"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

As the company's chairman, it was easy for Joshua to facilitate someone's employment. Desmond did not have much to say. He assumed that Isabella was a close friend of Joshua's and simply agreed on the spot.With Joshua by her side, Isabella went to complete her onboarding paperwork. The whole process made Desmond extremely nervous, and his mind went blank when he saw Isabella write her name, Isabella Quier, in the space provided.As Isabella filled in details about her educational background and past work experience, Desmond felt like his world was crashing down. This was the person Luther specifically emphasized not to hire!What was going on?! What was the connection between Isabella, Luther, and Joshua?Joshua noticed Desmond's expression and asked, "Is there any problem?" "N-None," Desmond replied. He could not possibly admit there was an issue. Despite feeling anxious, he forced a smile, saying, "I just find it a bit of a waste to have someone with such high qualifica

After all, Isabella would be working directly with them. "Since you don't care, let's meet your immediate manager. He should be done with meeting and returning to his office," Joshua suggested, noting her wandering eyes, and he knew what was on her mind.Isabella beamed with joy and said, "Great!"A short while later, Joshua brought Isabella to the office of Luther's personal assistant.Isabella raised an eyebrow, confused. She looked at the person in the office and then back at Joshua. She thought she was supposed to meet her immediate manager.Joshua shrugged it off and hinted that this was, indeed, the guy.Isabella sighed internally. She had been hasty in her assumptions!"This is the President's new personal secretary. From now on, you two handle all matters concerning the CEO's personal life," Joshua introduced, explaining to the young assistant, Roderick.Roderick appeared calm on the surface. "Alright, Mr. Neal."In truth, his heart was racing as he recognized this gi

"Who says you can't eat out just because your family owns a restaurant?" Isabella countered nonchalantly.Luther was rendered speechless by her reply.Feeling the strange atmosphere between the two, Roderick could not help but feel puzzled. As far as he was aware, Luther had feelings for Isabella. So, why was Luther treating her that way?"I'm officially starting work next Monday; I've already completed the onboarding process. Is there anything specific I need to know?" Isabella proactively spoke to Luther, unaffected by his cold demeanor."You have a one-week probationary period. If you don't pass, you're out."It was obvious that Luther was purposely making it hard for Isabella. "Understood." Isabella nodded. She did not linger in the office, immediately turning to look for Joshua.Luther had expected Isabella to talk to him, to inquire why he had not replied to her letters or met her all these years. Yet, while he anxiously awaited these questions, she did not ask anythi

Whenever a new employee joins the company, there will usually be a welcome dinner. Hence, Isabella intended to use this event as her first step in pursuing Luther.While Isabella remained emotionally unaffected and went on her day as usual, Luther, on the other hand, was quite restless. He sat in his chair, lost in thought, replaying the scene of Isabella's sudden appearance in his office. Over the years, he had secretly visited her many times, but they never had never met."Mr. Brooks?" Roderick tentatively asked.Luther was forced to snap back to reality, but he was still somewhat distracted. "What is it?""This document is needed urgently." Roderick pointed to the document that had been sitting in front of him for two hours, still unsigned. He lowered his voice as he spoke, "Would you like to sign it now?"Luther glanced briefly at the document, ensured there were no issues, and promptly signed it. Once done, he handed it over to Roderick.As Roderick was about to leave, Lut

"Do you hate me?" Isabella asked him.Luther did not respond to her question, opting for silence as he continued eating his dinner. That version of him reminded Isabella of their first meeting during that winter break, when he had been equally stubborn, keeping to himself without saying a word.However, Isabella was not one to feel awkward and decided to shift the conversation. "Dad, is he always this silent when you're with him?""Pretty much," Joshua admitted. Luther was not one for idle chit-chat. He would always communicate work-related matters efficiently, conveying what needed to be said concisely. In fact, over the years, Luther rarely engaged in small talk.Isabella glanced at Luther but refrained from saying more. Instead, she savored her meal, stuffing piece after piece of meat into her mouth. After a few bites, she praised the staff who had prepared the beef stew, commenting on their excellent culinary skills. The beef stew prepared at home was relatively healthier
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1356
Luther's eyes darkened, avoiding Isabella's gaze.Attend..."Dad, have more." Isabella continued eating her beef stew, serving Joshua some vegetables. She acted like the previous conversation was just a brief exchange between friends.After dinner, Luther chatted with Joshua for a while before leaving. As soon as he departed, Joshua went to Isabella's room. Isabella was engrossed in a game with her best friends and Nick when he entered. Right when the game reached a crucial point, Isabella told Joshua, "Ten minutes."Joshua nodded, taking a seat on the nearby couch.Isabella's friends on the other end of the game asked, "What do you mean by ten minutes?""That we're finishing the game in ten minutes. I have something to do after," Isabella replied. "What could you possibly have to do? It's already late at night," they asked. However, their curiosity got the best of them, and they continued, "Aren't you in Jiverton to pursue someone? How's the progress?""Zero progress," Isab

Luther was lying on his bed in a loose-fitting robe, with only the bedside lamp casting a soft glow in the dim room. He held a picture frame containing a photo of a girl in a school uniform, her smile radiating warmth. If Isabella were there, she would immediately recognize the girl in the photo as herself. Luther could not bring himself to put the picture down and had been staring at it for quite some time. He had always lived a solitary life, but since Isabella's unexpected appearance that afternoon, his thoughts and emotions were spiraling out of control.Around two in the morning, Luther turned off the bedside lamp, but the photo remained in his hand. He tossed and turned in bed until six in the morning. Unable to sleep, he decided to get up and change into some comfortable casual clothing before going for an early morning run.Over the next few days, Isabella did not reach out to him. She spent her time either accompanying Joshua around various places or catching up on what

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
