hurt her so deeply?Meanwhile, Macie declined the concerns of her fellow patients in the ward. She just wanted to be left alone.What she had told Nathan was the truth. Out of respect for Yosef, she wouldn't expose Edward and Sharon's affair.Besides, she would be gone in just 25 days. As long as the couple didn't provoke her again, they could do whatever they wanted.…Edward was completely out o

Nathan deduced that Edward cared about Macie a lot. Yet, he couldn't understand why Edward was fooling around with another woman, to the point of bringing his mistress back to his home.Nathan ordered the meals for Macie. However, he was savvy enough to tell her that the order was placed by the Fowler family and not Edward.He worried that Macie might just flush the food down the toilet if she knew who it was really from.At the hospital, Macie ate those meals. She figured that it was most likely Yosef's idea since they were from the Fowler family.However, Macie furrowed her brows. She wondered if Edward had told Yosef that she had been admitted to the hospital.Strangely, she did not receive any new messages from Yosef. Macie did not send him any messages either since she would probably have to share details about her injuries.Macie spent her days leisurely. During the day, she watched tutorial videos or worked on her sketches. She had enough practice to ensure that she could

Hence, Sharon instructed Rebecca to move Macie's things out of the room. Although she did not get to stay in the master bedroom, Sharon found it satisfying to have kicked Macie out of her own room.Edward furrowed his brows as he watched them move Macie's belongings. He entered the room and noticed Rebecca trying to pry open a drawer. He went over to help.Men were physically stronger. After a few tries, Edward managed to yank the drawer open with his brute force. Even the metal parts of the lock were bent out of shape.Only a notebook with a light blue cover was placed in the drawer.Edward picked up the notebook and flipped to the first page. He instantly realized what the notebook was."Only those with secrets would write diaries," Edward snickered. He was about to flip to the next page when a hand reached over from above his head and snatched the notebook away."You shouldn't be reading a woman's diary. I'll help May keep it somewhere safe."Edward pursed his lips. He stared

"How's the soup? Is it good?" Sharon looked at Edward expectantly.She had the soup ordered and delivered from a restaurant. So, she was confident that he would be satisfied with the taste."It's delicious. You have excellent cooking skills," Edward remarked after having a sip.Truthfully, he found the soup to be quite oily and salty. It tasted like something a regular restaurant would make.Edward much preferred Macie's cooking, which tasted lighter on the palate. Her dishes were different from the food that was prepared outside."You should have some more if it's to your taste. I can make it for you every day," Sharon said chirpily.When Edward heard Sharon's offer to make soup every day, he quickly said, "I'll help bring over your personal documents tomorrow. You can stay in one of the hotels owned by Fowler Group. No paparazzi would dare follow you there."Sharon bit her lip hard. Yet, she was smiling again two seconds later. "Alright. Thank you, Edward."The two of them co

Even though the news articles were quickly taken down, Yosef had learned of what had happened. He called from the Fowler residence early in the morning and yelled at Edward furiously.Edward was on his way to work. He quietly listened and did not talk back while Yosef scolded him harshly."Macie is such a nice woman. Do you not feel guilty toward her at all? Do you not appreciate all the sacrifices she's made in the past two years?" Yosef felt so frustrated with his grandson.Edward pursed his lips."Sacrifices? Just because she's prepared our meals? She used the washing machine to wash our clothes and the robotic vacuum cleaner to clean the floor. I was the one who had to look after her during the past two years. What's more, she's utterly ungrateful. She even slapped me yesterday," he thought."If you really can't appreciate her efforts… I hope you won't regret this someday. There's only two weeks left—" Yosef continued.Edward cut him off since his patience was running out. "I

Edward helped Sharon regain her footing. Just then, one of the straps of her top slid off her shoulder.From his angle, Edward could see Sharon's deep cleavage. The red marks he had left on that part of her skin last night were still visible. Yet, the top that Sharon was wearing… belonged to Macie.At that moment, Edward felt as though he was caught cheating right before Macie's eyes. His palms grew numb, and he instantly turned his face away."Edward, can you hold onto my left arm? I want to wash my face." Sharon looked up at him.Edward helped wring out a wet towel and passed it to Sharon. After wiping her face, Sharon tried to support herself by holding onto the sink."I'm done now. Thanks. You can go…"Before she could finish her sentence, Sharon was about to fall again, but Edward was prepared this time. He grabbed her by the waist and caught her effortlessly."You shouldn't push yourself. You need to be mindful of your foot injury," Edward said.Sharon gripped his arms an

Macie bit her lip as she remembered about the diary. She blamed herself for not tearing it to bits or setting it on flames beforehand. However, she figured that Sharon probably would not be able to find it since the diary was locked inside a drawer.She eventually calmed down. When she was about to turn off her phone, a notification window for a news article popped up on the screen. The title read, "The Fowler Family's Next Successor Rushes Onto the Stage for a Model During a Fashion Show."Macie stared at the screen for a brief moment.The Fowler family's next successor… She figured that the media could only be referring to Edward with that title.Her gaze fell on the word "model" next. When she came to her senses, she noticed that she had tapped on the link for the news article.A photo was displayed above the article. Edward was carrying a woman in his arms. That person buried her face in his chest. Macie recognized that it was Sharon just by looking at her side profile.Her f

"What should I do, then? I left my personal documents in my luggage. I won't be able to stay at other hotels…" Sharon sounded lost and helpless."You can stay at my place," Edward suggested.Sharon paused for a split second. She lowered her head and replied meekly, "That's not a good idea. I don't want to see you and May argue because of me again.""She has no right to decide that. That's my apartment. I decide who gets to stay in my own home," Edward said monotonously.Her cheeks were still wet with tears as she tried to politely decline his offer. However, he ignored her refusal and took her back to his residential area.They got into the elevator and went to the floor where Edward's place was. Sharon followed behind him. With her finger, she wiped off the foundation applied to her neck to reveal her hickey.The door was opened. Sharon thought she would immediately see Macie, but the place looked quite empty. She briefly scanned the living room and softly asked, "Is May already

"You can contact my assistant and let him know if you suffer any losses for tonight's show," Edward said.The director's eyes instantly lit up. He liked speaking to someone like Edward, who was generous and straightforward. He smiled slightly."We won't suffer huge losses because of a minor incident like that. Besides, we should have considered the possibility of accidents like this happening too. Ms. Emerson can join our fashion shows again once her injury is healed. I'll always have a place for her."Edward rose to his feet. He gave the director Nathan's business card nonetheless. Then, he helped Sharon get up from the chair.When he noticed Sharon limping and swaying slightly, Edward picked her up in his arms again. Sharon looped her arms around Edward's neck and leaned against his shoulder, looking rather shy.Meanwhile, the reporters had gathered outside the exit a while ago. They managed to take photos of the pair as soon as they emerged from the building.Sharon seemed fri

In the hospital ward, Macie had a slight frown on her forehead. She did not think much of Edward's final remark. As she switched to another app on her phone, Macie noticed that Edward had transferred some money to her account.The transferred sum was 30,000 dollars, and he left a remark stating that it was money for her surgery.Macie transferred the money back to him at once. Even if she did not return it now, Edward would probably ask for the money back when they proceeded with the divorce later on.Sitting in the first row, Edward noticed that Macie had sent the money back to him. He sent her a message asking about it and received a reply."I won't need surgery, so I don't need the money."Edward responded. "You're staying at the hospital for a few days, right? Use the money for the hospital fees."Macie typed another response."The hospital fees won't cost that much. I can afford it."After sending the message, Macie turned off her phone and tossed it aside.Meanwhile, Edw
