Chapter 537

Author: Walking on Clouds
His voice was low and affectionate. In the quiet of the night, it sounded even more pleasant.

I leaned into his embrace and asked softly, "Does this feel better?"

"Yes," he replied without hesitation.

The marketing department acted swiftly. As soon as they received Mark's instructions, they immediately began executing the plan.

In less than an hour, news of Aralyn's comic book release and strong sales emerged out of nowhere, dominating multiple charts. Photos of Aralyn signing copies of the book also appeared online.

Luna had just been feeling relieved that the sales of her merchandise had already far surpassed Aralyn's.

Even though the products hadn't been manufactured yet, plenty of people had already purchased them.

Most importantly, she didn't have to share the profits with anyone.

That meant she was making more money than Aralyn.

Luna had thought that aside from men, she had already surpassed Aralyn in every other way.

But when she saw that Aralyn's comic had somehow

    "Alright," Luna agreed."I don't want to take risks, and I think neither do you."Emilia sighed. "The publishing industry is tough these days."Luna just smiled. "With me here, you can rest assured.""Then I'll have our company's staff create a book cover for you first, and you can put it up to see how it goes.""Alright."…As Luna had solved a problem that had troubled her for a long time, her mood naturally improved. She was even looking forward to tomorrow.Once the other party sent her the finished cover, she put it on her homepage.After that, she hired people to help hype it up, hoping for good sales. Even if it didn't sell well, she had to at least surpass Aralyn.She could then show off in front of Shayne and Julian, proving that she was better than Aralyn. Then, she could make them admire her and willingly abandon Aralyn to live a good life with her.Her career was her top priority. Only when her comic was recognized could she gain the admiration of others.A smil

    It only made him realize that Luna was very clearly after his money."Very fulfilling," he replied perfunctorily.He was so busy every day that his mind was filled with work; he had no time to spare to think about Luna. He felt happy that way."Do you have money to spend now? Do you need me to give you some?" Luna asked with concern."I do. And no, thank you for your concern." Rowan didn't want to talk to her now, but for Julian's sake, he forced himself to endure it.Luna suddenly felt a bit wronged. The man who used to dote on her now didn't care about her at all."You've become so cold. You said you forgave me, but you actually still resent me, right? I apologized to you, though. And I truly want to reconcile with you."After sending it, she stared at the screen.Rowan looked at it, unsure how to reply. He hesitated for a moment, deciding to use work as an excuse. "I know, but I've been really busy lately.""Then when you're free, can we have a good talk?""Mm."Rowan tos

    Luna wasn't actually thinking of going back to him just because she knew he had money. She wasn't aiming to live a good life with him.She was simply keeping her options open but would prioritize the one that benefitted her the most.If Julian became interested in her, she would immediately leave him and Shayne behind to be with Julian.A sense of bitterness surged in Rowan's heart.He suddenly found himself, the one who had wavered earlier, to be utterly pathetic.Luna hadn't spoken a single truthful word.Naturally, she wasn't worthy of his genuine feelings.Rowan couldn't understand how she could say she loved him one second and then flirt with other men the next.His eyes stung, and everything started to blur. Then, tears ran down his cheeks."I'm with Aralyn and Willow," Rowan replied.Luna almost threw her phone away in frustration. Why? She had driven Aralyn out of Shayne's house. How could Aralyn still meet men from wealthy backgrounds?How could she have a thoughtfu

    "Probably," Shayne replied casually.Luna frowned and asked, "You don't seem alright. What happened?"Shayne confessed honestly, "I went to see a psychologist recently. And then I suddenly realized that ever since I was with Aralyn until now, all I did was do the wrong thing. Luna…"Shayne's voice was filled with pain. "How could I be so stupid? How could I only realize the problem when it's gotten to this point?"Luna heard the hint of sadness in his voice and had a bad feeling about it. "Why are you suddenly saying this?"Shayne was broken, but he couldn't vent to anyone.If Luna hadn't called, he was afraid he would have lost his mind.Shayne said through his tears, "When a person makes a mistake, the first thing they should do is solve the problem. Then, they must apologize and find a way to make amends."But what is this? Why am I trying to provoke her by contacting you? That will only drive her further away from me."Shayne wiped the tears from his face.Luna didn't kno

    Luna thought for a moment and decided to provoke Shayne first.After all, she couldn't win Julian over, and she needed time with Rowan.Neither of them could give her money.And Shayne—her cash machine—was about to slip out of her control, so she decided to use some small tricks to make Shayne continue to spend money on her willingly.Having thought of an idea, she took out her phone and sent Shayne a message. "Since you want to reconcile with Aralyn, then I should be able to find a new boyfriend, right?"Men had a very strong sense of possessiveness over women who once belonged to them.Luna knew very well that when she acted as if she loved Shayne, he probably didn't think much of it.But once she showed that she was about to leave him, Shayne would definitely panic."You know how high maintenance I am. If I don't find someone to support me, the allowance you give me probably won't be enough."Shayne thought about Luna's words.She was indeed quite extravagant. She was alwa

