The third secretary confessed, "I have a stomachache.""Roderick," Luther suddenly said, and Roderick stepped forward instinctively.Luther glanced at the second and third secretaries and ordered, "Take them to the hospital for a checkup. I'll cover the expenses."Both of the secretaries were shocked.The second one quickly said, "There's no need for a checkup. I'll take a pill, and in a few hours, I'll be fine.""I'll do the same. I have some medicine at home. I'll just take that.""It's better to have a checkup. You've been working wholeheartedly for the company for several years. I can't allow you to come to work while you're unwell," Luther said calmly.Their hearts raced as they stammered, "W-We're really fine."Luther ignored them and said, "Roderick." Roderick went over, thinking Luther genuinely wanted to show concern. He spoke calmly, "Ladies, please."Both of them remained still.Roderick was puzzled. Just as he was about to say something again, the secretary wit

"What if he finds out about your arranged marriage and still refuses to confess?" Joshua could not help but worry about her as she had never faced any major setbacks in her life. Her academics went smoothly, her family life was harmonious, and her career was on the right track. Just like he had been.If Isabella had suffered an emotional blow, how could he comfort her wounded heart?Isabella sipped her soup and said playfully, "Then, I'll sleep with him."Joshua warned, "You're a girl, you know?""Just kidding!" Isabella chuckled, her lips curving into a smile. She had thought things through for the future. "If it comes to that, I'll lock him at home and force him to talk. If he doesn't speak, he won't be allowed to leave."Isabella knew it would not be ideal, but there were some things one had to do, even if you knew they were not right. Nonetheless, she would not go to such lengths if Luther truly did not like her."Can you keep him from escaping?" Joshua was curious."Phy

"Considering how those three families operate, they won't directly confirm anything until it's set in stone," Roderick replied, adding, "As a result, it's difficult to determine whether it's true or not.""Start by questioning Isabella's friends," Luther said from the back seat of the car, his expression unreadable. Roderick boldly asked, "Why don't you just ask her directly?""Just do as you are told," Luther said curtly before ending the call.If he could ask, he definitely would. However, as someone who 'doesn't like' her, he would not bother to inquire about her arranged marriage or show any additional concern.Over the next week, Isabella received messages from friends, all telling her that someone wanted to know about her arranged marriage with the Yarbrough family. Nonetheless, they all replied to that person as instructed by Isabella.Isabella thanked them for being helpful. Nick, being a straightforward person, directly called her."I just can't understand why you wo

Luther's gaze remained fixed on the distance as he replied, "I've figured it out."Joshua instinctively thought Luther meant that he had decided to be with Isabella. "So, if you've figured it out, why haven't you told her yet? Or are you planning to confess on the day she's supposed to leave?""Marrying Chris is a good choice. I had someone investigate him; he's humble, has a good character, and is compatible in many ways," Luther said, his tone suppressing the complex emotions he felt.Joshua was stunned, not expecting his answer. From what Joshua knew, Luther appeared composed and cool on the surface, but deep down, he had a strong sense of possessiveness and long-term commitment. Such a person would not easily let someone they liked go."Haven't you understood this circle yet?" Joshua wanted him to think a bit more about this. "What you know is just what others want you to know. How can you be sure that your investigation is accurate? Most people don't reveal their true nature
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1376
This time, Luther did not deny it. He took Joshua's phone and deleted the message he had sent. After a moment of silence, he admitted very seriously, "Yes, I like her... a lot. But not all affections lead to a relationship, just like your affection for Auntie Cynthia."Luther suppressed his emotions, looking at Joshua. Joshua was taken aback as he had not expected Luther to bring up that matter."She deserves the very best this world has to offer," Luther continued. His voice was soft, so fragile that it seemed like it could shatter with the slightest pressure. "She should have a perfect life."His existence would only become a stain on her life, turning her happy life into one filled with anxiety and depression.Joshua sensed there was more to it. "Is it because of your family background?""It's not just because of my family background," Luther replied, not revealing the ultimate reason, but he affirmed, "She would be hurt if she were with me, and I know you wouldn't want her
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1377
An eerie silence settled over the scene. Luther wracked his brain but could not come up with a reasonable excuse."Is it so difficult to admit that you like me?" Isabella pressed, deliberately misconstruing his intentions, "Or is liking me something so embarrassing that it makes you feel ashamed?"Luther blurted out, "Yes."Isabella did not fall into his trap. "Tell me, what's so embarrassing about it?""Everything is embarrassing," Luther confessed, unable to find an excuse. He chose to follow her lead and lied, keeping his cold expression as an indicator that he would not admit his feelings.Isabella countered, "I haven't committed any crimes or done anything wrong. My values are decent, and I've never posted inappropriate things online. I think I'm pretty great, and I can't find anything embarrassing about me."Luther did not want to continue the conversation. He stood up and said to Joshua, "Uncle Joshua, I'm leaving.""Stop. You're not leaving until we finish this discussio

"I understand." Isabella stepped aside and said, "You can go now."Upon hearing this, Luther did not feel great, but considering his unstable emotions, he left without a second glance.After watching him drive away, Isabella and Joshua sat side by side. She gave him a sidelong look and asked, "Don't you think there's something wrong with Luther's head?"Joshua agreed, "Yes.""If I remember correctly, ever since you took over their family affairs because of me, Luther's dad hasn't hit him again, right?" Joshua thought for a moment. "Yes, more or less.""So, how did he end up like this?" Isabella was deep in thought. She did not understand why Albert would drag Luther outside to humiliate him publicly. She only learned the reason after asking Joshua. Albert had done that to embarrass Luther, ensuring that he would never again defy his words. However, any lingering emotional wounds should have healed after all these years. After all, Joshua has been taking care of Luther since

"That's good to hear. I was worried someone at the company might be secretly trying to sabotage him," Isabella said, letting out a sigh of relief."You can rest assured about that. Mr. Brooks isn't one to be taken advantage of. Anyone trying to sabotage him should be prepared for the consequences. Don't be deceived by his usual reserved and handsome appearance. In reality, he's quite shrewd," Roderick blurted out. "True, considering he's the President of the Neal Group. What about his hobbies or interests?" Isabella agreed, nodding. "He doesn't have many hobbies. He plays golf and tennis, but mainly for networking purposes. Even outside working hours, he focuses on work and maybe some exercise," Roderick replied."That's not too bad. A life well lived," Isabella praised."Well, it's not all that great," Roderick muttered quietly."What do you mean?" Isabella asked.Roderick acted naturally, giving nothing away. "It's nothing. I just think Mr. Brooks has a tough job managing su

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
