The employees at the company all treated me with great respect. No matter what they were working on, they would always seek my opinion first.When Luna pulled me down to climb the ranks, they sought my approval before using the opportunity for counter-marketing. Now, with Charlotte's scandal being exposed, they were still doing the same.Without hesitation, I said, "You're helping me make money. Of course, I'll agree unconditionally."Mark hesitated for a moment before saying, "We were just worried that using Charlotte's negative news for a promotion might cause you to recall bad memories."It was only after everyone saw the news that they truly understood the kind of life I had in Shayne's household. While they recognized the rare promotional opportunity, they were also concerned about my feelings.I chuckled and said, "It won't. It's all in the past, so I won't dwell on it."Mark felt relieved after hearing this. "Then I'll reply to the marketing team.""Alright."…Mark rel

Luna was at home. She had been in a good mood, watching the steady rise in sales of her comics. But in the blink of an eye, she saw that Charlotte was trending, followed immediately by Aralyn and her comics on the trending page.Luna sat up in alarm and opened Aralyn's comic storefront. She was so furious that she almost threw her phone when she saw that Aralyn's sales were climbing even faster than hers.Why? Her sales only increased after she had spent over a million dollars, yet Aralyn was already catching up just by trending.Luna couldn't stand the idea of Aralyn making more money than her. She wanted to contact the marketing team again to help hype up her comic, but she was worried that Aralyn would take advantage of her. As such, she suppressed the urge for now.She paced around in the living room and finally came up with a solution. She headed straight to the garage and, with a calm expression, told the driver, "Take me to Shayne's office.""Alright," replied the driver.

Luna wanted to watch the show.…When Shayne arrived downstairs at Hughes Group, it just so happened to be lunchtime. Julian and I were heading down to find a restaurant for lunch when we saw Shayne standing at the entrance of Hughes Group, blocking the way.Julian said softly in my ear, "He's probably here because of his mother's situation.""I figured as much," I said, slowing my pace.When Shayne saw me, he strode over. There was suppressed anger in his voice as he asked, "Aralyn, what exactly are you trying to do?""Me?" I asked, amused. "I'm not trying to do anything, Shayne. I have no idea what you're talking about."Shayne pulled out his phone and opened the news about Charlotte. He raised it as if he was going to hit my face with it. It was a humiliating action.I remained calm, intending to block his hand. However, Julian acted first. He grabbed Shayne's arm and said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hit her."Shayne was furious.

"So?" I sneered in response.Shayne stared at me. He didn't seem to know how to answer this question.I said slowly, "We no longer care for each other, so why would I care about a former mother-in-law who only knew how to bully me? I hope you can understand that."With that, I took Julian's hand. "Let's go eat.""Alright."Shayne watched me as I left. He still sounded frustrated when he said, "Aralyn, you'll regret this.""I won't," I replied with no intention of pausing my steps. "Shayne, I'll never regret it."…Luna was secretly watching this from the back. It didn't play out as she had imagined. She realized that even if she uploaded the video she had recorded, it would only end up boosting Aralyn's popularity. She deleted the video from her phone without hesitation.She scoffed.She had no intention of doing anything that would benefit Aralyn.…The restaurant we chose had small portions, so the two of us ordered four dishes.As soon as the server left, Mark sat down

Mark put down his phone and explained, "Besides, the price of the comic is very affordable, so almost anyone can buy it. That's why the sales are a little higher compared to other merchandise."I put my hands on my face and exclaimed, "These results are amazing!""They are," Mark agreed. "I'm guessing Luna and her team will stir up some trouble later. On top of that, with our own marketing efforts and overseas sales, our will definitely be impressive regardless if it's for the merchandise or the comic."I smiled and asked, "So, I'm just waiting to get paid?"Mark glanced at me. "Speaking of getting paid… You might want to check your balance. Today's payday."As he spoke, he looked at Julian, as if seeking confirmation. "Right?"Julian didn't deny it. "That's correct."Hearing this, I quickly checked my account balance, and my eyes widened in disbelief.Before taxes, the amount was over three million dollars. After taxes, I received more than 1.6 million dollars.Mark grinned a

