Chapter 1627: 399: Too high for me!_2 Chapter 1627: 399: Too high for me!_2 Although she looked down on her uncle’s family, Eva Webster still maintained a polite smile and warmly took Sabrina Sabir’s hand, “Auntie, it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other!”

Sabrina Sabir even more adept in sugarcoated flattery, “Eva, you’ve grown more beautiful every time I see you! If we were to meet outside alone, I might not have even recognized you!”

Eva Webster looked towards Christina Armstrong standing aside, “Big cousin is quite beautiful, too.”

Sabrina laughed, “She’s not as beautiful as you!”

As these words fell, Sabrina quickly changed the subject, “Eva, when did you come to Capital City?”

“About a month ago,” Eva Webster replied.

Upon hearing this, Sabrina chastised, “You’ve been in Capital City for so long, why didn’t you come visit your uncle’s place? Do you look down on your uncle?”

In fact, Eva did look down on them.

Sabrina had the nerve to ask such a question!

Their home only had two bedrooms.

Sabrina and her husband in one room, George Armstrong in another, and Christina, their own daughter, had to sleep in the living room.

Where would she sleep if she went?

Share the couch?

She was going to become the wife of a powerful man; how could she possibly sleep in the living room!

It would be beneath her dignity.

But of course, Eva couldn’t say this out loud, “Auntie, don’t be ridiculous. How could I look down on uncle? I was just worried that you and uncle were too busy, and if I came over unannounced, I would be a bother.”

Sabrina laughed, “You think too much, child. If you came to visit, your uncle and I would be thrilled, not bothered! By the way, where are your aunt and cousin? Why haven’t I seen them?”

Eva said, “Auntie and Isla are in the kitchen cooking. I’ll go call them.”

Just as Eva was about to head to the kitchen, Olivia Armstrong walked out from there, surprised to see Sabrina and others, “Rich and noble sister-in-law! You’ve come!”

Olivia then looked toward the kitchen, “Isla, come out, your uncle and auntie are here!”

Upon hearing this, Isla Astir walked out of the kitchen and politely greeted, “Uncle, auntie, you’ve arrived.”

Sabrina nodded with a smile, “Today’s your mother’s birthday, how could we not come?”

Isla then turned to George and Christina, “Big cousin, cousin.”

Christina was very fond of Isla, immediately walked over and took Isla’s hand, smiling, “Isla!”

George always looked down on Isla Astir a little.

After all, having been accepted into “Project 985,” he was not of the same class as Isla anymore.

In his eyes, Isla was no different from a nouveau riche.

Christina’s reason for liking Isla was simple.

Because Isla was the only successful person she could interact with in real life.

Moreover, Isla was a well-known comic author.

Most importantly, in front of Christina, Isla did not put on airs, she was approachable, and showed no impatience with Christina at all.

Isla was different from Eva Webster.

Eva judged others by their social status.

Isla treated everyone the same, without any pretense.

Christina continued, “Isla, several of my colleagues really like the comics you draw!”

“Really?” Isla asked.

Christina nodded, “They even asked if they could get an autographed book from you!”

Isla smiled, “Of course, I’ll give you a few books later.”

“Thank you!”

Eva cast a look at Christina, full of disgust.

Look at Christina acting like she’d never seen the world before.

To the uninitiated, you’d think Isla was some incredible superstar!

Just a small-time comic artist!

What’s so great about that!

Eva rolled her eyes internally several times.

Olivia continued, “Sister-in-law, you and the kids sit for a while. I’m going to cook a few dishes, and we’ll be ready to eat soon.”

After speaking, Olivia turned to Isla, “Isla, call your dad and ask him to come back soon.”

Cooking?

Hearing this, Sabrina squinted her eyes; she certainly hadn’t come today to eat Olivia’s home-cooked meals.

“Sis, no need to fuss! It’s your birthday today, and Isla is a thoughtful child. Let’s go out to eat; how about that hotel we went to last time? I thought the taste there was quite good!”

A hotel where the average bill was a thousand.

Of course, the taste would be good!

Every time they ate there, Sabrina would take lots of pictures, then show off by posting them in her maternal family’s group chat.
