No wonder Mandel Thompson sought out Isla Astir.
Her pseudonym during high school was Miss Astir.
From beginning to end, Isla Astir was just his substitute.
I don't know what Isla Astir is so proud of.
She's just a mere clown.
A moment later, Jean Beckman looked at Isla Astir, the corners of her mouth slightly curling up, "Miss Astir, one day, you will regret your actions today!"
If Mandel Thompson knew what happened today, would he easily let Isla Astir off the hook?
Of course not!
She alone is Mandel Thompson's eternal saudade.
What is Isla Astir, then?
She's not even a grain of rice sticking to Mandel Thompson.
But by then, regret would be utterly useless.
"Really?" Isla Astir raised an eyebrow, "Miss Beckman, are you that confident?"
Jean Beckman smiled, "You will understand when the time comes."
At this point, she paused, then added, "Understand the gap between you and me."
