Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 69

She glanced at Arabella beside her, and the more she looked, the more Arabella's face resembled that of her biological mother, Luna. This realization made her frown.

Deep down, she believed Arabella was the daughter most worthy of her love, yet something about the situation irked her.

Seeing Arabella splurge on so many luxury items suddenly left a bitter taste in her mouth.

Back when Miranda was living at home, she never really bought her many clothes. Arabella would always pass down her own clothes to Miranda. At the time, she thought Arabella was being considerate.

But now she realized, as soon as Arabella handed down her clothes, she'd immediately buy new ones for herself.

Miranda and Arabella were built differently. Miranda, who had always been undernourished, was skin and bones with a less refined aura. Wearing Arabella's designer clothes was like trying to pass off fakes.

Back then, she even resented her own daughter for being so skanky.

But at the Lancaster Group banquet, seeing Miranda in a bespoke gown looking so poised, calling another woman "Mom". Inside, she felt a mix of heartbreak and anger.

With another glance at Arabella now, who seemed only interested in buying luxury goods, her mood soured.

"You need to rein it in; you're not a kid anymore. Even if the family is wealthy, you can't just spend recklessly," she admonished.

Arabella pouted. "Alright, Mom."

"How are things with Theo lately?" she inquired.

Arabella admired her newly bought jewelry. "Good, same as always."

Grace nodded. "You should work on your relationship with him. Your twentieth birthday is coming up soon. It's time we finalize your engagement."

Though there was already a verbal agreement between the families, they hadn't officially held an engagement ceremony.

Lately, the Blackwell family hadn't been as warm towards them, so it was crucial to seal the deal quickly.

Arabella frowned. "Do I really have to marry him, Mom?"

After meeting Elian and Sebastian at the banquet, Theo seemed less impressive. She could surely marry into a higher social standing. Marrying Theo felt like settling.

Besides, she found Sebastian and Elian far more attractive than Theo.

Lately, she'd heard a lot about how influential Sebastian was in the elite circles. Compared to him, Theo was hardly worth mentioning.

So her feelings for Theo had cooled, far from the same as before.
