Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 48

Lavinia was fuming. "Do you think I don't know who my daughter is? Whether Miranda is adopted or not, she's still my daughter. What’s your problem, constantly disparaging her? I think it’s your character that’s questionable! What are you after? We don’t welcome guests like you!"

The Lancaster family's fury shut Grace up. She shot a worried glance at Alden, only to be met with a stern look that warned her to keep quiet.

Grace frowned. She hadn’t meant to cause trouble; she just wanted to understand what was happening!

Dorian stepped in, trying to defuse the situation. "My apologies, President Lancaster. My mother and sister might have mistaken someone."

Alden chimed in, trying to calm things down. “Yes, President Lancaster, please don’t be upset. I’ll have a word with them when we get home.”

Arabella, though frustrated, knew it was better to stay quiet at this point.

Miranda's gaze swept across the Hawke family members, and then she calmly walked forward and poured her glass of wine right over Arabella's face.

The once perfectly made-up Arabella was left looking utterly disheveled.

Everyone around gasped in shock. No one had expected Miranda to retaliate against the Hawke family’s darling so directly.

The Hawke family members were livid, glaring daggers at Miranda. Arabella shrieked, covering her face with her hands.

It was the first time Sebastian had witnessed such a scene, and even he, behind his calm exterior, felt a ripple of surprise. Miranda’s actions were always unpredictable.

Elian, however, seemed amused, smiling indulgently as he looked at Miranda. This was the Miranda he knew.

"Once or twice you’ve stepped all over me, spreading lies in front of my mother and esteemed guests. Did you really think I wouldn’t react?" Miranda spoke, her tone unwavering. "The way the Hawke family behaves, it’s truly concerning."

Her gaze moved to Alden and his wife. “Raising such an embarrassing daughter, perhaps it’s time for your family to reflect. Don’t you think?”

Miranda ignored the hostile stares from the Hawke family, her lips curling up. "Of course, you don’t exactly seem like the epitome of virtue."

The fact that Miranda not only splashed wine but also insulted the entire Hawke family left everyone stunned.