Before I could respond, Mark let out a pained groan from the side. "You two are so lovey-dovey. Have you ever considered how I feel?"I turned to him and asked, "Do you not have a girlfriend yet?"Mark chuckled bitterly. "Obviously not. Spending every day glued to Mr. Hughes' side and working overtime leaves me no time for a girlfriend."I looked at Julian. "Should we give him some time off so he can find a girlfriend when things are less hectic?"Julian didn't object. "Sure."Mark pondered for a moment but shook his head. "Forget it. For now, I just want to focus on making money."Julian didn't press further and simply said, "Having more money in hand does give you more confidence no matter what you're doing."Mark smiled sheepishly....Shayne booked an appointment with a psychologist. He was seated in the psychologist's office, looking at him.The psychologist was eating, and they stared at each other in awkward silence. Finally, the doctor said, "I didn't expect you to ar
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 498
The psychologist didn't answer Shayne's question directly. Instead, he asked, "Are you willing to spend money on Aralyn now?"Shayne was stumped by the question. He thought carefully about what the psychologist said.Spend money on Aralyn? How much?The psychologist continued, "You said it would make you upset to see her with someone else. But compared to Luna marrying someone else, which would hurt more?"After hearing the psychologist's questions, Shayne suddenly realized that he had never thought about these things before.The psychologist added, "Once you understand the questions I just asked, you need to figure out whether you truly want her back and remarry her because you love her or if it's purely because you can't stand to see her living a good life."The psychologist continued, "Or perhaps it's because her care made you feel comfortable. But in your eyes, her efforts were only worth that of a housekeeper's, so you're only willing to give her a housekeeper's wage. As for

Julian quickly skimmed through the storyline. Although he wasn't familiar with romance comics, he felt that this comic might yield better results. He tapped his fingers lightly on the computer, saying nothing.Watching his serious expression, I felt a bit nervous and asked, "What is it? Is it not good?"No," Julian denied. "On the contrary, it's excellent.""Huh?" I replied, surprised.If it was so good, then why did he look so serious?Julian turned to me and said, "Take your time drawing this comic. Once the content for the first volume is ready, we'll release the animation and the publication simultaneously. The company will arrange for a major promotional campaign. We'll fight to make your comic the best-selling work of the year."I looked at his confident expression. For reasons unknown, I suddenly believed him. I couldn't help but smile as I replied, "Okay."Julian raised his hand and gently patted my head. His usually cold eyes were now full of warmth.He said unhurriedl

Shayne was unwilling to give up and wanted to talk more. But whenever he tried, Aralyn would find an excuse to leave.Bitterness filled Shayne.He persisted day after day, treating Aralyn well bit by bit. After a long time, Aralyn was finally moved.She finally agreed to date him.But what happened after that?As their relationship deepened, he should have normally fallen in love with Aralyn and naturally stepped into marriage with her.But there was no such memory in Shayne's mind.Their relationship suddenly took a strange turn—Aralyn was the one pursuing him, while he was always avoiding her.Shayne frowned, seriously trying to recall what had happened.It was probably the day before he decided to forget about Luna and sincerely start a life with Aralyn when Luna called him.She said she was living a hard life and wanted to come back and reconcile with him.The smile on Shayne's face gradually turned bitter.At that time, Rowan was still incredibly wealthy. His family sh

The living room was spacious and bright.The food on the dining table was already cold.Even the candles had burned down completely.Aralyn sat quietly at the table. It was only when she heard his footsteps that she lifted her head and looked at him."Didn't you say you would come back to celebrate our anniversary with me? Why are you only back now?" she questioned.It was only then that Shayne realized he hadn't even told Aralyn where he had been.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, honey. Something came up at work; I was swamped. I couldn't come back and be with you. I'm really sorry."At the time, Shayne had still been serious about maintaining this family.Aralyn stared straight at him, her eyes carrying a calmness as if she saw through everything. "Are you sure you were working? You know I don't like being lied to. If you're lying, you know what happens."For some reason, Shayne had suddenly chickened out. "I went to pick up a friend."Aralyn didn't show whether she belie

In the past, I would never have dared to imagine that a plush doll I casually designed could turn out so well."Wait a minute."A thought suddenly struck me, and I stared at Julian.Julian didn't understand why I had such an expression on my face."Since the animation can release an entire series of products, then can't my plush dolls also be made into smaller versions? Or maybe I could launch a whole line of merchandise like mugs, keychains, and so on?"Julian hadn't considered this before, but after hearing what I said, he replied, "That could work.""I'll tell Mark right away!" I exclaimed excitedly, about to sit up and grab my phone. But when I glanced at the time, I realized it was too late.Although Mark was dedicated to his work, it didn't seem right to bring this up so late at night.I had no choice but to suppress my excitement and lie back down. "I'll tell him tomorrow."Julian looked at me with deep affection. "Alright."He raised his hand and stroked my hair. "Ara

Did he have to tell Luna that he wouldn't separate from her and Mason in the future?No.Shayne had already decided he loved Aralyn. He couldn't waver anymore.Remaining silent for a long time, Shayne said, "You're right."Luna hadn't expected Shayne to respond like this. She was momentarily stunned and immediately sat up, staring at him in disbelief."So, should I still take him out tomorrow?" Shayne asked.Luna finally realized that all her previous tactics were useless against Shayne now. "Go ahead, or you'll disappoint him since you've already promised him."Shayne didn't refuse. "Alright."Luna helped Shayne find some clothes and then led him to the master bedroom. "Are you planning to sleep in the same room as me tonight, or…"Shayne shook his head. "I'll stay by myself. If Aralyn finds out, she'll definitely be upset."This was exactly what Luna wanted to hear; she didn't want to sleep with him either."Then, I'll sleep in the guest bedroom tonight. Get some rest."W

