After the call, Michelle shared the news with Mandy. Both were surprised, and Mandy asked with a light tone, "Are you sure Cynthia agreed to this?"

"Yes. After she agreed, Uncle Jonathan and Shirley said they'd come too."

Mandy did not say anything. Michelle stood there obediently, being generally respectful toward her mother.

"From today, you must get along with Cynthia and Shirley. However, don't be overly eager. As long as Cynthia doesn't object, Mr. Yates and I can get married," Mandy advised her solemnly.

"But... I've already offended Cynthia," Michelle worried.

"Everyone makes mistakes. Just behave well from now on. Don't go astray this time," Mandy reasoned with her.

Michelle fiddled with her sleeve. "Okay."

Mandy looked at her and sighed deeply, contemplating further words, but in the end, she busied herself with preparing the lunch for five. It would indeed take some time.

On Cynthia's side, they were still in the midst of breakfast. Bursting with curiosity, Sh

    The three of them entered the small villa that Jonathan had given to Mandy. Jonathan had provided all they needed and even hired a housekeeper and a cook for them. As they entered, the tantalizing aroma of food filled the air. Before long, Mandy emerged, carrying a pot of soup. "Jonathan, you're here. Please sit down. The meal is ready. We can start eating." She placed the soup on the table, her eyes filled with warmth and joy. Michelle ushered them to their seats and added, "My mom made all of these dishes herself. They're all her specialties." "Don't we have a cook?" Jonathan asked, perplexed. He had specifically hired a cook for them, hoping to improve their meals and provide balanced nutrition. "I gave the cook a day off. You rarely visit, and I wanted you to eat the food I prepared," Mandy said gently. The simplicity of her words induced a wave of guilt within Jonathan. Recently, he realized he had seldom visited this place. "Come, come, let's eat," Mandy called to

    Michelle did not push further, concluding with a simple, "Thank you." Caught in a tangle of feelings, Jonathan was unsure how to react to her. Shirley, on the other hand, considered Michelle as nothing more than an acquaintance due to their past. Polite small talk sufficed. She had no interest in any further idle chatter. Looking out into the courtyard, she wondered when Cynthia and Mandy would finish their discussion. After their previous incident, Shirley's reference to Mandy had shifted from 'Aunt Mandy' to 'Madam Mandy', a formal and detached title. Meanwhile, outside in the courtyard, Cynthia and Mandy sat on outdoor chairs, separated by a small round table. Mandy seemed more formal, her words polite and reserved, "What did you want to discuss?" She initially wanted to call Cynthia by her name. However, considering Cynthia's clear rejection, she decided to stick to the topic at hand. "There's a minor matter I want to discuss. As it's just the two of us, I'll get straight

    "Am I right?" Cynthia questioned calmly. "I know you have taken a dislike to me, Cynthia. However, there is no need for such malevolent conjectures about Michelle and myself. I am merely pursuing a simple romantic relationship with your father, devoid of any hidden interests," Mandy replied. "Is that so?" Cynthia challenged. "Yes," Mandy affirmed, her tone full of sincerity. "In that case, I will not interfere with your marriage to my father. You both can plan a time to get the marriage certificate." Cynthia declined to continue the argument. Mandy was stunned. She had not expected this to be this quick. Mandy had been facing severe interrogation moments ago, and now, after merely uttering a few sentences, Cynthia had granted them permission to obtain their marriage certificate. This was not the reaction she had expected from someone who seemed unlikely to trust her easily. "Why are you staring at me?" Cynthia questioned lightly, clearly noticing the effectiveness of her

