A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 366
Shayne was here to seek justice for Luna, so he naturally had no intention of hiding it. "Luna," he answered without hesitation.Julian didn't have the time to keep track of what happened online, but he could more or less guess what was happening. It was probably about Luna stirring up trouble for Aralyn online.However, it failed. Since Luna wasn't willing to accept her failure, she got Shayne to stand up for her. Julian crossed his long legs. There was an obvious sneer on his handsome face.Shayne took a deep breath. "Mr. Hughes, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to take out my anger on the innocent, so please hand the phone to Aralyn.""She's my girlfriend," Julian replied, always quick to defend Aralyn. "Mr. Pearce, I've heard a bit about the feud between the two of them today."Shayne saw that Julian wasn't cooperating, so he asked, "So, you want to protect her?"Julian sneered. "Obviously. She wasn't in the wrong from the start. Wouldn't it make me

"What? Do you think she's easy to bully because no one's protecting her?""No," Shayne quickly responded."That better be the case," Julian replied disdainfully.With that, he immediately hung up.…Hearing Julian's voice, I slowly walked out of the cubicle and stopped in front of him. "Was that Shayne on the phone just now?"Julian didn't intend to hide that from me. "Yeah. After Luna failed to get you in trouble and got criticized, she probably felt upset and called him to complain. He believed her."As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. "He wanted to stand up for her."I asked disdainfully, "Are both of them out of their minds?""Yeah," replied Julian as his other hand held mine. He gently caressed the back of my hand and continued, "I don't get it. He's clearly constantly protecting Luna. Where does he get the audacity to say that he loves you?" I sneered and said, "I don't think he has feelings for me at all. He's deliberately sayin

Luna thought eagerly that as long as she could get Julian, then everything Aralyn was enjoying now would become hers.It would be nice if that day could come sooner.…Julian picked a small restaurant this time. He also ordered their signature dishes.He then introduced the restaurant to me. "This restaurant was recommended by Mark. He said the food is really good, so I thought I'd bring you here to try it."The dishes were served.I took a bite. The cooking was just right, and the flavors were incredible. I nodded in agreement, "It's indeed delicious."Seeing that I was genuinely satisfied, Julian let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you like it."I hummed in response and continued eating."Mr. Hughes, is that really you?" A young girl, likely just out of college, suddenly appeared and skipped over to Julian.She had a look of disbelief on her face. "The last time I promoted my parents' restaurant to you, I thought you wouldn't like such a small place. I didn't think you'd

Melody waited in the restaurant for a few minutes before sneaking out. She dashed all the way to Alice at the gaming department. "Alice!"Alice immediately ran to her side upon hearing her. "How did it go?"Melody replied with a mischievous grin, "I did everything you told me to!"Alice smirked wickedly. "Then let's go enjoy the show."Although Julian had been kind to her and even gave her dad valuable advice on work-related matters, she knew it was all for Aralyn's sake. In fact, she had a vague feeling that Julian didn't like her.No, more accurately, Julian seemed to think she was a third wheel who destroyed his and Aralyn's alone time.She and Aralyn were good friends. Spending time together was natural, and Julian had no right to object.Alice grabbed Melody's hand. "Come on!"Melody's excitement grew. "Let's go!"…In the office, I was just about to go back to my couch and continue working. However, Julian tightly held onto my hand. "Lyn.""Yes?" I asked as I turned

Alice replied without hesitation, "No way.""Huh?" replied Melody."When I confessed to him, he made it very clear he wasn't interested in me," Alice said confidently. "Later, when I became friends with Aralyn, he allowed me to work at Hughes Group for her sake." "Oh, I see," replied Melody.She was rather disappointed. "I thought I was about to witness an epic romance!"Hearing this, Alice immediately looked around to ensure no one else was nearby. Once certain, she said, "You absolutely cannot say something like that again in the future. If Julian hears you, he'll really fire me immediately!"Melody quickly covered her mouth. "I'll remember!"…After buying a drink, I opened it and handed it to Julian.He quickly drank a few gulps. Once the burning sensation in his mouth subsided, he suddenly realized that Melody acted like she had a crush on him back then as a way to lower his guard. In reality, Melody's true intent from the start was to mess with him.Julian took my hand

Julian would definitely retaliate. However, his methods weren't too obvious. Usually, people didn't realize what had happened until they found themselves in trouble.I stopped what I was doing and walked up to Julian, asking, "There's only one new project in the gaming department, right? I recall hearing you discuss with Mark that this project is especially urgent."Julian smiled faintly. "That's right. She's far too idle in the gaming department. She doesn't do any real work every day, and all she knows how to do is gossip. If I don't assign her to a busy department to train her properly, she would have learned nothing by the time she resigns."Julian held my hand and added, "I just want her to learn more."His gaze lingered briefly on my lips.I nodded, accepting his explanation. "Alright then, I'll get back to work.""Okay, go ahead," Julian responded gently. …Julian stared at Aralyn as she walked back to her cubicle and sat down. Only then did he calmly look away.Alice

