Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 191

"How’s that good luck? They don't have a dime to do with each other."

Arabella overheard the whispers around her about Miranda. When she caught wind of the gossip that Miranda had spent three million dollars on a jewelry necklace for Hannah, Arabella was dumbfounded.

That was probably the Lancaster family's money?

She muttered, pretending to talk to no one in particular, "Spending her foster mom's hard-earned cash on gifts for others doesn't even see herself as an outsider, huh?"

"What? Using her foster mom's money to buy gifts worth three million for someone else?" A voice full of disbelief suddenly piped up next to Arabella.

Turning, Arabella saw a young woman dressed head-to-toe in luxury designer brands, looking about her age but with a fiercely indignant look on her face.

"Spending Ms. Lavinia Lancaster's money like it's nothing, huh?" the girl fumed. "I thought she was a good person, but turns out she's just an ungrateful brat."

Though Arabella envied the girl's designer attire, she quickly seized the opportunity to agree and whispered, "Yeah, I can't stand it either. President Lancaster treats her so well, and she just squanders the money like that."

The girl huffed, turning on her heel and storming over. Arabella smirked icily. Even the wealthy could be used as pawns by her.

Miranda was watching as the man before her, hands in his pockets and wearing a charming smile, leaned towards her.

Was it a bit embarrassing? Maybe. But with Elian's strikingly handsome face, even his antics seemed to win over the hearts of many girls nearby.

Who would have thought the notoriously ill-tempered Mr. Ashcroft could have such an endearing side?

Even those who had only heard of him by reputation, unaware of his identity as the fearful Mr. Ashcroft, were drawn to this beautiful young man.

Miranda glanced around, noticing the many cameras capturing their every move. Elian didn't seem to care. Any photo of him would swiftly vanish from the internet, leaving no trace.

"Buy what? I'm broke now," Miranda refused.

Elian frowned. "You bought her something, why not me?"

Miranda replied, "She's my sister, are you?"

Elian looked at her, silent for a few seconds. "I could be."

Miranda was like, "??" Both Caius and Hannah mirrored her expression.

Was this how Mr. Elian Ashcroft usually behaved? They'd never heard of such a thing. Wasn't it said that no one ever dared to boss Elian around? That no one could ever outshine him? That nobody, regardless of the gender, would respect him for his sake?

Yet here he was, the infamous and ruthless young Ashcroft, acting so obediently in front of Miranda.

"So, are you buying?" Elian asked, eyes full of hopeful anticipation as they settled on Miranda, as if he was hell-bent on securing the same treatment as Hannah.
