Chapter 156

Author: Walking on Clouds
I looked at Julian.

From what I knew of him, his work ethic was exceptional. No matter the situation, he always approached it with calmness and restraint.

I had naturally assumed he lived a relaxed and carefree life, so hearing that he also needed to relieve stress caught me a bit off guard.

When Julian didn't get an answer from me, he seemed a little nervous. "Don't you want to? It's okay, then," he said, not wanting to force me.

I shook my head. "No, I do."

"I'll wait for you, then." Julian smiled.

"Alright," I replied.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

The sound of light, quick footsteps and Willow's cheerful voice rang out simultaneously.

I stepped off the balcony. "I'm here."

Willow dashed toward me and hugged me tightly. "Dinner's ready! Let's go eat!"

Perhaps because it had been so long since she'd spent time with her grandparents, Willow wasn't entirely comfortable being around them for extended periods even though she loved them.

At that moment, she seemed noticeably uneasy.

    Eric gave her the day off, so she didn't need to train.After dinner, she sprawled on the couch. With her head resting on my lap, she watched cartoons.Not wanting to miss out on Willow's growth, Julian put aside his work and sat next to me to watch TV with her.Willow wasn't happy about Julian disrupting her one-on-one time with me. She sat up and looked at him. "Daddy, you have to work to finish. You don't need to stay here with me, or you'll work late again."Julian already prepared his answer. "It's fine. I can handle it at the company tomorrow—it makes no difference.""I know you're worried I'll feel lonely by myself, but I have Mommy with me, Daddy. I won't be lonely," Willow said firmly, trying to justify wanting alone time with me."Nope. Both parents need to be present for the children so they grow into healthy and well-rounded people."Willow puffed out her cheeks in frustration and glared at Julian.In the end, she lay back down on the couch reluctantly, clearly unh

    He seemed to have the urge to talk, and all I needed to do was listen and encourage him to continue. "Hmm?"My head was spinning. I raised my hand to rub my temple. I'd never had alcohol before, so I was a little shocked. Was my tolerance this low?Julian watched me. "Ever since I climbed into this position, I've had to focus all my attention on work every single day—planning the company's future, managing its development, and figuring out how to handle crises."Plus, there are other companies eyeing us like hawks. They're practically waiting for mine to collapse so they can take over."And then there was the matter with Willow. He had so much to think about every day.It wasn't until he brought me home to help care for Willow that he started feeling a little relief.I tilted my head as I looked at him. "That's a lot of pressure."Julian just smiled before pouring me another glass.I waved my hand. "I can't drink anymore."Julian sighed. "Alright. We'll stop. But it's only whe

    He drove back to the home he had shared with Aralyn for six years and pushed open the door.The house was pitch black.Shayne instinctively called out, "Honey, I'm home. Why didn't you come to greet me? Are you feeling unwell?"As he took a couple of steps, he suddenly remembered that they were divorced.Shayne slumped onto the couch despondently, glancing around the living room. He told himself he shouldn't feel sad.They had been together for so many years, but the person he had always loved was Luna. Now that his dream had come true, he should have been happy. But why couldn't he feel a shred of joy?Shayne placed his hand over his chest. He didn't understand.Just then, his phone buzzed. He answered it absentmindedly—the call was from Luna.In the past, when he came home late and Aralyn called to check on him, he would never say much, but he always secretly looked forward to hearing from her. He would even smile unconsciously. But now, all he felt was irritation. "What?"

    Willow pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe I didn't explain clearly. My goal isn't to suddenly become a normal person who can chat with everyone. I just want to have one person I can talk to."After hearing that, I realized I had misunderstood. "I understand now."With that, I helped her get dressed.Willow took my hand and we went downstairs.Breakfast had been prepared by the chef. The food was rich and nutritious.As Willow ate, she glanced around the room. When it was time to drink milk, she jumped off her seat and approached Derrick, wanting to talk to him.Unfortunately, the words were stuck in her throat. She still couldn't say anything.Willow thought that maybe she simply didn't want to talk to Derrick, so she went over to someone else.The others looked at Willow, confused. What was she doing? After trying everyone, Willow returned to her seat and sighed. "Why can't I talk to anyone?"She couldn't understand.When she spoke to Julian and Aralyn, she felt n

    The receptionist saw Alice and smiled, stopping her. "Hello, may I ask if you have an appointment?"This receptionist had witnessed how the guards had thrown her out before, so she knew Julian didn't welcome her. Hence, she couldn't let Alice go upstairs.Alice yawned. "I'm here for Aralyn."The receptionist was stunned. Alice walked straight to the elevator and pressed the close-door button.By the time the receptionist regained her composure, the elevator had already gone up. Her face turned pale. What should she do?…Alice pushed the door open and walked into the office.Julian saw her.Before he could speak, Alice said, "I'm here for Aralyn."I had just opened my laptop and was about to start working on a design when I heard Alice's words.I turned around in surprise.Alice sat right next to me. "Can we add each other on WhatsApp?"Didn't she treat me as her rival just a few days ago?Though I was confused, I still took out my phone and handed it to Alice. Alice add