    But Luna had no intention of exposing him. After all, her goal was to spend Shayne's money.As long as Shayne was willing to support her, that was all that mattered. She didn't care about anything else.Still uneasy, Shayne reminded again, "So, we've agreed—you can't be with other men.""You can rest assured about that. As long as you're willing to support me, of course, I'm happy to maintain this arrangement," replied Luna patiently. The most important thing was that Shayne never interfered with any of her decisions. And he didn't live with her. She had plenty of time to build relationships with other men.Even if Aralyn really was foolish enough to break up with Julian and go back to Shayne, it wouldn't affect Luna much.At the very least, she could still act pitiful in front of Rowan and make him take her in.Before doing anything, Luna always liked to leave herself a way out.…Zach pushed open the door and walked into the living room with his head down.Maisy heard the

    Both of them tried to persuade Maisy.Maisy was feeling emotional. Her precious grandson had grown up and now knew how to care for his grandmother. "Alright, then. I'll go tomorrow."Zach smiled happily. "Okay."Maisy pulled Zach to sit beside the couch and began helping him reduce the swelling. Her eyes were full of distress. "It must have hurt so much. Shayne practically hit you as though he wanted you dead. You're his son, not his enemy. Did he really have to go that far?"Zach didn't argue and simply said, "Maybe his brain's gone bad now that he's all alone because he lost his wife due to his stupidity. And now, he doesn't want his child either."Maisy raised an eyebrow and looked at Zach. "I think so."Seeing that his grandmother agreed with him, Zach grinned widely. But his face hurt a lot. The moment he smiled, he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.…Shayne sat alone in his car. After hanging up and comforting Luna, he finally felt a little better.Because of Lun

    The other party was a professional marketer. As soon as they received the money, they got to work immediately.Before long, Luna's new book release was trending.Luna's works were already of decent quality, and with several rounds of hype, she had gained a large fan base. When people heard that her book was about to be published, many rushed in, eager to buy it.Orders started coming in through various channels.Luna's mood improved when she saw the rapidly increasing numbers. Then, she reached out to Emilia. "Did you see the sales of my new book?"Emilia had just come out of a meeting. Glancing at the numbers, she stated in surprise, "That's a lot.""I had a bit of a reputation overseas. Back then, our publishing house handled my books, so you should know," Luna replied confidently.Emilia was well aware of that.Luna continued, "This book has both a great plot and stunning visuals. Of course, plenty of people would love it."After thinking for a while, Emilia said, "Judging

    "You'd better hide the recording. Otherwise, if I gave her the recording, she might even blame me for meddling and ruining her family."But after thinking about it, Serena decided she couldn't do that.She continued, "Good thing I insisted. She's doing a lot better now. I heard she not only has a job but has even started her own company. She even suggested I go work at her company."Evelyn asked, "Did you say yes?"Without hesitation, Serena nodded. "Yep."Evelyn shook her head in disbelief. "She was just being polite. How could you take it seriously?""I don't think she was just being polite. She seemed serious," Serena said, sitting down across Evelyn. "And she even told me about the company benefits!"It's ten thousand dollars a month during the probation period, plus holidays. And if you do a good job, you even get profit-sharing."Now, it was Evelyn's turn to be surprised. "That good?"Serena nodded. She understood what her mother was worried about. "At first, I thought s

    Sometimes, a company with too many benefits would end up breeding people who were greedy beyond reason.However, that didn't matter. Once they were kicked out, the company would still thrive.…"Joseph hasn't even broken up with Stella yet, and he's already hooking up with Alice!""He even forced Stella to break up with him just so he could be with Alice!"Reporters posted the news and photos online.Everyone who saw it started cursing Joseph, calling him a scumbag, and saying Alice was a homewrecker.They cursed Alice, too.Seeing this, Avery jumped in, saying that Alice had once encouraged Joseph to chase after her, and that the two of them were seasoned players when it came to messing with people's feelings.With someone stepping up as a witness, people figured it must be true this time, and the insults got even harsher.Meanwhile, the ones being cursed were calmly sitting in a restaurant, sipping tea.Lucas glanced over and immediately understood why Julian had made a po

    In other words, I could sit in the office, do nothing, and still receive my paycheck. This method of earning was, naturally, wonderful news for me. After completing the drawing, I rested my head on one hand and reviewed the messages and reports from others. The team recruited by the secretary was clearly very capable. They could manage everything flawlessly without my input. Some even took the initiative to propose additional plans and launch new projects to earn more, which I reviewed and encouraged them to pursue. They didn’t need to worry about funding, as my secretary and I were there to support them. Once I had done all this, I leaned back to relax. At that time, both Julian's side and my own company were bringing in significant profits annually. I was not only able to support my mother's retirement comfortably, but I also had plenty of funds to assist others. I quietly contemplated whether there were other companies I could explore beyond these two ventures.There was a kn

