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

Luther was stunned, clearly not expecting her to bring this up. Isabella urged him, "Why aren't you saying anything?""It won't be long before we are married. Why not wait until our wedding night?" Although he had agreed earlier, her bringing it up made him hope it would be on his wedding night. After all, beautiful things should happen on beautiful nights.Isabella gave it a thought and responded, "I just want to check if you're able to do it."Luther was confused.Did they not prove he was not last time?"Last time..." Luther attempted to remind her."Last time was just to see if you can have an erection. Even though you can have one, it doesn't mean you're capable of doing the deed. Do you get it?" Isabella teased.Luther stayed silent."So, will you agree to this little request?" Isabella asked him tentatively.Luther was not good at discussing such matters and uttered, "No." "Why?" Isabella was puzzled. She had made it so obvious, so why was he not giving in?

Joshua was caught off guard, and his mind went blank for a moment. His initial reaction was that Luther could not possibly have revealed his secret proposal plans to Isabella. If he had, he would not be dropping her off here."Did he tell you this?" Joshua quickly calmed himself down and asked her in a composed manner."Mmhmm. He said he took leave to prepare for a proposal." Isabella kept the details vague, wary of potential slip-ups.Joshua chuckled.Isabella was confused. "Why are you laughing?" "If you really want Luther to propose to you, I can discreetly convey the message. I can also let him hand over his work to me," Joshua assured her.Isabella got to the point. "But didn't you say it's important?""It is, but no matter how important, it's not more significant than the happiness you desire. The company is stable now, and taking a short break won't cause much loss," Joshua replied. "Is he really busy with work?" Isabella was surprised.Joshua looked at her and teased

"Mmhmm," Joshua admitted."What kind of marriage did you guys have..." Isabella could not comprehend their relationship and curiously inquired, "You didn't even go through any of the standard procedures. How did Grandma Katherine and Grandpa Jonathan agree?"Joshua remained quiet. Sensing his expression, Isabella knew the answer. Before she could ask, Joshua said, "When your mom and I got married, Grandma Katherine was no longer with us.""As for Grandpa Jonathan…" Joshua paused here, afraid of jeopardizing his position in Isabella's heart; he continued, "He doesn't know."Isabella gave him a big thumbs up.Impressive. Getting married without the family knowing! "I won't comment on your affairs as you're my elder," Isabella said. She was not directly involved and did not know exactly what had happened back then. "But I do hope Luther can free up a bit for me."Not necessarily for him to propose to her, but at least when she decides to propose, he would have the time.Tak

"No problem, I can wait." Isabella did not mind at all.That evening, Luther called Isabella when he got home. Initially, they chatted casually, but then Isabella brought up Isaiah.Luther's advice was straightforward: help and support Isaiah. Isabella did not expect Luther to advise her to help Isaiah without learning more details. She exclaimed, "But they just know each other for a day!" "Whether a day or half a day, it's his choice, and he's not wrong. Isaiah is emotionally and intellectually intelligent," Luther explained. Isabella was doubtful and asked, "He has emotional intelligence?"Luther affirmed, "Yes."Isabella could not help but wonder if Luther misunderstood something about Isaiah. Isaiah, who, apart from excelling in studies and researching his interests, never engaged in small talk with girls.How could someone like that be described as having emotional intelligence?"Trust him," Luther added. Back then, Luther also thought Isaiah was just an outstanding

Isaiah received a message from Cynthia. Considering that he was not ready to admit to a romantic relationship, Cynthia posed the question differently.[Cynthia: Isaiah, now that Isabella and Luther are getting married, do you have a special someone in mind?]Even the clever Isaiah was momentarily stunned. He could not fathom why Cynthia, who had never rushed them into marriage, was suddenly asking such a question.Just then, Isabella sent him a voice message."I told Mom and Dad about your love affair. Handle it as you see fit." Accompanying her message were screenshots of her conversation with Cynthia.After reviewing the messages, Isaiah understood everything and simply replied, [Thanks.]Isabella did not say more and just advised him to consider the risks of a whirlwind marriage. For Isaiah, impulsiveness was not part of his vocabulary. Hence, Isabella did not worry much, trusting that he had a sharp mind and she did not need to intervene.After that, Isabella planned to vi

"I don't get involved in these matters. You should discuss it with Luther," Isabella stated firmly, recalling Luther's instructions not to interfere. "He doesn't respond to my calls or messages, He still blames me for leaving him alone here, but if I hadn't, would he have achieved what he has now?" Albert complained, sighing.Isabella was puzzled. Albert continued, "If I had taken him with me, he might've ended up as an ordinary office worker. How could he have gained the favor of you and Mr. Neal?""Mr. Brooks." Isabella's tone turned cold, highly dissatisfied with his remarks. "What's the matter?" Albert noticed something was off."Luther would have achieved what he has now regardless of where he is. Blaming you for abandoning him when you started a new family is only natural," Isabella defended Luther. She was extremely protective of him and would not let anyone say anything bad about him."Isn't that..." In his opinion, Luther's success was due to him leaving Luther in Ji

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

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
