I would rather use this time to relax than listen to annoying people say things that made me sick. Stunned, Shayne stood there, staring at the phone for a long time.Zach had said Aralyn was kind. And Shayne had naturally assumed that because of her kind-hearted nature, she wouldn't want to see him sad and that she would ultimately forgive him.But then he realized that was not the case. "What do I need to do for you to forgive me?""Nothing. We are over," I answered bluntly.After hanging up the phone, I lay down on the bed and pouted.I had blocked his number, and yet he still managed to contact me. How persistent.Unfortunately, his effort was misguided.Instead of thinking about this, I should now be thinking more about whether I should bring something when I go back to see Mom tomorrow and how to explain things to her so she wouldn't be angry. I placed my arm over my eyes.In Mom's eyes, I should never have gotten a divorce. But I didn't listen to her.She would surel

Julian was practically at Willow's beck and call. Even if he was swamped with work, he would still make time. "Yes," he replied."Then can you come to the event with me and Mommy?""Of course," Julian answered warmly.…When Zach got up in the morning, he only remembered the event next week. He had to do a recitation with Willow.But now, Shayne was ignoring him, and Charlotte was focusing all her attention on Luna.When the time came, all his classmates would have their parents with them, except for him.Zach didn't want to be the only one left alone.After getting up, he saw that Lewis had already prepared breakfast.He took a bite. It wasn't as tasty as what Aralyn made, but he was still content. At least he had food to eat and wouldn't go hungry.Holding the plate, Zach finished every last bite of his meal. "We have a parent-child event next week. Can you two come?"Both Noah and Lewis knew Zach's situation and felt sorry for him, but they also had concerns."If we go,

Zach reluctantly decided to pretend that Aralyn had come to see him off.…I didn't bring anything for my mom because she was getting older, and I wasn't sure if she'd like what I picked. After thinking it over, I simply transferred her ten thousand dollars.Mom, confused, sent me a question mark.A small smile crept onto my face as I raised my hand to knock on the door."Who is it?" Mom asked, her voice lively.She opened the door and saw me standing there. "You finally decided to come back, huh?"She stepped aside to let me in."Yes," I replied as I walked into the living room.Julian followed behind me and sat down next to me.Mom looked at Julian with curiosity but chose not to say anything upon noticing my calm expression. She had more pressing concerns and took hold of my hand."Last time you came, you said you wanted to divorce Shayne. I've been busy and haven't had time to check in on you. How are things between you two now?"I knew she didn't want me to get a divor

"Sure!" Zach said, realizing he hadn't been to Maisy's place in a long time."What would you like to eat? Grandma will make it for you," Maisy said smilingly.Zach wasn't picky anymore. As long as someone cooked for him and he didn't go hungry, he was happy."I'll love anything you make, Grandma."Maisy's heart melted at Zach's words. "Then Grandma will make your favorite dishes."Zach replied excitedly, "Okay!"…At the office, I sat down and replayed Mom's words in my mind.I felt so thankful that I didn't listen to her back then and instead resolved to go through with the divorce.Otherwise, even if Shayne had promised me he'd settled down, he'd still be with Luna secretly and eventually even force me to coexist with her peacefully.If it had come to that, I would've been immensely miserable.The corners of my lips lifted unconsciously.After leaving Shayne, I found a great job, earning lots of money every month. I had a daughter who loved and cared about me.And I also

"Alright." Mark had no objections. After all, if the comics sold well and the print volume increased, not only would they recoup costs easily, but they would also make a substantial profit."And I have a really important question," said Julian. "Have you considered that if Lyn's comics really become a global hit, what the sales of merchandise would be like?"Mark was taken aback. He only knew it would be a lot, but he hadn't calculated the exact numbers.Julian didn't expect an exact figure from him and simply continued, "Right now, we only have one factory producing merchandise. Even with limited promotional efforts, it's already nearing the factory's production capacity."So, what happens when Lyn's work becomes a nationwide sensation? Will the factory's production keep up with the demand?"Mark shook his head. "No, it won't.""And that's without even considering a global breakout," Julian pointed out. Mark finally realized the severity of the situation. "So, what do you th

