"At the time, I didn't hold out any hope, but who knew I'd recover later," Jayleen continued.

She had a request for Cynthia.

"After I recovered, I contacted him and told him about what happened before, and that's how we ended up where we are now."

Cynthia replied coldly, "Do you want me to give you an award for that?"

"Don't mock me. I came to you because I need your help with something." Jayleen found it difficult to speak, but she also knew that only Cynthia could help her.

She fell silent for a while before finally saying, "Can you talk to Old Man Neal and Mrs. Neal Senior for me and ask them to accept me? I really, really like Joshua."

Cynthia's hand, which was playing with her phone, stopped. She opened the WhatsApp group chat for 'The Seven Dwarfs' and sent a rare message.

[Cynthia: Do I look like a fool?]

It was Joshua before, and now it was Jayleen. Did everyone think she was an easy target to bully?

[Little Jerry: ???]

[Mitchell: ?]

[Everyone else: ???]

    "Ms. Shaw came to see me and asked me to plead with you and Mom. So that you both agree to her marriage with Joshua and accept her into the Neal family." Cynthia set the atmosphere just right, knowing she would not upset Old Man Neal.Jayleen's smile froze on her face as she stared at Cynthia.She never expected Cynthia to be so direct!"You'd better get her a pillow and ask her to dream on." Old Man Neal was also a master at sarcasm."Okay," Cynthia agreed.They talked about a few other things before Old Man Neal reluctantly hung up the phone.Cynthia told Jayleen the result, who was still unhappy. "I pleaded for you, but Grandpa says you'd better buy a pillow and dream on." Cynthia was straightforward."You did it on purpose!" Jayleen could now see through her. If she still thought Cynthia was actually helping her, she would be a fool! Cynthia admitted frankly, "Yes.""Why did you do it? If you didn't want to, you should've just said so!" Jayleen was angry, fire raging in h

    Cynthia could not understand why Jayleen was so in love with Joshua and, even more so, why Jayleen needed to prove something to her, especially after already having won him over.It was truly outrageous.Jayleen's eyes showed a determination to take a risk.Just as she was about to do something, Cynthia spoke up, "If you're thinking of setting me up by tripping or bumping into me, don't bother. There's a security camera over there."Jayleen looked over and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.If Joshua were to investigate later and find out that she had done something intentionally, all her efforts would have been in vain.Cynthia ignored Jayleen and left with her things.As soon as she got home, Cynthia received several messages from Jimmy.[Little Jerry: Holy crap! Cynthia, guess what I found out?][Little Jerry: Your future ex-husband's lover is something else.][Little Jerry: It's insane!]Cynthia put down her laptop and sat on the sofa, calling Jimmy directly, "Did

    Jayleen reached for the old phone that she had left under her pillow. When she saw the number that had not contacted her for almost a month, her heart started pounding, and her lips turned pale.Jaylen wanted to hang up the call, but she still answered the call tremblingly when she thought of the consequences.With a shaky voice, she greeted, "Hello...""Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" The voice on the other end was soft, but it terrified her.Jayleen shuddered and stammered, "I was in the bathroom and didn't hear it.""How's the situation progressing?""They still have thirteen days of the cooling-off period left. After that, they'll get the divorce certificate.""Are you sure Joshua will marry you after the divorce?" The man's voice was calm and pleasant, but his tone was intimidating."I'm sure." Jayleen gulped, her forehead covered in sweat. "He has already told his family about this. Once he gets the divorce certificate, he will marry me.""Okay." The ma

    "Did he really say that?""Did Mrs. Neal and Mr. Neal fight?""I feel like they're getting a divorce."Yoel's gaze drifted over to them.Those three were so sharp. The girl who said they were getting a divorce could not believe it and covered her mouth in shock. "No way...did I guess right?"Yoel did not show it, but he was shocked by their speculation. "Mr. and Mrs. Neal has a strong relationship. As a member of the secretary department, we should always remember not to pay too much attention to Mrs. Neal's personal life."If these few people knew that Mr. and Mrs. Neal were getting a divorce, the entire headquarters would know by tomorrow. They were professionally strong in confidentiality but as quick as lightning when it concerned gossip.Yoel let out a quiet sigh and continued working.Joshua took over an hour from the company to Cynthia's house, and it was already half past noon by the time he arrived. Cynthia was eating when she heard the knocking and went to ope

