Cynthia, seeing Matthew gazing at her, decided to pour herself a glass of wine. Till then, she had only had one drink, which was no big deal, but Matthew quickly caught on to her intention. After clinking glasses with Jimmy and finishing his drink, he refilled his glass on his own.When he clinked glasses with Cynthia, he deliberately moved a bit closer, whispering, "Why do I feel like they're trying to get me drunk?""What?" Cynthia looked puzzled, maintaining a calm exterior while feeling slightly uneasy. Was Matthew really that sharp?Matthew did not detect anything unusual from her expression and continued to tease her, "Wasn't it you who asked Mitchell and Jimmy to get me drunk?""No." Cynthia shook her head, glancing over at Mitchell and Jimmy, who were acting quite naturally.Seeing her reaction, Matthew started to doubt if he was overthinking it."If you don't want to drink anymore, then don't," Cynthia earnestly advised.Thirty minutes later, everyone had almost fin

Matthew walked over carefully, asking, "What's something that I shouldn't know?" Cynthia's body tensed. As she turned to face him, she murmured, "Captain..."Why did he come out? "Tell me… What shouldn't I know?" Matthew stood before her, enveloping her in his embrace. Cynthia instinctively tried to step back, only to realize she had a wall behind her, leaving her with no escape route.Witnessing this, the onlookers wisely made a swift exit. The corridor was empty in no time, leaving only the two of them."Hmm?" Matthew lowered his voice.Cynthia appeared innocent, with just a hint of unease as she uttered, "It's nothing.""Are you not going to tell me the truth?""Really, it's nothing.""Naughty kids get punished." Matthew's thumb lightly brushed against her rosy lips, teasing her.Cynthia noticed Matthew was rather drunk and quickly lied, "I accidentally tripped when I came out of the restroom earlier. I didn't want you to worry, so I asked them to keep it a secret.""

After that, Cynthia led Matthew away. Once they were in the car, Cynthia received messages from her two close friends, Riley and Gaby. She had not even opened their group chat when she guessed that their messages would not be anything serious. Her guess was correct.[Riley: Cyn, you're as impressive as always.][Riley: Just a friendly reminder, Captain is drunk, so take it easy when handling things. You know what I mean.][Riley: I'm not talking about the ring size measurement, you know.][Gaby: Honestly, I never thought you were the daring type.][Gaby: Go for it!][Cynthia: ...][Cynthia: What on earth are you both thinking? I'm just going to measure his ring size.][Riley & Gaby: Sure.]Cynthia fell silent. Sometimes, it was best not to reply when the conversation was getting out of hand. After changing the topic by saying she was getting some rest, she temporarily turned off her phone's screen. On the way back, she kept a close eye on Matthew's condition. Once she saw

Cynthia noticed Matthew's damp hair and grabbed a nearby towel to help him dry off. She then took a hairdryer and carefully blew his hair dry. Throughout the process, Matthew was incredibly cooperative.After guiding him to sit on the bed, Cynthia prepared some honey water for him to drink. All the while, she felt a slight nervousness, unsure if Matthew was completely asleep. What if he suddenly woke up when she was about to measure his ring size? That would ruin the surprise.Lost in these thoughts, time slipped away unnoticed. Before she knew it, ten minutes had passed. Listening to his steady breathing, she softly called out to him, "Captain?""Captain...""Are you asleep?"She whispered several more times, but Matthew did not respond. Matthew was genuinely asleep and had let his guard down with Cynthia. Moreover, he decided to just sleep to cooperate with her plan, but Cynthia had no way of knowing this.After fetching the ring sizer from the bodyguard, Cynthia asked in t

The 14th and 15th were back-to-back days. Jonathan was concerned that if Cynthia went back on the 15th, it might disrupt their plans."Are you not bringing me along to meet your dad?" Matthew asked, recalling the overheard conversation.Cynthia's body tensed up, and her gaze showed a noticeable hint of nervousness. Then, she pursed her lips and pretended to be clueless, saying, "So soon?""It does seem a bit early. Why don't you freshen up and come down for breakfast? I'll drive you back." Matthew ruffled her hair, not trying to pressure her."No need.""I'm driving you back."Cynthia fell silent. She was well aware that arguing with Matthew was a losing battle. When it came to matters like driving her home, as long as she did not have a strong reason to refuse him, he would insist on taking her back.After breakfast, Matthew drove Cynthia back home. Jonathan and Shirley had been waiting. Upon hearing the sound of a car outside, they stepped out to greet them at the entrance.

"What's wrong?" Jonathan asked when he noticed her silence.Cynthia did not tell him the truth, just responding with, "It's nothing. Let's go in. It's quite cold out here.""Alright." Jonathan and Shirley both accompanied her inside.Once inside, Jonathan fetched her a glass of water and cautiously asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you're dating someone?""I thought I'd wait until things are more stable.""Isn't it stable now?"Cynthia hesitated. Things were stable, but she wanted to wait longer in case Matthew's interest in her was based on their past interactions and not on who she truly was. Cynthia wanted him to know her as she was now before telling Jonathan.Jonathan became concerned, and he said in a serious tone, "Are you two okay? What happened?""We're doing well," Cynthia replied sincerely.Jonathan glanced at Shirley as if seeking confirmation. Shirley hinted and reassured Jonathan that Cynthia and Matthew were doing great.With this, Jonathan felt at ease.

[Cynthia: What's going on?]Felix glanced at his son, who seemed quite different from usual, and replied simply, [Nothing.]At the same time, everyone at the Neal family mansion was taken aback by Joshua's return. Old Man Neal frowned, asking, "Weren't you off to Nexuria to pursue Cynthia? Why are you back?""I'm not pursuing her anymore.""Why not?""She's got a boyfriend."Old Man Neal was shocked.Felix was not surprised by this as Cynthia had always been an exceptional young woman, and having suitors was entirely natural. However, he was curious how his son could accept this so calmly."Who's her boyfriend?" Old Man Neal inquired with concern. He truly regarded Cynthia as his granddaughter. "Is he treating her well? Have you checked his background?""The Quier Group's Matthew Quier. He's honest and trustworthy, someone worthy to be Cynthia's partner," Joshua calmly uttered words that cut deep into his own heart. No one wanted to see the person they liked with someone els
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 809
Old Man Neal began to bring up old issues, saying, "Do you remember what you said the first time Cynthia told us about the divorce? You knew Joshua was going down the wrong path, yet you, as his father, didn't offer any advice or discipline him."Felix froze. It was true that he had not handled that situation as well as he could have. He was joking when he teased Joshua for treating Cynthia as a replacement for Jayleen, a passing comment without much thought. Felix knew Joshua had a first love but did not know anything else. Little did he know that Joshua would indeed divorce Cynthia for that person. He would have certainly intervened if he had known the whole story back then. Nonetheless, it was clear that Joshua and Cynthia were not meant for each other and were not meant to spend the rest of their lives together. "I really don't understand what Daphne saw in you. Your mom and I were so deeply in love. How did we end up with a jerk of a son like you?" Old Man Neal could not

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
