Avery suddenly felt a pang of regret that she hadn't learned to draw when she was younger.If she had known she had such a good opportunity, she would definitely have cherished it."Think it over carefully. Luna, do you want to know something? Hughes Group has the most generous profit-sharing ratio I've ever seen in the industry."Even if you switch to another company, you probably won't get such good terms. If you really let this slip by, you'll regret it for the rest of your life," Avery uttered.Luna couldn't deny that she had been swayed by Avery's words. "I'll reach out to Shayne and see if I can convince him to cover this expense for me."Seeing that Luna was finally tempted, Avery let out a sigh of relief. "I'll be waiting for your good news.""Alright."…Ending the call, Luna walked into the courtyard on the first floor and sat on the swing. She admired the lush greenery all around her, a smile forming on her lips.Right now, Shayne was like her dog. He might not love

Shayne hadn't expected Luna to be so polite. "No need. Luna, even if we're not married, I still hope you can live well."Luna smiled involuntarily. She knew her charm was not something most people could resist.After hanging up, she immediately contacted Avery to ask how much money would need to be invested initially.Avery was caught off guard by the question. "I'm not sure either. Let me ask our company's secretary.""Okay."…Avery stood at the door of Mark's office and raised her hand to knock."Come in," Mark said coldly.Avery stood before Mark with her head lowered and asked in a small voice, "How much does it cost to invest in Luna's comic so the company would be willing to produce her merchandise?"Mark recalled Julian's words—Luna was problematic.If the merchandise was produced, and customers later learned the truth about Luna's character, they would demand refunds en masse.The company would suffer significant losses.However, the fact that they were already ask

Avery was thrilled that Luna was on her side. "Yes!""Then let's do what we should do. I'll go convince Shayne, and you handle the contract termination," Luna said confidently."No problem!"…After hanging up, Luna initially planned to call Shayne. But on second thought, she decided that something this important should be discussed in person. Hence, she instructed the driver to take her to Shayne's company.The employees at Shayne's company all knew her and were aware of her relationship with Shayne, so no one stopped her.Luna made her way to Shayne's office easily. She knocked on the door, and after hearing him grant permission to enter, she pushed it open and walked in.Shayne was the only one in the office.Luna sat down in front of him, cupping her face in her hands and staring at him.Shayne was still busy. "If you've got something to say, just say it.""Don't you think it's unfair that we invested a lot of money in Julian, but only got a small portion in return? Doesn

Avery pretended to sound exhausted and said, "Fortunately, I stood my ground. No matter what they said, I kept insisting that I wanted to terminate the contract. They had no choice but to compromise."Luna smiled and praised, "You're amazing.""Of course." Avery accepted Luna's compliment without batting an eye. "You're my friend. It's natural for me to go the extra mile for you.""True." Satisfied with the answer, Luna ended her call with Avery.She then said to Shayne, "Good news! My comic has been released from the contract!"Shayne contacted Henry to inform him that Luna's work had been signed to their company and instructed him to make the news public, ensuring that everyone knew about it.Henry agreed.…The news of Pearce Group signing Luna's comic quickly went viral online.At the same time, other hot topics were also dominating discussions.For example, the Wilson family publicly announced the cancellation of their collaboration with the York family and even declar

"Will my income skyrocket and surpass Aralyn's? Will I earn tens of millions in a single month?" Luna thought.Thinking of these figures, Luna couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. She forced herself to calm down and looked at Shayne across from her. "You're busy with work and don't have time to keep me company. I won't bother any longer.""Alright. Be careful on your way back," Shayne said."Okay."Luna left the office and got into the car, still feeling as if she were dreaming.She was used to relying on men and had never thought that, with her own abilities alone, she could also live a worry-free and relatively happy life.Luna turned her head to look out the window.If the company that signed her wasn't Pearce Group but instead a company that valued her abilities, would she then be able to become independent?Luna only entertained the thought briefly before lowering her gaze.It didn't matter if no company signed her.If she earned enough money, she could start

"But when it comes to Shayne, that's not negotiable. I have to be with you to feel at ease."Seeing Julian so firm, I stopped trying to argue and headed downstairs.Shayne's car was parked right in front of Hughes Group. I looked at him from a distance and slowly came to a stop in front of him.Shayne got straight to the point. "Aralyn, I've never said anything about you having a man. But don't you think you've gone too far?"Shayne suddenly felt incredibly pathetic, having to use such a reason just to interact with Aralyn. And what made it even worse was that just seeing Aralyn's face made him feel as if he was no longer a walking corpse but a living, breathing human again.That feeling was grounding. He liked it."She's pregnant. How could you provoke her?"I was completely confused. "Provoke her? I have no time for that. Shayne, even if you're in a bad mood and looking for someone to vent your anger on, I'm not exactly a logical choice. You must not know, but I'm incredibly b

