Chapter 1610: 295: Extremely proud!_2 Chapter 1610: 295: Extremely proud!_2 “I’m not afraid of being ridiculed if I speak out!”

Eva Webster grabbed Isla Astir’s sleeve, pleading, “Isla, please help me out.”

“Second cousin, I’m sorry, but I really can’t help you.”

Looking at Isla Astir’s face, Eva Webster felt an urge to slap her.

But reason told her she shouldn’t.

She couldn’t do that.

“Why not?” Eva continued to ask.

Isla Astir looked helpless, “Second cousin, I already told you the specific reason, I’m not qualified to introduce anyone to Brother Thompson.”

Eva Webster pouted, still grabbing Isla Astir’s sleeve and continued to plead, “Isla…”

Isla Astir was speechless and could only continue to decline.

Just then, Astir’s parents walked in from outside.

Seeing the scene, Mrs. Astir smiled and asked, “What are the two of you sisters up to?”

Eva Webster looked back at Mrs. Astir, “Auntie, I’m asking Isla for a favor.”

Asking Isla for a favor.

These words even made Mrs. Astir pause.

Her niece had always been so proud, never bowing her head to anyone.

It truly was like the sun rising from the west today!

She had actually spoken of asking Isla for help.

Seeing Mrs. Astir, Eva felt as if she had found a pillar of support and continued, “Auntie, I have little sway, and I can’t persuade Isla. You have more influence, please help me speak to her!”

Mrs. Astir knew her daughter well, whom she had brought up herself.

The child always knew her limits.

She only did things within her capabilities.

Surely, Eva’s request must be too difficult!

Naturally, Mrs. Astir wouldn’t trouble her daughter and laughed, “Eva, what could you possibly need to ask of our Isla, who is a high talent graduate from a famous university?”

In other words, if you can’t handle it, Isla certainly can’t either.

Hearing this, Eva Webster rolled her eyes in frustration.

Did her aunt not realize what was going on?

She was the one with a blood relation, but Olivia Armstrong?

Olivia was siding with an outsider they had picked up!

Unbelievable, mixing kin and non-kin!

Such a person, no wonder she couldn’t have children of her own.

It was karma.

Served her right to be alone for life!

Eva Webster suppressed her rage and continued, “Auntie, Isla is far more capable than me now! I may have graduated from ‘Project 985,’ but my earnings are not even half of Isla’s!”

Yes!

Isla was inferior to her in every way.

But Isla had better luck.

Unlike her, who struggled to get into Famous 985 University, she ultimately couldn’t even compare to an ordinary undergraduate.

Wasn’t that laughable?

Eva Webster continued, “Auntie, to tell you the truth, Isla truly is the only one who can help me.”

Isla spoke up honestly, “Second cousin, I really can’t help.”

Mrs. Astir immediately changed the topic with a smile, “Eva, Isla, I bought a big watermelon, along with some bananas and wax apples. What would you like to eat, I’ll go wash them.”

Isla Astir said, “Mom, I’m going to draw comics. The editor is rushing me.”

Mrs. Astir nodded, “Go ahead, I’ll bring the fruit to your study later.”

Isla Astir headed to the study.

Watching Isla’s retreating figure, Eva Webster’s eyes seemed filled with venom, fiercely sinister.

If looks could kill, Isla Astir would have died hundreds of times over.

Mrs. Astir looked at Eva and then asked, “Eva, what do you want to eat?”

Eva Webster forced a stiff smile, “Thank you, Auntie, but I don’t have an appetite.”

Right now, just seeing this pretentious aunt made her want to vomit!

Just like Isla Astir.

Disgusting.

With that said, Eva Webster turned and walked back into the house.

Watching Eva go back inside, Mrs. Astir brought the prepared fruit platter to the study.

Isla Astir was furiously typing at the computer.

Seeing her mother enter, she said without lifting her head, “Mom.”

“Ah,” Mrs. Astir nodded with a smile, placed the fruit platter in front of Isla Astir, and lowered her voice, “What was Eva asking you for earlier?”

Seeing Eva’s reaction, Mrs. Astir was quite curious.

Isla put down her work, and succinctly explained the situation to her mother.

Upon hearing, Mrs. Astir’s eyes widened in disbelief and asked, “Did Eva really say that?”

“Mhm,” Isla Astir nodded.

Mrs. Astir continued, “You did the right thing. Who is Mr. Thompson, and who are we? Eva really is too ambitious, always aiming too high for her reach!”
