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

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Joshua asked.Isabella nodded.Without hesitation, he said, "Yes.""Aren't you heartless! You're not married yet, even at this age. Aren't you afraid that there won't be anyone taking care of you in your old age if you anger me?" Isabella scoffed playfully. "If it's meant to be, I can't escape my fate," Joshua quipped, maintaining a relaxed and casual demeanor in her presence.Isabella chuckled and continued with her meal. With age, she understood some of the things involving her elders, such as Cynthia's choices and Joshua's past actions. Nonetheless, she refrained from participating in adult affairs and offering judgment.Joshua had been kind to her, and in return, she treated him as her parents, providing him with the small happiness of having a daughter. "Tell me some inside information about Luther, and I promise to make your later years delightful. I'll even make sure others envy you for having a well-behaved, cute, and lovable daughter,

"Don't let Luther find out about this," Joshua said as he fiddled with his phone.Winston agreed, "Noted, Mr. Neal."In order to help Isabella, Joshua opted for a roundabout approach to tell her about Luther's information. He told Winston, "Afterward, let Isabella use your phone. Don't say anything else. It's just for five minutes.""Understood, Mr. Neal." Then, he waited outside Isabella's room, just as Joshua had instructed.Meanwhile, Isabella was engrossed in reading the information Joshua had provided her via the computer. It contained Luther's schedule for the next month, as well as his likes, habits, and lifestyle for the past few years. Isabella could not help but appreciate how well-informed Joshua was, and she planned to thank him in person when she left her room. However, before she could open the door to express her gratitude, she saw Winston standing there."Mr. Neal asked me to give you my phone," Winston said as he handed her his mobile. Isabella was surprised a

"Don't bother. She's so carefree. Why should you ask her?" Isabella playfully teased. Joshua was taken aback.Was it really right for her to say such things about herself? Isabella did not linger on the call with him and hung up. Then, she returned Winston's phone, thanked him, and went to find Joshua.When Isabella entered the room, Joshua was fixated on his phone. "For something so trivial, why did you have Uncle Winston help you? Why not just tell me directly?" "You should ask Winston's distant relative. I told her everything," Joshua replied, and he was quite an actor."Isn't it the same if you tell me in person? You told me, anyway." Isabella could not quite grasp his reasoning. Joshua glanced at her before he replied, "Think about it yourself." "On the phone, you could say you were talking to Uncle Winston's distant relative. When you tell me in person, you're speaking to Isabella. This way, when Luther asks, you can confidently and calmly tell him that you never t

"If, when you decide to give up, he realizes he wants to be with you, would you give him another chance?" Joshua suddenly asked this question, an unnoticeable trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "It depends," Isabella replied very rationally."Depends on what?""If when I pursue him, he simply hasn't realized it yet, or for some reason, I find it acceptable for his initial refusal, and as long as I haven't fallen for someone else, then I might consider it. But if he..." Isabella explained clearly. "What?" Joshua pressed for more."I can't really describe it. It just depends on the situation."Joshua sighed. "You're a lot like your mom. Open and straightforward in handling relationships, determined to stick to your path.""Not entirely. I might appear livelier than her, but in reality, she's someone who's easily moved. She might seem aloof on the surface, but her heart is completely different.""Is that so?" Joshua did not fully agree with this.From his later memories, Cynt

"I don't need a shortcut. I'm just concerned that when I apply normally, certain individuals in your company might reject me out of personal interest," Isabella said, confident in her abilities and skills. "Luther is not that kind of person," Joshua instinctively defended."We'll see in a bit. With my work experience and education, applying for positions like executive assistant, secretary, or director at Neal Group doesn't seem unreasonable, does it?" Isabella retorted.Joshua replied simply, "Mmhmm.""In other words, if I couldn't even pass the initial resume screening at your company, it would indicate that someone did it deliberately," Isabella hinted. After some brief contemplation, Joshua nodded in agreement.Isabella smiled as she browsed the Neal Group's official website, handing her resume to Joshua. "I submitted my resume last week, and so far, I haven't received any response. It says on their website that if there's no reply within three business days, they recommend

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

"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