    Alice only perked up when she heard him ask, "What do you think?" "I think she'll spread rumors, claiming that while I was dating her, I was secretly flirting with you," Joseph said, gesturing widely. "Isn't that just her usual trick? If it works, she'll definitely keep doing it."Alice fell silent.Joseph went on, "We ended up together later, and then I dumped her." Alice touched her chin thoughtfully. "If that's all there is, I actually already have a plan to handle it." Surprised, Joseph asked, "When did you become so clever?"Alice calmly replied, looking down. "What do you mean by clever? When she dumped you before, my friend took a photo of it. After she sent it to me, I saved it. After all... It's not every day you get to see someone you dislike being humiliated. Of course, I couldn't miss it. Wouldn't you agree?" Alice finally looked up and met Joseph's gaze.Joseph forced a smile. "I'm really thankful for your curiosity. If it weren't for you, I'd be helpless if St

    She believed that by making the first move, she could secure a dominant position. Alice looked at her and then at Joseph. "Is she your ex-girlfriend?"Joseph was reluctant to admit it, but he nodded. "Yes, she is." Alice openly displayed her disdain. "She's so clueless. What were you thinking when you dated her? She even accused me of being with you just because you're wealthy now. Doesn't she realize that we both invested in this company together?"Alice turned to Stella. "As a co-owner of this company, I'm here to oversee its operations. Do I need your approval for that?" Stella was taken aback by Alice's assertiveness, and she quickly looked to Joseph for support. Joseph avoided making eye contact with her.Stella understood that Joseph would no longer be by her side.With her head held high, she said to Alice, "Why didn't you choose another time? Why did you come exactly when I was meeting Joseph? You're trying to disrupt my relationship with him!"Alice replied, "Did yo

    "Consider the consequences carefully before deciding whether to let me make this call." After saying this, Joseph watched Stella closely to gauge her response. Stella pressed her lips together, contemplating. Ultimately, she felt that agreeing with Joseph would make it hard to justify herself regardless of the call's content.So, without much thought, she replied, "You used to trust me without question. No matter what I said, you always had my back. Whenever I faced any troubles, you'd always defend me. What has changed now?" Stella stared at Joseph intently.Joseph recalled the time he confronted Alice about her issues, instigated by Stella, and ended up being reprimanded by her. His expression grew more displeased. "Clearly, I'm not that foolish anymore." Stella shook her head. "I disagree. I think the real reason you're behaving this way is because you've grown closer to Alice.""What's your point?""Did you realize Alice is better than me and now want to make amends wit

    Nowadays, he could make a significant amount of money daily without lifting a finger and enjoyed a more luxurious lifestyle than most. He was torn between doing nothing and traveling everywhere as he used to or continuing to launch new businesses.Hearing the knock on the door, Joseph calmly said, "Come in." His secretary opened the door and promptly informed him, "Someone's here to see you." Puzzled, Joseph asked, "Who?" "She mentioned her name is Stella. She's your ex-girlfriend." At the mention of his ex-girlfriend, Joseph couldn't help but chuckle. Back when his father had been on the verge of cutting ties with him, Stella hadn't hesitated to leave him. Now that he was wealthy again, she had wanted to re-enter his life. What had been her game? Had she thought he had been easygoing enough to be manipulated at her whim?Joseph said, "I understand. You may return to your duties now." "Okay." With that, the secretary departed of her own accord.Joseph paused briefly be

    Joseph didn't need to oversee his employees because they were all deeply focused on their tasks. He felt quite content, believing the common wisdom was true. If you paid your employees well, they would worry about the company's stability even if you were hands-off. In his company, even the least productive employee earned over eight thousand dollars monthly, while the top earners made over ten thousand dollars. They were convinced that if they left his company, they wouldn't find such lucrative opportunities elsewhere. However, Joseph disagreed, knowing that companies like Julian's and Aralyn's were also willing to offer high salaries. He felt a sense of relief, realizing that his employees were unaware of these alternatives. Otherwise, they might leave for better opportunities. With that thought, Joseph relaxed and enjoyed his tea, savoring the wonderful life he led.When Joseph heard his phone ring, he answered it casually. "Hello, Dad. Is something wrong?" Lucas asked, "Do

    "Thank you so much!" The other person replied with an equally easygoing tone. Truthfully, completing this deal meant he could take a break for several years. "Mr. Hughes, I hope you achieve great wealth in the future.""Thank you for your well wishes." Yet, Julian didn't really need much more money. "I will strive to earn more." After all, the more he earned, the more people he could assist, right?…I returned to the office just as Julian ended his call. Seeing me approach, he stood up and joined me. "Who did you meet downstairs just now?""Patrick," I replied honestly. "They want Luna to divorce Shayne and reunite with Rowan." Julian was astonished. "For their generation, you'd think they'd be worried about their daughter-in-law finding someone else after a divorce. They know Luna is married to Shayne, yet they still want her back with Rowan?" Julian couldn't comprehend their thinking. "Yeah," I confirmed. "There must be a reason for their change of heart." Julian w
