Zach lowered his head unconsciously.Maisy sighed, reaching out to tousle his soft hair. "Silly child, you need to remember that no matter what, I will always stand by your side."Zach met Maisy's gaze, and for a moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to cry.He nodded heavily. "Thank you, Granny. You're the best to me!"After saying that, Zach couldn't help but feel puzzled.Maisy treated him so well, so why had he been distant from her before?Was it because of Charlotte?Charlotte often said awful things to him, like how Aralyn and Maisy were from a poor family.She claimed the two of them couldn't earn money and just wanted to latch onto their family like parasites.But now Zach realized the flaws in Charlotte's words.He remembered that when Aralyn and Shayne first got together, Shayne wasn't wealthy either.It was only with Aralyn's support that Shayne made money slowly.Yet, after Shayne became successful, Charlotte seemed to forget the years of hardship she and Shayne

Zach smiled and explained, "Because I want to be ahead of the other kids. If I finish reviewing all the elementary school materials in advance, I won't feel so much pressure when I get to elementary school."These were things Daphne had told him, and he thought she made a lot of sense."While others are struggling to learn in elementary school, I'll already be preparing for middle school and high school. This way, when I actually get to middle and high school, things will be so much easier for me."While others are buried in homework, working hard to understand things, I'll already know everything and have plenty of time to play."Listening to Zach, Maisy couldn't help but feel that what he said made sense."You're growing up, Zach," she commented smilingly.Zach just smiled before waving to Maisy and walking toward his bedroom.Maisy watched his figure disappear."What a sensible child," she thought.It was a pity that Aralyn and Zach were no longer together. Otherwise, when

At that time, he had been brimming with confidence, believing that Luna was his true love. He thought that successfully being with the person he had secretly admired for years would make his future as sweet as honey.But the reality was completely different from his fantasies.Shayne let out a helpless, bitter laugh.He could only maintain a certain distance from Luna as if getting even slightly closer would bring him discomfort.By the time he realized this, it was already too late to regret it.No…Shayne closed his eyes.He still had a chance.Julian also had a first love. When his first love reappeared in his life, Julian would undoubtedly abandon Aralyn for her.At that moment, Shayne could show up in front of Aralyn, and she would surely be moved by him.What he needed to do now was to occasionally show up in Aralyn's life, ensuring that she wouldn't forget him. This thought had surfaced countless times in Shayne's mind. But he didn't feel annoyed by it in the sligh

Shayne roughly understood what Luna meant but didn't show it. "Oh?""I want to invest all that money into my work. If the marketing is effective, then everyone across the country will know how much money you spent and how much effort you put into promoting my work. This way, you will have a better reputation."Aralyn would also realize how generous he could be to the people he cared about."How about 50 million?" Shayne raised the amount decisively.Luna's heart raced wildly. She had never imagined that she only needed to say a few words to make Shayne willing to add another 40 million.But she didn't rush to accept as a crazy idea flashed through her mind, making her heart nearly leap out of her chest. Cold sweat even formed on her forehead.She feared that if she stated the figure she had in mind, Shayne would think she was too greedy and refuse to give her anything.But she wanted to give it a shot.If Shayne agreed, she would have a fortune in her hands.Luna feigned nonch

It was probably because it was nighttime and Luna's voice was soft that Shayne was uncharacteristically moved. "Don't worry. Even if Aralyn and I really reconcile, I won't ignore you and the child."Luna almost rolled her eyes as she thought, "If you take care of me and the child, how am I supposed to be with Julian?"Of course, she didn't say it out loud as she replied, "But if it really comes to that and you still keep in touch with me, Aralyn won't be happy. For your future, maybe it's better if you keep your distance from me.""What about the child?" Shayne wasn't about to give up his own child.Luna nearly blurted out that the child wasn't his, but she swallowed the words at the last moment. "If you want to see the child, you can come by occasionally."Shayne fell silent."But it's probably better if you don't visit. Otherwise, she'll get jealous and think you still care about me.""Give me some time to think it over," replied Shayne."Alright." Luna smiled in satisfacti

Logically, Luna should be asleep by now. Yet, she was still chatting energetically with Julian. However, Rowan was the one using Julian's account.Luna had been sowing discord between Julian and Aralyn right under his nose the whole time. Through the difference between Luna's attitudes toward him and Julian, he easily saw her true nature.Rowan turned off the screen. Even so, he had to admit that Luna was brilliant and knew how to play the long game. Although he had no money left, she was still willing to take the time and effort to deal with him.He had once naively believed that the reason Luna was willing to stay in touch with him was because she loved him and couldn't let go of him. That was why she kept reaching out to him on and off. Perhaps he was more important than money in her heart.Rowan chuckled. Pain welled up within him, making it hard to breathe. However, the truth was that Luna was only willing to spend time interacting with him because she wanted to secure the m

