In the fifth round, Nick did not hold back. Among the people playing these games, he was by far the most skilled. Jojo and Isaiah struggled not because they could not win but because they were just not interested. If they wanted to win, they would be able to outwit their opponents easily. No surprise, Nick won the fifth round.His gaze locked onto Jojo, and he spontaneously challenged him, "Confess your feelings to Isabella with the most passionate words.""Are you looking for trouble?" Isabella responded, a little irritated. After all, she still believed that Jojo had a crush on someone else, and Nick purposely made it difficult for Jojo.Nick did not let up. He was worried that if Jojo did not confess now, he would never have the chance anymore. "Can't handle it, huh? If you don't want to do it, think about how the people who lost in the previous rounds would feel. Besides, when I lost games as a kid, I did whatever was asked of me."Isabella sighed.Wanting to use this game

Those words felt like a spell swirling in Jojo's mind. Even though he knew it was just a game, his heart found a moment of satisfaction.Isabella went straight to Isaiah after. "Isaiah, help me win the next game and dare Nick as I requested just now."Isaiah, accustomed to indulging her in these matters, agreed readily. "Alright."Nick protested, "What? You're cheating!"Isabella countered, "How am I cheating? In the game, when choosing a member for truth or dare, others can provide advice."Nick wanted to argue but realized her point was valid. He had no choice but to whisper to Isaiah, "I'm doing this for Isabella's happiness. You can't help her trick me, right?"Isaiah replied firmly, "She's my sister."Nick tried another approach. "Can't you go easy on me? Or is it that you'd rather see her with Luther than Jojo?" Of course not. Isaiah did not want that.Isaiah did not think Luther, who had disappeared for years without providing any response, could make Isabella happy. I

Isabella had it all figured out. If Nick really dared to have her and Jojo be a couple for an entire evening, she would call Nick's parents later. After all, in his parents' eyes, she was the perfect, obedient girl, and they would trust her more than Nick himself."I won't ask you guys to do any dares," Nick reassured them. He shifted his gaze to Jojo and asked, "Jojo, answer this: when you confessed to Isabella earlier, were those your most genuine feelings?"Jojo frowned.Isabella could not help but chime in, "That's a silly question, of course not.""I didn't ask you. I'm asking Jojo," Nick said, fixing his gaze on Jojo and hoping he would be brave.Isabella did not think there was anything worth asking about. Even though she did question the genuineness of Jojo's confessions as it was so sincere and moving, she had probed the matter earlier, and Nick's inquiry seemed unnecessary."Is that so?" Nick inquired once more.Jojo lied with a straight face, "It's not.""This has to

Isabella was stunned by Jojo's sudden confession, unable to find the words to reply to him. "Jojo..."Isabella had never considered that Jojo would have a crush on her. After all, their bond had always resembled that of close siblings."Would you consider giving us a chance to date?" Jojo continued to advocate for his cause, his eyes filled with earnest hope. "If, after trying, you still don't have feelings for me, I won't interfere with your future decisions.""I'm sorry," Isabella responded bluntly, not wanting to beat around the bushes. Jojo was not expecting her answer, and his heart stung ever so slightly. He forced a smile and spoke casually, "Is it because of Luther?""Mmhmm." Isabella nodded.Jojo asked, genuinely wanting to understand, "I've known you longer than he has and spent more time with you. Why did you choose him over me?" They said the one who came later in a relationship would be at a disadvantage. Yet, Jojo had met Isabella much earlier."Maybe it's a m

If it were anyone else confessing to Isabella, she would usually provide a straightforward but gentle rejection, expressing gratitude for their affection. After that, she would not feel much of a psychological burden. However, Jojo had been exceptionally kind to her since they were young, and rejecting him would weigh on her as well."Calling you a silly girl isn't too far off," Jojo teased and lightly pinched her nose. His tone remained affectionate as he said, "You took the joke seriously."With this statement, Isabella finally understood."Okay, I won't tease you anymore. One last question." Jojo managed to suppress his emotions, maintaining their gentle and sensitive demeanor, typical of an older brother.Isabella also steadied her emotions, saying, "Go ahead.""Can our relationship go back to how it used to be?" Jojo nervously asked.Isabella nodded, sharing her perspective as she said, "Of course, but I hope you can set aside your feelings for me. There are so many talent

The car continued moving ahead. Watching the vehicles go to and fro from them, Isabella suddenly had an idea, wanting to make amends to Jojo somehow."Jojo, do you have something you want or a wish you'd like to fulfill?" Jojo had something in mind. He really wanted to say, 'I want you. I want you to be my girlfriend. I want to be with you.'Nonetheless, Jojo knew that the current atmosphere was unsuitable for that. If he carried on like that, Isabella, being the pure-hearted person she was, would likely feel uneasy for days."Actually, there is one thing," Jojo came up with an excuse."What is it?""My dad wants either me or Ash to be heir to the Lloyd Group. I want to start my own business and not inherit the family business," Jojo said earnestly. "I'll help you!" Isabella offered."Really?" Jojo asked."Yes. I'll have this sorted out for you in a month at most," Isabella promised."Deal," Jojo agreed.Half an hour later, Jojo dropped Isabella off at her house. As she g

Isabella really made her way back home. Jojo saw her enter her house and returned to his car, still feeling the remnants of Isabella's hug around his waist. He leaned back in his seat, staring at the moonroof and across the starry night. Jojo seemed to have realized that being a 'brother-like figure' was not a bad thing after all. It meant he was like family, and he could openly support her.Ding!It was Nick, bombarding Jojo's phone with messages. After reading them, Jojo simply replied, [I told her.]Nick immediately called Jojo, sounding excited as he asked, "How did it go?""What do you think?" "Did she say yes?"Jojo remained quiet.Nick quickly caught on. "No, if she said yes, you wouldn't be so moody. Did she explain why she doesn't like you?"Jojo put the phone on the loudspeaker and tossed it to the side, showing little interest in discussing this with Nick. However, he had to admit that Nick had played some part in his decision. Without Nick's prodding, he might

Isaiah did not press the issue any further. He, as an outsider, would not understand how she felt, so he respected Isabella's choice. However, there was one more matter to address, Luther."Why are you looking at me like that?" Isabella was puzzled by his gaze."If, after a month, you and Luther haven't made any progress, come back. Don't stay there," Isaiah said, displaying his displeasure with those who disappeared and did not respond to messages. "Do you think you can win over the girl you like in a month? Pursuing someone is a long-term endeavor. You have to show them your true feelings before they can feel secure with you.""Are you blaming Jojo for not pursuing you?" Isaiah intentionally misinterpreted her meaning.Isabella gave him an exasperated look, showing her annoyance. "You should have recorded what you said just now and sent it to Mom and Dad so they can see how you're treating me." "Do you want me to show Luther the video of you from when you were little, sayin

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
