For the rest of the afternoon, the three of them remained engrossed in their respective tasks. Initially, Cynthia was just acting, but she soon worked through the documents Moe had brought. By the time she finished, it was already past six in the evening.Matthew suggested going out for dinner, and Kendrick took the initiative to leave, not wanting to intrude on their alone time. He figured he could catch up with Cynthia later after their meal.Once Kendrick left, the room was left with only Cynthia and Matthew. Despite her inner turmoil, Cynthia maintained a calm facade as she spoke to Matthew, sounding casual, "You didn't have any business dealings here before, so what brought you over?""I didn't have any before, but now I do," Matthew said. It was not entirely a lie, as the Quier Group indeed had some businesses here. "If I hadn't bumped into Ken, I wouldn't have known you were here either."Cynthia changed the topic. "Let's go get dinner.""Sure." Matthew followed her lead, a

"I'm going to buy something. It will just take two minutes," Matthew insisted."But didn't we agree not to work? Why are you still buying it?" Cynthia questioned.Matthew initially looked puzzled, not understanding her meaning. After a moment of contemplation, he connected her unusual reaction and their conversation, and everything became clear."Do you think I'm going in to buy a pack of condoms?" He looked at her with a teasing gleam in his deep eyes.Cynthia remained quiet.Was he not?Matthew gently pinched her soft cheek. "I'm going in to buy sanitary pads. You might need them a little earlier these days. What's with your mind always wandering?"He had checked in the afternoon and noticed that she had not prepared them. A few months ago, it used to be around the 20th. However, it was delayed by a day or two each month, and now it was the 1st.Cynthia put on an earnest expression and bluffed, "That's exactly what I meant. I was thinking of buying them tomorrow.""Wait for

However, Matthew disagreed with her, and he carried her inside the suite. Cynthia's entire body stiffened, feeling a bit apprehensive."Why do you look like I'm going to devour you? Even if you wanted to do something with me, you'd still have to ask if I agree," Matthew teased her, a playful glint in his attractive eyes.Cynthia remained silent, unsure of how to respond to that. It was not as if she really wanted to sleep with him."Finish freshening up and go to sleep early." Matthew stopped teasing her, aware of her shyness. "We'll go out together tomorrow.""I have something to do tomorrow.""The day after then.""I'm busy the day after too.""Little Cyn.""Yeah?""Don't you think you've been neglecting me a bit?" Matthew came closer to her, whispering, "I come to see you, and you kick me out. I ask you to go out with me, and you're saying you're too busy." Cynthia remained quiet, thinking about how to respond. "Or is it that you're planning something behind my back?"

"This is to prevent you from running away and causing trouble for us. We might need you to suffer a little for things to go somewhat smoothly," the stubbled man explained.Someone brought over a rope to tie her up as he said this. Cynthia did not resist, thinking that it was likely that these people would take her to their headquarters. However, she soon noticed how they were tying the knots was somewhat familiar."Rest assured, we won't actually harm you. Just think of it as a real-life escape room game. You'll sleep for a while and wake up when it's over," the stubbled man added."Who are you?" "We can't tell you yet." "Why did you kidnap me?""Just to meet Matthew." Cynthia's gaze turned cold.The stubbled man exchanged a glance with someone beside him, and the person handed her a drink."This will make you fall asleep. When you wake up, everything will be back to normal. You'll be fine, and so will Matthew," the stubbled man explained.Cynthia did not drink it. No

"Mr. Laird... didn't you say not to lay a finger on that girl?" One of the henchmen was confused and asked, "You even said if anyone made her cry or harmed her, they'd face consequences. Why are we planning to interrogate her now?"Matthew would surely make them pay if anything bad happened during the interrogation."It's not a real interrogation, just curiosity," the stubbled man explained, knowing the consequences well.The henchmen hesitated, clearly uncertain. The stubbled man pulled a long face, saying, "What's with those looks? It's like you guys think I'm afraid of him.""We don't think you're afraid. You just lost to him in the special organization's competition.""And lost three times in a row.""Matthew has only participated three times.""The previous champion became a runner-up when Matthew joined. Nothing to fear indeed."The two henchmen exchanged comments back and forth, gradually getting the stubbled man more irritated. Then, he snorted and said, "I'll show yo

So? Charles certainly would not tap her with it. If he did, Matthew might just go all out against him."I don't know why you've tied me up here, and I don't want to know your purpose, but if you don't release me, I won't hold back." Cynthia gave them one last chance.Charles and his two henchmen exchanged glances, baffled by her response. What could someone being tied up do?Charles was genuinely curious and replied, "Let's give it a go. I want to know what you can do."By now, Cynthia had managed to untie herself. However, she had not quite figured out their intentions. Initially, she thought they might just be joking with Matthew. Yet, now that they were getting into interrogation tools, it was clear that this was no joke.Cynthia could not help if something went wrong between the higher-ups, causing the once trusty ally against each other. Regardless, she could not let Matthew take the direct risk.Charles was not underestimating her. Despite his seemingly casual demeanor,

Up until now, Charles had only lost to Matthew in global solo combat. While Cynthia's skills, marksmanship, and abilities were formidable within the team, she was still a step behind compared to Matthew. Against this man, she would still be at a disadvantage, even with her impressive abilities.Now that Cynthia had caught him off guard, she must not lose the advantage she had fought hard to gain due to his words. "Mr. Laird, you said she's K.""The K who partnered with Matthew to defeat you and Aicker?" The two henchmen were shocked. After all, 'K' had never revealed herself to anyone before. Whenever something happened, Matthew mentioned that 'K' was not entirely an official member of the organization and needed to maintain a low profile in their daily life.Yet, 'K' turned out to be this beautiful lady!"Get lost, both of you. If it weren't for Aicker not performing well back then, I might not have lost either." Charles thought they were embarrassing him."Yeah, you're right

Charles was disgusted by Matthew's display of affection. My beloved?Yuck!Charles scanned the area, not seeing his men. "What have you done to them?""I just knocked them out and locked them up. If I didn't want them to inform you, your base would be left with no one," Matthew explained seriously, his gaze confirming Cynthia's safety before relaxing."Did you have to go to such extremes?""You started it."Charles immediately felt guilty, and he sincerely apologized to Cynthia, "I'm at fault here. I intended to frighten Matthew to see his reaction when his girlfriend was captured. I didn't expect it to escalate to this situation."Cynthia glanced at Matthew. It was not a big deal for her, but she could not say the same for Matthew. "If you really want to apologize, bring out your newly developed weapons for us. Verbal apologies are rather meaningless." Matthew walked over gracefully.Charles was annoyed at how infuriating Matthew could be. "If you're not going to show u

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
