Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 100

Alden fell silent.

"Never mind, I have faith in the way we've raised Bella. She could never be like the Zade family," Mrs. Hawke said, but even as she spoke, doubt was taking root in her mind, impossible to ignore.

She was especially worried about the possibility of Arabella siphoning off the Hawke family's resources to benefit the Zades. So, she'd started tightening the reins on Arabella's allowance.

"Let's trust Bella," Alden nodded, his voice serious. "Besides, if anything goes wrong with her right now, it could impact our family too."

Mrs. Hawke sighed, "I know, I just worry. If she were our own flesh and blood, maybe we wouldn't be facing this issue."

Alden felt a surge of frustration whenever Miranda came to mind.

"Enough, let's not dwell on this. We raised her ourselves, and what's done is done. Miranda's never going to be on the same page as our family."

At the Hawke Group's NeuraCore building, Dorian frowned upon hearing Arabella's words. It hadn’t bothered him before, but now Arabella's demeanor struck him as overly dramatic.

Her possessive statement also rubbed him the wrong way. Why couldn’t he have another sister? Miranda was his actual blood relative, after all.

Meanwhile, at the law firm, Alistair watched the live stream with a darkened expression.

For some reason, hearing Arabella casually speak about their connection always brought his thoughts back to Miranda. And whenever he thought of Miranda, his mood soured.

His assistant chuckled, saying, "Your sister is adorable."

Alistair gave a faint smile and replied, "Is she now."

"Wow! Who's that girl? She's stunning!" the assistant exclaimed suddenly. Alistair turned his gaze to the live stream.

On the screen, a girl in sunglasses and casual overalls walked confidently toward the recording studio. Her high ponytail and youthful glow practically leapt out from the screen. Even with the sunglasses, her fair skin seemed to reflect the sunlight, drawing all eyes to her.

When Miranda appeared, she immediately captured everyone’s attention.

"What a stunning lady!!”

The second group consisted of new Miranda fans, drawn in by her straightforwardness, sharp wit, and modesty.

The third group was Arabella’s supporters, picking apart everything about Miranda.

They claimed she had plastic surgery, or that she manipulated President Lancaster to cozy up to the wealthy.

Simultaneously, many mysterious accounts began boosting Miranda’s popularity, quickly catapulting her to the top spot.

Rocket donations flowed continuously. The audience was stunned.

Those mysterious accounts.

Weren't they owned by the low-key yet wealthy heirs and heiresses?

Was she really that popular? Was her network really that vast?
