In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 541

Hannah’s jaw nearly dropped. Why did Tobias buy such a cheap gift for Skylar? He was loaded; he could clearly

afford to purchase something much better than a piece of jewelry that must have cost peanuts to him.

Yet, Skylar greatly treasured the necklace. She’s way too easy to please.

The driver made a U-turn and headed back for the studio, but none of the staff members managed to find the

necklace.

The only way Skylar could comfort herself was that Tobias hadn’t personally picked out the gift.

Thus, she could just buy a gift of equal value for Tobias and call it even.

On the way back, Skylar discovered that the video of her getting forcibly kissed from yesterday was still trending

online.

I thought the company already paid people to remove the video from the trending page? Why is it still there?

I’ve been humiliated enough already.

She chucked her phone back into her bag, closing her eyes as she leaned back against the car seat, feeling

exasperated.

“This has to be someone’s doing. Someone working for the social media platforms must have been paid off to

make the video trend again.”

Hannah hadn’t considered that possibility at all. “I’m sure it must be the same guy from yesterday. Only people who

are truly sick in the head would have the audacity to do such a thing.”

“That’s what you think,” Skylar huffed. “The situation only appears to have calmed down. Keyword, ‘appears.’ There

has to be someone who’s out to sabotage my career.”

“You’re being way too pessimistic. People are mostly good — not everyone harbors evil intentions. All we’ve been

doing is minding our own business, and we haven’t offended anyone or crossed any lines we shouldn’t have.”

At that, Skylar rolled her eyes. After so long of being her assistant, Hannah was still way too naïve and innocent.

In a way, she envied the woman for it. The less you overthink about life, the easier life becomes for you.

After notifying her company, they helped to remove the video from the trending page once more. Skylar decided

that she would pay a visit to the center where the assailant was being locked up and ask him if he’d been acting on

anyone’s orders.

Skylar saw Miranda and Madelyn chatting as soon as she got home. Unlike her daughter, Miranda was a friendly

and open person, able to strike up a conversation with just about anybody.

Upon seeing Skylar step through the door, Madelyn got up and headed to the kitchen to make preparations for

dinner. Miranda then requested for her to cook pumpkin soup in a very specific way that she liked.

It didn’t take long for Madelyn to realize that Skylar’s mother was turning out to be quite hard to handle. Skylar had

never once ordered her around like this in all her time of living together. The woman would eat anything she

cooked.

What a stark contrast between a mother and daughter.

“At least let me go upstairs and change my clothes,” Skylar grumbled when Miranda gestured for her to sit down

next to her. “Why are you here?”

“I’m worried about you,” Miranda replied, clutching onto Skylar’s wrist and refusing to let go. “I saw the news. Was

Tobias upset? I really think you should quit the entertainment industry; no one likes to see their daughter making

public appearances like that, much less your future mother-in-law.”

It had just been a lighthearted suggestion, but Skylar instantly lashed out at her after hearing it. “Are you kidding

me? I’m not even married yet! Do you know how much your expenses cost me each month? Do you think you’ll still

be able to use those Lamer skincare products if I ever lose my job?”