    Joshua emphasized, "She's not a third person, and I didn't cheat on you."Cynthia remained silent, feeling like it was a futile conversation."It's up to you to believe what you want," Cynthia responded firmly, convinced that Joshua had indeed cheated on her. After all, emotional cheating was still cheating. "I'll say it one last time. If you or Jayleen come to me again over your issues, I won't hesitate to expose your affair to the public. You need to consider whether you can handle the backlash.""What about you?" Joshua interrogated, his gaze locked onto her."What about me?" Cynthia frowned, annoyed."About you and Mitchell, and about you going to the hotel with Thomas in Nexuria. Would you have gone with them if I hadn't been there?"Cynthia was beyond angry. She tried to reason with Joshua, yet he kept bringing up hypothetical scenarios.Pushing him away, Cynthia replied with a sharp tongue, "I must've been out of my mind if I thought I could reason with a dog."Joshua fe

    Annoying! This was simply annoying! Cynthia had just finished cleaning up after eating when she saw a message on her WhatsApp.[Mrs. Neal, Mr. Neal hasn't eaten yet, and the food will take a while to arrive. Can you please take him out for a meal?]Cynthia replied, [No, I can't.]Yoel responded, [I know you're kind-hearted, and you'll definitely agree.]Cynthia responded, [Even if I'm kind-hearted, you can't morally pressure me to take a dog to a restaurant for a meal.]Yoel was speechless.After silently cursing at his luck, Yoelsent a message to Joshua, [Your lunch will be delivered at 3 pm.]Joshua was confused by the message.Before he could respond, Cynthia's voice came through.She held her laptop and said naturally, "Yoel wants me to take you out for a meal. Are you interested?""I don't eat food that's too heavy." Joshua was picky about his food, but he could not help wondering what Yoel was up to.He stood up, adjusted his suit, and walked over to Cynthia, sayin

    "Only cleaning toilets?" Yoel was surprised. If this were in the past, they would have had their bonus deducted.Joshua could not help but feel annoyed when he heard the word 'toilets' as it reminded him of Cynthia asking him to dine in the bathroom. "Do you want to clean the toilets too?" Joshua asked."It's probably better to leave this glorious task to the department managers," Yoel smiled and declined.The rest of the team was shocked.How could it be glorious?Joshua's mind was occupied with Cynthia's act, and he did not want to talk to them any longer, so he told them to leave."Mr. Neal, are you having lunch now, or are you going to wait for dinner? The lunch we ordered is still fresh, and if you need it, I can get it now," Yoel asked after everyone had left.Joshua glanced at him. "You're in charge of cleaning the toilets on this floor for the next two months.""Mr. Neal….""Two months.""Yes, Mr. Neal..." Yoel did not dare argue.He returned to his office, still c

    If Cynthia were to beat them up, they would use the footage from that person's phone to sue her. Cynthia did not think too much about it. To avoid trouble, she turned around and ran without arguing with them. "Grab her!" "The client said we must break her limbs." The voices came from behind.Cynthia ran very fast but did not run toward home because she knew that if she did, these people would follow her past the gate and cause trouble for her in the future. However, the community itself was located on the outskirts of Jiverton, and there were few commercial areas nearby. As she thought about it, she ran toward a larger open space with a surveillance camera."Why aren't you running anymore?" "I didn't expect you to be such a fast runner!" "I'm exhausted!" The group of people cursed and grumbled.Cynthia was not even out of breath, as her speed was no different from walking. "Who sent you here?" She only offended two people: Jayleen and Thomas.

    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
