Chapter 1628: 399: Can’t climb that high!_3 Chapter 1628: 399: Can’t climb that high!_3 Isla Astir naturally knew what Sabrina Sabir meant and said with a smile, “Aunt is right, it’s troublesome to cook for so many people. Mom, why don’t we put the food in the fridge and cook it when we come back tonight? Let’s go out for lunch.”

Their family already consisted of four people, and adding her uncle’s family of four, they had to cook for a total of eight people. The kitchen simply couldn’t handle it.

As her daughter, Isla Astir didn’t want to see her mother work too hard either.

Olivia Armstrong felt it was a bit wasteful and began, “Actually…”

But before Olivia could finish, Sabrina Sabir took Olivia’s arm and said, “Let’s go.”

Soon, the party arrived at the Riverside Hotel.

Isla Astir was a regular here.

So as soon as she arrived, she was warmly greeted by the staff.

“Miss Astir, we’ve arranged a room on the third floor with a riverside view for you. Is that okay?”

“Yes,” Isla Astir nodded.

When they reached the third floor and settled into the private room, the waiter brought the menu to Isla Astir.

Sabrina Sabir couldn’t sit still and said, “Waiter, please bring two more menus.”

“Okay.”

After receiving the menu, Sabrina looked at Isla and said, “Isla, it’s your mom’s birthday today, shouldn’t you order some nice dishes?”

“Um,” Isla Astir nodded slightly, “Uncle, Aunt, please feel free to order whatever you like, don’t be shy.”

“Isla is not only good at making money but also has the most filial piety. Among all the cousins, none is like you! Since you’ve said so, I won’t hold back.” Sabrina skillfully opened the menu, “For appetizers, let’s have clam chowder. Waiter, is your clam chowder served in individual pots?”

Eva Webster was speechless.

Especially when she heard Sabrina say that none of them compared to Isla Astir.

She was a top graduate from a prestigious university, a white-collar worker in a foreign trade company. How could she be inferior to Isla Astir?

What was Isla Astir anyway?

In her eyes, Isla Astir was not even worth the hair on her head.

Sabrina was disgusting too, saying anything to butter up Isla Astir!

“Yes,” the waiter nodded.

“Then one pot for each person,” Sabrina continued, “And get a king crab, make it ten pounds. Also, an Australian lobster, we don’t need a very big one, five or six pounds will do, and one coral grouper. Abalone, one for each person. And this…”

Sabrina ordered more than twenty dishes in one breath.

Olivia’s brow furrowed slightly, then she said, “Won’t we waste food if we order so much? How about this, we can order more if it’s not enough. It’s wasteful if we can’t finish it!”

Sabrina said with a smile, “Sis, don’t worry, we’ll definitely finish it. That king crab and lobster are mostly shells; they barely have any weight. Waiter, add a ‘The Overlord Parts Ways’ as well! Okay, that will be all for now.”

With that, Sabrina closed the menu.

Olivia didn’t know what else to say, but she felt somewhat uneasy. Although Isla Astir was not short of money, it didn’t just blow in with the wind.

She worked hard every night until midnight!

Sometimes even pulling all-nighters.

As a mother, she saw everything and it pained her heart.

Indeed, a mother’s concern is deep for her child.

Eva Webster gave Sabrina a look.

Thank goodness there were no outsiders present.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing!

Just look at Sabrina, acting like she’s never had nice things before.

Unbelievable!

Clearly, she was someone who couldn’t make a good impression.

Soon, dishes were served one after another. Sabrina picked up her glass and said to Olivia, “Sis, happy birthday.”

At this moment, Olivia also stood up and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

Sabrina continued, “Sis, of the three sisters, you’re now the most blessed. You’ve raised such a capable daughter like Isla. Unlike at our home, Christina can work in the factory for a lifetime and probably won’t make as much in a month as Isla does. I heard from Christina that Isla is going to sell the rights to something again soon.”

Sabrina was genuinely envious of Olivia.

In the past, Olivia was the least successful of the three sisters, toiling from dawn to dusk. Who could have imagined that Olivia would live the life of a city dweller?

Eva had the urge to stand up and energetically argue with her oblivious aunt.

What did she mean by Olivia being the most blessed of the three sisters?

What did she mean by Olivia having a capable daughter?

Was she not capable?

In what way was she inferior to Isla Astir?

The more Eva thought about it, the more irritated she became, but she still tried her best to keep a smile and not let anyone notice anything amiss.
