Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 325

Carter stepped forward, feeling an unexpected surge of responsibility. He couldn't just stand by and let Miranda be bullied, so he was about to speak up.

"Who am I? I’m your maker. You can also call him that," Miranda said coolly.

Carter blinked in shock as he stared at Miranda. Was she seriously trash-talking like that? So direct? So bold? Why did she have this strange obsession with calling people out like that?

Celeste was furious, but against Miranda's sharp tongue, she found herself at a loss for words. She lunged forward, raising her hand to slap Miranda.

But before she could, Carter caught her wrist.

"Hey, let's just talk it out, no need for violence," Carter urged. "She doesn't actually mean she wants to be your maker, you know? It's more like a, uh, hypothetical one."

Miranda chimed in, "Exactly. It's like when I say your mother’s out of the picture, it doesn't mean she actually is, right?"

Carter regretted his words instantly, almost on the verge of tears. Why did he have to open that can of worms? Was she really so unscrupulous? This Miranda, she was something else!

Celeste's eyes blazed with anger. She raved, "You bitch! Does Eli know you're like this? You two are just trash! I bet you're just some sleazy girl who goes around seducing men. If he knew what you were really like, he wouldn't want anything to do with you!"

Miranda couldn't be bothered to argue with Celeste. She simply called her "retarded" and turned to leave.

She just disliked Celeste, because who would like someone who targeted them on the first meeting? Especially since Celeste had tried to mess with her online a few times. It was nothing serious, so Miranda didn't feel the need to deal with her beyond a few choice words.

The manager stood there, wide-eyed and speechless.

"Stop right there!" Hugo commanded sternly, his face darkening. "I said stop!"

Miranda didn't even acknowledge him. But when Hugo shouted again, she paused, turning to the dazed Carter. "What are you standing there for? Planning to stay and dine with them?"

Carter snapped out of it and hurried after her.

Being completely ignored only made Hugo's expression grow darker. "Hold her down!" he barked.

The manager quickly interjected, "No, no, let's just talk about this, Mr. Bartley."

He had hoped to calm things down, but the bodyguards were already advancing toward Miranda.
