In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 258

Tobias was so efficient in his work that the notice was announced bythe HR department quickly.

Skylar was reluctant to listen to Eva's achievements as she admitted shewas nowhere close to the outstanding latter.

Not only did she have excellent results, she received love from herparents and her lover. She was a natural beauty, and every relativedeemed her to be successful.

In comparison, Skylar was just a pitiful child who had no one to takecare of her.

Skylar brushed her off and said, “I know. I'll figure it out myself. I'll beoff now... If there's anything, hit me up.”

Before she exited the house, she heard somebody knocking on thedoor. Thinking that it was the delivery man, she opened the door withno hesitation.

At the door stood a few men in uniforms and peaked caps while theman in the middle was carrying a bag.

Skylar asked in confusion, “Who are you guys looking for?”

Miranda saw the police officers, but it was too late to flee. Lowering herhead, she wished the earth would swallow her up completely, hidingher from them.

One of the police officers asked, “Is this Miranda Watts's house?”Skylar didn't reply and asked, “What's the matter? Are you guys here toenumerate the residents?”

The police took out an arrest warrant. “We suspect that she broke outof prison, so we're bringing her back for an investigation.”

Skylar thought everything would be peaceful, so she was caught offguard by the sudden waves of trouble crashing onto her.

Miranda lifted her head and pretended to be a fool. “You bad people!Where do you think you are taking me? I'm not a criminal anymore, sowhy are you guys here?”

Sharon was listening to the movements outside the room and she feltrelieved, knowing that Miranda was going to be arrested.

What she wanted the most was for Miranda to rot in prison to save herfamily and herself some trouble.

Sharon praised her daughter happily, “My dear daughter, you're sosmart! We should've done this long ago. Let's see how long this womancan last.”

Eva chuckled, “You guys should learn to utilize the law. That way, shewon't get to stay in our house.”

Miranda was arrested by the police. When she was taken away, she wasin handcuffs and many residents saw everything that happened.Everyone was gossiping, saying that she shouldn't be pitied anddeserved it, seeing how she got arrested after being released for ashort while.

With doubts in her mind, Skylar stood at the intersection as she staredat the police car speeding away.

Before Miranda was dragged away by the police officers, she held ontoSkylar's hand in a vice-like death grip, with tears welling up in her eyes.The words she said only carried the reluctance of having her freedombeing snatched away from her once again.

Skylar followed the police car to the police station.

She wanted to learn about the situation, but she was blocked by thepolice officers at the entrance, so she could only wait outside fromevening until past midnight.

Shivering from the cold weather, she went to a convenience storenearby and bought a cup of hot coffee.

When she went back to the police station, she stopped a police officerin his tracks. He was one of them who went to Wesley's house to arrestMiranda.

Rushing her way to the police officer, she panted heavily, gasping forbreath. “What's the situation with Miranda Watts? Can you please tellme?"

The police officer sympathized with the girl as she was waiting in suchfreezing weather outside.

He disclosed, “The results stated that she didn't return to jail after hermedical parole, so she committed a crime against the law. She'll betaken away to the prison she used to stay in tomorrow, and she'll belocked up now.”

Skylar's heart sank, even though she was mentally prepared for theworst.

Miranda was sentenced to life imprisonment for committing intentionalhomicide, so there was no way she would be released after a decade.However, Skylar found it hard to accept that her mother would betaken away the next day.

She pursed her lips and said, “Is there a way to turn this around?”

The police officer answered, “I don't think so, as there is evidence of herbreaking out of the prison. Young girl, the weather is freezing, so youshould go back home. You can visit her when she’s in jail. There's nopoint in waiting as you won't be able to meet her now.”

Skylar couldn't figure it out. Everything was fine until now... How didthe police officers replace out?
