"Is it simply because he sees potential in my comic, or is he trying to use the development rights as an excuse to get closer to me? Or maybe he just doesn't want too many people to know about what happened between us."Either way, I still think I should keep my distance from him, so I'd prefer not to sell the comic rights to him.""If you don't sell it to him, and no one else buys it, would you be disappointed?"I shook my head. "No.""Now I can offer you another option.""What is it?" I asked quickly."Let Hughes Group develop your comic rights. The company will give you a certain percentage of the share."Without thinking, I responded, "Deal."Julian's expression became unusually serious. "If the adaptation doesn't do well, the money you make could be less than what you would get from selling the rights."He was worried I might regret it.But I had already decided. "I'm willing to take that risk."Julian praised me sincerely, "That's what I admire about you, Lyn. You're a

"I'll go tomorrow, then," Sophia quickly said.Amber couldn't contain her excitement. "If there's any problem, just ask your brother. He'll definitely help you."Sophia's mood lightened considerably.Recently, the company's business had been declining sharply. She and the staff had tried many ways to solve the problem, but nothing worked. If left unchecked, the company might collapse soon. She didn't expect Amber to find a savior for her."Okay. Thank you, Mom!" Sophia replied happily.…After Julian finished his work, he walked up to me and asked, "Are you curious about the choice I made just now?"I was focused on drawing and only looked up when I heard Julian's voice. "She's your mother. No matter how unreasonable she has been, as long as that blood relation is there, you can't let it go that easily. "Besides, this time, she took the initiative to apologize and give you an out. You're seizing the opportunity to reconcile with her. So, I can understand your choice."Jul

Not knowing how to start, I stared at the laptop screen, lost in thought.Julian noticed that I hadn't begun drawing for a while. "Having trouble?"I turned to look at him. "Yeah, I just have a general idea. But when I try to actually start, my mind goes blank.""If you use your current account to draw about our fake relationship, Shayne will definitely sense something's off. But what if you use a different account?"A lightbulb went off in my mind. "Why didn't I think of that before?"With that, inspiration struck, and I immediately began sketching."Have you settled on a specific theme?" Julian asked from the side."Yes, I'm planning to draw a story about a contract marriage." A sly smile flashed across Julian's face briefly, but his tone remained casual. "You were with Shayne for so many years, and he didn't treat you well. I imagine most of your time with him was spent in doubt and pain. You probably never got to properly enjoy what love feels like."I nodded. "That's t

Julian had always been confident in his work.Whether it was major decisions like the company's future direction and when to implement transformations, or smaller details like how to push a project forward and what goals to achieve at each stage, he always had a clear plan in mind.But today, the strengths he prided himself on seemed to lose their effect.All he could do was wait for my answer passively. I thought for a long time before finally saying, "If you're really considering marrying me, then for the next few years, no matter how amazing the women around you might be, you can't let your heart waver. You have to choose me no matter what."I didn't want the man I was considering as my husband to get involved with other women along the way. "Can you accept that?""Of course, I can," he replied, more seriously than ever.I didn't say anything.Julian continued, "I've been single until now. I've met plenty of outstanding women, but I've never had feelings for any of them. An

Julian was reluctant to let go. "I just want to spend a bit more time with you.""I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere," I replied, amused."Julian, you need to earn money to support Willow and all the employees under you. If you get too caught up in romance and neglect the company, what will happen to them?"Hearing this, Julian finally let me go, albeit reluctantly. He returned to his desk but not before pulling me close for a deep kiss.After he left, I turned back to my laptop screen. Suddenly, the direction of the storyline became clear in my mind. I began sketching the outlines intently.When I finished, I turned my head and, to my surprise, found Julian secretly watching me.I got up and walked over to him. "Are you not in the mood to work right now?""I've already finished today's tasks." Perhaps because we had just confirmed our relationship, Julian felt even the small distance between us was unbearable.Grabbing my wrist, he pulled me into his arms. "So, what do y

At that point, without her parents to back her and without any real skills, she wouldn't be able to resist.She'd have no choice but to slink away from his house and take some low-paying job earning two or three thousand a month to scrape by.The more Alice thought about it, the angrier she became at how despicable he was."Your dad doesn't necessarily need to reject every collaboration outright. There's one project I've heard he wanted to propose to your father, the one in the northern part of the city," Julian stated.Alice shot Julian a wary look. "You're not getting back at me on purpose because I interrupted your moment with Aralyn earlier, are you?"Her father had clearly said not to accept any of them. And now Julian was suggesting otherwise?"If you don't trust me, then forget it." Julian didn't bother explaining further.Seeing that he was serious, Alice continued, "My dad said that project seems like the most legitimate one. If we had money, taking it on wouldn't be an

