"What's your plan?" Joshua asked Isabella.Isabella gave it a thought and decided to lie, "I'll put it aside for now. We can discuss it in a couple of days."Joshua simply acknowledged with a nod.Isabella had thought the conversation had ended for the night, but ten minutes later, Joshua unexpectedly chimed in, "It's best to go easy on alcohol from now on.""I don't usually drink much. This is only the second time in a few years that I've had this much," Isabella explained.Her statement was not a complete lie. While she often enjoyed going out with her friends, they mostly stuck to non-alcoholic beverages and light cocktails. If it were not to convince Roderick she was thoroughly drunk, she would not have ordered such strong liquor.Joshua did not seem entirely convinced.Isabella hurriedly defended herself, "I mean it! If you don't believe me, you can ask my mom... She knows."Joshua said, "I'm only saying this because I care about your health. Even if you have a high alcoho

Isaiah did not say more, and their call swiftly ended.After receiving his assurance, Isabella went to sleep without any worries. She knew Isaiah would fulfill his promise, so she did not dwell on it.The next day, she went to work as usual and reminded Isaiah to keep his word before earnestly delving into her tasks. However, Roderick summoned her to Luther's office soon after taking her seat. Knowing that Luther and Isabella had something to discuss, Roderick escorted her inside and promptly left.Isabella asked, "Mr. Brooks, is there something you'd like to discuss?""Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to work anymore. The secretary department has decided to downsize, and you're being let go. You'll receive the compensation owed to you under the law," Luther stated coldly.Isabella remained quiet.Seeing that she was not saying anything, Luther asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to know?""Is this because of work-related reasons or personal ones?" Isabella knew t

"No," Roderick confidently bluffed.Luther was surprised, wondering if she rejected the cake."Let me know after she eats it," Luther suddenly spoke, looking worried. "I doubt she's in the mood to eat. She looked fine before I delivered the cake, but as soon as she saw it, her eyes welled up, and she... cried," Roderick began spinning his tale but appearing extremely convincing. "What did you say to her?" Luther probed."I told her just what you instructed, that the cake was a tradition when someone left the secretary department. I didn't say anything else," Roderick replied."Call Uncle Joshua and tell him Isabella doesn't seem to be doing well," Luther ordered, unwilling to let Isabella be too unhappy. He repressed his emotions as he spoke. "Ask him what we should do." Roderick pursed his lips. "Is that really necessary?""It's fine," Luther replied. He knew very well the place Isabella held in Joshua's heart. Even if she were only slightly unhappy, Joshua would go to gre

Matthew squeezed her hand and asked, "Not angry anymore?"Cynthia replied, "Not angry.""I didn't mean to," Matthew said, opening the message from Isabella. He had quite a knack for stirring up trouble. "Last time, she intentionally tried to steal you away from me. As a dad, I had to take a stand."While he explained this, Cynthia glanced at the message Isabella had sent him. Matthew boldly handed her his phone and revisited their earlier conversation. "Last time, you said I wrongly accused her."Cynthia gently touched her nose and understood that this was all part of the father-daughter 'battle'. She conceded, "She's just a child, and you're her dad. You should indulge her.""I can indulge her in many things, but not in taking my wife away."Cynthia did not hold a grudge against him and shook her head. She could not help feeling a bit guilty when she thought about what had happened when Isabella last visited. She never expected Isabella to play such pranks."Our kids have grown

Leaving might be for the best. Nevertheless, he would be lying if he said he did not want Isabella to be with him, fearing he might hurt her. Yet, when she silently departed, he felt a sense of reluctance.Undoubtedly, this was what he had wanted.In the midst of mixed emotions, Luther entered the meeting room just as he always had, discussing company matters with the top executives. He displayed no loss of composure and did not reveal even the slightest hint of emotion.At two in the afternoon, Isabella arrived at the place she shared with Isaiah. When she found out he had gone to work at the company, she immediately headed for his study. Given her knowledge of Isaiah's habits, he would always conduct his research or work in the study.However, just as if he had foreseen her actions, Isaiah had changed the password to the study. Isabella thought of ways to enter the room, but Isaiah promptly messaged her.[Isaiah: Don't think about looking at the files and then leaving. I've ch