"You were by Mason's side, and you treated him well. He was happy."Luna lowered her eyes, her gaze incredibly gentle. "He thinks you're the best dad in the world."Shayne suddenly felt a bit guilty.He hadn't been a good husband and father."But I wasn't good to him," he replied softly.Luna felt it was time for Shayne to bond with Mason. "He doesn't think so. Why don't I call him over? You can ask him."Shayne thought that was a good idea. Kids understood other kids' feelings best. "Then I'll trouble you with that.""Alright." Luna got up and walked forward while holding her belly.Shayne sat where he was, feeling a bit anxious.Luna walked to Mason's bedroom door and knocked. "Mason, Dad's here!"Upon hearing that, Mason was thrilled and rushed out of his room. But when he saw Shayne not far away, his expression froze. Then, he turned to look at Luna.He had thought his biological dad was here.Luna patted Mason's back gently.Mason instantly understood what Luna meant

Thinking it was Yasmin again, Luna grew a bit annoyed. But she still forced a smile. "Why are you here again?"Shayne narrowed his eyes instinctively. "Again? Was someone else here just now?""Yasmin." Luna stepped aside to let Shayne in. Her belly was already quite large, and she had to support her waist while walking."She said she wants to pursue Julian and asked me for some advice."After saying that, she realized her tone toward Shayne had been a bit cold.Hence, she softened her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?""I want to ask you some questions about kids," Shayne answered."Kids? I know a lot about kids." Luna placed her hand on her belly, stroking it gently.As she spoke, she pulled Shayne's arm, making him sit beside her. "But before you ask me anything, come and listen first. Our baby should have a heartbeat by now."Shayne no longer felt love for Luna, but he couldn't deny that he still cared a lot about the baby.It was his baby, after all.He pressed

Maisy stared at Shayne.Shayne remained silent for a long time before saying, "No matter what, he's my son.""So, now you consider him your son? Too late! I'm warning you, the only reason you got to talk to him today is because I didn't notice you in time! If I catch you near Zach again, I won't let you off!" Maisy snapped.For Shayne, Zach was the only connection left between him and Aralyn.If he lost Zach too, then he would truly have nothing.Shayne looked straight at Maisy and said, "But do you have the right to interfere? You're his grandmother. I'm his father. It's already kind enough of me to let him live with you."Maisy almost laughed in anger. "Me? Interfering? First of all, you were the one who gave up custody of Zach. You were also the one who refused to give him a single cent! And now you're telling me this? Do I look like a pushover?"She had managed to carve out her own path after her divorce, despite Donald trying to blacklist her from the industry.That alone

Shayne followed behind Zach into the bedroom, only to discover that the entire room was covered with photos of Aralyn.Every wall was plastered with them.He stood there, stunned.On the desk, a small robot said in Aralyn's uniquely gentle voice, "You're home, sweetheart."Shayne looked over in disbelief.Zach sat in front of the robot, looking at it with a smile. "Yes, Mom, I'm home.""Welcome home," said the robot softly."But there's an unwelcome guest in the house," Zach said.The little robot immediately suggested, "Why don't we call someone else over to kick him out?"Zach looked at Shayne.His longing for Aralyn had only gotten better because of the robot and the countless photos surrounding him.But when he noticed Shayne was also staring at the robot, his expression darkened. "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here. Please leave."Shayne stood there, dazed. "Can I ask who gave you this robot?""No, you can't," Zach replied sternly.Shayne averted his gaze and

Yasmin narrowed her eyes.So, Luna had indeed pursued Julian.Yasmin found it oddly amusing.Since Luna was also interested in Julian, would she really help Yasmin sincerely?Yasmin wasn't sure, but she decided to put it aside for now.Either way, she would just stay vigilant.…Zach returned home, only to see Shayne standing at the door. He merely glanced at Shayne before looking away and pushing the door open to enter the house.Shayne followed behind him.As soon as Zach stepped inside, he intended to close the door.But Shayne stuck his hand in the doorway. "Can we talk?""About what? Last time we met, you hit me. What about this time?" Zach asked coldly.He didn't believe for a second that Shayne had come for anything good.After all, Shayne was an idiot who always believed whatever people told him.There was a high chance that this time, Shayne had been manipulated again and had come looking for trouble."I'm here to talk about your mother," Shayne muttered.At hi