For an ordinary employee, this was indeed a great opportunity. However, Alice had money, but she dared not admit it. With tears streaming down her face, she muttered, "It's really great."Melody was even more puzzled. "Then why are you crying?""I'm happy," Alice said, feeling like she was drowning in a flood of tears. "Next month's paycheck will definitely be huge!"Melody's eyes lit up instantly. "Oh, that's true!"…Julian had just stepped out of the office when Avery, who was hiding nearby, pulled out her phone and called Luna. "Julian is leaving."She quickly added, "Aralyn isn't with him this time.""Alright. I'll go over immediately," Luna replied. She was waiting nearby.She added, "Oh, you need to come downstairs quickly. Later, take the opportunity to find a suitable angle and snap a suggestive photo of us together. Remember to send it to Aralyn once you're back."Avery laughed gleefully. "No problem."She hung up and quickly pressed the elevator button to go down.

"Your relationship with her will remain completely unaffected?"Luna stared at Julian's face as she continued, "Even if you genuinely don't mind, you can listen to what I have to say. Once you know the truth, and you're sure that you don't mind, then it's not too late to tell me to leave, right?"Julian stared at Luna upon hearing this.He had the sudden urge to know how exactly Luna managed to twist the truth so thoroughly. Why did Shayne always choose her unconditionally? Were her manipulation skills too good, so people were unable to resist her, or was it because Shayne was utterly useless?Julian decided to find out. He gestured for the driver to unlock the front passenger door. "Get in and talk."Luna had wanted to sit next to him. However, seeing how determined he was to keep his distance, she hid her unease behind a calm facade. She turned to Julian and said, "Do you know how little self-respect Aralyn had before she dated you?"Upon hearing that, Julian wondered if that

Seeing that no matter what they said, Luna remained unmoved, Shannon slowed her speech. "We're actually here to ask you to get back with Rowan.""Sorry, that thought has completely left my mind," replied Luna."If that's why you're here, then you should leave. I have work to do, so I won't be chatting with you any longer."Luna walked to the door and opened it. "You can go now."Shannon looked at Patrick.Patrick said coolly, "I don't even care that you're pregnant with Shayne's child anymore. In fact, if you get back together with Rowan, we can treat this child as one of our own. I hope you don't miss out on such a great opportunity.""That's not a great opportunity for me. When I didn't have a job back then, I thought being a housewife was a good life. I didn't have to worry about making money—I just had to take care of the household. But I realized it wasn't like that at all."Earning my own money is much better than relying on someone else to give it to me. This way, I don't

"But I remember his place is pretty far from mine," Luna said, puzzled.Patrick sat down on the couch, looking at Luna. "Mainly, we figured since we came all this way to see Rowan, we might as well check in on you, too."Luna was even more confused. "Check in on me? Why?"Instead of answering her, Patrick asked, "You're pregnant."Luna glanced down at her stomach, then replied, "So what? I've been divorced from Rowan for so long, and I've been with Shayne for quite a while now. It's perfectly normal that I'm pregnant. You guys hated me before."Back then, you were eager for me to be with someone else. Now that I am, you guys should be happy."Luna sat down as well. When she was with Rowan, she had always been respectful in front of Patrick and Shannon.She had always seen them as family and worked hard to earn their approval.But no matter what she did, it was never enough.For a long time, Luna wondered if she was doing something wrong.But after the divorce—and after she wa

When I found out Serena didn't have a job yet, an idea immediately came to mind. "I actually started a new company. We're hiring. The salary during the probation period is ten thousand dollars a month, with weekends and all national holidays off. And if you perform well, there's a big commission on top of that."I was about to add more when Mark sent me a photo. It was a payroll statement.Right after that, he sent a voice message. "Take a look at how much they've earned in commissions!"I tapped on the image. The company didn't have many employees yet, but every single one of them had already made over a million in commission—some even over five million.The amusement in my eyes deepened as I replied, "I hope they'll take home even more next month."Mark responded without hesitation, "At the rate sales are going, doubling it shouldn't be a problem."After reading his messages, I finally put my phone down and looked at Serena. "But of course, it all depends on our product sales.

