Eva urged, “I’ve made it so clear. Just call the police and let them take Aunt Miranda away. There must
be some mistakes in the procedures causing her to be freed from custody. Once the police officers look
into this matter, she’ll be taken back to where she was.”
Now that Eva had mentioned it clearly, she took out her phone and handed the task of reporting Miranda
to her parents.
Sharon chickened out and elbowed Wesley. “She’s your sister, so you should report her.”
Looking at the numbers 999 on the phone screen, Wesley hesitated as he raised his hand and put it
back down soon after. Miranda was his sister, and she had been taking care of him since they were
young. Now that she was out of prison, he felt reluctant to send her back in.
His conscience wouldn’t let him take the phone while his heart was conflicted, but Miranda living in his
house had brought them a lot of inconveniences. His house wasn’t that big to begin with and ever since
Miranda stayed there, Sharon had been quarreling with him every day while their son was forced to stay
at the school dorm.
Sharon glared at her husband and said, “You’re so useless. Just take the phone. How hard could it be?”
Eva added fuel to the fire. “Dad, you’re not betraying Aunt Miranda. You’re just carrying out your duties
as a good citizen. She doesn’t seem like she suffered in the prison. We’re not reporting her. Instead,
we’re helping her to find a better place.”
Listening to Eva’s words, Wesley finally mustered the courage and took the phone. However, he gave
the phone to Sharon after hesitating for a few minutes.
His wife was so furious that she scolded, “Coward!”
She took the phone and reported to the police, saying that an inmate escaped and came to their house,
threatening their lives. Giving the address to the police officers, she urged them to come capture the
inmate as soon as possible.
After reporting to the police, Sharon felt so relaxed that she started humming a tune.
Now, there won’t be any outsider in our house.
Ever since Miranda stayed with them, not only did she feel suffocated, she lost her appetite and even
had trouble sleeping at night.
Having stress weighing upon her every day, blisters appeared at the corner of her lips and it was getting
on her nerves. She wished for the death of Miranda so badly.
Eva said wistfully, “We’re so unlucky to have someone like her as our relative. She’s dragging everyone
down. Kevin can’t become a civil servant if he wants, while I can’t pass the background checks of the
government. This is all because of Aunt Miranda, but why are we the ones taking the blame for it?”
Sharon widened her eyes in surprise. “Damn this Miranda! Dragging us down like this.”
Then she shifted the blame to Wesley and scolded, “It’s all because of your family members. I’m so
unlucky to be married to you.”
Meanwhile, Miranda asked, “Skylar, are you hungry? They are eating meat fondue next door. Do you
want some?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Skylar shook her head. “Not really. If they really want us to join, they could’ve asked.”
Miranda smiled and said, “You’re quite arrogant. Are you getting along well with the man who gave me
the card? His wife’s giving birth soon, but you’re still involved with him. Well, I think you should break up
with him and find another to spend your life with.”
Hearing these words from Miranda, Skylar was shocked. In the past, Miranda had always wanted her
daughter to marry someone rich, so that she could enjoy the rest of her life in fortune and wealth.
She didn’t tell Miranda about everything, as it was way too hard to explain.
Checking the time on her phone, she got up from the couch. “I have to go. Did you call me here just to
admire how beautiful your new gown is?”
Miranda tried to make her stay. “Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I told you I have good news to
share. Eva is going to work in an international company as the CEO’s assistant and she’s about to get
married. You’ll need to come up with a plan for your life.”
Miranda seemed more like a mom now, as she treated Skylar better.
Listening to Miranda mentioning Eva, Skylar recalled seeing Eva’s photo on the coffee table last night.
