Arabella wiped her tears away, trying to put on a brave face, biting her lower lip.
"I'll go pack my things," she murmured, her voice filled with grievance as she made a move to head upstairs.
Dorian finally stood up, his voice deep. "Enough, no one's asking you to leave."
Arabella paused, her eyes still teary as she looked at Dorian. "Dorian."
Grace let out a sigh. "Dorian's right, no one's sending you away. What are you doing?"
Alden joined in, scolding Arabella. "Sit down! What nonsense are you talking about? Who said you're not wanted?"
Despite their anger, the years of affection the Hawke family had for Arabella made it hard for them to truly be harsh with her.
Alistair spoke calmly, "The priority right now is to handle the online uproar and the whole real-and-fake heiress fiasco. If we don't calm this down, it's going to start affecting our company's stock."
Orion agreed, "Alistair’s right. I have a feeling Miranda's behind this; otherwise, how would the Zades just happen to show up there?"
Lysander frowned. "The Zade family isn’t any better. They've been pestering us for money, just because they are Bella’s relatives. It's infuriating."
Lysander's irritation wasn't just with the Zade family; it was also about the recent TV show incident. He felt utterly humiliated by his loss.
Now, whether it was his teammates or anyone else, they were all starting to treat him coldly because of that show and the competition.
Every time he checked his social media, it was filled with his gaming fans criticizing him and Arabella. They never cared about sibling bonding; they just knew that failure was the ultimate sin.
So, Lysander's frustration boiled over. His obvious impatience and anger made the other brothers frown too.
