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

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

When the supervisor passed by her, he handed her the phone casually.Alice couldn't imagine who might be looking for him. She took the phone casually and asked in confusion, "Do you know them?"The supervisor shook his head. "No."Alice hesitated. "Then should I go downstairs to check?""Yeah."…As soon as Alice stepped out of the elevator and reached the entrance, she saw Joseph standing not far away. Her face instantly turned ashen.The secretary had even reminded her that Joseph missed her at noon.Of course, he would come looking for her.How could she have forgotten?Alice turned around without a word and headed back toward the elevator."Alice!" Joseph called hurriedly.Hearing his voice, Alice quickened her pace, afraid Joseph would catch up to her."I know I was wrong, but can't you give me another chance?" Joseph asked painfully.Joseph kept shouting her name when he saw Alice had no intention of looking back.Alice felt embarrassed. Hesitating for a while, she

"He hasn't reached rock bottom yet, it seems," said Melody."Exactly.""When we get off work later, I'll check if he's waiting at the door. If he is, you can head to the underground parking lot. If he's not, we can just leave through the main entrance together.""Thank you. You're so kind to me. I love you." Alice hugged Melody, touched.Melody laughed. "You're welcome."The two of them chatted for a long time until their supervisor came to urge them back to work. Reluctantly, they let go of each other.Before starting work, Alice leaned over to Melody and whispered, "Let's talk more after work."Melody gave a small nod. "Sure."…After Luna got home, she sat in the living room, deep in thought.It seemed every time she had Shayne step in for her, Shayne ended up being humiliated.If that was the case, she could only find another way.After all, there was no way Luna could sit by and watch Aralyn live a better life than her. She went on WhatsApp and clicked on Rowan's con
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 502
Was there anything better in this world than seeing someone she hated being pulled down from their pedestal while she rose higher and higher?Clearly not.Rowan looked at the messages on his phone, and every word confirmed that he had guessed correctly—Luna was just this malicious.She hadn't even considered the consequences of posting these videos online. She had never even thought about him.Rowan closed his eyes, not wanting to reply to Luna anymore.He had never imagined that Luna could become this cruel after their breakup.When Luna didn't get a reply from Rowan, she immediately called him."Hello?""I don't want to talk to you right now," Rowan said, though he didn't know why his heart ached so much."Then just send me what I asked for," Luna said impatiently.Rowan knew she was pregnant, and he couldn't—and shouldn't—lose his temper with her. But he couldn't help himself. "Have you thought about what will happen after you post it? People will see me too. What will t

"When do you have time?"I glanced at the time on my phone—it was almost time to pick Willow up.After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Can I go sign tomorrow? I have to pick Willow up today.""Sure," said Mark.I breathed a sigh of relief.Julian had been busy all afternoon and had just finished his work. He looked at me and asked, "You're going to the factory tomorrow?""Yes," I replied, suddenly feeling a bit out of sorts. Ever since moving into Julian's house, we'd been practically glued to each other every day.Now, the thought of being apart... left me feeling empty.I looked up at Julian.He had been very busy with work recently too, so he probably couldn't find the time to accompany me.I felt even more downcast.Julian noticed my reluctance and smiled, saying, "Once we both get busy, we probably won't have time to think about each other."I thought about it carefully and realized he was right. "That's true. Should I have the driver take me there tomorrow?""Sure

I looked down in confusion and asked, "What is it?"Pamela bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Some kids in our class have been bullying Willow lately. Even though I tried to stop them and told them it was wrong, nobody wanted to listen to me."Pamela lowered her head guiltily as if she was disappointed in herself for not being able to protect Willow.I crouched down and held her hand. "Pamela, you're amazing for standing up against unfair situations."Pamela looked at me in disbelief. "You don't blame me for not protecting Willow?"I chuckled. "You're also just a kid."Pamela tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand what I meant."It's normal to not know how to handle such situations. The fact that you told me about it already means so much to me. If you hadn't told me, I might still not know what Willow has been going through at school."Pamela blinked a few times, and her expression relaxed. "I'm happy for Willow because you care about her."Jus

"Otherwise, at the slightest disturbance, we'd start worrying about what we'll do in the future if their company goes bankrupt.""That's true." Joseph imagined himself running a major company and becoming number one in the industry, surrounded by people treating him like a star.He couldn't help but smile. "Alright! We'll do as you say!""Then go home and ask your dad how to manage a company. Remember to take detailed notes so you don't forget the most crucial and important points. I'll ask my dad as well. Don't worry. I'll write everything down."We'll have a discussion afterward. For the parts that are the same, we'll follow them. For the differences, we'll combine the best of both," uttered Alice.Joseph responded excitedly, "Alright."He had been troubled emotionally, thinking he shouldn't waver for another woman just because of what Alice said.But now, his mind was entirely focused on business.He believed that once he succeeded, women would naturally come to him and purs
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 599
But when he saw the high prices, he suddenly felt like it wasn't worth it. A regular apartment only cost a few thousand dollars a month. One night in a hotel cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was enough to rent a place for a whole year and even hire a housekeeper to clean up the place.In the end, Joseph booked a hotel for 200 dollars. After checking in, he realized that while it wasn't as luxurious as the expensive ones, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was still inhabitable.…Alice had finally found such a good way to earn money, so she wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. Even though she was already very frugal with her spending, and her salary and bonuses from the company were quite high, she had to admit that making a lot of money on her own still made her feel really happy.As she lay under the covers, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to expand her and Joseph's business. She also thought of how to make more people aware of them.However, A

