A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 615
Joseph and Alice were just business partners for now. If they bought the property together and both names were on it, it would be hard to divide if they ever had a falling out.It was better to settle everything clearly from the start.The two asked the agent if this arrangement was possible, and the agent said it was.After they confirmed which half each of them would take, the agent led them through the property transfer process.Joseph looked at the brand-new property deed in his hands and still found it hard to believe. "I actually own my own place now.""Mm-hmm!" Alice was also excited, though she didn't show it. "Let's go meet Aralyn now."Joseph asked, "What for?""She's amazing!" Alice praised, unconsciously lifting her chin."Even though she hasn't started her own company, she has her own insights about business matters. Talking to her will give us a different perspective! And most importantly, I want to share this great news with Aralyn."Alice suddenly thought of

"I'm heavily pregnant right now. I need someone to take care of me. If I move in with you, can you afford to hire a nanny to take care of me? And Mason is currently attending the best kindergarten in the city. The tuition costs hundreds of thousands a year. Can you afford that?"She asked one question after another, leaving Rowan at a loss for words.Luna took a deep breath. "Even though Shayne is angry right now, I believe as long as I hold on, he'll calm down eventually. And then he'll continue to provide me with a good life.""So, you called me just to complain? You never actually thought about coming back to me?" Rowan asked.Luna was silent for a long time before replying, "Yes.""Alright."She had hurt Rowan repeatedly, and he had said over and over again that he would forgive her. But now, he finally realized that Luna never needed his forgiveness.In fact, Luna could live just fine without him."Maybe Shayne was just acting on impulse. You don't need to take it to heart

Shayne's love for Aralyn would fade gradually.Charlotte felt that if things reached that point, Shayne wouldn't hold a grudge against her over the vasectomy anymore.Instead, he would realize that everything she did was for his own good.The more Charlotte thought about it, the more convinced she became that her priority now was to break Julian and Aralyn up. She took a taxi to the entrance of Hughes Group, but when she saw the tightly shut gates, she froze.Seeing her standing there in a daze, someone nearby approached her. "Hughes Group is closed on weekends. If you need to see one of their employees, you can come back on Monday."Charlotte nodded numbly. "Okay, thank you."Even if they weren't at the company, that didn't matter. She could go to Julian's house and meet him there.After all, she had to settle this today!Otherwise, as long as Shayne kept blaming her, she wouldn't be able to feel at ease.…The car was moving down the road.Joseph sat in the passenger seat,

"Alice was right—you really are amazing," Joseph said, seemingly nervous.Hearing this, I looked up at Joseph. "Thank you."Alice lifted her chin. "Of course! Any woman I approve of is definitely extraordinary.""You have a good eye." I chuckled.Alice agreed enthusiastically, "That's right!"After chatting with me, Alice turned her attention to Julian. "By the way, what's the most important thing when starting a company in your opinion?"Alice wanted to build a bigger company and keep it running for a long time. But she didn't know how to make a company last."It's simple—money," Julian replied unhurriedly."As long as you're generous and give your employees more money, they'll create value for you beyond your imagination."Alice knew this was exactly how Hughes Group operated, but hearing Julian state it so directly still shocked her.Joseph felt the same way.It was as though they had just discovered a whole new world.After all, no one had ever explained it to them like

"Maybe all you'll be able to do is hold onto your idea and regret it while watching someone else use it to make a fortune."Upon hearing this, Joseph said seriously, "I understand. For the projects I personally handle, I'll take 90% and give 10% to the company. It'll be the same for the other employees."Julian gave him a meaningful look. But since they weren't close, he didn't offer much advice.He then looked at Alice and asked, "After founding the company, he'll be on the front lines handling projects. What about you?"Alice responded without hesitation, "I'll go to work, of course. Hughes Group is an amazing place to work. There's no way I'd give that up so easily."Julian chuckled. "I'm talking about your company. He's unwilling to pass projects to other people. But your company still needs someone to oversee the bigger picture; you're the only one who should do that."Alice asked in disbelief, "Me? Can I handle it?""You have to. If you run into problems you can't solve, y

Julian raised an eyebrow. "Oh?""You definitely think that if I stay in the company, I'll compete with you for Aralyn's time! That's why you keep talking about how great starting a business is." Alice knew Julian had ulterior motives."You just want me to quit my job impulsively! That way, when I'm at work, I won't be able to meet Aralyn anymore!"If that happened, Aralyn would spend the entire day in the office with Julian.To prevent this from happening, Alice decided that she would stay at the company with Aralyn all the way until retirement.Hmph! She would never let Julian get his way!Joseph patted Alice's arm. "Mr. Hughes is a busy person. There's no way he'd be the person you just described."Alice scoffed. "You've never spent time with him, so of course you don't know what kind of person he is.""Plan failed," Julian muttered, not bothering to hide his disappointment.Alice handed Julian the company's plan. "As punishment, help us review what we need to pay attention

