Chapter 1140

Author: Little Treasure
By seven in the morning, Moe had already started calling Suzie, but there was no answer. He continued calling again an hour later, yet still no response.

[Moe: Suzie, are you still there? In a few hours, it'll be 24 hours since you've been missing. If you're there, please just reply. If not, I'll report you missing to the police.]

Upon seeing his message, Suzie struggled to describe her feelings. She was a little angry but also found his concern rather endearing.

Around noon, she decided to return his call.

Upon hearing her voice, Moe's previously tense heart instantly eased. He asked with concern, "Why didn't you answer my calls or messages last night?"

Suzie deceived him, saying, "I was busy with something."

Moe believed her and asked, "What were you busy with?"

"It's private, and I'd rather not have you know. Why are you calling me? I have plans for the afternoon," Suzie replied in a lazy tone, her eyes fixed on a reality show playing on TV.

Moe inquired, "Plans with whom?"

    "I understand," Suzie replied. She understood the principle but had different tactics for different people. "His situation is unique. If I do well, he'll feel reassured about me being with someone else and won't worry about me anymore."If that happened, it would be hard for Suzie to be with Moe.Sean found her approach puzzling. "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing," Suzie reassured them, not wanting them to worry. While Suzie would follow their advice with anyone else and live better to make the person who rejected her regret it, Moe was different. He treated her well and was a great person. His rejection was due to undisclosed reasons. On the other hand, Moe continued to call Suzie repeatedly after she hung up, but each call went unanswered. The guilt inside him grew as he thought about how she had hastily married someone else and now lived such a chaotic life, all because he had rejected her. He even wondered if he had made the wrong decision.Frustrated and concerned, M

    "I may not have told you about my family background. I was abandoned by my parents when I was young. They hardly cared for me after that, and now that they know I'm doing relatively well, they keep coming back to find me. I don't want Suzie to be dragged into this mess. I don't want her to face these unpleasant things," Moe began slowly."You rejected her because of this?" Cynthia was surprised.Moe nodded. He did not want to reject her, but his family background was messy. If his parents discovered he was marrying into a wealthy family, it would undoubtedly lead to numerous complications. He did not want Suzie to be burdened by these issues, nor did he want her family to become the subject of gossip. After all, Moe was familiar with the people in this social circle; they would not pass up an opportunity for mockery. Suzie was too good for that, and Moe could not stand the thought of her being ridiculed for marrying someone like him."Perhaps you should talk to Suzie when you have

    "He wants to meet me!" Suzie's energy and enthusiasm returned instantly, beaming with a smile.Yves understood immediately. "Moe?"Suzie nodded. "Yes."Yves was protective of Suzie and said, "You're not allowed to go."Suzie was stunned and asked, "Why?""Think about how he rejected you before," Yves sternly insisted. Regardless of Moe's reasons for rejecting her, Yves knew that Suzie should not be at someone's beck and call. "If he rejected you despite your feelings, it's not right for you to go running when he decides he wants to see you.""He did that because…" Suzie tried to argue. "I don't care about the reasons. He was wrong for hurting and rejecting you. Even if he did it for your own good, he was still selfish for doing so," Yves interrupted.Suzie hesitated, recalling her previous interactions with Moe. Suddenly, she felt that Yves's words made a lot of sense."But I already promised him," Suzie said, her heart still inclined toward Moe."Promises can be broken. Tak

    "Go ahead," Sean agreed.Seeing that he could not stop Suzie, Yves turned and went upstairs.Sean followed him. "What's wrong?"Yves remained quiet. After a moment, he packed Sean's things and tossed them to him, reverting to the Yves, who could not stand him. "She's gone, and you don't need to stay here.""Do you have to be so heartless? I mean, come on… I've contributed something over the past few days. Are you just going to use me and then toss me aside?" Sean said with a thick skin, holding the bag of his belongings as he headed upstairs.Yves did not answer him."Yves, please let me stay a few more days.""No.""Yves, come on, just let me stay. I'll do anything you want, even offer myself." Sean pouted, giving Yves goosebumps all over.Yves stiffened, his indifferent eyes turning icy. His gaze fell on Sean's face, which was still the same as when they were younger. "Offer yourself?""Yes!" Sean had not noticed the change in the atmosphere. "Aren't you the one who said