So, Avery choosing another man was the reason he was so upset. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks. However, he remembered that Avery had never actually said she loved him. It was Alice who said it.It was because he saw Avery trying to please him that he naturally assumed Alice was right—that Avery had a crush on him.Joseph had a vague sense of unease. He turned around and went back to Alice's house. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell. "Hello?"Upon hearing this, Alice walked to the gate with a yawn. "What is it?"Joseph stared at Alice as he asked, "I wanted to ask… Avery has never loved me, right?"Alice was stumped by his question. How did he figure it out?She looked away, feeling a little guilty.Joseph's voice rose. "So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning? Why did you do it? Was it for revenge?"Since she had been exposed, Alice had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yeah, why else? You suddenly found a woman to date and called her my substitute. Y

"However, you need to let me finish. Being handsome is important, but it's not the most important thing. You and I both know that."Joseph was still very upset. "Yeah?"Alice continued, "A man's career is also very important. The reason she chose someone else now is probably because your career isn't successful enough. If you became the CEO of a publicly listed company right now and approached her, she'll think she hit the jackpot!"Joseph sneered and replied, "I get it now. When I return, I will do everything I can to build my career. Once I've succeeded, I will find her and tell her about the great man she missed out on!"Alice awkwardly looked away. If he went to find Avery, she would be confused because she never liked him in the first place. However, Alice dared not say that. She merely smiled and said, "Then work hard!"Joseph was still feeling miserable.Alice thought that in this state, Joseph was particularly suited to working for her and helping her make money. "Constan

However, Joseph saw Avery open the door. She then wrapped her arms around the man's neck, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.Joseph felt like he had been struck by lightning. Didn't Avery like him? Why was she so affectionate with another man? Could it be that she was stringing him along?Joseph quickly turned around in a panic, took the elevator down, and left the building.…The man heard the noise and turned around. He looked at Joseph's retreating figure and asked, "Do you know him?"Avery shook her head and replied, "No."The man smiled and said, "Then he must have gone to the wrong floor. Avery, I miss you so much."Avery pulled the man into her room forcefully. She then slammed the door shut behind them.…Joseph ran out of the neighborhood. However, his face felt a little cold. He was crying.He had been abandoned by his family, and his friends weren't generous with him. He once thought there were still people who loved him, but the only person who secretly liked
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 595
Alice knew she could help. She knew her friends were inexperienced, so when they started their businesses, they were full of passion. However, they suddenly realized they didn't know what kind of projects to do once they had secured the venue, hired the people, and wanted to start the project.Alice thought that starting with them would be a good option. Sure enough, after sending out her message, she received responses full of complaints about how hard entrepreneurship was, how they were completely in the dark, and had no idea what projects to pursue or how to find business partners.She actively messaged them, carefully confirming their needs, and then passed the information on to Joseph one by one. Once Joseph received the information, he found that a large portion of it perfectly matched his friends' projects. Even if his friends were not working on related projects, he would find other people who could work with them.The both of them were very happy once they ensured that ev

What Joseph didn't expect was that his friends just so happened to be struggling to find the right people to take charge of their projects, so he introduced them to his clients. In the end, they sealed a deal. Some of them even met up late at night to sign contracts on the spot.Once everything was finalized, both his friends and the clients sent Joseph large tips as thanks. He didn't try to be polite and accepted all of it. Once he did so, he checked his account balance and could hardly believe his eyes. Had he really made money this easily?By the time the cab stopped in front of Alice's building, Joseph was still in a daze. It wasn't until the driver reminded him that they had arrived that he snapped out of it. He then called Alice to notify her of his arrival.Alice came down and handed him all of her membership cards.Joseph was stunned. "You won't believe how much money I made on the way here.""How much?" she asked, puzzled."300 thousand dollars." Joseph felt like he was

Although Alice was using Joseph, he wasn't exactly innocent either. Back then, he had found a stand-in and would constantly show up in front of her acting crazy.Compared to that, her approach was much milder. "But why did you call me?"Hearing Alice's question, Joseph finally remembered why he was calling her. "I got a side gig. It's to help people who don't have the background or connections to access our social circles. They can then reach out to the people they want to reach and form opportunities to work together with them."Alice was surprised. "That's a good business idea. Then what?"Joseph asked a little uneasily, "It's just that not enough places are granting me access, so I wanted to ask if you have any membership cards I could borrow?"Alice didn't reject him immediately. "Let me check.""Alright."Alice opened a drawer filled with membership cards for all sorts of high-profile events. She couldn't help but furrow her brows.In the past, she loved attending variou

"Only when you earn your salary through your own abilities can you truly be independent. Otherwise, if you spend your whole life relying on others to support you, they'll eventually get tired of it."Lucas was very pleased when he heard this. "Thank you. He has grown a lot."Alice wondered if Lucas would still be thanking her when Joseph brought Avery home. However, she didn't express any of that. She merely laughed it off, trying to fool him. "He's smart."Lucas continued, "It seems like my son will come to you again whenever he faces any difficulties in the future. I hope you'll look out for him when that happens."Alice answered without hesitation, "Of course, don't worry."After all, she still needed to use Joseph to get her revenge on Avery. She would keep tabs on the progress of Joseph and Avery's relationship at all times. Even if Joseph didn't seek her out, she would take the initiative to do so.Lucas said, moved, "You're wonderful. Feel free to find me if you ever need
