"Why don't you like him?" Cynthia asked. Joshua stayed silent. The reason was pretty straightforward. If Captain continued to stay close to Cynthia, there was a high chance that she might be taken away by him. Before he could stabilize his relationship with Cynthia, he could not afford to let that happen. "Is it that difficult to answer?" she asked, sensing his hesitation. "Before I answer that question, Cynthia, can I ask you one?" Joshua countered. "Go ahead." "If both Captain and I fell into the sea, and there were many venomous sea snakes in the water, and you could only save one of us, who would you choose to save?" Joshua's question was asked with utmost seriousness. Cynthia was left speechless by this outlandish question. Seeing her hesitation, Joshua pressed on, "You would save Captain, wouldn't you?" "I'd save you," Cynthia said without hesitation. She owed Joshua a life. If such a situation did arise, she would save him first. However, she would still find a w

Watching Joshua, Matthew raised an eyebrow. His deep voice was calm. "What's this about?" "I'm sorry," Joshua began reluctantly. There was no hint of reluctance on his face, however. "I lied to Cynthia yesterday and wronged you. I'm sorry." Matthew smiled slightly. "Is that sincere?" Cynthia was puzzled. What was Captain doing? "Mmhm." Joshua nodded. "To prove that you really are feeling guilty of your actions, summarize The Pilgrim's Progress for me in handwriting. I'll forgive you after you've done that." Matthew walked over and handed him a book. Joshua was at a loss for words. Matthew was truly hard to like. "Captain, what are you doing?" Cynthia's voice was softer. Confusion etched on her face. "Don't you think he needs to be educated? Let him summarize The Pilgrim's Progress and learn." Matthew wanted to see if Joshua would expose himself. The handwriting of an adult differed greatly from that of a child. He was interested to see how Joshua would do this.
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 615
Matthew did not show any signs of anger. Instead, he seemed to think that not only was Joshua a great actor, but he was also quick-witted. If it had not been for his past hurtful actions toward Cynthia, Matthew would have actually admired him. Joshua set down the spoon in his left hand, his voice and gaze betraying no flaws. "I've summarized The Pilgrims' Progress. Can you forgive me for my past mistakes?" "Of course. Admitting your mistakes and correcting them makes you a good child," Matthew responded calmly. Joshua did not really care about that. He just looked at Cynthia excitedly, with a bit of a coquettish tone, "Cynthia, he has forgiven me. Are you still mad at me?" "Not mad. Remember what I told you though. You cannot lie or falsely accuse anyone ever again. Understand?" Cynthia replied gently, her eyes soft yet complex. Joshua nodded. "Yes." "Good." "Cynthia." "Yes?" "Actually, I lied to you about something else." Joshua's gaze darkened slightly, and he hes

Joshua had paid the price by saving her. Compared to settling old scores, Cynthia felt as if she still owed him. As Joshua felt her warm hand, his sobbing gradually subsided, yet his desire to possess Cynthia intensified. "However…" He raised his head from her embrace, looking at her with a self-blaming expression. "What is it?" "There's another thing I lied to you about. This one's about me," Joshua admitted, his gaze falling. He had thought it through. Rather than having Yoel and Matthew expose him, he figured it was better to tell another lie half-truthfully. That way, even if Cynthia later found out the truth from Matthew or Yoel, her reaction wouldn't be too severe. Cynthia calmly accepted this. "Go ahead." "Once I reveal this, you'll definitely be angry, and you might even ignore me. Can you promise me, no matter what I reveal later, you won't abandon me?" Joshua gauged his tone perfectly, and his acting was top-notch. "Alright," Cynthia agreed. Just like any other
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 617
That way, she could return a healthy Joshua to Old Man Neal and Daphne sooner. With these thoughts, Cynthia's mood eased a bit. "When Yoel was discussing the past with me, I felt as if my mental age had shifted a bit. That's why I lied about going to fetch the cufflinks," Joshua confided, now that he knew she did not despise him. "So you lied to see Sean?" Cynthia frowned, seemingly confused about his approach. According to their earlier plan, she would have taken him to see Sean for a check-up that day anyway. Why would he lie and go alone? "Mm-hmm." Joshua nodded, cautiously testing Cynthia's boundaries and blaming Sean in the process, "Sean had told me earlier to seek him out if I felt uncomfortable in any way." Cynthia knitted her brows. Why had Sean not informed her? "Cynthia, are you angry?" Joshua was unsure of her reaction. "No." Cynthia decided she would have a serious talk with Sean, but before that, she needed to clear up something. "Why didn't you wait for me to

"Cynthia, why weren't you angry when I told you I'd regained some of my cognitive abilities? After all, I deceived you." Joshua's eyes flickered as he posed a question. "I would be upset if you continued to lie, but you told the truth in time. Moreover, regaining your cognitive abilities is a good thing. After observing you today, I had a suspicion about your mental state," Cynthia explained. "You knew I was recovering?" "I didn't know for sure, but I had my suspicions." "Cynthia, you're as smart as our neighbor, Matthew. He said I had recovered when he took me over yesterday. I didn't expect you to figure it out either." Joshua's choice of words changed, fitting his seventeen-year-old persona. Cynthia looked at Joshua. Captain knew about this? She asked for clarification, "What do you mean by that?" Joshua explained what had transpired before. Of course, after explaining, he remembered to justify himself, "Matthew said I had recovered. Initially, I wanted to admit it
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 619
Now, as she contemplated, she wondered if Captain had Joshua summarized The Pilgrim's Progress in the afternoon to see if his handwriting would give him away. After all, there was a distinct difference between an adult's handwriting and a child's. However, Joshua managed to conceal it perfectly. "Cynthia." Joshua's voice suddenly called out from outside. Opening the door, Cynthia asked, "What is it?" "I have something to ask you. I'm not sure if you're willing to listen." Joshua primarily wanted to buy Sean some time to think and make a decision. "Go ahead." "Do you like our neighbor, Matthew?" Cynthia was taken aback. What kind of question was this? Seeing the sincerity on Joshua's face, she could not help but recall his acting abilities. "Haven't I already answered that?" she reminded him. "I just want to confirm one more time. If Matthew were to confess his feelings to you, would you agree to be with him?" Joshua felt this was of utmost importance to him. "No, I wo
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 620
For some reason, she found this information slightly unsettling. "Before the incident at Queneska Island, did you and Joshua make any sort of deal? Just tell me. In the future, if you need my help, I'll assist you once free of charge." Cynthia, after careful deliberation, posed her question. Sean was surprised to hear that. Such a tempting offer. Cynthia's fees were quite high. However, the success rate was always one hundred percent when she lent a hand. "This puts me in a difficult position," Sean confessed, his tone gentle. Cynthia did not respond. After a long pause, Sean finally made a decision, "Telling you now wouldn't make any difference. Moreover, I promised Joshua that I wouldn't." "Are you sure you won't tell me?" "I can't." Sean was firm. Recalling her previous negotiation with Sean during the rescue mission, Cynthia spoke, "You remember what you promised when you asked me to bring Yves to save Joshua, right?" Sean paused, recollecting the conditions s

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.

"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
