"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

I thought carefully for a long time before saying, "I had been married to the wrong person. I know all too well what the outcome of that is. But now, looking back, I think that's an indispensable part of my life."After all, it's those experiences that shaped who I am today. So, from my point of view, as long as her safety can be ensured, it's better to respect her choices as much as possible. Life is short. Living solely under parental protection would be far too dull, don't you think?"My tone became earnest. "I hope she can live her life as she wishes."Instead of responding immediately, Julian considered my words.After a long pause, he looked at me and asked, "Do you have any regrets?"Afraid I wouldn't understand what he was referring to, he added, "About marrying Shayne?""No. After all, back then, he was all I could think about. I poured all my love into him. When he let me down, I realized I wasn't living for anyone else. I was living for myself."Julian smiled. "That's

Julian nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Use this opportunity to remove any employees in the company who are disloyal.""We can do that?" Danny asked incredulously."Of course."Danny seemed to appreciate the suggestion. "Alright, I'll take care of these matters first, and then I'll get back to you.""Okay."…When Julian returned to the office, he poured two glasses of water.He walked over to me and handed me one of the glasses. "As expected, the Wilson family acted just as I anticipated."I took the glass and asked in confusion, "Joseph liked Alice before and targeted her family to force a marriage. Now that he's moved on, why is he still doing this?"Julian sat beside me. "Perhaps it's because he didn't get what he wanted and can't accept it. People like him grow up in an environment where their families always try to get them anything they want. That's why they have this mentality where they must obtain whatever they want at all costs."I said with disdain, "Why can't they

Mark clearly knew I hadn't been checking the data lately, so he was eagerly anticipating my reaction.Hearing him, I opened my phone."You've handled the comic-related work very well," Julian acknowledged Mark's capabilities. "Although, for the time being, the company can't give you a raise."Moreover, the project was in its critical phase now, so a vacation wasn't feasible either.But Julian had certainly noticed Mark's hard work. "However, the company can grant you a period of paid leave. Whenever you feel tired and want to take a proper break, you can apply for leave for an extended time."Without hesitation, Mark responded, "Mr. Hughes, I'm already very satisfied with my current salary."His salary was higher than some of the company's executives."And I get commissions. That's a benefit many companies don't offer!" he added.Mark wasn't about to overestimate his options and think he could find another job that rewarded effort as much as Hughes Group did. "I have no demands

The number truly left me in awe.Mark looked at Julian and me, smiling broadly.If I was earning this much money, it meant he wouldn't be making any less."I compared sales figures of similar merchandise abroad and found that their merchandise profits alone can bring in tens of billions annually. Converted into our currency, that's over a hundred billion. "And that doesn't even include book royalties and various other fees. If we can elevate the work to a globally top-tier level, then the income will be remarkable," Mark said.When Mark first took on this project, he hadn't thought much about it. Even when Julian painted a picture of future development, he had merely assumed Julian was exaggerating to favor his girlfriend.But as he delved deeper, he realized how vast the merchandise market was and how many ways there were to make money. That was when his perspective shifted.Julian had given him a share ratio that would make anyone envious, so he was even more motivated to i

Everyone knew how capable Julian was at work. If he helped me, my plan would succeed. I was really looking forward to it.Smiling, Julian ruffled my hair. "Of course. I'm happy that you trust me."After he said that, I felt even more motivated. "Alright! I'll keep working striving to earn enough to support my life! Then I'll open many, many stores and help many, many people!"…Julian watched the woman in front of him working diligently, his eyes full of admiration.She had been through so much, yet she remained unaffected and continued to maintain her kindness, which was rare.Even when it came to getting revenge on others, she didn't act maliciously.It seemed that even her hatred was not as intense as others'.Julian felt that his love for Aralyn seemed to deepen without him even realizing it.He glanced at the time, noting there was still over an hour until Willow's school ended. He returned to his desk, finishing up his work for the day.…Shayne had been cooped up in

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
