Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1059 - 290: Setting up a trap to abuse the scum!_6

She herself had no children, and she had long considered Isla as her own flesh and blood. Even though the person in question was her sister-in-law, she wouldn't allow Sabrina to slander Isla.

Sabrina looked at Olivia, pouting her mouth. She had earnestly said so much, but Olivia, it appeared, couldn't recognize a good heart.

On whose behalf was she speaking?

Wasn't it to prevent Olivia from being deceived?

Could an adopted child really be the same as one's own?

Sabrina refrained from showing her anger, and continued, "Auntie, I am saying all this for your sake! Aren't you pleased? Our two families are as close as flesh and bone. George is your niece's son, so I'm pouring my heart out to you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bother!"

As a close relative, Sabrina hoped Olivia could understand a simple truth: there was no blood relation between Olivia and Isla. Only Olivia and George were truly kin. Therefore, Olivia and Isla had to maintain a boundary.

Otherwise, Olivia would live to regret it!

Olivia took a deep breath. "Isla is absolutely not the kind of person you say she is! I raised her from an infant – changing her diapers, feeding her milk. I know her better than anyone. Even as a child, Isla was understanding and obedient. When she was three, I cooked a boiled egg for her. Seeing neither me nor her father had one, she refused to eat a bite. She insisted on splitting it into three parts. It was only after she saw us eat our portions did she satisfy her hunger. She was all but a toddler! Therefore, I decided that if she ever had the chance to go to university, I would support her no matter what."

By this point, Olivia's eyes had started to glisten with tears.

The most correct decision she took in her life was to adopt a child and treat that child as her own.

Not only Olivia, but also Isla, who was just outside the door, had tears in her eyes hearing Olivia's words. Isla had just ordered a meal, and was about to enter the room when she heard what her mother said.

In fact, her parents had never hid her origins from her. They had told her the truth when she turned eighteen.

They had even supported her in finding her biological parents.

However, Isla declined.

Those who gave birth but didn't raise her didn't deserve to be parents in her book.

In her life, she only had one set of parents, that being William Astir and Olivia.

As for the rest, she didn't recognize them.

After adjusting her breathing, Isla Astir entered the room with a smile on her face, pretending as if nothing had happened. "Aunt, I ordered a few specialties from their menu. I am not sure if you'll like them or not."

Sabrina was quite the sweet talker, "I'll enjoy anything you order, Isla."

Following this, Sabrina continued, "Isla, I've always known that you would grow up to be accomplished!"

"Thanks, Aunt Sabrina." Isla didn't say much, just thanked her.

In fact, she very well knew the kind of person Sabrina was.

If she didn't have her current achievements, Sabrina wouldn't be flattering her or trying to curry her favor.

People are all realistic.

Sabrina was so enthusiastic because she could gain something from Isla.

The only reason Isla didn't expose the truth was out of respect for her parents. After all, Sabrina was still Olivia's sister-in-law.

Although knowing Sabrina wasn't a good person, she needed to maintain a decent relationship with her.

Soon, the dishes were served.

The three ordered eight dishes and a soup. Isla asked the waiter for takeaway boxes, intending to pack some food for her father.

Sabrina was full of praise for Isla's thoughtfulness. She took the opportunity to advise Isla not to rush into a relationship and asked her to date someone familiar, someone whose roots she knew well. Only such a man was deemed suitable for Isla.

Isla just smiled and nodded, but what Sabrina said went in one ear and out the other for her.

After finishing the meal and complimenting Isla on her achievements, Sabrina finally left.

After her departure, Mrs. Astir looked at Isla Astir and began, "Isla, please, do not take to heart what your Aunt Sabrina just said. Do not let her words become a burden to you. Remember, you're always your father and my treasure. No matter whom you choose to marry, as long as you are happy, your father and I will support you."

Mrs. Astir wasn't a fool. Since she considered Isla as if she were her own daughter, she would speak her heart out to her.

"Yes." Isla nodded her head, "Thank you, mom."
