"Would the enemy notify you before launching an attack?" Matthew asked casually.Once again, silence fell on the other end of the line. It persisted for quite a while before they spoke, "Let's do it again next month. We'll consider this round in your favor.""What do you mean, 'consider'? You lost," Matthew quipped."Yeah, we lost," the other side admitted grudgingly. Then, he added, "We'll try again next month."Matthew was not buying it. He could not believe they would lose this easily next time. "They won't be available next month; they have other commitments. Besides, give it a couple of years for your skills to improve, and then we can have another go," Matthew replied, ending the conversation.The head of the Cybersecurity Department was left speechless.Matthew did not linger on the call. After hanging up, he glanced at the time and advised, "Get some rest; we have a five-hour journey to our outdoor training site, and we'll be departing soon.""Okay," Cynthia replied an

"Understood!" they replied in unison. They understood well that Matthew had to balance between treating them well and maintaining his seriousness and ruthlessness as their instructor. David smiled, patted their shoulders, and encouraged them to train properly before leaving.Alex and the others had joy on their faces, and their appreciation for Matthew continued to rise."Now we can relax a bit. We just need to eat a bit conservatively, and we should be fine for seven days," Riley said, looking at their ample food supplies. Cynthia, however, appeared deep in thought as she glanced at the items in her backpack.Gaby noticed her unease. "What's wrong?""I just have a feeling this might be a trap," Cynthia hesitated. Riley asked, "A trap for what?""Before we rested, Captain said that apart from what he just gave us, no one was allowed to carry anything else. But this..." Cynthia said, a sense of unease creeping over her.According to the rules, what David gave them could

"Nothing," Alex quickly responded."Keep one day's worth of rations and hand over the rest," Matthew ordered them coldly.Linus attempted to argue, "But..."Mitchell nudged him, and Linus immediately fell silent. Soon, everyone obediently surrendered their rations, on the brink of breaking down. Once the desired effect was achieved, they departed. David watched the pitiful young recruits and clicked his tongue. "I thought they all fell for it, but one didn't. They're stronger than the previous batch.""There should be two." Matthew's gaze lingered on Cynthia, who had already left.David was perplexed. "What do you mean?"Matthew did not explain further and instructed him, "Nothing. Have your people keep an eye on them quietly, just in case something goes wrong.""It's already arranged." David remained dependable.Matthew glanced at the departing group again before returning to the resting tent.David asked him as he walked, "What if none of them falls for it? What's your pla

"You should consider it a pity. Being tricked by me is still better than being tricked by an outsider," Matthew, who had an extremely close relationship with David, replied.David hesitated, wanting to retort. However, he found that Matthew's words were actually quite on point. The recruits Matthew had brought in were significantly different from those brought in by others, just as cunning and always setting traps during missions or competitions. This led to his team always coming out on top. Moreover, as Matthew had pointed out, the frequent experience of being tricked during training had toughened their mental fortitude far beyond that of the other recruits. If it were not for Matthew's limited energy, their superiors would want him to train everyone personally."Regretting it?" Matthew, noticing David's thoughtful expression, casually askedFailing to realize this was a trap, David nodded in agreement. "A little." "In that case, join them for wilderness training. If you ca

"Which team?" Matthew asked."Who else could it be?" Patrick sat down beside him. "Mr. Tanz's team.""After training ends, I'll talk to her. You set the time," Matthew agreed, his deep voice carrying a hint of nonchalance. "Let's schedule it for the day after your training. You have no idea how shameless Mr. Tanz is. Even though those people were poached from our team, he still flaunts them in front of us," Patrick said eagerly."Once they go over to him, they become his people." Matthew shrugged, unfazed. "Being able to poach from your side is also a skill."Patrick sighed. Matthew never sugar-coated his words. "Ahem." Patrick cleared his throat and asked tentatively, "What if he wants to take someone from you this time?""Have you ever seen anyone successfully take someone from me?" Matthew retorted.Patrick fell silent again. Well, he had not. "Let's make this competition more interesting. Let them pay a little price." Matthew's eyes twinkled, his voice carrying a touch

"Whether we can find someone or not has nothing to do with fear. If it's meant to be, we'll be together; if it's not, we shouldn't force it," Matthew's gaze rested on a particular person on the screen as he spoke slowly and thoughtfully.David listened and suddenly began to reflect on life. He used to have a girlfriend too, but their relationship ended. "Have your people ready at 2 a.m.," Matthew said, back to business. "Are you even human? You're not letting them sleep through the night." David felt sorry for Cynthia and her friends.Matthew did not explain. He used to think it would suffice if the training were done properly. However, his team suddenly approached him, saying they wanted to experience real wilderness training, and asked him not to go easy on them. Since they had already requested it, as their captain, he could not afford to slack off. Over the course of a week, Cynthia and the others maintained a high level of vigilance from day to night, and they managed to g

