Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1935 - 552: Two big shots_2

The closed car interior also carried a faint scent of alcohol.

Isla Astir was momentarily stunned.

"I..."

She was about to say something, 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 moment, the Driver suddenly spoke up, "Miss Astir."

"I’m here."

Driver Uncle Lee said with a smile: "Miss Astir, my surname 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 come 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, remember to text me when you get home."

"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 message 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 somewhat 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 come home earlier! Mom, why didn’t you tell me?"

After all, Olivia Armstrong was an elder, and it was now during the New Year period. It was somewhat impolite for her not to be home to entertain an elder who had come to visit.

Olivia Armstrong said, "I meant to tell you, but your aunt stopped me 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 me 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 some fruit platter."

Windy Armstrong continued, "I’ve already cut the fruits. Isla, come 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 temperament. Our Eva, on the other hand, is not like that; she complains that I nag too soon into our conversations! Just recently, someone came 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 become 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 chimed in, "Big sister, I think Isla makes some 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 me bothersome!" 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 handsome, yet she still wasn’t interested! Honestly, I have no idea what kind of man she wants to marry!"