Previously, he even felt sorry for Alice.She had put aside her pride and gone out of her way to chase Julian. Yet, Julian remained unmoved.After discussing the project with Julian today, he realized his daughter couldn't handle a man like Julian. Alice raised her chin, brimming with pride. "Of course! Why else would I ignore so many others and insist on making her my best friend?"Danny sighed. "You've always had terrible judgment in picking friends. It's rare for you to get it right. And when you finally do, you meet someone influential."Alice let out an awkward laugh."My judgment has never been good, but Dad doesn't need to know that," Alice thought.At first, she had seen Aralyn as a rival in love.Alice narrowed her eyes.The people she made friends with were bad, and the people she disliked turned out to be surprisingly decent.Maybe from now on, she should only choose friends from the people she disliked.Danny patted Alice on the shoulder. "Cherish these friends.

"In the business world, this is the most basic skill. If you don't think further ahead, you might end up being harmed without even knowing how it happened," Julian said calmly.Alice could clearly sense that Julian was trying to teach her something. Not understanding it, she asked, "Why are you telling me this?"Julian didn't answer. He merely withdrew his gaze.Alice noticed Julian's disdain, which left her even more puzzled. Had she done something wrong?"You're planning to start a gaming company, right? Julian is teaching you how to handle things when you eventually have your own company," I said.Alice put on a fawning smile. "But running a company is so troublesome. I only recently realized I enjoy working for others more."She could live carefree every day while still earning so much money."Can I just keep working here forever?" she asked, looking completely innocent.Since I was also one of Julian's employees, I couldn't make that decision for him. I turned to Julian. "

"I believed it. Kelly even said that if Stephanie really wanted to break up with me, she'd move out of my place."Even though we weren't married and we were just dating, we were already living together. Kelly said if I used moving out as a threat, Stephanie would cave."The more Shayne listened, the more silent he became. How could Spencer be even dumber than he had been back then?But seeing his friend hurting, he didn't have the heart to rub salt in the wound.Shayne asked, "You didn't seriously believe what Kelly said, did you?""Yeah." Tears slid down Spencer's cheeks. "But before I even had the chance to threaten her, Stephanie had already packed up all her stuff and left me."That day I came home, full of confidence, thinking that as soon as I spoke up, she'd make up with me. But… I opened the door and saw that all the photos of us hanging on the wall had been taken down."The woman who used to wait for me at home with dinner ready was gone. Everything that belonged to her

"I didn't say anything before because I thought there was no point," Spencer said.Spencer wasn't stupid. If he couldn't even see through all of that, he had no business running a company. He just never took it seriously before.He figured Stephanie would just throw a small tantrum at most, and that would be it. He never thought it would lead to such serious consequences.He continued, "Did you really think I was that dumb? That I couldn't tell what you were doing?"Kelly stayed silent.Spencer couldn't be bothered to say anything more to her. He got in his car and drove away.He arrived at a bar, ordered a few bottles of liquor, and then called Shayne. "Are you free? Come find me. I'm in a bad mood."Shayne had just gotten home, planning to spend some time with his wife and kids. But hearing Spencer's tone, he immediately said, "Okay."He turned to Luna and said, "Spencer's looking for me. I'm heading out for a bit."Luna, exhausted from a full day of work, didn't feel like d

Kelly froze. "She's really willing to break up with you?"Spencer nodded. "She told me not to go looking for her anymore."As he spoke, it felt like needles were stabbing his heart.He had always been certain that Stephanie loved him. He had been so sure that she would never leave him.So, he had gotten arrogant, thinking no matter what he did, she would always forgive him.But he had forgotten that…Stephanie was human, too.She could get hurt, too.Spencer said, "She wasn't just throwing a tantrum. She thought it over carefully and decided she'd be better off without me."Seeing his pained expression, Kelly moved closer and pulled him into a hug."She really doesn't know how lucky she was," she said. "Meeting a guy as good as you and still letting you go? Isn't she scared someone else will swoop in and steal you away?"To Spencer, her words were like kicking him while he was down. "But I only like her. I don't want anyone else."Kelly knew that if she asked now, "What abo

