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.
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.”
