Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 119

"Bella's got a point, doesn't she? I mean, what's the big deal about not being blood-related? It's not like Bella, with four brothers doting on her."

"So, is Miranda President Lancaster's biological daughter or just adopted?"

"No clue, but their bond seems strong. I mean, Hannah used to be the epitome of grace, and now look at her."

"Adopted or not, she's still got inheritance rights, right? I mean, President Lancaster doesn't have kids, and Miranda's the only daughter. She's the true Ms. Lancaster."

"Honestly, why do you care if she's biological or not? You talk too much. Sometimes I wonder if you were adopted."

Lysander's face went sour as he shot Arabella a warning look. He gazed at his foster sister whose features took a resemblance to them by doing cosmetic surgery. It was a reminder of her own roots - she wasn't their biological sister either. So what was she going on about?

Meanwhile, after Miranda answered the host's questions, the host moved on to engage the other guests - Sebastian and the director - before turning his attention to the Shadow Reapers.

The captain of the Shadow Reapers, with a gentle smile, stated, "My team has worked hard. I believe we'll do well. But win or lose, we've all given it our best shot. Everything happens for a reason."

Miranda arched an eyebrow. Rumor had it that the club behind the Shadow Reapers was on the brink of bankruptcy. Should she suggest to Marion that they buy it out?

The contrasting situations of the two teams sparked a heated debate online. One team had a member who seemed to coast along, relying gloatingly on connections, while the other team was dedicated and meticulous, each member pulling their weight. No one was a quiet quitter, and there were merely passionate and fervent.

Naturally, this clash of values stirred up quite a storm.

The show's producers seized the moment, launching a discussion on whether to give up or strive harder when faced with what people weren’t adept at, igniting lively conversations.

Orion opened his mouth to protest but relented. "I understand."

This issue had become a thorn in their collective conscience. Somehow, Miranda, once an afterthought, had become someone they couldn't ignore.

"Maybe we shouldn't have made her take the blame," Alistair murmured, the thought having haunted him for years.

Every time Miranda threw it in his face, it filled him with a mix of fear and distress. Over the years, he'd bent the law more times than he cared to admit, often at Arabella's behest. But now, Miranda's accusations made him expressly uneasy.

Dorian took a deep breath and said slowly, "Given the circumstances, it seemed like the only option."
