"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

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

What shocked her was the fact that Rowan listened and stopped what he was doing.Luna was so angry she almost threw her phone. She took a deep breath."Damn that Rowan! I had gone through so much trouble to trick Aralyn into doing something that she could never rise from again, but Rowan did nothing. I have no evidence!" Luna thought.Suppressing her anger, Luna paced back and forth in the room for a long time until her emotions finally calmed down. Then, she dialed Rowan's number. "Rowan!"Rowan was busy handling his work when he received the call. Even though Julian had already sent him the startup funds, he still dared not hire too many people, fearing losses and wasting Julian's money.Hence, he handled many tasks personally.When he heard Luna's voice, and perhaps because he had already seen through her intentions, he remained calm. "Yes?"Luna, who had previously acted as if she was trying hard in front of him in case he might someday regain his fortune, could no longer
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 506
Luna never expected that the man who always stood by her side no matter what would hurt her like this.She bit her lip and took a long time before shouting, "Rowan, your family has already gone bankrupt! You don't even have a penny to your name right now. The fact that I'm willing to stay in touch with you is already a blessing! I hope you know better than to be ungrateful!"Rowan couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face. "Well, you don't need to waste any more time blessing me in the future. That's a good thing for you, too."Luna's mind went blank. "You useless man! You can't even handle such a small matter, Rowan—"She wanted to keep insulting him, but Rowan hung up the phone.Furious, Luna stared at her phone and threw it onto the ground. "What the hell!"Shayne had money, so she went after him. When Shayne realized he didn't love her and ignored her, she could accept that.Now she wanted Julian, but she couldn't win him over, as he didn't take her seriously. And
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 507
Shayne wasn't sure, but if he were asked to spend money on Aralyn now, he thought he probably wouldn't hesitate.…Rowan felt that, as Luna's ex-husband, he shouldn't tell Julian about this. But just thinking about Luna's schemes made him feel that she had gone too far.After weighing it for a long time, he decided it would be better to give Julian a heads-up.That way, if something really happened, he wouldn't regret it.Rowan dialed Julian's number.Julian had just finished discussing work with Ximena and was planning to go upstairs to find Aralyn.When he received the call, he was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"Rowan was silent for a moment, not responding.Julian assumed it was a mistake and was about to hang up."Luna asked me to kidnap Willow today and then trick Aralyn into coming out before forcing her to be intimate with me," said Rowan.Julian froze mid-step. He glanced toward Aralyn's bedroom in the distance, then at Ximena sitting
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 508
Julian looked at me with frustration, as if hoping I could do better than this.I tilted my head, not understanding what he was thinking.Julian tried to be patient. "Even if you're certain that we're both trustworthy, you should still be cautious. What if something inappropriate happens between us? What would you do then?"I blinked.Julian placed his hands on my shoulders and said seriously, "I hope you'll get jealous because that proves that you love me.""Does not getting jealous mean I don't love you?" I wrapped my arms around Julian's waist, my tone gradually softening."I don't think so, Julian. In my view, the best kind of relationship is one where we know what we both want and can trust each other.""But isn't love about jealousy and possessiveness?" Julian asked, confused."The love others talk about is between them. In their relationships, there may have been some instability, which triggered their possessiveness and jealousy. But there's never been any of that betwe

It only made him realize that Luna was very clearly after his money."Very fulfilling," he replied perfunctorily.He was so busy every day that his mind was filled with work; he had no time to spare to think about Luna. He felt happy that way."Do you have money to spend now? Do you need me to give you some?" Luna asked with concern."I do. And no, thank you for your concern." Rowan didn't want to talk to her now, but for Julian's sake, he forced himself to endure it.Luna suddenly felt a bit wronged. The man who used to dote on her now didn't care about her at all."You've become so cold. You said you forgave me, but you actually still resent me, right? I apologized to you, though. And I truly want to reconcile with you."After sending it, she stared at the screen.Rowan looked at it, unsure how to reply. He hesitated for a moment, deciding to use work as an excuse. "I know, but I've been really busy lately.""Then when you're free, can we have a good talk?""Mm."Rowan tos

"Alright," Luna agreed."I don't want to take risks, and I think neither do you."Emilia sighed. "The publishing industry is tough these days."Luna just smiled. "With me here, you can rest assured.""Then I'll have our company's staff create a book cover for you first, and you can put it up to see how it goes.""Alright."…As Luna had solved a problem that had troubled her for a long time, her mood naturally improved. She was even looking forward to tomorrow.Once the other party sent her the finished cover, she put it on her homepage.After that, she hired people to help hype it up, hoping for good sales. Even if it didn't sell well, she had to at least surpass Aralyn.She could then show off in front of Shayne and Julian, proving that she was better than Aralyn. Then, she could make them admire her and willingly abandon Aralyn to live a good life with her.Her career was her top priority. Only when her comic was recognized could she gain the admiration of others.A smil

His voice was low and affectionate. In the quiet of the night, it sounded even more pleasant.I leaned into his embrace and asked softly, "Does this feel better?""Yes," he replied without hesitation.…The marketing department acted swiftly. As soon as they received Mark's instructions, they immediately began executing the plan.In less than an hour, news of Aralyn's comic book release and strong sales emerged out of nowhere, dominating multiple charts. Photos of Aralyn signing copies of the book also appeared online.Luna had just been feeling relieved that the sales of her merchandise had already far surpassed Aralyn's.Even though the products hadn't been manufactured yet, plenty of people had already purchased them.Most importantly, she didn't have to share the profits with anyone.That meant she was making more money than Aralyn.Luna had thought that aside from men, she had already surpassed Aralyn in every other way.But when she saw that Aralyn's comic had somehow