Mark almost burst out laughing. "First of all, while the company doesn't promote the comic as much as Aralyn's, we're not too shabby with it either. They should meet your needs."He noticed Avery's eagerness to explain and raised a hand to signal her to stay calm. "Secondly, if the comic you're managing is really as amazing as you claim and can bring significant profits to the company, the company will naturally increase its promotional efforts later. You can rest assured about that."Avery was still dissatisfied.Mark continued, "Let me put it this way—when Aralyn's comic first started, the company didn't pay much attention to it either. She was the one who posted short storylines every day, gradually building up her readership."Avery, think about it carefully. Even the woman Mr. Hughes favors received this treatment. And you expect your author to receive a better promotion than her? Do you think that's realistic?" Mark looked at Avery's increasingly unpleasant expression, re

"When she sees her boyfriend being intimate with someone else, she'll definitely question Julian. No matter how much Julian loves her, he won't be able to tolerate a shrew always confronting him hysterically."Luna revealed a triumphant smile. "Over time, their relationship will surely fall apart. I'll use this opportunity to take advantage and swoop in. So what if Julian is aloof and doesn't like to interact with people? In the end, he'll still fall for me easily."Avery smiled widely. "Why hasn't that day come yet? I can't wait any longer."…After ending her conversation with Luna, Avery turned on her computer. She created accounts on various platforms and began uploading Luna's work.Mark said he needed to see the results of Luna's comic, right? Once the comic was posted, it wouldn't take long before it attracted a large number of readers.She would then bring the concrete data to Mark and show him how good her judgment was and how poor his was for promoting Aralyn's utterly

Although I didn't know who left the comment, I could sense that the person was deliberately steering the narrative. They were trying to make readers think I was at fault in this marriage.However, they used mutual affection as an excuse. Did Luna's actions not count as interfering in someone else's marriage? Did Shayne and Luna being together not qualify as infidelity?I didn't refute her. I replied calmly, "So, what you're saying is that once you're married if your husband gets involved with another woman, they'll have done nothing wrong as long as it's true love? That it's still right even if the man betrayed his marriage, and the woman hurt the man's wife with her selfish behavior?""Obviously," the other person replied in an instant.Upon reading this, I couldn't help but laugh derisively. I typed on my phone at a leisurely pace and replied, "By your logic, what's the point of marriage? Isn't marriage meant to bind two people together, ensuring mutual loyalty?""But don't you

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

"However, you need to let me finish. Being handsome is important, but it's not the most important thing. You and I both know that."Joseph was still very upset. "Yeah?"Alice continued, "A man's career is also very important. The reason she chose someone else now is probably because your career isn't successful enough. If you became the CEO of a publicly listed company right now and approached her, she'll think she hit the jackpot!"Joseph sneered and replied, "I get it now. When I return, I will do everything I can to build my career. Once I've succeeded, I will find her and tell her about the great man she missed out on!"Alice awkwardly looked away. If he went to find Avery, she would be confused because she never liked him in the first place. However, Alice dared not say that. She merely smiled and said, "Then work hard!"Joseph was still feeling miserable.Alice thought that in this state, Joseph was particularly suited to working for her and helping her make money. "Constan

However, Joseph saw Avery open the door. She then wrapped her arms around the man's neck, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.Joseph felt like he had been struck by lightning. Didn't Avery like him? Why was she so affectionate with another man? Could it be that she was stringing him along?Joseph quickly turned around in a panic, took the elevator down, and left the building.…The man heard the noise and turned around. He looked at Joseph's retreating figure and asked, "Do you know him?"Avery shook her head and replied, "No."The man smiled and said, "Then he must have gone to the wrong floor. Avery, I miss you so much."Avery pulled the man into her room forcefully. She then slammed the door shut behind them.…Joseph ran out of the neighborhood. However, his face felt a little cold. He was crying.He had been abandoned by his family, and his friends weren't generous with him. He once thought there were still people who loved him, but the only person who secretly liked

Alice knew she could help. She knew her friends were inexperienced, so when they started their businesses, they were full of passion. However, they suddenly realized they didn't know what kind of projects to do once they had secured the venue, hired the people, and wanted to start the project.Alice thought that starting with them would be a good option. Sure enough, after sending out her message, she received responses full of complaints about how hard entrepreneurship was, how they were completely in the dark, and had no idea what projects to pursue or how to find business partners.She actively messaged them, carefully confirming their needs, and then passed the information on to Joseph one by one. Once Joseph received the information, he found that a large portion of it perfectly matched his friends' projects. Even if his friends were not working on related projects, he would find other people who could work with them.The both of them were very happy once they ensured that ev
