Fortunately, the mansion's front door had been left unlocked. Nathalie stood at the threshold, dragging her oversized suitcase.
As lightning lit up the sky, Nathalie's silhouette appeared ghostly, startling Miranda, who had just gotten up for a late-night bathroom trip, into a terrified scream.
“Ah!”
“It’s just me,” Nathalie said calmly.
Miranda's scream was cut short. Nathalie flipped on the wall light, revealing Miranda’s shocked expression. “What are you doing here?” Miranda stammered.
“I’m here to settle a score,” Nathalie replied.
Miranda's face went pale. She wheeled herself after Nathalie. “I heard Nathan got seriously hurt trying to save you. Mason must be livid and probably kicked you out. So now you're back here trying to stay with us?”
“But Nathalie, you know you're not really a Brown. This isn't your home. You shouldn't be here. So, could you please leave?”
Nathalie ignored Miranda and continued up the spiral staircase, suitcase in tow.
Unable to follow her up the stairs, Miranda had to use the elevator to reach the second floor.
When Nathalie stepped off the staircase, Miranda was waiting. “Why won’t you answer me?” she pressed.
Nathalie walked straight to the room she used to stay in. She opened her suitcase and slowly hung her clothes in the wardrobe.
Only then did she lazily reply, “True, I’m not a Brown. But are you brave enough to announce that to the world?”
Miranda was taken aback. Her mind struggled to comprehend Nathalie’s implication.
Nathalie continued, “You wouldn’t dare admit I’m not a Brown because it would reveal how you tricked a minor into donating a kidney.”
Miranda’s face turned ghostly white, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word.