Spencer asked, "Just because of one little argument?""In your eyes, maybe it was just a little argument," Stephanie said calmly. "But for me, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this relationship, I was the one who always gave more."No matter what Kelly did, the one who ended up hurt was always me. You only had to take her side and blame me to settle everything. So, to you, it was always just small stuff."She continued, "Nobody wants to spend their whole life being wronged like that. I don't either. So, after that day, I really thought it through…"How much love do I still have left for you? Is it enough to keep tolerating you and her? The answer was no. I even realized at that moment that I didn't love you anymore."Forget tolerating both of you. Even just dealing with one of you felt unbearable. Then, I thought, since it's gotten to this point… We might as well break up."When Stephanie said this, her eyes carried a relaxed smile. "I just haven't figured ou

Shannon shook her head. "That's why I really don't think much of Luna. If it weren't for our son liking her…"Patrick understood how Shannon felt. "Honestly, we did wrong by Luna before. Once she's willing to come back, we should make it up to her as much as we can."Shannon was unwilling, but seeing Patrick insist, she could only mumble, "Fine, we'll do what you say.""Okay."…Hannah noticed that over the past few days, Patrick and Shannon hadn't contacted her at all, and she immediately found it strange.In the past, the two elders were very close to her son, almost seeing him every day. What was going on now?After putting her son to sleep, Hannah took the initiative and called Shannon. "Mrs. Cunningham..."Shannon frowned and glanced at Patrick, speaking in a low voice, "It's a call from Hannah."Patrick's face darkened almost instantly, but he forced himself to hold it in. "Don't tell her we went to see Rowan, and don't let on that we know the truth. If she wants to fool

Rowan shook his head. "If it were really that simple, that would be nice."Patrick didn't understand why Rowan said that.Rowan continued, "Before Luna and I divorced, she had already guessed you were lying, so she made it very clear to Mason…"If I chose to come back and help you, she would divorce me. If I stayed with her, she would continue living the hard life with me."Patrick hadn't expected the truth to be like this. His face turned even uglier. Shannon was also in pain.Rowan tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling. "But in the end, I was too scared the company would fall apart, so I chose to go back. To completely cut ties with me, she went and started dating Shayne."At first, Luna still had hope for him. After all, they had truly loved each other for so long.But over time, through all the back-and-forth, she probably realized he was never going to change, so she finally gave up completely.Recently, the comics she created have been doing very well. Because of tha

Rowan said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."Patrick followed behind Rowan and asked, "Have you thought about what to do with Mason in the future?"Rowan didn't take the question seriously. "Why would I?""He's your only child. If you don't acknowledge him, you'll end our family line."Rowan didn't know why, but looking at the streetlights and the thinning crowd around him, he felt unusually calm. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"When they reached the restaurant, he handed the menu to his mother. "See what you want to eat."Shannon picked a light vegetarian dish and said, "We just didn't expect Hannah to lie to us!"Rowan crossed his legs and repeated her words. "You didn't expect Hannah to lie to you?"Patrick ordered two meat dishes before saying, "Exactly. Who would've thought she would dare lie about something like that?"Rowan stared at his father. "So, just because you said it, even if you had doubts, you really thought I cheated on her with Luna…"Shouldn't you ha

Willow stared at me in shock for a long time before finally asking, "You can really do that?"I nodded. "Yeah. As long as you want to, you can keep in touch with her as much as you want."Willow jumped up excitedly. "That's awesome!"Just then, there was an urgent matter at the company that needed Julian's attention. After taking the call, he happened to overhear my conversation with Willow.He immediately got an idea. "During summer break, if you want to hang out with Pamela every day, she might not have that much free time."Willow's smile disappeared instantly. She asked, "Then, what should I do?"He guided her, "Do you think there's an excuse that could make both of you improve and leave her mom no reason to say no?"She followed his lead and quickly figured it out. "Studying?"He didn't give it away directly. "Oh?""Daddy, how about you hire a tutor for me during summer break? I can get a head start on school! Then, I'll ask Pamela to join me. Her mom will definitely agre

Alice raised her voice and asked, "You two already broke up, and he's still coming around asking you to apologize?"Stephanie shrugged. "What else could it be? You don't think I'd made all that up just now, do you?"Alice had never thought that, but Spencer's behavior still struck her as outrageous. "Do you need me to help you?""No, it's fine." Stephanie had already moved on, so she needed to handle it herself. "I can deal with it."With that, she walked out of the hotel.Spencer saw her come out and quickly stepped in front of her. "Can we talk?"He expected Stephanie would agree, but she gave him a glance and asked, "What do we have to talk about?""I know you're upset because of her, but can you be the bigger person? If you just apologize to her, a lot of things can be smoothed over."She looked at him, confused. "Why should I be the bigger person?""Because you're my girlfriend!" He tried to persuade her.Hearing that, Stephanie couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It look
