When Cynthia saw Shirley holding a baseball bat and glaring at Joshua, she was taken aback. "Shirley, what are you doing..."Shirley panicked and quickly hid the baseball bat behind her back, stammering, "Nothing..."She strongly suspected that Joshua had deliberately orchestrated this situation just to make Cynthia think she was going to hit him!How infuriating."Shirley was teaching me how to deal with bad people when I'm home alone," Joshua chimed in, being very cooperative and acting innocent.Shirley was left speechless.Cynthia approached them and reassured Joshua, "Even if I have something to attend to and can't be with you, I'll have bodyguards to protect you. You won't be alone.""Thank you, Cynthia." Joshua softened when talking to Cynthia, addressing her by name, "Cynthia…"Cynthia responded, "Hmm?""Can I not call you Auntie?" Joshua asked.Cynthia was puzzled. "Shirley said you're not my sister, and it's inappropriate to call you that, but... I don't want to

"He has the mentality of a five-year-old..." Cynthia coughed lightly, reminding Shirley.Shirley was extremely possessive of Cynthia and argued, "I don't care. If he's five years old, then I'm only three. If you pat his head, I'll cry!"How could Cynthia's ex-husband compete for her affection? Shirley would not let him!Cynthia lovingly ruffled Shirley's hair, looking amused as she thought how Shirley was just as adorable as when she was a child.Joshua initially felt a bit sad, but when he saw Cynthia smiling, he could not help but smile too. "Cynthia, you're smiling!""She's smiling because of me! It has nothing to do with you!" Shirley retorted."As long as Cynthia is happy, I'm happy," Joshua said sincerely. Shirley was taken aback. Looking at the innocent face before her, her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and complex emotions surged within her. This person in front of her may be Joshua, but he was only five. Five years old... Why was she arguing with a little kid?"

Cynthia considered it thoughtfully and said, "Put it in the gift box for the participants. After the lucky draw, announce that there is a mysterious gift among the participation prizes and see who gets it."This way, it would not cause too much commotion, and she could openly give it to Matthew.Moe agreed to each request. "Okay.""Will you attend this year's annual party?" Moe asked. In the past, Cynthia never attended the annual party, and Moe usually handled everything.Cynthia declined, "No, I'll go to the masquerade ball on the eighth floor."Whether it was Arch International Group or the Yates Group, she had never attended their annual parties. If Matthew had not mentioned the masquerade ball a few days ago, she probably would not have bothered with these matters.Moe has been mostly in charge of the Arch International Group since its establishment. "You..." Moe was surprised but quickly added, "Alright.""Momo.""Yes?" Cynthia did not want to tie him down to the com

Matthew glanced at Joshua sitting silently on the couch and said to Cynthia, "There's something I need your help with.""What is it?" Cynthia responded calmly."I want you to come back with me for the New Year and pretend to be my girlfriend," Matthew said.Cynthia was surprised. "Me?" Why not ask Gaby and Riley instead? I'm not very good at it." She gave a similar response the last time, never considering that Matthew had feelings for her. After all, meeting parents and making a good first impression was important. Cynthia was slow to warm up, and her personality was somewhat reserved. When she married Joshua, it was only after gradually getting to know his family that she became close with them."It's not good to be too good at this kind of thing," Shirley, who had been eavesdropping, chimed in. She really wanted Matthew to be with Cynthia. "You have to be not good at it.""You don't need to stay overnight, and it won't be long. You just need to meet them," Matthew said casu

After that, Matthew took Joshua and left the apartment, heading down. Cynthia was still worried about Joshua's condition as it did not seem like indigestion.Once Shirley noticed they had all left, she curiously asked Cynthia, "Cynthia, tell me the truth. If Matthew pursued you, would you accept?"Cynthia was taken aback. Matthew? Almost instantly, she responded, "No."The idea of being pursued by her captain did not even cross her mind. After all, she still vividly remembered the grueling training sessions, and she could not stand his methods.Even the thought of having a meal together felt somewhat unreal."Why not?" Shirley was confused. "Matthew is good-looking, treats you well, and he's gentle. Isn't he a good choice?" Cynthia carefully pondered before saying, "Some people are better suited as friends."It was not just her, but even Gaby and Riley would not dare to entertain such thoughts. If Cynthia did not know what it was like to be trained by Matthew, she might

Joshua blurted out.Matthew teased, "I'll do it anyway." "If you dare, I'll tell Cynthia you hit me," Joshua argued, quickly coming up with a plan.Matthew glanced at Joshua as if saying, 'There's no scratch on you, so where did I hit you?'Nonetheless, Joshua was cunning and threw himself to the ground.Thud! The fall scratched his previously blistered hand, causing blood to trickle out.Matthew casually pointed to a spot and said, "There's surveillance there. Even if you go back with injuries all over, Cynthia can check the footage and find out."Joshua was displeased.Seeing that it was almost time, Matthew stood up. "Let's go back.""I don't want you to take care of me," Joshua grunted as he got up."Whether you want it or not doesn't matter when I'm with Cynthia. By then, not only will you be taken care of by me, but I'll also be your 'brother-in-law'," Matthew replied calmly. Joshua knew what 'brother-in-law' meant. While watching TV with Shirley in the afternoo

Cynthia was surprised and asked, "Brother-in-law?"Where did that term come from?"Will you?" Joshua stubbornly demanded an answer."The question you're asking is meaningless. If you still want to know after you've healed, I'll tell you." Cynthia shifted the topic.Not to mention that she was not even with Matthew, but even if they were together, he would not be Joshua's brother-in-law since she was not his sister.Joshua's gaze dimmed instantly, clenching his hands slightly at his sides as a wave of sadness engulfed him.Cynthia continued, "Go wash up and sleep."Joshua pursed his lips, glanced at her, and noticed the composed Matthew nearby. Another thought crossed his mind. "Cynthia.""Yes?""It hurts..." He extended his injured hand, which had been scraped quite severely. The blister on his hand had been completely rubbed off, exposing the tender flesh and causing blood to seep.Shirley frowned when she saw that, as she had not expected that a simple trip downstairs wou

In the past, the organization had dealt with a child who initially clung to Cynthia, but back then, Cynthia would smile at the child, pat their head, and play with them, and the child liked her as expected. However, Joshua's behavior was too strange. After all, children had a much keener sense than adults of whether someone liked them. Clearly, Joshua did not feel much warmth from Cynthia, yet he stubbornly clung to her. It was truly strange."Could he be worried I won't want him anymore?" Cynthia guessed based on his previous reactions. "Is that why he behaves this way?"She wanted to treat him like any other child, but she was aware of their unique relationship. Being overly affectionate would not benefit Joshua much once he recovered. Hence, it was better to care for him, show concern, and maintain a distance."Let's ask Sean about it the day after tomorrow," Matthew added, uncertain as well.Cynthia agreed, and they continued to chat casually before she and Shirley retu

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
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1496
"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