Shayne remained silent for a long time before finally explaining, "Is it possible that because your life is going well, you want to show off in front of the woman who stole your man?""That would only be the case if I still loved you. Only then would I keep thinking about you and be unwilling to let you go. And after doing well for myself, I'd want to prove something to you both."But the thing is, I stopped caring about you a long time ago. So, whether I live well or not, I have no reason to show off to either of you. Also, you said I reached out to Luna to bully her. Tell me how I contacted her, then," I retorted.Shayne immediately answered, "Your phone.""I've already blocked both of your numbers." I laughed.Shayne went silent."You're truly someone in my past now. My happiest moments are when Willow and Julian are by my side and when I don't have to deal with you. This may sound harsh to you, but it's the truth. Leaving you has only made me happier. "Why would I do someth

Shayne stood frozen in place, watching Aralyn's departing figure.Because of Luna, he had come to bother Aralyn, but this would only make her hate him more.However, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't have any legitimate reason to see Aralyn.Shayne was deeply confused.What could he possibly do to interact with Aralyn without making her angry?…We arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten.Willow had just finished school. Spotting me, she held onto Pamela and ran toward me. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"I bent down and picked Willow up, saying affectionately, "I missed you too."Willow leaned into my arms happily, giggling.Pamela also ran to Ximena, cuddling up to her.Willow looked at Pamela.Julian could guess what Willow was thinking. "Didn't you two want to know how toy airplanes fly the other day? I've specially invited a teacher to our house tonight to give a lesson."He turned to Pamela and asked, "Do you want to join us?"Pamela looked at Ximena eagerly. "Can

Shayne lifted his head and stared at Maisy.Maisy felt that Shayne hitting Zach couldn't be brushed off so easily. Otherwise, people would think Zach was easy to bully and pile on him.Realizing this, she stepped forward and slapped Shayne hard. "That's payback for Zach. Now we're even."Shayne took a deep breath. "I've tolerated you again and again only because you're Aralyn's mother. Don't push your luck!"Maisy glared at Shayne coldly. "Hmph! She has nothing to do with you anymore, and neither do I. You don't need to consider anyone's feelings."With that, Maisy turned and walked away with ease.Shayne watched her departing figure, bitterness filling his heart.Maisy used to be fond of him.Every time he and Aralyn visited, Maisy would cook all his favorite dishes.Even Aralyn would get jealous and pout, saying, "Mom, you treat your son-in-law better than me now. I'm jealous!"Every time, Maisy would tap Aralyn's cheek gently and say, "You're a grown woman. Is this really

"If he makes a mistake, I will point it out. It's not your place to interfere. Do you understand?"Shayne was indeed in the wrong this time, and he felt a bit guilty. "I was afraid you were spoiling him too much."Maisy let out a cold laugh. "His father drives his mother away for the sake of a mistress, and in the end, even his father doesn't want him. He's so young, yet he's already gone through so much. It's justified that I spoil him."She only felt sorry for Zach. He had been through too much at such a young age. "Besides, being afraid that I'm spoiling him too much doesn't give you the right to lay your hand on him."Tell me, did you hit him because he did something wrong? If you can say what it was, and if he was truly in the wrong, I'd take your side no matter what."Shayne fell silent.Seeing his expression, Maisy immediately understood and became even more furious."He said he never contacted his mother," Shayne explained.Maisy was so speechless she almost laughed. "T

"Of course!" Zach answered without hesitation."All my classmates' parents are coming. Only mine are not. But since Noah and Ms. Harper are around the same age as Mom and Dad, the kids in my class might mistake them for my parents."That should make me feel a little better. And you're a family member, Granny. I won't be too different from the other kids."Maisy's heart ached at Zach's words. "Alright, don't worry. I'll be there."Getting Maisy's confirmation, Zach quickly jumped off his chair and took out his suit, handing it to Maisy. "This is the outfit I picked out earlier. I have to wear it! I look really good in it. Make sure to bring it in the afternoon, okay?"Maisy smiled at him lovingly. "Okay."Zach finally felt at ease. He slung his backpack over his shoulder and left.Maisy held onto the little suit and followed behind Zach.Zach looked at Maisy in confusion and asked, "Why are you coming too?"Maisy ruffled Zach's hair. "I'll send you to school and pick up some gr