In the cafe, I looked at the young woman sitting across from me and asked, "What's your name?"She was sipping her milk tea. When she heard my question, she quickly looked up and replied, "My name is Serena Towson. You can call me Serena. I used to stay in the ward next to yours."I was a bit puzzled. "Then, how do you know I was framed?"Serena took a deep breath, lowering her head. "Actually, I should be apologizing to you for this.""Why are you apologizing?" I asked in confusion.Serena didn't answer. She looked uneasy as she kept looking down, pushing her phone toward me.On the screen was a voice recording.I tapped play.It was a conversation between Luna and someone else. "I need you to avoid the surveillance cameras and spill oil in that area. Do you hear me?"The other person seemed doubtful about Luna's plan. "If we do that, it'll be hard to clean up, and people will definitely notice something's off!""Don't pour too much. Just pour enough so she'll fall when she

I looked around and saw that there was no one else around before turning to leave."Are you Aralyn?"I heard someone call my name and turned around to see a stranger.A little confused, I asked, "Yes?""I heard from someone at the hospital that you went there before, trying to find proof that Luna was the one who framed you. Isn't that right?" The woman seemed nervous.I had been trying to get evidence for this for a long time, but after so much effort, I hadn't found anything.At this point, I was about to give up on that approach.After all, I had other ways to get back at Luna and Shayne.Hearing what she said, I was surprised. "What, you have proof?""Yes, I do," she said firmly.If I could really get my hands on that kind of evidence, my revenge would be even more ruthless.But I knew that in situations like this, it was important to stay calm. "Why don't we talk about it at a cafe?"The woman hesitated.I smiled. "Do you have time?"Only then did she nod. "Of course

I wanted Shayne to care about Luna, and when Luna gave birth to the baby who wasn't his, Shayne would be immensely devastated, especially since Luna and Charlotte had even forced Shayne into getting a vasectomy.Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder if Luna and Charlotte were on my side.Charlotte looked confused. "Good?"I nodded. "Yes, good."Charlotte studied me. "If he and Luna are doing well, that means he doesn't want you anymore.""Then so be it." I had long since stopped caring about Shayne.Charlotte fell silent.I met her gaze. "I'm married now. Maybe I didn't inform you, but Julian and I are legally married. We just haven't made it public. After being with Julian, I've felt a kind of security that I never had in my previous relationship."So, I also hope that this marriage will last. Of course, it'd be even better for me if all of you stopped bothering me."With that, I was ready to end the conversation. "Anything else you wanted to say? If not, I'll head upstairs."

"Then, do we really need to give them commissions?"I didn't mind. "Yeah, go ahead. If they see that hard work pays off in our company, they'll be more willing to stay, right?""Yeah." Mark chuckled."I get what you're saying. I'll take care of it now.""Alright."After the call ended, Julian walked over to me and held my hand.I gently rubbed his hand in return. "What is it?""Your career is getting more and more successful," Julian said, a bit emotionally.When we first got together, I had nothing—just myself.But over time, I started drawing comics.With the right promotion, my comics gained traction and became a hit.That led to merchandise, trendy collectibles.But Julian never expected that I'd be able to launch my own plushies, start my own company, and make serious money.He always knew I was capable.But seeing me rise back to my peak in such a short time still surprised him.I smiled. "Yeah. Back when I was penniless and kicked out of my house, I never would've

"My plan is to take advantage of the fact that our comic still has some merchandise and the hype hasn't died down yet. While ensuring quality, we'll speed up production as much as possible."I understood what Julian meant. "Alright.""Should I arrange it now?" Julian asked."Sure."Julian took his phone and went out to the balcony to share his thoughts with Mark.As someone who had been working with Julian for years, Mark immediately understood what Julian meant. "Leave it to me."Still, to make sure he didn't misinterpret any details, he confirmed everything with Julian.Only after making sure there were no issues did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and ask Julian to hand me the phone."Yes?" I asked, confused about why he needed to speak to me."Our company's recruitment is pretty much done. I ran the numbers, and with our current profits, we can afford to raise the salaries of our interns," he quickly informed."Since you're bringing this up, that means you already hav

Shannon looked at Patrick.Patrick said, "Tell Rowan to win Luna back. She married someone else out of heartbreak, and that's because of us. Now we have money and are willing to spend it on her. I believe she'll come around. She'll want to come back and be with us again. It just takes time."Patrick wasn't used to staying in such a small place, so he said to Rowan, "Drive us to the hotel.""Alright."Rowan dropped his parents off at the hotel and then returned to his place. Sitting on the couch, he took out his phone and pulled up a photo of Luna.She was sitting by the ocean, turning her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling and filled with love.Rowan couldn't understand how things had gotten to this point.He picked up his phone and texted Luna. "I finally understand why my parents treated you that way back then.""I've known for a while," Luna replied calmly.Rowan was a little surprised. "You knew?""Yeah, I found out a few days ago. But that's your family's issue. It
