A flicker of movement was visible in Cynthia's eyes.

Nothing to hide?

Yoel read the skepticism in her gaze, struggling to keep a smile on his face. "You don't believe me?"

"Since there is nothing between you, why did you mention on the phone that day that he'd suffered a romantic setback? You also asked me to reduce his workload and suggested a salary increase," Cynthia questioned her own judgment for the first time.

Most importantly, when she asked if it was his fault, Yoel remained silent.

"Because..." Yoel's gaze involuntarily shifted toward his boss.

Announcing Moe's affections for Ms. Yates now would be like driving a knife into the boss's heart, would it not?

Furthermore, Moe had declared it to be a secret crush. If he outed Moe's feelings in front of Ms. Yates now, he'd surely earn Moe's resentment later.

"Why are you looking at him?" Cynthia followed Yoel's gaze with a slight frown.

"I promised Moe I'd keep this matter confidential. I can't tell you." Yoel's q

    Recalling past events filled Joshua with remorse. In a somewhat hoarse voice, he slowly uttered, "I am sorry." Cynthia and Yoel both shared an expression of synchronized confusion. Mustering his courage, Yoel questioned, "Mr. Neal... what was that?" Ms. Yates was discussing serious matters, was she not? "Could you hold your tongue?" Joshua retorted, finding Yoel lately a bit overbearing. Yoel promptly zipped his mouth, kept a smile, and refrained from speaking further. Meanwhile, Cynthia was awaiting Joshua's response. "I was investigating something from the past, which led me to the incident today. So, I came up," Joshua fabricated, trying to sound convincing. Cynthia continued to gaze at him. "You do not believe me?" Joshua queried. "I don't," she declared succinctly, causing discomfort in Joshua. However, his thoughts drifted toward his reaction upon being disbelieved and how Cynthia must have felt when he treated her the same way before. No wonder she detested

    Seeing that their boss was about to blurt out something inappropriate again, Yoel quickly changed the topic. "By the way, Ms. Yates, how did you end up there with Moe?" "We were handling business. Acting," Cynthia replied. Yoel had a general understanding of the situation. Only Joshua was there when Cynthia explained earlier, which was why Yoel did not know. Now that he understood, Yoel did not ask any further. "So, where are we going now?" "My place." "My place." Joshua and Cynthia spoke simultaneously. Yoel pressed his lips together, unsure of whose direction to follow. "According to your script, you and Moe are acting, and you're supposed to be unconscious at the moment. Since I've already taken you out, I'll have to take you back to my place," Joshua argued, trying to figure out a way to take her home. "You should take me home," Cynthia countered. "I don't know your home's password," Joshua said, leaving Cynthia speechless. Cynthia furrowed her eyebrows, her u

    Cynthia paused for a moment before responding calmly, "He won't take advantage of me." Joshua was skilled, but she believed they would be evenly matched if it came to an actual fight between them. She would not be at a disadvantage. "Men will do everything they can to get what they want, especially when you're dealing with someone like Joshua," Moe warned, forgetting entirely about Cynthia's fighting prowess and treating her like a damsel in distress. Cynthia did not quite know how to respond. After a moment of silence, she decided, "I'll have Jimmy pick me up later. You go home first." "Alright," Moe agreed quickly. Watching her end the call, Joshua could feel a cold sensation creeping up his spine. Was she leaving? "You're leaving?" he questioned. "Yes," Cynthia answered nonchalantly. She dialed Jimmy's contact and gave him instructions and an address before hanging up. Seeing Cynthia arrange all this, Joshua felt a huge weight pressing down on his chest, making br

