Julian and I both turned to look at Alice.Alice appeared completely bewildered. "Why are you looking at me? Keep talking.""When did you get here?" Julian asked."Just now, when Mark stepped out," Alice replied.I couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't even notice."Julian shifted his gaze back."If Avery isn't in the company, wouldn't that solve the problem at its root?"Julian didn't immediately express his opinion but first agreed with her, "That's a good idea."Alice's face lit up with a pleased smile. "But have you considered a very important issue?" Julian asked.Alice was puzzled. "What?""Avery and Luna both hate Lyn. If we keep them within sight, we can monitor their actions at all times. But if we let them go and they come up with a malicious plan, we wouldn't be able to detect it in time and respond right away.""Makes sense." Alice nodded."And as it stands now, keeping her in the company means if she gets bored and tries to make trouble for Lyn, I can assign her

After all, all her colleagues were saying that once this project succeeded, the bonus money alone would be enough for them to live comfortably for several lifetimes.Beaming, Alice asked, "Will that bonus include me too?"Julian looked at her curiously. "You're a member of this department, so of course it includes you."Alice instantly stopped feeling tired. "Does that mean I can splurge once I get the money?"Julian looked at her with sympathy, as if saying she probably wouldn't even have time to spend it."With such great incentives, you'd think anyone with even a little ambition would want to give it a shot in this department, but why is no one willing to?" I asked in curiosity.Julian responded, "Because this project isn't guaranteed to make a profit. Most people feel their current salary and benefits are good enough, so they don't want to take the risk."Alice was confused as well. "Even if they don't earn as much as they expect with this project, they still get their salar
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 418
When Alice first heard this, she was utterly baffled and immediately wanted to curse them out.They could stage their melodramatic love story all they wanted, but why drag someone who had already exited their circle into their mess? She was only minding her business, and she wasn't even in contact with them.Was this somehow a part of their tangled web of love and hate?Frowning, Alice asked, "Are they out of their minds?"For once, I agreed, "They must be."Julian also found it odd. He couldn't believe there were actually people this absurd in the world.Alice felt a little better after hearing that. "I think so too. I heard from my dad later that evening, he even had the audacity to call my dad and accuse him of being irresponsible. "He said my dad raised me to be a cruel woman who doesn't care about human lives and that he'd make sure my dad paid for it.""How did your dad respond?" I asked quickly.Taking a deep breath, Alice replied, "He recorded the call and sent it to

Suddenly, a man's impatient voice rang out. "Alice, I thought you didn't like me. Then why are you targeting her? You sent her a message, saying she stole your man. And you even told her to die."His voice was venomous and filled with hatred.Alice turned her head and felt utterly speechless upon seeing Joseph."What bad luck," Alice thought."What day was the message sent, Joseph?" Alice asked irritably.Joseph didn't even think before answering, "Yesterday at 4:00 pm."Alice rolled her eyes.Julian glanced at Alice and spoke calmly. "Mind if I say something?"Joseph was a bit surprised, as he didn't expect Julian to get involved. But he still said, "Go ahead.""The time you mentioned is when Alice had just been transferred to the busiest department in our company."Joseph immediately dismissed Julian's words, not even pausing to think. "So, being transferred to that department means she can't use her phone?"Unbothered by Joseph's tone, Julian replied, "Yes. In her departm

Alice rolled her eyes. "You're lucky enough that I didn't slap the both of you across the face. Joseph, I have no idea what kind of nonsense you're trying to pull. But let me make one thing clear—you might not have a job, but I do."I don't have time to play along with your little love games, nor do I care to be collateral damage in your relationship drama. I hope you'll stop dragging me into your messy relationship!"Alice still couldn't understand why they were so relentless. "Back then, to keep my distance from you, I even stopped associating with the social circles you're in. Isn't that clear enough about where I stand?"Joseph's face darkened. "Are you sure you've never had feelings for me?"At that moment, Alice felt incredibly thankful she had never been attracted to Joseph, not even once. Otherwise, this situation would be impossible to clear up, no matter how much she tried.Nodding, she replied, "If I really loved you, why would I have gone after Julian instead of you ba

"I think what she said makes perfect sense," Julian said. Hearing this, Joseph realized he had no grounds to argue. Even trying to involve Julian wouldn't help, as the latter was clearly not on his side. He grabbed Stella's hand in frustration and said angrily, "Fine, since none of you are reasonable, I have nothing more to say to you."Julian chuckled coldly. "You disrupted our meal to create trouble and now want to turn it around and blame us? Quite the skill you've got there."An undeniable sense of authority radiated from him.Joseph felt a pang of unease but refused to let himself be embarrassed in front of Stella. "Mr. Hughes, I only wanted to seek justice for my girlfriend," he snapped.He figured he couldn't criticize Julian's girlfriend, but Alice was just an employee. It seemed like fair game."The issue has already been explained. Alice made it clear that she didn't do what you accused her of. You blamed her wrongfully," Julian replied, unperturbed."But I trust my

