《Who's the One Regretting Now?》全部章節：第 271 章 - 第 280 章

"My stance has always been clear," Yosef said sternly over the phone. "I can't allow a woman with ulterior motives like Sharon to marry into our family. As for the agreement, it was just a practical arrangement. "I chose May because she was hardworking, ambitious, and pure-hearted. It would've been great if love blossomed between you two in those two years. If not, you were free to go your separate ways and marry whoever you want."After hearing that, Edward asked gruffly, "What about me? Did you ever think about what I want? What exactly do you take me for?"Yosef pressed his lips together and was quiet for a few seconds before responding, "I did it for you. Sharon isn't a good person. I didn't want you to be tricked or dragged down by her."Since you don't like May, you can treat this two-year marriage as if it never happened. I didn't expect you to develop feelings for her, though."He hadn't expected Edward to actually fall for Macie, all while hurting her beyond repair. The

Macie had told Alice not to dwell on Xavier's reasons for approaching her, and yet here she was doing the same thing, losing herself in her own spiraling thoughts. Naturally, it wasn't that her feelings had been rekindled. It was just that she shouldn't have let herself even entertain the idea that Edward had feelings for her.A man who had been in another woman's bed just a month ago was now standing before her, crying about how much he loved her—she thought it was disgusting. Macie was furious as she felt like nothing more than a pawn Edward was using for his own amusement.After talking to Nolan, it was soon lunchtime. Macie grabbed her things and headed downstairs to eat. In the elevator, she bumped into a few senior executives. She greeted them politely and immediately noticed that they were looking at her oddly. Before she could ask what was going on, one of them let out a heavy sigh and said, "You've been through so much, Macie. Brightech Studios wouldn't be where it is toda

Xavier's casual tone made Edward even more upset. His voice turned cold as he threatened, "I don't need your legal assistance, but you might want to start preparing your own defense before your law firm goes under."Xavier chuckled, unfazed. "Thanks for the concern, Mr. Fowler, but I don't think that day will come.""Oh, I think it will. Right after you lose this case," Edward shot back.Xavier arched his brow, easily catching the threat hidden between Edward's words. He realized that Edward really knew how to hold a grudge. "First, he sends his lawyers to threaten me, now he's personally getting involved," he thought."Well, if it happens, it happens. After I win this case, I'll have enough money to start a new law firm," he responded nonchalantly. "Oh, and let me thank you in advance for your generous donation, Mr. Fowler."After a couple of heated exchanges, Edward was practically seething. Who the hell did Xavier think he was, talking to him like that? Did he really think he c

Sean was about to say something, but he froze after realizing what Charlie had said. "Wait… love?" he repeated, stunned."Yeah!" Charlie beamed. "The more effort you put into it, the better! But with your looks and charm, Mr. Hart, you don't even need gifts to guarantee a successful date. The presents are just a bonus to make her fall even harder for you."After hearing that, Sean's brows twitched. Charlie had clearly gotten the wrong idea. Sean wasn't going on a date. He was just apologizing for his misstep."I'm not going on a date," he explained.Charlie froze, puzzled. Then, who was the perfume for? He had assumed that it was for Alice. But if that were the case, he wondered why Sean wouldn't just give it to Alice directly.Charlie hesitated before asking, "So… should I still order the flowers?"Sean pursed his lips together, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. "No. I'll just give her the perfume." Yellow roses were still roses, after all. He was concerned that Macie m

When Macie heard that Julian was looking for her, she didn't think much of it and headed toward the entrance of the design department. But the second she stepped out, she spotted a man she would've much rather avoided.Sean stood with his arms crossed, eyebrow cocked, looking like he was practically dying to cause trouble.Macie instinctively slowed her steps.It turned out that Sean had come looking for her. She wondered if Sean was seriously not intending to let this go, and if coffee somehow tasted better just because she served it."Mr. Hart. Mr. Atkins," Macie greeted them, her smile polite and professional as she walked up to them."Mr. Hart is looking for you," Julian said.Macie turned her gaze fully onto Sean, still smiling. "It's quite an honor having you drop by, Mr. Hart," she said lightly."No need for formalities," Sean replied. "Some welcome this is. I had to hunt you down myself."However, Macie thought—it wasn't even her who'd asked him to come in the first pla
