Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 9

The sharp smack echoed through the boutique, startling everyone inside.

"Miranda, what the hell are you doing?" Lysander snapped.

Miranda didn't miss a beat and landed another swift slap across Lysander's cheek.

"Don't worry," she said. "You have your own share."

She turned to Orion, who stood frozen in shock, and delivered a third slap with her hand. "And one for you."

The brothers never anticipated that Miranda would ever lay a hand on them. The slaps were quick and brutal, leaving them no time to react. The two got smacked on their face, glaring at her, their teeth gritted.

Miranda's eyes were icy as she enunciated each word. "Remember, it was you who wronged me. When you see me, you should scurry away like rats from a cat, not bark like mad dogs. But if you prefer the latter, I have no problem teaching you a lesson."

With that, she turned on her heel and walked out, leaving the gazes of the rest behind. William shot the trio a look that screamed satisfaction.

Orion and Lysander, though fuming, felt a twinge of guilt. The Hawke family had indeed wronged Miranda, and they dreaded the idea of her revealing their dirty laundry in public. So, as much as it stung, they swallowed their pride and kept quiet.

Arabella began to sniffle softly. "Even if we did her wrong, she can't just hit us like that. She's been to jail, and despite that, Mom and Dad let her back into the Hawke family. Haven't they been kind enough? I know it’s my fault, and I’ve got ready to leave the moment she returned."

The brothers immediately turned their attention to comforting Arabella.

Orion reassured her, "Why should you leave? If anyone's going, it's her. Next time she lays a hand on us, I'll make sure she regrets it!"

Lysander added, "How low can she go, being someone's kept woman and now acting all high and mighty? She's no better than a common shrew!"

The shop assistants, who had been watching the drama unfold, began to murmur amongst themselves, eager to dissect the juicy scene.

Seeing this, Arabella stormed off in a huff, with the brothers hot on her heels.
