Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 195

It was as if she was trying to show off how well she knew Lavinia.

"Long time no see, Ms. Lavinia Lancaster."

Lavinia's bright smile faded instantly. "Oh, it's you, Celeste, isn't it? What's up?"

The difference in treatment was painfully obvious. Anyone could tell how Lavinia treated Miranda and Celeste differently. With such a distinction, it was only right for Miranda to spend money.

It was not like Lavinia had any objections, so why was Celeste making a fuss? Even though no one dared to speak up against Celeste, everyone was whispering in their hearts.

Celeste frowned, saying, "Ms. Lavinia Lancaster, isn't Miranda spending a bit too much? Even though it's your money, she's using it to curry favor with people. Buying jewelry to give away to this person and that, isn't that a bit much? It's like she's using your money to play Santa Claus."

Lavinia blinked, and then glanced over at Miranda.

Celeste looked smug. Surely, Lavinia would be displeased.

"Sweetheart, who have you been gifting? I haven't seen any records of your spending."

Though Lavinia had given Miranda the substantial sum, the card was linked to her phone. She received notifications for every purchase. But she hadn't seen any records of her daughter buying things.

Hannah chimed in voluntarily, "She gave it to me, Aunt Lavinia."

"And me," said another voice, drawing Lavinia's attention.

Lavinia was taken aback. Then she chuckled. "Mr. Elian Ashcroft got a part too?"

Elian curled his lips upward. "Though, I haven't picked mine yet."

Lavinia looked between Elian and Miranda. Could it be that Elian and her daughter had a closer relationship?

Just then, another voice piped up, "And me."

Lavinia turned to see the man approaching, shocked. "Sebastian?"

Others turned to look at Sebastian as well. He sauntered over, glass of red wine in hand, glanced at Elian, and then settled his gaze on Miranda.

She could barely contain her exultation. She knew there was something in the way Sebastian looked at her daughter.

Miranda shifted her gaze from Sebastian and finally spoke, "I didn't use the money you gave me, Godmom."

Lavinia exclaimed, "Oh?"

Miranda smiled. "I have a bit of my own, so I haven't used yours yet."

Lavinia didn't press further, and just sighed, "Alright, but if you run short, remember I’m here for you."

"Will do." Miranda chuckled, exchanged a few pleasantries with Lavinia, and ended the video call.

Everyone around was stunned. A bit of her own? Buying millions worth of jewelry and she called it “a bit”?

But they understood now, Miranda hadn't used President Lancaster's money. She was spending her own.

Miranda put her phone away and turned to Celeste with a smile. "Satisfied now, Ms. Sterling?"
