Chapter 1723: 418: Already a turtle in a jar!_4 Chapter 1723: 418: Already a turtle in a jar!_4 Sabrina Sabir greeted everyone but couldn’t let the relatives know about Christina Armstrong and Peter Stone’s situation yet.

Everything can be discussed after the wedding is over.

That way, these people won’t cause trouble.

Olivia Armstrong stared into Edward Armstrong’s eyes, “Really?”

His eyes made Edward Armstrong feel somewhat guilty, but as soon as he thought of Sabrina Sabir’s words, he felt assured.

Christina was his daughter.

Without them, there would be no Christina, and as children, they naturally should repay their parents’ kindness.

Edward Armstrong nodded, “Of course, it’s true! Sis, tell me, have I ever lied to you from childhood till now?”

Actually, he hadn’t.

In Olivia Armstrong’s heart, Edward Armstrong had always been an honest and straightforward man; it was just unfortunate that he had poor judgment in choosing a wife. Otherwise, the Armstrong Clan would never be in its current state.

Olivia spoke earnestly, “Edward, one wrong step leads to another. If you’re facing any difficulties, just tell me. I’ll do everything I can! Our father has never done anything despicable in his life, and we must not get involved in any illegal activities like stealing or breaking the law!”

If they engaged in illegal activities now, it might even affect future generations’ opportunities in exams and public service.

Edward Armstrong smiled and nodded, “Sis, don’t worry, I know all that. I can guarantee with my character that I will never engage in any stealing or wrongdoing!”

“Good.” Olivia continued, “Since you haven’t done anything illegal, then tell me, what is going on with George’s car exactly?”

Upon hearing this, Edward Armstrong was speechless.

It seemed his wife was right.

Olivia simply looked down on him.

If Olivia respected him as her brother, she wouldn’t keep questioning the origins of this money.

Did she really think so little of her own brother?

Edward Armstrong said somewhat impatiently, “Sis, how many more times do you want me to say it? Do you really think so poorly of George, a graduate of a prestigious university? Even your daughter Isla can afford to buy a car and a house in Capital City, so why can’t our George?”

George’s university was more than ten times better than Isla Astir’s.

Why didn’t Olivia suspect Isla Astir’s money came from an improper source?

That’s ridiculous!

Upon hearing this, Wennie slightly furrowed her brow, wanting to say something but ultimately didn’t speak.

What was the point in her forcibly interrupting a conversation between two elders?

Olivia continued, “My Isla has always loved drawing comics since she was young. Edward, if you have done something shady, I advise you to turn back now. If not, then that’s even better!”

At that, Olivia turned to Wennie, “Isla, let’s go.”

Wennie stood up.

Olivia grabbed her purse and turned to leave.

Walking out of the building, Wennie looked back and whispered, “Mom, are we just leaving like this?”

Olivia’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, “I’ve said all I could, good and bad. If they don’t appreciate it, what more can I do? Forget it! From now on, I’ll stay out of their business and we’ll just focus on our own lives!”

There’s an old saying about sweeping the snow from your own doorstep.

Interfering too much can only bring resentment.

Wennie sighed lightly, stepping forward and gently holding her mother’s arm, speaking softly, “Actually, I think our cousin Christina has it tough.”

Olivia also sighed, “I feel for the kid too.”

As she spoke, Olivia continued, “How about this, Isla, when you go back, see if you can invite Christina to our house for dinner tonight. We can eat and talk.”

It might be possible to learn something from Christina Armstrong.

Wennie was supposed to meet with an editor at seven o’clock tonight to discuss the adaptation of her next comic, but thinking Christina’s situation was more urgent, she nodded, “Okay, Mom.”

After returning, Wennie sent a message to Christina Armstrong.

Christina replied ten minutes later.

“Sure.”

Upon receiving Christina’s response, Wennie went to tell her mother.

Olivia nodded, “Good, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some groceries now. I remember Christina likes roast chicken the most.”

“Mm.”

Olivia prepared a whole table of dishes.

At 5:30 in the evening, Christina arrived.

Compared to a few days ago, Christina seemed like a different person, her black hair now a chestnut-colored curl, making her appear effortlessly mature.

Olivia smiled and said, “Christina, when did you get your hair done?”

“Just today,” Christina answered.

“Today?” Olivia was surprised, “Did your mom go with you?”
