/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1547
Chapter 1547: 383: Hopping Clown_4 Chapter 1547: 383: Hopping Clown_4 Isla Astir had never seen someone change their faces faster than flipping through a book; she was a bit taken aback, before saying, “It's fine, I'm used to it. It's just that I tend to work late into the night. It might disturb your rest!”
Upon hearing this, Eva Webster silently huffed in her mind. Since Isla knows that her work habits affect her rest, why does she continue to work so late?
That must be intentional!
Just wait!
Sooner or later, she would be a legit citizen of Capital City and have Isla cater to her every whim.
Eva Webster kept her smile, “It doesn't bother me at all, you do your work, and I mind my sleep.”
Saying that, she paused for a moment, then continued, “Isla, was that Mr. Thompson who saw you home the other night?”
“Hmm.” Isla simply nodded, and didn't elaborate.
Eva Webster narrowed her eyes, “Isla, are you sure there's nothing special going on between you and Mr. Thompson?”
“Absolutely nothing!” Isla replied.
Eva Webster continued, “That's good, actually. I feel like you're not suited for a guy like him! You're different from me, your aunt, and uncle have only you as their daughter, and they are counting on you for their future! Therefore, you need to find a man who wants a wife with a home.”
Definitely not someone like Mr. Thompson, as he would never agree to a match like that.
As Eva Webster spoke, she kept an eye on Isla's expression and continued, “Furthermore, if you were to be with Mr. Thompson, you'd face a lot of pressure! He is brilliant. I think he's more suited to a cosmopolitan lady – you're just a homebody who doesn't particularly like going out, I doubt you two would have much in common!”
She said all this to caution Isla not to harbor any inappropriate thoughts about Mandel Thompson.
Because Mandel Thompson would never be interested in a woman like Isla!
With a light tone, Isla smiled and said, “Cousin, you might be overthinking things. There's nothing complex between Mr. Thompson and I.”
Hearing this, Eva Webster sighed with relief.
Having missed out on a catch like Mr. White, she couldn't afford to lose Mandel Thompson as well!
She had already done her research on Mandel Thompson.
Mandel Thompson hailed from one of the prestigious families in Capital City and owned two listed companies. At such a young age, he made it to the international wealth rankings – a legitimate diamond catch.
Under normal circumstances, Eva Webster would have no chance to meet someone like him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Isla turned around and went back to her room.
And Eva followed her in.
The person involved with Mandel Thompson at present was Isla. If she wanted to catch his attention, she needed to start with Isla.
Eva diligently poured a glass of water for Isla, “Isla, you must be thirsty from working all day, drink some water.”
“Thank you, cousin.”
Upon hearing this, Eva laughed and said, “We're all family, no need for formalities.”
Isla took a sip of the water.
Internally, Eva deliberated over her choice of words, then continued, “Mr. Thompson truly is a promising young man, he not only comes from a good background but also possesses abilities of his own. How much money did you sell your copyright to him for?”
As Isla was opening her laptop, she replied, “It's roughly market price.”
Roughly market price?
Eva slightly furrowed her brows, she wasn't a part of that circle, how was she supposed to know what the current market price was?
Though now wasn't the time to dwell on such matters, Eva continued: “I had read Mr. Thompson's personal profile in a financial newspaper, it seems like he's still single?”
Shaking her head, Isla said, “I'm not too sure.”
Eva Webster narrowed her eyes and coldly scoffed in her heart.
Having travelled in Mandel's car so many times, how could Isla not know whether or not Mandel was single?
To her, Isla was clearly doing this on purpose.
Isla was afraid that she would snatch Mandel away from her.
This kind of person was truly repulsive.
Mandel, who clearly didn't take a fancy to Isla, yet she still wanted to not let go of him.
Eva laughed and said, “Isla, what do you think about Mr. Thompson's character?”
“I don't know much about him.” Isla did not want to continue with this conversation, “Cousin, I have to start my work now.”
Eva, of course, didn't want to end the conversation just yet, she continued, “Isla, actually, there's something I want to tell you, but…it's a bit embarrassing.”
“What is it?” Isla looked at Eva, “We're not outsiders, you can just say it directly, cousin.”
“Could you promise me first?” Eva took hold of Isla's hand.
