A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 566
The phone rang. Luna picked up her phone and glanced at it. She then answered it."After our publishing house held a meeting, we decided to print 500 thousand copies of your book," Emilia said.She then asked, "How many copies have you sold on your homepage so far?"At that moment, Luna felt as if the confusion she felt had been answered at that moment. If she worked hard, she would still have money to spend even if she offended every man out there.Luna gently caressed her belly. She could rely on men, but she couldn't lose the ability to support herself, right?As she thought about that, she opened her homepage and checked the sales figures before replying, "Over 350 thousand copies."Emilia asked in surprise, "Are you sure you're not lying?"Luna didn't understand why Emilia would say that, but she still answered, "Yes, I'm sure. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."Emilia immediately opened Luna's homepage and took a look. Sure enough, it was just as Luna ha

From this perspective, it seemed that Aralyn's life of only worrying about quality wasn't as enviable as it once appeared. Luna lay comfortably on the couch as she stared at the ceiling.After deducting the production costs for her merchandise and the expenses for the employees helping with shipping, her profit was around 50% while Aralyn's was only about 15%. She was earning more than double what Aralyn made.Luna suddenly realized that the feeling of being independent and not relying on others was even better than she had imagined. She couldn't help but smile.She then picked up her phone and opened her chat with Rowan. A few days ago, she had upset him. Since then, she had tried to chat with him, but he had been unresponsive.Luna decided to use this opportunity to mend their relationship. She took the initiative and sent him a message. "How have you been lately? Are you short on money? I've been making a lot recently. Do you need my help?"…Rowan received a call from Mar

Rowan leaned back, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. His mind kept replaying the scene from the office earlier. Everyone's faces were glowing with joy. Most importantly, they were all very motivated. Rowan couldn't help but feel happy too. This was the first time since his family's bankruptcy that he had experienced such a friendly atmosphere. Moreover, it was all thanks to Julian.Rowan told himself that he would work hard from now on. At the very least, he had to live up to Julian's efforts.He then opened his phone and noticed the message from Luna. He was surprised. How could a miser like Luna be willing to spend money on him?Even though Rowan knew Luna was just trying to placate him, he couldn't help but feel moved. Luna really was different when it came to him.At that moment, the dissatisfaction he had felt toward Luna a few days ago seemed to vanish. "I'm at the Hughes Group. I was discussing some matters earlier and didn't see your message," he replied.He then wa

Rowan picked up his phone and saw that it was a notification for a bank transfer. His mind went blank.He then received a massage from Luna. "I've transferred the money. Check if you've received it."Rowan replied instantly. "Received."His heart wavered. Was Luna not lying to him? Did she really love him? If she didn't care about him, she wouldn't have transferred the money to his account.Rowan's emotions were extremely complicated, but he decided not to overthink it for now. After all, the project was more important at the moment. As for Luna's money, he would treat it as if she had invested in the project. Once the project started generating profit, he would distribute the earnings to her proportionally.Rowan glanced at the balance again. He was still in disbelief. Initially, he had thought Luna was just bluffing, so he wanted to expose her. However, she had completely surprised him. He didn't know how to react in that instance.…Luna stared at her phone screen for a long

Once Luna asked for Rowan to return the money, he would understand that the considerate words that came out of her mouth were all lies. Her relationship with him would deteriorate too.Luna didn't know how to reply.Rowan didn't wait for her reply before he sent his next message. "I can transfer the money back to you."He now had Julian's backing, so strictly speaking, he didn't need Luna's money. However, since she was willing to give him the money, he felt that his contributions over the years were actually useful.Luna was also moved by him.Rowan then told her, "We used to be husband and wife. You probably know me very well, so there's no need to lie to me. If you can't bear to part with the money, there's really no need to give it to me."The more he said, the more Luna became certain that Rowan cared deeply about her attitude. If she believed his words and asked for the money back, he would definitely cut ties with her completely.Luna suppressed the pain in her heart and

This was why Julian had told Rowan where the problems in the project lay and had arranged for so many people to help him. With Julian's assistance, the chances of success for this project were significantly higher.However, Luna was still unwilling to believe that the money she had worked so hard to earn was about to go down the drain. "No way. Then why would you still dare to invest in him?"Rowan raised a brow. It seemed Luna was smarter than he had expected. At least she realized that something was off at this point.He replied unhurriedly, "Even though the Cunninghams have collapsed, the connections behind them are still intact."Luna instantly understood. "You want to get close to the people backing Rowan?"Rowan felt that was enough. As such, he didn't reply to her. He took out his other phone and waited for Luna's reply. Julian was silent. Did that mean she had guessed correctly?He couldn't help but smile. She felt a little happy.Everyone said Julian was cold and dist

If Rowan's project had problems as Julian said, then Rowan should be very short on money. He finally got his hands on this opportunity. He should be hesitant to return the money to her. Yet, he generously returned it to her.What did that mean? It meant that Rowan had likely teamed up with Julian to trick her.If that was the case, it meant that said project would be very profitable in the future.Luna grabbed her phone and asked Rowan, "I'm curious… Why were you willing to return the money to me? Aren't you severely short on funds? Wouldn't it be good if you used my money to develop your business?"She felt that although Julian had money, the possibility of him investing in Rowan even though he knew Rowan would make a loss probably wasn't high.Rowan raised a brow. It seemed Luna realized something was off. He chuckled and slowly typed out, "Of course, it'd be good. But Luna, we have a child, and you are currently pregnant. While I do think about myself, I also have to consid

Gabriel stood on the balcony. He looked at Julian and said, "How is your relationship with Lyn now?"Julian seriously thought about it for a moment before replying, "It's great."Gabriel smiled and said, "We're taking Willow out to play. You should take this opportunity to spend some quality time with Lyn and deepen your relationship with her. Usually, with the child around, both of you are focused on her, so you don't have time alone together. You also don't have the chance to chat."Julian shook his head, "No, we often spend time together at the company too.""It's different," Gabriel retorted. He didn't elaborate on how it was different.Hearing Willow's voice, he quickly responded, "Okay, I'm coming right away!"He then patted Julian on the shoulder and added, "Trust me."Julian looked at Gabriel with confusion, not understanding what he was really saying. However, he still cooperatively replied, "Alright."Gabriel strode away from the balcony and went to the bedroom to ret

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
