Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 196

Celeste looked a bit awkward. Could she actually admit she wasn’t satisfied?

Because truthfully, she wasn’t. Getting into a video call only to get embarrassed wasn’t exactly her idea of fun.

But she still managed to keep her cool as she said to Miranda in an icy tone, “If Ms. Lavinia Lancaster is willing to give you money to spend, it shows her generosity. But you spending it like there's no tomorrow makes you an ungrateful brat!”

Miranda eyed Celeste up and down. “Are you hard of hearing?”

Celeste quickly caught on, “How am I supposed to know if you're telling the truth?”

Miranda found if amusing. “Do I need to prove anything to you? Besides, what if I’m spending her money? If you’re so jealous, go ahead and call the cops.”

That mocking tone struck a nerve, and Celeste’s expression turned even more sour.

There really wasn’t anything she could do. That money wasn’t hers. All she could do was complain a bit.

Even after she told Ms. Lavinia Lancaster, it was clear she didn’t care. Miranda’s words made her feel like a complete fool.

“I’m not jealous!” she blurted out, embarrassed and frustrated.

But she couldn’t find anything else to throw back at Miranda. She ended up muttering callously, “Shameless.”

Miranda raised an eyebrow. “Not as shameless as you, even meddling in how others spend their money.”

Celeste was fuming. She turned her gaze to Elian. “Eli, did you see what kind of person she is?”

Sebastian’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a smirk playing on his lips as if he was watching a show.

Elian looked annoyed. “I’ve told you, we’re not that close. Stop calling me like that, it’s annoying.”

Sebastian’s lips curled into a smile. “Really? But I remember, Celeste knows you pretty well, aren’t you two childhood sweetheart?”

“You two are really lowering yourself, hanging out with someone like her. I’m embarrassed for you!”

Miranda frowned, the glint in her eyes turning icy.

Caius’s expression was cold. Hannah, full of pride, shot back, “Why don’t you buy me three million dollars’ worth of jewelry, and then we won’t need you to be embarrassed for us. Talking to you is what’s embarrassing. My Mira is beautiful, kind-hearted, generous and loaded. Unlike you, who can’t compare to Mira in any way but still feels the need to criticize. It’s pathetic.”

Hannah’s final jab was delivered with a look of disdain. The chill in Caius’s demeanor melted away. Ah, satisfying.

Hannah had known Miranda long enough that, even if she hadn’t picked up many other skills, she’d certainly learned how to dish out a good comeback.

After her retort, she glanced at Miranda, looking for praise. Miranda’s eyes twinkled with amusement. She readily complimented, “Impressive.”

Hannah beamed with pride, giggling as she moved a little closer to Miranda.