Cynthia had not spoken when Matthew added, "You can request equipment, assistants, teammates, or anything.""Give me a well-configured computer, and I'll be good," Cynthia replied confidently. She might not be so sure in other matters, but she had no doubts when it came to this.Matthew glanced at Jimmy, who was walking ahead, and asked tentatively, "Do you want Jimmy to assist you?"Cynthia guessed, "Is there a bet involved?" She noticed that this time, Matthew seemed different from the previous challenge. While he had been concerned before, his demeanor was now more serious.Matthew replied honestly, "Yes, Chief negotiated with them directly. Last time, they used someone they had recruited from us to win. This time, Chief wants to recover from the embarrassment."Cynthia then asked, "Could I see the footage from the last challenge?"Matthew regretfully replied, "I'm afraid not. Nobody kept a copy."Cynthia simply said, "If it's allowed, I can retrieve it." "Sure," Matthew

Matthew's melodious voice reassured, "They'll agree."Patrick questioned, "Why?""The person they want is me," Matthew replied as he locked eyes with Patrick.Cynthia and Patrick were taken aback. Patrick instantly rejected the idea, saying, "No way! Let's find another."As the cherished asset of their team, they could not risk losing him in a bet. It was a risk they could not afford."Trust me, and trust her too," Matthew said confidently, knowing their characters well after spending this time with them. He understood they were not the kind to make empty promises. Their mature, thoughtful minds set them apart from their peers.Since Cynthia said they could win this, then they could. Patrick hesitated, torn between concerns. Cynthia chimed in, "I'll win."Patrick looked at her and finally gave in, instructing Matthew, "Alright, you go over there and negotiate for the biggest gain.""Sure thing," Matthew agreed.After dinner, he made a phone call. On the other end, the pe

Isabella glared at Nick. He actually betrayed her! Caught off guard by Luther's honesty, Nick quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that. Luther forced me to do it. If I didn't agree to his request, he would've spilled my past to my current girlfriend.""Current girlfriend?" Isabella looked puzzled.Nick confessed honestly, "My new girlfriend."Isabella was at a loss for words. Nick was very handsome. His looks could rival top celebrities. Naturally, with his face and charisma, he had no shortage of admirers. That led to a habit of frequently changing girlfriends."I made my rules clear to her. No shady behavior allowed," Nick added quickly, sensing what Isabella was thinking.Hearing this, Isabella did not say much.A moment later, Luther, seeing that their conversation had wrapped up, took Isabella's hand and left. On the way back, he deliberately brought up the topic of proposals."What kind of proposal do you like?" Luther asked."Anything works," Isabella replied
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1501
There was a time when Isabella considered letting Luther propose to her. However, he had not shown any signs that he would or asked for her ring size. There was no need to overthink it; that fool probably had not even thought about it. Nonetheless, Isabella did not blame Luther. After all, she was well aware that everyone expressed love differently. Yet, that was also precisely why she wanted to propose to him, to make him understand just how much she cared."What's wrong?" Annie asked, concerned."I'm just worried," Isabella replied. The ring sizes had been a constant worry for her."Because of what you just mentioned?"Isabella nodded. "Yeah.""Why do you want to propose to him?" Annie looked toward a dark corner. "In most relationships, the boyfriend proposes to the girlfriend, right?""I want him to feel loved," Isabella answered simply.Luther was different from most people; he always suppressed his negative emotions and limited his freedom. He no longer wanted to restr

"No," Luther declined; he still wanted to be the one proposing to her."Okay," Joshua agreed readily.Luther nodded, letting his mind wander. In the following days, Isabella kept checking on the progress, each time being informed that there was no opportunity to measure Luther's finger.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.Cynthia and Matthew had a conversation with Isaiah.Due to prior preparation, Isaiah handled Cynthia and Matthew's questions smoothly. Although they knew Isaiah had not been entirely truthful, based on his attitude toward Sandra, they agreed to the marriage without excessive probing into his relationship with her.As for Isabella, she waited for a few days but had not received any news. Frustrated, she decided to go to Jiverton herself to find Luther.When Joshua heard about her plan, he asked her to give him a bit more time. He assured her he would have the sizes by next Friday at the latest."Really?" Isabella was worried about running out of time.
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1499
"Okay." Isaiah already had a plan in mind.After discussing the matter, the two did not say much more. In the following two days, Cynthia and Matthew stayed home while Isabella prepared the details and processes for the proposal.However, after going through the general plan, Isabella suddenly realized a problem. She did not know Luther's ring size. How could she prepare a ring for the proposal without knowing the size?Realizing this issue, she immediately thought of flying to Jiverton to find out but hesitated due to Luther's caution. If she returned so soon after just coming back, he would surely be suspicious. After much contemplation, she came up with a solution—Joshua.When Isabella called, Joshua happened to be having a meal with Luther."I'm not busy, what's up?""I need your help with something," Isabella said, trusting Joshua's abilities, "but Luther can't know about it."Joshua instinctively glanced at Luther.Luther was confused. He glanced at Joshua's phone and