When Joseph heard the notification sound from his phone, he picked the phone up to see a message from Alice.Reading the message, he instantly guessed what Alice was planning.He could hardly believe his eyes. "Are you planning to make money off what Julian taught you?""Yeah," Alice said matter-of-factly. "With such a great opportunity, why wouldn't I?"Joseph was speechless.The people in the group chat saw her message and immediately expressed their doubts."Everyone knows you used to chase after Julian and got rejected by him ruthlessly. Even if he suddenly had a charitable moment and decided to teach people, he definitely wouldn't teach you."Everyone thought the same thing, but Alice wasn't offended. "Joseph was right next to me when Julian was teaching me. If you don't believe me, you should at least believe him, right?"All of them were aware of Alice and Joseph's huge falling out, so they figured Joseph wouldn't lie for her. They all asked Joseph to confirm whether Ali

Joseph thought about it seriously and then nodded. "Yeah.""Then I'll transfer some money to Julian."Although Alice had received a lot of money from her friends, ever since she joined the project and started earning a share of the profits, she didn't really care about this amount anymore.She only kept a portion for herself and transferred the rest to Julian.Alice even made sure to explain, "I told my friends in the group chat that I learned some valuable experience from you and that I could teach them. They were all willing to pay for knowledge. This money's from them."Then she took a screenshot and sent it to Julian."I only kept a small portion for myself. And I've arranged to meet them at the hotel tomorrow to give the lecture."…When Julian received the message, he glanced at it before handing his phone to me, who was sitting across from him. "What is she trying to do?"I took the phone and read the message. "Maybe she just thinks that if you hadn't taught her, she wo

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Alice. The more she listened, the funnier she found everything. "Avery, did you forget about me?"Avery rolled her eyes at her. "Aren't you just doing this for Aralyn?"Alice smirked. "Wow, you really do have a bad memory. It hasn't even been that long, and you've already forgotten that you messed with me first? Of course, I'm not the type to just let things slide. Since you came after me, I was definitely going to get back at you. That's just how I handle things."After hearing Alice's explanation, Avery finally realized that everything Alice had done had nothing to do with Aralyn.She replied, irritated, "Even if I was stupid back then, did you really have to use such nasty tricks to get back at me?"Alice shrugged. "It's not nasty. His crush on you didn't even last a full day. It's not like it affected you that much. Besides, you already know the truth today."Avery fell silent.Alice suddenly sensed something off and cautiously asked, "You didn't

Joseph kept his head down and didn't look at Avery.Alice answered without hesitation, "We're eating here. Isn't that normal?"Although the restaurant was expensive, with a meal costing her an entire month's salary, both she and Joseph came from fairly wealthy families. It wasn't like they couldn't afford a meal, right?Avery sneered. "But Joseph has already been abandoned by his family. Does he even have money to eat?"Alice responded calmly, "Of course, he has the money to do so. Did no one tell you? Joseph and I are starting a business together, and the early stages have been quite successful. We've made a few million in just the past few days."Alice had intended to stay low-key, but Avery's disdainful attitude made her feel like she had to stand up for Joseph. Otherwise, people might start thinking Joseph was easy to pick on.Upon hearing this, Avery looked at Joseph, stunned. "If you're so rich, then why did you come to my house for food back then?""I hadn't started the b

Joseph was rather reluctant. "If we hire people, we'll have to share the money we've already earned with them! But if we don't, then all the money we make from these projects will be ours."Julian said calmly, "But you need to understand something. If people come to you and don't receive a response for a long time, they might just cancel their collaboration with you."Joseph lowered his head.Julian continued, "By then, you won't earn a single cent."Joseph was still unwilling to accept it, but in order not to lose these clients, he had no choice but to compromise. "Fine, then."At first, Alice was working with great enthusiasm, but after a while, she started to feel exhausted. She said, "Let's hire people right now!"She had work the next day and simply wouldn't have time to handle so much on her own, so hiring people seemed like a good option.Instead of posting a job listing, Alice first messaged a few of her friends to see if they were interested. They didn't have jobs to be
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 677
Alice and Joseph then continued working. Julian returned at that moment and sat down beside me, calmly reporting his progress. "I only managed to add a few people. There are still a few I haven't added."Alice looked up and asked, "Who are you trying to add? Tell me, and I'll send their contacts to you."Julian asked, "Are you sure you have the contacts of the people I want to add?"Without hesitation, Alice nodded and said, "Of course. I added everyone who was here today."It was only then that Julian realized Alice actually had her strengths. "And you remember all of them?"Alice said confidently, "Of course! They're my clients. When I added them on WhatsApp, I matched their faces to their accounts."Seeing this, Julian told Alice the names of the people he wanted to add. Alice immediately forwarded their contacts to him.After adding them, Julian expressed his interest in their projects and arranged for them to visit his office the next day.Once everything was settled, he n

