Chapter 161

Inside the private dining room, Macie looked around at her coworkers, who were laughing and chatting freely.She didn't find the noise overwhelming. On the contrary, it felt real—like she was finally grounded and connected to life again.She picked up her glass and took a small sip of wine. Her expression was relaxed and light, with a soft smile playing on her lips.During a trip to the restroom, she quietly settled the bill without telling anyone.When the group found out, everyone insisted on paying her back, trying to split the cost. Macie laughed and waved them off."We didn't invite you out just to have you treat us. We're supposed to split the bill," one coworker protested."I know. Next time, we'll split it. You're not only going to invite me out once, right?" Macie asked, smiling.Ultimately, no one could argue with her.Macie even helped arrange rides for the coworkers who had drunk a little too much, ensuring that everyone got home safely."Wow, Macie! Before tonight

"Alright. That's enough," Sean cut Macie off rudely. "I don't want to hear your excuses, and I don't have time to waste arguing with you."He glanced at her with cold detachment and said, "You're pretty enough, sure. But throwing yourself at me like this? It's pathetic. I'm not interested."Left standing there, Macie glared after him, her fists clenching in fury.What the hell did he just take her for? Some scammer faking a fall to get attention?And worse—he hadn't even bothered to ask. He just slapped a label on her and walked off. She thought wasting those good looks and charm on such a rude attitude was a shame.She watched as the door of a luxury car swung open and Sean climbed inside.Macie couldn't hold it in anymore. She shouted after him, "Hey! It's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming? Having confidence is great, but when you cross the line, it's just plain delusion!"Sean turned his head slightly and glanced back when he heard her voice. From the top of the

"Absolutely not. I got into such a bad fight with my family that I don't even want to go home!" Alice exclaimed."Stay at my place for now. The Fowler and Hart families are a strong match from a business alliance perspective, but…" Macie paused. She continued, "Edward only likes Sharon. You'll never get to join the Fowlers. Marrying into that family would mean a lifetime of misery."She had suffered for two years after marrying into the family and had almost lost her life. Alice, who would only agree to the marriage as a sacrifice, would only end up with a worse fate. She'd be trapped for life."Don't worry. I'd never walk into the fire myself," Alice said, patting her shoulder.Macie nodded. She was only worried that Alice would be forced into the marriage, though she didn't think that the Hart family was at the point of selling off their daughter yet."But how do you even know the name of that Z-list actress who's his mistress? I've only ever heard her last name—Emerson," Alic

Alice shook her head and grunted in response. Sean said, "I knew it. People in our circle wouldn't live here."Hearing that, Alice turned her head and narrowed her eyes. "What is that supposed to mean? Are you looking down on people? Let me tell you—Macie is amazing. She swept the First-Class Scholarship every year in college, obtained a state-level honor and the National Distinction Award, and even personally led a team in design competitions, placing in the top three every time."Hearing Alice go off, Sean replied, "That's not what I meant. Why are you being so defensive?""You totally were looking down on my friend. Just listen to your tone. It's so sharp and snide," Alice said, pouting."That's just how I speak," he said irritably. "I'm not looking down on your friend. She allowed you to crash at her place and is clearly impressive. It seems that she's way better than you."Alice clenched her fists. The siblings immediately launched into a full-on bickering session.When they

Silas smiled without saying anything. His gaze returned to the woman across from him. He never would have guessed that the newly hired employee was not only Julian's former classmate but also the wife of Fowler Group's CEO, Edward Fowler. It surprised him to realize who had been hiding in plain sight.When the rest of them found out that morning, they were completely stunned."Wait, hold on. Everyone…" The more Macie listened, the more confused she became."What network? And are you all here because of Julian?""No. They're here because you're Mrs. Fowler," Palmer explained.Macie instantly froze when she heard the mention of "Mrs. Fowler". She had deliberately kept her marriage under wraps and had even blurred Edward's name in yesterday's meeting. She didn't know how they had found out.She voiced her question, and Sebastian quickly responded, "Don't misunderstand. We didn't look into your private information illegally.""It's like this," Silas added, "Last night, Mr. Fowler po

