"Why don't you try it yourself then? I'll believe you if your child survives."Julian's face remained cold as he said, "Stop the car."The driver pulled the car over to the side of the road."You should get out now," Julian said disdainfully.Though Luna was reluctant to do so, she could sense that her attempt to sow discord today had failed. She dejectedly got out of the car.The driver closed the door. He then stepped on the gas and drove off without a second glance.Julian turned his head to look out the window. He had initially thought that Luna's manipulation skills would be unmatched. However, it was nothing special. Even so, Shayne still chose to believe her words. What did that say about him? It meant Shayne was a fool who didn't love Aralyn at all.It seemed that he had overestimated Shayne.Julian scoffed, hiding the disgust in his eyes.…Luna stood in place and stared as the car left.Didn't men mind if their women weren't clean? Why was Julian different?Sh

I took out my phone and pulled up the blocklist. "Now that Luna has Julian as such a powerful backer, she probably doesn't need to spend Shayne's money anymore, right?""That's between them!" Avery yelled as she rushed toward me, trying to grab my phone. "It's not your place to interfere."However, I easily dodged her.I smiled and said, "Your reaction is enough to prove that Julian and Luna's relationship isn't as smooth as you think. Otherwise, Luna would've already contacted Shayne herself to end things without me needing to lift a finger."Only then did Avery realize that I had probably never believed her attempts to stir up trouble. "When did you figure it out?""From the moment you showed me those photos." I wasn't dumb. I wouldn't fall for such petty tricks. "You're doing this to provoke me into misunderstanding Julian, right? In your plan, I'm supposed to feel deeply hurt. I'll then run to Julian and hysterically question why he betrayed me and chose Luna of all people

"When they ask you that question, you'll tell them your daughter pursued me in the past and that I hated her a lot, so much so that I canceled several projects with your family's company because of it."Danny pondered for a moment before asking, "Saying that will make them let their guard down?""That's right."Julian then slowly explained, "Those who think more meticulously might think that I've noticed flaws in the partnership proposal; that I've anticipated your company's imminent collapse and am looking to take advantage of the situation to carve up your assets. As such, I've decided to pretend that I've buried the hatchet while I extend you an olive branch"Julian continued casually, "They'll never suspect that we've already established a deeper partnership behind the scenes."Danny sighed in admiration. "Mr. Hughes, you've really thought this problem through."Julian wasn't interested in wasting time on unnecessary flattery. "Mr. York, there's no need for formalities. Also,

The manager looked serious as she huffed.…Julian returned not long after they left. He walked straight over to me, cupped my face in his hands, and kissed my lips.His dark eyes were filled with unconcealed love. "I missed you."I hugged him. "I missed you too."Both Julian and Shayne were successful entrepreneurs, yet Shayne had always been stingy with expressing his affection. Perhaps Shayne never loved me at all. That was why he detested telling me sweet words.However, Julian was different. He never hid his feelings.I had him sit beside me, then turned to look into his eyes. Concerned, I asked, "Are you tired?""Why are you being so formal all of a sudden?" Julian asked, a little unused to it. "What happened?"I decided to be honest. "Someone came by with pictures of you chatting in the car with Luna just now. Then, they showed me one of you letting her into the car to tattle on you. They said you didn't love me anymore and that you've fallen for Luna instead. So, why

The ones clearly at fault in this were Luna and Shayne. However, they made it seem like Aralyn was the one at fault. They each took turns complaining to Julian. He couldn't hide the coldness on his face.I realized there was something wrong with his mood, so I changed the topic. "However, Luna, as one of the main culprits, dared to come running to you to spread rumors?"Julian's voice was gentle as he replied, "I told her I was the one who sent you to the hospital when you fell. Yet, she said the baby was fine after you fell down the stairs. That would be miraculous. "Anyway, I don't believe her. If she wants to prove her claim, she'll have to throw herself down the stairs to prove it to me."His voice carried a dangerous edge.After some thought, I decided to tell him my thoughts. "The child in Luna's belly must stay."Julian was at a loss. "Why? She was the one who killed the child in your belly. Do you not want to avenge your child?" I replied seriously, "Her baby has to be

Whenever there were conflicts, Shayne would always give me the silent treatment no matter whose fault it was. In the end, I would always be the one who apologized.Over time, I forgot what normal interactions between people were supposed to look like.Now, hearing Julian explain it, I suddenly realized that if two people wanted to live a good life together, they had to face problems as a team.I smiled and said, "I got it.""Should I head to my meeting now?" Julian asked reluctantly."Work is important," I said, looking him in the eyes. "Go ahead."Julian left reluctantly.With some rare free time on my hands, I opened the comments section on my account. After taking a glance, I immediately noticed someone stirring up trouble again.It was probably Luna.She had failed to ruin my reputation and had failed to seduce Julian. As such, she was most likely furious. It was definitely because the more she thought about it, the angrier she became after she got home. However, she had

I got up and walked over to the fridge. I then turned to look at Ximena and asked, "What would you like to drink?"Ximena thought about it before answering, "I'd like a soda. Do you have any in the fridge?""I do," I replied as I took out a can, opened it, and handed it to her."Thank you." Ximena took it, had a sip, and said contentedly, "It's been so long since I've had soda."Julian saw that we were done chatting, so he asked Ximena about how work was lately. Ximena didn't hold back and reported everything truthfully.I was about to leave because I felt like it wasn't my place as someone from the comics department to listen to their work discussion. However, Julian stopped me by pressing my hand and saying, "This progress isn't a secret. You don't need to leave, so stay here and keep me company."Hearing that, I sat back down.Ximena glanced at us before she continued discussing the topic that she wasn't done with. Once she was done, Julian said, "You can take a few days off

"You were right to leave since they wouldn't give you a raise."Ximena had always been loyal to her company. Even though her abilities far surpassed her current salary, the company refused to increase her pay even slightly.Which company in the industry didn't think she deserved better? Everyone wanted to recruit her, but she never planned on leaving.However, funnily enough, the company ended up laying her off.Ximena agreed and said, "Exactly. They just didn't want to spend the money. They want me to give up my currently high-paying job and return to being cheap labor for them. "I had to work myself to the bone so they could buy their fancy houses and cars, yet I ended up living a miserable life. They also knew they couldn't talk me into it directly, so they tried to guilt-trip me." I held Ximena's hand. "At least you've escaped now."Ximena's face lit up with a smile. "Yeah, that's right."…Zach didn't follow Aralyn to the villa to secretly watch her be happy with someon

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