    Alice was fast asleep. I didn't want to affect her rest with any loud movements, so I quietly adjusted her body to lay flat on the couch.I then took my thermos and left the cubicle with Julian. My voice remained soft as I asked, "Where did it come from?""I cooked it at home this morning." Julian's expression remained unchanging as he stood beside me. He sounded a little guilty as he continued, "You wouldn't have had so much to drink last night if it wasn't for the sake of accompanying me. So, you wouldn't have a headache today either.""Yeah…" I opened the thermos and took a sip. The soup was still hot.After much hesitation, I decided to speak. "If you'd like to chat and relax with me next time, let's not drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are good enough.""Alright," agreed Julian.I sat down and gently blew on my scalding hot soup. Julian, on the other hand, stood behind me. He helped massage my temples. His actions were gentle.Although my head ached, his actions help

    Mark noticed my disbelief. He smiled and said, "This isn't considered a lot. Once they are done creating a full promotional strategy for you, and the company starts pouring resources into it, your followers could increase by tens of thousands in a single day."Mark was clearly accustomed to these scenarios. He added, "In less than a month, you could probably become a top influencer with over a million followers. When that happens, there will be people who envy you; they will put your life under a magnifying glass."If you don't want them finding faults with you, then it's best to start being mindful of your actions and words."He then patted my shoulder and said with a tone full of sympathy, "So, enjoy having a smaller follower count while you can. This might be one of your few remaining moments of freedom."With that, he walked out of the office.I sat quietly, reflecting on what Mark had said.So, being liked by a lot of people isn't all good after all.…Once Julian had fi

    While everyone was passionately discussing the news, a message appeared. "I'd like to know, too."The moment Mark saw those words, he had a bad premonition. He looked at the sender's name. It was Julian.He then looked at the name of the group chat. It was "Hughes Group."He was over. He was completely over.Didn't he send it to their gossip group chat? How did it end up in the company's group chat?He clutched his phone with trembling hands. Would this cost him his job?"Is it that obvious?" asked Julian.Mark heard Julian's voice behind him and turned around as his heart pounded.Julian's expression was as calm as usual. "Hmm?"Mark nodded as he replied, "Yeah."He then took a deep breath and continued, "Those who have worked here long enough can see it."Julian seemed thoughtful as he replied, "I thought I hid it well."Mark lowered his head."Everyone in the group is still waiting for your answer," said Julian as he gripped the handle of the office door. His cold ton

    Hearing this, Julian also looked at me. Designing new styles was actually relatively easy, and the company would give each designer a commission based on sales.It was a way to make big money without much effort.But Mark was worried that I wouldn't be willing to share the money I was about to earn with other people.Without hesitation, I said, "Then just hire them."Mark was stunned. "But you'll have to share the money with others.""I'll share, then. It's a good thing that we can make money together," I uttered, not minding it at all.Mark stared at me.Confused, I asked, "What? Is there a problem?"No," Mark answered, shaking his head."Even if I don't design anything, I'll still get a share of the earnings. After all, this counts as merchandise based on my work, right?"I looked at Mark for confirmation.He nodded. "That's right."I smiled. "In that case, I don't need to do all the work myself."Only then did Mark reply, "Alright, I'll go find people right away.""Oka

    Since there were already existing character models, the only things I needed to draw were different outfits and expressions, which made it easy for me.In less than two hours, I finished everything, and I even created a hidden edition. Just thinking about Willow's face put me in a noticeably better mood.Just then, Mark pushed the office door open. He walked up to Julian and said, "Mr. Hughes, this is the marketing plan I prepared for the collectibles."Julian opened it and read through it carefully."If we want the public to embrace these figurines, the best way is to have domestic celebrities or influencers wear them as accessories. People have a herd mentality. When they see influencers loving these small figurines, they'll want to buy them too."As for other countries, in places where nobility still exists, we can have members of the royal family and aristocracy wear them. In the past, buying something worn by nobles might have cost thousands or even tens of thousands."But n

    Aralyn went to work at Julian's house.At the time, Donald's company had some issues, and he figured Aralyn was only an ordinary worker and that Julian didn't care about her.Hence, he focused on handling the company's matters, thinking that once everything was settled, he could come after Aralyn later. He thought it wouldn't be too late.He poured all his energy into work, and within just a few months, he finally resolved all the company's crises.After finally freeing up some time, he rushed to the city where Aralyn was, ready to unleash all the hatred he had built up over the years.But then he discovered Aralyn was in a relationship with Julian.Donald couldn't understand where Aralyn got such a strong charm.In terms of physical appearance, Aralyn wasn't that gorgeous compared to glamorous celebrities.In terms of intelligence, she definitely wasn't the smartest woman in the world.Yet, somehow, she kept attracting high-quality men.Donald took a deep breath, trying to s

