Shayne got up, tidied himself, and skipped breakfast before driving to block the entrance of Julian's underground garage.When Julian's car was blocked, he got out of the car and knocked on Shayne's car window.Shayne rolled down the window. "I need to talk to Aralyn."Julian smiled faintly and asked, "Didn't you two already finish whatever you needed to talk about?""This is between her and me! Have her come over!" Shayne's tone was firm.Julian didn't comply but stood still, watching Shayne impassively.Noticing he hadn't returned for a while, I got out of the car and walked over. "What's going on?"Shayne looked at me with a face full of grievance. "I want to talk to you, but he won't let me."I felt a headache coming on. "Shayne, are you serious?""On account of the fact that we were once married and that you truly loved me once, give me another chance. Can we have a moment alone?"I didn't answer."Just give me ten minutes," Shayne said again.I didn't respond directly

"If we're purely comparing material aspects, Julian treats me better. And he respects me more. He has no so-called 'first love' that he's hung up on, and he won't drag me into messy emotional entanglements.""What if he's like me and has a first love too? Maybe the person he loves just hasn't returned to the country yet," Shayne retorted. That had nothing to do with me.But I couldn't say that out loud, so I was struggling to come up with a response."Can you guarantee that when the person he truly loves comes back, he'll handle things better than I did?""Well, here's the question." Julian sat down beside me." Mr. Pearce, I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask you—who exactly is this person I supposedly truly love?"I was glad that he followed me. Otherwise, if Shayne kept spewing nonsense unchecked, his pursuit of me would undoubtedly become even more difficult.Shayne was stunned by the question.Julian's voice turned icy. "I can understand the pain of losing someone

Hearing the familiar voice, I turned toward the source of the sound.Charlotte was standing outside the fence, glaring at me viciously. "You really have no shame, do you? You'll stoop to anything."Faced with her baseless accusations, I found it amusing. She hated me, so no matter what I did, it always rubbed her the wrong way.That, I could understand."Say whatever you want to say, as much as you like. After all, when you're done shouting and have drawn everyone's attention, I'll just expose everything your son has done. When your son's company's stock plummets, your days won't be any better either," I stated cheerfully."Is this the only way you know how to threaten people?" Charlotte snapped angrily."Well, it does work, does it not?" I rebuked expressionlessly.Charlotte fell silent.I had no intention of dealing with her further and turned to leave.Seeing this, Charlotte said hurriedly, "Come out here for a moment. I have something to say to you."This family was truly

Seeing the curiosity and excitement on my face, Julian couldn't help but smile slightly. "You can check your phone and look at your account balance."I did as Julian said.My balance had increased by over 200 thousand."It was originally over 300 thousand, but we needed to deduct the taxes, so the amount credited to your account is just over 200 thousand. As for social insurance and housing fund contributions, the company handles those for you, do you don't need to worry about it."Finding it hard to believe, I looked at him and exclaimed, "That's a lot! This is the first time I've earned so much money through my own ability. I didn't think it'd feel this good to have my own money."I don't have to worry about others coming up with all sorts of reasons to take it away. And I don't need to justify every penny I spend. If I want to save it, I save it. If I want to spend it, I spend it. This is my freedom."I even felt a bit regretful. Had I taken this step earlier, it would've been

But I couldn't be bothered to listen anymore. "Stop!"Luna continued, "Starting today, I'll pursue him actively. Let's write off everything between us."Between us lay the life of a child. It was impossible to just write that off.I was surprised that she could say something so naive.Letting out a sneer, I replied, "When you successfully took my place, I saw with my own eyes how you treated Zach. If you really ended up with Julian, do you think Willow's life would be any better?"It absolutely would not.She would bully Willow the same way she bullied Zach.Willow was just starting to get better. If Luna targeted her, it would certainly worsen things."I won't allow you to be with Julian," I stated coldly."You're not his mom. What right do you have to interfere in my business with him?""You must've heard how Julian introduced me at the banquet last time. Luna, I'm his girlfriend."Luna froze. She had assumed I was just Julian's date.After a long moment, she asked, "Wh

