Chapter 1629: 399: Can’t reach that high!_4 Chapter 1629: 399: Can’t reach that high!_4 Olivia Armstrong said, “Sister-in-law, don’t say that, Christina has her strengths too. She’s down-to-earth and reliable, and she works diligently. Her fortune is yet to come. Besides, George is so impressive, who knows, you might end up living a more comfortable life than me!”
When the topic turned to George Armstrong, a proud smile spread across Sabrina Sabir’s face.
She couldn’t guarantee other things.
But she knew George Armstrong would definitely achieve much more than Isla Astir would.
Isla Astir was merely an ordinary college student, while George Armstrong was a key university’s top scholar.
Such top scholars from key universities were bound to be more capable than students from those no-name universities.
Sabrina looked at George. “George, it’s your aunt’s birthday today, hurry up and toast to your aunt. Wish your aunt a happy birthday.”
George, slightly impatient, picked up his glass and said to Olivia, “Happy birthday.”
As her nephew, George naturally looked down on an aunt who barely knew a few words.
Birds of a feather flock together, after all.
He didn’t want to get too close to these people.
Eva Webster sipped some red wine, glanced at George, then looked at Isla sitting across from her, and continued to speak. “George, do you have a girlfriend yet?”
“No,” George replied.
Eva smiled and said, “I remember you’re a senior this year, right?”
George didn’t say anything.
Although Eva was a graduate of a “Project 985” university, in George’s mind, she had always been a symbol of incompetence.
As a top student from a “Project 985” university, Eva had only managed to become a white-collar worker at a small company. Wasn’t this tarnishing the reputation of “Project 985”?
He thought that’s all Eva would ever amount to in life!
Such a person was not likely to be very successful.
Since she wasn’t going to achieve much, there was no need to try to ingratiate himself with her.
Sabrina nodded and said with a smile, “George is indeed a senior this year. But he’s been busy studying for graduate school entrance exams; how could he have time for dating?”
As she said this, Sabrina paused before adding, “Besides, our George isn’t just any boy. If he’s looking for someone, he’ll definitely find a well-known and good girl.”
The phrase “well-known and good” was used so aptly.
Eva Webster narrowed her eyes and chimed in, “With George being so capable, he must find an excellent girlfriend; otherwise, she won’t be worthy of him.”
“Eva, you’re absolutely right,” Sabrina said with a laugh. “The biggest thing about my George is that he listens well. When it comes to finding a girlfriend, I’ll definitely make sure to screen them properly!”
After dinner,
The whole family went for a walk by the river.
Eva purposely lagged a few steps behind and chatted with Sabrina, “Auntie, has my older cousin found a boyfriend yet?”
Sabrina shook her head, “Not yet!”
Eva said with a smile, “My older cousin is so beautiful, she must find someone from a good background.”
She was doing it on purpose.
With Christina Armstrong’s plain looks, how could she possibly find someone good?
Sabrina looked at Eva and continued, “Actually, our expectations are not high, someone decent will do! By the way, Eva, do you have any single male colleagues to introduce to your cousin? As long as the man is decent-looking, and his salary… well, it can just be the same as yours.”
A salary the same as hers?
She had an annual salary!
And an annual salary of 600,000 dollars at that!
Sabrina was really bold to ask.
Wasn’t she afraid of biting her tongue?
I don’t even know what their total annual family income is!
Eva Webster smiled without joy and continued, “Auntie, you’ve really got it wrong! None of the male colleagues around me are good enough for my eldest cousin! If you ask me, you should go to Isla. Let Isla introduce her to a male comic author! The authors must all be rich. If my eldest cousin could marry a male author, then she would become wealthy! You wouldn’t have to worry about not living a good life!”
Upon hearing this, Sabrina Sabir’s eyes lit up.
Yes!
Eva Webster was right!
Even though Christina Armstrong doesn’t have the talent for drawing comics, she’s pretty, and she could marry someone who does!
Once Christina marries a male author, wouldn’t their family have everything?
Sabrina Sabir squinted her eyes, “Eva, people who’ve been to university really are different, so much smarter than us! When I have time, I’ll definitely talk to Isla about it.”
Eva Webster looked at Sabrina Sabir and went on, “Auntie, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say. I’m afraid you’ll get angry if I say it, but it’s agonizing to keep it inside!”
Eva Webster’s words precisely piqued Sabrina Sabir’s curiosity.
Hearing this, Sabrina Sabir instantly said, “Eva, just say it. Don’t worry, even if it’s wrong, your aunt won’t blame you.”
Eva Webster hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice, “Auntie, since we are all family, I’ll just say it. Actually, I think Isla and George are quite well matched. Although Isla’s education is a bit low, you and Uncle really know her through and through, and besides, Isla knows how to make money. In the future, Isla can certainly be a capable wife for George.”
“The most important thing is, Isla and George aren’t blood-related.”
The best way to hate someone is to destroy her.
If she marries George Armstrong, then Isla Astir’s life would be ruined.
George Armstrong is totally a mama’s boy.
Not much ability but plenty of attitude.
Ever since he got into Capital University, George has acted like he doesn’t know anyone anymore.
Sabrina Sabir narrowed her eyes; even if Eva Webster hadn’t mentioned it, she had already considered this plan.
While Isla Astir’s qualifications were somewhat lacking,
She was truly wealthy!
Especially after hearing that Isla Astir was about to buy a villa.
Just buying any house in the Capital City costs tens of millions!
Not to mention a villa!
Olivia Armstrong and William Astir have only this one daughter, Isla. If Isla marries George, then all of Isla’s money would be hers!
By then,
The property Isla has in the Capital City would be hers.
Isla’s villa would also be hers.
However…
Sabrina Sabir felt a bit unsatisfied; after all, George was the talented student she had cultivated herself. If he really married Isla Astir, it would be a bit unfair to him.
With George’s abilities, he would surely meet better women in the future, maybe even marry a local heiress from the Capital City.
So, she can’t rush this matter.
With this thought, Sabrina Sabir looked at Eva Webster with a smile, “Eva, did your aunt send you to talk to me about this?”
In fact, she had already thoroughly guessed Olivia Armstrong’s intentions.
George was not only Olivia’s own nephew but also a talented student from Capital University. Having such an outstanding son-in-law would be a stroke of luck for Olivia.
So, Olivia couldn’t wait to have Eva Webster talk about this matter.
After all, it would be Isla Astir who would be marrying up if she got with George.
Without waiting for Eva Webster to speak, Sabrina Sabir went on, “But George is still young, we’re not in a rush. You go back and tell your aunt that we can talk about this later, Isla’s education is indeed a bit low.”
