"Besides, this job is easy."We walked out of the company together. There happened to be a newly opened restaurant nearby, and I heard that the chef was highly skilled.Julian decided to give it a try, so I went with him.As soon as we sat down and placed our orders, a middle-aged man sat down across from me. The moment I saw his face, I looked away in disgust.Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to stay calm before asking, "Didn't we agree to meet tomorrow? What are you doing here?"Donald rested his arm on the couch. "I want to ruin your image in Julian's eyes," he thought.He tossed a folder onto the table. "Do you know what this is?"I only glanced at it and immediately recognized it as the file I had asked a courier to deliver earlier that morning. I responded casually, "What about it?"Donald immediately sat up and said irritably, "I know you hate me, but Aralyn, you've already sent me to prison once! No matter how much resentment there is between us, it should be settl

Donald turned his head and looked through the car window at Aralyn and Julian, who were chatting inside. He couldn't disguise the contempt in his heart. He hoped that they would be able to laugh that happily later.…Suddenly, a large number of posts appeared online. Generally, the content questioned if people knew about Aralyn's dark past.As soon as a "dark past" was mentioned, many people gathered, asking what had happened. The posters then started fabricating rumors recklessly, claiming that Aralyn had bullied classmates in school, disrespected teachers, and so on.Alice was earnestly working in front of her computer when she noticed the post after receiving a heads-up from her friend.She pursed her lips. If Aralyn was really like what the posts claimed, then there would have been people exposing these things long ago after Shayne had become rich. What was the point of waiting until this moment? These people were really bad at making things up.Alice didn't take it seriously

"But you're trying to pin all the mistakes you made in the past onto Aralyn in front of all of us? Do you think that's possible? Everyone in school knows you'll bully those you dislike because you have money and someone to protect you."Everyone who got bullied would tell the teachers, but the teachers never cared, so all they could do was endure it." Someone else added, "Since we're bringing up the past, let's take a good look at some of the ridiculous things you did! Yasmin, why don't you tell us who repeatedly stole the awards that Aralyn earned through her own hard work? "Otherwise, with your terrible grades and the fact that no one wanted to be friends with you at school, where exactly did all your awards come from?"As more and more things were exposed, Yasmin's face darkened. She couldn't admit to the things she had done in the past. Instead, she tried to defend herself."My grades got worse later on because Aralyn hurt me and made me lose confidence in studying.""If th

At this point, even if Donald tried to go after Aralyn, she would be able to ensure she wouldn't suffer a loss without anyone's help.Donald carefully considered what he should do.As he did so, his phone rang. He took his phone and glanced at it. It was Yasmin. His brows furrowed instinctively. He had once loved Yasmin, his daughter. Back then, he believed his relationship with her mother was true love. Because of that, he extended that love to Yasmin, investing a great deal of emotion in her.If he hadn't gone to prison… If Yasmin and her mother hadn't run away with his money and looked at him coldly after he was released, he might have still loved Yasmin now. Donald made no effort to hide his sarcasm. "Is something the matter?""You old bastard. Are you useless?" Yasmin snapped at him impolitely."I'm being cursed to hell and back online, yet you're not even going to stand up for me?"Hearing this, Donald actually felt strangely calm. "Are you insulting me?"It was Yasmin a

Julian placed the flowers in the front passenger seat. He then fastened his seatbelt and turned his head to ask, "Where to next?"Without even thinking, Willow said, "Today is such a big day for you two! Why don't we call the whole family out and celebrate together?"She was still young and loved lively gatherings.Julian didn't want to disappoint her, so he turned to look at me.I nodded. "No problem."Julian immediately booked a hotel. He then made phone calls to notify everyone. Once everything was arranged, we set off for the hotel.…The people who gathered to eat with us were people we were familiar with. There was no need for everyone to fake politeness. Everyone sat together in twos and threes, chatting about their daily life and sharing stories.Everyone was smiling, and the entire private room buzzed with lively conversation.As the dishes were gradually served, it was clear that Julian had carefully selected them. He had chosen the restaurant's signature dishes, and
