Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 314

Darcy's remark made Dennis' face darken considerably.

He knew full well what it meant if those two men were indeed loyal to Miranda. If everything Darcy said was true, this young woman's cunning was practically terrifying.

But he, as the head of the family and the founder of the Hawke Group empire, saw something else: her ability to handle people, to remain invisible in such a tumultuous situation, and to achieve her goals nonetheless.

The fact that such depth and strategy belonged to a twenty-year-old girl was astounding.

If the younger generation of the Hawke family had such a prospective heir, he could practically jump for joy.

"Even though her father is in jail and has been disowned by the family, don't forget, she shares the Hawke blood," Darcy hinted, and Dennis understood perfectly.

The tradition of the Hawke Group allowed any blood relative to compete for the heirship. Within the Hawke family, there were only the leaders and other family members.

The family head would be among the leaders, but the leader would also be the future head. And the heir was the sole candidate for the leadership position.

In reality, these three roles would eventually converge into one person, with roles evolving over time. For example, Darcy was currently the present leader, and the previous one was Dennis, standing right there. Technically, Dennis was Darcy's uncle.

Dennis' eyes darkened. "But her father's branch no longer belongs to the Hawke family. This might stir discontent among other family members."

Darcy chuckled, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. "Discontent or not, we're just following the family rules."

Dennis pondered for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Darcy. "You're not even favoring your own son."

Darcy smiled faintly, saying, "If you were in my shoes, you'd do the same."

He paused, "He may have ambition, but whether he can secure the position isn't up to me. It's fair competition."

Dennis considered this and slowly nodded.

"You go ahead and handle it. I would like to meet this child anyway. Make sure to coordinate with the Lancaster Group. They're not your typical high society. In Ardenza, the Lancaster family is quite the esteemed name."

"I understand. However, from what I can tell, the child seems to only have personal ties with the Lancaster Group. Besides that, they don't have any business interests together. So, what she wants is what truly matters."

Darcy, being a sharp individual, could see to the core of things. Dennis nodded slightly, looking at the tablet displaying Miranda's photo and details. His shrewd eyes twinkled with a sharp insight.

Virell.

"Don't forget, it's Villa 19 at Sunset Estates, a 200-square-foot mansion with a small hill. Bought per your request. Do you have any idea how expensive land is in this area? It cost a fortune even in the outskirts!" Marion grumbled, his love for money evident.

Miranda, pulling her suitcase out of the airport, was waiting for a ride. "Why are you so worked up? It's not like I didn't pay you."
