In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 512

Winnie's wrath was written all over her face. She warned Skylar with herteeth clenched, “Stop playing pretend in front of me! You were the onebehind the scenes at the place of the Fords! You won't get to becomeone of the Fords because Tobias will never marry you!”

Skylar forced a smile and asserted, “Oh? Why would I want to join thehousehold of the Fords when Tobias had given me everything I sought?Speaking of which, have you no shame as a fellow woman? Why don'tyou stay away from Sheldon when he has made himself clear it's overbetween you and him?”

Skylar had rubbed salt into Winnie's wound. As a result, Winnie yelled,“Thanks for your concerns, but that's none of your business becausewe're just fine! Why don’t you mind your business instead of being abusybody, listening to baseless accusations from others?”

Shrugging her shoulders, Skylar announced, “Am I not supposed toreturn the favor when you have expressed your concerns over myrelationship with Tobias?”

Winnie could barely suppress her wrath and started stomping her feet.She felt a strong urge to take out the woman in front of her becauseshe would be having a great time in life if Skylar hadn't gotten in herway.

In the meantime, Skylar noticed a bunch of paparazzi had shown upand started following her the moment she stepped out of the company.Although it was something she had to deal with being a public figure,she found it unbearable since she would have to carry herself in anelegant manner at all times. Otherwise, she would make it to theheadline for something negative.

Once she boarded the MPV that was parked nearby, she headed overto Miranda's place.

When Skylar showed up, she saw her mother on the couch, watchingtelevision with a plate of fruits on the coffee table.

Ever since she was released, she became a television addict and binge-watched a few melodramas.

Little did Skylar know it was an attempt to make up for the time shespent behind bars since convicts weren't allowed to have screen timewhen they were serving sentences.

Skylar brought the things she purchased from a nearby supermarketinto the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator, she noticed therewas not a single speck of dust inside.

She then turned around and asked the weeping woman on the couch,“Aren't you supposed to get yourself something to cook? What do youeat on a daily basis when there's nothing for you to cook?”

Miranda, who was completely immersed in the melodrama,deadpanned her reply. “It's quite a hassle to visit the supermarketbecause I don't have a car. I'll just get someone else to deliver my meal.It's not a big deal as long as I have my phone with me. Besides, you'rethe one paying since your credit card has been authorized forpayment.”

Why does she behave as though she’s done nothing wrong when herlife is completely messed up because of her negligence?

Well, I guess I'm finally having a taste of my own medicine, huh? Is thishow Tobias has been feeling whenever I behave in a similar manner?Then, Skylar started sorting the things she had purchased withouttaking a breather. On the other hand, Miranda had no intention to offerher help.

When the episode she had been watching ended, she walked into thekitchen and announced, “Our neighbors have been greeting me eversince Empyrean Sword airs.”

Skylar, who was in the middle of doing the dishes, wiped her hands dryand asked, “They have figured out our relationship because of you,haven't they? Mom, can you please lie low instead of garneringunnecessary attention?”

Her mother found her dramatic and said, “Can’t I be proud of myexceptional daughter? My friends had distanced themselves from methe moment I was thrown behind bars! I'm going to prove the realisticbunch wrong!”

Miranda had always enjoyed showing off. The years she spent behindbars hadn't changed that bad habit of hers.
