In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 452

The news about Skylar buying a house for Miranda reached Wesley and the neighbors’ ears in no time.

None of them expected a shy and quiet girl like Skylar would grow up to be someone so capable. She used to hang her head low wherever she went and would not interact with anyone. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Everyone started envying Miranda. Even after spending so many years in jail, she still managed to get her life together.

Some of the nosy neighbors even searched up the price of the house. They were flabbergasted when they found out it cost three thousand five hundred every square foot.

Since the house was ten thousand square feet, which meant Skylar paid thirty-six million in total.

Sharon was all jealous whenever the neighbors started talking about Skylar, she even showed displeasure when they complimented Skylar. Eva, who had just got out of the bathroom, beckoned her home. “Mom, it's time we eat! I still need to go back to the company later. The new CEO is so useless that everybody has to go back and do overtime.” Sharon was thrilled to hear that. “I didn't know Ford Group has a new CEO. Does that mean Tobias was sacked by the company?”

"Pfft, sacked? No way. The new CEO is Mr. Ford's younger brother, but he doesn't really do anything. Although nobody knows what's with the new arrangement, I don't think anyone will be able to really oust Tobias.”

Gloom settled over Sharon's face. The image of Miranda's beautiful house came to her mind, making her blood boil. She was so upset two sores popped up in her mouth and her throat started feeling burning. She looked at her daughter and anger shot up her head. “Can't you just work harder? We should buy ourselves a villa too. It's not like we want to stay in this small place forever.”

Beside her, Wesley chomped away as he gave his daughter a thumb's up. “I think Eva is doing a good job already though. You should appreciate her. It's not like everyone is as lucky as Skylar.”

Sharon slammed her cutlery against the table at the mention of Skylar's name. “Don’t even talk about her. Didn't you see your sister's face when she bragged about her new house? It's not like she bought it on her own. The neighbors are all talking about how nice of a daughter Skylar is.”

"Of course, Skylar bought it for her. I heard she even paid for everything in one go.” Wesley did not see anything wrong with it.

Eva broke out laughing. “Do you think she really has that much money on her own? She became rich because she’s been sleeping with Tobias. She's only started acting for a while, there's no way she'll be able to afford a house like that.”

Sharon nodded fervently and said in a jealous tone, “Exactly. Eva will never do something like this. She doesn't earn money with her body but with her brain. Miranda and Skylar just make me want to puke.” Eva could not accept how things were going so well for Skylar, who was undoubtedly living a successful life while she was still desperate to get things to work out between her and Brayden.

She knew Brayden was already married. Although Eva might also get a villa if she latched on to Brayden, he would never divorce her wife since it would mean his business would suffer tremendous loss.

She did not want to end up like Penelope. She gave birth to Brayden’s child, but he did not even help her out financially.

Penelope took the wrong step and failed to see what would really help her keep Brayden by her side.

Meanwhile, Sharon was still feeling jealous of Skylar.

“Eva, aren't celebrities afraid of scandals? You should post something online. I'll see how long she can hang in there.”

“It's not that easy. I'll be good as dead if I do that. All the IP addresses are traceable. Skylar's agency will definitely know it's me.”

Sharon ground her teeth in agony as her resentful gaze darted around her house. She really wanted to move out of this shabby place.
