Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 1058 - 290: Setting up a trap to abuse the scum!_5

But Sabrina Sabir was not only unaware of the problem, she was actually enjoying it.

Sabrina looked at Isla Astir and said, "George's school is pretty close to yours, Isla. You should go and hang out with him if you can, discuss your studies."

Before Isla could respond, Mrs. Astir chuckled and interjected, "Isla's so busy she hardly has time to eat, let alone socialize. There're always meetings and conferences to attend when she's free. She only goes to school during exams; where would she find time to hang out with George?"

Isla usually stays up until nearly 3 a.m. drawing comics, wakes up at 11:30 a.m., and starts reading after having a meal. After reading, she gets some exercise. If there are any activities at the school, she has to squeeze in time to participate.

After the activities, she rushes back to draw more comics. Her time is like water from a sponge, all squeezed out.

She has practically no time to play.

"True, your Isla is one busy bee now!"

That comment was a bit sour.

Isla glanced at her watch and said, "It's about time for lunch. How about I take you out for lunch, Auntie?"

Then she turned to Mr. Astir and said, "Dad, we'll bring you lunch when we come back."

"No, no need," Sabrina quickly refused, "Isla, just give the money for the meal to your mom. She and I will go out to eat, you stay in the hospital room and look after your dad."

Mr. Astir laughed and said, "I don't need any looking after, let Isla take you."

Isla picked up her bag and said, "Auntie, Mom, let's go."

Sabrina's gaze fell onto Isla's bag and she commented with a smile, "That's quite an expensive bag, isn't it, Isla?"

"Not really," Isla replied.

Sabrina said, "It must be at least a few thousand, right? Actually, bags don't really need to be too nice, you could just buy a cheap one for a few dozens and save up the rest. Buy some gold bars for your parents, those never depreciate!"

Already bought them," Mrs. Astir laughed heartily, "Isla bought quite a few bars of gold a few days before the price went up."

Mrs. Astir didn't think a few thousand was too much for a bag.

After all, Isla wasn't an ordinary person now. It was only right for her to get a good bag. Carrying a cheap bag to meetings with bosses to discuss copyrights wasn't very fitting.

Upon hearing this, Sabrina didn't know what to say other than expressing her envy.

She also had a daughter!

Her own flesh and blood!

But her daughter was just an average person among thousands.

At 21, she was working in a clothing factory, earning just 5,000 a month, not even matching up to Isla's change.

This thought made Sabrina feel aggrieved.

Her own daughter couldn't even compare to the girl her sister-in-law had picked up from outside.

If she had known, she would've picked up a child back then too!

In no time, they arrived at the restaurant.

Isla chose a mid-to-high-end restaurant because Sabrina was with them. She went to the front desk to order food, leaving Mrs. Astir and Sabrina to chat at the table.

Watching Isla walk away, Sabrina lowered her voice and asked, "Do you demand money from Isla normally?"

Mrs. Astir shook her head and laughed, "We don't ask her for it. Mr. Astir and I saved some money when we were young. Isla covers our living expenses now, so we really don't need much."

Not only did they not actively ask for money from Isla, they even declined when Isla proactively offered them money.

Money was enough as long as it was enough to use.

Hearing this, Sabrina was completely exasperated. What kind of parents were these?

They turned down money!

Sabrina sighed deeply and spoke in a heavy tone, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you what's on my mind. Isla is not your biological child, so you have to be careful, especially when it comes to money. You should assert some control. If she gets her hands on too much money, it might lead her astray."

"She doesn't even know who her biological parents are yet! What if one day she finds them and gives all of her money to them? You and your husband will have nowhere to cry. If I were you, I'd take control of her bank cards as well. Besides, she's a girl. What if she runs off with some guy someday?"

"Isla is not that kind of person!" Mrs. Astir immediately argued back.
