In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 257

Eva urged, “I've made it so clear. Just call the police and let them takeAunt Miranda away. There must be some mistakes in the procedurescausing her to be freed from custody. Once the police officers look intothis matter, she'll be taken back to where she was.”

Now that Eva had mentioned it clearly, she took out her phone andhanded the task of reporting Miranda to her parents.

Sharon chickened out and elbowed Wesley. “She's your sister, so youshould report her.”

Looking at the numbers 999 on the phone screen, Wesley hesitated ashe raised his hand and put it back down soon after. Miranda was hissister, and she had been taking care of him since they were young. Nowthat she was out of prison, he felt reluctant to send her back in.

His conscience wouldn't let him take the phone while his heart wasconflicted, but Miranda living in his house had brought them a lot ofinconveniences. His house wasn't that big to begin with and ever sinceMiranda stayed there, Sharon had been quarreling with him every daywhile their son was forced to stay at the school dorm.

Sharon glared at her husband and said, “You're so useless. Just take thephone. How hard could it be?”

Eva added fuel to the fire. “Dad, you're not betraying Aunt Miranda.You're just carrying out your duties as a good citizen. She doesn't seemlike she suffered in the prison. We're not reporting her. Instead, we'rehelping her to replace a better place.”

Listening to Eva's words, Wesley finally mustered the courage and tookthe phone. However, he gave the phone to Sharon after hesitating for afew minutes.

His wife was so furious that she scolded, “Coward!”

She took the phone and reported to the police, saying that an inmateescaped and came to their house, threatening their lives. Giving theaddress to the police officers, she urged them to come capture theinmate as soon as possible.

After reporting to the police, Sharon felt so relaxed that she startedhumming a tune.

Now, there won't be any outsider in our house.

Ever since Miranda stayed with them, not only did she feel suffocated,she lost her appetite and even had trouble sleeping at night.

Having stress weighing upon her every day, blisters appeared at thecorner of her lips and it was getting on her nerves. She wished for thedeath of Miranda so badly.

Eva said wistfully, “We're so unlucky to have someone like her as ourrelative. She's dragging everyone down. Kevin can't become a civilservant if he wants, while I can't pass the background checks of thegovernment. This is all because of Aunt Miranda, but why are we theones taking the blame for it?”

Sharon widened her eyes in surprise. “Damn this Miranda! Dragging usdown like this.”

Then she shifted the blame to Wesley and scolded, “It's all because ofyour family members. I'm so unlucky to be married to you.”Meanwhile, Miranda asked, “Skylar, are you hungry? They are eatingmeat fondue next door. Do you want some?”

Skylar shook her head. “Not really. If they really want us to join, theycould've asked.”

Miranda smiled and said, “You're quite arrogant. Are you getting alongwell with the man who gave me the card? His wife's giving birth soon,but you're still involved with him. Well, I think you should break up withhim and replace another to spend your life with.”

Hearing these words from Miranda, Skylar was shocked. In the past,Miranda had always wanted her daughter to marry someone rich, sothat she could enjoy the rest of her life in fortune and wealth.

She didn't tell Miranda about everything, as it was way too hard toexplain.

Checking the time on her phone, she got up from the couch. “I have togo. Did you call me here just to admire how beautiful your new gownis?"

Miranda tried to make her stay. “Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Itold you I have good news to share. Eva is going to work in aninternational company as the CEO's assistant and she's about to getmarried. You'll need to come up with a plan for your life.”

Miranda seemed more like a mom now, as she treated Skylar better.Listening to Miranda mentioning Eva, Skylar recalled seeing Eva's photoon the coffee table last night.
