Chapter 1608: 394: Really shameless! _5 Chapter 1608: 394: Really shameless! _5 Upon hearing that, Viola Thompson immediately jogged over.

“Big brother!”

Mandel Thompson took the suitcase from Viola’s hands, then asked, “Was your trip back smooth?”

Viola nodded slightly, “Very smooth.”

“That’s good,” Mandel Thompson said as he pulled the suitcase along, “Little sister, I heard that Terrence Lentz and his two brothers have split up?”

“Yes.”

Mandel Thompson narrowed his eyes, “It’s better that they split.”

Bartley Lentz and Len Lentz were not easy people to deal with.

Viola couldn’t be bothered to deal with those tedious matters.

It was better to split now rather than after Viola married Terrence Lentz.

The siblings, who hadn’t seen each other for many days, chatted as they walked.

Mandel Thompson had driven there himself.

As they got in the car, Mandel Thompson took out the Milk Tea he had prepared earlier.

Seeing the Milk Tea, Viola’s eyes immediately lit up, “Thank you, big brother!”

After taking a sip of the Milk Tea, Viola leaned back comfortably in her seat.

At that moment, Mandel Thompson suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Screech!

Then, he rolled down the window and looked outside, “Isla, get in.”

Hearing Mandel Thompson’s voice, Isla Astir was initially stunned, then looked up, somewhat surprised, “Brother Thompson.”

Viola, who was resting, opened her eyes at the sound and saw Isla Astir again. Her eyes curved in a smile as she voluntarily rolled down the passenger-side window, “Sister Isla.”

“Miss Thompson!” Seeing who it was, Isla Astir’s eyes widened.

Viola smiled and said, “Sister Isla, get in the car. Otherwise, we might get stuck in traffic.”

Isla Astir then opened the back door and got into the car.

Mandel Thompson drove off, and Viola glanced back at Isla Astir, “Sister Isla, where are you going?”

“I’m going home.”

Mandel Thompson immediately knew the direction.

Isla Astir’s home was not far from there.

About ten minutes later, they stopped in front of an apartment building.

Viola subtly narrowed her eyes.

It seemed…

Mandel Thompson was quite familiar with Isla Astir.

Viola got out of the car and walked Isla Astir home.

“Sister Isla, come visit us when you’re free.”

Faced with Viola’s warm invitation, Isla Astir was pleasantly shocked, for after all, this was her idol!

Isla Astir nodded, “Okay.”

It was then that Mandel Thompson also got out of the car.

Isla Astir continued, “Miss Thompson, you and Brother Thompson should come in for some tea.”

Viola tactfully declined, “Sister Isla, I just got back from the airport, and I’m in a bit of a rush. Maybe next time, I will definitely visit you then.”

“Let’s agree on that.”

“Mhm.”

The three of them exchanged a few more words, then said goodbye to each other.

As Viola and Mandel Thompson were getting into the car, Eva Webster came from the other side.

She just happened to see Mandel Thompson closing the car door for Viola.

Who is this young girl?

Eva Webster narrowed her eyes.

Mandel Thompson’s secretary?

Definitely up to no good!

Some secretaries think too highly of themselves, weak yet fantasizing about wearing the princess’s glass slippers.

Mandel Thompson’s secretary, looking this good, must surely harbor such thoughts.

Such shameless people.

She couldn’t let Mandel Thompson be deceived by such a woman.

Eva Webster picked up her pace, intending to catch up with Mandel Thompson and say a few words.

But Mandel Thompson’s car was just too fast.

By the time Eva Webster caught up, the car had already driven far away.

Eva Webster stomped her foot in frustration.

So close.

It was just a little bit close.

Though Eva Webster was very angry, she was helpless and turned to walk into the apartment building.

The door was open.

Eva Webster walked in, changed into slippers, and looked at Isla Astir, “Isla, did Mr. Thompson come by just now?”

“Yes,” Isla Astir nodded.

Eva Webster looked at Isla Astir, narrowing her eyes, “Isla, do you like Mr. Thompson?”

“Why would you ask that?” responded Isla Astir.

Eva Webster continued, “I just felt that the way you look at Mr. Thompson is different. Isla, I’m your cousin, and from the bottom of my heart, you’re just not from the same world as Mr. Thompson. You say your aunt and uncle brought you up with such difficulty, shouldn’t you properly take care of them?”

Pausing, Eva Webster added, “You can’t be like those heartless girls who, once married, just leave their parents behind without a second thought. Someone like you should find a more honest boyfriend, let him be our male relative by marriage, and together take care of your aunt and uncle.”

Only a man with no prospects would become that kind of relative by marriage.

And Isla Astir could only match with such a man with no prospects!

Mandel Thompson was the legitimate eldest son of the Thompson family in Capital City, and he was destined to inherit the family business; how could he possibly be content with being a relative by marriage?

It was nothing but delusional thinking.

Isla Astir looked at Eva Webster and responded with a faint smile, “I have my own plans for life. You don’t need to worry, cousin.”

Eva Webster narrowed her eyes and continued, “Isla, are you upset because I’m being too talkative? Tell me, if we weren’t close sisters, would I talk to you like this? I’m only saying this for your own good.”

Actually, she just didn’t want to see Isla Astir doing better than herself.

“Then I thank you, cousin,” Isla Astir’s tone remained calm.

Eva Webster continued, “They say good medicine tastes bitter, and truthful words are unpleasant to hear. You must really take my words to heart.”

Isla Astir maintained a polite smile.

Eva Webster watched Isla Astir’s reaction and scoffed in her heart.

Isla Astir couldn’t possibly think she still had a chance with Mandel Thompson?

What a huge joke!

Mandel Thompson would never be interested in a woman like Isla Astir!

Isla Astir was way out of her league.

Eva Webster shifted the conversation, “Isla, actually I’m sometimes envious of you, young, beautiful, and earning your own money. If I were you, life would be so good. Look at me now, accomplishing nothing, not even a boyfriend. Isla, if you know any suitable young men, remember to introduce them to me.”

“Okay,” Isla Astir nodded lightly.

“Isla, let’s agree on that.”

“Yes,” continued Isla Astir, “if there’s someone suitable, I definitely won’t forget my cousin.”

Eva Webster narrowed her eyes, internally weighing her words, then said, “Isla, actually there’s already a suitable young man right around you.”