Alice quickly raised her hand and exclaimed, "Slackers!"Back when she was part of that crowd, she didn't think much of it. But now, after leaving that circle—and especially after Joseph came looking for trouble—her resentment had deepened significantly."Exactly. People who are successful in their careers don't associate with them. And they can't mix with those wealthy but well-mannered people either, so what's left in that circle are the spoiled, arrogant rich people who lack skills or ambition. Their parents indulge them, and their friends flatter them."Because of that, they become domineering and overbearing. When they encounter problems, they don't think about the cause of the problems. Instead, they act like headless flies. Others use them as tools, and they charge forward blindly," Julian uttered in disdain.Alice sighed. "Thank goodness I don't hang out with them anymore. Otherwise, I'll probably end up as airheaded as them."Julian didn't deny it. "Based on everything I'

I really admired Julian. He always managed to find such amazing restaurants.Julian watched me for a while, ensuring I was enjoying the food, before finally looking away.After we finished eating, we left the restaurant.Julian held my hand."Are we going straight back to work?" I asked."No, let's take a walk first. So much has been going on lately. I feel we haven't communicated much, and I'd like to take this opportunity to talk more. After all, compared to work and making money, our relationship is the most important thing."I had never thought that a man could value a relationship so highly. In my understanding, women seemed to have more delicate emotions. On the other hand, men always seemed focused on work.It wasn't until I spent time with Julian that I realized there really wasn't much difference between men and women.The only difference was whether they loved each other or not.Julian was willing to make time to nurture our relationship because he loved me.When I

Shayne was unwilling to give up and wanted to talk more. But whenever he tried, Aralyn would find an excuse to leave.Bitterness filled Shayne.He persisted day after day, treating Aralyn well bit by bit. After a long time, Aralyn was finally moved.She finally agreed to date him.But what happened after that?As their relationship deepened, he should have normally fallen in love with Aralyn and naturally stepped into marriage with her.But there was no such memory in Shayne's mind.Their relationship suddenly took a strange turn—Aralyn was the one pursuing him, while he was always avoiding her.Shayne frowned, seriously trying to recall what had happened.It was probably the day before he decided to forget about Luna and sincerely start a life with Aralyn when Luna called him.She said she was living a hard life and wanted to come back and reconcile with him.The smile on Shayne's face gradually turned bitter.At that time, Rowan was still incredibly wealthy. His family sh

The living room was spacious and bright.The food on the dining table was already cold.Even the candles had burned down completely.Aralyn sat quietly at the table. It was only when she heard his footsteps that she lifted her head and looked at him."Didn't you say you would come back to celebrate our anniversary with me? Why are you only back now?" she questioned.It was only then that Shayne realized he hadn't even told Aralyn where he had been.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, honey. Something came up at work; I was swamped. I couldn't come back and be with you. I'm really sorry."At the time, Shayne had still been serious about maintaining this family.Aralyn stared straight at him, her eyes carrying a calmness as if she saw through everything. "Are you sure you were working? You know I don't like being lied to. If you're lying, you know what happens."For some reason, Shayne had suddenly chickened out. "I went to pick up a friend."Aralyn didn't show whether she belie

In the past, I would never have dared to imagine that a plush doll I casually designed could turn out so well."Wait a minute."A thought suddenly struck me, and I stared at Julian.Julian didn't understand why I had such an expression on my face."Since the animation can release an entire series of products, then can't my plush dolls also be made into smaller versions? Or maybe I could launch a whole line of merchandise like mugs, keychains, and so on?"Julian hadn't considered this before, but after hearing what I said, he replied, "That could work.""I'll tell Mark right away!" I exclaimed excitedly, about to sit up and grab my phone. But when I glanced at the time, I realized it was too late.Although Mark was dedicated to his work, it didn't seem right to bring this up so late at night.I had no choice but to suppress my excitement and lie back down. "I'll tell him tomorrow."Julian looked at me with deep affection. "Alright."He raised his hand and stroked my hair. "Ara

Did he have to tell Luna that he wouldn't separate from her and Mason in the future?No.Shayne had already decided he loved Aralyn. He couldn't waver anymore.Remaining silent for a long time, Shayne said, "You're right."Luna hadn't expected Shayne to respond like this. She was momentarily stunned and immediately sat up, staring at him in disbelief."So, should I still take him out tomorrow?" Shayne asked.Luna finally realized that all her previous tactics were useless against Shayne now. "Go ahead, or you'll disappoint him since you've already promised him."Shayne didn't refuse. "Alright."Luna helped Shayne find some clothes and then led him to the master bedroom. "Are you planning to sleep in the same room as me tonight, or…"Shayne shook his head. "I'll stay by myself. If Aralyn finds out, she'll definitely be upset."This was exactly what Luna wanted to hear; she didn't want to sleep with him either."Then, I'll sleep in the guest bedroom tonight. Get some rest."W

