Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 369

This was absolutely unbelievable.

Darcy cleared his throat and started the introductions. "This is your distant cousin, Miranda."

Miranda had already figured out who Carter was the moment she saw him. So Darcy's introduction didn't surprise her one bit.

Carter asked, "What cousin?"

Immediately, his mind conjured up all the information he'd found online about Miranda.

"You've heard of the Hawke family in Zephra, right?" Darcy uttered, taking a deep breath. "It was a pretty big deal, even made headlines nationally. That family is actually an offshoot of our own Hawke family. Her biological father is my generation, so she's your peer. However, her father was cast out of the family over two decades ago. When trouble hit them, he called us seeking help. But after all he'd done, there was no way we could get involved."

Darcy's tone was cold, clearly devoid of any familial affection for this brother of his.

Carter was well aware of the Hawke family in Zephra. He also knew about Miranda's past—how she was mistakenly given to another family, mistreated by her adoptive parents, and later bullied by her biological parents and brothers.

This history made him want to be kind to Miranda.

He never expected they were actually cousins. There was real family connection there.

His heart was filled with both joy and a hint of disappointment. But at that moment, the joy far outweighed the disappointment.

Darcy looked at Miranda with a sigh. "Your sister's been through a lot, but to achieve what she has today, you should admire her."
