Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 55

When Sebastian dropped that line, Miranda finally realized he could be quite the tough cookie. After all, not just anyone would dare to provoke someone like Elian.

Elian's grip on Miranda's wrist was firm, keeping her rooted in place.

"Mr. Everhart, you've grown quite sharp-tongued since I last saw you," Elian remarked with a chilly tone.

Sebastian chuckled. "I'm nothing compared to you, Mr. Ashcroft."

William whispered something to Lavinia, who cast a glance at Elian and Sebastian. Her eyes sparkled with interest.

This kind of showdown...

She quickly pulled out her phone to capture the rare moment, while William was like, “...”

Where was the fierce and no-nonsense President Lancaster he knew?

Miranda yanked her hand free, giving the two of them a look. "Why don't you both just dance it out?" With that, she lifted her dress slightly and walked away.

What a headache. Why did they have to drag her into their squabble?

Elian withdrew his hand and watched her leave, a possessive, affectionate smirk playing on his lips. "That's just how my sister is."

Sebastian adjusted his glasses slightly, his eyes cool and calculating. "You two aren't even related by blood, so let's not play the relative card."

It was no secret that Miranda was Lavinia's adopted daughter. But what mattered was that Lavinia publicly recognized her as a Lancaster, making her a Lancaster through and through.

So, Miranda and Elian shared no blood ties.

Elian's smile vanished, his voice dropping to an icy warning. "Don’t even think about it."

But to Sebastian, his threatening words showed no effect. He gazed at Elian, his lips slightly tugged. "Why not?"

Elian's gaze turned steely, his entire demeanor shifting.

After Miranda left, she was quickly surrounded by the Lancaster family's relatives. Amidst their admiration and warmth, she spent the rest of the evening.
