"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

"Why are you speaking ill of your own dad?" Albert immediately expressed his displeasure at being exposed.Luther chose not to answer that question and shifted the topic, asking, "Why are you looking for her?"Hearing this, Albert composed himself. He was well aware of his relationship with Luther, having essentially abandoned him after raising him for a few years. If the situation escalated, he might end up with nothing."I heard you two are getting married soon. As your dad, I should meet Ms. Quier's parents. The proper procedures should be followed," Albert said straightforwardly, his hidden agenda already in motion."They're already completed," Luther replied.Albert was even more displeased and retorted, "Well, we haven't met each other yet. How can you say it's completed? Have you forgotten all the etiquette I taught you?"Luther's gaze focused on him, silently questioning, 'Had you ever taught me anything?'Burdened by guilt, Albert did not continue arguing."Are you s

"Do you think I'd joke about something like this?" Luther's expression remained as calm as ever.Seeing this, Albert realized things were not as he had initially thought. "Does it really need to be worth 30 million dollars?""Mmhmm." Isabella played along.Albert absentmindedly took a sip of his coffee, looking around.Luther could easily guess what was going on in Albert's mind.Thirty million dollars happened to be the maximum amount Albert could currently produce. Since he wanted to meet Isabella's parents and gain some benefits from the situation, Luther needed to make him understand that meeting them came with a certain threshold."I'll think about it and get back to you. I'll contact you as soon as I have the money," Albert said, although he already had a decision in mind. "Okay," Luther responded.Albert did not linger, bidding farewell to his assistant before leaving.Luther's gaze deepened. Isabella's attention was solely on Luther, and she did not concern herself
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1476
"What's wrong?" Luther noticed her unusual demeanor.Isabella pursed her lips and finally spoke, "Your dad won't really go get the money, right?"The 30 million dollar wedding gift was purely fictional. If he were actually to go... would that not be embarrassing?"No, he won't." Luther, though having limited interactions with Albert, understood his character. "What he said before leaving was just an excuse. He won't prepare for it, nor will he be bothered by it.""That's a relief." Isabella felt somewhat reassured.Luther nodded.Reality also aligned with Luther's expectations. Albert simply drove away. Considering the recent events, his assistant, Lawrence, cautiously asked, "Mr. Brooks, are you planning to gather the money for Luther?""For what?" Albert's gaze was short-sighted, focusing only on his personal interests. "What I said earlier was just an excuse. Aside from those few families, who can easily come up with 30 million dollars?""But if we treat this as an inves

The two were halfway through their meal when Isabella, contemplating her plan to propose, asked Luther, "Luther.""Hmm?""Am I important to you?""Very important," Luther replied without hesitation.Isabella wanted her proposal to go smoothly. "If someday I have something really important to discuss with you, but you have unavoidable work that day, what would you choose?" "You," Luther answered."What about work?" Isabella was curious, fully aware of the immense significance of the Neal Group for him."Not as important as you."Both he and Joshua considered Isabella an important person in their lives, and they would unhesitatingly choose her over the company."Annie's birthday is coming soon, and I'd like to invite you to join us. I'll let you know once the date is confirmed," Isabella said, deliberately laying the groundwork to ensure her proposal would not be discovered."Sure," Luther readily agreed to her request."I'll come to pick you up then," Isabella added.Luther

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
