In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 566

Lauren wasn't aware why Hayden was interested in Kevin given that ithad nothing to do with her anyway. After all, she would be paid fiftythousand every time she brought him there. And that was a lot morethan she could earn working in a cafe. ...

Before Kevin went back upstairs, he had mentally prepared himself.Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and saw that Eva washome.

Without saying a word, Eva rushed over and slapped him hard on hisface.

Feeling heartbroken, Sharon looked toward her and reprimanded, “Eva,why did you slap him? He isn't sensible because he is still young. Healready feels bad enough. There's no need to slap him at all.”

Eva snapped, “Why are you still protecting him given how dire thecircumstances are? So what if he is still young? He shouldn't havegotten into that kind of trouble. He keeps making mistakes becauseyou have spoiled him. Kevin, you should have just stuck to playing withyour phone. Why did you start gambling? What makes you think thatyou can win given that you have never made any money before? Wehave never placed any hope on you to be successful, but at the veryleast, you shouldn't be holding us back.”

Eva hated how her parents spoiled Kevin just because he was a boy.They were so biased that it didn't matter what he did wrong.

However, Kevin reacted appropriately this time. He dropped to hisknees suddenly and cried. When no tears came out, he could onlydeclare in remorse, “Mom, Dad, Eva, I know I have messed up. I havebeen cheated and didn’t want this to happen either. I will definitely turnover a new leaf, so don't be angry at me anymore. I know I deserve tobe punished. I only acted that way because of the stress from mystudies. Therefore, I don't plan to continue with my exams. Instead, I'llstart working to pay back all the money I owe.”

Reaching out his hand to help Kevin up, Wesley remarked indisappointment, “Your actions have caused us to feel disheartened.Your sister is right, you really arent sensible. Given how young you are,how dare you act so brazenly. Tell me, if you don’t continue yourstudies, what else can you do?”

Eva was worried that she too would be dragged into Kevin's problemsgiven that her phone had been ringing non-stop since the morningKevin's creditors had started to call her and demand their money backbrutishly. In fact, even her colleagues received the calls, causing her tofeel humiliated.

Infuriated, Eva bellowed, “What's the use of apologizing? You should goand pay back your debt instead of dragging your family into it. Do youthink money grows on trees in our family?”

When she saw how furious Eva was, Sharon tried to assuage her anger,“There's no need for you to be so angry. Skylar would definitely help usas she is worried that we will sell the house. By using it to threaten her,she will definitely cough out the money willingly.”

Eva was dumbfounded at the fact that they assumed Skylar would beso easily convinced.

She sneered, “If Skylar really treated us like family and felt grateful tous, she wouldn't have ignored us the last time.”

Sharon furrowed her eyebrows. “Skylar told me today that she was theone who helped Kevin with the game credits the last time.”

Eva smirked. “I was the one who resolved it. Did you think she wouldhave helped? Looks like we have to force her hand by going to thepress. We can accuse her of forsaking her family after becomingfamous. She would then be left with no choice. But, I have to make itclear that this matter cannot be linked to me. After all, I work at theFord Group. If my boss knows that I am involved, I will hate all of youfor the rest of my life.”

Eva's gaze was both cold and cruel. As Wesley and Sharon exchangedglances, they felt that her idea sounded like a workable plan.

After all, every celebrity treasured their reputation, and Skylar woulddefinitely not want the matter to blow up.
