Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 179

Upon hearing Miranda's comment, Hannah and Caius both turned their gaze to the other side. Sure enough, they saw the Hawke family making their entrance.

Alden and Grace walked arm-in-arm, greeting others with warm smiles. The four Hawke boys were in tow as well, with Arabella tagging along in a pretty princess dress, deliberately positioning herself in the middle like the apple of their eye.

But today, the Hawke brothers seemed different than usual. They barely acknowledged Arabella. So, when Arabella fell a bit behind, they didn't wait for her. She was left to awkwardly gather her dress and hurry to catch up.

As the Hawke family arrived, celebrities and the elite, who typically swarmed around them in the past the moment they spotted the family, kept their distance.

After all, the four Hawke brothers and their spotlight-stealing sister were social media gold.

Any association with them could skyrocket one's exposure, making them a hot ticket for fame-seekers. Hence, each time when the Hawkes had made their entrance, they’d be the center of attention and receive countless compliments.

But now, with Miranda present, no one wanted to risk offending the Lancaster Group or Miranda herself by getting too close to the Hawkes.

Besides, the Hawke family had been the subject of quite a bit of disgraceful scandal recently, with their sons and adopted daughter making tabloid headlines. Nobody wanted to be dragged into that mess.

In the lively party atmosphere, the Hawkes found themselves largely ignored, and Alden and Grace struggled to maintain a polite facade despite their discomfort. The Hawke boys wore frowns as well.
