Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 176

Everyone seemed to be in this weird state of wanting to befriend Miranda, yet being a little frightened by her at the same time.

It all started when one brave girl decided to make the first move and approach Miranda for a chat. With that initial icebreaker out of the way, others slowly mustered up the courage to do the same.

Today, Miranda couldn't shake off the feeling that something was a bit off at school. Everywhere she went, it seemed like people were "accidentally" bumping into her.

For instance, while passing through the hallway to the restroom, a girl would "accidentally" collide with her, profusely apologizing with a sheepish grin, eager to introduce herself and her major before scurrying off.

Or, in the cafeteria, another girl would suddenly stumble and fall into Miranda’s arms, blushing and murmuring, “Miranda, you smell so lovely.”

Miranda was left wondering secretly, "Did I somehow travel back in time to a medieval court, where the queen's ladies-in-waiting vied for attention in the garden?"

Meanwhile, in a private school chat group.

[Darling Miranda Lancaster]: "I knew it, Miranda is just the sweetest thing ever!!"

[MirandaTouched]: "She’s so easy to talk to! Like an actual angel! I bumped into her, and she wasn’t even mad!"

[TrueFanHere]: "Finally talked to my idol! I've printed out her quotes about the Hawke siblings to memorize!"

[HawkeHater]: "I just wanna play video games with Miranda! I want her to carry me!"

…

Blaming Arabella, he thought, if she hadn’t seduced him into getting intimate, and then left him hanging, he wouldn’t have looked elsewhere.

Mrs. Blackwell was exasperated, a picture of utter disappointment. “With your track record, how do you expect Miranda to take you seriously? You want to pursue her? In this situation, you’ll only embarrass her. Do you think the Lancaster family will let it slide?”

Theo’s face turned sour, anger simmering beneath the surface.

“Who did this?”

“Who cares who did it? Everyone’s calling you a jerk now! Your declaration of love for Miranda is all over town. The Lancaster Group, Mr. Ashcroft, and Sebastian have all put the word out in the circle. Our family’s social standing is plummeting! From now on, keep your distance from Miranda!”
