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 was thrilled that Luna was on her side. "Yes!""Then let's do what we should do. I'll go convince Shayne, and you handle the contract termination," Luna said confidently."No problem!"…After hanging up, Luna initially planned to call Shayne. But on second thought, she decided that something this important should be discussed in person. Hence, she instructed the driver to take her to Shayne's company.The employees at Shayne's company all knew her and were aware of her relationship with Shayne, so no one stopped her.Luna made her way to Shayne's office easily. She knocked on the door, and after hearing him grant permission to enter, she pushed it open and walked in.Shayne was the only one in the office.Luna sat down in front of him, cupping her face in her hands and staring at him.Shayne was still busy. "If you've got something to say, just say it.""Don't you think it's unfair that we invested a lot of money in Julian, but only got a small portion in return? Doesn

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

"Will my income skyrocket and surpass Aralyn's? Will I earn tens of millions in a single month?" Luna thought.Thinking of these figures, Luna couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. She forced herself to calm down and looked at Shayne across from her. "You're busy with work and don't have time to keep me company. I won't bother any longer.""Alright. Be careful on your way back," Shayne said."Okay."Luna left the office and got into the car, still feeling as if she were dreaming.She was used to relying on men and had never thought that, with her own abilities alone, she could also live a worry-free and relatively happy life.Luna turned her head to look out the window.If the company that signed her wasn't Pearce Group but instead a company that valued her abilities, would she then be able to become independent?Luna only entertained the thought briefly before lowering her gaze.It didn't matter if no company signed her.If she earned enough money, she could start

"But when it comes to Shayne, that's not negotiable. I have to be with you to feel at ease."Seeing Julian so firm, I stopped trying to argue and headed downstairs.Shayne's car was parked right in front of Hughes Group. I looked at him from a distance and slowly came to a stop in front of him.Shayne got straight to the point. "Aralyn, I've never said anything about you having a man. But don't you think you've gone too far?"Shayne suddenly felt incredibly pathetic, having to use such a reason just to interact with Aralyn. And what made it even worse was that just seeing Aralyn's face made him feel as if he was no longer a walking corpse but a living, breathing human again.That feeling was grounding. He liked it."She's pregnant. How could you provoke her?"I was completely confused. "Provoke her? I have no time for that. Shayne, even if you're in a bad mood and looking for someone to vent your anger on, I'm not exactly a logical choice. You must not know, but I'm incredibly b

Shayne remained silent for a long time before finally explaining, "Is it possible that because your life is going well, you want to show off in front of the woman who stole your man?""That would only be the case if I still loved you. Only then would I keep thinking about you and be unwilling to let you go. And after doing well for myself, I'd want to prove something to you both."But the thing is, I stopped caring about you a long time ago. So, whether I live well or not, I have no reason to show off to either of you. Also, you said I reached out to Luna to bully her. Tell me how I contacted her, then," I retorted.Shayne immediately answered, "Your phone.""I've already blocked both of your numbers." I laughed.Shayne went silent."You're truly someone in my past now. My happiest moments are when Willow and Julian are by my side and when I don't have to deal with you. This may sound harsh to you, but it's the truth. Leaving you has only made me happier. "Why would I do someth

Shayne stood frozen in place, watching Aralyn's departing figure.Because of Luna, he had come to bother Aralyn, but this would only make her hate him more.However, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't have any legitimate reason to see Aralyn.Shayne was deeply confused.What could he possibly do to interact with Aralyn without making her angry?…We arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten.Willow had just finished school. Spotting me, she held onto Pamela and ran toward me. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"I bent down and picked Willow up, saying affectionately, "I missed you too."Willow leaned into my arms happily, giggling.Pamela also ran to Ximena, cuddling up to her.Willow looked at Pamela.Julian could guess what Willow was thinking. "Didn't you two want to know how toy airplanes fly the other day? I've specially invited a teacher to our house tonight to give a lesson."He turned to Pamela and asked, "Do you want to join us?"Pamela looked at Ximena eagerly. "Can