The other party was a professional marketer. As soon as they received the money, they got to work immediately.Before long, Luna's new book release was trending.Luna's works were already of decent quality, and with several rounds of hype, she had gained a large fan base. When people heard that her book was about to be published, many rushed in, eager to buy it.Orders started coming in through various channels.Luna's mood improved when she saw the rapidly increasing numbers. Then, she reached out to Emilia. "Did you see the sales of my new book?"Emilia had just come out of a meeting. Glancing at the numbers, she stated in surprise, "That's a lot.""I had a bit of a reputation overseas. Back then, our publishing house handled my books, so you should know," Luna replied confidently.Emilia was well aware of that.Luna continued, "This book has both a great plot and stunning visuals. Of course, plenty of people would love it."After thinking for a while, Emilia said, "Judging

Both of them tried to persuade Maisy.Maisy was feeling emotional. Her precious grandson had grown up and now knew how to care for his grandmother. "Alright, then. I'll go tomorrow."Zach smiled happily. "Okay."Maisy pulled Zach to sit beside the couch and began helping him reduce the swelling. Her eyes were full of distress. "It must have hurt so much. Shayne practically hit you as though he wanted you dead. You're his son, not his enemy. Did he really have to go that far?"Zach didn't argue and simply said, "Maybe his brain's gone bad now that he's all alone because he lost his wife due to his stupidity. And now, he doesn't want his child either."Maisy raised an eyebrow and looked at Zach. "I think so."Seeing that his grandmother agreed with him, Zach grinned widely. But his face hurt a lot. The moment he smiled, he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.…Shayne sat alone in his car. After hanging up and comforting Luna, he finally felt a little better.Because of Lun

But Luna had no intention of exposing him. After all, her goal was to spend Shayne's money.As long as Shayne was willing to support her, that was all that mattered. She didn't care about anything else.Still uneasy, Shayne reminded again, "So, we've agreed—you can't be with other men.""You can rest assured about that. As long as you're willing to support me, of course, I'm happy to maintain this arrangement," replied Luna patiently. The most important thing was that Shayne never interfered with any of her decisions. And he didn't live with her. She had plenty of time to build relationships with other men.Even if Aralyn really was foolish enough to break up with Julian and go back to Shayne, it wouldn't affect Luna much.At the very least, she could still act pitiful in front of Rowan and make him take her in.Before doing anything, Luna always liked to leave herself a way out.…Zach pushed open the door and walked into the living room with his head down.Maisy heard the

Luna thought for a moment and decided to provoke Shayne first.After all, she couldn't win Julian over, and she needed time with Rowan.Neither of them could give her money.And Shayne—her cash machine—was about to slip out of her control, so she decided to use some small tricks to make Shayne continue to spend money on her willingly.Having thought of an idea, she took out her phone and sent Shayne a message. "Since you want to reconcile with Aralyn, then I should be able to find a new boyfriend, right?"Men had a very strong sense of possessiveness over women who once belonged to them.Luna knew very well that when she acted as if she loved Shayne, he probably didn't think much of it.But once she showed that she was about to leave him, Shayne would definitely panic."You know how high maintenance I am. If I don't find someone to support me, the allowance you give me probably won't be enough."Shayne thought about Luna's words.She was indeed quite extravagant. She was alwa

"Probably," Shayne replied casually.Luna frowned and asked, "You don't seem alright. What happened?"Shayne confessed honestly, "I went to see a psychologist recently. And then I suddenly realized that ever since I was with Aralyn until now, all I did was do the wrong thing. Luna…"Shayne's voice was filled with pain. "How could I be so stupid? How could I only realize the problem when it's gotten to this point?"Luna heard the hint of sadness in his voice and had a bad feeling about it. "Why are you suddenly saying this?"Shayne was broken, but he couldn't vent to anyone.If Luna hadn't called, he was afraid he would have lost his mind.Shayne said through his tears, "When a person makes a mistake, the first thing they should do is solve the problem. Then, they must apologize and find a way to make amends."But what is this? Why am I trying to provoke her by contacting you? That will only drive her further away from me."Shayne wiped the tears from his face.Luna didn't kno
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 540
Luna wasn't actually thinking of going back to him just because she knew he had money. She wasn't aiming to live a good life with him.She was simply keeping her options open but would prioritize the one that benefitted her the most.If Julian became interested in her, she would immediately leave him and Shayne behind to be with Julian.A sense of bitterness surged in Rowan's heart.He suddenly found himself, the one who had wavered earlier, to be utterly pathetic.Luna hadn't spoken a single truthful word.Naturally, she wasn't worthy of his genuine feelings.Rowan couldn't understand how she could say she loved him one second and then flirt with other men the next.His eyes stung, and everything started to blur. Then, tears ran down his cheeks."I'm with Aralyn and Willow," Rowan replied.Luna almost threw her phone away in frustration. Why? She had driven Aralyn out of Shayne's house. How could Aralyn still meet men from wealthy backgrounds?How could she have a thoughtfu