    However, she had to consider Michelle's future. "No," Cynthia's words were frosty. Why should a stranger benefit from the hard work of her parents? "However you look at it, she is your sister. Can't you spare a bit for her?" Mandy's control slipped as she heard Cynthia's words. "You can ask my father. Ask him if he's willing," Cynthia replied. Mandy seemed utterly deflated. As Cynthia made her exit, she emphasized, "I only have one sister, Shirley. Even if you marry my father, Michelle will never be his daughter." After delivering this line, she walked away. She could not muster any sympathy for Mandy and Michelle, nor did she have any fondness for them. She wondered what her father's reaction would be if he learned about Mandy's intentions toward the Yates Group shares. With these thoughts, she returned to the living room. Upon seeing her, Shirley's mood lightened somewhat. Finally, the talk was over! "Where is my mother?" Michelle asked with a trace of confusion in

    After all, Mandy had always treated them with sincerity. Cynthia watched the scene unfold but chose not to interfere further. She merely told Jonathan, "Shirley and I will be heading home. You two can continue your conversation." "Alright," Jonathan agreed without hesitation, aware that this matter necessitated an in-depth discussion. Misunderstandings between him and Mandy were trivial. However, his beloved Cynthia should not be misunderstood. Once Cynthia and Shirley had left in the car, Shirley wasted no time in asking, "What did you two talk about? Why did Madam Mandy have such a strong reaction?" Cynthia made no attempt to hide the details, summarizing her conversation with Mandy. Five minutes later, Shirley had pieced together the situation. "So, she was just pretending in front of Dad? Why, though? She was never like this before." Shirley appeared to be stunned by the revelation, having never expected this side of Mandy. "Personal interests are the ultimate test of chara

    "Yes." "Sis, I love you!" With Cynthia's approval, she felt confident about their father's. "I may be busy on the 6th. I have something to take care of," Cynthia clarified, not wanting to inflate Shirley’s expectations. "No, it's on the 7th." Shirley's eyes twinkled with joy, and she was over the moon. Cynthia paused mid-chew. The 7th? Was that not the same date as Captain's return? Shirley noticed her sister's change of expression. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." Cynthia did not want to disappoint her sister, so she reassured her, "Just let me know the details once you guys have decided on a place." She decided that after meeting Shirley and her boyfriend on the 7th, she would head directly to the airport. Nexuria was a large place; she should not cross paths with the Captain. Cynthia felt at ease with that thought. The next day, Jonathan returned. Neither of them brought up the matter of Mandy, and their days continued as usual. And before they knew it, it was the 6th. C

    "Why didn't you tell me?" Old Man Tanz seemed genuinely hurt. He was fond of this young girl. And yet! She had neglected to share such a major life event, her marriage, with him. "I was in a secret marriage. Not only were you unaware, but my grandfather and father were kept in the dark too." Cynthia halted her chess move and attempted to soothe the old man. Old Man Tanz was even more bewildered. Who could have married Cynthia and failed to inform her family about it? It was beyond absurd! "Who was this man?" Old Man Tanz's indignation flared up on Cynthia's behalf, seething with rage. "I must give him a good lesson!" "It's in the past. I've ended things with him." "That's not acceptable. You must tell me who it is." Cynthia fell silent. She was not sure what to say. She knew that Joshua and Old Man Tanz were acquainted and quite friendly at that. Telling Old Man Tanz about the identity of her ex might not go well. "Don't you consider me as family?" Old Man Tan

    The more Old Man Tanz thought about it, the more troubled he became! Cynthia looked at the chessboard where only a handful of his pieces remained, and said softly, "Maybe you should focus on the game for now." Old Man Tanz cast her a glance before making his move. However, another question arose in his mind after only a couple of steps. "Does Captain know about all this?" Cynthia seemed taken aback, a little puzzled why he had come up in the conversation. Regardless of her confusion, she replied, "Yes." After Jimmy had found out, he gossiped about it with the rest of them. Naturally, Captain knew as well. Considering everything that had happened, he knew it all. "He really does?" A spark of hope rekindled in Old Man Tanz's eyes. Cynthia nodded. "Yes." Her simple affirmation lightened Old Man Tanz's mood considerably, and he resumed playing chess with renewed interest. Even though Old Man Tanz did not have many pieces left, he managed to hold his ground for several more mo

    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
