Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 353

It didn't take long for the fans to piece together that Celeste was talking about Miranda. After all, Miranda and Celeste had a history of disagreements, and Celeste had once misunderstood Miranda, stirring up quite the storm online. That storm had led to Celeste's downfall, her carefully crafted persona crumbling to pieces.

So everyone assumed she was pointing fingers at Miranda. It wasn't long before "Miranda stirring trouble with Celeste's friends" was trending, and fans were demanding an explanation from Miranda.

Though Miranda wasn't short on fans herself, so Celeste's crowd couldn't make too much noise. Just as Miranda was stepping out, her phone rang. It was Marion.

"Why is this Celeste always targeting you? She's stirring up drama again."

Miranda scanned her surroundings as she stood by her front door. In the span of just a few days, her neighborhood had become populated with a curious assortment of characters. There were street vendors, some selling cheap souvenirs and even a guy attempting to cook crepes.

Jo had warned her that these new faces had appeared gradually over the past few days, and they were all pretty terrible at their jobs. Even the crepes the guy cooked were just distasteful. Their objection was suspicious, and Jo inquired if they should call the cops.

"Why are you asking me about someone else's tantrum?" Miranda replied. "Is she losing it online again?"

Marion acknowledged with a simple “yeah”. "I can't touch her, otherwise I'd have her blacklisted already. She's got quite the connections. But we can manage the public outcry. Her reputation was already shaky. Though, her backers might step in to keep the negative press at bay."

Miranda approached the crepe stand. "Handle it as you see fit. Don't worry about me."

Marion responded, "Sure, but seriously, what did you do to her this time?"

Miranda thought for a moment. "Could be because I decked her once?"

Marion was left speechless. "You're a real piece of work."

Miranda smirked. "Everything's smooth over at Zephra, right?"

The crepe vendor's hands were trembling now, not daring to meet Miranda's gaze.

Marion uttered, "Pretty good, NeuraCore is running smoothly. But a heads-up from Charles, the authorities on both sides of the law are looking for you, be careful. Especially Logan from the Victor family out west, who’s put a hundred million bounty on your head."

Marion's voice dropped to a whisper. "Keep a low profile for a while, don’t go overseas."

Miranda glanced at the vendor. "Got it."

After wrapping up the call with Marion, she frowned. "You guys are really getting bold, huh?" She pointed at the mess of the crepes. "Such a lousy skill, did you even train for this? You are not afraid you might get exposed?"

The vendor’s face shifted, a tad embarrassed. "I'm new at this, and seeing you made me nervous."
