Chapter 475

Author: Walking on Clouds
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 However, that had been replaced by ease and joy today.

    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

    "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

    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

    "Mom, can you please divorce Dad?"It was 9:00 pm. I was trying to put Zach to sleep. Just when I thought he was about to drift off, he suddenly asked that question.That short question left me stunned for a long minute. My hand patting on his back also froze.I felt a painful twinge in my chest.Over the years, my relationship with my child's father had been pretty good. Logically, a child nurtured by love should feel happy living in such an environment.And yet…Why did he have such thoughts?Puzzled, I asked, "Why do you say that?" I softened my voice in case I unintentionally scared him."You never let me eat fried chicken or ice cream..."As he was almost asleep, his voice was unclear and tinged with the innocence typical of his age.I didn't know whether to feel amused or disappointed.To think that he wanted me to divorce his dad because of something so trivial...Children sure were naive.As I listened to his breathing gradually grow steady, I knew he had fallen as

    With the tablet in my hands, I left Zach's bedroom and headed straight for Shayne's study.But I couldn't understand...Out of everyone, why Luna?The first time I heard about Luna was at my wedding.Shayne treated me well back then. When I was feeling down, he would tell me it was okay, and that nobody was perfect. He would patiently stay with me until I felt better. When I got sick, he would drop everything to take care of me.Because of that, I resolutely decided to marry for love, even if that meant moving far away from home.Just as I was in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet that signified purity and looking forward to our life together, I overheard his friends discussing his first love."I always thought Shayne and Luna would end up together. They were so passionately in love back then.""Exactly. They looked like a match made in heaven.""What a pity."The regret in their voices was genuine.At that moment, I began to doubt whether Shayne truly loved me.

    Shayne's other hand pinched my chin, forcing me not to evade, and then his lips pressed down on mine."You'll like it."…Zach was in the senior class of kindergarten.School started at 8:00 am every day.It took about 20 minutes to drive to the kindergarten. To avoid being late, he would leave home at 7:30 am every day.I, on the other hand, got up at 6:30 am to cook breakfast.Today's breakfast was a bit simpler. It was ravioli that I prepared last night.The broth was the troublesome part. I needed to simmer fresh chicken broth.I lay bay leaves at the bottom of the ceramic pot, placed a whole cleaned chicken inside, and finally placed a few sprigs of thyme on top. I then covered it and turned the heat to high.Once the water boiled, I lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of chicken broth wafted up to greet me.After adding a bit of salt, I turn the heat down to simmer.Now that I was done with this, I happily left the kitchen and went to the dressing room to help the boys

    Did Shayne write Luna this letter on the eve of our wedding?The other letter was Luna's reply to him."I'm sending back your letter with mine. Shayne, I am happy now. I hope you wish me happiness. And please don't contact me in the future; I'm afraid my husband will misunderstand."After I read these two letters, I could connect almost all the information in a way that made sense.Luna was clearly Shayne's first love. And yet, Shayne hated Luna so much.I subconsciously tightened my grip on the mop.So, it was because Luna had once betrayed Shayne. However, he convinced himself not to dwell on the mistakes Luna had made or the hurt she had caused him. All he wanted was for her to return to him.Unfortunately, Luna still rejected him.It was only at this moment that I finally understood why he was so emotional when his friends mentioned Luna at our wedding.But what about now?Why did he bring out these two letters?Was he trying to remind himself of Luna's heartlessness a

    What?That short sentence left me in shock. I couldn't regain my composure for a long time.I only stared at Shayne in disbelief.He said he took Zach to his mother's place, didn't he?Zach's grandmother should know about Zach's condition. She wouldn't let Zach eat just anything.So, why was Zach in the hospital?And how did Luna know about Zach's condition?"Which hospital is it?" Shayne hurriedly picked up the clothes that had fallen on the floor and put them on in a panic.Luna cried on the phone while telling him the name of the hospital.Worried about Zach, I could only follow behind Shayne.It was then that Shayne noticed my presence.I knew my expression was grim as if I was on the verge of exploding, but I ultimately held it in.He opened the car door and got in immediately.I also got into the passenger seat.We were silent the entire journey.My head, messy with information, slowly started to clear up during this 20-minute journey.In other words, Shayne was s

    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?""

    Alice couldn't understand Joseph's mindset. I asked tentatively, "Could it be that he thinks that his family will help him resolve it no matter what kind of trouble he causes? Is that why he's so fearless?"Alice nodded as she spoke, "That's possible."I laughed and said, "He just didn't expect that his family couldn't even protect themselves this time, and the only project that could have saved them was handed over to your family."Upon hearing my words, Alice couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle her laughter. "If I were his family, I'd regret it immensely."I replied cheerfully, "Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now."Alice grinned, flashing her teeth. She was about to continue the conversation when her phone alarm suddenly went off. She scrambled to her feet. "Time for work!"I stood up and reminded her, "Work hard."She agreed to do so as she rushed out.…Lucas sat in his office, leisurely listening to his secretary report the latest updates.The secret

    Julian merely stared at me. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated to speak."What do you want to say to me?" I asked."Aren't you jealous?" he replied.I was even more confused. "Jealous of what?"Julian hesitated before saying, "If I'm going to mentor Serena properly, I'll interact with her more.""I trust you, and I trust her too," I said firmly. "Since you've chosen me, you won't suddenly fall for someone else. Besides, she doesn't even trust her own family, only herself. She's even less likely to believe a man can change her fate, so I don't think she'll fall in love with you."Hearing my answer, Julian still seemed a bit dissatisfied. "But I want to see you get jealous."I laughed and played along. "If I see you getting close to another woman... I might feel a little uncomfortable."Julian's gaze softened as he looked at me. "But the one I love is you."I was surprised.Julian stroked my hair gently. "I'm heading back to work now.""Okay."…I was

    Mark continued, "The solution her family came up with was to marry her off. They would then ask for money from her husband to treat her mother. She does want her mother to get better, but she doesn't want to sell herself. "She heard that our company was recruiting employees for overseas training and there would be a high allowance. As such, she volunteered."Mark didn't have the chance to share this earlier. Besides, when Serena was present, he felt it was inappropriate to discuss it in front of her. He thus waited until now to fill us in.He continued, "As for the allowance, the company has already disbursed it to her. She used it to pay the hospital fees for her mother and then lied to her family, saying it was money from her fiance. However, said fiance wanted her to move in with him immediately."She wanted to test her family's reaction. In the end, they told her to go and not upset him. When she saw that her family didn't care about her situation and showed no concern for her
