"He had a first love."The sadness in Shayne's heart disappeared instantly as he asked in disbelief, "Really?"The other party chuckled. "You don't believe me?""So, Julian is the same as me," Shayne said with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. Initially, he had genuinely believed Julian was as exceptional as Aralyn claimed."Keep looking into it," he continued."Alright."After hanging up the phone, Shayne felt slightly better.As long as he remained patient, when Julian's first love appeared, Julian's attention would naturally be drawn to that person.And just like how he had hurt Aralyn, Julian would also neglect Aralyn because of his first love.When that happened, Shayne could pursue Aralyn for himself.Shayne kept reminding himself to be patient and not to act rashly.As long as Aralyn ended up with him in the end, that would be enough.Shayne took a deep breath.When he looked at Julian again, his gaze was full of mockery."He's still thinking of his first love

"I was just about to bring the evidence to you when Lucas called me. He said if I was willing to tell you that Joseph already apologized to Alice and that Alice has expressed her willingness to forgive Joseph, he would agree to continue investing in me."Julian let out a cold snort and recounted in full detail to Danny how Joseph had brought his little girlfriend to the restaurant to corner Alice. He left nothing out.Upon hearing it, Danny became furious. "If I hadn't called to ask you and blindly agreed to his request, wouldn't that make me a scoundrel selling out my daughter for personal gain? No way!"Julian knew Danny cherished his daughter and worried he might waver, so he said, "Even if he agrees now, he'll still make things difficult for you later. So, it's better to just refuse him outright.""Don't worry! There's no way I'd let my daughter suffer such humiliation!" Danny promised without hesitation. "Hold on, Mr. Hughes. I'll handle this matter and then contact you."J

"And there are no significant loopholes?"The lawyer replied seriously, "That's correct."Julian finally felt reassured. He glanced at Danny and said, "Since we've already blocked their escape route, should we go ahead and publicly announce that our companies have entered into a partnership?""Yes," Danny replied, nodding.Seeing that his presence was no longer needed, the lawyer left voluntarily.Danny immediately called his company to arrange for an official statement to be released, broadcasting to the world that their company had successfully formed a partnership with Hughes Group.Julian also instructed his public relations team to release a similar statement.Danny was beaming with joy.Seated at his desk, Julian looked at Danny. "This project is likely beyond your company's capabilities to handle independently. Should I assign a few employees to assist you?""That would be amazing!" Danny was in disbelief.With Hughes Group backing him up, Danny could ensure the proj

Shayne hadn't expected Luna to be so polite. "No need. Luna, even if we're not married, I still hope you can live well."Luna smiled involuntarily. She knew her charm was not something most people could resist.After hanging up, she immediately contacted Avery to ask how much money would need to be invested initially.Avery was caught off guard by the question. "I'm not sure either. Let me ask our company's secretary.""Okay."…Avery stood at the door of Mark's office and raised her hand to knock."Come in," Mark said coldly.Avery stood before Mark with her head lowered and asked in a small voice, "How much does it cost to invest in Luna's comic so the company would be willing to produce her merchandise?"Mark recalled Julian's words—Luna was problematic.If the merchandise was produced, and customers later learned the truth about Luna's character, they would demand refunds en masse.The company would suffer significant losses.However, the fact that they were already ask

Avery pretended to sound exhausted and said, "Fortunately, I stood my ground. No matter what they said, I kept insisting that I wanted to terminate the contract. They had no choice but to compromise."Luna smiled and praised, "You're amazing.""Of course." Avery accepted Luna's compliment without batting an eye. "You're my friend. It's natural for me to go the extra mile for you.""True." Satisfied with the answer, Luna ended her call with Avery.She then said to Shayne, "Good news! My comic has been released from the contract!"Shayne contacted Henry to inform him that Luna's work had been signed to their company and instructed him to make the news public, ensuring that everyone knew about it.Henry agreed.…The news of Pearce Group signing Luna's comic quickly went viral online.At the same time, other hot topics were also dominating discussions.For example, the Wilson family publicly announced the cancellation of their collaboration with the York family and even declar
