Chapter 509
As usual, Eva drove herself back and saw Sharon the moment she reached home. Her mother would
stay up until the moment she was back.
Sharon was about to make Eva something to eat, but her daughter stopped her and yelled, “I can’t even NôvelDrama.Org © content.
get myself a parking lot! Mom, when are we moving out of this area? A few of my friends have purchased
a new place!”
Irked by her daughter’s manner, Sharon paused and replied in a petulant manner, “Do you think that’s
possible when your brother has just spent the family’s savings for some stupid game? I can’t wait to
move out of this area as well, but can we afford it? As much as you earn, you have spent most of it
buying unnecessary designer items!”
Eva couldn’t stand Sharon getting overly worked up whenever the same topic was brought up. She was
conscious her mother was frustrated because Skylar had brought Miranda a villa.
Sharon had always complimented her daughter for being a capable woman and thought she would be
able to rely on her daughter soon. However, Sharon started picking on Eva and thought it would be way
more practical to get herself a rich son-in-law.
Eva said, “I have already approached Mr. Ford and resolved the issue on Kevin’s behalf. What the heck
is wrong with both of you? Skylar isn’t even a member of the family! Why have you approached her when
you’re conscious she wants nothing but the worst for us?”
Sharon returned to her daughter’s side with a pair of gleaming eyes when she heard the great news. She
asked, “Are you serious? Why hasn’t anyone gotten in touch with us yet? I was against the idea of
approaching Skylar, but I was afraid to get you involved as well!”
“Why would I lie to you? Mr. Ford had instructed those from the relevant department to proceed with the
refund once I brought it up in front of him.”
Sighing, Sharon asked, “I guess Tobias isn’t half bad, huh? Since you have been working alongside him
for a few months, can you tell if he has a thing for you? Although he’s currently in a relationship with
Skylar, we can’t be certain if they’re going to make it till the end. Don’t you think you stand a chance?”
Eva was afraid of letting her mother down. Thus, she replied with her shoulders shrugging, “I’ll try my
best, but I think it’s a mission impossible because he spends most of his time working. However, his
good-for-nothing brother has a lot of time to kill. In fact, he has just broken up with his girlfriend.”
“If that’s the case, hurry up and do something about it because I can’t stand your aunt having the best
time of her life anymore! I can’t believe she gets to live a better life than mine! Just when are you going
to make me proud?”
Eva went dead silent and thought of the alternatives she had. As long as Brayden refused to file for
divorce with his spouse, he would remain a backup plan of hers. Conscious of the things awaiting her in
spite of her capabilities, she knew it was time for her to get herself a wealthy better half. Otherwise, she
might end up like Susan when she was in her mid-thirties.
However, she was conscious of the reason behind Susan’s current condition. After spending years
working alongside the almighty Tobias, it would be impossible for her to fall for those inferior to him.
That happened to be the case for her because she was longer interested in those inferior to Tobias.
The next morning, Sharon logged into her bank account and had her eyes glued to the balance.
Throughout their breakfast, she had asked Eva over and over again. In the end, she muttered, “Is Tobias
going to go back against his promise?”
When Eva heard Sharon’s question, she found herself pitiable to be a member of such an inferior family.
Upon that, she replied irritatedly, “Why are you in such a hurry? He’s not going to embezzle the mere few
hundred thousand of yours, okay?”