Only Palmer had a little bit more insight into the situation than the others. He recalled Julian inviting him to lunch the day before. Thinking back to it, he thought it was unsurprising that Julian had hesitated when asked about the bruise on his face. As it turned out, it was Edward who had hit him.Palmer glanced at Macie again. He thought that she was indeed beautiful. She had stunning looks, a top-tier education, competence, and emotional intelligence. It was no wonder two CEOs were fighting over her.After lunch, Macie headed upstairs with the rest of the group. Being the most junior employee, she naturally stepped up to scan her card and call for the elevator. It was a polite gesture, but everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the elevator access card in her hand. Even Palmer looked surprised."Julian gave that to you?" he asked.Macie nodded.The group exchanged looks—wordless, but knowing. It was clear now that Julian was into Macie. The special treatment he had shown

"Even though you're divorced, Edward still went public with the marriage. He's made you a target, and I doubt he's going to stop there. If it really comes to that, I'll help you find a lawyer," Julian texted Macie.Macie glanced at the message and responded with a quick thank you. She could sense an impending storm brewing. She really did need to prepare for the worst. Edward had already made a move on Brightech Studios and still wouldn't let her go.She had originally wanted to protect the Fowler family's reputation and never meant to stir things up like this. But now, Edward had backed her into a corner.Thinking of Edward's power and influence, Macie clenched her fists, a flash of resolve in her eyes. She was determined to see it through no matter how challenging the fight was. Since she had left Edward, there was no going back.…That evening, at the end of the workday, a Ferrari was parked by the roadside outside the office building.In the driver's seat, Alice was touching

Macie didn't say anything. She looked over at Alice, who stood frozen in shock. She hadn't had the chance to come clean with the latter, and panic briefly surged through her."May, do you know Edward?" Alice finally asked."I'll explain later," Macie said, then tried to pull her arm away."Why not now? Is your relationship with me so shameful that you can't even speak about it?" Edward snapped, his voice tight with anger.Alice's eyes widened when she heard his words. She looked from Edward's furious expression to Macie's face, which was full of disgust and rejection. She didn't know what was going on and wondered if Macie and Edward knew each other that well.Edward's way of speaking to Macie implied that there was something between them, prompting Alice to wonder about the nature of their relationship."If you already know, why are you asking?" Macie shouted as she struggled against Edward's grip, glaring at him.Edward stared back, his grasp tightening around her as his eye

Macie tried to steady herself, quietly steadying her own nerves. She reminded herself to stay calm and not to panic. She convinced herself that it would be fine since Yosef was still there. She was sure that he wouldn't just sit back and do nothing."I don't care if the president himself shows up. This divorce is happening!" Macie said firmly and decisively."Alright. Then I'll see you in court," Edward replied.Macie turned her head away, refusing to meet his eyes. She continued trying to pull her hand free and motioned for Alice to help. The latter snapped out of her daze and yanked hard, lifting her foot to stomp on Edward's shoe."You're divorced. A decent ex-husband should act like he's dead!" she snapped. Edward dodged Alice's move while still trying to drag Macie away. Macie pulled out her phone with her free hand and warned, "Let go of me, or I'm calling the police. Do you want Mr. Fowler Senior to come bail you out again?"Edward froze, his jaw tight. "Don't call the po

Macie got into the passenger seat and pulled out a wet tissue to wipe her hands and wrist clean. Edward felt another stab in his chest as he watched this.The Ferrari sped off, and he ran after it for a few steps before getting into his own car to follow.Once Macie finished wiping her hands inside the car, Alice finally spoke. "Alright. Tell me everything.""I'm sorry," Macie apologized as she lowered her head."Why are you apologizing to me? I want to know how you and Edward got tangled up in this. When did you get married? Why didn't you ever tell me? You're not acting much like a friend right now," Alice said, going off."I'm apologizing for hiding it from you. I thought you'd be angry," Macie replied.Alice went quiet for a second. "Anger's not the main thing. I'm mostly just shocked—like, really shocked. I mean, I remember you telling me that you were an orphan. You shouldn't have had any ties to the Fowler family."Macie leaned back in her seat. Her eyes were blank as she