Shayne froze."Dad, do you need me to remind you how you've treated me since you divorced Mom?"Zach used to feel heartbroken when he thought about everything that had happened during that time. But he came to terms with it eventually.Aralyn had stayed by Shayne's side when he was broke, giving her all unconditionally. But in Shayne's eyes, Aralyn was always just a useless housewife.When his first love came back, Shayne discarded Aralyn without hesitation.What did that make him?Shayne opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. "Luna mistreated me. I told you honestly about the things she did to me, but all you thought was that I had something against Luna. You even started arguments with me over her," Zach said expressionlessly.He then laughed. "Then, after I moved out of the house, I was finally free from Luna's abuse. But you and Grandma preferred Luna's child. You even told me outright that you wouldn't give me a single penny anymore."When Zach first heard those wor

He had been with Stephanie for so many years. Even though they had never talked about marriage, he had always thought their relationship was fine the way it was.Stephanie had never pressured him.She had always given him enough space, supporting him no matter what he did, always believing unconditionally that he would succeed.It was only after being with Stephanie that he had slowly grown into someone who could stand on his own.Even if he no longer felt romantic love for Stephanie, that was only because that love had turned into familial love.He had never thought about what life would be like without her because he didn't want to leave her.Spencer thought that once he got used to this kind of life and stopped being afraid of marriage, marrying Stephanie wouldn't be a bad idea.He never imagined that she would actually grow tired of him.He began to tear up.As for Kelly, he really thought she was no different from Shayne. Both were friends he could chat and hang out with.

That way, when others criticized them, they could just curse them back. Dirty-minded people saw filth in everything.However, Shayne didn't voice out his thoughts. He just calmly looked at Spencer and said, "If you still want to keep being friends with Kelly, then maybe you should try dating her instead."If he really couldn't let go of Kelly, there was a high chance Stephanie would never forgive him.Shayne said lightly, "Maybe after you try, you'll realize you and Kelly are actually a better match."The tears in Spencer's eyes stopped suddenly. He stared at Shayne in shock. "I don't like Kelly!"Shayne's voice was heavy. "But you made your girlfriend suffer because of Kelly, didn't you? Doesn't that mean Kelly is more important to you than your girlfriend?"Spencer was stunned for a long time.Shayne continued, "If you can't figure out what you really want, you'll lose everything in the end."He threw out that line and stood up to leave.However, Spencer grabbed his sleeve.

"I believed it. Kelly even said that if Stephanie really wanted to break up with me, she'd move out of my place."Even though we weren't married and we were just dating, we were already living together. Kelly said if I used moving out as a threat, Stephanie would cave."The more Shayne listened, the more silent he became. How could Spencer be even dumber than he had been back then?But seeing his friend hurting, he didn't have the heart to rub salt in the wound.Shayne asked, "You didn't seriously believe what Kelly said, did you?""Yeah." Tears slid down Spencer's cheeks. "But before I even had the chance to threaten her, Stephanie had already packed up all her stuff and left me."That day I came home, full of confidence, thinking that as soon as I spoke up, she'd make up with me. But… I opened the door and saw that all the photos of us hanging on the wall had been taken down."The woman who used to wait for me at home with dinner ready was gone. Everything that belonged to her

"I didn't say anything before because I thought there was no point," Spencer said.Spencer wasn't stupid. If he couldn't even see through all of that, he had no business running a company. He just never took it seriously before.He figured Stephanie would just throw a small tantrum at most, and that would be it. He never thought it would lead to such serious consequences.He continued, "Did you really think I was that dumb? That I couldn't tell what you were doing?"Kelly stayed silent.Spencer couldn't be bothered to say anything more to her. He got in his car and drove away.He arrived at a bar, ordered a few bottles of liquor, and then called Shayne. "Are you free? Come find me. I'm in a bad mood."Shayne had just gotten home, planning to spend some time with his wife and kids. But hearing Spencer's tone, he immediately said, "Okay."He turned to Luna and said, "Spencer's looking for me. I'm heading out for a bit."Luna, exhausted from a full day of work, didn't feel like d