"Quit the act," Matthew said to Isabella, "It's too bad."Isabella stayed quiet. Matthew bluntly stated, "Isaiah currently oversees the company, and the annual revenue has been consistently increasing under his management. He even took a few subsidiaries public.""And?" Isabella inquired."He has a talent for this," Matthew hinted, leaving Isabella puzzled as she struggled to keep up with Matthew's pace."He's barely in his twenties, so there's no rush to get married," Matthew explained. He saw through everything, understanding Isaiah well, adding, "If there were truly such a concern, he could easily establish a company under Sandra's name in the next few years, operate it until it goes public."With Isaiah's abilities and connections, starting a company and taking it public would be a simple task. After the IPO and proper management, Sandra's value would naturally rise. This would effortlessly 'shut their mouths'. Isabella wanted to say something, realizing her dad's words

"That depends on the secret he's keeping," Matthew responded immediately, taking the opportunity to tease Isaiah, "If it's something against our moral values, it'd be hard not to form an opinion, even if we try not to.""He's not that kind of person," Isabella defended Isaiah.Matthew did not respond but just sat there. Their father-son dynamic involved banter and teasing, but when it came down to it, they genuinely cared about each other."He's just worried that you might object to Sandra's background," Isabella continued to spin her tale convincingly.Cynthia and Matthew were confused, both staring at Isabella.Isabella felt a bit uneasy. Something seemed off with her parents' expressions. "What's wrong?""Are you sure Isaiah is worried about this?" Cynthia asked.Why was their beloved daughter so bad at lying? Not catching on, Isabella nodded, "Absolutely.""Setting aside the fact that we've always taught you not to treat people differently based on their family background
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1496
"Ah, I see." Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and purposely asked, "Is it possible that Isaiah got to know Sandra through Uncle Yves and Uncle Sean?""It's unlikely," Cynthia denied. Even though they had not arranged any blind dates or rushed Isaiah into marriage, given his personality, he would not seek an introduction from anyone."Whenever you have time, ask Isaiah to bring his girlfriend home," Cynthia said, truly wishing for her children to find happiness. Isabella agreed, "Sure.""Isabella," Cynthia suddenly spoke up.Putting away her plan book, Isabella responded, "Hmm?""Do you think I look stern?" Cynthia sounded gentler than usual, lacking the usual nonchalance.Having been accustomed to being herself, Cynthia found it a bit awkward to take on the role of an elder suddenly. If she left a bad impression on Sandra during their first meeting, it could easily jeopardize Isaiah's relationship."Not at all," Isabella spoke sincerely, looking at Cynthia affectionately. "Y

Isaiah had seen through their plans. He knew that his parents' friends enjoyed watching him banter with Matthew. Every time something was like this, they would eagerly make things difficult for him.Early the next morning, Mitchell and the others began implementing the plan. Initially, Matthew did not suspect anything and thought they genuinely had urgent matters to attend to and brought Cynthia back home first.Considering Luther's upcoming proposal, they decided not to travel the world but instead explored nearby cities. After Mitchell and the others called Matthew aside, Isabella approached Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised to learn about Isabella and Isaiah's plan."Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble?" Cynthia asked."Not at all," Isabella responded very directly, her mind focused on planning her and Luther's engagement. "Isaiah said he can handle this matter, so let's discuss the proposal first. I've thought about several options, but none seem good enough.""Okay," Cynth

Isaiah was surprised."Take her to shoot wedding photos first," Isabella suggested seriously. After giving it some thought, Isaiah said, "I'll ask her during dinner.""Why bother asking?" Isabella thought Isaiah's emotional intelligence was lacking, and Sandra's expectations were too low. "Just pick a few reputable studios and let her choose one she likes."During their conversation, Isabella noticed that Sandra was slightly anticipating a wedding, although she had refused for some unknown reason. If she was not truly opposed to weddings, there should not be an issue with pre-wedding photos."If you give it directly to her, she'll probably say she doesn't need it," Isabella coined. She could see through people and was quite clever.Isaiah clearly did not consider this possibility."Take a look at these studios. My friends suggested them," Isabella had already made the selections and recommended them to him. "Weren't you against my decision before?" Isaiah, not understanding h
