NovelEnglishTobias was so efficient in his work that the notice was announced by the HR department quickly.
Skylar was reluctant to listen to Eva’s achievements as she admitted she was nowhere close to the
outstanding latter.
Not only did she have excellent results, she received love from her parents and her lover. She was a
natural beauty, and every relative deemed her to be successful.
In comparison, Skylar was just a pitiful child who had no one to take care of her.
Skylar brushed her off and said, “I know. I’ll figure it out myself. I’ll be off now… If there’s anything, hit
me up.”
Before she exited the house, she heard somebody knocking on the door. Thinking that it was the
delivery man, she opened the door with no hesitation.
At the door stood a few men in uniforms and peaked caps while the man in the middle was carrying a
bag.
Skylar asked in confusion, “Who are you guys looking for?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMiranda saw the police officers, but it was too late to flee. Lowering her head, she wished the earth
would swallow her up completely, hiding her from them.
One of the police officers asked, “Is this Miranda Watts’s house?”
Skylar didn’t reply and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you guys here to enumerate the residents?”
The police took out an arrest warrant. “We suspect that she broke out of prison, so we’re bringing her
back for an investigation.”
Skylar thought everything would be peaceful, so she was caught off guard by the sudden waves of
trouble crashing onto her.
Miranda lifted her head and pretended to be a fool. “You bad people! Where do you think you are
taking me? I’m not a criminal anymore, so why are you guys here?”
Sharon was listening to the movements outside the room and she felt relieved, knowing that Miranda
was going to be arrested.
What she wanted the most was for Miranda to rot in prison to save her family and herself some trouble.
Sharon praised her daughter happily, “My dear daughter, you’re so smart! We should’ve done this long
ago. Let’s see how long this woman can last.”
Eva chuckled, “You guys should learn to utilize the law. That way, she won’t get to stay in our house.”
Miranda was arrested by the police. When she was taken away, she was in handcuffs and many
residents saw everything that happened.
Everyone was gossiping, saying that she shouldn’t be pitied and deserved it, seeing how she got
arrested after being released for a short while.
With doubts in her mind, Skylar stood at the intersection as she stared at the police car speeding away.
Before Miranda was dragged away by the police officers, she held onto Skylar’s hand in a vice-like
death grip, with tears welling up in her eyes. The words she said only carried the reluctance of having
her freedom being snatched away from her once again.
Skylar followed the police car to the police station.
She wanted to learn about the situation, but she was blocked by the police officers at the entrance, so
she could only wait outside from evening until past midnight.
Shivering from the cold weather, she went to a convenience store nearby and bought a cup of hot

When she went back to the police station, she stopped a police officer in his tracks. He was one of
them who went to Wesley’s house to arrest Miranda.
Rushing her way to the police officer, she panted heavily, gasping for breath. “What’s the situation with
Miranda Watts? Can you please tell me?”
The police officer sympathized with the girl as she was waiting in such freezing weather outside.
He disclosed, “The results stated that she didn’t return to jail after her medical parole, so she
committed a crime against the law. She’ll be taken away to the prison she used to stay in tomorrow,
and she’ll be locked up now.”
Skylar’s heart sank, even though she was mentally prepared for the worst.
Miranda was sentenced to life imprisonment for committing intentional homicide, so there was no way
she would be released after a decade.
However, Skylar found it hard to accept that her mother would be taken away the next day.
She pursed her lips and said, “Is there a way to turn this around?”
The police officer answered, “I don’t think so, as there is evidence of her breaking out of the prison.
Young girl, the weather is freezing, so you should go back home. You can visit her when she’s in jail.
There’s no point in waiting as you won’t be able to meet her now.”
Skylar couldn’t figure it out. Everything was fine until now… How did the police officers find out?