    "You won't." Yves was confident. He knew Sean's personality well, and Sean would never take his own life. Sean ran up to him, speaking earnestly, "I will. You don't even know how heartbroken I was just now. You wouldn't want me to be a walking corpse from the heartbreak, right…""Shut up." Yves found him very noisy.Sean immediately complied, "Okay."Suzie looked at the two men's interaction and was puzzled. Were these men really in their late 30s? Why did they seem so childish?"Are you really going?" Yves noticed the suitcase Suzie was holding.Suzie nodded. "Yes!""Leave your suitcase here and just take your small bag. If he asks you to marry him after you meet, don't agree immediately. Don't just go along with everything he says," Yves said, not trying to stop her again."Got it," Suzie quickly responded. She had changed into a beautiful outfit, and her makeup was exceptionally stunning. There was no need to guess that she was definitely going on a date."You don't need t

    "I'll treat you to a meal later to make up for it," Moe offered.Suzie deliberately kept her distance, looking at him and saying, "No need. Let's get straight to the point. After our discussion, I have other matters to attend to.""What are you busy with?" Suzie casually replied, "That seems to be my private affair.""If you're in a hurry, you can go ahead. I have quite a bit to discuss with you, and it can't be done in a short while," Moe sensed her aloofness and anger, but he understood. His previous actions had not been ideal.Suzie thought he was dense. Did he not realize he should be making an effort now?Moe noticed Suzie staring at him but not saying anything and became slightly puzzled. "What's wrong?""If I'm busy, I won't be done in a short while either," Suzie retorted.Moe, ever so naive, asked, "Do you need my help?"Suzie retorted, "Do you think I need your help if I'm meeting other guys?"Seeing her acting this way, Moe carefully reconsidered his words befo

    The drive back to Moe's place took over an hour.Returning here, Suzie could not help but feel a mix of complex emotions as she genuinely wanted to have a home with Moe."Please, have a seat." Moe offered her a cup of tea.Suzie casually sat on the couch. She had high expectations for this meeting and did not want to waste any time. Hence, she went straight to the point. "So, what did you want to talk about?""Well, you've always wanted to know why I rejected you," Moe started, summoning his courage. Suzie simply replied, "Mm." Despite her composed exterior, her heart was actually racing."The main reason is because of my family..." Moe proceeded to explain all of his concerns and share his worries with her over the course of the next hour. He did not know how Suzie would react to what he had to say, but he felt it was crucial to be honest with her. After all, he could not stand by and watch her lead an aimless life."These are my concerns. If you still want to be with me,

    "No, they won't," Moe replied coldly.Suzie questioned him, "Why not? Don't you know Arch International Group's influence in the business world?""I do, but Arch International Group belongs to Ms. Yates, and I'm just an employee," Moe admitted.Suzie took this opportunity to tease him mercilessly. "Indeed, you're just an employee. Yet your annual dividends from your holdings surpass what my dad, the owner, makes. Next time I see him, I'll suggest he switch to being an employee instead of running a company."Moe remained quiet. He could sense that Suzie was deliberately poking fun at him. "Suzie...""And you're still feeling inferior?" Suzie asked, her tone stern.Moe pursed his lips but did not reply, still feeling self-conscious.Suzie was too good…"No more sulking in silence. From now on, you have three seconds to respond when I ask you a question." Suzie thought it was time to put Moe in place.Moe hesitated before asking again, "Are you really not concerned?"Suzie provi

    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

    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.

    "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

    "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