"You were by Mason's side, and you treated him well. He was happy."Luna lowered her eyes, her gaze incredibly gentle. "He thinks you're the best dad in the world."Shayne suddenly felt a bit guilty.He hadn't been a good husband and father."But I wasn't good to him," he replied softly.Luna felt it was time for Shayne to bond with Mason. "He doesn't think so. Why don't I call him over? You can ask him."Shayne thought that was a good idea. Kids understood other kids' feelings best. "Then I'll trouble you with that.""Alright." Luna got up and walked forward while holding her belly.Shayne sat where he was, feeling a bit anxious.Luna walked to Mason's bedroom door and knocked. "Mason, Dad's here!"Upon hearing that, Mason was thrilled and rushed out of his room. But when he saw Shayne not far away, his expression froze. Then, he turned to look at Luna.He had thought his biological dad was here.Luna patted Mason's back gently.Mason instantly understood what Luna meant

Thinking it was Yasmin again, Luna grew a bit annoyed. But she still forced a smile. "Why are you here again?"Shayne narrowed his eyes instinctively. "Again? Was someone else here just now?""Yasmin." Luna stepped aside to let Shayne in. Her belly was already quite large, and she had to support her waist while walking."She said she wants to pursue Julian and asked me for some advice."After saying that, she realized her tone toward Shayne had been a bit cold.Hence, she softened her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?""I want to ask you some questions about kids," Shayne answered."Kids? I know a lot about kids." Luna placed her hand on her belly, stroking it gently.As she spoke, she pulled Shayne's arm, making him sit beside her. "But before you ask me anything, come and listen first. Our baby should have a heartbeat by now."Shayne no longer felt love for Luna, but he couldn't deny that he still cared a lot about the baby.It was his baby, after all.He pressed

Maisy stared at Shayne.Shayne remained silent for a long time before saying, "No matter what, he's my son.""So, now you consider him your son? Too late! I'm warning you, the only reason you got to talk to him today is because I didn't notice you in time! If I catch you near Zach again, I won't let you off!" Maisy snapped.For Shayne, Zach was the only connection left between him and Aralyn.If he lost Zach too, then he would truly have nothing.Shayne looked straight at Maisy and said, "But do you have the right to interfere? You're his grandmother. I'm his father. It's already kind enough of me to let him live with you."Maisy almost laughed in anger. "Me? Interfering? First of all, you were the one who gave up custody of Zach. You were also the one who refused to give him a single cent! And now you're telling me this? Do I look like a pushover?"She had managed to carve out her own path after her divorce, despite Donald trying to blacklist her from the industry.That alone

Shayne followed behind Zach into the bedroom, only to discover that the entire room was covered with photos of Aralyn.Every wall was plastered with them.He stood there, stunned.On the desk, a small robot said in Aralyn's uniquely gentle voice, "You're home, sweetheart."Shayne looked over in disbelief.Zach sat in front of the robot, looking at it with a smile. "Yes, Mom, I'm home.""Welcome home," said the robot softly."But there's an unwelcome guest in the house," Zach said.The little robot immediately suggested, "Why don't we call someone else over to kick him out?"Zach looked at Shayne.His longing for Aralyn had only gotten better because of the robot and the countless photos surrounding him.But when he noticed Shayne was also staring at the robot, his expression darkened. "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here. Please leave."Shayne stood there, dazed. "Can I ask who gave you this robot?""No, you can't," Zach replied sternly.Shayne averted his gaze and

Yasmin narrowed her eyes.So, Luna had indeed pursued Julian.Yasmin found it oddly amusing.Since Luna was also interested in Julian, would she really help Yasmin sincerely?Yasmin wasn't sure, but she decided to put it aside for now.Either way, she would just stay vigilant.…Zach returned home, only to see Shayne standing at the door. He merely glanced at Shayne before looking away and pushing the door open to enter the house.Shayne followed behind him.As soon as Zach stepped inside, he intended to close the door.But Shayne stuck his hand in the doorway. "Can we talk?""About what? Last time we met, you hit me. What about this time?" Zach asked coldly.He didn't believe for a second that Shayne had come for anything good.After all, Shayne was an idiot who always believed whatever people told him.There was a high chance that this time, Shayne had been manipulated again and had come looking for trouble."I'm here to talk about your mother," Shayne muttered.At hi
