Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 370

Darcy cleared his throat. Miranda's responses were nothing like what he had expected, so straightforward.

He knew making such achievements meant she was different from other young people, but he hadn’t anticipated just how different.

“We’ve heard about you and your family. Rest assured, we don’t intend to hold your father’s actions against you. You’re still a part of the Hawke family. Our family acknowledges you.” He paused purposefully, adding, “But not your four brothers.”

Miranda chuckled. What an interesting way to put it.

In other words, they only recognized her from the Hawke family in Zephra, not the rest of the members. It made sense; any of the rest being accepted would be an embarrassment to them. After all, they were all serving time in prison. The shortest sentence among them was five years.

As Darcy mentioned it, Carter also thought about Miranda’s four brothers. None of them were any good, all fawning over that adopted sister.

“Can I ask a question?” Miranda inquired.

“Go ahead.”

“What exactly did Alden do to get kicked out of the family?” Miranda’s curiosity was purely gossip-driven; she was just curious about what misdeeds Alden had committed, leading to his abandonment.

Darcy hesitated, as if dredging up old memories. “It’s not really a secret, but it’s been a long time. From what I recall vaguely, he colluded with outsiders, jeopardizing the family’s interests, which led to the heads of two family subsidiaries ending up in prison. After the family paid to keep him out of jail, they disowned him. Since then, the Hawke family has cut all ties with him. So, all these years, he’s never reached out to us, because he knows we’d never help him again unless he fancies a prison cell.”

Miranda thought to herself, “No wonder the Hawke family seems destined for prison, apart from the original Miranda. It must run in the family.”
