It was no wonder Aralyn held on until that point before finally giving up on Shayne.Perhaps in Aralyn's mind, Shayne was still the Shayne from back then—the one who was willing to give up everything for her.Luna gently patted Shayne and said, "It's all in the past now."Shayne's voice was choked with emotion as he said, "Aralyn was foolish too. It took me less than half a year to win her over. The things I did for her were, to put it bluntly, just my way of lashing out after losing you. "But she thought I loved her, so she stayed by my side and treated me well without complaint for years. Why was she so dumb? If only she had realized it sooner and left me earlier. Wouldn't she have suffered less?"The more Shayne spoke, the harder he cried.Luna silently wondered since he was crying so hard right now, what was he doing back then?However, for the sake of keeping her financial support intact, she could only respond softly, "Maybe she realized it early on, but she was willing t

Julian laughed as he spoke, "Otherwise, what if a new suitor appears by your side? Then, as you spend more time with him, you slowly realize that I'm useless aside from making money. Meanwhile, the new suitor is gentle and humorous. Wouldn't that mean I have no chance at all?"His tone was light and teasing.I answered calmly, "As long as you don't betray me, no matter what kind of suitor appears around me, I won't even consider them because you are my only choice."As I spoke, I slowed my cadence. "Because when I was stuck in the depths of despair, you were the one who pulled me out. When others discredited me, you were the one who made me realize that I wasn't as bad as they said. On the contrary, I'm great."You were the one who helped me slowly find myself again and helped me regain my confidence. I thus gradually became better. I am very grateful to you."I leaned against the kitchen doorway as I looked at his side profile and added, "And I love you very much."Julian turn

So, Julian decided to accept the money for now.After staying silent for a moment, Alice continued, "The venue is still at the hotel, but there's a small auditorium that can accommodate several thousand people. I've gone ahead and rented it.""Several thousand people?" Julian was rather surprised when he heard the number. "Are you sure you're not joking?"Alice's voice became smaller. "I only promoted it in the group, but I didn't think they would tell their friends too. Then, they all transferred the money to me one by one. I couldn't just refuse, could I?"Even though the money wasn't hers, collecting it still made her feel quite happy.Julian was speechless.Alice knew what she did was unkind. However, people had already paid, so she needed to make sure they received the best experience possible.As such, she gathered her courage and said, "First, here's the plan for today. You'll go up first and share the key lessons you've learned from your years of entrepreneurship. Then,

Julian watched as Alice devoured her food. Worried that I wouldn't be able to eat, he took the initiative to hand me a large plate. "You should eat too. It's okay if she goes hungry, but I'll feel distressed if you do."I accepted the plate he handed me. "Then I'll eat a little more."Julian smiled uncontrollably. "Good."Alice praised the food between bites. "Wow! This breakfast tastes fantastic! May I know which chef made it? Is he looking for a part-time job? Don't worry, I'll pay him very well!"I couldn't hold back my laughter and quickly turned to look at Julian.Julian remained expressionless as he replied, "You can't afford him."Alice asked in disbelief, "Is there really a chef in this world that I can't afford? My family's financial background may not be the best in the country, but they're still considered prestigious. Besides, my company is about to open soon. I'll be making a good amount of money every month! I can afford it, no matter how much he wants!" She spoke

With that, Alice relaxed against the couch and looked at Julian with a sympathetic expression. Thinking back, she realized that Julian had never intended to participate in this event. It was she who had accepted the money first, using his name for publicity and claiming she would teach everyone what Julian had taught her.Julian, fearing that his reputation would be damaged, had no choice but to step in and take over.Alice sighed and said, "I owe Julian an apology."However, if there was a next time, she would still dare to do it again.I propped my face up with one hand and watched Alice.She continued, "Do you think if I use the same trick next time, Julian would still come over?"Hearing this, Julian glanced at her coldly and said, "Next time, I'll have my legal team sue you. If you don't want to see me in court, you'd better drop that idea after this."His tone was far too serious.Alice snuck a glance at him. She saw that his expression was very serious. It didn't seem

I quickly retorted, "Don't accuse me unfairly. I never said I don't acknowledge you."Julian asked, "If you acknowledge me, then why won't you marry me?"It seemed like this was something Julian truly cared about. Holding his suit, he walked out of the closet. I stood still, watching him.As expected, when you loved someone, you hope they would acknowledge you. You'd also hope that the both of you can be together openly as husband and wife and spend a lifetime together.Julian noticed that I wasn't following him. He stopped and turned to look at me.I calmly explained, "Willow is coming back tonight."Julian looked a little disappointed. He still couldn't get me to agree.I continued, "The two of us need to seriously ask for Willow's opinion. If she doesn't agree, then we'll continue being a couple. If she does agree, we'll get married."Julian knew I was making the right decision, but he was still a little unwilling to accept it. He hoped I would agree to marry him without consid

