Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 123

From the moment she saw the game, Miranda knew it like the back of her hand. She had been playing it since she was a kid.

Miranda had always had an exceptional knack for many things, so it wasn't long before she found herself ranked among the world's best players. Honestly, it was mostly down to muscle memory and the fact that she was still young when she got into this new world. If she had arrived a few years later, it might not have been so smooth.

Arabella refused to believe it, her eyes blood-shot. "How could she know this? Where did she learn it from?"

It was just like the time at the shooting range when she saw Miranda hitting bullseyes. Miranda was practically a lowlife who came from that kind of background, how could she have such skills? Back when she was with the Hawke family, she seemed utterly clueless - didn't even know what esports was, let alone the fact that she served two years in prison!

The way everyone around looked at Miranda with admiration stung Arabella's eyes. Even the way Lysander's gaze lingered on Miranda drove her insane. All this admiration, all these accolades, they should have been hers!

The host was equally astonished. "Who would have thought you’re such a pro at gaming? How on earth did you hone these skills, Miranda?"

Miranda simply smiled and replied, "Just a bit of talent, I guess."

It was the truth, after all, and her answer drew laughter from the crowd.

Sebastian was also pulled in for an interview. "And what about you, Mr. Everhart? We saw how well you synced with Miranda. Do you two play together often in private?"

The audience was not only surprised by Miranda's skills but also by the fact that Sebastian could play - and pretty well! It was as if a figure they always placed on a pedestal suddenly seemed so down-to-earth.
