In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 307

Upon hearing that, Skylar's heart skipped a beat. Brayden is such ajacka*s, much worse than I've expected!

Infuriated, she slammed her hand on the table and tarred everyonewith the same brush. “All of you men are despicable creatures! Can youactually sleep at night after impregnating a woman?”

Gazing at her face which had turned red in anger, he chuckled. “DidBrayden force her? Absolutely not. Hence, you can’t blame it on oneparty for it takes two to tango. You should be thankful that you've meta serious and responsible man like me.”

She rolled her eyes at him. Sheesh! It's equally selfish to engage in anycasual relationship that doesn't end up in a marriage.

He did tell me before that he might not be able to spend a lifetime withme. Does that reflect his serious and responsible attitude?

She asked him, “What if I have your baby? Will you behave like Brayden—toy with me, and then leave me?”

“I don't want to answer a hypothetical question.” He dropped the topic.Skylar did not push it further as she was not interested to discuss thesubject in detail with Tobias. Birds of the same feather flock together.They're both the same.

In Skylar's eyes, Tobias was a slightly better scum than Brayden.Though Quest Group had collapsed, there were still many guests whocame forward to celebrate Thomas’ birthday with him.

The arrival of Tobias was a big deal. If it were in the past, Thomas wouldsurely felt proud and excited. However, it was not the case that night—he was glum and troubled.

Miranda had been pressuring him to announce his divorce with Irenepublicly at the banquet. Otherwise, she threatened to tell the policewhat happened back then.

Why didn't I steel my heart and kill Miranda in jail last time? Who wouldhave thought she could be acquitted on all counts? Thomas regrettednot taking action sooner.

All in all, Miranda's release was made happen after Skylar got togetherwith Tobias. Thomas strongly believed that Tobias played a part in itand admitted his mistake for underestimating Skylar's capabilities.Irene spotted Miranda in the crowd. While plastering an elegant smileon her face, she shot a questionable gaze at Thomas, which hemanaged to dodge.

The two women had animosity toward each other for half a century-long. Accompanied by her son, Irene approached Miranda.

“What a surprise! Don’t you think it's really inappropriate for you toappear at this banquet? Do you like being a troublemaker so much?Are you too free after being released from jail?” Irene said softlythrough her gritted teeth.

She did not want others to hear a single word she said.

Miranda stood there, scrutinizing both Irene and Hayden. He's so talland looks so much like Thomas.

“I return to claim my position as the lady of this house. This will be myhome henceforth.” Confidently, Miranda stared at Irene with a pair ofprovocative eyes.

“What nonsense! A crazy woman like you should be kept behind barsuntil the day you die,” Hayden retorted as he glared at Miranda.

He then shifted his gaze to Skylar. This mother-and-daughter pair isunbelievably insolent! They dare to the banquet today, thinking thatthey have Tobias’ backing.

In the past, Skylar was just like a beggar when she came to ask formoney. The only difference between now and then is that this beggarnow wears a custom-made gown.

Miranda waved at Thomas, who knew he could not escape his fate. Atthat time, Avery appeared with a three-layer birthday cake.