Luna's eyes were filled with longing. If she managed to win Julian's heart, would he treat her that well? Would he protect her unconditionally? Would he...Luna bit her lip shyly.Would he spend all his money on her?...Once I returned to my bedroom, I turned on the desk lamp and sat at my desk. I drew for some time and only stopped once I was a little tired.I reached up to pull back the curtain. It was pitch black outside the window. The sound of insects came and went. The silence was comforting.I stood up and leaned against the window, taking in the view outside.I had been constantly harassed lately, and I couldn't help but feel irritable. However, when I forced myself to face these things, I suddenly realized something. The more annoyed I was, the more it proved that they had succeeded, right? As such, what I needed to do now was find a way to free myself from their influence. I started relaxing gradually.I now had a child who loved me and a husband who was willing

Unfortunately, I gave birth to a son. This meant that the skills I had learned couldn't be used.Now, I had a daughter. I could tie her hair beautifully every day.I braided Willow's hair into a bun. She then looked in the mirror and saw her hair all tied up, revealing her cute and round face. She blinked and exclaimed, "Who's kid is this? She's too cute!" My mood couldn't help but become better upon seeing her compliment herself. I played along and said, "Probably our family's, right?"Willow turned to look at me. "You must be really lucky then."I had no idea where she picked it up, but her tone was like that of an adult. Even so, it had that childishness unique to children. It was especially cute.I couldn't resist and pinched her little cheeks. "That's right. People are definitely envious of me for having such a wonderful daughter."Willow nodded. "And all the other kids must be jealous of me too, for having such an amazing mom like you."She then added, "I love you, Mommy

Seeing that no matter what they said, Luna remained unmoved, Shannon slowed her speech. "We're actually here to ask you to get back with Rowan.""Sorry, that thought has completely left my mind," replied Luna."If that's why you're here, then you should leave. I have work to do, so I won't be chatting with you any longer."Luna walked to the door and opened it. "You can go now."Shannon looked at Patrick.Patrick said coolly, "I don't even care that you're pregnant with Shayne's child anymore. In fact, if you get back together with Rowan, we can treat this child as one of our own. I hope you don't miss out on such a great opportunity.""That's not a great opportunity for me. When I didn't have a job back then, I thought being a housewife was a good life. I didn't have to worry about making money—I just had to take care of the household. But I realized it wasn't like that at all."Earning my own money is much better than relying on someone else to give it to me. This way, I don't

"But I remember his place is pretty far from mine," Luna said, puzzled.Patrick sat down on the couch, looking at Luna. "Mainly, we figured since we came all this way to see Rowan, we might as well check in on you, too."Luna was even more confused. "Check in on me? Why?"Instead of answering her, Patrick asked, "You're pregnant."Luna glanced down at her stomach, then replied, "So what? I've been divorced from Rowan for so long, and I've been with Shayne for quite a while now. It's perfectly normal that I'm pregnant. You guys hated me before."Back then, you were eager for me to be with someone else. Now that I am, you guys should be happy."Luna sat down as well. When she was with Rowan, she had always been respectful in front of Patrick and Shannon.She had always seen them as family and worked hard to earn their approval.But no matter what she did, it was never enough.For a long time, Luna wondered if she was doing something wrong.But after the divorce—and after she wa

When I found out Serena didn't have a job yet, an idea immediately came to mind. "I actually started a new company. We're hiring. The salary during the probation period is ten thousand dollars a month, with weekends and all national holidays off. And if you perform well, there's a big commission on top of that."I was about to add more when Mark sent me a photo. It was a payroll statement.Right after that, he sent a voice message. "Take a look at how much they've earned in commissions!"I tapped on the image. The company didn't have many employees yet, but every single one of them had already made over a million in commission—some even over five million.The amusement in my eyes deepened as I replied, "I hope they'll take home even more next month."Mark responded without hesitation, "At the rate sales are going, doubling it shouldn't be a problem."After reading his messages, I finally put my phone down and looked at Serena. "But of course, it all depends on our product sales.

