After Anthony left the room, the old lady waved at her with a secretive gesture. Eve Thompson stepped forward and came to her side.
The old lady lowered her voice: "Girl, this is all I can do for you! That damn boy has a cold personality; you should stay in touch with him more often."
She clenched her fist and waved it encouragingly in front of her: "Go for it! Try to get him to agree to engagement as soon as possible, and give me a chubby great-grandson soon!"
Eve Thompson: ...
So, that's the big secret you wanted to share?
She twitched her mouth, feeling the old lady's goodwill, and found the person in front of her somewhat endearing.
Eve Thompson nodded, "Granny, I'll try my best!"
She originally thought she would have to stay here longer, but unexpectedly, the old lady was very straightforward and directly sent her off: "Alright, I know you young folks don't like being restrained, so you don't have to keep me company!"
After Eve left, the old lady called in the butler, her face full of gossip: "Lee, how is this girl getting along with that damn boy? Tell me all about it!"
The butler, speechless, simply recounted the events of the past few days.
After listening to him, the old lady fell into deep thought: "You mean, the Thompson family intends to cooperate, but this girl hasn't brought it up yet?"
The butler nodded.

Exiting the nursing home and riding in the car home, Eve saw that she had received a few messages on WhatsApp, all sent by her sister's roommate, Freya Morrison: [Iris, if you don't come to the 10 o'clock class, you'll lose credits, which would jeopardize your graduation this year!]
Eve suddenly remembered that her sister was currently a senior college student.
Chunark University is a prestigious university in City S. Her sister had worked hard for a long time to be accepted to this university, so she couldn't give it up now.
Looking at the time, she thought there was still enough time to make it to school, so she quickly told the driver the address.
-
The school.
When Eve rushed into the classroom, she arrived just in time.
After signing in, she found a random seat, but as soon as she sat down, the entire class stared at her in astonishment.
Eve raised an eyebrow, unsure of what had happened.
As she pondered, a WhatsApp message from Freya Morrison popped-up on her phone screen: [Iris, why are you sitting there?]
What's wrong with sitting here?
Eve Thompson replied: [?]
[Look to your left.]
Eve turned her head and saw a girl frowning at her with a seat between them.
Her facial features were average, but she had a trendy appearance and an air of elegance from the ostentatious display of brand-name clothes, making her stand out among the college students.
It turned out to be Lana Thompson – Ava White and Jonas Thompson's daughter, the illegitimate younger sister who was half a year younger than her.
Lana and her sister both studied computer science, with her sister in class one and Lana in class two, but some courses had both classes attending together.
As Eve was sizing her up, the girl next to Lana suddenly spoke up aggressively: "What are you looking at? You're not worthy of sitting next to Lana, get lost!"
Before she could say anything else, the teacher walked into the classroom, and Lana immediately pulled at the girl's sleeve: "Okay, don't say anything."
The girl was still resentful: "Lana, you're just too kind! That illegitimate daughter of a mistress should be beaten for every encounter. What gives her the right to sit next to you?"
Eve Thompson: ??