Kelly froze. "She's really willing to break up with you?"Spencer nodded. "She told me not to go looking for her anymore."As he spoke, it felt like needles were stabbing his heart.He had always been certain that Stephanie loved him. He had been so sure that she would never leave him.So, he had gotten arrogant, thinking no matter what he did, she would always forgive him.But he had forgotten that…Stephanie was human, too.She could get hurt, too.Spencer said, "She wasn't just throwing a tantrum. She thought it over carefully and decided she'd be better off without me."Seeing his pained expression, Kelly moved closer and pulled him into a hug."She really doesn't know how lucky she was," she said. "Meeting a guy as good as you and still letting you go? Isn't she scared someone else will swoop in and steal you away?"To Spencer, her words were like kicking him while he was down. "But I only like her. I don't want anyone else."Kelly knew that if she asked now, "What abo

Spencer asked, "Just because of one little argument?""In your eyes, maybe it was just a little argument," Stephanie said calmly. "But for me, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this relationship, I was the one who always gave more."No matter what Kelly did, the one who ended up hurt was always me. You only had to take her side and blame me to settle everything. So, to you, it was always just small stuff."She continued, "Nobody wants to spend their whole life being wronged like that. I don't either. So, after that day, I really thought it through…"How much love do I still have left for you? Is it enough to keep tolerating you and her? The answer was no. I even realized at that moment that I didn't love you anymore."Forget tolerating both of you. Even just dealing with one of you felt unbearable. Then, I thought, since it's gotten to this point… We might as well break up."When Stephanie said this, her eyes carried a relaxed smile. "I just haven't figured ou

Shannon shook her head. "That's why I really don't think much of Luna. If it weren't for our son liking her…"Patrick understood how Shannon felt. "Honestly, we did wrong by Luna before. Once she's willing to come back, we should make it up to her as much as we can."Shannon was unwilling, but seeing Patrick insist, she could only mumble, "Fine, we'll do what you say.""Okay."…Hannah noticed that over the past few days, Patrick and Shannon hadn't contacted her at all, and she immediately found it strange.In the past, the two elders were very close to her son, almost seeing him every day. What was going on now?After putting her son to sleep, Hannah took the initiative and called Shannon. "Mrs. Cunningham..."Shannon frowned and glanced at Patrick, speaking in a low voice, "It's a call from Hannah."Patrick's face darkened almost instantly, but he forced himself to hold it in. "Don't tell her we went to see Rowan, and don't let on that we know the truth. If she wants to fool

Rowan shook his head. "If it were really that simple, that would be nice."Patrick didn't understand why Rowan said that.Rowan continued, "Before Luna and I divorced, she had already guessed you were lying, so she made it very clear to Mason…"If I chose to come back and help you, she would divorce me. If I stayed with her, she would continue living the hard life with me."Patrick hadn't expected the truth to be like this. His face turned even uglier. Shannon was also in pain.Rowan tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling. "But in the end, I was too scared the company would fall apart, so I chose to go back. To completely cut ties with me, she went and started dating Shayne."At first, Luna still had hope for him. After all, they had truly loved each other for so long.But over time, through all the back-and-forth, she probably realized he was never going to change, so she finally gave up completely.Recently, the comics she created have been doing very well. Because of tha

Rowan said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."Patrick followed behind Rowan and asked, "Have you thought about what to do with Mason in the future?"Rowan didn't take the question seriously. "Why would I?""He's your only child. If you don't acknowledge him, you'll end our family line."Rowan didn't know why, but looking at the streetlights and the thinning crowd around him, he felt unusually calm. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"When they reached the restaurant, he handed the menu to his mother. "See what you want to eat."Shannon picked a light vegetarian dish and said, "We just didn't expect Hannah to lie to us!"Rowan crossed his legs and repeated her words. "You didn't expect Hannah to lie to you?"Patrick ordered two meat dishes before saying, "Exactly. Who would've thought she would dare lie about something like that?"Rowan stared at his father. "So, just because you said it, even if you had doubts, you really thought I cheated on her with Luna…"Shouldn't you ha
