Chapter 201

It was well past office hours by the time the matter was settled. The human resource personnel came to apologize, but were scolded by their own supervisor afterward. Palmer smiled obsequiously as he walked Alice out, while the other employees either stayed for overtime or left for the day.Inside the elevator, Macie linked her arms with Alice and said, "Thanks for standing up for me today."Alice huffed. "I doubt anyone from your department will dare mess with you again. I bet they've all learned their lesson. But still, why didn't you have Julian fire them? They're such an eyesore.""That recording was my fault. I let my guard down and answered a personal call at work. Office gossip happens everywhere, and Julian did shut the group chat down right away, so it didn't really affect me," Macie explained.Then, she leaned her head against Alice's shoulder and continued, "As for the report… someone flagged that I marked 'single' on my resume. That was a careless mistake. I forgot to ch

"By the way, when you divorce Edward, be sure to take all his assets!" Alice huffed. "I know Xavier. I'll have him do his best to leave Edward with nothing."Macie hadn't had the chance to tell Alice about the lawyer yet. The truth was, Xavier had reached out to her earlier that afternoon, barely an hour after she'd officially hired Marlowe Law Group.Macie had no idea that the owner of the law firm actually knew Alice's brother. Not only that, but apparently Xavier had even called him to gossip about her case. Macie felt embarrassed when Alice relayed their conversation to her. However, she didn't think that it was that big of a deal. The divorce was happening, and they'd mostly talked about Edward since they were all in the same circle."I didn't ask for anything in the divorce," Macie said. "I'm walking away with nothing.""Are you serious? Why?" Alice questioned."Because I don't want it to get messy. If there's no money involved, the divorce proceedings will be smoother," M

"But Edward might end up buying Sunnyridge Heights. If he does, he'll know exactly where I live." Macie sighed. "So I've been thinking… maybe it's time I look for a new place. I could put this one on the market soon.""List it. If Edward really does buy this place, you can move in with me," Alice said. "Honestly, he's insane. As if buying your office building wasn't enough, now he wants to buy your home too? Why doesn't he just go ahead and buy the entire city?"Macie twirled some spaghetti and ate it quietly. She thought that Edward was indeed messed up. There was nothing he wouldn't do just to drag her back into his life and torment her all over again. She couldn't and wouldn't let that happen.Halfway through dinner, Alice was scrolling through her phone when a message popped up. It was from Sean. She then looked up from her phone and asked, "May, would it be alright if I packed up some leftovers later?""Leftovers? What for?" Macie asked."My older brother saw the pictures I p

Alice texted to ask when Sean would be done with his business gathering. Sean was about to reply when the glass door to the balcony creaked open. He instinctively looked up and locked eyes with Edward. The moment their gazes met, tension sparked in the air."Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Hart, but I'm not some soft, delicate beauty. If you'd like, I can summon a young lady for you so you can have a romantic evening together," Edward said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Sean straightened up and scoffed. "If anyone's here to flirt, it's you, Mr. Fowler. I must've accidentally stepped into your usual hunting ground. Don't worry. I'll get out of your way. So, don't go spreading any rumors about me."Edward stared at him and fired back, "Unlike you, I have a wife, Mr. Hart. I know how to be a faithful man."Sean arched his brow when he heard that. He wanted to throw a full-on insult so badly, but knew that this wasn't the time to start a fight. So, he simply smiled and said, "Right.

Chapter 205

Edward returned from the balcony but couldn't find Sean. So he made a beeline for the banquet hall's main entrance. However, there was no one outside. He asked the guards at the door if anyone had left recently, but they shook their heads in response. As such, he went back inside. He started weaving through the crowd, brushing past men and women alike, ignoring anyone who tried to engage him in conversation. After several tense minutes of scanning the ballroom, he finally spotted Sean, who was casually chatting with a group of businessmen. Edward clenched his fist and took a slow, deep breath to steady himself. He then grabbed a glass of champagne before seamlessly joining the group. Sean noticed him from the corner of his eye. He took a small sip of his drink while the other businessmen talked to Edward.One of the older men, Brian Larson, looked at both of them and said, "Mr. Hart and Mr. Fowler, both of you are exceptional young men, the best of the best in your family busi
