When Mark returned to his office, he took out the project proposals and handed them to Donald. "I've reviewed these projects.""Aren't these projects supposed to be discussed with Julian?" Donald asked.Mark raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Do you really think Mr. Hughes would personally handle such small projects?""Who else, then?" Donald countered.Mark sat down across from him. "If Mr. Hughes needs to handle such small projects, even if he had 48 hours a day, it still wouldn't be enough. Mr. Hughes is a busy person. If you're unwilling to discuss this, we can assign the project to someone else. You're not the only option."Donald's expression darkened slightly. "I understand.""Good, then let's get started."Donald glanced at Yasmin.Understanding his intention, Yasmin sat next to Mark. "Can you tell us what Mr. Hughes is busy with these days?""My job description does not include revealing Mr. Hughes' schedule, so please be mindful of that," Mark responded indifferently.

"If I used my position for personal gain, Aralyn would probably even thank me."As Mark's words fell, Donald and Yasmin's expressions dimmed.Mark ignored them and left. But before he did, he glanced at the office behind him and sent Julian a message."Mr. Hughes, Aralyn's father and sister are in the company."Julian replied, "Got it."Mark believed Julian would handle everything, so he left the company, planning to take care of the office building matters.Just then, a notification sounded. He glanced at it, seeing that Aralyn had transferred the money. It was a considerable amount, close to ten million.Mark checked his savings. After years of living frugally, he had saved several tens of millions. He used it all to buy the office above Alice's.After handling everything, he proceeded to run the paperwork for establishing the company. Not only that, he had also started recruiting employees as well as drafting company benefits and regulations.…Donald glanced at the doorwa

But later, as they spent more time together, Rowan's gentleness and thoughtfulness gradually made Luna fall in love with him.Luna even thought that if possible, she wouldn't mind spending her whole life with Rowan.However, Rowan's parents hated her. Ever since she'd met them, they had been nitpicking and criticizing her, disapproving of her in every way.At first, Luna could understand their perspective. Her family background was indeed inferior to theirs, so they naturally looked down on her.Hence, she worked hard to please them. But no matter how much effort she put in, she never succeeded.Luna took a deep breath, trying to calm down.Now, she hoped Aralyn's work would become even more popular because she was Luna's guiding light.Whatever path Aralyn took, she would follow. And it always led to big money.Right now, though, she had only designed the drafts. She hadn't contacted any manufacturers.Luna didn't have time to dwell on sadness or regret. She had too much to d

"We just want to ask where Rowan is." Patrick spoke in a tone that allowed no refusal.Shannon chimed in, "If you don't tell us, don't blame me for not being kind.""Heh." Luna hadn't expected that even at this point, these two were still threatening her."You were never kind to me back when I was with Rowan. And you always spoke to me harshly. I endured it for Rowan's sake. You preferred another woman and wanted her to be your daughter-in-law. I fulfilled your wish of divorcing Rowan. I did everything you wanted me to do."Luna finally understood why women had to have money. It was so they could speak with confidence.At least now, she wasn't afraid of anything. "We have nothing to do with each other anymore. What right do you have to order me around? What makes you think I would still speak to you politely?""Because you want to get back together with my son!" Patrick shouted.Luna sneered. "I don't know when you started having such unrealistic thoughts. But I can tell you tha

"I can love my son on my own," Luna said coldly.Patrick hadn't expected that after just a short time apart, Luna's attitude would change so drastically. He had thought he could still manipulate her.Patrick looked at Shannon."This is definitely her tactic! She thinks that by saying this, we will be thrown off and then agree to let her and Rowan remarry!" Shannon said irritably.Luna heard their conversation but didn't care. "No. I only married Rowan because I thought making money was difficult. If I relied only on myself, I might never live a good life. So, I wanted to find a rich man to provide me with a comfortable life. But I started making money myself and realized that it wasn't that hard."It was Shannon's turn to be speechless.Luna continued, "The things you used to attract me are nothing now. They're not worth keeping. You can go ahead and do whatever you want. If you really want Rowan to go back, I can talk to him about it when I meet him later."My only request is t

"Mom, can you please divorce Dad?"It was 9:00 pm. I was trying to put Zach to sleep. Just when I thought he was about to drift off, he suddenly asked that question.That short question left me stunned for a long minute. My hand patting on his back also froze.I felt a painful twinge in my chest.Over the years, my relationship with my child's father had been pretty good. Logically, a child nurtured by love should feel happy living in such an environment.And yet…Why did he have such thoughts?Puzzled, I asked, "Why do you say that?" I softened my voice in case I unintentionally scared him."You never let me eat fried chicken or ice cream..."As he was almost asleep, his voice was unclear and tinged with the innocence typical of his age.I didn't know whether to feel amused or disappointed.To think that he wanted me to divorce his dad because of something so trivial...Children sure were naive.As I listened to his breathing gradually grow steady, I knew he had fallen as

