Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 44

It wasn't just Arabella who was stunned - everyone seemed to be in shock.

Alden and Grace, along with the four Hawke brothers, stepped forward, their faces mirroring the confusion of the crowd.

What? Why did Miranda just call President Lancaster "Mom"? What on earth was happening?

The two young ladies, who had been so eager to join Arabella in ridiculing Miranda, now turned their bewildered gazes onto Arabella, their expressions tinged with a hint of accusation.

Their voices were laced with anger. "Didn't you say she was just some gold-digger?"

"Were you lying to us on purpose?"

The onlookers, initially here for a bit of drama, found themselves witnessing a spectacle far more entertaining than they had bargained for. But the joke was clearly on Arabella and the other two.

They had barged in, intent on humiliating Miranda, accusing her as someone’s sugar baby, only to discover they had been mocking the daughter of President Lancaster herself.

It was the kind of epic twist that rarely played out in the elite circles they frequented.

Lavinia frowned. "A misunderstanding?"

William just managed an awkward smile, feeling it wasn't his place to jump into the conversation.

Miranda approached Lavinia with a calm demeanor. "This Ms. Hawk, as well as these two ladies."

She glanced towards the other two, who had subtly distanced themselves from Arabella. She chuckled softly. "Ms. Hawk seemed to think my presence here was due to me being kept by some man, implying I'd been brought in by him."

Miranda's words were delivered with such grace and poise; she seemed unbothered by the earlier misunderstanding, showing no sign of holding grudges.

Such composure and elegance made the onlookers feel their previous speculation ridiculous. Her demeanor so unruffled, even when she was wrongly accused; the behavior was exactly what one would expect from a Lancaster - a family known for their stature and class.

No wonder the Lancaster family seemed so fond and proud of her. President Lancaster often spoke highly of his daughter for a reason - she truly deserved the praise she received.
