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!
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 430
"Isn't that your fault?" Julian asked icily."Had you been willing to spend money by hiring a nanny, a chef, and everything else back then, she would've had time to do what she wanted. Then you would have seen her shine in the field she's passionate about. In fact, the reason you're belittling her is because, deep down, you know how amazing Aralyn is."Shayne immediately retorted, "Impossible!""If you truly thought she was terrible, then you wouldn't be regretting it now. Isn't that right?" Julian said with certainty.Shayne remained silent, just staring at me.At that moment, though, Julian was all I could see.He truly saw my strengths and acknowledged my efforts.Shayne pressed his lips together, feeling a deep pang of bitterness. "One day, you'll meet someone better than Aralyn—""There's no one better than Aralyn," Julian cut him off.I finally understood that Shayne was trying to belittle me in hopes that Julian would despise me. Ideally, he wanted this to lead to Julia

"He had a first love."The sadness in Shayne's heart disappeared instantly as he asked in disbelief, "Really?"The other party chuckled. "You don't believe me?""So, Julian is the same as me," Shayne said with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. Initially, he had genuinely believed Julian was as exceptional as Aralyn claimed."Keep looking into it," he continued."Alright."After hanging up the phone, Shayne felt slightly better.As long as he remained patient, when Julian's first love appeared, Julian's attention would naturally be drawn to that person.And just like how he had hurt Aralyn, Julian would also neglect Aralyn because of his first love.When that happened, Shayne could pursue Aralyn for himself.Shayne kept reminding himself to be patient and not to act rashly.As long as Aralyn ended up with him in the end, that would be enough.Shayne took a deep breath.When he looked at Julian again, his gaze was full of mockery."He's still thinking of his first love
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 432
When Julian saw that it was me, his expression finally softened a bit."His son came to me, acting crazy and bullying others, but he doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. Maybe their family's status far exceeds that of ordinary people, so it gave him the illusion that he's actually superior to others."But in today's society, everyone is equal, isn't that right?" Julian asked, looking up at me.I nodded without hesitation. "That's right."Julian's eyes were filled with approval. Patting my arm, he said, "But it doesn't matter. I'll show him the truth."I was wondering how he planned to handle it.Julian had already started contacting Mark. "Some of our contracts with the Wilson family have expired recently, haven't they?""Yes, but because their products have fallen too far behind, they were no longer popular in the market. Our plan was not to renew with them for now, but we didn't have a suitable excuse," replied Mark."We do now. I remember you mentioned a while back that ot

Alice added, "Think about it. Joseph used to be the center of attention in our social circle. Now, look at him. Not a penny to his name. Guess he won't be acting so high and mighty anymore!" I reminded Alice not to celebrate too soon. "He might still be smug for a little while.""Why?" Alice asked, confused.I explained patiently, "Think about it. Joseph is still Mr. Wilson's most beloved son. Even if he publicly announced he wouldn't help pay off Joseph's debts, people will think it's just talk and that he still dotes on Joseph. "So, to curry favor with Mr. Wilson, some people will secretly try to butter up Joseph by giving him money to spend. They want Lucas to always remember them by using this method. So, when Mr. Wilson and Joseph have reconciled, Mr. Wilson will repay the favor with more business opportunities."Alice looked disgusted after hearing this. "No way. Is that really necessary?""For us, it doesn't seem necessary," I said with a smile. "But for others, it's pro

I spoke slowly, "But when it comes to buying expensive luxury items and jewelry for Luna, you never said anything."Shayne clenched his fists. He wanted to retort but sadly discovered that everything Aralyn said seemed to make sense."They say that a man's money is where his love is. I think you still love Luna."Shayne stared at me and asked, "However, didn't I treat you well when we were together?"I thought carefully before answering, "Before dating Julian, I didn't know what was good or bad. I just thought that with you treating me this way, perhaps I might find someone worse if I went out looking. So, no matter how you hurt me, I endured it."Later, after I started officially dating Julian, I learned that when a man loves a woman, he would put all his heart into treating her well. He wouldn't be like you, using being a straight man as an excuse to avoid romantic gifts and dates. He would also pay attention to all the little details in life too."I stared at Shayne as I conti

Shayne stared at me. He clearly didn't believe my answer.I said nonchalantly, "No matter what happens in the future, I'm already quite content with my life now. The money I earn every month is an amount I would never have dared to imagine in the past. Even if I were greedy and wanted more, what would be the point?"Shayne was stunned, clearly not expecting Aralyn to be so easily satisfied. Was it like this when he was together with Aralyn in the past? Would she have stayed by his side and spent her days with him as long as he gave her even the smallest bit of affection?This thought sent a sharp pain through his heart.It was only at that moment that Shayne finally realized what he had lost and missed—a woman who genuinely liked him and loved him.This love was very pure, with almost no impurities. He quickly explained, "But in the beginning, Luna wasn't like you. However, later on, she suddenly became better than you." "I expected that a long time ago." I understood that he

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
