In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 236

If their age were further apart, Kate would have already taken Amelia in as a goddaughter.

"Kate, I knew you'd bring me over as well if you jumped ship.” Amelia looked gratefully at Kate.

“I've laid the path for you until this point,” Kate said with a smile. “I'd never give up on you until you rise to the top.”

On the other hand, Skylar kept on getting Miranda's phone calls as she was extremely impatient. Even though Skylar was told to reach by four thirty, Miranda had been calling her since three thirty to rush her. Miranda also told Skylar that her cousin was back and asked her to pick her up at the station.

“It's not like she doesn't know the way. Why do I need to go pick her up?” Skylar was upset by her mother’s request.

“She said she brought too many gifts, so it's hard to carry everything,” Miranda responded.

In the end, Skylar took a deep breath and called a cab to the station to meet her cousin, Eva. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Once she reached the station, Skylar could already see Eva coming out of the train with a lot of bags with her.

Their gazes met, but neither of them showed any enthusiasm.

Skylar never liked Eva as she was always arrogant.

Having said that, Skylar did put some thought into it. She was not that narrow-minded, but she remembered how Eva would always ask their grandmother about her grades at the dining table when they were young.

Meredith would always react to Eva's question with a sigh and criticized Skylar in front of the relatives. She would say that Skylar already had nothing but still refused to work hard.

When Skylar was applying for Southwood Film Academy, Eva would always mock her decision, saying that it was a place for rich kids. And that she should just study something that could land her a job easier. The other option was to just quit school and head straight into sales for clothes and cosmetics to lighten the load on their grandmother since Skylar had grown up.

Eva would always look down on Skylar and criticized her actions while placing herself on the moral high ground.

“I'll get a cab,” Skylar told Eva as she took out her phone.

“There's no need. My boyfriend will come over to pick me up,” Eva stopped her.

Hearing that immediately got Skylar frustrated. What was Miranda doing? Why did she ask me to come help Eva when her boyfriend's already on it! No wonder she changed her internship location back here. It was for a boy!

Then, Eva took out her phone and made a call. A BMW X1 showed up not long after and honked.

“Let's go. He's here,” Eva said with a smile.

Hence, Skylar followed behind Eva, but her hands were empty since Eva already had someone helping her.

When they got on the car, Skylar self-consciously sat at the back and took out her phone from her bag.

“Hermés?" Eva asked as she looked back at Skylar's bag. “How much was it? Why are you using a counterfeit?”

Skylar picked up the bag to have a look, “For vanity I guess. You know me. I'm very prideful. No harm in getting a fake one to boost my image.”

“Work hard in the future and get a real one,” Eva smirked. "Using a counterfeit just feels so lowly. By the way, I heard you've gone back to school?

“Yeah. And the holidays are coming soon.”

Eva sighed. “Poor Grandma worked her life away for you. Even her retirement fund was spent on you. To be honest, you should've never gone to that school. When Grandma passed away, she only had three thousand left in her bank.” Eva was placing herself on a moral high ground once again, criticizing Skylar as if she herself were a saint. “Your dad took that last three thousand,” Skylar spoke nonchalantly.
