Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1765
Chapter 1765: 427: Experiment successful, crying and expressing regret! Chapter 1765: 427: Experiment successful, crying and expressing regret! Eva Webster's statement left both Olivia Armstrong and William Astir stunned.
Isla Astir had gone out with Mandel Thompson, and Eva Webster wanted to follow them. What did that mean?
Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Olivia glanced at Eva, her eyes filled with confusion.
Eva wasn't usually like this!
What was going on now?
Olivia frowned unnoticeably.
Without waiting for Isla Astir to speak, Eva looked at Isla again and asked, “Can Isla come?”
Isla responded with a faint smile, her words as tactful as possible, “Second cousin, I'm going out with Brother Thompson to handle some work-related matters.”
Hearing this, Eva sneered internally.
Didn't Isla have any sense?
Whom had Mandel Thompson come for, did she not have a clue in her heart?
Mandel Thompson hadn't even spoken yet, and she was in such a hurry to refuse. What did that mean?
Such a person!
She was the epitome of a hypocrite.
She should look in the mirror and see herself.
It would be strange if Mandel Thompson fancied her kind of little hypocrite.
Eva simply couldn't understand.
Why did such women even exist in the world?
And oddly enough, this kind of woman was her own cousin.
Eva felt a surge of anger building inside her.
She was too embarrassed to ask Mandel directly, so she could only say, “Well, then, we'll go out together next time.”
Isla nodded, “Then we'll be leaving first.”
Mandel Thompson turned and continued to greet the Astir's parents, “Uncle, Aunt, goodbye.”
“Goodbye,” Olivia and William sent them to the entrance of the apartment building.
Eva watched their figures through the floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes brimming with scorn.
Look at William Astir and Olivia Armstrong's couple.
If someone didn't know better, they might think Mandel Thompson was Isla's boyfriend!
Little did they know, even if Isla threw herself at Mandel, he wouldn't spare her a second glance.
Eva bit her lip, eyes full of resentment.
Just wait.
When she and Mandel Thompson cemented their relationship, she would definitely make Isla pay!
At the thought of that time, the expression in Eva's eyes turned to one of smug satisfaction.
A moment later, Olivia and William returned from outside.
Eva deliberately said, “Uncle, Aunt, it seems like Isla and Mr. Thompson are about to tie the knot.”
The higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment.
When Isla fails to cling to the tall branch that was Mandel Thompson, wouldn't her aunt and uncle, who were so eager to see their daughter succeed, be infuriated?
Eva couldn't wait to see the disappointed faces of Olivia and William.
The scene was bound to be quite spectacular.
Upon hearing this, Olivia said, “We're still not at that point, they just went out to discuss a collaboration.”
Eva sneered inside.
Discuss a collaboration?
It was just an excuse for Mandel to see her.
Who knew Isla could be so oblivious to the situation!
She couldn't even distinguish the primary from the secondary!
Eva turned to Olivia and continued, “Aunt, you don't understand, do you? All romances start with a collaboration. Isla is so beautiful, capable, and virtuous. Where could you find such a good girl in today's society?”
Which mother didn't like hearing their daughter praised?
Olivia naturally liked to listen.
And in Olivia's eyes, Isla was indeed very outstanding: filial, sensible, academically successful, capable at work, and beautiful…
Eva added, “So Aunt, just wait and see, I think the two of them are about to have some happy news.”
Happy news was definitely on the way.
But the main character was not Isla Astir.
Eva was curious about what Olivia's expression would be if she found out that she was the main character.
William Astir glanced at Eva without a word.
He couldn't say he liked or disliked his niece Eva.
Eva was shrewd and adept at sizing up others.
When Christina Armstrong was still around, Eva never spoke more than a few courtesy words to her. When they met, it was nothing but pleasantries.
Sensing William's gaze, Eva pressed on, “Uncle, don't you think I'm right?”
William replied, “Matters of fate are predestined. Who can say for sure?”
Eva nodded with a smile, “Uncle, you're right. A match made in heaven is true destiny!”
Only she and Mandel Thompson were meant to be.
Isla was just the other woman.
A delusional home-wrecker!
After speaking, Eva headed back to her room.
Watching Eva's retreating figure, William turned to Olivia and asked in a low voice, “How many days off is Eva taking this time?”
