"Then you can try," said Zach."Alright," Shayne replied firmly before hanging up.He knew that calling Aralyn wouldn't work, as she had already blocked him a long time ago.So, he dialed Julian's number.Seeing the caller ID, Julian found it a bit strange. "What do you need from me so late at night?""Could you pass the phone to Aralyn? I have something to tell her about Zach," Shayne said politely.…Julian looked at me.I took a deep breath but still agreed to take the call.Julian handed me the phone."Say whatever you need to say," I said indifferently."Aralyn, do you know what Zach did today?" Shayne's tone was harsh."No," I replied coldly.Shayne suppressed his anger. "You should check online first.""Later, I'll take Zach to the Hughes residence. You'd better understand the whole situation before deciding what's fair."Before I could refuse, Shayne had already hung up."You don't want to get involved in their conflict, do you?" Julian asked.I nodded. "I hate

Upon hearing that, I was stunned and looked at Zach in surprise.The evidence is right in front of your face, and you still want to throw dirt on me? Shayne, I'm not an idiot! And I'm not mute! I have a mouth; I can explain myself," Zach said disdainfully.Julian raised his hand, signaling Shayne to shut up. He gestured toward Zach and said, "Go on.""After Luna forced him to get a vasectomy, she was afraid he'd get mad, so she used the baby as leverage to threaten him." Zach didn't even need to think to figure out Luna's tactics."Then at the hospital, Shayne showed up right on time and stopped Luna. Luna cried in front of him and told him that I said Shayne didn't want the baby, which upset her so much that she wanted to get rid of the baby."Zach's face was full of unconcealed disdain. "Anyone with half a brain wouldn't believe such an excuse. But unfortunately, some people don't have a brain at all."Shayne took a deep breath.Zach didn't care how ugly Shayne's expression lo

After listening to the discussion between the two, Julian had a clear understanding of the situation. "From my standpoint, he isn't wrong. In order to prevent unexpected situations, he considers the consequences in advance and then prepares countermeasures accordingly. That's a smart approach."Julian admired Zach.If Zach had never harmed Aralyn, perhaps he would have brought Zach to his side and nurtured him.What a pity.Julian would never allow someone who had harmed Aralyn to stay around her.Shayne initially thought that since Julian was an adult, he would take his side. But Julian's response surprised him."But—""No buts," Zach cut him off."Shayne, whenever something happens, you only believe what Luna says. You don't use your brain at all. That's why you lost your wife and your stock prices dropped. All of this is the price you paid for your stupidity."The more Shayne listened, the angrier he became. Just as he was about to reprimand Zach, Julian spoke up."Actuall

Smiling, I said disdainfully, "Shayne, you're out of control and you lash out at others impulsively. And you think I orchestrated this? You're not even worth me wasting my thoughts on you."After saying that, I turned to Julian, who was beside me. "Take your time chatting. I'm heading upstairs to work."Julian nodded calmly. "I'll come find you in a bit.""Alright," I said before going upstairs.Julian then turned to Shayne and said, "Have you noticed that you always lose control when it comes to Luna?"Shayne thought about it seriously and eventually frowned.It did seem to be the case.Julian continued, "The way you act shows that you love Luna. Since that's the case, why don't you just admit it?""Admit it and live with Luna. That'd be best for the both of us because that way, we can each be with the person we love," Julian added in his thoughts."I don't know why I lose control, but one thing I'm sure of—I wouldn't call what I feel for Luna 'love.'"Seeing that after all

I couldn't understand how Shayne still thought he didn't love Luna when he was this biased toward her.Or did someone give Shayne the illusion that made him believe that he loved me?I really wanted to know.After I finished speaking, Julian didn't say anything.The two of us remained silent for a long time. Just as I was about to speak and find a topic to continue the conversation, Julian calmly asked, "When you saw Zach being bullied, did it make your heart ache?"Instead of answering, I asked back, "Why would it? He may be young, but there's no denying that he has the ability to protect himself. And the way he retaliates against his opponents is flawless. He wasn't foolishly bullied."I spoke sincerely. "I was actually quite happy seeing Shayne suffer. After all, before I officially take revenge on him, he has already gotten what he deserved."As for whether I have any other feelings toward Zach, I think I don't because from the moment he helped Luna and caused me to have a m

Shayne realized that ever since Luna appeared by his side, incidents like this had been happening more and more frequently.It seemed that in most cases, it was because Luna would cry in front of him, sobbing and telling him that she had been wronged. Then, seeing Luna's tear-streaked face, he couldn't help but feel distressed.The end result was always the same. Luna would quietly tell him who had hurt her, and he would rush over to stand up for her.Of course, the people Luna accused of never backed down.They would always curse him out and then present evidence proving that they had never even interacted with Luna. In other words, Luna had fabricated the accusations.Shayne couldn't help but find it funny.In the beginning, Luna claimed that Aralyn was jealous of her.Every time he confronted Aralyn, she always fought back.This time, the same thing happened.Looking back, Shayne realized there were many details in this incident that he hadn't noticed before.It all starte

How did this situation blow up so much?Luna bit her lip.Now that Shayne knew Zach had never contacted her, he would start having doubts about her.After thinking it over for a long time, she decided to call Shayne.Shayne picked up quickly. "What do you want to say?""Shayne…"Luna didn't even know how to explain. After a long silence, she finally said, "Do you not believe me either?"Shayne felt a headache coming on. "The fact that you're calling me means you've already seen the news online. So tell me, when the evidence is right in front of me, how am I supposed to believe you?"Luna was at a loss for words. She paused for a while and replied, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. You know I'm pregnant. My memory has been getting worse."Shayne let out a cold laugh. "Go on.""I remember now!" Luna suddenly thought of a great excuse."Maybe it was some time ago when I went to fetch Zach from the kindergarten—that was when he told me."This excuse was laughably terrible.Shayne

Thinking of this, Luna took out the appointment slip for an abortion from her bag and snapped a photo before sending it to him.When Rowan received the message and opened the photo, he was so shocked that his entire body stiffened. He quickly asked, "You don't want our child anymore?"His mind went blank, and his hands started shaking. He transferred all his money to Luna and hurriedly messaged her. "I know it's not much and not enough for you to spend. But I will work hard to make money. Please keep the baby."Luna noticed how nervous Rowan was, and the heavy weight on her heart finally lifted.It seemed she was still wanted by someone.She was still attractive.Luna returned Rowan's money to him and said, "I made Shayne angry a while ago. He refused to give me any living expenses, so I purposely made this appointment to scare him."Rowan had felt uneasy when he saw his money was refunded, but after reading Luna's message, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Luna continued,

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