Aside from those two expenses, all the remaining money belonged to Luna. She roughly estimated her earnings and arrived at a number that was unbelievable. Her heart pounded uncontrollably.She had thought that selling so many books would earn her plenty. However, the profit from the dolls and other merchandise was what truly left her in awe.Luna took out her phone and called the person in charge of shipping. "Hello. I'd like to ask how many of the packages have been sent out so far?"The person in charge was clearly tired, their voice was weak as they replied, "More than half have already been shipped.""Great. This month, I'll triple your salaries." Luna felt that giving them extra pay wouldn't affect her profits.The person in charge asked in surprise, "Really?"Luna didn't expect that she, a person who used to ask others for money, was now giving others money. She replied calmly, "Yeah, but make sure to rest well. Don't push yourselves too hard. If sales are good next month,

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

The more Robert spoke, the more he felt that the mistress was out of her mind.She had already stolen someone else's father, and she wouldn't even let his kid study properly."At the time, the whole school started looking at the first love differently, and some people even gave her a hard time. But the first love never paid them any attention. Not gonna lie, she had an incredibly strong mindset."She knew exactly what her goals were, so she wouldn't let external factors affect her grades because she understood that only through studying could she change her life."Robert sighed. "After looking into all this, I feel as if I'm starting to fall for the first love myself. Even after everything that happened, her grades didn't drop at all in the next exam. In fact, they improved significantly. During a school meeting, they even selected her to give a speech on stage."Suddenly, Shayne could understand why this kind of woman could become Julian's first love.She was smart enough. Her a

Willow shook her head without thinking and said, "No. When my parents had just passed away, no one was willing to take me in. But Daddy did and raised me himself."She added in a small voice, "At the time, there were a lot of important tasks that Daddy needed to handle."Afraid I wouldn't understand, she specifically explained, "The kind of work that absolutely required Daddy to do it. If Daddy didn't go, it wouldn't work. But he still pushed the work to others so he could take care of me."I heard that because of this, a lot of people in the company were complaining about him, thinking he was incompetent."The more Willow spoke, the quieter her voice became. "Back then, Daddy must have suffered a lot of grievances too. They all said that Daddy always put work first. But only I know that in Daddy's eyes, work was never more important than me."I felt happy for Julian. His daughter was smart and could see everything he had done for her. "Exactly, so you see—he loves you. It doesn't

"Mommy, you should go too. After you're done, we'll meet in my room."I smiled and said, "Alright."Willow bounced back to her room happily."Willow doesn't agree with us being together," Julian muttered.Seeing the conflict and distress on his face, I raised my hand and touched his face."Willow is a kid. She's used to the way things are now. If you suddenly tell her there's going to be a big change in her life, of course, she'll struggle to adjust. And of course, she'll worry. You can understand that, right?"Julian nodded.He knew Willow was a thoughtful child."So, we should take our time. One day, she'll be willing to accept us being together," I reassured him.Julian's mood finally improved. "You're right. I've waited so many years already. There's no rush."I asked curiously, "Waited so many years?"What did he mean?"I mean, I've been single for so many years already, so there's no rush to get married now," Julian rescinded, poker-faced.From his expression, I coul

Willow felt a bit nervous. "What is it? You look so serious. I'm a bit scared."I patted Willow's back, signaling her to relax. "It's not a big deal. You can make the decision yourself, so there's no need to worry too much."Only then did Willow let out a sigh of relief.In front of Willow, Julian took my hand, his expression solemn. "Our relationship has reached a new stage. After carefully evaluating everything, I think it's time for us to get married. But we're worried that getting our marriage certificate without informing you would be disrespectful to you."We're also afraid you might feel resistant to it, so we wanted to ask for your opinion first. If you don’t want us to get married, then we won't."Willow was stunned. "You're asking for my opinion on something this important?"Lilia and Gabriel exchanged a glance."Yes, because you're important to us. We both want to have your support," Julian replied calmly.Willow's mind went blank. "This is a huge deal! Since you ask

Even the employees responsible for compiling the reports had all finished their tasks.Alice had already familiarized herself with the situations of all the companies and had helped many of them secure collaborations.After receiving the money, she was in no rush to send it to her friends.Instead, she asked, "Would you prefer me to send you the money after taxes have been deducted, or do you want me to just send all of it, and you handle the taxes yourselves?"Her friends didn't really care about the money. Most of them just wanted to work for Alice to have something to do, so they wouldn't be too idle.Hearing Alice's question, they all responded, "After taxes, of course. Otherwise, It would be a hassle for us to handle the tax payments ourselves.""Got it. Then wait until I take care of the paperwork tomorrow," Alice replied nonchalantly."Alright."Given the situation, Alice felt that the company really needed an accountant. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about these

"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
