Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Miranda deliberately left sentences hanging, a trick that was enough to set the Hawke family on edge, especially Arabella, whose eyes were filled with guilt and fear. Even though Dorian and the others were confident that the past was buried without a trace, and they could also dismiss Miranda's words for having no substantial proof, they still felt a twinge of guild; beneath the surface, there was more than just apprehension at play.

Dorian narrowed his eyes, focusing intently on the live stream that was playing out. The director, as if sensing something, quickly cut the broadcast. The abrupt end only fueled the frenzy online, where viewers erupted with questions and speculations.

"???"

"What just happened? What happened to the live broadcast?"

"Is it over? What does Miranda mean by that? What happened two years ago. Finish the story!"

"This can't be scripted. They wouldn't cut the stream if it was."

"Wait a minute! The drama didn't finish? Did Miranda just imply Arabella is adopted? Really?! Someone get me the rest of the story! I'm in super confusion here."

"Insiders have mentioned before that Miranda claimed more that once that Arabella isn't a real Hawke. Could it be true?"

"So Miranda is the real daughter, and Arabella's been an impostor? What's she been flaunting then? Does she feel so proud of snatching someone else's parents and brothers?"

"If that's true, Arabella's beyond repulsive. Who mocks someone else for being adopted when they're the impostor? What a two-faced wretch."

"No wonder Miranda and Arabella always fight; there's deep-rooted drama here! What was she thinking showing off the brothers that aren't even hers? Is Arabella acting like she's the protagonist in some soap opera?"

"Arabella even got plastic surgery to look like Miranda. It's all adding up now, she wants to completely replace her!"

"Poor Miranda, having to deal with such parents and brothers."

"I'm feeling so distressed for Miranda, Arabella should have had that kind of life with the Zade family instead of Miranda."

The internet was ablaze, with "Real Miranda Fake Arabella" trending faster and in few seconds, topped the list. Meanwhile, Arabella, seemingly losing her grip, lunged at Miranda.

"Shut your mouth! You're just babbling!"

Eyes blood-red,she stretched and tried to strike Miranda, only to be intercepted by Sebastian. Sebastian's frosty gaze froze her in place, and Arabella, desperate, turned to him in tears. "She's slandering me."

But the moment she finished, Miranda delivered a sharp slap on her face. Whether Sebastian let go intentionally or not, Arabella landed on the floor with a thud.

Frowning, Miranda shook her hand. "You just can't resist walking into trouble, can you?"

Covering her face, Arabella glared at Miranda, her eyes burning with hatred as if she wished she could tear her apart. The onlookers, even celebrities, were too stunned to intervene, though their curiosity kept them glued to the scene.

The director, realizing the gravity of

the situation, quickly dispersed the

crowd. He understood this was probably a family matter that needed privacy, as both the

vel

Lancaster and Hawke families could cause trouble for him if the scene

was broadcast live.

Escalating things up was the last thing he wanted, for fear that he might lose his job otherwise. It was better to leave their personal matter handled by themselves.

The room was cleared rapidly, leaving Sebastian, Miranda, Lysander and Arabella in the studio, while Arabella noticed the onlookers were less, anger and resentment in her eyes palpable, no longer masked by any pretense.

"Even if you're the real Hawke daughter, so what? Will they recognize you?" Arabella addressed venomously, "Compared with me, you are nothing to them, and others won't believe I'm an impostor!"

She shifted her tone, perhaps trying to manipulate the remaining audience of Lysander and

Sebastian. "Mom, Dad, and the boys love me. You're jealous and using the despicable scheme against me won't change that! It would only make them hate you more!"

It was as if she was accusing Miranda set her up out of the latter's jealousy. Miranda cocked her head.

"What're you blabbering about? Why would I want the love of a bunch of jerks?"

Lysander seemed momentarily lost, snapping back to reality at Miranda's words. He looked between Arabella and Miranda.

"Enough!" Lysander shouted. "What are you trying to do?"

Even though he was starting to

question Arabella's story, Lysander felt compelled to defend her. Arabella seized the moment, playing the victim once more. "Lysander, it's my fault. She hates me, so she took it out on you and the family
