《Who's the One Regretting Now?》全部章節：第 151 章 - 第 160 章

Macie pressed her lips together. Most of her coworkers didn't know much about her background, and thanks to the rumors about her and Julian, coupled with the fact that a newcomer like her had been made an interim team lead, the jealousy burned deeper."I understand what you're saying, Mr. Stellan. I'll head over to HR first. I'll clear things up myself during the full department meeting tomorrow," Macie said.Palmer nodded and watched Macie leave. He thought about the rumors he'd heard—that Julian intended for her to take over his position eventually.Given her capabilities, Palmer thought Macie wouldn't have a problem being a team lead. As for the director role, it was obvious that Julian's personal feelings for her played a part.Still, Julian didn't even try to hide his true feelings at work. He openly took Macie out for meals, left the office with her after work, and even gave her an extra access card to the private elevator. How could she not end up being everyone's target?L

"Macie doesn't want to see you. If you show up at her company and cause a scene, you'll just embarrass yourself even more."And honestly, I think this is a good thing!" Nathan yelled.Edward whipped around, glaring at him in fury."A good thing? What the hell kind of bullshit are you talking about? I swear to god, I'm going to—""It's good because if Macie gets fired over the complaint, she'll leave Mr. Atkins' company. Then, you can bring her over to work at Fowler Group. Isn't that what you want?" Nathan cut in quickly.Edward's anger faltered, the fight draining from his body as he slowly stopped struggling.Nathan let go, catching his breath before he continued talking. "That's why you can't go charging in there yourself. You should quietly spread the news at Brightech Studios that Macie's already married. If you show up in person, you'll just paint a target on yourself."Edward clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he thought it through."And honestly, you've got no ri

The moment Macie heard the words "Fowler Group", her eyes widened. She asked, "Fowler Group? Aren't they mainly in traditional goods? Why would they target the gaming industry?""Who knows? They're probably just trying to get a foot in the door," Palmer said."A big family-run business like theirs, if they want to enter a new field, they can just buy out a smaller company. Money's no issue for them."Palmer's comment was casual, just explaining how big corporations operated. But Macie took it to heart.During their fight last Friday, Edward threatened Julian, saying he would buy out his company.And now, despite having no prior interest in the gaming industry, Fowler Group had swooped in and stolen Zona Group's partnership.It didn't take much for Macie to connect the dots. She was certain that this was because of her.She clenched her fists. If she was the reason Brightech Studios was being targeted, if she ended up bringing down Julian's company..."Macie?" Palmer's voice sna

Everyone had thought the presentation was over, but Macie flipped to one more slide.When they saw the image, the whole room froze for a moment. Was that a divorce agreement?They couldn't believe it and wondered if it was really necessary for a self-introduction. It seemed that Macie was really opening up to them.Macie began speaking calmly. "Last week, I stayed late at work until 10:00 pm. While I was on the phone, my conversation was recorded. I'm sure some of you have heard it by now."People suddenly looked uneasy around the room, the tension hanging heavy in the air. It felt like getting caught gossiping right in front of the person you were gossiping about."And over the past few days, someone anonymously reported to the HR department that I lied about my marital status on my résumé. I'd like to clarify that it wasn't a lie. It was a poor choice of wording."At that, the entire room went still.First of all, Macie's personal life was none of their business. Second, it wa

Edward gritted his teeth, the veins on the back of his hand bulging from how hard he clenched his fists. His chest ached with bitterness and pain. It felt so tight that it felt like he could barely breathe.Across the room, Nathan saw the look on Edward's face and knew there was nothing more he could say to comfort him. All he could think about was how the tables had turned.Back then, it was Edward who had refused to acknowledge Macie publicly. No one even knew he was married.And now? Now, he was desperate for the world to know. He was furious that Macie had blurred out his name and he was seething with jealousy over Julian.Nathan quietly stepped back and slipped out of the office. After closing the door behind him, he sighed and shook his head.Inside, the room fell silent.Edward sat alone, still seething. His emotions churned so violently that he almost couldn't hold himself back. Part of him wanted to storm over to Brightech Studios and confront Macie immediately.The mor
