Chapter 1722: 418: Already a turtle in a jar!_3 Chapter 1722: 418: Already a turtle in a jar!_3 Isla was still somewhat puzzled.

She had never heard about George Armstrong developing software…

“Isla, how old is your cousin this year?” her roommate Abigail asked.

Isla smiled and turned around, “He’s two years older than me.”

“Two years older,” another roommate, Charlotte Thompson, immediately chimed in, “So he’s still in college?”

“Senior year.” Isla responded.

Upon hearing this, all three roommates were very surprised, exclaiming in unison, “Your cousin is really amazing, he can buy a Mercedes while still in college!”

Isla was usually very low-key, to the point that even her roommates didn’t know she had achieved financial independence, let alone knowing she was a well-known author on a comic website.

“What’s your cousin’s name and at which university is he?”

Isla told the truth, “His name is George Armstrong, at Capital University.”

“No wonder he’s so impressive! Capital University is literally a student’s dream!”

“I’m different, my dream school was Capital University.”

The roommates began discussing their dream schools back in their student days.

Abigail looked at Isla, “Isla, which school did you want to attend the most when you were a student?”

“Capital University,” Isla answered.

Unfortunately.

She didn’t end up getting into her dream school.

“We share the same dream.”

Vanessa brought the topic back to George Armstrong, “Isla, your cousin is so incredible, how come you never mentioned him before?”

Isla spoke indifferently, “He’s quite low-key usually, I didn’t even know he bought a car.”

For some reason, Isla always felt that George Armstrong buying a car wasn’t that simple.

What exactly happened to their family?

After the meal with her roommates, Isla went home and talked to her parents about it.

William Astir didn’t say much.

It was his wife’s family matter, and he didn’t think it was appropriate to interfere.

Olivia Armstrong also found it strange, “Isla, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

Isla said with a smile, “I even talked to my cousin, how could I be mistaken?”

After saying this, Isla added, “But my cousin said he earned the money for the car by developing software.”

“Impossible!” Olivia Armstrong stated emphatically, “Knowing your aunt’s character, if George really was that impressive and could buy a car by developing software, she would have been bragging about it already, she wouldn’t be this calm!”

Being low-key was not Sabrina Sabir’s style.

William Astir, who had been silent up until then, nodded with a smile, “I think your mother is quite right!”

After a pause, William Astir continued, “However, it’s also possible that George is the low-key one, and he never mentioned this to his parents.”

If George Armstrong didn’t say anything, Sabrina Sabir naturally wouldn’t have the chance to boast.

Olivia Armstrong frowned subtly.

She knew her nephew well; George Armstrong indeed had some capability, but he was very proud, in some aspects, just like Sabrina Sabir.

Being low-key was not George Armstrong’s style.

Like Isla, Olivia also felt that there was something fishy about the car purchase.

William Astir went on, “George is attending a top-tier 985 university, a premier institution in the country; it’s normal for him to be able to develop software. You two should stop overthinking!”

Olivia Armstrong couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to William Astir and looked at Isla, “Isla, are you free tomorrow? If you are, come with me to your uncle’s place.”

She wanted to see what was really going on!

“Sure,” Isla nodded.

The next morning, Olivia and Isla arrived at the Armstrong Clan.

Coincidentally, Sabrina Sabir and Christina were not at home.

Edward Armstrong was sitting on the sofa watching TV, no longer showing the distressed expression that he had when he was scammed of eight hundred thousand.

“Uncle, hello,” Isla greeted politely.

“Isla is here,” Edward Armstrong stood up from the sofa, “Sis, take a seat.”

Olivia sat on the sofa.

Edward Armstrong took the gifts from Isla’s hands and smiled, “Sis, you shouldn’t have brought so much stuff when you come over.”

The Armstrong home was indeed different now!

Olivia’s gaze swept around Inside the Hall then asked, “Where’s your wife and child?”

Edward Armstrong said with a smile, “Sabrina and Christina went shopping.”

Shopping?

Sabrina Sabir took Christina shopping?

That really was out of the ordinary!

Olivia Armstrong narrowed her eyes then continued, “Edward, tell me the truth, did something happen in your family recently?”

“Nothing,” Edward Armstrong said, scratching his head, “If I really had to say, it’s that George has become successful, working on some software and even bought a car!”
