Chapter 1869: 448: Third Master is under strict supervision by his wife!_3

She was determined to make Isla Astir misunderstand,

believing that Brandon truly liked her.

The greater the hope, the bigger the disappointment.

When Isla Astir heard the first part of the sentence, she felt a bit anxious, but upon hearing the latter half, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Eva Webster wasn’t genuinely concerned about her; Eva cared about Brandon.

Eva Webster had always been full of herself, aspiring to marry into the second rich generation.

It had to be said, Brandon perfectly met all of Eva’s criteria.

Isla Astir looked up at Eva and continued, "Big cousin, I’m going to tell you a secret, but you can’t tell my parents, okay?"

"You can tell me," Eva responded.

Isla Astir lowered her voice, "Brandon and I, we’re together now."

Eva almost laughed out loud upon hearing this.

Isla Astir and Brandon together?

Impossible!

Isla Astir didn’t even bother to make her lies plausible!

Did she really think she was fooling anyone?

Thinking she could deceive her so easily?

Although Eva was quite sure Isla was lying, she still pretended to be surprised and said, "Really?"

"Mhm," Isla nodded.

Once she knew Eva was interested in Brandon, it was essential for her to inform Eva that she and Brandon were an item.

This was to dismiss any of Eva’s unrealistic thoughts.

After all, the two were cousins, and Isla didn’t want to have a falling out over this.

It was pointless.

Eva then asked, "Did Mr. Thompson take the initiative to confess his feelings to you?"

Isla told the truth, "He was the one who brought it up."

Eva’s lips curved into a smile as she said, "Now that you two are together, why don’t you invite Mr. Thompson over to the house?"

"I don’t want to go public with our relationship for now, so please, big cousin, don’t tell my parents," Isla said.

Upon hearing this, Eva’s eyes brimmed with scorn.

Not wanting to go public?

She figured it was Isla who was lying!

Someone like Isla, if she really were with Brandon, she’d absolutely want to make it known to everyone right away.

Even though Eva knew Isla was boasting, she didn’t expose her but nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, Isla, I’ll definitely keep it a secret for you."

The Eva of the past never realized just how vain Isla could be.

She was audacious in her claims!

Or perhaps, had Isla realized that Brandon had a liking for her and deliberately said this in front of Eva to make her give up and back out voluntarily?

Yes!

That must be the case.

Isla was oversimplifying the situation.

Did she think she was that foolish?

To be tricked by Isla?

Just a thought would make it clear that Brandon would never fancy a scheming girl like Isla.

Lacking both integrity and education.

Unless in a dream.

Eva concealed the mockery in her eyes well before saying, "Isla, congratulations. I’ve always known that you were born to be a rich lady!"

Isla replied with a smile, "Cousin, it’s too early for you to say that. Brandon and I have just started dating, and we haven’t even settled anything yet."

Although the two got along very well at the moment,

it was only a short period of harmony, and no one knew what the future held.

As the saying goes, time reveals a person’s heart.

To avoid premature joy, Isla didn’t want to tell her parents too soon.

Eva looked at Isla, with the sarcasm almost spilling from her eyes, and asked further, "How long have you two been together?"

"About a month or so," answered Isla.

Eva smiled and said, "So Mr. Thompson has been plotting for a while. No wonder he signed ’There is Wine Today’."

Upon this, Isla frowned subtly and continued, "Big cousin, you’ve misunderstood. My collaboration with Cloud Group has nothing to do with our relationship."

Regarding this, Isla had asked Brandon,

and he had given her a very full explanation.

Most importantly, Isla had enough confidence in her own work.

She had read ’The Secret of S.’

Admittedly, ’The Secret of S’ was a good work, but it lost the interest to keep people reading towards the end.

A good work should get richer as it progresses.

Thus, Isla was confident about this change.

Upon hearing this, Eva raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised that Isla still retained some sense and knew that Brandon didn’t sign the contract because of her.