With the tablet in my hands, I left Zach's bedroom and headed straight for Shayne's study.But I couldn't understand...Out of everyone, why Luna?The first time I heard about Luna was at my wedding.Shayne treated me well back then. When I was feeling down, he would tell me it was okay, and that nobody was perfect. He would patiently stay with me until I felt better. When I got sick, he would drop everything to take care of me.Because of that, I resolutely decided to marry for love, even if that meant moving far away from home.Just as I was in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet that signified purity and looking forward to our life together, I overheard his friends discussing his first love."I always thought Shayne and Luna would end up together. They were so passionately in love back then.""Exactly. They looked like a match made in heaven.""What a pity."The regret in their voices was genuine.At that moment, I began to doubt whether Shayne truly loved me.

Shayne's other hand pinched my chin, forcing me not to evade, and then his lips pressed down on mine."You'll like it."…Zach was in the senior class of kindergarten.School started at 8:00 am every day.It took about 20 minutes to drive to the kindergarten. To avoid being late, he would leave home at 7:30 am every day.I, on the other hand, got up at 6:30 am to cook breakfast.Today's breakfast was a bit simpler. It was ravioli that I prepared last night.The broth was the troublesome part. I needed to simmer fresh chicken broth.I lay bay leaves at the bottom of the ceramic pot, placed a whole cleaned chicken inside, and finally placed a few sprigs of thyme on top. I then covered it and turned the heat to high.Once the water boiled, I lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of chicken broth wafted up to greet me.After adding a bit of salt, I turn the heat down to simmer.Now that I was done with this, I happily left the kitchen and went to the dressing room to help the boys

Julian raised an eyebrow. "That's true."He watched Mark leave before slowly walking over to me.Seeing me busy drawing designs for peripheral merchandise and switching to working on my comic whenever I got tired, he remained silent for a long time.Finally, he asked, "Can I invest in your company?"I looked up and met Julian's gaze. "Hmm?""Our company shouldn't be short on funds in the short term."After thinking it over seriously, I decided it was better to refuse Julian. "If we run into financial difficulties later, I'll come to you."Although Julian was a little disappointed, he had no choice but to accept it. "By the way, how's the progress on your other comic?"He was referring to the romance comic I was working on as a side project.I had been drawing it a lot recently, though I hadn't released it yet.I opened my folder and glanced at it. "Take a look."Julian took a quick look and said with satisfaction, "Update it constantly. The company will put all its resources

"I'm not busy," Mark said.He probably had been busy for so long that he had gotten used to it. Now, he handled many things with ease."Since I'm taking so much money from you, it's only right that I help you handle all these things. But since we're starting a company, can I invest in it?"I was stunned. "But right now, our profit-sharing is about the same."If he invested, wouldn't that mean I'd be making less and less money?Mark quickly explained, "Don't worry. Even after I invest, our profit-sharing will remain the same."The main reason was that he believed I had top-tier strategic thinking and operational ability. Besides, I was the one who created this brand.After hesitating for a while, he finally revealed his true thoughts. "My position isn't irreplaceable to you. But it's different if I invest."I understood what Mark meant—he wanted to have a real stake in the company. "Alright. But if we're setting up a company, shouldn't we buy an office building? We might not be

I remembered something about the part-time business and was about to call Mark when he pushed the door open and walked in.His face was full of excitement. "I have good news for you.""Hmm?"Mark leaned in and asked, "Do you remember when I told you that the collectibles are selling really well?"I nodded. "Of course.""It also boosted our peripheral merchandise sales."Mark estimated the numbers roughly. Next month, the money I would receive would be at least several tens of millions and possibly even over a billion.His share wouldn't be small either.Mark's heart was practically in his throat. In the past, he would never have imagined that working for someone else could one day earn him this much money."Right now, whether it's the comics or other merchandise, sales have skyrocketed. The printing factory has ramped up production significantly. I heard that employees over there have started working overtime, and the overtime pay is really high."However, they still can't ke

Shayne's company was doing well. Ever since they had collaborated with Shayne's company, their revenue had skyrocketed. Buying these things was no problem for him."Is just this one set enough?" he asked.Luna was making her own money now, so she understood how hard it was to earn. But on second thought, since Shayne was willing to spend, she might as well let him.Hence, she pointed to a few more sets."I'll take all of these," Shayne said to the salesperson."Pick out a few sets for the kids too."Luna wanted to choose expensive, value-retaining jewelry. But those were obviously not suitable for children.Her heart raced. The total for these sets was already close to tens of millions. She should be satisfied.She then picked out gold jewelry for the children.Shayne paid for everything.Luna didn't like Shayne. But because of these pieces of jewelry, she found him much more pleasing to the eye. "You're so nice.""I hope that when I'm broke, you'll still want to be with me.