"I know you love me." Shayne didn't quite understand why he could feel Luna's love for him easily. But when it came to Aralyn's love and kindness, he only realized it after losing her.It turned out that the ease he had taken for granted was entirely due to Aralyn's silent and selfless support.A trace of sadness flickered in Shayne's eyes. "A few days ago, I wanted so badly to reconcile with Aralyn. So, when you offered to help, I impulsively agreed. "But today, I suddenly think it's not right. If I have to rely on another woman to pursue my ex-wife, wouldn't that make me seem completely useless?"Pretending to not like what she was hearing, Luna said, "I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that!""Alright. I won't," Shayne replied with a smile. Only then was Luna satisfied. "That's better. Since you've made up your mind, I'll stay at home, take care of myself, and focus on the baby."Of course, she was just saying that.There was no way she'd truly listen to Shayn

After finishing the report, the person nervously waited for Julian to berate him.But to his surprise, Julian calmly pointed out the issues and explained how to fix them.The person went back to his seat in a daze.When did Julian become so easygoing? Could this be the power of love?The others received the same treatment during their reports. All of them exchanged glances, and from each other's eyes, they knew everyone was thinking of the same thing—they hoped Julian and his girlfriend stayed together forever.After the meeting, the group left in unspoken agreement.Julian looked at Mark, who was about to leave. "Mark, stay behind."Mark wasn't sure what Julian wanted but couldn't help asking curiously, "So, Aralyn gave you a gift?"Julian couldn't hide his pride. "Yeah, but she's just pretending to be my girlfriend. She hasn't actually agreed to date me."Mark raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Hughes, it means she's interested in you. Think about it. Why would she pretend to be your g

That would total over six million.At my current earning rate, it would only take a year or two to save up that amount. But instead of saving money, paying for health insurance would be more cost-effective. If I paid for 20 to 30 years, there were no further payments after that.And medical expenses would be reimbursed significantly.I smiled as I thought of this.It seemed I needed to find a time to go back and discuss the health insurance issue with Mom.Previously, because Mom didn't agree with my divorce, I dared not go back.But the divorce had been finalized, and I had already moved on from the shadows of it. Whether or not Mom scolded me, I should still meet her.She raised me, after all. I couldn't possibly ignore her for the rest of my life.After resolving Mom's pension and healthcare issues, I also needed to consider my own retirement.If I planned for 50 years for myself as well, I would need to save over ten million.The more I thought about it, the more excited

Luna took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't act rashly, or she would really lose.Luna lowered her head, raising her hand to caress her stomach. She was determined to keep this child.After much hesitation, she decided to call Charlotte. When Charlotte answered, Luna sobbed, "Mom, I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy, but my emotions have been really unstable lately."Charlotte, who had been treating Luna like a treasure recently, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?""Shayne has been getting close to Aralyn every day. When I see them together, I can't help but think if they get back together, what about me and the baby? What will I do then?""That's impossible! As long as I'm here, those two will never get back together!" Charlotte immediately assured her.Luna knew that Charlotte would always be on her side no matter what. "But just a verbal promise doesn't give me a sense of security.""What do you want me to do, then?" Charlotte asked in confusion.Without hesit

Shayne's phone rang, and he found the ringtone irritating. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw that it was Luna. He felt a little displeased but still answered the call. "Hello?"Luna was a bit nervous. She knew this was something she had to face. But when it came time to actually talk to Shayne about it, she couldn't help feeling anxious. "Do you remember what we talked about last night?"Shayne struggled to think for a long time before finally recalling what Luna had said to him. "Yes."Luna felt that his attitude was a bit indifferent, but for the sake of her future happiness, she decided to go all in."Can you tell me what you really think? Shayne, I don't want my child to be born into an unstable environment. At the very least, he can't end up like Zach, who you abandoned so easily."Shayne's headache worsened. He could understand Luna's concerns, especially with Zach as a precedent.Thinking back now, he had to admit that he had indeed been irresponsible toward Zach.He had

Despite the compliment, Julian remained humble, though he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. "Really?""Yeah."It was at this moment that I suddenly understood that Shayne and Zach refusing to eat the food I made had little to do with my cooking skills. The real reason was that they hated me, so they also hated the food I made.Just like now, I had a good impression of Julian, so when he was willing to cook for me, I found his food especially delicious.Julian looked at me, finding the way I ate was graceful and refined.He shook his head, silently reminding himself to look at me less.He was already hopelessly in love with me. If he kept watching, he would lose himself in me completely.…When Shayne woke up, his head was pounding—an aftereffect of his hangover. Without opening his eyes, he asked impatiently, "Aralyn, why didn't you make me hangover soup last night? And my head hurts so much right now. Massage my temples later."However, no one answered him.

