Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 313

The room fell silent, each person actually feeling relieved. After all, someone that unpredictable wasn’t exactly the picture of a strong heir.

Dennis's expression was less than pleased. “Aren’t you going to do something about this?”

“Oh, why bother? He’s young. Let him be free-spirited,” Fiona replied, with a carefree shrug. Her nonchalance left everyone else at a loss for words. After all, Fiona’s own lifestyle was rather unconventional.

Once the meeting wrapped up, Darcy caught up with Dennis in private.

“Alright, spill it. What groundbreaking discovery do you have?” Dennis asked, easing into a chair.

A servant thoughtfully brought them both some coffee.

Despite spending years abroad, the Hawke family’s roots were firmly planted in Ardenza, and Dennis always preferred his coffee with the original taste.

Darcy took a seat, pausing before he spoke. “I recently sent someone to hire a couple of talents from Ardenza. One is Marion, who attended a top global business school and generated enormous value even as a student. He quickly turned a no-name studio into a business empire spanning continents, a valuable commerce genius. However, he got caught up in some shady dealings and was imprisoned. But people worldwide keep an eye on him.

The other is the youngest lawyer with a 99.9% success rate, having worked with some of the most prestigious organizations, including the Virelia royal family. He’s known across the industry as a walking encyclopedia of law. However, he ended up in prison after crossing someone he shouldn’t have crossed and making some poor choices during evidence gathering. Rumor has it he went to jail willingly. Otherwise, he could have turned the tables on the prosecution.”

Dennis stood up, his face a canvas of disbelief. He was silent, lost in thought, and finally spoke after a short while, “If she orchestrated Alden’s family downfall…”

Darcy replied calmly, “They had it coming. They never did right by her. It’s nothing more than they deserved.”

They knew Miranda had been wrongly imprisoned for two years, which made it hard to muster any sympathy for Alden’s family. They felt a growing sense of awe towards Miranda.

“Besides, I suspect the real power behind those two is not the Lancaster Group, her instead.”
