Chapter 1935: 552: Two big shots_2
The closed car interior also carried a faint scent of alcohol.
Isla Astir was montarily stunned.
“I…”
She was about to say sothing, but then she discovered that Brandon Thompson had already fallen asleep on her.
The Driver’s driving skills were pretty good.
The ride was very smooth.
Throughout the journey, Brandon Thompson didn’t wake up.
At this mont, the Driver suddenly spoke up, “Miss Astir.”
“I’m here.”
Driver Uncle Lee said with a smile: “Miss Astir, my surna is Lee. I’ve been working for the Thompson Clan for sixteen years now, and you are the first girl our young master has been involved with.”
“It’s clear to see that our young master really likes you.”
“Considering how much our young master likes you, you should really give him a status soon!”
Driver Uncle Lee could tell that Isla Astir was a very nice girl.
Including her friends, who also behaved very properly.
Furthermore.
In today’s society, for a girl with no family background, no connections, and from a rural origin to have co as far as Isla Astir had, it really wasn’t easy.
She was better than most people.
A half-asleep and half-awake Brandon Thompson thought: When we get back, I’ll give Uncle Lee a raise!
Before long, the car reached the destination.
Isla Astir intended to quietly leave the car without disturbing the sleeping Brandon Thompson. However, just as she was about to close the car door, Brandon Thompson woke up.
“Miss Astir, rember to text when you get ho.”
“Okay.” Isla Astir nodded.
Isla Astir strolled into the residential complex.
In the minus ten-odd degree temperature, she didn’t feel a hint of cold.
The snow under her feet crunched with every step.
It wasn’t long before she reached the entrance of her building and texted Brandon Thompson.
After receiving the ssage in the car, Brandon Thompson looked towards the front seat at Driver Uncle Lee, “Uncle Lee, let’s go.”
“Alright, young master.”

Isla Astir hung her bag on the coat rack and took off her heavy down jacket. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw her mother chatting on the sofa with her aunt, Olivia Armstrong.
Seeing Olivia Armstrong, Isla Astir was sowhat surprised and said with a smile, “Auntie is here!”
“Isla is back,” Olivia stood up.
Isla continued, “If I had known auntie was coming over, I would have co ho earlier! Mom, why didn’t you tell ?”
After all, Olivia Armstrong was an elder, and it was now during the New Year period. It was sowhat impolite for her not to be ho to entertain an elder who had co to visit.
Olivia Armstrong said, “I ant to tell you, but your aunt stopped from doing so.”
Olivia Armstrong spoke helplessly, “I visit often enough; I’m hardly a rare guest! I heard from your mother that you were at a class reunion. Young people should enjoy their own company. What need is there for an old person like to join in your fun?”
Olivia Armstrong and Eva Webster were mother and daughter, but their personalities were completely different.
Olivia was reasonable and level-headed.
Her only flaw was that she spoiled her daughter too much and failed to raise her properly.
Isla Astir said with a smile, “Then I will go cut so fruit platter.”
Windy Armstrong continued, “I’ve already cut the fruits. Isla, co sit here, and let’s chat.”
“Okay.” Isla Astir nodded, walked to the sofa, and joined in the chat.
Seeing how well-behaved and sensible Isla Astir was, Olivia Armstrong said enviously, “Isla, you have such a good temperant. Our Eva, on the other hand, is not like that; she complains that I nag too soon into our conversations! Just recently, soone ca to our house to matchmake for her, and she had the nerve to demand the man to have a house and a car, and even savings of ten million. Preferably with a Capital City registration!”
At that point, Olivia let out a helpless sigh, “Isla, don’t you think she’s too ambitious for her station? She’s almost thirty now, still thinks she’s the belle of the ball! If she continues to be this picky, she’ll end up being all alone!”
Eva Webster had always been too ambitious for her station, and as her mother, Olivia was genuinely worried.
She didn’t want to just stand by and watch her daughter beco the so-called spinster everyone talked about.
Hearing this, Isla Astir said with a comforting smile, “Auntie, they say that children are born with their own fortune. If it’s a matter of fate not having arrived yet, your worrying won’t help. Moreover, my older cousin is quite a thoughtful person. If you’ve said all you need to say and done all you could do, yet she still insists on her own ideas, then you should just let her be.”
Hearing that, Windy chid in, “Big sister, I think Isla makes so sense. Eva is a girl with her own opinions; the more you try to control her, the more likely she is to find you annoying.”
“Isn’t that the truth! Right now, she’s already finding botherso!” Olivia was very helpless, then continued, “Recently, an old neighbor from downstairs who’s known us for over a decade introduced her to a prospective match. The guy had a house and a car, earning 900,000 a year! Tall, strong, and incredibly handso, yet she still wasn’t interested! Honestly, I have no idea what kind of man she wants to marry!”
