A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 745
Julian followed the others upstairs.Downstairs, men in suits and women in elegant dresses held wine glasses, chatting and laughing. It made for a lively atmosphere.Only two people were an exception.Donald kept staring at the entrance. "Did you see Mr. Hughes?"Yasmin, bored but forcing herself to persist, replied, "No!"If it weren't for the fact that she liked Julian so much and that he was incredibly rich, she wouldn't have bothered wasting her time here.Donald looked at Yasmin. "Why don't we start acting now?"Yasmin rolled her eyes impatiently. "And if Julian doesn't show up, who am I acting for? That would just be a waste of effort."Hearing Yasmin say that, Donald realized he was being too impatient and forced himself to calm down.But the banquet had already started, and Julian was still nowhere to be seen. It irritated him, so he got up and walked to the entrance. "Excuse me, has Mr. Hughes arrived?" he asked the greeter.The greeter looked at Donald. "He's been h

Yasmin hadn't had a chance to respond yet.The man beside her immediately said, "Yes, call the police right now!"He had done a good deed and ended up being falsely accused.Now, he just wanted a fair and just resolution.Of course, Yasmin couldn't let them call the police. "For all I know, you might not even actually call the police."The event organizer asked, "Then what do you want us to do?""Bring Julian here!" Yasmin demanded, showing her true intention."Otherwise, no one else will do."The crowd fell silent.Initially, they might not have fully understood the situation. But after hearing that, they got the message.She didn't trust the police, but she trusted Julian?Julian was just a company CEO.It was obvious this was all aimed at Julian.…As the crowd whispered among themselves, Julian stood on the second floor, watching the spectacle unfold coldly.The organizer approached Julian and asked how he wanted to handle the situation."First, get a few well-respe

But Julian never showed up.Why?Yasmin couldn't understand.…After dinner, I took Willow with me to pick up Julian. Just as we arrived at the hotel entrance, Julian walked out.He looked at me and Willow, his expression as gentle as ever. "Was it tiring to make this special trip?"Willow immediately burrowed into Julian's arms. "Not at all! As long as I get to see Daddy, I'm happy."Julian picked up Willow and asked indulgently, "Is that so?"Willow nodded firmly.I got into the car, and Julian handed Willow to me.Just as we were about to drive off, Yasmin ran out, her eyes red. "Julian, do you know what I just went through?"Julian looked at her. "What?"Yasmin clenched the hem of her clothes. "I was almost assaulted at the banquet, and you remained indifferent the entire time."Then, what kind of reaction was he supposed to have?Julian didn't understand. "Someone has already taken care of the matter. If what you said is true, they will ensure you get justice. But no

A whole bunch of beautiful women would have already come looking for him.After saying that, Julian drove off without hesitation.…Yasmin was left standing there, watching Julian's departing figure from afar. She stomped her feet in frustration and turned to Donald. "Dad! What do you think we should do? I followed your instructions exactly today, but Julian still refused to step forward and help me."Donald had a headache over the situation as well. He never expected that those people would install surveillance cameras inside the room, let alone have the incident recorded.He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. We'll have to seek help from someone else."Yasmin was confused. "Who?""Luna."Donald couldn't even be bothered to explain. He dialed Luna's number and reported everything that had happened. Then he said, "The plan was completely useless. Julian didn't fall for it at all.""Well, obviously. Do you people think Julian is an idiot? Do you really believe he'd

Donald was afraid she would lose the motivation to pursue Julian, so he let out a cold snort and said, "Considering what you did to Aralyn back then, if you were Aralyn, would you forgive someone who bullied you like that?""No." Yasmin shook her head.What she had done back then was indeed out of line and downright inhumane.…Willow sat in the car, resting her head on my arm. She then looked up at me and asked, "Mommy, who was that lady just now?""Someone..." I carefully chose my words. "The daughter of a scumbag. Neither she nor her father has good intentions, so just ignore them."Willow pursed her lips. "I can tell. She wants to seduce Daddy and make him her husband! She's a bad person!"Seeing his precious daughter so upset, Julian took the initiative to comfort her. "Don't worry, Daddy won't be with her. Daddy loves you and Mommy."Willow was barely reassured. "But if Daddy ignores her, she'll try to stir up trouble in front of Mommy. She wants to use this tactic to r

"No!" Shayne choked up as tears kept falling.Although every time in the past, he had realized that he could never truly hold onto Aralyn, none of those moments had made him as heartbroken as this one because with a marriage certificate binding them together, it meant that he really had no chance anymore.Shayne bit his lip. "No, Donald, you promised me! You should keep your word no matter what! You can't go back on your word!"Hearing Shayne's breakdown, Donald simply hung up.He wanted to help too, but he had to actually have the ability to do so.…Yasmin went home, growing more and more frustrated the more she thought about it.Why was it that an old woman like Aralyn, after getting such a great man, could keep such a tight leash on him?She didn't let him have any contact with other women!…Yasmin changed her number and called me. "Be honest, are you just jealous of how young and beautiful I am?"Jealous? What was there for me to be jealous of?I pointed out the flaw

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have made enough money," I said.Yasmin sneered. "Do you think I believe you?""That's up to you." With that, I hung up.Yasmin stared at the phone screen, speechless.At that moment, Donald pushed the door open and walked in. "What did she just say to you?"Yasmin stared at Donald. "She said she can't be bothered to deal with you right now."Donald didn't mind at all. "She saw everything I did. It would be a problem if she could actually forgive me."Hearing that, Yasmin felt a bit less resentful. She asked, "What should we do next?"Donald spoke unhurriedly. "Do you know how Aralyn managed to marry Julian in the first place?"Yasmin shook her head. She spent all her time hanging out with friends, so she had no time to think about these things."Because of Julian's daughter, Willow," Donald replied.Yasmin looked at Donald."At first, it was because Willow wanted a mom, so Julian invited Aralyn to his home to be her mother. Later, as they spent time

Charlotte glanced at Sophia before finally speaking. "Do you know what happened to Aralyn before she divorced my son?"Amber shook her head. "No."Charlotte lowered her voice. "She was pregnant with my son's child, but she fell down the stairs."Shaking her head, she added, "They say she lost a lot of blood. At that time, Aralyn looked extremely miserable."Sophia's expression darkened even more. "So, you came to my house just to tell my mom how pitiful Aralyn was? In that case, you can leave now."In her opinion, Charlotte was inherently rude. Nothing good ever came out of her mouth.There was no need to deal with her. Sophia could just throw her out.Seeing Sophia about to drive her away, Charlotte quickly said, "Of course not! I just wanted to tell you both that Aralyn can't have children anymore! If you don't make Julian leave her, I can guarantee that your family will have no descendants in the future!"Amber paused.Even Sophia was stunned. In the eyes of the older gener

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
