Chapter 1764: 426: Guarantee with my life!_5 Chapter 1764: 426: Guarantee with my life!_5 This was clearly sarcastic.

Unfortunately,

Olivia Armstrong couldn’t detect the sarcasm in Eva Webster’s words, and she continued, “Actually, I quite like Mr. Thompson, but I heard that the Thompson Clan are big shots in the Capital City, people like them must have high standards, right? I just don’t know if the two of them will end up together!”

The mocking expression in Eva Webster’s eyes was almost impossible to hide, as she responded, “Auntie, listen to what you’re saying. Although the Thompson Clan are big shots in the Capital City, Isla is no ordinary girl. What right does the Thompson family have to look down on her? You really shouldn’t worry so much, just relax and enjoy the prosperity Isla brings in the future.”

The Thompson family liking Isla Astir, now that would be a sight!

As if the doors to a wealthy family were that easy to enter,

even someone like her, with such an impressive education and job, worried about meeting the Thompson Family’s standards.

After all, the Thompsons mingled with the true blue bloods.

The Thompson Clan had three sons and one daughter.

Each more outstanding than the last!

People like them wouldn’t allow the Thompson family’s eldest brother’s wife to be just anybody.

Olivia Armstrong looked at Eva Webster, “Then I will take your auspicious words to heart.”

As a mother, Olivia Armstrong, more than anyone else, hoped Eva Webster would find a good husband.

Eva Webster scoffed internally.

That evening, when Isla Astir came back from outside, Eva Webster deliberately asked, “Isla, I heard you had dinner with Mr. Thompson tonight?”

Isla Astir nodded, “We were discussing a collaboration.”

Seeing how Isla Astir could lie so naturally without batting an eyelid, Eva Webster almost laughed. Could anyone else in the world have such thick skin?

Speaking lies as if they were nothing.

Eva Webster didn’t inquire any further.

The next morning.

When Eva Webster woke up, Isla Astir had already gotten out of bed.

Eva Webster was stunned for a moment.

Isla Astir had been working on her drafts till late at night, so how could she be up this early?

Eva Webster walked to the living room in her pajamas.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she froze.

She saw Brandon Thompson, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sitting on the living room couch.

The sunlight streaming in through the window coated him in a golden glow.

A man in his early thirties.

Successful, rich, handsome, and brimming with charm that made him absolutely irresistible.

The moment Eva Webster saw Brandon Thompson, she was stunned, but she quickly collected herself and ran back to her room.

It was intentional!

Isla Astir did it on purpose.

Isla Astir knew Brandon Thompson was coming over this morning, but she deliberately didn’t wake her up, letting her meet him looking disheveled!

The more Eva Webster thought about it, the angrier she became.

Especially when seeing Isla Astir’s delicate features.

Such a calculating person!

But clearly, Brandon Thompson was here to see her.

How could there be women like Isla Astir in the world?

She’d be struck by lightning sooner or later.

Eva Webster tried to calm herself, quickly washed up, changed clothes, and applied a natural makeup.

Luckily, these were all tasks Eva Webster did every day, so she managed them quite quickly.

Half an hour later, Eva Webster, all dressed up, returned to the living room.

When she entered, only William Astir and Brandon Thompson were there.

Both were sitting on the couch.

The atmosphere was unavoidably awkward.

William Astir also realized this issue and looked at Brandon Thompson, then began, “Mr. Thompson, I heard you’re originally from the Capital City?”

“Uncle, you can call me Thompson.” Brandon Thompson continued, “I am a local of the Capital City.”

“How many people are there in your family?” William Astir asked next.

He, like Olivia Armstrong, was very pleased with this young Thompson Clan member and quite inclined to let Isla Astir date Brandon Thompson.

Not to mention family status,

just Brandon Thompson’s height and appearance pleased him greatly.

Brandon Thompson politely replied, “I have two younger brothers and a sister.”

Upon hearing this, William Astir was stunned–The Thompson Clan had so many children!

At that moment, William Astir still didn’t know about Brandon Thompson’s family background.

“Are they all unmarried?”

Brandon Thompson continued, “My two brothers haven’t yet, but my sister is already engaged.”

William Astir nodded, “That’s great, having many children makes a household lively.”

Watching William Astir’s expression, Eva Webster felt disgusted.

Could William Astir be any more shameless?

He couldn’t possibly think that Brandon Thompson liked Isla Astir?

Little did he know!

Isla Astir was nothing but a buffoon.

Brandon Thompson was here because of her!

She had been slightly unsure if Brandon Thompson truly loved her.

But now it seemed, Brandon Thompson must only have her in his heart!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed over to the Astir family first thing in the morning.

Just thinking that Brandon Thompson liked her excited Eva Webster immensely.

Her heart raced as if it could leap out of her chest at any moment.

Eva Webster tried to calm herself, mustered a smile, and walked into the living room, “Uncle, Aunt, good morning, Mr. Thompson.”

William Astir looked at Eva Webster, “Good morning, Eva.”

Hearing Eva Webster’s voice, Olivia Armstrong followed, “Ah Eva, breakfast is already on the table, come and eat.”

Eva Webster’s brow furrowed slightly.

What was Olivia Armstrong implying?

She just didn’t want her to have any alone time with Brandon Thompson, did she?

And this is her aunt?

Worse than a stranger!

Disgusting.

“Coming.” Eva Webster responded, then looked at William Astir and Brandon Thompson, “Uncle, Mr. Thompson, I’ll head to eat first.”

“Go ahead,” William Astir nodded.

Shortly after, Isla Astir came from outside, and she looked at Brandon Thompson, “Brother Thompson, I’ve already brought back the items, should we head out now?”

Upon hearing this, Eva Webster’s brow imperceptibly furrowed.

Isla Astir truly was too much.

Brandon Thompson was clearly here to see her, yet Isla Astir couldn’t wait to hurry him away!

Did she have any self-awareness at all?

“Yes,” Brandon Thompson nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Olivia Armstrong immediately came out of the kitchen, “Are you leaving already? Aren’t you eating lunch with us?”

Before Isla Astir could speak, Brandon Thompson said, “Aunt, there will be other opportunities.”

Other opportunities?

Eva Webster instantly caught the implication in Brandon Thompson’s words.

This meant he would come to the Astir family to see her again!

Since Brandon Thompson was being so proactive, she decided she needed to be proactive too, as love was a two-way street. Thinking this, Eva Webster smiled and said, “Isla, where are you and Mr. Thompson heading? I’m free today, I’ll join you guys.”
