"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

    'What a pain this ex-wife of Joshua was,' Chyler thought. "Ellora, do you really think you can resolve the situation by hiding? Don't forget that we're still legally married. By law, you're still my wife." Chyler knew that Ellora could hear him, so he spoke directly. "One month from now, our Ms. Yates will be filing for divorce on behalf of Ms. Ellora," one of the bodyguards chimed in. Chyler's gaze was sharp as a blade. How talkative this bodyguard was! Had he no sense of his job? "Does Cynthia think she is the high and mighty Ms. Yates of Yates Group and can meddle in other people's family affairs?" Chyler asked, clearly irritated. The bodyguard replied, "This is about promoting virtue and punishing vice." "Do you want to get fired?" "Mr. Young, I am a bodyguard for the Yates family, not the Young family," the guard shot back. Chyler's anger was so intense it was physically painful. Cynthia and her people were all a bunch of no-goods. "Chyler, please leave. I'll r

    The moment she appeared, she became the focus of the whole scene. Ellora, standing by the window, felt a sudden lift in her heavy heart. Her eyes welled up with tears. "Cynthia!" "Ms. Yates," the two bodyguards saluted in unison. Cynthia handed them the car keys and only then turned to address Chyler. "Will you leave on your own, or shall I make you leave?" The word 'make' was emphasized by Cynthia. Chyler knew it was a threat. He considered confronting her. However, he also knew that if it came down to a fight, Cynthia would not be bothered with other bodyguards, and he would be her first target. And he could not beat her! At that moment, he deeply regretted not taking up Joshua's past invitations to train. Had he done so, perhaps it would be Cynthia lying on the floor instead of him when it came to a fight! "Can't you just mind your own business? This is a domestic issue between me and Ellora. Why are you interfering?" Chyler was extremely displeased with Cynthia. "Sh

    Cynthia agreed. Ten minutes later, Chyler stepped into the living room and sat across from Ellora, with Cynthia at Ellora's side. Cynthia had initially planned to wait on the sidelines since she knew her presence might not be appropriate during their conversation. However, Ellora insisted she stays. Ellora broke the silence, empowered by Cynthia's presence. "I've said all that needs to be said. If you have anything to say, speak your mind." "Do I have no chance left at all?" Chyler asked. Ellora responded firmly, "None." "You do not want to be with me at all?" "Yes." Chyler was confused. "Why? I never intended to hurt you. I will never make decisions on my own based on what others say. I will put you first." "I am tired," Ellora admitted, not favoring life in high society. Chyler was handsome, academically excellent since childhood, and a successful business leader. Because of her marriage to him, she had endured numerous provocations and disdain from other women, all

    The weight that had been pressing heavily on Ellora's heart finally lifted. However, there was still an emptiness that lingered. A sense of unease knotted up in her chest, and she reached out to Cynthia. "Cynthia, hold me." In response, Cynthia gave her a warm, secure embrace. Ellora held on, not asking to be released, and Cynthia did not let go. After an indeterminable length of time, Ellora finally spoke, her voice slightly hoarse, "Cynthia." "Hmm?" "Do you think I'm mad? He treated me so badly, yet I feel a little sad hearing that he has agreed to the divorce." Ellora rested her chin on Cynthia's shoulder. Her eyes tinged with red. "All humans have emotions. People are complex by nature, and you're doing really well," Cynthia comforted her. Love and hate are normal. There was nothing to worry about. After all, one cannot control the heart and emotions at will. "I wish I could be as carefree as you, but it seems like I can't," Ellora confessed, her voice filled with pai

    "Alright," Ellora nodded in agreement. Cynthia kept her company for a little while longer. Just when Cynthia was about to leave, Ellora blurted out, "Cynthia." "Yes?" "Do you consider me to be your secret lover?" Ellora asked, an impish grin playing on her lips. "Not at all." "Why?" "Because you are my... dear little baby," Cynthia replied. Ellora could not hold back her laughter. Cynthia looked at her, somewhat perplexed. "Did I say something wrong?" "Far from it." Ellora raised her hand to poke Cynthia's cheek, her eyes gleaming warmly. "It's just surprising hearing these words come from your mouth. It's endearingly goofy." Cynthia furrowed her brow. She poked Ellora's forehead. "I suggest you revisit your English lessons, especially the part about adjectives." Ellora merely laughed in response. Cynthia did not linger after that. She left after giving some instructions to Ellora and the bodyguards. By the time she returned to Arch International Group, it was already

    Joshua was left speechless by Yoel's simple yet good question. His initial investigation into Moe was solely out of curiosity about Moe and Cynthia's identities. However, now that he had the answers, he found himself in a state of confusion. Yoel stood silently, for once without his small talk. "I plan on doing nothing. I merely wanted to resolve my doubts," Joshua finally responded. Not every action has to carry significance; sometimes, one simply needs to find answers to the questions that weigh on their mind. Yoel paused before asking, "When do you plan on returning to Jiverton?" "We'll see." Joshua avoided giving a definite response. Throughout the conversation, Yoel could clearly sense his boss's diminishing enthusiasm and his growing regret over his divorce from Ms. Yates. However, what's done is done. Not every action can be rectified, and not every mistake can be amended. As for the relationship between his boss and Ms. Yates, all that was left was regret. In the

    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
