However, Matthew had not expected this."Are you sure?" Matthew's heart swelled with happiness, yet he could not help but wonder if Cynthia was teasing him.Cynthia nodded, explaining, "Yes, I'm serious. Last time, I pretended to be your girlfriend when I visited them, and I didn't bring any gifts for your parents. This time, I'd like to meet them officially.""No need for gifts. They'll be thrilled just to have you there." Matthew smiled. Although her behavior was slightly out of character, it did not matter. He was thrilled that Cynthia even suggested meeting his parents. "How about we go tomorrow?" Cynthia had already planned everything, and she was eager to execute them. "It's the weekend.""Sounds good."Matthew promptly called his parents, informing them about bringing Cynthia home the next day. Both his parents were overjoyed.Once the time was set, Matthew pulled Cynthia into his arms, asking, "Why did you want to visit my parents so suddenly? Tell me honestly… What a

Cynthia was embarrassed. Then, she got off Matthew and sat on the couch, saying, "I'm starting to think that what Riley and Gaby said makes sense. Suddenly, I'm a bit worried about my future.""Why?" Matthew asked her."Worried that you'll sell me and then be busy counting your money," Cynthia said very seriously, with no hint of joking."You don't have to worry about that. Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't sell you." Matthew pinched her cheek.Cynthia looked at Matthew in doubt, unable to read anything from his expression.If Matthew had started his own business from scratch, he would have undoubtedly succeeded quickly, given his knack for persuasion."Don't believe me?""I believe you."Matthew was surprised by her response.Cynthia added, "My net worth is quite high. Even if you wanted to sell me, no one could afford the price."Matthew laughed. Cynthia was right. For the rest of the day, the two of them stayed together. As evening approached, Cynthia found a reason

"I promised them that you'd be here to visit them. If I go in alone, they'll definitely give me an earful. What are you planning? Hm?" Matthew said.Cynthia tried to explain, "I'm not...""If you're not, then let's go in. You can't possibly be afraid to meet my parents.""I need to touch up my makeup.""I'll wait for you."Cynthia fell silent. At this moment, she realized that no matter what she said, Matthew would not leave her alone. Hence, she removed the car keys and got out of the car, walking slowly to Matthew's side. Matthew reached out to hold her hand, but Cynthia avoided it, saying, "Wait, I forgot something."Then, she retrieved the gifts that she had left in the car from the previous night, consisting of supplements and other valuable presents."I still believe that since we're here to meet your parents, I should bring some gifts. I just don't know if they'll like it," Cynthia explained to Matthew.Cynthia wanted to ask Matthew, but if she did, he would surely say

"Who said you're old? I'll beat him up!" Hank immediately spoke up, not wanting to be misunderstood.Tracy fell silent.Hank thought about comforting her, but then he noticed Cynthia there too. He was caught in a dilemma. He could only give a meaningful look to Matthew beside him as if saying, 'Aren't you going to help me calm your mom down?'Matthew looked back, hinting, 'What's it got to do with me?''What do you mean by that?''I'm staying out of this.'Hank was becoming frustrated.Seeing the situation was not going well, Cynthia tried to mediate, "Auntie Tracy took off the bracelet you gave her, probably not just because she likes the new one, but it's also likely she wants to keep the one you gave her."Thirty years is quite a long time. Even a phone could have sentimental value and not be easy to replace after a long time, let alone something given by a spouse. Accidentally damaging it would surely be heart-wrenching."Really?" Hank directed the question to Tracy."O

Concerned that Tracy might overhear their conversation, Hank pulled Matthew to the yard for a private chat. Only Cynthia and Tracy remained in the living room, engrossed in a pleasant conversation. Cynthia replied to Tracy's questions sincerely, as this time she was really Matthew's girlfriend, not just pretending.After a while, Cynthia changed the topic, asking, "Auntie Tracy, there's something I'd like to ask you."Tracy inquired, "Is it about Matt?""Yes.""Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."Cynthia chose her words carefully before asking, "Does Captain have a nickname?""A nickname?""Yes."Tracy pondered before replying, "Well, does Matt count?" "Other than Matt, is there anything else? Something he might have been called when he was younger," Cynthia asked directly, genuinely curious. Tracy thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "Yes!""What was it?""It was… " Tracy stopped abruptly. Cynthia stared at her, patiently awaiting her to continue."M

Cynthia remembered when she had given Matthew the watch, and he had asked if she wanted to know the story behind his old watch. She had pressed him for answers, but Matthew did not say anything more. Then, there was a time when she asked him when he started liking her, and he mentioned the watch. However, she could not recall ever giving him a watch."When did he get the watch?" Cynthia still could not remember anything about it."It was many years ago, but I don't know the exact time. But I'm certain that if you keep asking him, he'll eventually tell you about his nickname," Tracy admitted honestly.Matthew was not easily moved, but once he was, it was for a lifetime. Though it was not good to think so, Tracy was relieved that Cynthia divorced Joshua. If they had not divorced, Matthew might have spent his entire life dedicated to the organization, never opening his heart to another girl."Okay." Cynthia decided to ask him again later.After a while, Hank and Matthew returned from

She had one more condition than Joshua—not disclosing her identity, family background, and past circle of friends to him. She simply wanted to be an ordinary Cynthia Yates, to which Joshua agreed. Then, they signed the agreement and obtained the marriage certificate."Isn't 200 million dollars a good enough proof?" Natalie's tone was sarcastic."Don't talk nonsense." Hank's temper flared up instantly. Just because the younger generation might not retort, it did not mean he could not. "Do you really think Cynthia is as scheming as your kids? If you sprout any more nonsense, don't blame me for chasing you out."The two were at a loss for words, so they could only glare at Cynthia. Cynthia calmly met their gaze, effortlessly asserting her dominance as she said straightforwardly, understanding that her identity was the most direct way to deal with the situation. "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Cynthia Yates. My dad is the chairman of the Yates Group, and my grandfather is the cha

"Sorry. We were wrong to make accusations without knowing the truth. Please forgive us," the two finally spoke, their words tinged with remorse."You also defamed Matthew. Apologize to him," Cynthia said, only concerned about Matthew.Despite their mounting frustration, they could not let it show. Suppressing their displeasure and grievances, they uttered, "We're sorry. Please forgive us.""When someone wrongly accuses you and tarnishes your reputation, would you forgive them just because they say sorry?" Hank's voice was cold as he backed the two young ones. "From now on, don't bother visiting us for any reason. We can't stand the sight of you.""Hank, how could you say that?!""Hank!"Natalie and Joanna both expressed their discontent. They had come this time because they heard Matthew was dating a woman who had been married before and intended to give some advice (or perhaps criticism). After all, the Quier family was a prestigious household, and they could not just let anyone

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
