Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 339

Before Celeste could finish her sentence, Mr. Sterling had already slapped her across the face.

Disbelief etched on Celeste’s face. "Dad?"

Mr. Sterling fixed his gaze on her. "I don't care whose foster daughter she is. From now on, you stay clear of her! Even your grandfather agrees. As long as she doesn't cross the line with you, just let it slide."

"But why? Grandpa always dotes on me," Celeste said, bewildered. "She hit me first! Why are you taking her side?"

Mr. Sterling inhaled a deep breath. "That's not for you to worry about. She's not someone you can mess with. I'm only doing this to teach you a lesson. You know the Sterling name carries weight, and I don't want any unnecessary stains on it. I've managed to cover up your past antics, but as for Miranda, don't provoke her again! If she does start something, I'll report to them. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Celeste clenched her jaw, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Of course, it would be best if you could make peace with her," Mr. Sterling advised.

Celeste lowered her gaze, harboring a growing resentment.

Making peace? Why should she? Why should she cozy up to someone like that?

A flirtatious woman with loose morals and a questionable background, why should she have to befriend her? What is she?

Though Mrs. Sterling remained silent, she was visibly upset.

"Couldn't you just talk it out? Why did you have to hit her?"

Mr. Sterling sighed, "I just don't want her doing anything that could harm the family. You know your daughter's temperament."

Celeste wasn't the only one who got in trouble that day. Others who had clashed with Miranda at the shooting range found themselves in hot water too.

After getting roughed up by Miranda, they returned home only to face another round of beating. The young heirs were baffled, unsure of why they were being punished.
