In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 236

If their age were further apart, Kate would have already taken Amelia inas a goddaughter.

"Kate, I knew you'd bring me over as well if you jumped ship.” Amelialooked gratefully at Kate.

“I've laid the path for you until this point,” Kate said with a smile. “I'dnever give up on you until you rise to the top.”

On the other hand, Skylar kept on getting Miranda's phone calls as shewas extremely impatient. Even though Skylar was told to reach by fourthirty, Miranda had been calling her since three thirty to rush her.Miranda also told Skylar that her cousin was back and asked her to pickher up at the station.

“It's not like she doesn't know the way. Why do I need to go pick herup?” Skylar was upset by her mother’s request.

“She said she brought too many gifts, so it's hard to carry everything,”Miranda responded.

In the end, Skylar took a deep breath and called a cab to the station tomeet her cousin, Eva.

Once she reached the station, Skylar could already see Eva coming outof the train with a lot of bags with her.

Their gazes met, but neither of them showed any enthusiasm.

Skylar never liked Eva as she was always arrogant.

Having said that, Skylar did put some thought into it. She was not thatnarrow-minded, but she remembered how Eva would always ask theirgrandmother about her grades at the dining table when they wereyoung.

Meredith would always react to Eva's question with a sigh and criticizedSkylar in front of the relatives. She would say that Skylar already hadnothing but still refused to work hard.

When Skylar was applying for Southwood Film Academy, Eva wouldalways mock her decision, saying that it was a place for rich kids. Andthat she should just study something that could land her a job easier.The other option was to just quit school and head straight into sales forclothes and cosmetics to lighten the load on their grandmother sinceSkylar had grown up.

Eva would always look down on Skylar and criticized her actions whileplacing herself on the moral high ground.

“I'll get a cab,” Skylar told Eva as she took out her phone.

“There's no need. My boyfriend will come over to pick me up,” Evastopped her.

Hearing that immediately got Skylar frustrated. What was Mirandadoing? Why did she ask me to come help Eva when her boyfriend'salready on it! No wonder she changed her internship location backhere. It was for a boy!

Then, Eva took out her phone and made a call. A BMW X1 showed upnot long after and honked.

“Let's go. He's here,” Eva said with a smile.

Hence, Skylar followed behind Eva, but her hands were empty since Evaalready had someone helping her.

When they got on the car, Skylar self-consciously sat at the back andtook out her phone from her bag.

“Hermés?" Eva asked as she looked back at Skylar's bag. “How muchwas it? Why are you using a counterfeit?”

Skylar picked up the bag to have a look, “For vanity I guess. You knowme. I'm very prideful. No harm in getting a fake one to boost myimage.”

“Work hard in the future and get a real one,” Eva smirked. "Using acounterfeit just feels so lowly. By the way, I heard you've gone back toschool?

“Yeah. And the holidays are coming soon.”

Eva sighed. “Poor Grandma worked her life away for you. Even herretirement fund was spent on you. To be honest, you should've nevergone to that school. When Grandma passed away, she only had threethousand left in her bank.” Eva was placing herself on a moral highground once again, criticizing Skylar as if she herself were a saint.“Your dad took that last three thousand,” Skylar spoke nonchalantly.
