"Yeah. Shayne is angry. He said he won't give me a single cent for living expenses in the future."Charlotte didn't take it seriously. "It's fine. He might not care about an unborn child, but I'm still his mother. He won't ignore me. When he sends me money, I'll transfer it to you."Luna felt a bit uneasy. If things were really as optimistic as Charlotte said, that would be great. "But he said he won't give you money as well.""That's not possible." Charlotte remained unconcerned."Even if I forced him to do something he didn't want to, I'm still his mother. There's no way he'd cut me off over something so trivial.""He said it himself just now. Why don't you call him and ask?" Luna said, trying to test the waters."Sure. But he's still angry right now. I think even if I ask him, he'll give me the same answer he gave you. But I'll comfort him anyway. He's my son, after all."Charlotte hung up and dialed Shayne's number, but her hands were trembling.Shayne had never thrown a ta

"How are you feeling now? She doesn't love you anymore. Are you still stuck on her?"Joseph spoke slowly and deliberately "Of course not. I don't have any feelings for her anymore. I didn't love her that much to begin with, so of course, I pulled out in time. I have to say—that's some nasty method you used."Alice didn't deny it. He did the same to her, anyway.Joseph couldn't be bothered to argue about it anymore. "It's early in the morning. What do you need?""We're going to check out our company's location. Then we'll check the rent in the city center and compare it with the suburbs. Wherever we can afford, that's where we'll rent," Alice said, not wanting any unnecessary contact with Joseph.Joseph thought Alice made a lot of sense. "Alright.""Do you have a car?" Alice felt that for something this important, they had to use a family-owned vehicle.She didn't trust rental cars, as she was worried their project discussions might be overheard."I probably do. I'll ask my dad

Joseph and Alice were just business partners for now. If they bought the property together and both names were on it, it would be hard to divide if they ever had a falling out.It was better to settle everything clearly from the start.The two asked the agent if this arrangement was possible, and the agent said it was.After they confirmed which half each of them would take, the agent led them through the property transfer process.Joseph looked at the brand-new property deed in his hands and still found it hard to believe. "I actually own my own place now.""Mm-hmm!" Alice was also excited, though she didn't show it. "Let's go meet Aralyn now."Joseph asked, "What for?""She's amazing!" Alice praised, unconsciously lifting her chin."Even though she hasn't started her own company, she has her own insights about business matters. Talking to her will give us a different perspective! And most importantly, I want to share this great news with Aralyn."Alice suddenly thought of

Shayne's love for Aralyn would fade gradually.Charlotte felt that if things reached that point, Shayne wouldn't hold a grudge against her over the vasectomy anymore.Instead, he would realize that everything she did was for his own good.The more Charlotte thought about it, the more convinced she became that her priority now was to break Julian and Aralyn up. She took a taxi to the entrance of Hughes Group, but when she saw the tightly shut gates, she froze.Seeing her standing there in a daze, someone nearby approached her. "Hughes Group is closed on weekends. If you need to see one of their employees, you can come back on Monday."Charlotte nodded numbly. "Okay, thank you."Even if they weren't at the company, that didn't matter. She could go to Julian's house and meet him there.After all, she had to settle this today!Otherwise, as long as Shayne kept blaming her, she wouldn't be able to feel at ease.…The car was moving down the road.Joseph sat in the passenger seat,

"Maybe all you'll be able to do is hold onto your idea and regret it while watching someone else use it to make a fortune."Upon hearing this, Joseph said seriously, "I understand. For the projects I personally handle, I'll take 90% and give 10% to the company. It'll be the same for the other employees."Julian gave him a meaningful look. But since they weren't close, he didn't offer much advice.He then looked at Alice and asked, "After founding the company, he'll be on the front lines handling projects. What about you?"Alice responded without hesitation, "I'll go to work, of course. Hughes Group is an amazing place to work. There's no way I'd give that up so easily."Julian chuckled. "I'm talking about your company. He's unwilling to pass projects to other people. But your company still needs someone to oversee the bigger picture; you're the only one who should do that."Alice asked in disbelief, "Me? Can I handle it?""You have to. If you run into problems you can't solve, y
