Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 343

Jasper hadn’t really planned on giving the cake back to Carter. But then he caught Miranda’s half-amused look, and his resolve crumbled. He handed the cake back to Carter and raised his hands.

“Alright, alright, here you go.”

Miranda finally turned her attention away. “What are you doing here, Jasper?”

Carter clutched the cake protectively, suspicious. “You two know each other?”

Frowning, Jasper shot Carter a sideways glance before turning to Miranda. “I live here in Virell. Zephra’s kind of lost its charm, so I figured I’d come back.”

“Besides, with you here, Elian and Sebastian are bound to show up,” he uttered as he swept a designed look at Carter, as if eager to watch some drama unfold.

The look in his eyes plainly said, “If those two show up, you’re toast.”

Carter blinked in confusion.

“Looks like you’ve got a lot of time on your hands,” Miranda said coolly.

Jasper pointed across the street. “I saw you guys from over there. There’s a club right across the road. I was just hanging out.”

Miranda glanced over and noticed the swanky joint he was talking about. Jasper was the type who knew all the city’s secrets and had a knack for finding the best hangouts.

Back in Zephra, it was Jasper who’d first introduced Miranda to the black market.

“By the way,” Jasper cautioned, “don’t say that I didn’t remind you. Elian may be elusive, but he hasn’t left Virell yet, right? You showing up like that, I’m afraid this guy would get back luck.”

He knew better than anyone what kind of person Elian was. He didn’t worry Miranda, but this guy instead, daring get entangled with Elian’s woman; he might have a death wish.

Miranda’s brow furrowed. “What nonsense are you spouting now?”

Carter, now visibly irritated, shot back with a cold sneer, “I’m not scared of anyone. You wanna settle this one-on-one?”

Speechless, Miranda rolled her eyes at Jasper’s provocation but felt compelled to level with Carter. “You wouldn’t stand a chance, just let it go.”
