Isla Astir very calmly replied, "You go first."

Eva Webster chose her words carefully, lowering her voice, "Isla, I hope you won't laugh when I say this—I think I've fallen in love at first sight with Mr. Thompson. So... could you, perchance, act as a go-between, and facilitate a meeting between us?"

Isla Astir was dumbfounded. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed that Eva Webster would say such a thing.

How was this different from daydreaming?

Isla Astir looked at Eva Webster, "Second cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but first, my relationship with Mr. Thompson isn't such that I could introduce someone to him as a potential partner. Second, as you mentioned, we and Mr. Thompson run in different circles, so I think you might not have thought this through thoroughly."

Isla Astir's words were frank and brutally honest.

She pointed out that Eva Webster was just building castles in the air.

Isla Astir was far from easy prey; she would not be easily manipulated. Besides, Eva Webster had never shown her any respect since the beginning.

Eva Webster's face turned pale, then green. She expected Isla Astir to go along with her plan, but hadn't anticipated that Isla could shut her down so completely!
