Eva Webster took the teacup with both hands, "Thank you."
Isla Astir smiled and said, "Don't ntion it."
Olivia Armstrong carried a plate of fruit over and continued, "Eva, this trip you've co with Little Mo to stay at your aunt's house for a few days."
"Alright." Eva Webster nodded.
She had the sa intention.
Now that her aunt and her family are also residents of the new Capital City, their social status has changed, and their circle will also change.
Olivia Armstrong continued, "Little Mo will sleep in the guest room tonight. Eva, would you be okay staying in the sa room with Isla? Isla's room is large, with about thirty square ters! The bed for you has already been made!"
"Of course it's alright." Eva Webster looked at Isla Astir and smiled, "As long as Isla doesn't mind."
Isla Astir said, "How could I mind having my second cousin here!"
When it was ti to sleep, Eva Webster followed Isla Astir back to her room. Eva had thought that she would be sharing a bed with Isla, but to her surprise, there was another single bed in Isla's room.
Isla Astir smiled and said, "Cousin, you sleep on the large bed tonight, I'll take the single bed."
After all, Eva Webster was a guest, they couldn't let her squeeze onto a single bed.
Hearing that, Eva Webster breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't used to sleeping on a single bed and said, "Isla, how about you sleep with tonight?"
Isla Astir replied, "I might be up working until two or three in the morning, I'm sure I'll disturb your sleep."
Eva Webster nodded and did not insist further. Her sleep quality wasn't very good, and if she was disturbed in the middle of the night, she definitely wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.
Rembering what her aunt had said, Eva Webster looked at Isla Astir and asked with so curiosity, "Isla, I heard that you have a boyfriend now?"
Isla Astir was taken aback, "No, who told you that?"
"No?" Eva Webster narrowed her eyes, "Isla, you're not hiding it from , are you?"
"I really don't." Isla Astir continued, "I haven't even thought about having a boyfriend yet."
"Really?" Eva Webster asked.
Isla Astir nodded, "Mhm."
Eva Webster asked again, "Then do you have anyone pursuing you in your life?"
Isla Astir shook her head.
Eva Webster didn't quite believe it. "You are so beautiful. No one at school has ever pursued you?"
Isla Astir laughed, "I don't really go to school."
Except for exams.
Hearing that, Eva Webster nodded, then said, "But I heard from my aunt that last ti you rode in a car with a guy?"
Isla Astir explained, "That was just a regular friend."
"Soone pursuing you?" Eva Webster continued to ask.
She'd heard from her aunt that the symbol on that man's car was a little golden man!
What kind of car has a little golden man symbol?
Of course it's a Rolls-Royce!
God knows how envious Eva Webster was of Isla Astir after hearing about this.
Isla Astir was just too lucky.
Not only can she make money, but even the n pursuing her are of such high quality!
If there were a high-quality man pursuing Eva Webster, she wouldn't have been single for so many years.
Isla Astir shook her head, "He's not pursuing , he just gave a ride because we were going the sa way."
"Then what's your relationship with him like?" Eva Webster imdiately asked.
"Ordinary." Isla Astir answered.
Eva Webster imdiately asked, "Is he married?"
Isla Astir shook her head, "I'm not really sure, and my relationship with him is really just ordinary."
When she found out that Isla Astir knew little about him, Eva Webster let out a breath of relief. This indicated that Isla Astir and this man were truly just ordinary friends.
Eva Webster climbed into bed, pulled up the quilt over herself, and then said, "Isla, if you start dating, you can't keep it a secret. You have to tell right away."
Having said that, Eva Webster continued, "And I think my aunt is right. For you now, the man's wealth is no longer important, after all, you're not short of money. What matters most is character. Also, your aunt and uncle only have you as their daughter, so it would be better if the man could marry into your family, this would make it easier for you to take care of them in the future."
Would a wealthy man be willing to marry into a family?
That's impossible!
"I haven't thought that far yet."
She just wanted to work hard to earn money to give her parents a good life.
Eva Webster looked at Isla Astir and sighed, "Isla, sotis I really envy you. Look at you, you were average in school when you were young, your college entrance exams weren't that outstanding either, but you're lucky! You caught a good opportunity, beca famous in the comic circle, and even before you graduated from college, you've already settled down in Capital City. Why don't I have good luck like that?"
Eva Webster, self-centeredly, attributed all of Isla Astir's efforts to luck.
Isla Astir didn't retort and smiled saying, "I am indeed quite lucky."
If she hadn't been adopted by her parents after being abandoned back then, she may not be here today.
Later, she fell in love with comics, bought many comic books to read with the pocket money her parents gave her, and was even called to see a teacher because of it. But her parents didn't bla her, instead, they bought her several more comic books.
In their consciousness, no matter what books she read, as long as she could get into it, it wasn't a bad thing.
After the middle school examinations, Isla Astir ca into contact with computers during high school and tried to publish her first comic online. She didn't expect that it would be a hit.
Latter, she bought a computer with the first paynt she received for her work, and from then on, she officially embarked on the path of creating comics.
Her luck was that she was adopted by good parents after being abandoned.
And also that she chose a career that was most suitable for her.
Eva Webster continued, "My mom told that your aunt and uncle didn't have it easy before. You were often laughed at in the village. You must never be ungrateful and always listen to your aunt and uncle."
"Mhm." Isla Astir nodded.
Having said that, Isla Astir continued, "Second cousin, you sleep first, I have to work for a while."
"Alright, you work then, I won't disturb you."
Sohow, Eva Webster always felt that Isla Astir looked down on her a bit, otherwise she wouldn't be so reluctant to talk to her more.
People do change when they have money.
Isla Astir is now a famous comic artist, whereas she is just a minor company employee.
Thinking about it, Eva Webster felt a little bit uncomfortable. At the sa ti, she also made a secret resolution; she must marry a good husband in this life!
She would surpass Isla Astir!
...
After attending the banquet, Miss Seaton beca more and more discontented, and even during her date with Miyamoto Hoya, she was distracted.
Originally her sister was on her side, but she didn't expect that Karina would surrender to Viola Thompson so quickly!
Miyamoto Hoya noticed that Miss Seaton was a bit out of it and curiously asked, "Miss Seaton, did sothing unhappy happen to you?"
"No." Miss Seaton said.
Miyamoto Hoya frowned slightly, "How could that be!"
Miss Seaton looked at Miyamoto Hoya, "Even if I tell you, what can you do? You can't solve the problem for !"
Her words were highly provocative, no different from questioning a man's abilities.
Miyamoto Hoya was provoked, "Miss Seaton, tell who offended you! I will take revenge for you!"
Miss Seaton looked at Miyamoto Hoya, and slowly said, "Viola Thompson."
