Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 399

"That'll cost you extra," Sebastian smirked, "Ten million dollars."

Miranda blinked, momentarily taken aback. "Come again?"

Sebastian continued, "An extra fee. Help me find out who poisoned Susie, and I'll pay you ten million dollars."

Miranda hesitated for a moment, then cleared her throat. "Well... that's not entirely out of the question."

Nobody says no to money, especially when it's not a dangerous task.

"But let me think it over. I'll get back to you in a couple of days." She decided to play it cool, didn't want Sebastian thinking she was just in it for the money.

Sebastian chuckled, "Alright."

"It's getting late, you should get some rest," he said, turning to leave but then paused, "Oh, by the way."

Miranda was also about to call it a night. "What's up?"

Sebastian scratched his head sheepishly, "I just posted a picture on Facebook, and I think it got misunderstood."

"Huh?" Miranda raised an eyebrow.

Sebastian grinned, "I posted a picture of you."

Miranda blinked. It's just a picture, how could it be misunderstood?

Having been in the public eye before, Miranda was used to photos being shared and didn’t think much of it.

"Why'd you post a picture of me?" she asked, genuinely curious.

Sebastian met her gaze, "I happened to snap a good one and couldn't resist sharing it on Facebook."

Miranda nodded, accepting the explanation. After all, she knew she was easy on the eyes.

"So, what was the misunderstanding?"

Sebastian shrugged, "Nothing major, just that people think you’re living at my place."

"The backyard's off-limits. Only the two ladies can go there," Jo said firmly.

Carter protested, "Miranda's my sister, my real, blood-related sister."

Jo remained unmoved, "Doesn't matter."

Carter attempted to squeeze past but was effortlessly lifted back by Jo.

Carter was shocked. How could a butler be so strong? He was a six-foot-tall man, after all.

Seeing Jo’s expressionless face, Carter didn’t dare make another move. He was just bored and wanted to explore Miranda’s estate. He'd never seen a garden before and was curious about the serious-faced woman tending to one.

"If you're bored, Mia can show you around the rest of the place," Jo offered. "But Miss Miranda won't be back soon."

Carter pouted, looking a bit defeated, "I just wanted a look."

Meanwhile, Miranda picked up her phone, only to be greeted by a slew of unread messages, her brow furrowing as she skimmed through them.
