“Aunt and uncle-in-law,” a surprised voice pierced through the air, “Isla! You're here, too!”
Isla Astir turned around, her eyes meeting Sabrina Sabir's face.
She didn't like her aunt-in-law, Sabrina Sabir, very much.
However, their families were relatives, and her mother only had one brother, Edward Armstrong, and his wife. No matter how much she disliked them, she had to act courteously for her mother's sake.
“Aunt.”
Isla Astir greeted politely, “Uncle, cousin, are you out for a stroll too?”
Edward Armstrong nodded with a smile, “Isla.”
George made a perfunctory acknowledgment to his aunt and uncle-in-law.
As for Isla Astir, he acted as if he hadn't seen her.
He was not related by blood to Isla Astir, so he knew exactly what was on her mind, and always kept his distance from her.
He was a product of a prestigious 985 institution.
Isla Astir was only an ordinary university student. The gap between them was too large; there was no common language.
Sabrina Sabir turned to Isla Astir, and continued, “Your uncle and I are just killing time. Have you three eaten? If not, I heard this Riverside Restaurant is excellent. Shall we go and have a bite?”
The Riverside Restaurant not only provided a complete view of the river, but it was also high-end, with an average cost of four to five hundred per person.
Sabrina Sabir wouldn't even dare to imagine going there usually.
After all, her daily salary was just three hundred. Eating there would mean spending over a thousand for a family of four.
Isla Astir knew Sabrina Sabir's liking for making the most out of everything, and since they hadn't eaten yet, she said, “Alright, let's go in and take a look.”
Sabrina Sabir laughed, “Ah, it's good to have money. Look at Isla stomping into such an upscale restaurant without a second thought. How blessed you are!”
Olivia Armstrong was a bit irritated.
She also thought Sabrina Sabir's behavior was unbearably distasteful.
It's not like her daughter's money fell from the sky!
But out of respect for her brother, Olivia swallowed her words, and added, “Now you know how good my Isla is, right? I remember when we took her home, many people were against it.”
The 'many people', of course, included Sabrina Sabir.
Sabrina Sabir laughed, “Who would have thought that Isla would grow up to be so capable?”
If it was known that Isla was going to be so successful, this good fortune would not have fallen into Sabrina Sabir's hands.
And with that, Sabrina Sabir added, “Christina is at home resting today. She hasn't eaten yet! I'll call and ask her to come over.”
After her words, Sabrina Sabir called Christina Armstrong, “Christina, your cousin is treating us to dinner tonight. Come quickly.”
Listening to this, Olivia Armstrong was further inflamed.
Sabrina Sabir was really one to make the most out of everything. Not only freeloading herself but now calling her daughter over as well.
After making the call, Sabrina Sabir held Isla's hand and laughed, “Isla is really something! By the way, have you been talking to your cousin lately? You young people ought to have lots to discuss, right?”
Isla replied, “I've been quite busy recently, often working till three or four in the morning.”
Sabrina Sabir laughed, “You youngsters are all busy. Our George also studies till three or four in the morning. He's preparing for grad school! This child, so ambitious, even considering a Ph.D.! Isla, are you planning to go for grad school or a Ph.D.?”
“We'll see, I'm only a freshman, no rush.” Isla replied.
Although Sabrina Sabir was not highly educated, she knew that Isla was not attending a prestigious university.
An undergraduate from an ordinary school, dreaming of grad school or a Ph.D.?
Impossible!
George also thought Isla was daydreaming.
But he could understand.
He was so outstanding, and Isla, in comparison, was considerably inferior. It was natural for her to feel inferior.
When people feel inferior, they can say anything.
While they were talking, they walked into the restaurant.
A server soon came out to greet them.
Sabrina Sabir immediately stepped forward, speaking as if she were the host, “There are seven of us. We would like a nice room, preferably one with a good view of the river.”
“Sure, no problem,” the server smiled, “The river-view rooms have a minimum charge of three thousand. If that's acceptable, I'll escort you there.”
Sabrina Sabir chirped, “No problem, lead the way!”
After all, Isla was footing the bill.
Isla, for her part, had no objections.
