Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 26

They knew this restaurant was just one of many in a chain owned by a catering company, which ran multiple higher end restaurants. This company, in turn, was backed by none other than the Lancaster Group.

Not just anyone could clear the place at a whim!

The mute girl wanted to speak, but not a sound came out. Instead, she looked at Miranda with a mix of fear and pleading, pointing at her mouth.

Miranda simply said, "When you learn to speak properly, it'll come back."

With that, she turned on her heel and walked away.

Keith tried to follow her, shouting at Miranda’s retreating back, "Don’t freaking think you’re all that just because you’ve got rich friends! Everyone knows what you really are! You...ugh!"

Keith’s throat was suddenly gripped tight; he could barely breathe, and his toes were just touching the ground.

He stared at the man in front of him, eyes wide with terror, but he couldn’t get out more than a frightened syllable.

The others stepped back in fear, too scared to make a sound.

Elian held Keith by the throat with one hand, his muscles straining strikingly under the black fabric of his shirt.

Elian’s gaze was icy, his head tilted slightly with a touch of defiance. "Care to repeat that?"

Elian was in a foul mood. He had expected to play the hero, showing off a bit. But now, he felt like the roles had switched, and he was the one needing rescuing from Miranda.

Being ignored by Miranda only made him feel worse.

Keith just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Elian took his frustration out on him.

With a flick of his wrist, Elian tossed the grown man to the ground like he weighed nothing.

Keith clutched his throat, unable to make a sound, looking up at Elian in sheer terror. In that moment, he had genuinely felt the shadow of death looming.

Elian took a step back, and his assistant immediately handed him a handkerchief. He wiped his hands and then tossed the handkerchief onto Keith's face before striding after Miranda.
