Chapter 537

Author: Walking on Clouds
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

    "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

    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

    Luna wasn't actually thinking of going back to him just because she knew he had money. She wasn't aiming to live a good life with him.She was simply keeping her options open but would prioritize the one that benefitted her the most.If Julian became interested in her, she would immediately leave him and Shayne behind to be with Julian.A sense of bitterness surged in Rowan's heart.He suddenly found himself, the one who had wavered earlier, to be utterly pathetic.Luna hadn't spoken a single truthful word.Naturally, she wasn't worthy of his genuine feelings.Rowan couldn't understand how she could say she loved him one second and then flirt with other men the next.His eyes stung, and everything started to blur. Then, tears ran down his cheeks."I'm with Aralyn and Willow," Rowan replied.Luna almost threw her phone away in frustration. Why? She had driven Aralyn out of Shayne's house. How could Aralyn still meet men from wealthy backgrounds?How could she have a thoughtfu

    "Probably," Shayne replied casually.Luna frowned and asked, "You don't seem alright. What happened?"Shayne confessed honestly, "I went to see a psychologist recently. And then I suddenly realized that ever since I was with Aralyn until now, all I did was do the wrong thing. Luna…"Shayne's voice was filled with pain. "How could I be so stupid? How could I only realize the problem when it's gotten to this point?"Luna heard the hint of sadness in his voice and had a bad feeling about it. "Why are you suddenly saying this?"Shayne was broken, but he couldn't vent to anyone.If Luna hadn't called, he was afraid he would have lost his mind.Shayne said through his tears, "When a person makes a mistake, the first thing they should do is solve the problem. Then, they must apologize and find a way to make amends."But what is this? Why am I trying to provoke her by contacting you? That will only drive her further away from me."Shayne wiped the tears from his face.Luna didn't kno

    Luna thought for a moment and decided to provoke Shayne first.After all, she couldn't win Julian over, and she needed time with Rowan.Neither of them could give her money.And Shayne—her cash machine—was about to slip out of her control, so she decided to use some small tricks to make Shayne continue to spend money on her willingly.Having thought of an idea, she took out her phone and sent Shayne a message. "Since you want to reconcile with Aralyn, then I should be able to find a new boyfriend, right?"Men had a very strong sense of possessiveness over women who once belonged to them.Luna knew very well that when she acted as if she loved Shayne, he probably didn't think much of it.But once she showed that she was about to leave him, Shayne would definitely panic."You know how high maintenance I am. If I don't find someone to support me, the allowance you give me probably won't be enough."Shayne thought about Luna's words.She was indeed quite extravagant. She was alwa

    But Luna had no intention of exposing him. After all, her goal was to spend Shayne's money.As long as Shayne was willing to support her, that was all that mattered. She didn't care about anything else.Still uneasy, Shayne reminded again, "So, we've agreed—you can't be with other men.""You can rest assured about that. As long as you're willing to support me, of course, I'm happy to maintain this arrangement," replied Luna patiently. The most important thing was that Shayne never interfered with any of her decisions. And he didn't live with her. She had plenty of time to build relationships with other men.Even if Aralyn really was foolish enough to break up with Julian and go back to Shayne, it wouldn't affect Luna much.At the very least, she could still act pitiful in front of Rowan and make him take her in.Before doing anything, Luna always liked to leave herself a way out.…Zach pushed open the door and walked into the living room with his head down.Maisy heard the

    Both of them tried to persuade Maisy.Maisy was feeling emotional. Her precious grandson had grown up and now knew how to care for his grandmother. "Alright, then. I'll go tomorrow."Zach smiled happily. "Okay."Maisy pulled Zach to sit beside the couch and began helping him reduce the swelling. Her eyes were full of distress. "It must have hurt so much. Shayne practically hit you as though he wanted you dead. You're his son, not his enemy. Did he really have to go that far?"Zach didn't argue and simply said, "Maybe his brain's gone bad now that he's all alone because he lost his wife due to his stupidity. And now, he doesn't want his child either."Maisy raised an eyebrow and looked at Zach. "I think so."Seeing that his grandmother agreed with him, Zach grinned widely. But his face hurt a lot. The moment he smiled, he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.…Shayne sat alone in his car. After hanging up and comforting Luna, he finally felt a little better.Because of Lun

    The other party was a professional marketer. As soon as they received the money, they got to work immediately.Before long, Luna's new book release was trending.Luna's works were already of decent quality, and with several rounds of hype, she had gained a large fan base. When people heard that her book was about to be published, many rushed in, eager to buy it.Orders started coming in through various channels.Luna's mood improved when she saw the rapidly increasing numbers. Then, she reached out to Emilia. "Did you see the sales of my new book?"Emilia had just come out of a meeting. Glancing at the numbers, she stated in surprise, "That's a lot.""I had a bit of a reputation overseas. Back then, our publishing house handled my books, so you should know," Luna replied confidently.Emilia was well aware of that.Luna continued, "This book has both a great plot and stunning visuals. Of course, plenty of people would love it."After thinking for a while, Emilia said, "Judging

    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
