Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 373

Miranda's words left Carter momentarily stunned. They echoed in his mind.

What did that place have to do with her anyway?

After dropping that line, Miranda walked away without a hint of hesitation, as if she didn't care at all.

"She didn't even ask about the Hawke family," Darcy would say. "Not even a bit curious."

Carter felt a pang of frustration.

Being the heir to the Hawke family should be far more enticing than any other family, even more than the Lancaster family.

Especially since she was a Hawke by blood.

It was her rightful place.

“Such a waste. She’s incredibly talented. In the current generation of the Hawke family, no one holds a candle to her skills. Even if she just took a nominal role and let her team handle things, they'd outperform the others by a mile.”

He was, of course, referring to Marion.

If Miranda returned to the family, Marion would naturally join the ranks of the Hawke Group.

Even if Miranda didn’t take the lead, Marion alone could stabilize the situation.

He admired Marion and desired a lawyer like Maximus.

But more than these two, he understood that Miranda was the key.

Only by securing her could he get the others.

And maybe even more.

Who knows how many other hidden talents were under her wing?

Carter frowned, "She’s so capable that she doesn't need to return to the family. The Hawke family doesn’t have anything that interests her. She’s right, there’s nothing and no one there that really matters to her."

Wait a minute.

“I can stick with her even if she doesn’t go back,” Carter’s eyes lit up. “Then I won’t have to go back either. If my mom asks, you can just say I’m with my sister.”

Darcy was at a loss for words.

He never seemed to get it, and now he chooses this moment to be clever.

He looked in the direction Miranda had gone, sighing softly.

She was a tough nut to crack.

He wasn’t about to give up so easily, though. He just needed a change of strategy.

“For now, stay in Virell, spend some time with her. Tell her that her grandfather would love to see her. She should visit him if she’s free. The doors of the Hawke Group will always be open to her.”