    Donald took the evidence handed over by the errand runner, sneering with contempt.A few years ago, he had let his guard down and was tricked by Aralyn, which led to him suffering a major loss.But he had learned his lesson now, so the same trick was useless against him.Donald tossed the evidence onto the car seat beside him.It seemed that after all these years, Aralyn still hadn't improved.He had only used a simple diversion, and Aralyn had fallen for it. He couldn't believe that he had actually been worried that Aralyn had gotten more formidable; that she would be difficult to deal with.Donald gripped the steering wheel with both hands.Back then, Aralyn had teamed up with Maisy to send him to prison. Now that he was out, and his life was getting better, Aralyn and Maisy still expected to live peacefully.That was nothing but a fool's dream.Donald parked his car in the hotel garage and then dialed a friend. "Are you guys free to help me? If you're not, it doesn't matter

    Hearing Shayne's response, Donald asked, "What do you want to drink? It's on me."Shayne quickly waved his hand. "No need. I have to go back to work, so I'll be leaving first."Donald watched Shayne's departing figure, the corners of his lips curling upward.He just knew that his plan was bound to succeed.…In his office, Shayne thought about his conversation with Donald seriously.Donald said he would make Aralyn get back together with him.But after analyzing the situation, Shayne concluded that Donald's chances of success were slim.Donald had already been to prison, and most importantly, Julian was by Aralyn's side.The fact that Julian had built his small company step by step into an empire that others envied was enough proof that Julian was intelligent.Shayne tapped his fingers on the desk.With Julian around, Donald's chances of success were nearly zero.Under these circumstances, if he got himself involved, he wouldn't be able to explain himself when everything wa

    Donald didn't understand. Didn't everyone say that Shayne was stupid? No matter how people lied to Shayne, he would believe them.But even after speaking to Shayne for so long, Shayne was still asking for evidence.This was completely different from the rumors.Shayne hid the disdain in his eyes. If he hadn't accidentally found out about what happened to Aralyn when she was a child, he might have actually believed Donald."Records don't disappear no matter how many years have passed. If you don't know how to find them, you can hand me your phone, and I'll check it for you," Shayne said calmly.Seeing Shayne already reaching out his hand, Donald knew that if he didn't come up with an excuse, he really wouldn't be able to explain himself. "Do records really matter?"Shayne replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, they do. I respect you as an elder, but even elders need to back up their words with evidence. You can't just think you can fool me blindly. Do you really think that's possib

    After I agreed, they immediately called in some employees who had been resting at home and started production at the factory.Once the products were manufactured, the factory shipped them out.There was almost no need for my involvement in the later stages.I glanced at the sales and profits, a smile naturally appearing on my face. If I was right, this batch should bring me a significant profit.To be precise, as long as piracy was still there, this market would remain mine.After finishing everything, I continued drawing.…Shayne arrived at the restaurant and looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him.Donald was a self-made wealthy man.He had enough boldness and carried the calm confidence unique to successful people.He looked completely different from ordinary people."Are you the one who wanted to see me?" Shayne asked in confusion.Donald nodded. "Yes. Have a seat."Shayne didn't understand why Donald had asked to meet him. But since Donald was Aralyn's biologica

    Julian and I returned to the office together. I sat on the couch, recalling everything that had happened between my mother and that scumbag.The more I thought about it, the calmer I felt.Back then, that bastard of a father had bullied my mom and me without restraint. But I was young at the time, so I couldn't keep him in prison for too long.But I had grown up. If he dared to mess with me again, I would not show him any mercy.Resolution gradually filled my eyes.I took out a stack of documents from the drawer. Inside were all the shady things he had done over the years since getting out of prison.Taking a deep breath, I contacted a courier. When they arrived, I handed them the documents and had them deliver them to a specific location.After confirming the courier had left, I went upstairs and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. I then took out a small pair of binoculars and looked down.The courier didn't leave immediately. Instead, they circled around to a side

    "If I remember correctly, you should be in your 50s, almost 60, right? You might have three children. One is me, one is the mistress' daughter, and the other is the child your current wife is carrying. Maybe supporting your children isn't a problem for you right now."But what about ten years from now? Or 20 years from now? By then, your child will only be about 20 years old, while you'll be in your 70s, close to 80."At that time, when he needs your help the most, will you still be able to provide him with anything?Or do you think the mistress's daughter will help him?"Donald fell into silence.The mistress and her daughter didn't even acknowledge him, let alone his child.Donald wasn't that optimistic.I didn't force him to think along my lines. "Among your children, I'm the most accomplished and capable one as of now, so I believe you meeting me is crucial."Donald remained silent for a long time. This time, he had already thought his plan through. He even guessed that I wo
