Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 70

She wasn't going to let her get away with it that easily!

As Dorian thought about what Arabella had just said, his mind drifted back to Miranda. He recalled the harsh words she had thrown at him.

He frowned, sitting in his car, and dialed the number for Lavinia's secretary.

"Hello, may I schedule a meeting with President Lancaster? This is Dorian."

"Oh, Mr. Hawke. I'm sorry, but President Lancaster is extremely busy and isn't taking any appointments at the moment."

Dorian paused for a moment. "Do you happen to know where Miranda lives?"

"Apologies, but I can't disclose Miss Lancaster's address. If there's nothing else, I'll have to hang up."

The line quickly went dead, leaving Dorian staring at his phone with a cold expression. He was feeling a bit on edge.

It wasn't just because of Miranda. Recently, Arabella's biological parents had been showing up everywhere he went, hassling him for money under Arabella's name.

They even had the audacity to have their son call him "brother" and were trying to get him to give the kid a job. It was ridiculous!

He ignored them once or twice, but they kept popping up like a bad penny, impossible to shake off. The very sight of the Zades made him nauseous. And when he saw Arabella, who bore a slight resemblance to them, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Meanwhile, at Lancaster Group's headquarters in Zephra.

"Let us in! We need to see President Lancaster!"

"That's right, you tell President Lancaster! I'm Miranda's mother!"

"Let us in! Miranda is a fraud, President Lancaster, don't be fooled by her!"

Luna and her family stood outside the Lancaster Group building, causing a scene with their loud clamoring. They drew the attention of a few employees who couldn't help but glance their way.

The security guards blocked their way, preparing to call the police.

"If you keep this up, we'll have to call the police."

Luna, with a defiant look, retorted, "Go ahead, call them! I'm telling you, Miranda is my daughter! I'm here to expose this con artist!"

Just then, Lavinia emerged from the building. As soon as Luna saw her, she rushed forward.

"You're President Lancaster, right? I heard you took Miranda in as your daughter? Let me tell you, Miranda has a questionable character. She's been untrustworthy since she was a kid, always lying and deceiving. I'm her foster mother! I know exactly what kind of person she is!"

From the onlookers' perspective, they just seemed like a bunch of troublemakers causing a scene, and no one paid them much mind.

William was puzzled. "How did they manage to show up here?"

After getting in the car, Lavinia let out a cold snort. "Isn't it obvious? Someone's pulling the strings behind the scenes.

That family is despicable. To think they were Miranda's foster parents. What kind of parents talk about their daughter like that? And look at Arabella, the way the Hawke family dotes on her!"

The more she talked, the more her heart ached for Miranda. She had truly been dealt a lousy hand with families like these.

Lavinia had already done her homework on the Zade family. She couldn't believe they had the nerve to stir up trouble at her company. Did they think Lavinia was a pushover?

"The Hawke family?" William speculated.

Lavinia fell silent for a moment, and then called Miranda.

At that moment, Miranda was reviewing the planning program for a reality TV show that Marion had secured for her. It was an e-sports guest appearance and a survival show.

"Oh? The Zade family caused a ruckus?" Miranda tugged her lips slightly, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. "Let's make it a big deal then. Thanks for handling it, Godmom."
