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

"Yes," I said with a chuckle.Shayne anxiously added, "Then for Zach's sake!""But you already gave up on him, did you not? Shayne, once you're unhappy, you can abandon anyone. That's who you are. You said you loved Luna, but after getting Luna, you're now saying you love me and want me back. Is your love really that cheap?"Shayne shook his head in a panic. "No. I can change. Aralyn, as long as you're willing—""I'm not willing," I interrupted, not giving him a chance to continue."Shayne, I don't want to get back together with you and repeat the boring, painful life we had before, only to get betrayed again when you fall in love with another woman."I asked him, "Do you know why I chose Julian?"Shayne shook his head. He truly didn't know.I smiled gently, the warmth clear in my expression. "Because being with Julian means I won't have to worry about these things."Without thinking, Shayne retorted, "How can you be so sure Julian won't do the same? Don't be foolish, Aralyn!

Luna got straight to the point in her reply. "But I'm better than her. If you're with me, your life would be a lot less troublesome."Rowan saw the notification on WhatsApp. He picked up his phone, glanced at the message, and finally replied, "But I don't like mistresses."He didn't understand why the love he worked so hard to pursue was never his, to begin with. However, Julian wasn't interested in Luna at all, yet he effortlessly got Luna's affection.Luna stared at the words on the screen. It felt like a sharp stab to her heart. The pain was unbearable. However, she schooled her expression and forced a smile onto her face. "I'm not a mistress. I'm just courageously pursuing love."Rowan didn't know how to respond to Luna, so he decided to ignore her.Not getting a reply from Julian made Luna a little anxious. She asked, "Do you really like Aralyn that much?""But I don't see anything particularly attractive about her," she added.Rowan continued ignoring her.Luna continued

Rowan saw the message from Luna. Instead of replying through Julian's account, he took out another phone and sent a message to Luna from his own WhatsApp account. "Luna, how are you doing now?"Luna didn't reply.Rowan felt as though his heart had been pierced by an arrow. It hurt immensely.At first, he had some delusions regarding Luna. He even reassured himself that she hadn't replied last time because she was pregnant and must have been so tired that she fell asleep immediately. She just so happened to be awake when she chatted with Julian.Now, he knew that wasn't the case. Luna simply didn't want to waste any more time on him.Rowan plastered on a bitter smile.He treated her so well, so why didn't she like him?Luna glanced at the message from Rowan and sneered. If she wasn't mistaken, Rowan had become a useless person who did nothing after their divorce. Even she was doing better than him now. She didn't want to waste her time on someone who wasn't worth it, but Julian

When Luna opened her phone, she found her feed flooded with ads praising how amazing her work was.Many people were curious, so they clicked on her comics out of curiosity. Upon reading, they discovered that it was as claimed by the advertisements. The quality was pretty good.As such, more and more people started following her comic.Luna smiled, satisfied.She opened her storefront and noticed that the sales of her merchandise were skyrocketing.It seemed that the manager did have some skill. The audience drawn in by the promotions turned out to be genuine readers and not fake readers.Luna's mood improved.The response was already this impressive with just one million dollars invested in marketing. What if she spent two or three million dollars? Maybe even ten million dollars? Would her work blow up on the Internet?Just imagining everyone online talking about her comics made Luna uncontrollably excited. However, she worked hard to keep her excitement in check.Looking at t

Avery said with a smile, "I've sent the numbers to your WhatsApp. Take a look."Luna opened her WhatsApp upon hearing that. When she saw the contacts, she smiled. "Are all of them there?""Yeah," Avery replied. She had put in effort and even included screenshots of all the products listed in Aralyn's storefront.Luna carefully cross-checked them and found that the contacts Avery sent could produce almost everything in Aralyn's shop. Only then did she smile and reply, "Thank you. Once I make money, I'll definitely remember your kindness."Avery wasn't expecting Luna to actually pay her, but she appreciated the sentiment. Playing along good-naturedly, she said, "Then I'll be waiting for you to strike it rich!""No problem," Luna replied. She could no longer be bothered with pleasantries anymore and added, "I'll contact them now and see how things go.""Alright."Luna hung up and immediately started calling the numbers Avery had sent, negotiating cooperation deals with each of th

