Chapter 1609: 295: Extremely proud! Chapter 1609: 295: Extremely proud! Eligible bachelor?

Hearing this, Isla Astir was momentarily stunned.

She really didn’t know of any eligible bachelors around her.

Just then, Isla Astir seemed to think of something and looked at Eva Webster, “Cousin Eva, are you talking about my editor, Woodz?”

Last time, Woodz had come to Isla Astir’s house to look for her, and Eva Webbser had seen him.

Speaking of which, Woodz truly was an eligible bachelor.

28 years old, unmarried.

A local from Capital City.

But…

It was widely known that the locals from Capital City had very high standards.

It was just uncertain whether Woodz would be interested in Eva Webster.

Especially since Woodz’s family wasn’t doing badly at all.

His family was a household that had benefited from urban redevelopment, owning a dozen properties.

Hearing this, Eva Webster’s face was filled with an incredulous expression.

Woodz? What was he?

Just a minor editor.

Even if he was a local from Capital City, so what?

Locals from Capital City still couldn’t compare to the well-off Mandel Thompson!

Mandel Thompson was the legitimate eldest son of the Thompson Clan!

With such a fine specimen before her, Eva Webster certainly wouldn’t settle for a little editor with nothing to his name.

Eva Webster hid her thoughts well and said with a smile, “It’s not Woodz.”

Not Woodz?

On hearing this, Isla Astir slightly furrowed her brows.

If not Woodz, then who?

Her social circle was quite small; apart from editors and classmates, there weren’t many people.

Isla Astir really couldn’t figure out who Eva Webster might have set her sights on.

“Cousin Eva, then who are you talking about?”

At this, Eva Webster let out a light laugh, “Isla, you’re so clever, how could you not guess?”

In fact, Isla Astir had already guessed.

She was just pretending!

Because Isla Astir had her heart set on Mandel Thompson as well, hoping to marry into a higher social status.

Such people were truly disgusting.

Isla Astir shook her head, “I genuinely can’t guess.”

Seeing that Isla Astir was pretending not to know, Eva Webster had to come outright and say, “It’s Mandel Thompson.”

Hearing this answer, Isla Astir was completely dumbfounded.

She had never imagined that Eva Webster actually wanted her to introduce Mandel Thompson to her?

What a joke!

Her cousin really had no low aim.

Seeing Isla Astir remaining silent, Eva Webster continued, “Isla, please, I’m begging you. Help your cousin out! I’ve fallen for him a long time ago. You just don’t understand that kind of feeling. If I can’t marry him in this lifetime, I’d rather stay single forever!”

Eva Webster wasn’t joking with this statement.

But it did have a threatening tone.

She was threatening Isla Astir, implying that if Isla Astir didn’t help her get together with Mandel Thompson, then she would choose to remain single forever.

In that case, all the blame would fall on Isla Astir!

Isla Astir frowned subtly, then looked at Eva Webster before speaking, “Cousin Eva, I think you might be overestimating my relationship with Brother Thompson.”

“My relationship with Brother Thompson, to put it nicely, is that of mere acquaintances, or to put it bluntly, that of a client and a service provider. I simply have no place to introduce him to a girlfriend. You should ask someone else for this favor. I really can’t be of help!”

To ask her to bring up this matter to Mandel Thompson?

Wasn’t that the equivalent of putting her on a spit over open flames?

Eva Webster thought that by being straightforward, Isla Astir would agree out of courtesy.

But Isla Astir wasn’t giving any face at all!

She had been outright rejected!

Eva Webster kept her composure, still smiling, “Isla, you’re being too modest. You and Mr. Thompson are clearly very good friends! It’s natural for friends to introduce him to a girlfriend, isn’t it? Plus, as the old saying goes, ‘matchmaking adds ten years to your life.’ For you, it’s also a good deed!”

Having said this, Eva Webster added, “And I really do like Mr. Thompson! In this lifetime, it has to be him or no one else!”

Isla Astir looked at Eva Webster, “Cousin Eva, do you think you truly understand Brother Thompson?”

Eva Webster had only met Mandel Thompson a few times, hardly enough to speak of deep-seated affection.

In other words, if Mandel Thompson had nothing, would Eva Webster still like him?

Not at all.

What Eva Webster liked wasn’t the person Mandel Thompson.

But his power and status.

That was all.

Eva Webster countered with a question, “Isla, don’t you know there’s a saying in this world called ‘love at first sight’?”

She had fallen for Mandel Thompson at first sight.

Isla Astir was just too repulsive. Not only was she unable to marry Mandel Thompson herself, but now she also wanted to stop her from marrying him.

Talking about being family, being sisters, huh?

Is there another sister in the world like Isla Astir?
