Time ticked by, and both parties had already gone through most of the details. There were only a few points left to wrap up.This was the perfect opportunity Sean had planned for Alice. He had deliberately asked a question of his own subordinate. His subordinates had been briefed ahead of time, so no one answered. They waited for Alice to speak up. Yet, a few seconds passed, and she didn't make a single sound. None of them dared to turn their heads, so they tried sneaking a look out of the corner of their eyes. The moment they did, they all fell silent. Alice was slumped over the table, sound asleep.Sean was perplexed when he didn't hear her response. Because he was sitting in the front, his view was obstructed, so he leaned forward slightly. This morning, Alice had vowed to impress Elias and make him see her in a new light. Yet, she was fast asleep like a dead log at that moment. Sean was speechless at that sight. He couldn't wake her up just to get her to answer his questi

Alice was so embarrassed that she avoided Elias for a couple of days. She only showed up at the hospital on the fourth day to see Macie. When she ran into Elias, they exchanged their usual polite greetings."Have you decided to give up on him already?" Macie inquired.While snacking on a bag of chips, Alice nodded. "Yeah, pretty much. I think this is harder than learning advanced math. In any case, quitters never fail.""Give it time. You haven't known each other long enough for anything real to form yet," Macie said. Alice wasn't convinced. If that worked, all those women who used to hover around Elias would've succeeded long ago.While they were chatting, Mitch walked in to discuss Macie's rehab plan. As he was about to leave, Alice handed him three or four bags of chips. Mitch accepted them and thanked her. They were meant for him; she had no intention of asking him to pass them on to Elias. She was just sharing because he happened to be there. If she wanted Elias to have th

On the other end of the line, Mitch wanted to clarify to Adrian that he wasn't one of Edward's men. Yet, he couldn't get a single word in.Bennett's voice was so loud that it sounded like he was shouting directly into his ear with a megaphone. Mitch had no choice but to hold his phone away from his ear.Bennett went off for several minutes, unleashing every curse and insult he could think of. When he was out of breath and paused to take a break, Mitch seized the opportunity to say, "Adrian Fowler, you had better stay away from people you shouldn't mess with, and don't get any ideas. Next time, it won't end with just three failed partnerships. Everbright Corporation will go belly up overnight!"Right after saying that, Mitch hung up on Adrian and handed his phone to the bodyguard, instructing him to reject any calls from the latter. He shook his head, thinking about the middle-aged man who had just gone off at him like a madman. He figured that it must have been Bennett Fowler, Edwar

Yosef received the audio recording at the Fowler residence. Edward had not added a single word of explanation. Yosef played it and listened to the whole thing, and by the end, his face was already twisted with anger. Bennett had done both Edward and his mother wrong, yet, after two decades, he was still this biased and spiteful toward him. Without the slightest hesitation, Yosef called Bennett and tore into him the moment the call connected. He cursed him out, saying he didn't deserve to be a father, that he was nothing but scum, and demanding how he could insult his own son like that.…When Yosef finally stopped, Bennett gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and argued, "Dad, you say I don’t treat my two sons fairly, but do you treat your two grandsons fairly? Adrian is also your grandson! How can you just watch Edward crush him like this? You were the one who personally called him back, too!"I know you've always favored Edward; you even skipped over me and made him your s

Macie had already begun her rehabilitation at Eastlake General Hospital. Thanks to the medication imported from overseas, she was recovering at lightning speed. Even the scar-treatment patches were top-of-the-line, designed to erase every trace in the end.Edmund and Mira had bought an apartment in Williamford and set up all the rooms because they weren't sure if Macie wanted to live abroad with them. If she didn't, they would stay in the country. Elias would handle the overseas operations, while Edmund would manage all domestic operations.The apartment was mostly ready, yet the wardrobe was still empty. The middle-aged couple wanted to buy everything new for Macie, yet they had no idea what size her clothes were. Hence, they decided to hire someone to come over, take her measurements, and tailor everything to her specifications.When Alice learned about it, she immediately piped up. "I know May's sizes. There's no need to bring someone over." She also offered to help pick out Maci