"I ended up in this situation because of you," said Avery. Since she had sacrificed a lot for Luna, she found it necessary to inform her about it.Hearing this, Luna felt a pang of guilt. "Then why don't you come work at my company?""It's fine," Avery declined. "Your comic company just started, and you're short on funds. If I joined, you'd have to pay me a salary. That's not practical."Luna didn't respondPuzzled, Avery asked, "But why are you suddenly asking about merchandise?"Luna took a deep breath. There was no one who could help her now. Moreover, she was pregnant, so bearing all the pressure alone was rather exhausting.She replied without hesitation, "Because I want to start producing merchandise now.""Then I can help you take a look at Aralyn's storefront to see what she's selling." Avery was currently free, so she could help Luna out a little and wouldn't mind doing so."Thank you," Luna said gratefully."I can also summarize details like materials and put every

Shayne couldn't figure out the answer. His phone rang. He took the phone and glanced at it. It was Luna."What's the matter?" he asked.Luna lightly bit her lip. She didn't know how to start, but for the sake of her work's development, she decided to risk it. "Didn't you agree to transfer money to me so I can promote my work?"She was worried that the delay would cause complications and that Shayne would regret his words.As such, she contacted him early in the morning. She asked cautiously, "When will you transfer me the money?"Shayne was willing to help Luna promote her work mainly because he wanted Aralyn to see him treating Luna well. He wanted her to be jealous. It would have been best if she immediately regretted getting together with Julian and broke up with him to remarry Shayne. As such, he would definitely transfer the sum to Luna.Shayne answered without hesitation, "I'll have someone transfer it to you now."Luna finally let out a sigh of relief upon receiving

Joseph said fearlessly, "Anyway, I've said that I won't go to work, so I won't do so!"Lucas took a deep breath. "Alright! You said it yourself. Just don't regret it in the future!"Joseph shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course."Lucas called his secretary in front of Joseph and instructed him to not transfer Joseph a single cent from this month onward. He then blocked Joseph's number.Since Joseph refused to listen, then he had to use this opportunity as a father to teach him a lesson.Lucas said casually, "Remember, you chose this path.""Yeah," replied Joseph. He stood up and left.…When Shayne reached the office, his mind was filled with thoughts of Aralyn. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and silently gazed into the distance.For some reason, ever since she left him, she seemed to look better with each passing day. When he went to seek her out a few days ago, the furrow of her brows showed a hint of sadness. However, that had been replaced by ease and joy today.It w

Lucas asked irritably, "What? Did you call just to mock me and kick me while I'm down?""Of course not." Danny's temper was very good. Although Lucas was already losing his temper at him, he still said with a smile, "Didn't you invest a lot of money in the project we worked on together? Although you said you didn't want that money back in the past, I still think it's better to return it to you."Danny repeated what Julian had suggested but in his own way. "It's not a lot of money, so it might not help you much. However, it's the best I can do within my capabilities."Lucas asked seriously, "Did Mr. Hughes teach you this?"Danny was in disbelief. "How did you know?""Because I know you..." Lucas said awkwardly. "You'd be thrilled to see me struggling and would happily watch from the sidelines."Danny didn't deny it. Lucas continued, "Tell Mr. Hughes that I appreciate it and thank you."Before Danny could respond, Lucas had already hung up....Lucas sat on the couch and loo

Once Lucas said that, he felt a little hesitant, worried that Julian might reject him.Julian's voice was frigid. "I don't think this has anything to do with feelings. Instead, you tried to collaborate with others, got rejected, and then thought of how you worked with me for many years, right?"Lucas tried to flatter him. "So, Mr. Hughes, would you still be willing to give me another chance?""We signed a contract with a new company yesterday," Julian replied tactfully.Lucas said, "It wouldn't be right to cancel your new agreement just for us…" His face turned pale as a sheet.Julian showed no regard for their past relationship. "Yeah."Lucas replied awkwardly. "I'll think of another solution, then."With that, he hung up immediately.Upon hearing the end tone from his phone, Julian remained quiet for a moment before dialing Danny's number.Danny sounded surprised. "Mr. Hughes?" Julian got straight to the point. "Are you aware of the Wilson family's current situation?""