Alice stared at the chat window, looking at the template in silence for a long time before finally asking, "You can do it this way?"I asked in return, confused, "How else?"Alice licked her lips uncomfortably. "I thought you had to do it like me—first ask about their needs, then double-check the details several times..."With that, she glanced at my screen again and realized that the template was genuinely good. It was not only more efficient than hers but also more comprehensive.Alice softened her voice and asked cutely, "Can you send me a copy of your template? I want it too."I smiled and forwarded the template to Alice.Her efficiency instantly skyrocketed. She started sending the template directly to potential partners who reached out and then ran over to Joseph, gloating gleefully, "Joseph, are you managing?"Joseph's brow twitched. "What?"Alice shook her head. "You're way too slow. That's just with a few thousand people knowing about our company. Tens of thousands, hu

"They're still reliable people," said Alice. Joseph wholeheartedly agreed. "Good thing you reminded us. Otherwise, we'd definitely suffer a huge loss in the future."Alice smugly declared, "I told you, the friends I approve of are definitely extraordinary!"Joseph nodded perfunctorily. "Yes, you're amazing, and all your friends are geniuses."Only then was Alice satisfied. She glanced around and noticed that Julian wasn't with us. "Where's Julian? Where did he go?"In the past, whenever Aralyn was around, Julian would always be by her side.What was going on today? Why did he leave Aralyn sitting here alone?As Alice thought about it, she silently leaned a little closer to her. If her guess was right, Julian was probably giving her a chance to bond with Aralyn."He said there were a few projects he was particularly interested in," I answered calmly. "So, he went to get those people's contact information."Alice was a little surprised. "I thought someone of Julian's status alw

In just a few years, these friends might all become successful women in their fields. But what about me? Would I still be just an ordinary comic artist? No.I silently decided that I had to work hard and build my own career.After seeing off the last group of people, Alice collapsed onto the couch beside me, exhausted. She said to me in a boastful manner, "I've added almost everyone who came today. Bet you didn't expect that."I asked in disbelief, "You worked that hard?"Alice nodded and said without hesitation, "Of course! I hope my company will be able to develop well. At the very least, I want it to last a few years. To achieve that, of course, I have to put in the effort. Otherwise, am I supposed to rely on someone else?"I stared at Alice in surprise. She had actually realized, in the process of starting her business, that a person couldn't depend too much on others. She had really grown a lot. Alice smiled. "But hard work pays off. I already have a lot of potential client

As Joseph spoke, the corner of his eye caught sight of Alice's hands. Only then did he realize that she had clasped them tightly together at some point. She looked even more nervous than he was.Joseph's lips curled in exasperation. So, after all that, Alice's confident words were just an act. Amidst everyone's discussion, I stood up and answered the question.…Alice gazed at Aralyn with admiration. Her tone was gentle, but every word was firm. Besides, unlike the others, she always went straight to the heart of the issue.After listening to her words, the man was still unconvinced. "Who knows if you've memorized this answer beforehand?"Julian replied calmly, "Feel free to ask her if there's something you don't understand. You'll see if she is able to answer you."The man came up with a question that even someone with years of business experience might struggle to answer. He then posed the question to me.I answered without hesitation.Hearing my response, his expression sh

Alice felt a little nervous when she saw so many people present. She looked at Julian and asked, "Do you want to put on makeup? Do you want..."Before she could finish her sentence, I interrupted, "Just take a moment to calm down. Leave the rest to us."Alice asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"I responded confidently, "Yeah."Only then did Alice sit aside pitifully as she stared at me.Upon seeing this, Joseph took the initiative to take over the task of debugging the equipment. He wasn't enthusiastic about it, but Alice had given him part of the money to handle these trivial matters.Once everything was set up, Julian stepped onto the stage. Having led countless meetings in his company, he was already well-versed in handling such situations. After a straightforward introduction, he began talking about his experience calmly.Everyone listened carefully regardless if they were convinced or not. Julian's voice was deep and steady, and his presence alone exuded a sense of reliabili
