Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 308

Back in those school days, there was a new girl named Miranda who transferred to our school.

Because she had the same last name and bore a slight resemblance to the Hawke brothers, some of the other students suspected her of trying to mimic Arabella, and they began to ostracize and mock her.

I didn't know much about Miranda, but whenever I overheard people talking about her, I'd defend her a little.

Miranda never seemed to speak up for herself; it was always others talking about her. Unlike the other rich kids, she was different. She always seemed timid, trying to blend into the background and avoid attention.

Everyone knew her family favored boys over girls, and her unreasonable and overbearing parents caused others to steer clear of her.

She wasn't well-liked at our school. Whenever I happened to see her, I’d chat with her a bit, but she’d always quickly slip away each time she spotted me walking over.

After a few times, I stopped trying to reach out.

One day, purely by chance, I saw the guy who had once helped me out—he was picking her up. He looked a few years older than us but was more mature and composed than others his age.

"Hey, are you crushing on my brother?"

One day, Arabella suddenly appeared next to me.

"I've seen you looking at him quite a few times," she said with a playful squint in her eyes, like someone who clearly grew up in a world of comfort and privilege.

"So, do you want me to help you win him over?" she suggested with a smile.

I felt a bit shy and didn’t agree, but somehow, we ended up as friends. Well, I didn't really consider her a friend, but she always insisted we were.

"I've told you so many times, don't bring just anyone in front of me," he said coolly, sitting in the car with an indifferent gaze. "This kind of stuff really disgusts me."

I yelled at Dorian furiously because I couldn't stand someone treating another's feelings as something nasty. He let me down, and my idealized image of him shattered completely.

Dorian just looked at me without saying anything, but I could see a flicker of discomfort on his face.

Arabella, at that moment, didn't come to my defense. She just playfully stuck out her tongue. "I got it. I just wanted a sister-in-law."

Then she turned to me. "I tried to help you, but there's nothing more I can do. My brother's just like that."

With that, she hopped into the car and left with her brother. From that moment on, it was as if everyone had agreed tacitly to mock and roast me.
