Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 561 - Bab 570

Edward quickly gestured to the receptionist, who immediately understood and gave a small nod before returning to her station.It turned out that the man was Edward's guest. But why hadn't she received any prior notice?Moreover, the man had arrived alone. He didn't have a driver or assistant with him. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and looked absolutely menacing. The receptionist doubted that he was really there for a business meeting. Wasn't he there to cause trouble?She muttered to herself in doubt. The guy was good-looking, but she thought that he seemed way too aggressive. Just looking at him was intimidating.She had only been half-joking to herself when she wondered if he was here to pick a fight. But then, she actually saw it happen. The moment Edward and the man came face-to-face, the man threw a punch. It wasn't a joke anymore.In the lobby, Edward didn't even have time to speak. The first thing that greeted him was Elias' fist. He twisted to the side to dodge. His tempe

"Mr. Hale, please! Go easy on him! Mr. Fowler didn't know you two were family!" Nathan pleaded.Elias let go and stood up, his expression as cold as ice.Edward, with Nathan's help, managed to sit up. Feeling the pain from Elias' punch to his face, he grimaced. But he knew that he was partially at fault, especially after hearing the truth just now."I'm sorry. I apologize for what I said," Edward muttered.He struggled to get to his feet, still reeling from the fact that Elias was Sharon's biological brother. The revelation had completely blindsided him.Elias said nothing but didn't throw another punch either.Nathan dismissed the security team and turned to Elias. He politely said, "It was all a misunderstanding, Mr. Hale. Please, let's go upstairs. Let's sit down and talk."Elias followed. He wanted to see the surveillance footage. Even though he was glad to have found his sister, something about her stirred a mix of emotions.The elevator ride was silent. Soon, they reached

Edward was already fuming inside. He wondered if Hank thought that his life was too easy and was seeking some chaos to liven it up.Edward hadn't even gone looking for trouble, yet Hank had the nerve to bring it straight to his doorstep.Still, priorities were priorities. At that moment, Edward was focused on clearing up Elias' misunderstanding and ensuring he saw Sharon for who she really was.As for Hank, Edward would deal with him later.Edward once again had Nathan send him away. Nathan, sensing his anger, made the call to deliver the message.Meanwhile, at the entrance to the assistant's office, the assistant said politely to Hank, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson. Mr. Fowler is currently tied up. Please come back later."Hank glanced toward the CEO's office down the hall and asked, "Where's Mr. Fowler now? Maybe I can wait.""He's in his office. Mr. Levy is there too. Mr. Fowler didn't mention when he'd be free. If you're busy, you can leave the documents here and I'll pass them along,"

Hearing himself being judged from a moral high ground, as if he were despicable, cowardly, and weak, Edward couldn't hold it in anymore and roared, "What the hell do you know? Who are you to say that about me?"Does anyone know what I've been through? My father had an affair, drove my mother to her death, and had a son with his mistress, who is just a year younger than me!"How do I walk away and just leave it all behind? My mother's death hasn't even been avenged. You want me to sit by and watch that scumbag of a father take over Fowler Group with his mistress and illegitimate son?"Who could have accepted that? Could you?"Edward shouted until his face and neck turned red. He glared at Elias and ground out the words through clenched teeth. He continued, "You're an only child with a faithful father. Of course you've never felt this kind of threat."But that doesn't mean you get to crucify me. I was barely out of college, standing at a crossroads between power and love. What was

On the other end of the line, Yosef's furious yelling immediately died down when he heard Elias' voice. He hadn't expected Elias to be standing right next to Edward.Edward, too, was stunned. He was stunned that Elias not only knew Yosef but spoke about him with such familiarity.He inwardly cursed. Neither of them had mentioned this to him.He thought they were total strangers, but it turned out he was the only one left in the dark while the other two had some close relationship behind his back. He was the only fool here."There are some old ties between Mr. Fowler and me. It's a private matter between the younger generation. I'm sorry for disturbing you," Elias said again, his tone polite and sincere. It was completely different from the grim, ruthless man from just moments ago.Edward scoffed at Elias' duplicitous act. Then he heard Yosef say, "Edward must've been the one to provoke you first. Don't take it to heart, Elias. I failed to discipline him properly. I'll make sure to
