Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1460
Inside the bedroom, Cynthia noticed Isabella's hesitant demeanor and asked, "You can tell me whatever's on your mind.""I heard that you and Dad proposed to each other in the past. Is that true?" Isabella mentioned, having learned about it from Riley and Kendrick.Cynthia nodded, confirming, "It's true.""I also want to propose to Luther!" Isabella smiled. Her beautiful eyes shone with curiosity as she asked, "Do you have any good suggestions or recommendations?"Cynthia was surprised. "Propose?""Mmhmm!" Isabella nodded.Cynthia appeared to be in a dilemma. Isabella was confused, asking, "What's wrong?""Proposing is something Luther should do. You shouldn't worry about it," Cynthia said after considering for a while, obviously sounding much calmer than before.She finally realized why Luther had sent that message before, specifically asking them to prevent Isabella from proposing.Isabella was taken aback. She noticed a subtle change in Cynthia's eyes and wondered what was

"I want to talk to Mommy about girl stuff," Isabella continued to persuade him. She would have just taken Cynthia away if she could, but she knew she was no match for Matthew. "It isn't something I can discuss with Luther.""You can talk to Annie and the others," Matthew suggested. "Annie and the others don't have experience in this area, only Mommy is suitable," Isabella excused, feeling annoyed."Aren't you close to Auntie Riley and Auntie Gaby? They're also suitable." Matthew saw through her intentions and followed Cynthia's request to reject the idea.Isabella complained, "It seems you just don't want me to be alone with Mommy.""I thought I made it clear enough," Matthew replied naturally.Isabella wanted to say something but realized that no matter what she said, her old man seemed to have a comeback.Amidst various emotions, she could only say, "You've been together for so many years. Don't you get tired of each other if you're together every day?""As long as I'm with

"My place will always be your home," Luther boldly and directly confessed to her.Isabella giggled happily. "Then I'll come over tomorrow.""No," Luther refused without hesitation. His words came out too quickly, leaving Isabella momentarily puzzled. She asked, "Are you hiding something?""I've been busy lately, and I won't have time for you if you come over." Luther realized he spoke too abruptly and quickly added calmly, "Once I am done, I'll come and pick you up.""Really?" Isabella believed him.Luther nodded.After a virtual kiss through the screen, Isabella told him to rest early. The call served not only as a routine expression of missing Luther but also to gauge whether he was lying about his emotions earlier today. Now, it seemed Luther was indeed getting better and better.That night, Isabella slept peacefully. The next day, after Cynthia and Matthew went to the airport, she returned to her and Isaiah's residence. After parking her car, she entered the code and o

Isaiah sat on the nearby sofa, contemplating for a while before saying, "There's something I want to discuss with you."Isabella took a seat on the single sofa next to him. "What is it? Do you need my help to pursue a girl, or do you want me to move out to give you two some alone time?" "I just met her yesterday," Isaiah explained briefly.Isabella made a bold guess, "A one-night stand?"Isabella rolled his eyes at her.Isabella argued, "Hey, if you don't tell me the reason, I can only spectate. After all, with your personality, you wouldn't bring someone here after knowing them for just one day.""She wants me to marry her." Isaiah got straight to the point.Isabella was puzzled, but she did not rush to ask. In usual situations, if a girl asked Isaiah to marry her, he would just ignore it, certainly not bring her home. "Do you think Mom and Dad would approve of my whirlwind marriage?" Isaiah asked.Isabella was stunned and blurted out, "You want to marry her?""I'm conside

"Do you think I'm that easily fooled? If you're really planning to marry Sandra, I'll tell Mom and Dad that you've only known each other for a day." Isabella did not buy his excuses at all.Isaiah unlocked his phone and handed it to her, saying, "Go ahead."Isabella was almost driven to madness by him. He probably knew she would not say anything!"You have one minute to think about it. If you haven't called Mom and Dad in a minute, you will help me.""No way." Isabella stood up and left the study. She grabbed her bag and phone, leaving the mansion quickly.Seeing her leave, Sandra glanced at Isaiah, who was descending the stairs."She declined," Isaiah approached and informed her of the result. Their conversation and interaction were emotionless. "I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."Setting down what she was holding, Sandra remained composed and said, "There's no rush, as there are still three months. If it doesn't work out after three months, we'll consider other options

"Just in case you take screenshots of our chat and send them to Mom and Dad," Isaiah stated directly.Isabella knew Isaiah could be infuriating when he wanted to be, but she did not expect him to be so calculative. "Well, unfortunately for you, your precautions won't work. I'll copy the dashcam footage and send it to them.""Thanks for the heads up," Isaiah said.Isabella was even more puzzled."I've deleted it already. Next time, remember to back it up before telling me about this kind of thing," Isaiah informed her."You're so annoying!" Isabella scolded him and hung up in frustration.[Isaiah: If you help me this time, I'll delete all your embarrassing videos.][Isabella: Whatever.]If he dared to reveal her embarrassing videos to Luther, she would tell her parents about him!Thinking this, Isabella promptly booked a flight to Jiverton since there was not much for her to do in Nexuria. Moreover, the project she had previously been responsible for was running smoothly.She

Joshua was not surprised to see Isabella in the office. Clearly, he had learned about it in advance, probably from Roderick. "What brings you here?""Just bored, so I came over to hang out with you guys." Isabella replied as she stood up from the chair and sat on the nearby sofa, "I heard from Roderick that Luther took leave. What's going on with him?""He went for a project inspection," Joshua said calmly, handing her a glass of water. Isabella raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "Isn't he on leave?""Externally, yes. Only he and I know about this. The project is confidential, and we can't afford any leaks," Joshua lied with a straight face. "Not even Roderick?" "Mmhmm.""What's the project about?" Isabella asked. "You hold positions in all three of your family's companies; I can't let you know," Joshua said. His tone was gentle, treating Isabella like his own daughter. "Boo," Isabella booed at him, not pressing further. After all, these are business matters that should not be

Luther visibly relaxed, and his reaction did not go unnoticed by Isabella, who grew more suspicious. "Luther.""Hmm?" Luther was always ready to answer her questions."Are you hiding something from me? Don't lie to me; be honest." Isabella was always straightforward, not liking things to be left unspoken.Luther paused in the midst of eating, evidently surprised by her question. Isabella kept her eyes on him."There is something, but I can't tell you right now," Luther, aware of her personality, confessed with some reservations. "Why?" Isabella pressed for an explanation.Luther said, "I can't say."Isabella stared at him, her mind beginning to wander. Something that needed to be kept from her… could it be a proposal?"Is it a proposal?" Isabella tentatively asked.Luther was shocked but did not show it. "No. Do you want me to propose to you?""No, not yet. So, what are you keeping from me?" Isabella, thinking about her own proposal plans, decisively shifted the topic to

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