    Yoel glanced at Joshua through the rearview mirror and ventured, "If you don't want to let Ms. Yates go, why don't you ask her to stay?" "You think it's that easy?" Joshua retorted. If asking her to stay would help, he would have done it a long time ago. Yoel touched his nose, chose to stay silent, and concentrated on driving. "Didn't you say Moe was working as an assistant at another company? Why is he with Cynthia now?" Joshua finally started to think. "I'm not entirely sure. He said his previous boss is on vacation, and he's currently working part-time for Ms. Yates," Yoel honestly confessed. "And if you were in his shoes, would you take on a part-time job?" Joshua's tone grew colder, his gaze darker. Yoel, noticing Joshua's expression, decided to answer honestly, "No, I wouldn't." He would also take time off if his boss were on vacation. Regardless, he would still receive his salary, whether he worked or not. Most importantly, Moe was not in need of money. He'd saved

    "You really don't know?!" Jimmy exclaimed. "Know what?" Cynthia inquired. "It's nothing. I didn't say anything." Jimmy began but then cut himself off. "I'll give you a supercar." "Cynthia, it's not about the car." "Two limited-edition models, just for you." "Mitchell said he wouldn't tell you for now." "How about three?" "Captain's coming back." Cynthia perked up instantly, straightening in her seat. "Where did you get this news?" "From Mitchell. He really didn't tell you? I thought he was joking." Jimmy revealed before spilling all the news. Cynthia could hardly remain calm. If Captain was coming back, could it be to settle scores with her? "What's the matter?" Jimmy asked, steering the car into the parking lot of his apartment complex. Cynthia rubbed her temples, her heart still harboring a sliver of unease. "It's nothing." She and Jimmy alighted from the car. A little while later, after climbing the stairs and gulping down a glass of water to soothe he

    "When is Captain coming back?" Cynthia continued to ask nonchalantly, not showing any signs of discomfort about the potential exposure. Mitchell chuckled softly. "I do not know." Cynthia questioned, "You really do not?" "I truly do not. He only mentioned that he would return in a while. No specific time was given." Mitchell was not concealing anything from her. Cynthia fell silent. No wonder Captain had told her during their last call that they would discuss matters when they meet. From the other end of the line, Mitchell started to guess, "Did you do something behind Captain's back?" Cynthia was speechless. Why did everyone react this way? "No. If he tells you when he is coming back, let me know in advance. I need to prepare." Cynthia stuck to her answer. "Prepare to run away?" Mitchell's slow, deep voice traveled through the phone. Cynthia remained silent. Dealing with someone she was close to was never easy. "If you truly did something to offend Captain, I sug

    A crease formed instantly between Cynthia's brows. "Hold them back. I will be there shortly." "Understood!" Upon hanging up, Cynthia sent Moe a quick message explaining she had to attend to something urgent. She then got in her car and headed toward the place where Ellora resided. Meanwhile, at Ellora's location. After having breakfast, she was enjoying a walk when she noticed a large group heading toward her. However, considering the distance, she thought nothing of it, assuming it was probably someone's bodyguard out for a morning run. After all, the area where she lived was Nexuria's infamous luxury villa district. Ten minutes later, just as she was about to enter the house after her walk and enjoy some piano music, she saw people approaching. It was then that she recognized who the visitors were. Chyler and his entourage attempted to force their way in, but the bodyguards Cynthia had arranged for Ellora stopped them in their tracks. The head bodyguard immediately dialed

    "Do you not believe me?" Chyler was hurt by her response. "Does it matter if I believe you or not? Your attempt to force me to kill our child was real, wasn't it?" Ellora intentionally kept the conversation going to buy time until Cynthia could arrive and resolve the situation. Chyler fell silent. Indeed, he was at fault for that incident. However, he still felt the need to explain. "Talia told me that your health was not fit for pregnancy. That's why I took such drastic measures." "Is the fate of my child to be decided by someone else? Don't you find that ridiculous?" Ellora always had a way of hitting the crux of the matter. "Ellora..." "I won't be going back with you. Just leave," she interrupted. "You know my temperament well. You should be aware of the consequences when I'm pushed into a corner." Chyler, seeing that gentle persuasion was not working, was ready to take a different approach. Ellora seemed unfazed. With a slight smile, her gaze met his. "You're still

    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.

    "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
