Chapter 191

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

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

"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

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

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?

Lucille hadn't even finished her venomous remark when Macie grabbed a stack of documents and slammed them down onto the table, her voice cold and firm. "Watch your mouth! How dare you slander the heiress of the Hart family! If you don't know who the Harts are, go look them up."Keep running that mouth, and you'll be hearing from our lawyer. Don't think you'll still have a job in this industry when we're done."The moment Macie mentioned "the Hart family", the entire office fell silent. All eyes turned to the elegant woman before them who sat like a Persian cat. It was no wonder that she was that wealthy. She was the prized daughter of the Hart family.Now, Lucille was in deep trouble. Everyone had tried to de-escalate the situation earlier. After all, Alice was just visiting Macie, and it was almost time to get off work. She wasn't causing any disruption. The papers were scattered on the floor across them. Lucille had originally intended to storm over and slap Macie across the f

Lucille glared at Alice and bit her lip, but she said nothing."Are you targeting me or my friend? She just started working here, and you all are already ganging up on her, huh? I can tell exactly what kind of person you are." Alice sneered. "But hey, I'm not unreasonable. You want to settle this? Fine. I'll find out exactly who's been bullying my friend, and once I do, they'd better start packing because they'll be out of Williamford before they'd even know it."Alice sat back in her chair. She crossed her legs and folded her arms. That declaration sent a wave of panic through a few employees, especially the ones who had previously crossed Macie. Delilah, who had reported her before, looked like she was about to faint."Why'd you have to run your mouth, Lucille? Apologize to Macie right now!" Daisy hissed under her breath as she walked over.Macie glanced at her. Wasn't this the same woman who accused her of faking her resume?"That's right, Lucille. Hurry up and apologize. It'

Chapter 198

Macie's face flushed red in an instant. She tugged gently at Alice's sleeve and whispered, "Please stop saying stuff like that…"Knowing full well that her friend was easily embarrassed, Alice didn't push further. Instead, she pulled out her phone and made a call. Two seconds in, the person on the other end picked up, and she put it on speaker. "Ms. Hart, are you calling to invite me to dinner?" The room collectively gasped when they heard the man's voice. It was their CEO. Moreover, his tone was so casual that it seemed like they were simply old friends catching up.Suddenly, everyone realized how Alice had been able to enter the company. It was because she knew Julian. Employees couldn't bring their friends into the company, but the CEO could. At that moment, they realized that Lucille had definitely picked the wrong fight this time.After hearing that, Alice scoffed. "You wish. There's no way that's happening.""Alright then. What's the occasion?" Julian asked, sounding a li

Chapter 199

Julian's tone turned cold the moment he heard what Alice said. He asked, "What's going on? Lucille, did you really insult Ms. Hart?" It was no wonder that Alice had been furious enough to call him. Lucille had truly crossed the line."I'm so sorry, Mr. Atkins! I didn't mean to!" Lucille hurriedly explained. "I-I just lost my temper and said things I shouldn't have…""That definitely wasn't the case. I think you clearly meant it." Alice scoffed. "You were so arrogant earlier. You even looked like you were about to charge at May."Julian's anger boiled over when he learned that Lucille was going to hit Macie. "Do you not want to work here anymore, Lucille?"Lucille panicked and blurted out, "That's not true! I wasn't going to hit Macie. I'm so sorry, Mr. Atkins. I'm so, so sorry, Ms. Hart!" Her voice trembled with fear and desperation as she said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have picked a fight, shouldn't have gotten involved, and definitely shouldn't have disrespected Macie or ins

"I knew about the recording and the report. The private employee group has been disbanded, and Macie said she'd handle the report herself." Julian's voice came through over the phone."Don't tell me that the person responsible is still working here," Alice said, narrowing her eyes.Macie was about to speak up when Daisy, who was standing next to Lucille, stepped forward and apologized."I'm sorry, Macie. I was the one who sent the anonymous report about your résumé. I know that you must've already figured it out, but you never called me out, and I really appreciate that."Like Lucille, I acted out of jealousy. Please forgive me just this once!"At the time, she had no idea about Macie's background. She just assumed that Macie was someone with connections. Jealousy aside, she just wanted to pick on the newcomer. Not that she'd ever admit all that now.With the current situation blowing up because of Lucille, Daisy figured that it was better to confess on her own terms than be drag
