In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 297

Something is off. There’s no way the man would agree to such a ridiculous idea. Skylar questioned further, “Did you blackmail Thomas Jones to force him to divorce his wife and remarry you?”

Her question caught Miranda off guard. However, Miranda played dumb and chuckled. “What are you talking about? I am an ex-convict. How am I supposed to blackmail him? Your dad feels guilty for what he did, so he wants to make compensation.”

After hearing what Miranda said, Skylar burst into sarcastic chuckles. How can she say that with a straight face?

Thomas Jones was never a soft-hearted man. Instead, he was selfish and merciless. If he meant to compensate them, he would’ve done it years ago.

Skylar recalled her difficult childhood. She had lived a careful and frugal life since she was young. She would’ve been long dead if it weren’t for Grandma. Thomas was never there for her. He just left her to fend herself. He only cared about his new family. He brought the entire family on overseas tours and gave them everything they wanted. He even bought Avery a yacht on her tenth birthday.

Skylar’s heart ached when she recalled what the merciless man had done to her and her mother. She knew Miranda was stubborn as a mule. It seemed that she was unable to get anything out of Miranda.

Anyhow, Skylar gave her a gentle reminder. “Thomas Jones is having a hard time now. His company is in the red and it’s on the brink of bankruptcy. You, of all people, should know that the only person who can help him is Irene Ziegler, with the power of the Ziegler family. I’ve told you whatever you need to know. If you keep being stubborn, there’s nothing else I can do.”

Miranda sneered at her statements. She didn’t believe a word. A smart, successful businessman like Thomas would never let anything bad happen to his company. Even if the company had some issues, they would be child’s plays to Thomas.

Although Miranda didn’t give any response, her eyes were filled with determination. Right then, Skylar knew that Miranda had made up her mind and whatever she said earlier had gone down the drain.

Thomas would never divorce Irene Ziegler unless he was ready to give up his life.
