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 froze."Dad, do you need me to remind you how you've treated me since you divorced Mom?"Zach used to feel heartbroken when he thought about everything that had happened during that time. But he came to terms with it eventually.Aralyn had stayed by Shayne's side when he was broke, giving her all unconditionally. But in Shayne's eyes, Aralyn was always just a useless housewife.When his first love came back, Shayne discarded Aralyn without hesitation.What did that make him?Shayne opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. "Luna mistreated me. I told you honestly about the things she did to me, but all you thought was that I had something against Luna. You even started arguments with me over her," Zach said expressionlessly.He then laughed. "Then, after I moved out of the house, I was finally free from Luna's abuse. But you and Grandma preferred Luna's child. You even told me outright that you wouldn't give me a single penny anymore."When Zach first heard those wor

As Julian's subordinate who followed Julian almost the entire way, he knew about Julian's capabilities clearly. In terms of work, he was unparalleled. No matter how difficult the problem was, Julian would always be the first to think of a solution.Mark admired Julian very much. He also always wondered what kind of woman Julian would like.Did he like pretty women, women with a good personality, or…However, he never thought that Julian would like a divorced woman who had a child. Therefore, when Julian first brought Aralyn to the company, he was somewhat dissatisfied with her. He didn't think she was worthy of Julian.But as he interacted with her more often, he suddenly realized that she seemed to be even better than he had imagined.She was very emotionally stable, and her mind wasn't clouded by nonsensical thoughts. She was also always firm. Most importantly, her problem-solving ability was also on par with Julian's. Moreover, she was very gentle yet powerful.Mark now vaguel

Lucas even said that Joseph was now an adult and could take responsibility for his own choices. Hence, from now on, whatever Joseph did would have nothing to do with Lucas. The latter would not interfere.After I read the public statement, my only feeling about this was that Lucas was deeply hurt this time. He had probably given up on Joseph.After Alice read the statement, she grinned from ear to ear. "He was abandoned by his biological father. His future is going to be miserable!""There's no need to wait," Mark said quietly. He then added, "Ever since he was kicked out of the house by his father, his days haven't been too good. Stella, who initially said that she loved him and was pregnant, suddenly broke up with him after he lost the Wilson family's backing. She even told him the pregnancy was fake and that she had been lying to him."Joseph didn't believe her. He grabbed her shoulders and said she had told him she loved him. Stella slapped his hands away in disgust and said

"Mr. Wilson's company was already having major financial problems. They almost went under. It was Mr. York and Mr. Hughes who returned all the money he had previously advanced to them. Only then did he get the chance to cover the current lack of funds," said Mark.He continued, "However, he didn't manage to hold on to the money for long as his precious son had borrowed more funds than he currently had on hand! If he really covered Joseph's debts, the family might actually go bankrupt."These events had just happened recently. Once Mark learned about it, he couldn't wait to share it with someone. Luckily for him, he found people to share it with.Alice asked in disbelief, "How is it possible for such a useless son to exist?"She had always thought she spent too much money herself and wasn't much help to her parents. That was already bad enough in her eyes. However, Joseph's actions blew her mind.Looking at herself in comparison, she thought she was pretty great. Mark sighed. "Ye

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
