Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 322

Miranda couldn't be bothered to respond to Carter, just gazing out the window instead.

Even though Zephra was also a major city, wealthy in its own right, it paled in comparison to the bustling vibrancy of Virell.

Virell was teeming with people from all over the globe, and it seemed like the security was a notch above as well.

Despite Miranda's clear disinterest in a conversation with Carter, the latter’s mouth just kept running.

"Miranda, you live alone in that big house of yours?"

Without even lifting an eyelid, she muttered, "Yeah."

"And your parents?"

Miranda replied, "Gone."

Carter fell silent for a moment. "I'm sorry."

Miranda uttered, "It's fine."

"What about other family? Like siblings or cousins?" Carter just couldn't hide his curiosity towards Miranda.

"They're gone too," Miranda responded.

Carter was taken aback, realizing she might have it worse than he did.

"Your entire family’s dead, that must be tough," he commented.

Miranda was at a loss for words, unsure if he was being naïve or just plain foolish.

"Blood relatives are gone, but the others are alive and kicking," she added dryly.

Carter assumed she was just trying to hide her sadness. "Don't be sad. Why not consider me family? Then you won't be alone anymore," he suggested boldly.

"You know how to shoot?" Carter asked, surprised, as Miranda opened the car door. He swiftly pulled over, disembarked the car and caught up with her.

"Why are you following me?" she questioned, confused.

"I've got nowhere else to be anyway, so I'm tagging along," he replied, sticking close like a shadow.

As they approached, Carter caught a whiff of a faint, pleasant scent on her, something herbal; he found it soothing as he sniffed.

Normally the club had a strict entry policy, requiring member identification. Miranda’s entry was seamless, thanks to the connections from Zephra and possibly some military nods, though she wasn’t sure of the details. Free access was good enough for her.

Carter, however, wasn’t on the list and had to sign up on the spot, excitedly joining her inside.

"I’ve got to say, this place is massive. I've driven by so many times but never stopped in," Carter marveled, taking in the range. With his striking silver hair, he was drawing plenty of attention.

Miranda had heard from Hannah and Caius that clubs in Virell were frequented by military and government families, and the shooters here were top-notch among other ranges, making this place a hub of expertise.
