Joshua raised his tone slightly, with a warning, "Is there a problem?""If you tell Ms. Yates, she will definitely call the police," Yoel's trap opened up one after another, "Everything will be exposed by then, no?""Just say that it has been dealt with," Joshua felt that this person was stupid.Yoel agreed with a look of embarrassment, "Okay… Okay."In fact, he was secretly overjoyed! As long as Ms. Yates checked the previous footage, she would find that the previous footage in the cloud had been deleted. For others, there was no way to restore it, but for Ms. Yates, who was a super hacker, it was simply a piece of cake!At that time, if he could discretely drop another hint, Ms. Yates would be able to see today's surveillance screen.As long as she could see it, she would know that something was wrong with the boss!Then it would not be him who let it out.Thinking of this, Yoel felt that he was really too smart. Thankfully his boss had lost his memory, he did not know that
Sean's eyes were fixated upon him, and after looking him up and down, he asked, "Have your mentality grown?"Joshua glanced at him.His eyes were saying, 'Why are you asking the obvious?'Sean did not say much either, and after asking someone to take two more sets of chopsticks, the three of them had lunch together. During the meal, Sean had been observing Joshua, from his words and deeds to various reactions and words.Finally he came to a conclusion: His condition seemed to be getting worse."If you keep looking at me, I will think that you have a crush on me," Joshua disliked people staring at him, even if this was his doctor.Yoel, "..."Sean, "..."Sean glanced at Yoel, "Is Cynthia not coming along?""No…" Yoel said honestly."I came here today just to get a cuff button that I dropped here before," Joshua was telling both of them, "In addition to that, Dr. Carter pulled me to ask some daily questions. Other than that, nothing happened.""Understand?" He looked at the tw
"Oh," Joshua chuckled.Sean could not see through his thoughts."Am I not exposing myself if I ask?" Joshua said directly, looking at Sean with some scrutiny in his eyes, "Which five-year-old child would care about this?""Are you not going to tell Cynthia about your recovery?" Sean asked.Joshua was very clear about it, "If she knows that I have recovered, she will definitely not care about me anymore."He was not stupid.Once he left, Cynthia would be taken advantage of by the man next door."Or are you going to tell her?" Joshua asked him, seeing that he was silent."I am not a nosy person," Sean really did not plan to tell her about it, at least not right now, "However, remember one thing, Cynthia does not like being deceived, if she knows you are just pretending, she will never be with you."Joshua did not speak, but his eyes were obviously stained with other emotions."Also," Sean emphasized to him, "This is a society ruled by law. Intentional killing and wounding are b
It should have been enough for him to answer yes or no within this short time! "Mr. Cheyne," Joshua spoke in a somewhat assertive tone.Yoel, "..."Yoel was confused by Sean's behavior. He regained his composure and walked towards his boss, obediently got in the car and started the car to leave.After going out of the medical base for a while, Joshua looked at him deeply, "What are you talking with Sean about?""Nothing.""Is this your attitude when talking to the boss?""That is how I used to talk to you before," Yoel made it up, "You asked me to keep it up, and you also praised me for not being a follower, and being outspoken."Joshua, "?"Joshua was skeptical about it.He wondered if his former self was so stupid."Would you like to go back to our place with me now, or to Ms. Yates's place?" Yoel asked, "Arch International will hold an annual meeting tonight, and Ms. Yates will return very late, why not you go to my house first?""No.""Then are we going to Ms. Yates'?
It was easy to find news about the annual meeting. There were so many people in Arch International, so one could easily find out just by asking.He did not say before that because he did not expect the boss to have such a trick, but now that it had been decided that his boss would find out about it either way, it was better for him to bag the rewards.Joshua glanced sideways at him, put his hand on the message he just sent, and then, in front of him, he pressed recall.Boss recalled the message.Yoel, "???""Let's go," Joshua's deep and thin lips were slightly parted, and there was still a slight smile on the corner of his lips, "Mr. Cheyne.""It is not good for you to do this, is it? As a boss, you should do as you say.""Did I not tell you before that you should not believe anything written clearly in black and white?" Joshua admired him with deep satisfaction, "Things that are not in hand may change at any time."Yoel, "..."He did.However, he had never cheated on him lik
There were some things that he felt he could not see clearly.The time flew by.The annual meeting in the evening went very smoothly.The lucky draw became the highlight of the night, starting from the third prize and going up in turn. Every time a winner was announced, there would be excitement and screams on the scene.When it came to the first prize, the audience were incredibly excited.Cynthia and Matthew stood at a hidden place on the second floor, watching everything below, and feeling the lively atmosphere below. Cynthia asked, "Are you not going down to try your luck?""No.""Why?""Although there are many prizes and bonuses, they are not what I want," Matthew never cared about these external things.Cynthia squinted, with a little curiosity, "What do you want?""You," Matthew blurted out, his star-like eyes met hers, with a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect.Cynthia paused.For some reason, her heart felt as though it was washed away by this word.She lo
She racked her brains and thought about all the things she could see every day, and finally found that most of them were small things, and the only one that met all the conditions was that one.Arch International Group.As she was thinking about this, Cynthia subconsciously glanced at her captain, feeling somewhat heavy.Arch International Group was her painstaking effort, as well as Moe's painstaking effort, if it was given away directly… It did not look like a very good idea."Captain," She never thought that what the captain wanted was this.Seeing her complicated face, Matthew asked, "Huh?""The one you want… I cannot give it to you for the time being," Cynthia showed hesitation, she was not stingy, but Arch International was more important, "If you really want it, I suggest you change it."Matthew's heart was stung a little.There was nothing unusual on his face, and he still had that lazy look, "If I only want this one.""Cannot be changed?""Cannot."Cynthia looked sa
"What is that?""Take a guess.""I cannot guess.""Then go back and write in black and white. I will ask you for it when I am ready, and you will give it to me," Matthew did not plan to tell her any more. Now she guessed he wanted Arch International, and he was afraid that later on she would think he wanted Moe."I see," Cynthia said suddenly.Matthew had a bad premonition in his heart, so he asked, "What?""Momo, right?" Cynthia asked seriously, and incidentally explained the reason, "I heard from Mitchell and the others that you have set up a training base. Are you planning to start a business but are afraid you have no experience?"If so, it was easy.She had a lot of experience and could definitely help the captain."I had already submitted the documents for the training base," Matthew had decided that she could not figure it out, and said in a lazy and careless tone, "Do not guess, you cannot guess it with your current brain."Cynthia, "..."Sure enough, the captain was
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
