Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 181

That one look made Arabella's heart sink like a stone.

Why was this happening? Did Dorian not care for her anymore?

In the past, whenever something like this happened, her brothers would always stand by her unconditionally. It was Theo who wronged her, so why were they treating her this way? This wasn't her fault!

They had changed. Arabella noticed that the whole family was looking in Miranda's direction, and tears of anger welled up in her eyes.

It was because of her, she was certain. It was all because of Miranda that they were different now!

She wanted to stay close to Alistair, Orion, and Lysander, but like Dorian, they had distanced themselves from her. Especially when Miranda glanced their way, they seemed almost afraid of being seen too close to Arabella, keeping a careful distance.

Alistair spoke with a calm detachment, "Let's not forget, we're not blood relatives. Being too close might raise some eyebrows. We should keep some boundaries."

Lysander chimed in, "Alistair's right. You should be more careful."

Dorian silently agreed.

Mrs. Hawke, overhearing the exchange, added quietly, "Your brothers have a point. You're not related by blood, so why stick so close? If people start talking, it could get ugly, saying you're trying to seduce your brothers."

And now, with the whole mess involving Theo, things were even more complicated. Arabella kept insisting that Theo was lying about them sleeping together, but this scandal was shattering the sweet image she had always portrayed to the Hawke family.

Mrs. Hawke didn't want any rumors of her sons being involved with Arabella, which would only bring more shame and embarrassment to the family.

Originally, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Hawke wanted to bring Arabella to the banquet tonight.
