Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 392

Miranda's suspicions cast a shadow over Sebastian's face, his expression slowly shifting to one of icy resolve. His eyes, sheltered by his glasses, seemed to glaze over with a thin layer of frost, yet a faint smile danced on his lips. "You're quite astute. Your suspicions mirror my own."

"That night was a family gathering, no outsiders involved. Susie is just a little girl; there's no reason to target her. If anyone was meant to be harmed, it was probably me. I've gone over the surveillance footage from that evening countless times, but I can't figure out who could have done it."

His voice dipped into a somber tone. "I can't determine how Susie got poisoned; nearly everyone interacted with her that night, and she had a bit of everything. There's no way to pinpoint who the culprit is."

Miranda furrowed her brow, pondering deeply. Discussing the perpetrator wasn't urgent right now. They could uncover the person behind it in due time, possibly even tracing back to whoever had orchestrated the poisoning.

She rose and walked over to Susie. Hearing the approach, Susie looked up, her eyes wide and curious, clutching her teddy bear tightly.

"Big sis..." she murmured.

As Miranda approached, Sebastian's gaze sharpened with concern. "Miranda." he began, apprehension lacing his voice.

But Miranda held out her hand towards Susie, smiling warmly. "Come on, give her a handshake."

The gesture was so playful, almost like coaxing a puppy, that it drew a slight frown from Sebastian. He seemed worried for Miranda and took two quick strides to reach them.

"You'd better not—"

Before he could finish, Susie had already reached out and grasped Miranda’s hand. Her eyes lit up with delight, her little face breaking into a grin.

"Susie can touch!" she exclaimed with excitement, standing up to hug Miranda, her small hands exploring Miranda’s arms and shoulders with joy.

"Susie can touch her!" she repeated, her amazement evident.

Miranda let her explore, chuckling softly as she ruffled Susie’s hair. Sebastian looked on, astonished.

"You're okay?" he asked.

Miranda nodded, "I'm immune to all kinds of toxins."

Her body had been altered to withstand any contact poison, leaving her unaffected by such threats.

Sebastian’s eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of understanding flashing across his glasses. "You're the first person apart from me that Susie can touch."
