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

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

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

"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

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

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

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