Julian chuckled. "Not eating breakfast until now is bad for your health.""I don't think I've been working for that long," I said as I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 10:10 am. I instantly felt a bit baffled.Julian's lips curved into a subtle smile. "For the sake of your health, you should eat some breakfast. I made scrambled eggs and some sides. Come downstairs and eat before you continue working.""Alright," I agreed immediately.I knew that skipping breakfast was bad for my health. Besides, as an adult, I should set a good example for the younger ones.Otherwise, if they saw me skipping breakfast, they might not want to eat either. That would be a problem.I walked downstairs alongside Julian."People used to call me a workaholic, saying my mind was always occupied with work. But you seem even more deserving of that title than I am." Julian sighed.I joked, "If I hadn't met you, I probably would never have found a boss as good as you. So, of course, I have to s

"How much is the internship salary for each employee? If they exceed their task requirements, how much of a commission do they get? You have to figure all of this out yourself. Once you have thought through these questions, your company will be ready for official operation," Danny concluded.Alice nodded, somewhat understanding. "Thank you, Dad.""You're welcome." Danny looked at Alice, feeling that the girl he and his wife had always cherished and protected seemed to have finally grown up.The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "If you run into problems you can't solve, you can always come to me. I will definitely help you.""You're the best, Dad!" Alice remarked playfully."Of course. You're my only daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?" Danny said proudly.After chatting with Danny a bit, Alice returned to her room. She took out her phone and sent a message to Joseph."I've written a lot of stuff. How about we meet tomorrow to go over eve

"If they're truly talented, they wouldn't need to take over the company. They might as well go find a job elsewhere. After all, it's more promising than working for us. The only people you can hire are those unqualified yet overconfident ones," Joseph remarked, smiling.Lucas sighed. "Why did you come back? Need something?"Did he suddenly realize how tough it was outside and decide to return home for an easier life?Joseph took out a notebook and said, "Of course! I want to start a company. We already have a project. But we don't know how to manage it, so we wanted to ask you first."As Lucas stared at Joseph, he realized that Joseph had really improved after being away from the family.Before, when he tried to get Joseph to join his company, Joseph always said he wasn't interested.But now, he wanted to start his own business.Lucas sat down and shared all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years.Joseph didn't bother filtering what was good or bad; he just wrote every

"Otherwise, at the slightest disturbance, we'd start worrying about what we'll do in the future if their company goes bankrupt.""That's true." Joseph imagined himself running a major company and becoming number one in the industry, surrounded by people treating him like a star.He couldn't help but smile. "Alright! We'll do as you say!""Then go home and ask your dad how to manage a company. Remember to take detailed notes so you don't forget the most crucial and important points. I'll ask my dad as well. Don't worry. I'll write everything down."We'll have a discussion afterward. For the parts that are the same, we'll follow them. For the differences, we'll combine the best of both," uttered Alice.Joseph responded excitedly, "Alright."He had been troubled emotionally, thinking he shouldn't waver for another woman just because of what Alice said.But now, his mind was entirely focused on business.He believed that once he succeeded, women would naturally come to him and purs

But when he saw the high prices, he suddenly felt like it wasn't worth it. A regular apartment only cost a few thousand dollars a month. One night in a hotel cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was enough to rent a place for a whole year and even hire a housekeeper to clean up the place.In the end, Joseph booked a hotel for 200 dollars. After checking in, he realized that while it wasn't as luxurious as the expensive ones, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was still inhabitable.…Alice had finally found such a good way to earn money, so she wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. Even though she was already very frugal with her spending, and her salary and bonuses from the company were quite high, she had to admit that making a lot of money on her own still made her feel really happy.As she lay under the covers, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to expand her and Joseph's business. She also thought of how to make more people aware of them.However, A

So, Avery choosing another man was the reason he was so upset. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks. However, he remembered that Avery had never actually said she loved him. It was Alice who said it.It was because he saw Avery trying to please him that he naturally assumed Alice was right—that Avery had a crush on him.Joseph had a vague sense of unease. He turned around and went back to Alice's house. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell. "Hello?"Upon hearing this, Alice walked to the gate with a yawn. "What is it?"Joseph stared at Alice as he asked, "I wanted to ask… Avery has never loved me, right?"Alice was stumped by his question. How did he figure it out?She looked away, feeling a little guilty.Joseph's voice rose. "So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning? Why did you do it? Was it for revenge?"Since she had been exposed, Alice had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yeah, why else? You suddenly found a woman to date and called her my substitute. Y