In the cafe, I looked at the young woman sitting across from me and asked, "What's your name?"She was sipping her milk tea. When she heard my question, she quickly looked up and replied, "My name is Serena Towson. You can call me Serena. I used to stay in the ward next to yours."I was a bit puzzled. "Then, how do you know I was framed?"Serena took a deep breath, lowering her head. "Actually, I should be apologizing to you for this.""Why are you apologizing?" I asked in confusion.Serena didn't answer. She looked uneasy as she kept looking down, pushing her phone toward me.On the screen was a voice recording.I tapped play.It was a conversation between Luna and someone else. "I need you to avoid the surveillance cameras and spill oil in that area. Do you hear me?"The other person seemed doubtful about Luna's plan. "If we do that, it'll be hard to clean up, and people will definitely notice something's off!""Don't pour too much. Just pour enough so she'll fall when she

I looked around and saw that there was no one else around before turning to leave."Are you Aralyn?"I heard someone call my name and turned around to see a stranger.A little confused, I asked, "Yes?""I heard from someone at the hospital that you went there before, trying to find proof that Luna was the one who framed you. Isn't that right?" The woman seemed nervous.I had been trying to get evidence for this for a long time, but after so much effort, I hadn't found anything.At this point, I was about to give up on that approach.After all, I had other ways to get back at Luna and Shayne.Hearing what she said, I was surprised. "What, you have proof?""Yes, I do," she said firmly.If I could really get my hands on that kind of evidence, my revenge would be even more ruthless.But I knew that in situations like this, it was important to stay calm. "Why don't we talk about it at a cafe?"The woman hesitated.I smiled. "Do you have time?"Only then did she nod. "Of course

I wanted Shayne to care about Luna, and when Luna gave birth to the baby who wasn't his, Shayne would be immensely devastated, especially since Luna and Charlotte had even forced Shayne into getting a vasectomy.Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder if Luna and Charlotte were on my side.Charlotte looked confused. "Good?"I nodded. "Yes, good."Charlotte studied me. "If he and Luna are doing well, that means he doesn't want you anymore.""Then so be it." I had long since stopped caring about Shayne.Charlotte fell silent.I met her gaze. "I'm married now. Maybe I didn't inform you, but Julian and I are legally married. We just haven't made it public. After being with Julian, I've felt a kind of security that I never had in my previous relationship."So, I also hope that this marriage will last. Of course, it'd be even better for me if all of you stopped bothering me."With that, I was ready to end the conversation. "Anything else you wanted to say? If not, I'll head upstairs."

"Then, do we really need to give them commissions?"I didn't mind. "Yeah, go ahead. If they see that hard work pays off in our company, they'll be more willing to stay, right?""Yeah." Mark chuckled."I get what you're saying. I'll take care of it now.""Alright."After the call ended, Julian walked over to me and held my hand.I gently rubbed his hand in return. "What is it?""Your career is getting more and more successful," Julian said, a bit emotionally.When we first got together, I had nothing—just myself.But over time, I started drawing comics.With the right promotion, my comics gained traction and became a hit.That led to merchandise, trendy collectibles.But Julian never expected that I'd be able to launch my own plushies, start my own company, and make serious money.He always knew I was capable.But seeing me rise back to my peak in such a short time still surprised him.I smiled. "Yeah. Back when I was penniless and kicked out of my house, I never would've

"My plan is to take advantage of the fact that our comic still has some merchandise and the hype hasn't died down yet. While ensuring quality, we'll speed up production as much as possible."I understood what Julian meant. "Alright.""Should I arrange it now?" Julian asked."Sure."Julian took his phone and went out to the balcony to share his thoughts with Mark.As someone who had been working with Julian for years, Mark immediately understood what Julian meant. "Leave it to me."Still, to make sure he didn't misinterpret any details, he confirmed everything with Julian.Only after making sure there were no issues did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and ask Julian to hand me the phone."Yes?" I asked, confused about why he needed to speak to me."Our company's recruitment is pretty much done. I ran the numbers, and with our current profits, we can afford to raise the salaries of our interns," he quickly informed."Since you're bringing this up, that means you already hav

Shannon looked at Patrick.Patrick said, "Tell Rowan to win Luna back. She married someone else out of heartbreak, and that's because of us. Now we have money and are willing to spend it on her. I believe she'll come around. She'll want to come back and be with us again. It just takes time."Patrick wasn't used to staying in such a small place, so he said to Rowan, "Drive us to the hotel.""Alright."Rowan dropped his parents off at the hotel and then returned to his place. Sitting on the couch, he took out his phone and pulled up a photo of Luna.She was sitting by the ocean, turning her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling and filled with love.Rowan couldn't understand how things had gotten to this point.He picked up his phone and texted Luna. "I finally understand why my parents treated you that way back then.""I've known for a while," Luna replied calmly.Rowan was a little surprised. "You knew?""Yeah, I found out a few days ago. But that's your family's issue. It
