[For Uncle Hunter, finding someone of equal status for Jojo after his failed pursuit of you is the best way to help him move on,] Isaiah explained to Isabella.Isabella was at a loss for words.How could things end up this way? Isabella became worried and replied, [Jojo doesn't like arranged marriages.]None of their friends intended to enter into arranged marriages; they all wanted to be with someone they loved. Isabella asked, [Is there any way we can help Jojo?] Jojo had been great to her, helping her in many ways throughout their lives. Hence, she hoped to return the favor when he faced difficulties.[No need for that. Jojo has already figured out a solution. Going abroad is part of the conditions he negotiated with Uncle Hunter.] Isaiah responded to her, telling her about Jojo's plan.As long as Jojo achieved his set goals once abroad, he would have control over his marriage in the future.Isabella simply replied, [Okay.]Then, she pondered how to tell Luther about

However, Roderick misunderstood Luther, interpreting it as Luther would talk to him about this later. Once inside Luther's office, Isabella pulled Luther to sit down. Her eyes sparkled as she began, "I want to discuss something with you.""Go ahead," Luther urged. His palms were slightly sweaty, showing signs of nervousness."Jojo just called me. He's going abroad, and he might not be back for the next two years. He asked if we would like to go back to see him off," Isabella candidly shared with Luther, unsure of his reaction.Luther was shocked, clearly not expecting their conversation to be about this. Seeing his silence, Isabella asked again, "Do you want to go?""Do you want to?" Luther countered."Well, I do want to. Jojo has always taken great care of me since we were kids. He's been involved in every significant decision in my life so far. It wouldn't be right if I didn't see him off. However, if you mind, I'll pick a gift and have Isaiah deliver it for me." Since she

Luther simply nodded. He knew it was not a good idea and could easily reduce Isabella's affection for him, but some uncontrollable emotions surfaced."How about letting me sleep with you tonight? That way, you'll be mine, and I won't let you go, no matter what happens," Isabella said mischievously.Luther was at a loss for words. Isabella pressed further, "What do you think?""As long as we do it, you won't leave me?" Luther asked.Isabella nodde. "Mmhmm."After considering for a moment, Luther agreed, "Alright."Isabella was stunned by his answer as if she had not expected him to agree."Really?" Isabella teased.Luther answered with certainty, "Yes.""You were so insistent on saving it for the wedding night. Why the sudden change?" Isabella wondered, recalling his previous persistence."As long as you don't leave, I will do anything," Luther replied.He did consider saving it for the wedding night. However, he changed his mind since Isabella was insistent and had promise

However, Isabella had everything. She lacked neither money, fame, or opportunities. Hence, she did not care about similar backgrounds anymore."In reality, true compatibility is not about family background but about shared values. Values are shaped by a person's experiences, and in that aspect, you and Isabella don't differ much. There's no need to worry," Joshua explained gently. That also explained why people from vastly different family backgrounds often found it challenging to come together. Different experiences and environments would often lead to varying values, worldviews, and outlooks on life."I'm afraid she'll regret being with me in the future," Luther admitted.Joshua patiently asked, "Why do you think that way?""Everyone around her is outstanding, with much better family backgrounds than mine." Having been reassured by Isabella before, Luther found these thoughts resurfacing as she was returning to Nexuria. "I'm not the best choice.""You're my best choice. Settin

As Luther grew older, the light that Isabella brought became even brighter and more beautiful. Despite being deeply captivated by it, he could not shake the feeling that he was not worthy of such beauty. Everyone wanted to embrace the light, and Luther was no exception. Hence, when Isabella approached him, his initial reaction was to evade her, fearing that he might dim her radiance. Later on, he struggled internally, worrying about the distant future. Joshua understood Luther's psychological state, but only time could help him overcome his feelings of inadequacy."And he's a bit lovesick," Joshua added once more.Reflecting on it, Isabella acknowledged that Luther did have a tendency to get lovesick. Since their relationship had improved, he seemed to agree to anything she said without a second thought."Is there any way to make him feel better?" Isabella hoped Luther would gain confidence, considering he was already quite exceptional.Joshua had not thought much about it, s

"Aren't you afraid your parents will hear this?" Joshua teased."Not at all! At most, my dad will just make fun of me for being ungrateful." Isabella was quite familiar with her parents. "He has been trying every means to keep me away from Mom, so it's normal for me to turn my back against him.""Okay," Joshua agreed.Isabella was surprised. "Are you really joining us?""It concerns the future of my heir," Joshua said. He liked Luther. "I should go with him to chat with your parents."Isabella giggled happily.Due to Joshua's decision, they canceled and rebooked their flight tickets.Early the next morning, Joshua called Yoel. Although he had retired and was traveling around, he occasionally helped Joshua with some tasks."Mr. Neal," Yoel was about to visit another city with his wife."Please help me with something once you have the time. Revise the will for me." Joshua made sure no one could hear this conversation, standing on the balcony of his study and speaking in a hushed

Isaiah did not deny it. His main reason for picking up Isabella was, indeed, to spy on Luther. In the morning, their parents suddenly told him that Luther was coming to propose and discuss his marriage to Isabella, which somehow soured his mood. If Luther's situation were the same as before, he would not agree to their engagement. At the very least, a stable situation was a minimum requirement for their engagement. It might sound overbearing, but Isaiah did not want any mishaps in his sister's future."I told you about his situation before, didn't I?" Isabella chatted naturally."Through the screen, I couldn't be sure if you were just dismissing me or genuinely informing me. I need you to tell me in person," Isaiah said as he glanced at her, looking handsome in his suit."He's fine now, and nothing extreme has happened since we got together," Isabella truthfully informed him.Isaiah's gaze remained on her. "You're telling the truth?""Mmhmm." Isabella nodded.Isaiah stayed sile

Isabella leaned in and asked, "But what?""Nothing." Isaiah thought for a moment and decided not to say anything.Isabella looked puzzled.He wanted to mention that their parents might suggest her settling down with Luther in Nexuria, but they probably would not, considering Luther's role as the Neal Group's president."How are you going to get a girlfriend if you never finish your sentence?" Isabella huffed.Isaiah calmly retorted, "Are you also talking about Uncle Joshua?"Isabella sighed, deciding not to argue with Isaiah. The car continued to drive forward. An hour later, Isaiah and Isabella arrived at the home where Cynthia and Matthew now lived.As soon as they got out of the car, Isabella hugged Cynthia, saying, "Mommy!"Cynthia affectionately stroked her head. Matthew stood next to Cynthia, interrupting their reunion. He teased, "People with boyfriends shouldn't casually hug other people's wives.""Mr. Quier, can you be just a little less possessive? Mommy is a pe

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