I stroked her hair. "I love you too."With all the preparations made, Willow burrowed into the covers.As always, I read her a story. She always had all sorts of strange and curious questions, and I answered them every time.…Julian sat in the study, thinking.Luna had been keeping a close eye on Aralyn lately, and he was worried that she might do something outrageous—either hurting Aralyn or making her feel troubled.Hence, his solution was to keep Luna busy.Luna was jealous whenever she saw Aralyn living well, she was trying to outshine Aralyn desperately.All he had to do was make sure she had no time to focus on anything else.Julian took out his phone and dialed Mark.Mark had already finished his work for the day and was idly passing the time, so he was a bit surprised to receive the call. "Mr. Hughes, do you need something?""Yes. Have the marketing department send out some press releases saying that Aralyn's comic has been published and is selling well," Julian ans

As I looked at her, I felt that my marriage with Shayne was probably quite similar to her previous job.Before the divorce—before I had met normal men—I also thought Shayne treated me well.I even kept thinking that since he was rich and handsome, he was already much better than most people.If I hadn't gotten divorced and met Julian, I probably would have never realized that my standards were too low, not that Shayne was a great partner.At this moment, Ximena also realized just how much she had missed out on. "After joining Julian's company, I finally realized that it wasn't supposed to be like this. Sure, making money is important, but so is life."We earn money to enjoy life, not to throw ourselves entirely into work and abandon life itself."Watching as emotions filled her face, I couldn't help but feel happy for her. "Exactly. If we ignore our children and don't get to be there as they grow up, no matter how much money we make, what's the point?"When you look back one day

"Could it be Avery who told him?" Alice asked hesitantly.Mark shrugged. "I'm not sure either.""Since you saw them, it's a possibility. I'll ask her about it tomorrow."Mark didn't stop her. "Alright.""You really live up to your reputation as the most gossipy man in the company. You catch every key piece of information," Alice remarked."It's not talent; it's just hard work," Mark responded, looking embarrassed.Alice burst into laughter. "You're too modest!"The topic ended, and as she sipped her juice, her eyes were filled with sarcasm.Mark noticed the shift in her emotions and immediately asked, "What are you thinking about?""I just think Joseph is utterly shameless! We're not even a couple, yet he has the nerve to ask me for money. And when I give him some, he complains that it's too little and wants more."So what if I make a lot of money? That doesn't mean I should give it to him. I don't owe him anything. It's ridiculous!"Mark was just as indignant. "Exactly! Eve

Before Alice spoke, she also looked around carefully. After confirming that no familiar faces were nearby, she whispered back, "I suspect there's a mole in our company.""A mole?" Mark asked, his expression full of wariness. "Why do you say that?"Alice analyzed the situation. "Look, I never told anyone which project team I'm in, right?"Mark nodded. "You do keep a low profile.""But somehow, Joseph knows I'm making a lot of money. He's been pestering me every day lately." Alice frowned."I've been very careful to avoid him, but somehow, he always manages to track me down precisely and then acts pitiful in front of me. He says he's starving and asks me for money to buy food."The more Alice thought about it, the more frustrated she became. "I'm a kind person, so of course, I wouldn't just stand by and watch someone starve to death in front of me.""Right," Mark agreed.Alice became even angrier as she spoke. "So, I took ten dollars from my wallet and gave it to him so he could

Furious and humiliated, Shayne slapped Zach hard across the face.Zach's face turned red. He covered his cheek, staring at Shayne in disbelief."When did you become so cold that you don't even want your mother anymore?" Shayne asked in shock.Zach glared at Shayne, his voice dripping with disdain and mockery. "You're not qualified to say that to me. I got tricked into doing something bad because I didn't know how cruel the world could be. But I'm willing to take responsibility for my choices. And you? You chose to abandon your wife and child, and now you regret it."Zach sneered in contempt, "Rather than showing up in front of Mom, saying you love her and regret everything—which makes her hate you more—she'd much rather you just stay away from her."His words were like poison. "Shayne, honestly, you're really selfish. When you were married, you never gave Mom the love she wanted. You ignored her every day. After the divorce, you're still constantly bothering her instead of givin

Julian stood in front of me and said, "Mr. Pearce, this is my girlfriend. Please show some respect."Shayne locked eyes with Julian. "But Mr. Hughes, don't you think you're being despicable? You pursued her when she was still vulnerable, having just gotten divorced from me. You took advantage of the situation. A gentleman wouldn't do that!"Julian chuckled. "As far as I remember, I never said I wanted to be a gentleman, did I?"Shayne was at a loss for words."You and I have different mindsets. You value being a gentleman, while I think winning the heart of the one I love is more important. Aralyn is exceptional. While you're concerned about appearances and hesitate to take action, someone already swept her off her feet."Rather than being a gentleman praised by everyone but losing the one I love, I'd rather be a scoundrel. At least the one I love is by my side when I feel lonely."Julian's tone grew even calmer. "Besides, you said so much just now because you regret divorcing Ar
