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,

"It proves that in the hearts of men, I am noble and worthy of them spending so much money on me. But Aralyn is different. Men see her as cheap. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so stingy with her."After saying this, Luna finally voiced her true thoughts, "So, instead of dating Aralyn, you should really consider me. Think about it carefully. Why is someone like me so much more worthy of being loved?"Hearing the notification sound from his phone, Rowan picked it up and glanced at the screen. In an instant, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, extinguishing all the passion he had just felt.He never expected that his heartfelt confession would be used by Luna to flatter another man.Rowan suddenly felt ridiculous.At this moment, he finally saw Luna's true nature. He decided that from now on, he would never go soft on Luna again.Rowan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.He couldn't understand why, even now, he had naively believed that Lu

"If Aralyn was softer that day, do you think Shayne would hesitate even for a second before leaving you to go to Aralyn?"Luna was at a loss for words.Rowan continued, "When that happens, won't you feel humiliated?"Luna hadn't expected Julian to suddenly become so sharp, but she decided not to retaliate. "Don't say that about me. I'll feel sad."She had originally thought Julian would ease up and maybe even comfort her a little.But to her surprise, Julian went completely silent and ignored her.Luna felt a bit disappointed, but she still scrolled through their chat history with some confusion.In the past, Julian hadn't been too warm to her, but at least he wasn't as hostile.However, he was completely different today.Julian seemed to be targeting her at every turn.After reading through their conversation, Luna finally realized her mistake. Without meaning to, she had given Julian the impression that she was entangled with multiple men at the same time.Now she understo

But if Julian said it outright, he was afraid Aralyn would overthink it. She would wonder if he still didn't fully trust her, if he was just using her, and so on.And if he brought up wanting kids…Aralyn had fallen from the stairs before, suffering severe injuries that left her unable to have children.He was afraid that telling her would upset her.After thinking it through, Julian decided not to bring up the topic.Looking at Aralyn's confused expression, he smiled and asked, "After spending this time together, what do you think of me?""You're amazing!" I praised him, not holding back.Honestly, Julian was the kind of man most people dreamed of—handsome and highly capable of making money.He was serious about work, yet gentle and caring toward his family.Sometimes, just the thought of being with a man like Julian made me feel as if I was being spoiled.I even wondered if it was all just a dream.Julian's expression softened. "Have you ever thought about when you'd want

"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

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
