Eva Webster was doing this deliberately.
It was a ploy to provoke someone into action.
She certainly knew all the little schemes in Beatrice Black's heart; not willing to let go of Isla Astir's money, but on the other hand, she looked down on Isla Astir's education level, always feeling that George Armstrong could find someone better.
In Beatrice Black's eyes, Isla Astir was nothing more than a backup option.
Only if George Armstrong really couldn't find anyone better would she reluctantly choose Isla Astir as a daughter-in-law.
And Beatrice Black was an old fox herself.
She had a good grasp of Eva Webster's intentions and, with a smile, said, "Haven't I already said that we should not talk about this matter for now? Our George should still focus on his studies."
