So, all George could do now was to follow his mother’s arrangements.

Apart from that,

he had no other choice.

If anyone should be blamed, it was Christina herself for not being good enough.

If only she had tried a little harder, been a little better, attended a good university, obtained a more impressive degree, she wouldn’t have ended up where she was today.

“Do whatever you want,” George said.

Seeing her son like this, Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Then come eat with me. Humans are iron and food is steel, going without a meal will leave you starving.”

George followed in Sabrina’s footsteps.

They went to the living room.

Seeing that George was willing to come out to eat, Edward immediately went to the kitchen to serve him some food.

In this home,

it wasn’t just Sabrina who doted on George to the skies, but Edward as well.

In their eyes,

a son could carry on the family lineage.

A daughter?

She was just water spilled out.

After a hundred years, she would enter someone else’s family tomb.

Therefore, no one cared about Christina’s feelings.

She had always been a dispensable person.

Just as they were eating, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Christina went to open it.

The door opened, and it was not someone else but Isla Astir.

Seeing Isla Astir, Christina’s face immediately bloomed with a smile, “Isla!”

“Big cousin.”

Christina pulled Isla Astir’s hand, “Isla, come in quick! Have you eaten? We were just having our meal!”

Isla Astir said with a smile, “I have already eaten. My parents went to Rocky Mountain for two days and brought back some local specialties for me to give to Uncle and Aunt.”

Just then, Sabrina came out smiling, “Oh Isla! Come in and sit! You said your parents, why bother to be so polite? Bringing all these things from so far. What can’t we buy here in Capital City?”

The underlying message was, just giving money would have been fine!

Was all this trouble necessary?

William Astir and Olivia Armstrong were just too stingy!

Isla Astir pretended not to catch the hint in Sabrina’s words and continued, “Aunt, I still have friends waiting downstairs for me! I won’t sit, I have to go now.”

Sabrina looked out the window and indeed saw a black car parked outside, with a man standing beside it.

Who was that?

Sabrina squinted her eyes subtly, “Isla, if you don’t mind, invite your friend to come up and sit as well!”

“Thank you, Aunt, but we still have other things to do.”

With that, Isla Astir put down the things and left.

Edward watched Isla Astir leaving, somewhat helplessly said, “This kid, why run so fast?”

Christina opened the gifts Isla Astir had brought over, expressing great surprise, “Oh my! There’s saffron and cordyceps! My aunt and uncle must have spent quite a bit of money this time.”

Hearing this, Sabrina immediately said, “Really? Where is the cordyceps?”

Christina handed the cordyceps to Sabrina.

Sabrina took the cordyceps and narrowed her eyes, “Your aunt is trying to please us!”

Christina, puzzled, said, “Pleasing for what?”

Given Olivia’s current situation, she didn’t need to please anyone.

Sabrina continued, “Your aunt has always wanted Isla to marry your brother! By sending such valuable things this time, she definitely wants us to agree to this! Did you not see? Isla glanced over at George several times just now!”

At the end, Sabrina concluded, “Isla must really like your brother!”

Because she liked him, she even thought of marrying into the family at a loss.

Thinking this, Sabrina suddenly felt that being cheated out of eight hundred thousand was not a big deal at all.

After all, his son was so outstanding!

Hearing this, George Armstrong, sitting at the inner table, showed a look of disgust on his face.

He didn’t think much of Isla Astir.

Although Isla was fairly good-looking, her family background was too ordinary, and aside from drawing comics, she was practically useless.

She was simply not a match for him.

He didn’t know what Isla was thinking to even consider throwing herself at him!

Although he wasn’t on par with Isla right now, his future held limitless possibilities.

As for Isla’s future, one could see what it held at a glance.

Although Christina Armstrong was quite afraid of Olivia Armstrong, she still plucked up the courage to say, “It–it shouldn’t be! Mom, didn’t you see? A man just brought Isla here.”

And the man who brought Isla drove a Cayenne.

A ten million Cayenne, for their family, was astronomical.

If Christina Armstrong wasn’t mistaken, the person who brought Isla must have been Mr. Thompson from last time.

Thinking of Mandel Thompson’s refined and cultured appearance, Christina felt that Isla and he were a perfect match.

“Do you know why she had a man bring her?” Sabrina Sabir continued to ask.

“Why?” Christina asked.

“She’s playing hard to get, don’t you understand?” Sabrina laughed, “Isla wants your brother to know a man brought her and make him jealous!”

Christina was speechless.

She thought Sabrina’s thinking was flawed.

Any clear-sighted person knew Isla wouldn’t fancy George.

Yet, she was trapped in her own dreams, unable to extricate herself.

George was also speechless.

He felt bewildered by Isla.

He didn’t like Isla at all, so how could he be jealous?

It was just adorably stupid!

A moment later, Sabrina turned to George and instructed, “George, you must hold yourself back. Isla may have some money now, but her job is ultimately unstable, without even insurance! Also, her education and family background don’t match yours! Your aunt and your uncle-in-law are just lifelong farmers! If you get involved with her, she will definitely hold you back!”

George was well aware of this without Sabrina saying it.

So he wouldn’t waste his time on someone like Isla.

It was all because he was too charming that Isla had taken a liking to him.

But that seemed normal.

Not only was his academic background impressive, but he was also quite handsome, a real face-saver to bring along.

Isla’s education wasn’t high, and his just happened to satisfy her vanity.

Hearing this, Edward Armstrong wanted to say Isla was actually not bad, but he didn’t dare.

After all, it was true that George was outstanding.

And his fear of his wife was real, too.

Watching her mother and brother, Christina felt a mixture of emotions. She took out her phone and sent Isla a message, “Isla, you should come to my house less from now on.”

Isla treated her like a big sister, and she considered Isla her best younger sister.

She didn’t want to see Isla being talked about behind her back by her mother.

“Big cousin, did something happen?” Isla replied.

Christina didn’t know how to explain and continued, “My mom and George have too much imagination, it’s better for you to visit less.”

After sending the message, Christina sent another, “Let’s talk in detail when we find the time.”

“Okay,” Isla replied, “Big cousin, when you’re off, we can go shopping together.”

“Sure.” Christina, with a smile on her face, began to look forward to that day off.

Country Polluton.

Rarely did Viola Thompson and Terrence Lentz both have time this year, so they went shopping, ate, and watched movies together.

The two walked hand in hand through the foreign streets with character, becoming the most beautiful scenery without even trying.

“Miss Alice, that over there is Viola Thompson.”

Not far away, two figures stopped; one of them pointed in Viola’s direction.

Alice took off her sunglasses and looked towards Viola, her eyes narrowing slightly, “Is she the one who stole my ‘Human Angel’?”
