Chapter 11

The woman's face twisted into a hysterical snarl. "Miranda! Don't you forget who took care of you all those years! You ungrateful brat, back with the Hawke family and you act like you don't know where you came from!"

Miranda's expression remained calm. "You're right, I was born to be ungrateful. But your darling daughter Arabella, she's the epitome of gratitude."

"You think you can compare to my own daughter, you little tramp? Don't you see whether the Hawke family prefers my daughter or you?" the woman sneered with satisfaction. "So what if you were born into the Hawke family? It's still going to be my daughter's one day."

Miranda's eyes turned icy, but her lips curled into a smile. "You're right, the Hawke family is surely your daughter's future. So, the Hawke family's money is Arabella's money, and Arabella's money, well, isn't that yours?"

The woman's thoughts were clearly spinning with Miranda's words.

"So, coming to me for money is pointless, you should go find Arabella. Oh, by the way, I just saw her shopping at the mall next door. You might still catch her if you hurry."

Upon hearing this, the woman shot another glare at Miranda like she always did. "Of course, you better take good care of Arabella while you're at the Hawke family. Help her out. And if I ever hear you're giving her trouble, I'll deal with you myself!"

With that, she briskly headed towards the mall.

Miranda crossed her arms, watching the woman scurry away, a mocking smirk playing on her lips before she turned to leave.
